He first went to the hotel he had booked to put down his luggage, and then went straight to the largest jade market in Yunnan.
This is not difficult. Yunnan is the birthplace of rough stones, and many people come here to buy jade.
Even ordinary tourists will consider buying jade as a must-experience activity here.
After arriving at the jade market, Zhang Yuan started shopping inside.
"Boss, come and take a look at my place. They are all good and the price is cheap."
Before taking two steps, Zhang Yuan was stopped by an elderly man with narrowed eyes who looked very shrewd.
He took the opportunity to look at the stall next to him, and immediately sneered in his heart. The stall owner seemed to have taken him for granted. There was no good thing in this stall at all.
He picked up a jade bracelet casually and asked.
"how much is this."
The stall owner immediately smiled and said.
"Oh, boss, you have really good eyesight. You must be an expert. This bracelet is the best thing I have. Look at the water head, the color is top-notch."
He gritted his teeth and said with great difficulty
"That's all, it's rare to meet someone as knowledgeable as you, and I can be considered a confidant. This bracelet costs five hundred thousand, go ahead!"
Zhang Yuan was immediately angry and laughed.
This stall owner is really eloquent. If it were someone else who didn't understand, he would really be deceived by him.
It was naturally impossible for Zhang Yuan to do so, so he directly exposed it.
"You are so brave. You dare to sell such a shabby toy for half a million yuan, and you are not afraid of giving birth to a child without a butthole."
The stall owner was slightly startled, and when he caught a glimpse of Zhang Yuan's playful look in his eyes, he immediately realized that he had really met an expert this time.
He wasn't angry either, he came closer and said with a playful smile.
"Boss, keep your voice down. I can't lie to you. Don't ruin my business. If you like this bracelet, just play with it, okay? Think of it as my apology."
Zhang Yuan has a lot of black marks on his head, so he should apologize to such a worthless person. This is really sincere.
Then he shook his head, put down the treasure, and spoke.
"Is there any place for betting on stones here?"
The stall owner was a little surprised when he heard this, looked Zhang Yuan up and down and asked.
"I don't know if you, boss, are looking for a place to gamble on stones. Do you simply want to play and experience it, or do you have the idea of uncovering gems?"
"Isn't this nonsense? If you want to experience something you can't experience, you have to come to Yunnan to experience it."
Zhang Yuan said without curiosity.
The stall owner smiled and said.
"So, you want to find some good stuff from the rough stone."
Zhang Yuan said nothing and nodded.
"Then you've come to the wrong place. I'm afraid there's no place you want to go in Yunnan."
The stall owner said.
Zhang Yuan was stunned, frowned and asked.
"What's the meaning?"
The stall owner immediately explained.
"Here, there are dozens of tons of rough stone, and dozens of tons are sold for takeout. How can anyone sell you a few for you to play with, unless you have a relationship with the owner of the Nake Stone Factory here, but if you have
It’s impossible to find connections here.”
Zhang Yuan asked somewhat unwillingly.
"Then what if I'm willing to pay more for him to sell it to me?"
"No chance."
The stall owner waved his hand and continued.
"There are only two types of people who come here to open stones, one is the real expert, the other is the dumb guy who just got lucky."
"The second type is very rare, because real novices probably don't know the difference between rough stones and rough stones."
"So you said you want to give more money, but how much more can you give? The stone seller let you choose. If you are an expert and pick out all the good ones, his stone will be out.
If you sell it, you won't be able to sell anything, which will also be a loss to the person's reputation."
"There's no need to take that risk."
Zhang Yuan's heart suddenly sank when he heard this.
But he didn't lose heart. If he couldn't find the rough stone, he could just dig the rough stone. After all, this was Yunnan, and there were more stones than other cities. As long as he was willing to be patient and look at it, or at worst, spend more time, he would definitely be able to find it.
Jade.
Having made up his mind, just when he was about to ask the other party to take him to the stone gambling den, the stall owner said with a strange smile.
"If you want good jade, you don't have to look for it in Yunnan. I know a place where it is much easier to find good jade than in Yunnan."
"Where?"
Zhang Yuan said subconsciously.
"Burma City."
The stall owner said with a smile.
Zhang Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly. He had naturally heard of Burma City, which was the largest source of rough stones in the world.
The stall owner continued.
"In Luokan County, Burma City, there are many public sales and private collections. Not only are jade wholesaled, but there are also many stone betting places. If you want to find good jade, which is the most suitable place to go."
Zhang Yuan shook his head when he heard this and did not adopt the other party's suggestion.
"I don't have a passport, so I can't apply for it now. You'd better take me to the stone gambling place in Yunnan."
"I can help you!"
The stall owner spoke immediately. Seeing Zhang Yuan's eyes starting to look strange, he hurriedly explained.
"Don't think too much. The passport I applied for is not a fake passport, it is just a temporary passport. It is absolutely reliable and will be available tomorrow."
Zhang Yuan narrowed his eyes and asked after hearing this.
"Then why do you want to help me?"
"Isn't it that the two of us are destined?"
The stall owner smiled, then rubbed his thumb and index finger on his right hand and said.
"Of course, getting a passport for you is not free, and not everyone can get an expedited passport."
"And I can also be your tour guide. I know Luokan County very well. I know where the best rocks are. Of course, it's not free."
After hearing the second half of this sentence, Zhang Yuan felt relieved, as long as the other party had something up his sleeve.
After all, he was not stupid enough to believe that a person selling fake jade was so kind.
He immediately asked about the price and handed over the money directly. He just noticed that the stall owner was talking to people at other stalls.
So this must be a place where the other party often comes, and we are not afraid that the other party will take his money and run away. If he can escape, the monk will not escape from the temple.
"Thank you, boss. Just call me Shen Qi. Where do you live? I will send your passport to you when it comes tomorrow."
After receiving the money, the man who called himself Shen Qi smiled as brightly as a chrysanthemum.
Zhang Yuan immediately told the other party the address and returned to the hotel to rest.
After thinking about it, he sent a message to Yang Xiaoyun and told him that he was going to Myanmar.
After waiting for a while, there was no reply, and it was getting late, so Zhang Yuan went to bed early.
After all, I have to go to Myanmar City tomorrow, which will definitely be another day of running around. Fortunately, it’s better to recuperate.
Early the next morning, Zhang Yuan woke up and found that he had forgotten to charge his phone last night and his phone was turned off.
