After the public sale was over, the number of bosses who came forward to chat with Chen Ran obviously increased a lot. At this time, they no longer tried to hide things. They all directly asked Chen Ran about his plans for processing the wool in his hands.
Chen Ran no longer hid it from them and told them bluntly that he had acquired Jin Yuxuan Jewelry Company.
The bosses who came to talk to him were obviously caught off guard by the news he released. Jin Yuxuan did not send anyone for this public sale. Everyone has been speculating. It is not that everyone has not thought about whether someone acquired Jin Yuxuan.
, but judging from the situation of the Lin family, even if someone acquires it, it should still be in the negotiation stage now.
No one expected that Jin Yuxuan had been acquired by someone else. The acquirer was none other than Chen Ran, who had made a lot of noise in the public market.
I thought that Chen Ran just wanted to "make a lot of money" by hoarding goods in the wool market, but now it seems that things are not that simple. Chen Ran put up such a big battle in the public market, and now he has acquired Jin Yuxuan.
, this is obviously an attempt to enter the jewelry market.
Seeing that the princelings mainly in Guangdong want to control the jewelry market, could it be that the third generation of red people in the capital are also unable to sit still? They also want to take the opportunity to make a profit in the jewelry market?
…
Obviously, when the bosses who were chatting with Chen Ran heard the news, they subconsciously thought of the person standing behind Chen Ran.
This can't be blamed on them. After all, Chen Ran appeared too suddenly. I had never heard of this person before. It was as if he appeared out of nowhere. In addition, Chen Ran was so young and had so much money.
.
As for why they implicated Chen Ran and the third generation of red people in Beijing, it was because they had somehow found out that Chen Ran seemed to be related to the Beijing Club. Where was the Beijing Club? That was the base of the third generation of red people in Beijing.
…
Chen Ran did not directly reject the desire of the bosses who came to talk to him about the jade supply he had, but each one left room for cooperation.
Although these bosses did not respond to him on the spot, he believed that at a certain time they would come to seek cooperation.
After Chen Ran left the venue, almost all the bosses who came to participate in the public sale knew that Jin Yuxuan had been acquired by him...
…
After leaving the venue, Chen Ran and his group went to eat. The place to eat was still the same place, but there were more people such as Chang Fatty, Old Yan, Zhao Guosheng and others. Zhu Feng did not invite everyone to eat these two days. Chang Fatty, Old Yan
Huang Shang and others took turns to invite them once. Yesterday, Zhao Guosheng and Boss Liao also had a meal with Chen Ran, so Zhao Guosheng invited Chen Ran and others back today.
It was quite lively due to the large number of people. Naturally, what everyone talked about at the dinner table was business matters. After dinner, the group of people discussed it and parted ways for the time being. Zhu Feng had already gone to Wacheng and would no longer follow Chen Ran.
Yes, there was an open-bid auction in the afternoon and he happened to stay to participate in it. By the way, he also had to take care of the wool they had taken before.
The woolen materials photographed during the public auction can be taken away on the spot after the payment is made, or they can remain in the warehouse of the organizing committee until the public auction is over and handed over to the transportation company for direct transportation. Photographed by Chen Ran, Zhu Feng, Wu Laosan and others
The materials were not taken out on the spot or left in the original warehouse. Instead, the organizing committee rented another warehouse.
Directly renting a warehouse is not a privilege that only Chen Ran and his team have. Any company participating in the public offering has such a privilege. For a rented warehouse, you can ask the organizing committee to provide armed protection, you can also send guards for protection or hire a mercenary group.
For protection, there were still a lot of mercenaries staying in Naypyitaw during the public sale. The warehouse rented by Chen Ran and the other two people not only had the armed protection of the organizing committee, but also the mine protection team of Qinglong and the transportation company that had signed the contract.
The guards were sent to protect him, and Zhu Feng also sent close bodyguards to guard there.
Although only Chen Ran and Wu Laosan went to the mining area in the end, the battle between the two was not small. First of all, the two bodyguards Feng Xianjun, Han Yuchun and Xiaohei must follow them. Secondly, not only did they have several bodyguards sent by Qinglong to follow them
There are also several Myanmar national security personnel sent by the Myanmar military government to take charge of their safety.
Chen Ran made such a big splash in the public market. Apparently, both Qinglong and the Burmese military government had investigated Chen Ran's identity to some extent.
Previously, Qinglong only regarded Chen Ran as a young man who was related to the General Staff. Therefore, although he arranged for his subordinates to greet Chen Ran, he did not take it seriously at all. After giving the instructions, he basically left the matter to him.
Forgot.
Later, when Chen Ran made such a big noise, his subordinates who stayed in Naypyitaw naturally reported the situation to him, and then he started to take Chen Ran seriously.
Qinglong is a non-staff member of the General Staff and naturally has his own connections in the General Staff. After noticing Chen Ran, he easily learned Chen Ran's identity and the person standing behind Chen Ran.
Chen Ran's background obviously shocked him. If Chen Ran was just an ordinary member of the General Staff or just related to the General Staff, he would naturally not have to care. But Chen Ran is the deputy director of the General Staff Office...a deputy director of the General Staff Office.
It was enough for him to treat him with caution, not to mention that behind the deputy director stood General Yang, Chief Feng, and Old General Xia.
He is considered the number one figure in Myanmar, and most of his industry and influence are in Myanmar, but Chen Ran's attempt to punish him is still just a matter of one sentence.
As a result, although he did not immediately come from the Changbang Special Zone to see Chen Ran, he quickly called Chen Ran to apologize for his neglect. Originally, he was planning to rush to Naypyitaw to see Chen Ran.
But Chen Ran refused to let him come because he was participating in the public sale as a jewelry merchant.
The Burmese military government has obviously noticed Chen Ran's identity. Now the Kachin Army, a communist force supported by the US imperialism, is at war with the military government. Whether it is negotiating a peace or continuing the war in the future, the military government obviously urgently needs China's support.
After knowing Chen Ran's identity, they were naturally cautious and enthusiastic towards Chen Ran.
A group of more than a dozen people took a plane directly to Wacheng. The flight from Naypyitaw to Wacheng took less than an hour, which was quite fast.
Wa City, also called Mandalay in written language, is the second largest city in Myanmar. It was a strategic location in ancient times and was also the location of the Royal Palace of Myanmar. Its geographical location is very important. There are many overseas Chinese living here, so you can see it here
to many Chinese compatriots.
Even the current economy of Wa City is mainly controlled by Chinese descendants. Due to its superior geographical location, it has always been a concentrated place for the trading of jade raw materials, finished products, and various gemstones.
Myanmar's local jadeite wool mining companies and major international jewelry companies all have special bases in Wacheng.
Most of the legendary stone gambling stories in the past took place in Wa City, which is a place with a long history and tradition.
When the plane landed, Chen Ran, who was sitting by the window, could easily see the luxurious villas on the outskirts of Wa City. These villas were basically built by wealthy local Chinese who bought land. It can be said that in Myanmar
Apart from members of the military government, the Chinese in Mandalay are the most powerful.
You don’t have to go to other places in Mandalay, but you must go to the ruins of the expeditionary force. Not only do you have to go to Mandalay, basically Chinese people go to this place to worship when they come to Myanmar. It can be said that this is also the place.
It is a spiritual symbol of the Chinese people.
During the Anti-Japanese War, after France accepted Japan's request to stop shipping goods from China to Vietnam, the Japanese army invaded Vietnam and signed a friendship treaty with Thailand, which completely interrupted the Yunnan-Vietnam Line, so the Yunnan-Burma Highway became the only channel to aid China.
In order to defend Burma, China and Britain had planned to establish a military alliance as early as early 1941. China actively prepared and proposed that the Chinese troops enter Burma for defense as soon as possible. After the outbreak of the Pacific War, on December 23, 1941, China and Britain signed the "
Sino-British Agreement on Mutual Defense of the Burma Road", the Sino-British military alliance was formed.
However, because the British army underestimated the strength of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, overestimated themselves, and did not want foreign troops to penetrate deep into their colonies, they repeatedly delayed and blocked the Chinese Expeditionary Force from entering Myanmar. The Chinese Expeditionary Force that was scheduled to enter Myanmar had to stay in China.
The Myanmar border. However, after Japan launched its attack in early January 1942, the British-Burmese army was defeated all the way, and then the Chinese army was hurriedly invited to enter Myanmar to participate in the war. China established the First Route Commander's Headquarters of the Expeditionary Force and went to the battlefield in Myanmar. However,
Because they had lost the opportunity to fight, the battle to defend Burma failed. This was mainly due to the British extreme insistence on the established strategy of first Europe and then Asia. Once the war situation was unfavorable, they completely lost interest in defending Burma and repeatedly retreated, leaving the Chinese Expeditionary Force to defend Burma.
The battle in Burma became a battle to cover the retreat of the British army.
However, the Chinese Expeditionary Force still made achievements that were admired by the British and American allies, and achieved certain strategic goals. From March 1942, when the Chinese Expeditionary Force began fighting the Japanese army, to the early August when the Chinese and British coalition forces withdrew from Burma, it took half a year.
, fought for more than 1,500 kilometers, fought bloody battles, and repeatedly defeated the enemy, causing the Japanese army to suffer a rare heavy blow since the Pacific War. It provided strong support to the British and Burmese troops many times, and won the defense battle of Tonggu, the blocking battle of Siwa, and the Japanese army.
Victories include the Anqiang siege relief battle and the Taunggyi recapture battle.
Although the final result of the Battle of Mandalay was a complete defeat, many fighting heroes emerged, such as the Chinese general Sun Liren who annihilated the most Japanese troops. The most admirable thing is his attitude towards Japanese prisoners. Anyone stained with Chinese blood
The Japanese were all killed, which made several people feel excited every time they thought about it; and the Dongwu battlefield where Dai Anlan, the commander of the 200th Division who died in the breakout, once fought.
Several of the expeditionary force TV series currently filmed are basically based on the 200 Division.
Since it happened to be during the National Day, the several battlefield relics left by the Anti-Japanese War were almost overcrowded. Naturally, most of the people who came to these places were Chinese. Chen Ran also met many "acquaintances" who had met at the fair.
"Although these "acquaintances" basically didn't talk to Chen Ran at the public sale, they all greeted Chen Ran when they saw Chen Ran here, so that those who didn't go to the public sale just came to Myanmar.
Chinese tourists traveling there all asked about Chen Ran's identity.
In the mutual praise, Chen Ran's name soon spread among tourists...
Although no one knows each other, being in such a scene undoubtedly makes people feel an inexplicable sense of intimacy and national pride.
But this feeling disappeared when we arrived at the Martyrs Cemetery.
Compared with those battlefield relics that are used to commemorate the deeds of the past or tourist attractions for entertainment, there are undoubtedly much fewer tourists at the cemetery. There are only some scattered figures paying homage to those who participated in the expedition.
The tombstones of our ancestors. When we got to the unnamed tombstone, we saw an old and desolate old man sitting next to an unnamed tombstone. He put his hand on the tombstone and stroked it back and forth while he kept saying, "Little Japan was driven out."
China,” “Little Japan surrendered,” “New China was founded,” “We people have lived a good life,” “Our country has become stronger, and no one dares to bully us anymore,” and the like.
Just talking, the other party suddenly burst into tears like a child with a face full of grievance: "But we can never go back! We are not fighting for Chiang Kai-shek, not for the Kuomintang, but for the Chinese people.
We ordinary people were beaten, but why couldn’t we even return home in the end? Are we wrong?"
…
Along the way, Chen Ran didn't speak. Except for a subordinate sent by Qinglong who said, "It's not that he can't go home, it's that he has no home to go back to." Everyone else was also silent.
Of course, the reason why Qinglong's men and the Myanmar National Security personnel were silent was not... they were just silent because Chen Ran was silent. They had seen such scenes and people in Myanmar too many times, and they had long been accustomed to it.
…
Myanmar’s jadeite mining area is located in the Myitkyina region in the north, at the junction of Yushitian Province in the west of Kachin State, that is, extending from the northeast to the south-west along the upper reaches of the Wulong River to the middle reaches, with a length of about 250km and a width of about 10-15km.
More than 3000k㎡.
After hundreds of years of mining, jade mining areas are densely covered in this mining area of about 3000km2. Due to the abandonment of the old and the creation of new ones, there are too many new and old pits, large and small, to count.
Generally, when people talk about jade mining areas and jade sources, the first thing that comes to mind is Pagan.
Hpakant is the first place in the world where jade was discovered. It is also the origin of jadeite with the largest output and the best quality in Myanmar. Therefore, for jade lovers, merchants and players, Hpakant is a holy land in their hearts, which is like Islam.
Mecca in the hearts of Christians is as sacred as the Vatican in the hearts of Christians.
When you arrive in Myanmar, it would be a pity not to go to Hpakant.
When Chen Ran wanted to go to the mining area to see the mining of raw stones, his first choice was to go to Hpakant. However, Chen Ran did not choose to go to Hpakant. It was not because the military government was at war with the Kachin Army, nor because of the troublesome procedures to go to Hpakant, but because Chen Ran did not choose to go to Hpakant.
Ran's real purpose is not to go to the mining area to see rough stone mining.
