Chapter 961: The Jade Pickers of the Jade Dragon River
"Boss, are you here specifically to travel to Yulong River or to buy white jade?" Just as Tang Zheng looked down at the gas station and was winding down Yulong River, a sound was heard beside him.
Get up.
Tang Zheng turned his head and a woman in her thirties stood not far away and spoke to Tang Zheng. She was wearing a bright yellow work suit.
There is also the logo of the gas station on the work clothes. You can see it at a glance that this is the staff of the gas station.
Tang Zheng also laughed and said, "Sister, how do you know we are here to buy white jade?"
Tang Zheng's words made the worker at the gas station laugh. The man in the northwest was straightforward and simple. The woman in the northwest was also generous and unrestrained.
When she laughed, the two pieces of meat balls on her chest also trembled. The woman in the northwest was tall and big, and she lacked the gentleness and tranquility of a woman in Jiangnan; but she had more grandness and boldness.
The loose work clothes could not cover the two huge pieces of meat balls. This made Tang Zheng feel a little shocked. He also muttered in his heart. With this figure, the eldest sister's husband was not trying hard to plow the land that night.
Is it?
At this moment, the woman also replied: "What's there to know about this? Yulong Town, this is the source of the entire Yulong River. White jade, the white jade here has been the best since ancient times. In legend, it is in the depths of this towering Kunlun Mountain.
There is a place where white jade is everywhere in the mountains. With every earthquake or landslide, or mudslide, white jade is mixed in the soil and rolls down with the glacier water, which is why Yulong River and Yulong Town are formed."
Speaking of this, the woman paused and said, "Yulong Town is not a tourist destination. Those who really come here to visit and travel more often go to Alazi Mountain or Algin Mountain. Most of them are concentrated.
Around Hotan, here, except for some backpackers coming, they are almost real jade merchants."
The woman's analysis also surprised Tang Zheng. It turns out that knowledge is knowledge everywhere, and understanding human nature is article. Just an ordinary sister who is cheering at a gas station can tell so many tricks.
Tang Zheng also laughed, and did not deny it or admit it. He looked at the elder sister and said, "Sister, then who do you think we look like?"
The eldest sister looked at Tang Zheng specifically, then looked at the car, and slowly said, "Look, you are here to see Bai Yu. And it's the first time you've been here."
As he said that, the eldest sister took out a business card from her body and handed it to Tang Zheng and said, "Brother, this is the business card of my man. Our ancestors have been here for generations. If you buy jade, you can find him.
Nowadays, Yulong River has no past grand occasions. It is difficult to produce good mutton fat jade here. My man is doing this and will never cheat you guys."
After taking the business card, Tang Zheng also took a look. Ma Yukun, his very ordinary name. The business card reads that it specializes in selling mutton fat jade, Hetian seed material, green jade, topaz and other jade raw materials.
Tang Zheng also understood it a little. No wonder this elder sister is so enthusiastic, and her feelings are setting up business for her.
However, Tang Zheng didn't care. He came here and was unfamiliar with the place. If he had a local person as a guide, it would be much easier to do anything. In professional terms, such a person should be a Yu Broker.
Type.
Brokerage is the same as celebrity agents. Agents push celebrities out, and the role of brokers is the same, and they launch products. There are such brokers in all walks of life, in the origin of major Chinese medicinal materials, and in
Brokerage. In the Myanmar jade production area, Lin Guodong and Kun Bao are both considered as brokers. This kind of thing is not uncommon.
Tang Zheng nodded and said, "Sister, you have such a good eye. Let's call your brother now. We'll have breakfast next to you, and the car parked here. After the brother arrived, he took us to see it directly.
Look. What do you think?"
This is probably not the first time this elder sister has done such a thing. However, Tang Zheng's words also stunned her for a moment. Obviously, she didn't expect that Tang Zheng would be so direct and generous. In the past, she had to wait when she met customers.
After a while, she would look for her after touching the situation by herself, but now, Tang Zheng agreed without considering it at all. Instead, she was a little uncomfortable.
While stunned, the eldest sister 'oh' for a moment, nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, okay. Just listen to the eldest brother. I will call my family here immediately."
The economy of Yulong Town is not very prosperous. The tallest building in the entire town is only five or six floors, with only two streets in total.
The foreign population here is also very sparse. It can be seen that Yulong Town has risen because of white jade and has also declined because of white jade.
White jade is also the nickname of mutton fat jade, an nickname of mutton fat white jade. Outside, people in the world are used to calling it mutton fat jade, but here they like to use the term white jade.
Next to it is a ramen restaurant. Naturally, the ramen restaurant is naturally the most famous trademark hanging. The two words Lanzhou are extremely eye-catching, and there is also the word halal in the middle. Tang Zheng took Yan Hao and the others and each of them ate a bowl.
After the ramen, it was basically past six o'clock in the morning.
At this time, the sky was already bright. There were a lot of pedestrians on the street. Many jade pickers were carrying bags and tools to walk towards the river bank. The jade picking here was completely different from Myanmar.
The mining of the mountains is like digging stones and wool materials. And the jade here is more like picking up.
Even some white jades do not need to be solved at all, and they are directly presented in the valley.
When Tang Zheng took Yan Hao and the others back to the gas station, he saw a dark-skinned man standing next to the elder sister. He was about 1.85 meters tall, with appearance and skin.
He has dark eyebrows and big eyes, and he has a sense of honesty and simplicity.
This is also related to the climate in the northwest region. The sky is high and the clouds are light. UV radiation is relatively strong. The men here basically have this kind of skin.
As Tang Zheng came over, the couple had already come over. The eldest sister said, "Brother, let me introduce you to me. This is the one in my family. This eldest brother came here to buy jade."
Tang Zheng smiled, stretched out his hand, and said, "Brother Ma, introduce yourself. My surname is Tang. This time, I'm going to trouble you."
Ma Yukun also stretched out his hand. When facing Tang Zheng, he seemed more restrained than his wife. His wife couldn't see it, but he could feel it. He drove such a luxury car and such extraordinary appearance. Tang Zheng was definitely not
Ordinary people.
It was not Tang Zheng who deliberately made a big name and pretended to be arrogant. He only introduced his surname. The most important thing is that Tang Zheng's name has at least a little influence. He also avoids trouble by saying this. The popularity of his name is far from the point of view.
A person who is higher than appearance. If you talk about the full name, it will be troublesome once there is any touch. If you are afraid, you are not afraid, but you will not be so free and lively.
"Hello, Boss Tang, hello. Look, are we going to go now? There is not much white jade in Yulong Town now, and there is not much yellow jade. If you really want to see it, you have to go up to more than ten kilometers from here.
That is the main production area." Ma Yukun also introduced with a smile.
Ma Yukun and Tang Zheng took the same car and walked up the Yulong River. After walking about ten kilometers away, there were more people on both sides of the river valley, and there were no longer a few people.
Tang Zheng was also a little surprised at this moment. Going up the Yulong River, there was the towering Kunlun Mountain in the distance. On the top of the mountains and rivers, you could also see white snow. It was a glacier on the mountain.
The Yulong River is formed by converging between these glaciers into a stream.
Between the long river valleys, the river channels seem messy. The spacious river valley has a width of at least several hundred meters.
In the valley, there is a real water flow, which is about ten meters wide. On the other ground, stones are densely distributed. None of these stones are rugged and abrupt, all of them are oval, round, and irregular.
Round stone.
Fortunately, Tang Zheng does not have intensive phobia, otherwise he would definitely be frightened when he saw this situation.
At this moment, thousands of people gathered in just a few hundred meters of distance between the river valleys. These people were all self-conceited. There was no noise or dispute. They were all working in the river valley. They were busy
Some people sat on the stone next to them, prying and digging something.
"Boss Tang, this is the main production area of white jade. Nowadays, the white jade output in Yulong Town has decreased. If it was prosperous in previous years, at least tens of thousands of people would work in this valley." Ma Yukun introduced next to him.
Tang Zheng was also a little surprised and pointed to the river valley and said, "Brother Ma, is the production of white jade this way? Didn't I hear that there are still people going to the mountains to pick jade?"
Ma Yukun then laughed and said, "The real white jade is produced. In fact, this method of picking jade is the oldest and oldest. I heard from the old man that a few thousand years ago, white jade could be seen everywhere on both sides of the Yulong River.
.In recent years, as jade has gradually become rare, many people have begun to take the initiative to go into the mountains to pick jade. However, you also know that Kunlun Mountain is not so easy to walk on. Jade is not easy to transport and export.
Moreover, when you walk up, you will see glaciers, ravines, cliffs, and complex terrain. It is difficult to walk in, let alone pick jade. In other places, it is very common to go into the mountains to pick jade, but there are not many on our side.
”
Looking at the Yulong River, Tang Zheng also had the idea of going down and taking a look. He said to Ma Yukun next to him: "Brother Ma, can I go down and chat with those jade pickers. Go and experience it yourself?"
After he finished speaking, Ma Yukun's face suddenly became a little embarrassed.
