0815 The unexpected person
That night, Ding Ning lay comfortably in Murong Yanran's arms and slept well.
But when she was about to take a flight in the morning, Murong Yanran was worried again. Ding Xiaoning didn't even have a household registration book, so she couldn't take a plane!
Later, she had to use family resources that she had always been unwilling to use, and took advantage of her privileges to successfully bring Ding Ning on the plane.
"Mr. Mu, who is this child?"
Mo Bai was shocked when he saw Ding Ning, because he and Ding Ning looked so much like each other, as if they were carved from the same mold.
"This is Ding Ning's son!"
Murong Yanran was afraid that Ding Ning would hear her, so she whispered in Mo Bai's ear: "This child doesn't know who his father is yet, so don't let it slip in front of him."
"I understand, I understand!"
Mo Bai nodded repeatedly, but when he turned around, his expression became strange.
He instantly felt admiration for Ding Ning. He didn't expect the young master to be so awesome. He thought the two were still in a relationship. He didn't expect that he had already taken care of the eldest daughter of the Murong family, and even the child was as big as that.
If Murong Yanran knew that he thought so, she would have kicked him off the plane.
The jadeite public auction is a grand event for jadeite wool trading. It is a unique and fair auction method. Myanmar has strict management of jade resources. Only through the "public auction" can it be traded out of the country, and everything else is considered smuggling.
Nay Pyi Taw, the capital of Myanmar, is located in the narrow strip of Sitang Valley between the Bago Mountains and the Benong Mountains. It is surrounded by mountains to the north and plains to the south. It has an important strategic position and is also the venue for this jade sale.
The three of them got off the plane, took a car to the pre-booked hotel, put down their luggage, and hurried to the venue where the Jade Public Sale was held.
Looking at the low buildings and messy high-voltage telephone poles along the way, Ding Ning felt as if he had traveled back to the 1990s in China.
"Myanmar's economy is still very backward. It has not really developed yet. Compared with Naypyitaw and Yangon, it is not even a little bit behind!"
There was a trace of nostalgia in Mo Bai's expression and he said with emotion that the original Witch Demon Cult was at the junction of China and Burma. He also visited Burma often and was very familiar with it!
"Myanmar has a long-term civil war, coupled with drug trafficking, smuggling, proliferation of guns, and endemic corruption among the government forces. It is no wonder that the economy can develop."
Murong Yanran said with some regret: "It's a pity that there are so many raw stone mines. If these raw stone mines were all in our country, they would definitely play an irreplaceable role in the domestic economic development. If they fall into the hands of the Myanmar government, they will just get rich."
It’s just a money-making tool for your own pocket.”
"There is nothing we can do about it. There are many anti-government armed forces in Myanmar. Whoever has money and a gun is the boss. They believe in bringing power under the barrel of a gun. Of course, this also has its historical reasons. Myanmar
There are so many ethnic minorities in Myanmar, and each ethnic group has its own armed forces and even formed an independent political power. In addition, Myanmar is a mountainous country with very complex terrain. Even if the government army seizes the opportunity to clear out certain people,
It is impossible for a rebel/government/government armed force to
, these people just burrow into the old forest and fight guerrillas with the government forces. No one can do anything to them, so much so that the Myanmar government has not been able to eradicate these armed forces until now. In addition, some Western countries are secretly
Stirring up troubles is also a reason why the Myanmar government has never been able to unify; the biggest problem for the Myanmar government is that in addition to fighting among themselves, these anti-government armed forces will also unite to fight against the government and make the government
The army is also helpless."
Mo Bai seemed to have a very good understanding of the situation in Myanmar and said eloquently: "This is a country divided by heroes. It will be very difficult for the Myanmar government to maintain the current situation."
"I heard that there is a mixed bag of good and bad here, and the government troops are only superficial organizers. In fact, it is controlled by many underground forces, right?"
Murong Yanran also checked some information before coming here and asked curiously.
"Yes, where there are interests, there will always be disputes, and where there is light, there will be darkness. Myanmar is a very strange country. What most senior government officials think about all day long is not to let their citizens live a good life, but to let their citizens live a good life.
They are thinking about how to make a lot of money when they have the power, so there are many factions among the top government officials, and they even secretly cultivate and recruit some desperadoes to form evil forces to control the major rough stone mines and strive for the greatest benefits for themselves.
."
There was a strange smile on Mo Bai's face: "The reason why there is a mixed bag of fish and dragons here, and the mines are controlled by major forces, is actually the reason why the top government officials indulged themselves. Otherwise, how could there be a breeding ground for gangster forces? They fight against each other without any clues.
There is no order at all, but the government forces turn a blind eye and let them fight. In fact, it is a secret game between the top leaders. Whoever has the bigger fist can control more mines."
"Ah, then if we buy rough stones or jade, can we leave safely?"
Although Murong Yanran had long heard that this place was chaotic, she didn't expect that it would become such a mess. Concern flashed in her beautiful eyes.
"Mr. Mu, don't worry. Chaos is normal. These underground forces are usually lawless, but they don't dare to mess around during the public auction. After all, the Emerald Public Sale is the Burmese government's annual gold-fishing conference. All military expenditures for the coming year will be fully
Relying on this public offering to raise funds, no matter how greedy those high-level government officials are, they would not dare to raise money in this
Adding to the chaos, how can they make money after losing their status as a high-level government official? Besides, most of the people participating in the public auction are jewelers from all over the world and the children of rich and powerful families. If something really happens, who will pay for it in the future?
Will you come to participate in the public auction? The Myanmar government will never allow such a thing to happen."
Mo Bai knew what Murong Yanran was worried about and quickly explained, which made Murong Yanran feel relieved a little.
But what Mo Bai didn't tell her was that some underground forces also look at people. If some people with no power or background showed their wealth and aroused their greed, they would not risk the disapproval of the world.
Robbery and murder are possible, but it is not impossible to do it secretly.
But Mo Bai took into account that Murong Yanran was the eldest lady of the Murong family, and with the Murong family's golden name, not many people dared to have any ideas about her, so he didn't say much.
The two chatted and soon arrived at the venue where the fair was held. A simple fence surrounded a huge valley, and government troops with live ammunition patrolled back and forth to maintain public order.
Ding Ning was very considerate and did not let Murong Yanran hug her, but let her hold her hand and walked inside with her short legs.
After entering the fence, there are rough stones placed by vendors along the way. These people are all hawkers who rely on rough stones for a living. The rough stones they sell are either real or fake, and the prices are relatively cheap, attracting many people to linger.
Stone gambling is all about gambling, and it all depends on everyone's vision. Anyone who buys fake rough stones can only admit that he is unlucky. If anyone is unconvinced and wants to cause trouble, then I'm sorry, the government troops with live ammunition are not vegetarians.
Ding Ning looked at these rough stones with great interest, his eyes flashing with bright golden light, and he wanted to go and show off his skills immediately, because it was all money.
It's a pity that he is only a five or six-year-old child now. Not to mention that no one will do his business. Murong Yanran is worried about him getting lost and keeps holding his hand tightly all the way, which makes him useless as a hero.
.
Passing through the rough stone vendors on the periphery, and coming to the valley, we are greeted by a huge square with rough stones of different sizes. There are numbers on the rough stones. There are many customers selecting the rough stones. Next to them, there are
Uniformed staff shuttle back and forth, responsible for recording the numbers of rough stones selected by customers.
"This is the peripheral sales area during the public sale. The rough stones here are basically real. Unlike the mixed genuine and fake ones sold by vendors outside, you can buy and sell them at will, and you can also analyze the stones on site."
It seemed that this was not the first time that Mo Bai participated in the jade auction. As he walked, he introduced: "Going further inside, the palace-like house is the auction site of the jade auction. The rough stones there are full and half.
Materials, but they cannot be bought or sold privately, they all have to be auctioned. It is still early now, and the auction does not start until two o'clock in the afternoon every day."
"Then let's just scan the goods here, and then we'll go in and take a look when the auction starts!"
Murong Yanran said enthusiastically that as a jeweler, she had already been eager to try these woolen materials.
"Well, okay, let's get started! Do you plan to cut the stone on site, or buy the wool directly? They are responsible for door-to-door delivery. Of course, they are only responsible for delivering to the local place you designate. It is impossible to send it back to the country.
of!"
Mo Bai explained again that he had been eating and drinking with Murong Yanran these days, and he couldn't wait to show off his skills.
"I know this. I have asked the company's employees to rent the warehouse in advance. We don't need to take care of the transportation. We only need to be responsible for selecting the rough stones. Master Mo, I have to leave this to you. We can analyze the stones on site.
No need, I believe you."
Although Murong Yanran knew a thing or two about stone gambling, she knew how much she weighed, so she should leave the choice of wool to professionals.
"Don't worry, Mr. Mu, since the young master asked me to follow you, I will definitely not let you and the young master down."
Mo Bai swore that with the stone louse Gu as a cheating weapon, he could not guarantee that the bet would go up, but he was sure that every piece of rough stone he picked would turn green.
"Sister Yanran, why did you come here? Didn't you say you arrived yesterday?"
Mo Bai was concentrating on selecting wool, but Ding Ning looked at the man and three women coming towards him in astonishment, and his head suddenly became confused. When did Shen Muqing and Murong Yanran get along so well? What puzzled him the most was,
Shen Muqing is not in the jewelry business, so why would she come to participate in the jade auction?
"Mu Qing, I'm sorry. Something happened yesterday and I didn't have time to come over. I flew here early this morning. I also said I would call you later and we would have dinner together at noon."
Murong Yanran took Shen Muqing's hand enthusiastically and nodded to Tang Rui and Liu Yingying on the side. As for the expressionless man, she ignored it because she knew he was Shen Muqing's bodyguard.
"Hey, whose child is this? Wow, so cute!"
Shen Muqing glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw Ding Ning looking at her with wide eyes. She knelt down with a smile on her face and pinched his pink little face. Her eyes were shining, and she made no secret of her love for Ding Ning!
"Who do you think he looks like?"
Murong Yanran pursed her lips and smiled, giving it a try.
"Who does he look like? Hey, why does he look so much like Ding Ning? Could it be that he is Ding Ning..."
Shen Muqing's expression suddenly changed, and her smile gradually faded.
"Well, his name is Ding Xiaoning!"
Murong Yanran didn't say it clearly, but she still noticed the change in Shen Muqing's expression and sighed secretly in her heart, Ding Ning, Ding Ning, how many girls are you going to provoke!
"Ding Xiaoning? His mother is..."
Shen Muqing's eyes were a little dim, she bit her lips and asked with a forced smile.
