Chapter five hundred and fifty-eight huge purchases
Chapter 558: Huge Purchase
…In the past, after Myanmar’s most famous jadeite and ruby, sapphire came next. However, unfortunately, Myanmar’s star sapphire is lower in value than Sri Lanka’s sapphire, so although the sapphire in the document this time is nearly 10,000 carats,
But the money spent was only 10 million euros!
In addition, Myanmar also has diamonds. Although the output is not high, due to Liu Dong's request, Vichai Sawang Susi also purchased 3,400 carats for Liu Dong this time, but there are no big diamonds!
In addition to jade and gemstones, Myanmar's high-grade wood is also the object of Liu Dong's covetousness, especially golden camphor and chicken wing wood, which are scarce woods comparable to small-leaf rosewood and huanghuali. Liu Dong wants as much as he can. ↗
Of course, given the rarity of these two types of wood, there are not too many of them even in Myanmar, where they are produced, because they often take hundreds of years to mature, and the demand is too high, so the quantity is even smaller!
Therefore, even though Liu Dong promised to purchase at any cost, the quantity of golden camphor in this transaction was only 215 cubic meters, while the chicken wing wood was slightly more, 347 cubic meters!
There are 1,257 square meters of other red rosewood, 2,113 square meters of black rosewood, and 1,789 square meters of ebony. The largest quantity of teak, known as one of the three treasures of Myanmar, is nearly 5,000 square meters. The total value of all the wood is 50 million euros!
The total value of these purchases exceeds the 100 million US dollars and 50 million Chinese currency deposits that Liu Dong originally promised, but it doesn't matter. As long as the goods are good, it doesn't matter if they are more. Anyway, Liu Dong is now trying to deposit them in the bank.
All the money is spent.
"I've finished reading it. There's no problem. Let's wait until the public sale is over. We'll start trading immediately!" Liu Dong said after closing the information.
Hearing this, Weichai Sawang Susi was relieved in his heart. "Then we have to have a drink!"
"Of course!" After picking up the red wine on the table and touching it with the other party, Liu Dong drank it all in one gulp.
"Okay, now that the serious business is over, it's time to relax! Let's go, brother Liu, today I will show you the nightlife of Yangon! I guarantee you will not be disappointed!"
To be honest, Liu Dong was interested in gems and wood when he came to Myanmar this time, and had no interest in the so-called nightlife. Because no matter in which country, for the rich, nightlife is basically alcohol, women and gambling.
In spite of these two things, Liu Dong had no choice but to go because of Weichai and Sawang Suxi's warm invitation.
After leaving behind three strong men who were still obsessed with martial arts, Liu Dong took the smarter Ma Chao and followed Weichai Sawang Susi out of the hotel.
To be honest, although Yangon is the capital of Myanmar, its architecture is really poor. There are basically no high-rise buildings. The only ones that look decent are temples. They are buildings left over and renovated during the British colonial period, and it has a population of five million.
Yangon is larger than Quancheng, which has a population of nearly seven million. Because there are too many two- and three-story bungalows.
After passing through the streets filled with monks and driving not far out of the city, Vichai Sawangsuthi's vehicle stopped in front of a factory that looked somewhat dilapidated.
As for the car they saw, two Burmese soldiers carrying rifles came out of the door. They checked Vichai Sawangsuthi for something similar to an ID card, and then glanced at Liu Dong and waved behind him.
Waving his hand, the five-meter-long steel gate that was originally closed soon slowly opened to both sides with a hoarse friction sound that made people get goosebumps all over, and then Weichai Sawangsuthi ordered the driver to drive in.
.
Upon entering, Liu Dong unexpectedly discovered that there are many good cars here. Although there are no top sports cars like Bugatti Veyron and Ferrari, there are still quite a few Mercedes-Benz and BMWs, and there are even a few Rolls-Royce!
This situation really surprised Liu Dong.
In his impression, there seemed to be few high-end cars on the streets of Myanmar these days!
Noticing Liu Dong's expression, Wichai Sawang Susi smiled and said: "This is the most famous cozy home in Yangon, especially during the period when the public sale is held. Rich people from all over the world gather here. If you are a regular customer, generally
Everyone will come over to play a few games for fun!"
Hearing this, Liu Dong nodded clearly as he looked at the densely packed cars in the huge square.
After the two put the car away, they took Weichai's two bodyguards and Ma Chao with him, and the group of five people walked towards the huge factory building where the bustle of people could be vaguely heard not far away.
"Brother Dong, there are so many soldiers here!" Ma Chao walked up to Liu Dong's ear and whispered.
Starting from entering the door just now, along the way, although it can't be called one post every three steps or one sentry every five steps, soldiers guarding with guns can be seen everywhere, which made Ma, who was born in the country's peaceful times, never seen such a battle.
Super, I feel a little hairy in my heart.
"Well, be careful here!" Liu Dong ordered. With so many soldiers, even he, who is highly skilled in martial arts, would not dare to force them!
"Brother Liu, don't worry. These soldiers are here to maintain safety. As long as we follow the rules, they won't cause trouble for us!" Vichai Sawangsuthi, who heard the conversation between the two, consoled him.
After nodding, Liu Dong didn't speak. At this time, a group of people also entered the gate. Then they passed through a corridor with flashing neon lights, turned to the right, and pushed open a steel door that was not too thick.
Several people walked in.
When Liu Dong entered the door, he immediately felt the fiery atmosphere. In the large space of more than 2,000 square meters, which was transformed from an old factory workshop, there were a large number of gaming tables and slot machines, including dice, Russian roulette, and gold and silver that are common in casinos.
, stud and other gambling methods are all available, and every gambling table is surrounded by crowds.
As long as they see this scene, anyone will be tempted to gamble, not to mention that Liu Dong and the others are here to do this!
"Let's go, brother Liu, let's exchange some chips!"
Liu Dong nodded. Although he was not obsessed with gambling, it didn't hurt to have some fun here. Soon the two of them exchanged chips for 100,000 euros each!
Because the exchange rate of the kyat fluctuates so much, and the gamblers these days are basically jewelers and stone gamblers coming to Myanmar, the chips in the casino are all in euros.
"You go and have fun too!" Looking at the longing look on Ma Chao's face, he thought that he was quite diligent after busying himself these days, so Liu Dong gave him 20,000 chips.
"No need, Brother Dong...!" Although Ma Chao longed in his heart, he refused with his mouth. He knew that Liu Dong was against his gambling, and the lesson he learned from losing all his family property in the island city was profound enough!
"Take it, this is a reward for your work during this period!" Liu Dong said after putting the chips into Ma Chao's hands.
"Thank you, Brother Dong!" Ma Chao said gratefully.
"Well, let's go play!"
After nodding, Ma Chao ran away with a look of joy on his face.
"Let's go, brother Liu, let's go play some games too!" Weichai Sawang Susi pulled Liu Dong and said.
Liu Dong has no objection to this, but apart from betting on dice and stud, Liu Dong really doesn't know much about other gambling methods, and slot machines and Russian roulette have a relatively large luck component, or they are basically gambling methods that are guaranteed to lose.
Liu Dong is not interested.
So after playing around in the casino with Wichai Sawangsuthi, Liu Dong started playing the game of gold and silver. Liu Dong got started quickly with the card game, but Wichai Sawangsuthi preferred the exciting Russian roulette.
, so after the two of them chose their gambling methods, they separated.
Just like the previous gambling at the Black Tiger Gang and Sihai Gang casinos, in less than half an hour, the chips in Liu Dong's hand had changed from 80,000 euros to 500,000 euros. An hour later, although Liu Dong
He didn't want to attract too much attention, so he lost a few hands in the middle, but the chips in front of his table still increased to 2 million euros.
At this point, Liu Dong knew that he could no longer gamble, otherwise he would lose money in the casino and get into trouble again. He was not afraid at home, but in Myanmar, a country ruled by military personnel, it was better to be careful!
After taking the chips back to the counter and exchanging them for a cash check from HSBC, Liu Dong walked to the rest area next to him and sat down.
"Brother, why are you sitting here?" After losing all the chips in his hand, Weichai. Sawang Susi came over and asked after spotting Liu Dong.
"After playing for a while, I came back without any fun!"
After listening to Liu Dong's words, Weichai Sawang Susi nodded. He thought Liu Dong had also lost all the chips in his hand like him.
"Come on, there are many fun places here, I'll take you there!"
Seeing the enthusiasm on Wichai Sawang Susi's face, Liu Dong didn't refuse. He also wanted to see what the so-called fun things were!
The two stood up and called Ma Chao, who was still lingering at the gambling table. The group walked to the intersection of a steel staircase that twisted downwards and walked down.
Led by the familiar Vichai Sawangsuthi, the group came down the stairs and walked through a wide corridor to the end. After paying the entrance fee of 1,000 euros per person, they pushed through and were guarded by six soldiers.
When they walked in through the door, a wave of sound that was ten times louder than the casino above rushed into the ears of several people.
I saw a high-rise arena of more than a hundred square meters in the center of a space of more than a thousand square meters. The ring was covered with steel. At this moment, two strong men were fighting desperately inside. Watching their mouths and noses bathed in blood, they were making deadly moves.
, and the people around him with bloodshot eyes and hoarse voices, Liu Dong immediately understood what this place was for!
"Black Fist!"
Although Liu Dong had heard of this kind of boxing match that basically had no restrictions, was bloody and cruel, and basically won by killing the opponent, this was the first time he saw it today.
"Hey, Brother Liu, this is exciting!"
Looking at the excited face of Wichai Sawang Susi, Liu Dong frowned without leaving any trace. As a warrior, he was a little disgusted with this kind of boxing match that took the life and death of warriors for fun. However, Liu Dong also knew that he could not change anything.
So I can only choose to accept it.
