When he learned that Shi Lei was on a business trip on the fifth day of the first lunar month, Sun Yiyi and his mother also said that they would go back to Wu Dong on the fifth day of the first lunar month.

After brunch, Shi Lei, Sun Yiyi and Sun's mother returned to Wu Dong.

After sending them home, Shi Lei went straight to the airport to meet with Qu Xingye.

They took a plane to Banna, Qiannan, and it only took two or three hours to drive from Banna to Xiaomengla, Myanmar.

When the plane arrived in Banna, it was already ten o'clock in the evening. Qu Xingye had already contacted Myanmar, and there was an off-road vehicle waiting for them at the airport.

After getting on the car, Qu Xingye and Shi Lei introduced: "At the Raw Stone Fair, the total value of the Raw Stone is over 100 million, so guests with more than 5 million funds will be responsible for picking up and dropping off. In about three hours, we will be able to arrive at Xiaomengla where the Trading Club is located. The hotel is also arranged by the seller of the Trading Festival. There are no rigid regulations, and it is okay to just look at it and not buy it. The Trading Festival starts at 10 am tomorrow and will not end until dark."

Shi Lei smiled and said, "Mr. Qu bet on stones worth more than one million, and rough stones worth more than one million, and it seems that there are not too many."

Qu Xingye waved his hand and said, "You guys don't know what I bet on are semi-finished products. I have already opened the window on the skin and can see a lot of content inside. Therefore, the prices are relatively high. And not all of them are more than one million, most of them are actually hundreds of thousands. And the larger ones are completely unopened. The larger ones are more than one hundred thousand per piece, and the smaller ones range from thousands to tens of thousands. It is not as Shi Wu imagined. They are all stones worth more than one million. Therefore, the total number of raw stones is still quite considerable, and there are at least thousands."

Shi Lei nodded. Although he had made up some knowledge about jade gambling stones before setting off, he still knew nothing about the specific situation.

"I really don't know much about these things, and I need Mr. Qu to help."

Qu Xingye immediately smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "I just knew some superficial rules. I used to think that I had enough vision, but now, I really dare not say that I can help Shi Shao. If I ask me for help, I would recommend Shi Shao to take a look, or buy a few stones less than 100,000 yuan to play with it. It is best not to touch those high-priced raw stones that have been opened by the window. This thing is empty, and it seems that it is green. If it doesn't make a good deal, it's a layer of green skin. The stones bought for hundreds of thousands or millions are worth tens of thousands or tens of thousands of yuan. If they really have a very good appearance, they will gamble if they don't make a good deal in the mine. How could they leave it to us?"

Shi Lei smiled, his body slightly facing Qu Xingye, and said, "Since Mr. Qu knows that it is difficult for these rough stones to rise sharply at the trade fair, why do you still have to bet?"

Qu Xingye smiled bitterly and said, "Do I still have a way out now? I have only one million yuan in my family. I am used to the past life. This million yuan will probably be difficult to support for even three years. I can only bet on luck. After all, there is still a chance. At my position, no matter how slim the opportunity, I have to take a try. I always hope to get back to the factory, which can be considered as an explanation for my wife and children."

Shi Lei looked at Qu Xingye's bitter face, and he had already keenly felt that if Qu Xingye still lost all his money this time, he would be the only one left when he was not in trouble.

Judging from the information searched online, at the stone gambling fair in Myanmar, people from different parts of the world disappear inexplicably every year.

Shi Lei once thought about whether the bets have risen sharply. People who can control the stone gambling fair here are all armed and will detain people and prevent them from taking away the jade. However, listening to Qu Xingye's introduction along the way, this kind of thing rarely happens. At least he has been here more than ten times, and he has never heard of such a thing.

It seems that those missing people lost their money because of bets and finally returned home without any shame, so they broke up here on their own.

After the exchanges between the first day of Chu and today, Shi Lei also found that Qu Xingye is not the kind of person who never repents. However, he is now under a huge burden and always wants to restore his previous situation, so he wants to use this last ten million to fight to the death.

As we chatted all the way, the car had arrived at the border between China and Myanmar. The driver asked the two for their passports, said a few words to the soldiers on the border, stuffed some cash, and waved his hand over and let the vehicle go.

After driving for another hour, the off-road vehicle was parked under a seven or eight-story building. The driver told the two in awkward Chinese that the hotel had arrived.

The hotel is probably only at three-star level in China, and the cleaning is not too clean, but Shi Lei has nothing to pay attention to in such a place.

At first, they arranged a standard room for the two, but Qu Xingye knew that Shi Lei was definitely not used to living in the same room with him, so he discussed it with the other party. Shi Lei vaguely heard Qu Xingye say that they would buy at least 10 million stones at this trade fair, and the other party finally adjusted the two of them into two rooms.

After Qu Xingye got the room card, he returned to Shi Lei and said, "Mr. Shi, we each have a room, and I will live next to you. It's getting late, so hurry up and wash up and go to bed early. I will wake you up at nine o'clock tomorrow morning and let's have breakfast together. After dinner, there will be a car to take us to the fair site."

Shi Lei didn't say much, nodded and went upstairs to enter the room.

There was a smell of wet and mold in the room, but this was not the time to pay attention to it. Shi Lei rinsed casually and lay on the bed, but he was so drowsy that he couldn't fall asleep completely. It was not until dawn that he finally fell asleep.

Before he could sleep for a long time, he heard the doorbell ringing. Shi Lei got up sleepily and opened the door for Qu Xingye. He washed himself and followed Qu Xingye to have breakfast.

The breakfast was a bit unexpected, and it was almost exactly the same as the domestic one, soy milk, fried dough sticks, porridge and pancakes, and it really tasted the same as the domestic one.

Qu Xingye told Shi Lei that this was also specially arranged by the organizer, and the breakfast arrangements for guests from different countries are also different.

"The trade fair is only one day?" Shi Lei asked while drinking soy milk.

Qu Xingye shook his head and said, "It's been three days in total, but it's often more than that, because as long as the raw stones are not sold out, the transaction will basically continue. These people live by mining the raw stones, and in their eyes every raw stone is cash."

Shi Lei nodded. After eating, the two got on a minibus and staggered for more than twenty minutes, and finally arrived at the scene.

In the car, Qu Xingye told Shi Lei that the trade fair site was protected by private armed forces, and there were many locals with a shoulders on their shoulders and even inside, but there were no need to be afraid, because such stone gambling transactions often result in disputes. Those people just wanted to maintain order and prevent disputes, and at the same time they also played the role of protecting those guests who made money after gambling, or wanted to take away the jade directly.

Shi Lei expressed his understanding, but when he got off the bus, he was still a little surprised because there were really a lot of people carrying guns.

Even Qu Xingye was a little surprised. He frowned and asked a local person with whom he had known for a long time why so many people were responsible for the safety of the trade fair this time.

The man smiled and explained to Qu Xingye and Shi Lei in awkward Chinese: "At this trade fair, all the raw stones came from an old pit, and the total value of the raw stones exceeded 500 million, so it needs to be extra safe."
