Originally, a few people were talking happily, but as soon as this guy said this, the other people lost interest. This was a direct blow. At most, these people had a relatively large restaurant in a second-tier city in the country.
In the jewelry store, they used to go to some domestic jade public sales. Who knew that the stones shipped in recent years have become worse and worse, and it is obvious that buying jade is too expensive, so they can only
Bringing your own wealth to Myanmar to hunt for treasures is a formality.
"Guys, this is my first time going to the jade auction in Myanmar. I wonder if I can take some company with you. We are all Chinese, so it will be easy to take care of us when we get there, right?" Li Lailai was sighing when several people were sighing.
I said this. In fact, when they went there, they were all alone. It was only later that they found out that they went together. Firstly, the place in Myanmar is too chaotic. It is easier to do things with more people. Secondly, it is better to have one more friend.
A road, especially in the jewelry industry, if two people are close together, they can take care of each other if this family has more goods and that family has less goods, and there are junior brothers like Li Cong everywhere.
There is also a rule in this industry. If you want to follow it, you have to pay for all the expenses such as food and drink in Myanmar. Although everyone has a lot of wealth, you have to take advantage of it.
This is such a rule. It is the same as the unspoken rules in the entertainment industry. An actress wants to play the leading female role without letting the director sleep? Is the director stupid or the actor stupid? Such a situation will never happen in millions of years.
of.
In fact, these people originally wanted to find a few more people to go with them. When they saw Li Cong taking the initiative to talk, they looked at the boy again and found that he seemed to be an honest person. Anyway, these people were all
He's an old man, so it's no problem to bring a new person. Of course, he's not afraid of anything happening to this kid. Myanmar's jadeite public market is the biggest source of profit for the Myanmar government. If someone wants to cause trouble on it, he will probably be the first one.
The ones who don’t agree should be the Myanmar military. Businessmen like them are the gods of wealth when they arrive in Myanmar, so there is no problem with safety. As long as you show your proof of funds, generally anyone with more than 10 million yuan can do it.
There are people directly sent by the Myanmar government to protect them.
"I don't know where this little brother made his fortune. Forgive us elders, but it's our first time meeting him." Although several people already wanted to take Li Cong with them, this matter is not a trivial matter after all.
They also have to see where this kid comes from. It's best if he is useful. If he is a useless waste, they don't want to drag him along. Although they are all from second-tier cities in China, for people in this industry,
Basically, people are familiar to each other, and even if you are not familiar with them, their names are still clear to you.
"My surname is Li, you can just call me Xiao Li. I recently made a little money from stock trading, as you all know. That stock thing is really unreliable. It was worth several million in the morning.
By the afternoon, it had become hundreds of thousands. My father was very disgusted with my approach. I happened to hear people say that it is possible to make money by hoarding some jade. My family also wanted me to switch to industry, so I wanted to go to Myanmar to visit.
, and then come back and open a jewelry store in Shanghai." What Li Cong said was half true and half false. The part about the origin of his money was indeed not true, but the rest was true. He really wanted to open a jewelry store when he came back.
The jewelry store is just the largest jewelry store in the country.
It was understandable after everyone heard what Li Cong said. People today say that the life of the poor is difficult. In fact, it seems that the life of the rich is the most difficult. They finally made some money through hard work and the risk of beheading.
, but the depreciation speed of this money is too fast. Needless to say, if you put it in the bank, the interest earned after one year is not as good as the interest tax paid. If you buy stocks, you will make a fortune if you catch up with the bull market.
, if you fail to catch up with the bull market or catch up with the bear market, I'm sorry for you. Half your life's savings will have to say goodbye to you. In recent years, rich people generally invest in jadeite rough. As a result, the appreciation rate of this thing is higher than that of real estate.
There are too many, and real estate is making money day by day and not making money at all. One day, the country's economy will no longer need real estate developers. But these people are doomed. This jade is different. They only have a little bit. It is produced in Myanmar. Even if the price is reduced, they can save it by themselves.
Get up sooner or later and wait until it's out of stock and the price will increase. Anyway, this thing can't be regenerated.
"Haha, young man, you have a good idea. Jade can indeed preserve the value of your assets, but what we are going to is a gambling stone. Do you know that this gambling stone is a knife to heaven and a knife to hell? If you really have the courage,
We can take you there. To be honest, we are all jewelers nearby and from some second-tier cities around Shanghai. Just call me Brother Zhao. These two are Brother Tian and Brother Hu.
, In terms of age, Brother Hu is enough to be your uncle, so calling you brother doesn’t count.” Brother Zhao also transformed in this way at the beginning. The difference is that he was originally engaged in construction, and later he completed the construction after his transformation.
The market has also fallen into a downturn, and they have escaped. The other two people also nodded to Li Cong. After all, Li Cong is going to Myanmar to be responsible for their expenses. They will be friends in the future. Maybe who can use it and who can't.
To whom?
"Hello brothers, thank you for taking me to Myanmar to see the world. All expenses except for the air tickets in my hands belong to my brothers. In addition, I will invite you to support me when my jewelry store opens in the future.
Ah." After Li Cong finished speaking, he took out the cigarettes from his pocket and started to smoke. Although smoking is not allowed in the airport, this is a VIP area. Even if someone sees it, it will only be fined at most. They have a lot of money.
Just throw a stack to you and count them slowly. The security guards also know that these people can't be offended, so they won't come over directly.
Several people took the cigarettes handed over by Li Cong. Yes, they were from China. This guy seemed to have a good fortune, but you can't tell it now. You can only tell it when you get to Myanmar, because if you are a jade businessman, you will get it as soon as you get off the plane.
There are people from the Myanmar government who are responsible for contacting you. Of course, some people do not need this to keep their own funds confidential, so they have to rely on their own bodyguards. But most people have to rely on the Myanmar government, because this is Myanmar.
It’s really too chaotic. There are people from the military government and various mine owners. To put it bluntly, they are warlords. There are even drug dealers. The most powerful army in Myanmar is in the Golden Triangle. But after knowing everything about the Golden Triangle, Li Cong
I'm not so scared anymore. The people there are all my younger brother Zhong Qingshan's younger brother. I'm still their eldest brother, so there's nothing to be afraid of.
A few people chatted for a while and then it was time to board the plane. Li Cong also got a lot of news. All major domestic jewelry companies will go to Myanmar. Because of the recent increase in jade prices, some of the domestic jade rough stones are
Only the remaining ones will be picked up and shipped to the country. We are not fools. Anyway, it is very convenient to go to Myanmar from the country. So it is better to go abroad to have a look, although you may not find jade there.
, but at least the probability is much higher than in China, and the price of this rough jade stone is also much cheaper than in China.
When they got on the plane, the bosses were a little surprised. This guy even got a first-class ticket for his female secretary. Generally speaking, even rich bosses would not get a first-class ticket for their secretary.
, because the people here are all boss-level people, so everyone talks about some things. These female secretaries are only useful in bed, and are of no use in a place that needs practical people, so most people go there.
In Myanmar, people are either single or looking for a stone consultant. It is really rare to bring a female secretary.
"Boss, as per your instructions, I just applied for two cards at our branch of Hua Xia Bank at the airport. Both of them can be used for direct phone transactions. There are 10 million yuan in each card. This is considered to be our spending in Myanmar.
?" Karelina handed the two bank cards in her pocket to Li Cong. It is a huge failure for a country to mainly use the banking system of another country, but this is the case in Myanmar, because there is no such thing in Myanmar.
There is no trustworthy force. Even the central government of Myanmar often does not keep its word. Therefore, the most famous banks and currencies in Myanmar are not from their country. In Myanmar, some banks from China are more reputable, and the currency is also
Mainly used in currencies such as RMB and US dollars. As for the local currency of Myanmar, forget it. Apart from being somewhat useful near Yangon, it is basically the same as waste paper in other warlord areas, and the various warlord separatist forces have internal conflicts.
They all have their own currency, and this is the chaotic Myanmar.
"Twenty million yuan is already very good. If it weren't for the cost of buying stones, I wouldn't even be willing to take this money. Karelina, I think you really made a profit, because you can witness with your own eyes what a billionaire does.
"It was born." Li Cong said scornfully, but Karelina believed that her boss could do what she said. She didn't use the group's funds and connections to go to the ***, so she just won it directly.
Trillions of dollars. If Japan's economy recovers, it will be several trillion dollars, which is equivalent to Japanese people working for their bosses for free.
"Of course I know, boss. Just now my colleague at the bank reminded me that the system in Myanmar is not as developed as in China, so we still need some cash. I took out 200,000 yuan in cash from my suitcase.
." Karelina is always so considerate when doing things, which is why Li Cong took her with him. Being from the Investigation Department, he is acceptable to other things, and he is careful and can think of aspects that he can't think of.
And he also cares deeply about himself. Who wouldn’t want such a secretary?
In fact, the time from Shanghai to Myanmar is not very long. After a few chats with Karelina, Li Cong said that they had arrived at Myanmar International Airport. At this time, Li Cong had to start acting as the little brother of those people. This is also
There is nothing I can do about it. I will be blind when I get here. If I don't follow a few old people, I'm afraid it will be a problem how to get to the Myanmar Jade Market.
The first thing I felt when I got off the plane was that it was hot. It was already late autumn in Shanghai, but it still felt like it was hot here. Fortunately, I was reminded by those guys when I was on the plane that I changed into it.
Short-sleeved, otherwise I would have turned into a drowned rat as soon as I got off the plane. I can say that it was okay, but if a woman like Karelina was also covered in stinky sweat, it would be so unpleasant. So in this regard, Li
I am still very grateful to them.
About 200 people got off the plane, but Li Cong felt that these people came because of Myanmar's jade auction, because as soon as they got off the plane, more than half of them walked towards the registration office established by the central government of Myanmar.
That's where the funds are verified. As long as you can provide proof of funds exceeding 10 million yuan, they will arrange for a Burmese soldier to follow you every day to protect your safety in Burma, but you are responsible for this person's food, drink, and sleep.
Of course, the people who come here don’t care about the money for safety.
It can be said that the brand of the Myanmar central government is still very useful in the Yangon area, so bringing a soldier can basically ensure your own safety. Those people are not willing to provoke the army.
"Okay, there is no problem with the financial certificates of the four of you, but now it is different from before. If you need the protection of soldiers, please pay 10,000 yuan, RMB, and 10,000 yuan for a bodyguard." A Burmese who speaks very blunt Chinese
The government representative said, my dear, the price of your soldiers is almost catching up with the price of the world's top bodyguards, but they all have various abilities. You are just ordinary soldiers, and you are asking for such a price.
Gao, these were all free in the past.
Li Cong was about to argue with the official for a while, but Brother Zhao immediately stopped him, shook his head gently, and signaled Li Cong not to cause trouble here, but Li Cong could only take out 40,000 yuan from the box.
, I have already spent 40,000 yuan before doing anything. This Burmese jade public sale can attract at least tens of thousands of people from all over the world to purchase. Of course, not everyone needs bodyguards, but at least people from Nine Cities
It is needed. This requires nearly 100 million yuan in revenue. You must know that Myanmar’s national GDP is only a few tens of billions of yuan. This is in relatively good years, and the annual tax revenue of the Myanmar central government is less than 10 billion yuan.
Most of the RMB is obtained by exchanging national resources.
"I said, Xiao Li, thank you for your money, but I won't ask you to give this money in vain. I tell you, never argue with these people in their government in Myanmar. It is the same as in our country. The people
Don't go to the authorities, otherwise it will be us who will suffer in the end. Although they welcome us to come here to buy jade, you have to know that if these people get ruthless and kill us anywhere, no one will care.
, the country will not have trouble with the Myanmar government because of one person. The Myanmar government is the most friendly country in South Asia with our central government." Lao Zhao came out and said to Li Cong directly, this newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and there are some things that need to be done.
Let him know.
"Thank you, Brother Zhao, for your advice. If you hadn't been here, I would have started arguing with them." Li Cong said embarrassedly. In fact, Li Cong didn't think so in his heart. He would naturally not care if you lost several countries.
They asked, if they lost it, let alone the country, they would have to turn the whole Myanmar over with their own strength. This time they came to Myanmar by themselves, and they were very worried on the 1st. This place is not the same as ***, so
We could only inject a small tracking device into Li Cong's body, otherwise Li Cong would not have thought of coming alone.
After leaving the airport, Li Cong quickly found two taxis. However, these can only be called cars. These cars are basically from the last century. Even the air conditioner cannot be turned on, but even if
The air conditioner is in good condition, so don't expect these stingy drivers to turn it on for you, because there are regulations among these drivers. If one person turns on the air conditioner, other drivers will give him a beating. What's going on?
?You rely on the fact that your car has air conditioning, right? Li Cong estimates that the people who started this movement are those whose cars have no air conditioning.
"Haha, it will be nice when we get to the hotel. There is air conditioning there, but I think the price of this hotel will be very high recently. There are so many people coming at once." Lao Tian watched Li Cong wipe his sweat constantly,
He said with a smile, "Originally, this old boy wanted to rely on Li Cong's female secretary, but who knew that Li Cong suddenly pushed Karelina to the front? He hasn't eaten yet, how can I call you an old guy?"
Taking advantage, Lao Tian could only get into the back seat of the car in frustration when Li Cong saw through his thoughts.
After walking for about forty minutes, we arrived at a five-star hotel in Myanmar. Looking at the ny sign on it, Li Cong knew that this was his own hotel. It was pretty good and he didn’t need to give himself a full room.
There are no air-conditioned houses yet. Myanmar is such a country. Other things in the country are not developing very fast, but the tourism industry is really good, so the hotel is very good.
Li Cong raised his head and took a look. In fact, he really wanted to live on the top floor, because he knew that every hotel he owned had the best rooms. But now was not the time to show off, so he had better not think about that and quickly fulfill his younger brother's duty.
The responsibilities used to require three large suites, one for three of them, one for the four bodyguards, and one for Li Cong and Karelina. Basically, Karelina wouldn’t need to go out in the future, and the rest would just follow*
**The same thing. What Karelina needs is to give herself some support, so she must be given a comfortable environment.
