Chapter 444 Disagreement in the Stone Casino
Myanmar soldiers checked them very roughly, their clothes almost broke, and after they were searched for their wallets and mobile phones, they were kept by a dedicated person. After entering the forest, they did not give them the opportunity to contact the outside world. ◇↓
Two Burmese soldiers led the way in front, Li Qingyun, Wang Chao and others walked in the middle, and two soldiers held guns behind them, strictly guarding them like prisoners.
Wu Zhongxing patted a drought lee on his face and cursed and said, "Brother Sima, you are a bit unkind to do this? If we know that we are smuggling business with the Myanmar military, we will not be so muddy. Who doesn't know their reputation? They simply turn against each other and rob. It would be great if they can escape their lives."
Ouyang Zhao didn't plan to cooperate with them often, and after doing this transaction, he went his separate ways, so he was not very polite: "Old Wu, what do you mean? I regret it now? Before that, I only said that I would take a stable route of making money. Who do you care about my transactions with? If you have this ability, you will be on my head? What's wrong with the military? As long as you have a good relationship and trade with them, you will only earn more than others."
Li Qingyun glanced at Sima Zhao. This guy was justified and had a very thick-skinned face. Wang Chao lowered his head and looked bitter, and whispered: "Brother Li, we are probably going to fall into trouble this time... The reputation of the Myanmar military is really not very good, especially after grasping our smuggling handle, it depends on their mood to kill and shave. Sima Zhao, the old dog, had clearly said that he had done a business with an intermediate agent before coming, but now he has turned against him."
"It's time to come, let's take a step by step. Although it's a bit more dangerous to do smuggling business with the military, Sima Zhao won't joke with his own money, right?" Li Qingyun comforted him a few words, but he didn't even believe what he said.
"Shit! If Sima Zhao reaches some kind of agreement with Kungang, they will blackmail us, destroy all our 1.1 billion funds, and then give Sima Zhao a commission and dividend." Wang Chao glanced at Sima Zhao behind him, and anger and helplessness flashed across his face.
Li Qingyun bounced away a brightly colored caterpillar on the branch in front of him, and turned the path under his feet. The scenery in front of him suddenly became clear, and a small hill appeared. At the end of the path, there was a dark cave. Although two light bulbs hung on one left and one right, it still seemed yin and erect.
The two soldiers walking in the front stopped Li Qingyun and his group. They entered for a while. When they came out, the mobile phone wallet they confiscated was gone.
Sima Zhao seemed to be scolded by these companions. She was afraid that they would have any misunderstandings, so she explained: "The confiscated items will be held in the entrance registration office. When we choose the jadeite rough stone, a special person will send them to us so that we can swipe the card or transfer the money. Don't worry, this was the same transaction before, and I am familiar with this process."
The Burmese soldiers did not stop them from speaking and watched them enter the cave. Then they lined up to return to the edge of the woods.
The entrance of the cave is inconspicuous, but after entering it, it actually has a different kind of cave, which is simply a military base. An officer in his thirties came over with a stern face and shouted in a formulaic manner: "Are you Chinese businessmen who come to buy stones? I am Sota, and Chief Wu Kungang ordered me to receive you."
Burmese people do not have a surname, and a man’s name is added with the word “Wu” before it. It means a respectful title, which means a gentleman, while a woman’s name is added with the word “Du” before it, which means a lady.
Sota's broken English sounds very uncomfortable and fierce. It feels difficult to contact. Sima Zhao seemed to be used to listening, so he went over and greeted him diligently, saying that Wu Kungang had been receiving it before, and he had never met Chief Wu Suota. Please take care of him during the transaction.
When shook hands, Sima Zhao naturally and skillfully sent two gold ingots to Suota's hand, which finally made the other party's face add a smile.
"Okay, I will do my best. Chief Wu Kungang is receiving important guests. Today I don't have time to receive you. Now I will take you to the stone yard directly. After the selection, I will arrange for you to load the car immediately. Recently, the situation in Pagan is not stable, and you should choose goods quickly." Sota said, letting the soldiers at the checkpoint release and bring them into the depths of the cave.
Sima Zhao seemed to be a little confused, followed closely and asked in a low voice: "When I came, I had made an agreement with Mr. Kungang. We are always in love. The amount of transaction this time is also very huge. I am not at ease if I don't see Mr. Kungang."
"What do you mean is that you can't trust me, Sota?" Sota's temper was extremely irritable. She just showed a smile. Now she actually pulled out her gun, pointed at Sima Zhao's head, and shouted, "If you don't trust me, get out immediately. Our stone business has never lacked partners."
Sima Zhao was scolded like a grandson, and kept apologizing and gave two more gold bars, which made Sota calm down his anger.
Li Qingyun could see that the Myanmar military did not treat his collaborators as human beings, and the two sides were not equal at all. One side was too strong, and the other side was no different from the lambs to be slaughtered. No wonder Wu Zhongxing and Wang Chao did not want to do business with the Myanmar military.
After passing several levels, several people came to a huge iron gate, where dozens of fully armed soldiers were guarding the iron gate. Suota swiped an identity authentication card on the iron gate, waved his fingerprint and password, and the huge iron gate slowly opened.
When entering the iron gate, there was a corridor three or four meters wide in front of the few people. You could see a huge open area at the end of the corridor, filled with jadeite raw stones, rows, like soldiers undergoing inspection, placed anywhere, without a glance.
"You go in and choose, call me after you choose. Since the driver has been here before, I should know the rules here, so I won't repeat it." After saying that the Sota entered a nearby basin-like resting platform, with a heavy machine gun and two sniper rifles on the platform. Several soldiers were monitoring the movements of the entire stone yard at all times.
There are eight similar rest tables or bunkers in total. It seems that the owners here attach great importance to the security and defense work here.
"The total value of jadeite rough stones here may be over 100 billion. They are too rich, no worse than the Yangon public market this time. Sima, how should we choose?" Entering here, even if Wu Zhongxing had a huge resentment, he could only choose the jadeite rough stones first. If there is any conflict, only if he returns to China safely, he will have the opportunity to liquidate it.
Sima Zhao explained: "There is a label under each piece of jadeite rough stone, which is labeled with a number, weight, origin and price. After selecting it, the label will be torn off and placed on the ground in front of the stone. Someone came to use a trolley to send the jadeite rough stone to an open place. After the accounts are settled, they will be loaded into the cart and delivered to the location requested by the customer."
Li Qingyun glanced and found that there was a number on the label. A number was written on the jadeite rough stone with a red pen. It was very eye-catching and would not make any mistakes in the stone. Touch it with your hand and let the spirit enter the jadeite rough stone, and it came out soon, and then touched another rough stone... With just one piece of effort, I had already checked ten rough stones.
Among these ten pieces, three can cut a large amount of jade, one can cut a small amount of jade, and the other six pieces are just a little thin layer of jade, which has no value.
This outstanding ratio is quite normal and meets the current probability of success in the gambling stone market. It seems that there are a lot of good materials here and it is worth a big deal.
Li Qingyun was about to tear off the three labels that could produce a large amount of jade, but Sima Zhao said, "The four of us invested a total of 1.1 billion yuan, and the share ratio was already divided. I accounted for 30%, which means that I can choose 330 million jadeite rough stones. To put it bluntly, I can't believe in your gambling stone level. I won't talk about these two young people, even Lao Wu, you can't do it."
Wu Zhongxing said angrily: "We are talking about the profit sharing afterwards, and we don't say we separate from the time we choose stones. Sima, we should not be too shameless in being a human being."
Wang Chao also blushed completely with him and said angrily: "I haven't returned to China yet. Master Sima, why are you embarrassed to say this? Although I have not been in this industry for a long time, my grandfather and his family are still quite influential in the jewelry industry in Xiangjiang. Master Sima, don't do anything bad, you will be kind at that time."
Sima Zhao gave up the jar. Anyway, he offended them so much that he didn't care about anything: "Hmph, don't tell me it's useless. If you want to pass through this smuggling route safely, you must listen to me now. Okay, I'll select goods from the A-line first. Don't yell here and get the stones directly in the future. So, go to the place in H-district to pick up the stones, so that we can't mess up the jadeite rough stones we picked out."
Sima Zhao didn't want to waste a little time, so she started from the A-row at the door, allowing Li Qingyun and his group to waste their time and walk inside.
Wang Chao gritted his teeth in hatred. He was pulled away by Wu Zhongxing and also pulled Li Qingyun away. He didn't want to fight here. If he angered the soldiers here, he would die if the gun went off.
After reaching the H-row platoon, Wu Zhongxing said a little embarrassedly: "Since Sima Zhao wants to divide it, then he can do whatever he wants. Let's not divide it. We just choose one or several rows each. Let's secretly compete to see who chooses the most valuable raw stone. I account for 15%, and I should be able to choose about 1.65 billion jadeite raw stones. Li Qingyun also has this amount. Wang Chao can choose the 4.440 million amount. If I don't have enough money, I will choose the h-row platoon. You can assign the number of rows in the back."
Li Qingyun smiled lightly, and he was not afraid of whatever they arranged it. Judging from Wu Zhongxing’s meaning, he actually meant to mark it, but he was embarrassed to say it out.
Wang Chao's face was gloomy. In the face of huge benefits, even Wu Zhongxing was not trustworthy. He said depressedly: "I don't know how to gambling stones. I used to rely on all my confusion, and I also brought professional appraisal experts. This time I thought I could save some worry when working with you experts, but I didn't expect that I would have to rely on myself in the end."
