"If nothing else happens, it should be 60 billion."
Commander Zhu's eyes were shining.
Zhang Hao smiled and nodded: "Well done, it's worth staying in Myanmar for half a month."
In fact, 60 billion is not a lot.
Take the Ambani family, the richest man in India, as an example. Their gold collection alone amounts to tens of billions. If he were not afraid of the negative impact, he would really like to find an opportunity to clean up the homes of these fort owners, and then conduct a large-scale property raid.
.
It's a pity that he can't make this bad start.
After all, he is also one of the rich.
"Thanks to your wise guidance, Archon, otherwise there would not be such a good opportunity. This time the Navy Department will be able to get about 30 billion. Minister Jiang asked me to help him say thank you." Commander Zhu complimented.
Minister Jiang is the top leader of the Navy Department.
Zhang Hao smiled and waved his hand, and then reminded: "As for this money... you must handle it well, and don't let Dean Fan and others get a hold of it. There is a saying that is good, don't worry about the scarcity of money but the inequality."
"Don't worry, we have already made a plan and everything will be taken care of. Nothing will happen."
Commander Zhu is very confident.
The two chatted and soon arrived at the warehouse.
The warehouse is heavily guarded outside.
When the soldiers saw the consul and Commander Zhu arriving hand in hand, they immediately saluted with a military salute.
Commander Zhu casually returned a military salute, while Zhang Hao waved and greeted the soldiers.
Immediately afterwards, the two entered the warehouse.
The most conspicuous thing in the warehouse is the pile of gold bars facing the main door. Each gold bar is about the length of a palm, three fingers wide and one centimeter thick.
Zhang Hao picked up the top gold bar and looked at it carefully. There was no writing on the gold bar and he couldn't see the way out. Then he weighed it:
"Is this one kilogram?"
"That's right, there are a total of thirteen thousand three hundred and fifty-six in this pile. If converted into tons, it is just over thirteen tons." Commander Zhu remembered it clearly.
"There is only 5 billion in cash, and the value of gold is four times that of cash. It seems that the military leaders are more willing to believe in gold." Zhang Hao sighed.
Commander Zhu agreed with a smile: "The depreciation of the legal currency in the past few years has been a bit harsh. Although the warlords in northern Myanmar are not very educated, they also know the principle of gold preservation."
"Have you had it checked by someone? Is the quality of the gold okay?"
"Having someone check it out, there is no problem with the quality. The purity of this batch of gold is at least two nines."
Zhang Hao asked again: "Where did they get so much gold?"
"We have arrested many warlord leaders. According to their accounts, the gold mainly comes from the Indian peninsula. It is well known that Indians like gold."
"Haha, no one doesn't like gold."
After Zhang Hao finished speaking, he returned the gold bar to its original position with a "ding" sound.
Immediately afterwards, the two walked to a large pile of colorful stones. There were quite a few stones, the big ones were as big as tabletops, and the small ones were smaller than fists.
"If I guess correctly, these are all jadeite stones, right?"
"Yes, these are all seized from jade mines. In recent years, jade has not been sold at high prices, and those warlords have more or less accumulated a batch of rough stones."
Relatively speaking, jade is better than diamonds, especially in the Oriental region, where it represents a culture.
The warlords in northern Myanmar were not stupid. They did not sell jadeite as cabbage. They wanted to wait for the jewelry market to pick up before taking action. However, they did not expect to make wedding dresses for others.
Zhang Hao kicked the rough stone with his foot and asked casually: "Besides the rough stone, is there any finished jadeite?"
"Yes, all the finished jadeite products are here."
Commander Zhu came to a dozen large boxes and opened five or six boxes in succession. The boxes were full of all kinds of jade jewelry and ornaments, piled together so densely that it was dazzling.
Zhang Hao casually picked up an jade Buddha statue and couldn't help but regretted: "The material is good, it looks like ice, but it's a pity that it can't be sold at a high price."
"Consul, Mayor Feng and I have discussed it and are planning to hold a special sale in Yangon in the next two days to dispose of these rough jadeite stones and finished products at low prices as soon as possible.
If you have favorite jadeite here, you can also participate in the exclusive sale and take the lead and demonstrate, as a way of supporting our work."
Commander Zhu took the opportunity to send out an invitation.
The reason why they are so anxious to hold an auction has two main purposes:
Firstly, I want to deal with the seizure as soon as possible to avoid interference by relevant departments; secondly, I can give away part of the profits through the auction. After all, everyone has worked hard for so long and really needs to be rewarded.
Zhang Hao immediately understood the other party's intention and readily agreed on the spot. The reason was very simple. If he did not participate, the people below would never dare to reach out.
Only if he takes it, others will feel at ease.
Half an hour later, when the two of them came out of the warehouse, Commander Zhu directly raised a big problem:
"Consul, in this operation, we have rescued more than 100,000 miners in major mining areas in northern Myanmar. What do you think should be done with these people?"
Zhang Hao thought for a while and immediately said: "Let's dismiss them directly! In addition, we will take out a sum of money from the seizure and compensate each person with 20,000 yuan."
"Uh, this... I'm afraid it's a little difficult."
Commander Zhu hesitated.
"What? You can't afford to pay?"
Zhang Hao frowned.
20,000 per person, 100,000 people is 2 billion. Although this amount of money seems to be a lot, compared to the huge "loot", it is not worth mentioning at all.
"Consul, it's not that I can't bear to part with you, but more than 80% of the 100,000 miners are Indians. I've asked someone to count them. They have no family members in the Indian Peninsula and they don't want to go back at all."
Commander Zhu quickly explained.
Zhang Hao said indifferently: "Since they are unwilling to leave, they might as well settle them in Yangon!"
"Resettlement is easy, but how can we find jobs for so many people? Yangon has a high unemployment rate and cannot accommodate so many new immigrants."
"Commander Zhu, it seems you are very familiar with Yangon!"
Zhang Hao said meaningfully.
Commander Zhu spread his hands and then confessed: "Actually, Mayor Feng asked me to ask. He wants to keep all the miners and reopen the major mining areas in northern Myanmar. This will not only solve the employment problem
, and it can also increase a lot of fiscal revenue.”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhang Hao couldn't help but wonder: "Does Mayor Feng have something to hide? Why don't you tell me in person?"
"Consul, I know Mayor Feng's concerns. Those miners are so miserable, almost no different from slaves. Mayor Feng is probably afraid of getting into trouble, so he deliberately avoids suspicion."
Commander Zhu replied.
"Okay! I agree to this, but let's make it clear first that Myanmar is currently under the direct control of the central government, and slave miners will never be allowed to continue to exist."
"Don't worry, I will tell Mayor Feng seriously." Commander Zhu said solemnly.
Zhang Hao nodded: "Is there anything else?"
"Gone."
"Okay, hurry up and get ready. We'll set off as soon as the sale is over. We've already wasted too much time in Myanmar."
"Yes! Representatives from the Navy Department arrived yesterday, and they will take over the follow-up matters."
"This matter ends here. You don't need to report to me anymore. Please be careful."
Zhang Hao warned again.
Next, Commander Zhu accompanied the consul to the hospital to visit the wounded, and then went to the home of the local police officer who died to express condolences to the family members.
…
At the same time, taking advantage of the weekend vacation, Yang Huaqing had a long talk with her eldest son, and at the same time conveyed her husband's opinion, asking Mitsui Mie to divorce as soon as possible.
After the conversation, Zhang Guoji rushed back to school without any delay, and also had an in-depth exchange with his girlfriend.
"Sister Meihui, I have good news for you. My parents have agreed for us to be together."
Mitsui Mie was surprised and said: "When did you tell your family? Why didn't I know?"
"Ahem, I originally wanted to wait until my father came back before talking, but it's all because of my second brother's foul mouth that the affair between the two of us was directly exposed." Zhang Guoji said depressedly.
"Zhang Guoji, your father really agreed?"
Mitsui Mie said in disbelief.
Happiness comes too suddenly.
Generally speaking, for a wealthy family like the Archon's family, the younger boyfriend happens to be the eldest son. According to the traditional concepts of Eastern people, it is absolutely impossible for a married woman like her to marry the other person.
Zhang Guoji nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, my dad is actually very open-minded and not as stubborn as you think."
"Hey, I'm sorry, that's not what I meant."
Mitsui Mie quickly apologized.
"Sister Meihui, I don't mean to blame you, you don't have to apologize to me." Zhang Guoji waved his hand helplessly.
There was nothing to say about his girlfriend's appearance or personality. The only thing that dissatisfied him was that she paid too much attention to etiquette. Besides, she came from a wealthy family, so she was more particular about it than the average Japanese, and it was harder to change.
"It's my fault for causing you trouble."
Mitsui Mie blushed.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. The most important thing for us now is... to discuss what to do next?" Zhang Guoji quickly changed the subject.
Mihui Mitsui put on a submissive look: "Zhang Guoji, it's up to you to decide! I will listen to you."
"Are you really willing to listen to me?"
Zhang Guoji suddenly became energetic.
"Yes!" Mitsui Mie nodded slightly.
"Okay, tomorrow I will accompany you to find Gu Xiuxian, divorce the marriage first, and then before my father has time to regret it, let's not waste any time, register our marriage immediately, and turn the raw rice into a cooked meal."
Zhang Guoji revealed his plan.
After all, his girlfriend was married for the second time and was several years older than him. He was not sure whether his father would change his mind, so it was better to be safe.
Mitsui Mie was surprised and happy for a moment: "Is this okay? Is it too fast?"
"What I want is a quickie, unless you don't want to marry me, Sister Meihui?" Zhang Hao pressed forward step by step.
"No, it's not like that. Of course I am willing to marry you, but..."
"It's just what? Is there a problem with Gu Xiuxian?" Zhang Guoji asked worriedly.
"No, no..." Mitsui Mie took courage: "Marriage is a big deal after all. I want to ask for my parents' consent. I hope you can understand."
The marriage between her and Goo Soo-hyun was a family marriage, and the two parties had no emotional basis at all. From the beginning, they had made a gentleman's agreement not to interfere with each other's lives.
Moreover, she also heard that Goo Soo-hyun found a second-generation official lover. If it were not for the short marriage period, the two would have divorced last year.
Zhang Guoji nodded and said: "This is what it should be. Am I such an unreliable person? Before I get the certificate, I must visit my uncle and aunt first, and then take you home to meet my mother and grandparents."
While Mitsui Mihui was overjoyed, she soon became a little concerned about gains and losses:
"Ah, by the way, I thought I heard you say before that grandpa doesn't seem to agree with us dating?"
Zhang Guoji quickly comforted him: "It's okay. Grandpa and grandma want to have their grandson now. Let's get married as soon as possible. It's not too late for them to be happy!"
"is that true?"
Mitsui Mie was skeptical.
Her boyfriend's explanation still did not dispel her concerns. Although she had never met her boyfriend's grandfather, she had stayed in the capital for nearly ten years and was very familiar with it. She knew that the older generation generally disliked Japanese people.
This is her biggest worry.
Seeing this, Zhang Guoji pulled his girlfriend into his arms: "Anyway, you can rest assured that I'm here."
"Zhang Guoji, you are so kind to me!"
Mitsui Mie hugged her boyfriend tightly.
Their love reached the depths of their relationship, and the two couldn't help but kiss passionately, and they separated after more than ten minutes.
Zhang Guoji asked casually: "Tell me quickly, what gifts do uncle and aunt like? I'll prepare them in advance in the past two days, so as not to be late."
"There is no need to prepare anything special, just a normal gift will do." Mitsui Mie shook her head.
As for her family's attitude, she had already made up her mind. Her parents would definitely not object, and her grandfather had personally hinted that even being a lover was not a problem.
"This is my first time coming to the door. I must be sincere and don't lose the big for the small. You'd better tell me quickly!" Zhang Guoji patiently advised.
"Okay then!" Mitsui Mihui thought for a while and introduced: "My father likes to drink tea; my mother studied oil painting when she was young; as for my grandfather, he likes to play Go, so just give me a better chessboard."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Tea leaves, oil paintings, Go board, where are the others?" Zhang Guoji silently remembered it in his heart.
Tea and oil paintings are easy to deal with. They have ready-made ones, especially oil paintings, so you can choose whatever you want.
Mitsui Mie shook her head: "No need for others, just pick a gift."
"Okay! Do you have many relatives in your family?"
"A lot, but there are not many who need to visit in person. With my parents and grandfather, ten gifts are enough." Mitsui Mie replied.
The Mitsui family is known as the first family in Japan. It originally had many members, but since the eruption of the Yellowstone volcano, nine out of ten family properties have been reduced, and their control is far less than before. Many branches have taken the opportunity to become independent.
"OK, let's make a deal then. Tomorrow we'll go to Gu Xiuxian for divorce, the day after tomorrow we'll go to your house, the day after tomorrow we'll go back to my house, and the day after tomorrow we'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the certificate."
Zhang Guoji said with finality.
Mitsui Mie reminded with a smile: "It seems that the two of us need to take at least a week's leave."
“It’s a trivial matter to ask for leave!”
"Now it's your turn. I also want to prepare gifts for my uncles, aunts and grandparents."
Zhang Guoji said with a bad smile: "Hey, then you have to be well prepared. Our family doesn't have many other things but a lot of relatives. We have five brothers and sisters. You know this.
In addition, I have three aunts, one uncle, one aunt, ten cousins, and many relatives in my grandparents' generation.
Last year my second brother got married, and I spent several days running away just to see relatives, but we won’t have a wedding for the time being, so my grandparents don’t have to worry too much.”
The wedding will definitely be held after dad comes back!
"Hey, there is indeed a lot. Can you write it down for me in detail? Please!"
Mitsui Mie clasped her hands together and begged.
"This is simple, I will write to you now, and we will discuss in detail what gift to give."
Zhang Guoji smiled and agreed.
After hearing this, Mihui Mitsui immediately stood up from the sofa and went to the study room to get paper and pen.
She couldn't prepare so many gifts by herself, and she didn't have enough time. It seemed that she had to ask for help from her family.
In this way, the two of them spent more than an hour and finally finalized all the gifts.
