Chapter Fifty-Three: I'll Lead the Way
Inside the market, under the iron shed between the shops on both sides, there are stalls like a vegetable market.
It's just that these shops haven't opened yet, so there aren't many people.
Chu Ying looked around for a few times and asked in a low voice, "Boss, isn't this Delong International Jewelry City a jade market? But why do there seem to be so few people and it feels like it's about to close?"
"You ask me, who should I ask?"
Xu Chen was also very confused. The jade market in Delong International Jewelry City found online did not seem to have many people.
"Brother Deng, you are from Nanyun, do you know?"
"Well, I don't know very well. I have been serving in the military a few years ago. After I came back, things changed a lot here."
"How about asking someone?" Xu Chen said and walked over and asked, "Hello, brother, can I ask why there are so few people here?"
"Is this your first time here?"
“This is indeed my first time here”
The man smiled: "Emerald City has three major markets: morning market, lunch market, and night market.
At this time, most people go to the Big Banyan Tree, which is the morning market. If you come here at night, it will be the busiest at night."
"Brother, where is the big banyan tree?"
"That's the port sister - tell me over there, just cross the river"
..
After passing the Rui-Li River, take the Jie-Gao Bridge and head south to the Jie-Gao China-Myanmar Free Trade Zone.
In fact, as early as the Han Dynasty, this land had been under the jurisdiction of China. It was not until 1885 that the Mizi Kingdom occupied Myanmar and forcibly added this land to the territory of Myanmar.
Nowadays, after production, the jadeite from the Myitkyi-Nawulu River Basin in Myanmar will first be concentrated here in Jiegao, and then pass through here to radiate throughout Southeast Asia.
Jade City is located inside the Free Trade Zone, and the place is already bustling with people.
Two years ago, there was an online story about an elder sister who broke a bracelet worth 300,000 yuan, which happened here.
..
Not only are there many businesses, tourists, and live broadcasters, but in a small border town with a population of more than 100,000, there are almost 100,000 live broadcasters, and the annual arrival of goods exceeds 10 billion, which is huge.
In Jie Gao Jade City, there are not only counters inside the store, but also stalls outside the store.
Finished jewelry, semi-cut materials, rough stones and wool, all grades and sizes are available.
"Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu, look at that pendant, it's so beautiful," Chu Ying said, pointing to a pendant as big as a finger and shaped like a drop of water.
“Really pretty”
Xu Chen turned around to look, praised him, and kept walking forward.
At this time, two men with slightly darker skin and curly hair squeezed through the crowd, holding up several pieces of jade in their hands, and shouted:
"Boss, do you want jade?"
"Boss, what do you think of this? Make a price."
Xu Chen glanced at the jade on these people's hands and shook his head: "Sorry, we don't want it."
"Boss, take a look, it's not expensive."
"Yes, boss, you give me a price and I'll sell it to you if it suits you."
The two curly-haired men were not very old, and looked to be in their twenties. They had slightly dark skin and strange accents. Even after hearing Xu Chen's words, they did not move away, but continued to pester them.
There is quite a feeling of being forced to buy and sell.
"I said, I don't want it"
Xu Chen couldn't help shouting loudly when he saw them continuing to struggle, and Deng Gang also caught up at this time.
The two men then left angrily.
"boss"
Chu Ying leaned over in a low voice with some fear.
"It's okay" Xu Chen comforted.
This was in broad daylight, so there was no real robbery or anything like that.
At this moment, a cry came from not far away:
"Mr. Xu, Xu Chen..."
Xu Chen looked around and saw that at a booth on the left, the man broadcasting the live broadcast was looking at him, waving and shouting:
"Mr. Xu, come here"
Chu Ying also looked at the man, then turned around and said, "Boss, do you have an acquaintance here?"
She was a little happy. It was much safer to have acquaintances in a place so far away from home.
At least you don’t have to worry about being robbed or forcibly bought or sold at any time.
"Let's go and have a look"
Xu Chen naturally didn't know that person, but he still felt that he might get something unexpected if he went over to take a look.
..
Lu Jie is an online anchor. In this country with more than 140 million anchors, he is simply not ranked as a transparent person.
Just like this book is in Zongheng, few people know of his existence.
Lu Jie has an online name called "Looking at Flowers at the End of the Road". After Sun Qian posted the video, she was in the minority supporting Xu Chen.
He didn't expect to see Xu Chen here, or he didn't expect that he would happen to see Xu Chen here.
Xu Chen runs a jewelry company, so he must be here to purchase goods.
If I could be a middleman...
Seeing Xu Chen walking over, Lu Jie hurriedly said to the fans in the live broadcast room:
"Family, I have something to do on the trail so I'll get off first. We'll see you tomorrow!"
After turning off the live broadcast, Lu Jie came up to him and said with a smile: "Mr. Xu, hello. Nice to meet you. I am Lu Jie. My online name is [Looking at Flowers at the End of the Road]. I survived you a few days ago."
"Hello"
Xu Chen greeted politely and asked, "Do you have a problem with me?"
"Well, it's nothing serious, I just want to ask Mr. Xu if he needs a guide.
I have been live broadcasting here for more than two years, and I am quite familiar with it. If Mr. Xu needs it, I can guide you."
Xu Chen looked at the man who called himself Lu Jie. He was in his twenties, quite tall, slightly fat, with medium-long hair in a pigtail.
His looks are certainly incomparable to Xu Chen's, but he can still be called handsome.
In fact, Xu Chen's appearance is above average, but he is confident.
Confident men are the most handsome!
Seeing that Xu Chen didn't speak, Lu Jie said awkwardly: "Well, if Mr. Xu doesn't need it, I won't bother you."
“I didn’t say I didn’t need it.”
Xu Chen smiled: "Then I'll trouble Brother Lu."
