The emergence of Ningyuan Group did not cause much of a sensation in Hong Kong in 1975. After all, there were too many newly registered or canceled companies here every day. However, by the time Ningyuan Group and several large European and American companies made several
After the single large-scale oil and iron ore business, it immediately caused an uproar in the international mineral resources industry. Many international colleagues were curious about where this dragon came from. After all, it is not only the strength that can do the mineral resources business.
and background issues.
However, the fact that Mengyuan Jewelry has quickly occupied the jewelry market in Hong Kong Island and Southeast Asia is relatively insignificant, but it may make ordinary people and the media in Hong Kong Island feel more shocked and stunned. After all, this is something they are exposed to every day.
This is my personal experience, especially the fact that the four jewelry companies in Hong Kong, Chow Sang Sang, Chow Tai Fook, Levi's and Tse Sui-lin, which dominated the gold jewelry industry in the 1970s, immediately saw their turnover halved.
"Sheng Chen, are you, Levi's, having a hard time recently?" Zhou Zhiyuan, the owner of Chow Tai Fook Jewelry, looked meaningfully at the owner of Levi's Jewelry in front of him and asked.
"Zhou Sheng, why do you ask knowingly? The strong entry of Mengyuan Jewelry has made the entire jewelry industry in Hong Kong full of troubles." Levi's boss retorted with a depressed face. Their life has been very difficult recently.
"Sheng Chen, not only is our jewelry industry in Hong Kong full of troubles, Mengyuan Jewelry has entered the Southeast Asian market. The recent news coming back from Malaysia and Star City is also very bad. The price of Mengyuan Jewelry is really too low, as if they
The raw materials are free of charge." Zhou Zhiyuan shook his head with a wry smile, and then introduced the situation in Southeast Asia gloomily.
"Yes! We at Levis Jewelry are mainly engaged in the diamond industry, but we have never heard of where Mengyuan Jewelry obtains the raw diamond supply chain? And the jade products of their Mengyuan Jewelry are also sky-high. What do you think?
Could it be those three people from Myanmar named Li who are trying to fly planes with us?"
"Probably not! Recently, the country has been reducing its support for the People's Army, and their life in northern Myanmar is also very difficult. It is impossible to do such a scapegoat at this time. It is not in their interests at all." Zhou Zhiyuan shook his head disapprovingly.
He shook his head, thinking that these people in northern Myanmar would be so stupid.
"Hey! This is fucking weird. Almost all jadeite in the world comes from Myanmar, and the jadeite mines in Myanmar are in the hands of people in northern Myanmar. Where did you find the source of this Mengyuan jewelry?"
"Chen Sheng, Mengyuan Jewelry is a branch of Ningyuan Group, right?" Then Zhou Zhiyuan asked again knowingly.
"Yes! Ningyuan Group is also a newly registered company, and I heard that it has just made several big deals with several oil companies in Europe and the United States. I don't know how they fell in love with a small business like the jewelry industry."
"Chen Sheng, the current situation clearly shows that Mengyuan Jewelry or Ningyuan Group has mastered new sources of jadeite raw materials, so it is better to let the three people named Li in Myanmar deal with this matter."
"That's right! Although these three people surnamed Li are all fucking local leopards, they do have a good time in Myanmar, so let's leave this matter to them."
The people who controlled the jade industry in Hong Kong in the 1960s and 1970s were three Yunnan-born Chinese named Li, so they were the ones who had the biggest headache with Mengyuan Jewelry at this time, because they found that the emergence of Mengyuan Jewelry had made the jadeite stones in their hands worse.
The so-called rough jadeite trading market on Hong Kong Island is also very cold. However, they did not listen to the urging of these Hong Kong Island jewelers because they were worried that behind the Mengyuan Jewelry might be Yangon, their sworn enemy of the Northern Myanmar People’s Army.
government forces, so they had to immediately notify the Northern Myanmar People's Army of the events in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia.
"Jiang Zhiming, a batch of jadeite rough stones of unknown origin have recently appeared in Hong Kong. San Li in Hong Kong suspects that it was caused by the Yangon government army, so the headquarters is going to send you to Hong Kong to investigate." The hidden garrison of the People's Army in northern Myanmar
In his humble office, a leader of the People's Army found Jiang Zhiming, deputy chief of staff of the Third Brigade.
"Yes! Leader, promise to complete the task." Jiang Zhiming immediately gave a military salute to the leader in front of him. As an educated youth in Yunnan, Jiang Zhiming was already accustomed to his current life.
"Well, the background of Mengyuan Jewelry and the Ningyuan Group is very mysterious. This is all the information that our Northern Myanmar People's Army can investigate. Take it back and get familiar with it as soon as possible. It is best not to conflict when you come into contact with them. After all, it is unknown.
The famous enemy is often the most terrifying." Then the leader took out a simple document and handed it to Jiang Zhiming in front of him.
"Yes! Leader."
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Zhiming left the leader's office with simple information, and this so-called office was just a traditional Burmese wooden house deep in the mountains. Just because the recent attacks by the Yangon government army on their northern Burmese People's Army were too severe.
The violence was so violent that all the government departments of the People's Army in northern Myanmar had to hide in the ravines. Therefore, they in northern Myanmar could not lose the source of money from jadeite rough stones, otherwise the entire People's Army in northern Myanmar would directly be on the verge of collapse.
Jiang Zhiming had just left the leader's simple office and couldn't wait to open this information. However, he found that this so-called information was also very crude. There was no detailed information that he needed. It seems that Ningyuan Group and Mengyuan
The appearance of the jewelry caught them off guard in northern Myanmar, or it could be said that the Ningyuan Group and Mengyuan Jewelry were too mysterious.
"Sun Shaoan? Suning? From northern Shaanxi? It seems that the next thing is getting more and more interesting."
…
Suning immediately started to change his name after coming to Hong Kong, but he did not think that such behavior could hide everyone. He believed that some organizations with deep backgrounds could still find out his information. As expected, the largest supplier of jadeite rough stones, the people of northern Myanmar
Jun soon took the initiative to come to the door, and they happened to be the super fat fish that Suning had been waiting for.
"Sun Sheng, it's a pleasure to meet you. I am Jiang Zhiming from northern Myanmar. I am currently the deputy chief of staff of the Third Brigade of the People's Army of northern Myanmar." Jiang Zhiming smiled as soon as he came up and extended his right hand to Suning. Suning's image
It is in line with Jiang Zhiming’s impression of men in northern Shaanxi.
"Hello, Mr. Jiang! My name is Suning now." While shaking hands with Jiang Zhiming, Suning specifically corrected Jiang Zhiming.
"Haha, Su Sheng, I heard that you are an authentic native of northern Shaanxi, and your hometown is Yuanxi County in northern Shaanxi?" At this time, Jiang Zhiming smiled nonchalantly, and then wanted to set up a routine to meet fellow villagers.
affection.
"Sheng Jiang, if you have any questions, just tell me directly. There is no need to talk in circles with me here. Besides, our Ningyuan Group is in business and is not interested in the affairs of your Northern Myanmar People's Army and Yangon Government Army."
"Huh? Su Sheng, you have just come to Hong Kong from northern Shaanxi, how come you are not sensitive to politics?" At this time, Jiang Zhiming was a little confused. In his impression, all Chinese people are passionate about politics.
Political.
"Sheng Jiang, then let me review it with you again. Our Ningyuan Group is not involved in politics, does not adhere to any doctrine, and does not involve any illegal or disciplinary matters. It is just a legally operating group company."
"this……"
"What? Jiang Sheng, the creed of our Ningyuan Group makes it difficult for you?"
"Haha, that's not true! It's just that some of the feelings are too incredible. Why can't we talk about doctrine as a human being?"
"..." At this time, Suning also realized that the generation gap between himself and these seniors was very large, and many times it was an embarrassing situation where they were talking to each other.
"Su Sheng, let me tell you frankly, I am here to discuss cooperation with your company."
"Oh? Mr. Jiang, please tell me."
"As we all know, the main jade mines in Myanmar are in the hands of our People's Army. As long as you Ningyuan Group and Mengyuan Jewelry cooperate with our People's Army, we guarantee that the price will be more favorable than what the government army gives you." The people of northern Myanmar at this time.
Jun and Jiang Zhiming have determined that the Ningyuan Group has business dealings with the Yangon government army.
"Haha, Mr. Jiang, are you so sure that our jadeite raw materials come from Yangon government troops?"
"Eh? Isn't it?" Jiang Zhiming looked at Suning and asked in return.
"Sheng Jiang, our Ningyuan Group is open to do business, and there is no reason to refuse your active cooperation from the People's Army of Northern Myanmar. However, judging from the complex situation of Myanmar, the space for cooperation between the two parties is not particularly large." Next.
Suning did not introduce anything to Jiang Zhiming. Instead, he started to talk about the cooperation between the two parties directly.
"This..." Suning brought a lot of surprise to Jiang Zhiming today, and he suddenly realized that the initiative had always been in Suning's hands.
"Sheng Jiang, I have two cooperation plans here. You can go back and think about them carefully."
"Su Sheng, please speak." Jiang Zhiming forced himself to deal with his discomfort with the pace of negotiations, and then looked at Suning in front of him with a smile and waited.
"The first method of cooperation is for our Ningyuan Group to contract all the jadeite rough production in the hands of the Northern Myanmar People's Army. Your People's Army cannot sell it to other companies or individuals. Every time your People's Army needs to transport jadeite rough to Hong Kong Island, every time
When trading a batch of jadeite rough stones, a payment will be made at the same time.”
"Ah..." At this time, Jiang Zhiming's first consideration was the issue of transportation costs. This responsibility of transportation was simply not something that the People's Army could do.
"The second way of cooperation is that our Ningyuan Group directly buys all the jadeite rough mines in the hands of the People's Army of Northern Myanmar, and then our Ningyuan Group develops and transports them by ourselves. You, the People's Army of Northern Myanmar, are not allowed to have any interference in our mining and operations.
.”
"Su Sheng, if our People's Army sells minerals directly, will your Ningyuan Group also deliver in cash?" Jiang Zhiming then looked at Suning impatiently and asked, because the People's Army of Northern Myanmar really needs funding sources.
"Of course! But we want the ownership and mining and operation rights of all jade mines, and our Ningyuan Group also needs to send a large number of security personnel into the mines to protect our own rights and interests."
"Eh? Su Sheng, our Northern Myanmar People's Army is still very powerful. With the protection of our People's Army, you don't need to worry about anything." At this time, Jiang Zhiming actually looked down upon the security personnel Suning said.
The security personnel he thought were just fake guards who guarded the courtyard.
"Sheng Jiang, our Ningyuan Group has no concern for the affairs between your People's Army and the government army, and we are not willing to have too many non-profit contacts with your People's Army. Naturally, we do not need the protection of your People's Army."
At this moment, Suning's refusal was very straightforward, meaning that the two parties did not have any relationship other than business.
"Su Sheng, this..." Jiang Zhiming did not expect that Suning would be so disgusted with the People's Army of Northern Myanmar, or that he would deeply reject them as a whole in Myanmar.
"Sheng Jiang, you, the People's Army of Northern Myanmar, can slowly consider the matter of cooperation. In fact, you don't need to respond too hastily to us." At this time, Suning did have a mentality of sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai. His bait was for their people.
It is a professional bait specially made by the army. I don’t believe that the People’s Army can resist the temptation of their own bait.
"Su Sheng, thank you! Thank you for your company! Our People's Army will definitely reply to you as soon as possible."
"Then our Ningyuan Group will wait for good news."
…
To be honest, the Northern Myanmar People's Army has gradually lost the initiative at this time. Big Brother has continuously reduced its support to them in recent years. People with insight believe that the complete cutoff of support will soon come, so
The Northern Myanmar People's Army is considering new ways to make money every day, and even has the idea of learning from the Golden Triangle to sell contraband. Naturally, they chose the second method of cooperation between the Ningyuan Group and the Ningyuan Group without hesitation.
Although the conditions and requirements of the Ningyuan Group are relatively harsh, they can indeed solve the urgent problems of the People's Army of Northern Myanmar. If there is no large sum of money coming in, they may not be able to withstand the Yangon government army's strong attack.
Therefore, with no escape route, the senior officials of the Northern Myanmar People's Army unanimously approved the transaction with the Ningyuan Group, and Jiang Zhiming brought a senior executive of the Northern Myanmar People's Army to Hong Kong again to sign a formal transaction contract with Suning.
"Su Sheng, the situation in northern Myanmar is very complicated. Our People's Army is worried that the security personnel of your Ningyuan Army will have some difficulties, so our People's Army is willing to provide protection services to your Ningyuan Group's properties in northern Myanmar, and your Ningyuan Group only needs
Just pay extra." Seeing that Ningyuan Group signed the contract so neatly and readily paid 30% of the down payment, U Nu, the head of the Northern Myanmar People's Army at this time, actually regarded Suning as a dog.
Big house.
"Thank you Mr. Wu Nu for your kindness. Our Ningyuan Group has a strong security force and will also accept mercenary business internationally, so there is nothing that you are worried about Mr. Wu Nu." At this time, Suning was on the contrary.
He suppressed a smile and refused.
"oh?"
"Mr. Wu Nu, in addition, the security personnel of our Ningyuan Group will take a flight to the jade mining area in northern Myanmar through Bangkok Airport. I guess there should be an airstrip there with the People's Army in northern Myanmar, right?"
"Ah? There is an airstrip! But how many security personnel does your Ningyuan Group plan to send?"
"Five thousand."
"What? So many security personnel?" Wu Nu and Jiang Zhiming immediately opened their eyes in shock, realizing that the Ningyuan Group might really be professional.
"Mr. U Nu, the main reason is that your situation in Myanmar is so special. We must invest heavily in security, otherwise all business operations will be castles in the air and short-lived."
"..." At this time, Wu Nu, the important person in charge of the Northern Myanmar People's Army, was really shocked. Jiang Zhiming, who was silent on the side, was not much better. They all realized that the Ningyuan Group was a super giant, "Mr. Su,
Air transportation is still very expensive. How about our People’s Army coordinating with Big Brother and letting your security personnel enter northern Myanmar through domestic routes?”
"Thank you very much, Mr. U Nu. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, security personnel entering Myanmar from domestic routes will not carry any weapons, and all weapons and mining equipment of our Ningyuan Group security personnel will still enter Myanmar by air."
"Okay! Since Mr. Su, you are so sincere, we can actually connect you with the domestic transportation route, so that it will be much more convenient for your Ningyuan Group to transport jadeite rough."
"Thank you Mr. Wu Nu."
"By the way! Mr. Su, how many planes does your Ningyuan Group have?" Wu Nu then asked casually and casually.
"Ten An-22 transport aircraft."
"What?" At this time, Wu Nu and Jiang Zhiming's eyes widened in shock again, and they couldn't help but feel their breathing quicken, and even their voices became trembling for a while.
