"How was the car accident handled?" Qin Fengruo asked thoughtfully after hearing Li Yongqian's words.
"The fault for the car accident was the rear-end collision. The last vehicle bore 70% of the responsibility. The driver of the truck was compensated 200,000 yuan and sentenced to two years."
This incident was obviously widely spread in the Jie area, and Li Yongqian knew a lot about it, so he said: "After the truck driver was released from prison, he went to work at Dou Jianjun's import and export company in Shantou..."
Although Li Yongqian didn't finish his words, everyone understood what he meant. If the car accident had nothing to do with Dou Jianjun, how could he accept such a driver who had had a major accident for no reason?
"This matter should have something to do with Dou Jianjun."
Qin Feng nodded, now is a legal society, and some rules in the world have also changed. It seems that this man named Dou is able to keep pace with the times and knows how to obtain the greatest benefits at the lowest cost.
"Boss Qin, that guy named Zhao won't ask Dou Jianjun to deal with you, right?"
Li Yongqian suddenly thought of the above-mentioned possibility, and he got excited and said: "How about this? Dou Jianjun and I are also distant relatives. Please ask someone to say something to resolve your conflicts..."
They are all Yang beauties, and most families are related by relatives. One of Li Yongqian's distant cousins married a child of Dou Jianjun's aunt's family, so they can have some connections.
Qin Feng waved his hand and said disapprovingly: "No need, in fact there is no contradiction. There are so many unsuccessful transactions in this business field. That boss Zhao is not so stingy, right?"
"Qin Feng, I think you should listen to brother Li. Zhao Fengjian is still very stingy."
Huang Bingyu on the side heard Qin Feng's words and said with a wry smile: "He has a very bad reputation in Los Angeles City. Not only has he harmed customers, he seems to have also threatened people on the street before, but he has no credentials and no evidence. No one can take advantage of him." It’s just a way…”
Zhao Fengjian's bad reputation did not spread in a day. Once upon a time, a southern jade merchant came to Luo City to do business, and somehow he had a conflict with Zhao Fengjian.
Within a few days, the southern businessman quit the shop and went back home, without even refunding the half-year rent he had paid.
According to some people, Zhao Fengjian found someone to threaten the southerner. This is why many people in the jade shop in Luo City are tired of Zhao Fengjian, but they are not willing to provoke him.
"It's okay, Brother Huang. I will return to the capital in a few days. How can I interact with him?" Qin Feng said with a smile: "No matter how powerful he is, can he still go to the capital to cause trouble for me?"
"This is also true. If we can't afford to offend him, we can't afford to hide him?" Huang Bingyu nodded and said, "But Qin Feng, please be careful these days and don't go out at night."
Looking at Huang Bingyu and Li Yongqian who looked worried, Qin Feng shook his head helplessly and said: "I understand, you two can rest assured..."
If Zhao Feng clashes with Qin Feng with swords and guns, Qin Feng may not be familiar with him. If the other party is playing dirty tricks with him, Qin Feng will let Zhao Fengjian know that the muddy waters in the world are not Such a good trip.
"It's almost time..."
Li Yongqian looked at his watch and said, "Let's go to the jade trading place. It shouldn't be a big deal if Boss Dou knows that you are my guests."
As the saying goes, rabbits don't eat grass close to their nests. Everyone in Yangmei knew that Dou Jianjun had a background in crime, but he had never exposed anything and believed that he would not openly deal with Qin Feng.
Being delayed by Zhao Fengjian and the others, they didn't finish the morning tea they had ordered. They got into Li Yongqian's van and drove to Yangmei.
More than twenty minutes later, the car arrived at Yangmei. Li Yongqian pointed to the storefronts on both sides of the road and said, "This is our Yangmei. Most of these storefronts are engaged in jade processing business..."
Yangmei is located to the east of Jie. Although it is only a small village, it is planned like a small town. The roads are spacious and clean.
There are no low-rise bungalows like those in rural areas in the mainland. Instead, every household is built with a small building, which shows the strong economic strength of this village.
The car continued to drive forward, and when it was about to leave Yangmei, Li Yongqian turned the steering wheel and the van turned into a fork in the road. After driving forward another five or six hundred meters, an empty field appeared in front of him.
"Here we are, this is the place where jade is traded."
Li Yongqian stopped the car, pointed to a place in front of him that was surrounded by a wooden fence, and said: "I heard that the war in Myanmar has stopped, the jade market has picked up a little, and the villagers are buying more goods, otherwise I wouldn't be able to bring it in. Yours……"
When Li Yongqian went to Myanmar to gamble on stones last year, a war was still going on there. If he hadn't known some local indigenous warlords in the village, they might have been arrested and held for ransom.
The most intuitive impact of the war on the origin of raw jadeite is that the price of jadeite has soared. Last year, many people could not even buy good products with money. This is why Li Yongqian and others took the risk to go to Myanmar.
However, this year the Myanmar military junta won the war, order in Myanmar was restored, and some anti-government armed forces were driven into the mountains.
The jade trade that had originally been stagnant has also resumed, and a lot of rough stones have flowed into the domestic market, so the price has also dropped. Some people who have been hoarding goods have even sold the rough stones.
Chaoshan people are very united and xenophobic. If the quantity of rough stones is small, they will only trade internally. This year, they have purchased more goods, so they will open the trade to outsiders. However, they still need guarantees from villagers to bring in outsiders. !
"Agan, why are you here?"
When Li Yongqian led Qin Feng and others to the gate, a skinny old man in his sixties or seventies who was guarding the gate looked at Li Yongqian with some dissatisfaction and said, "I told you, kid, stop gambling." Damn it, with such good craftsmanship, what a pity it would be not to run the processing plant properly?"
"Uncle Six, I'm not here to gamble on stones..." Li Yongqian let Qin Feng and others out and said, "These are my friends from the mainland, and I brought them to see the stones.
The old man in front of him was also named Li, so he was Li Yongqian's uncle who had not been in the fifth server. He knew that although his sixth uncle was teaching him a lesson, it was also for his own good.
"There are risks in gambling on stones. How many friends come to Yangmei to gamble on stones? Can they afford the risk?"
After hearing what Li Yongqian said, Uncle Liu turned his attention to Qin Feng and the others and said, "You won the bet because you are lucky. No matter how much money you make, we Yangmei people will not look down upon you."
But if the bet fails, it only means that you are unlucky, and it’s no wonder that we, Yangmei, can’t go around talking bad about us, Yangmei…”
"Old man, don't worry..."
Qin Feng laughed when he heard this and said: "Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth is in heaven. Since it is gambling on stones, who can say that we will win or not lose? We are mentally prepared..."
"You kid, you see things very clearly."
Uncle Six laughed when he heard this, and glanced at Qin Feng a few more times, and then said: "By the way, you have to buy a ticket to enter here. It's one hundred yuan per person. If you want to come in, you can. If you don't want to come in, then stay outside..."
"Do I need to buy a ticket to enter here?"
Looking at the tattered fence, Qin Feng was stunned this time. They were here for consumption, which could bring benefits to Yang Mei. They were not going to visit the scenic spots. Why should they buy tickets?
"Of course I have to buy tickets. If A Gan hadn't brought you here, I wouldn't have let you in even if you were willing to buy tickets..." The old man was very arrogant and looked like he didn't want to get in.
"Just buy the tickets, there are three of us, old man, this is three hundred yuan!" Qin Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head, took out three hundred yuan from his wallet and handed it to the old man.
The old man took the money, looked at Li Yongqian, and said, "Hey, Aqian, you're not going in, are you?"
"People in your own village also need to buy tickets?" Qin Feng was really speechless. He thought that buying tickets was only for outsiders, but he didn't expect that even his own people had to spend money to enter.
The old man nodded seriously and said confidently: "As long as you come here, whether you are betting on stones or watching the excitement, everyone has to buy a ticket. This venue was built in the village. If you want to use it, of course you have to spend money. Yes, this is called venue fee..."
"Venue fees?"
Qin Feng's eyes were a little straightened. He had only heard that people who bought things had to pay venue fees. This was the first time he heard about it. After all, he was at the forefront of reform and opening up. This old man's economic awareness It's definitely not that strong.
"Yes, this is Mr. Li's ticket money..."
On someone else's territory, Qin Feng didn't think of any dispute, so he took out another hundred yuan and handed it over, saying, "Uncle Six, do you have a ticket?"
"I have tickets, here they are for you!"
Uncle Six took off a seal from around his neck, faced a stack of white paper on the table, stamped it with a bang, and said: "With this ticket, you can use it to enter and leave in the next few days." ··…”
"This... the cost is really low." Qin Feng was a little dumbfounded. He picked up the piece of paper and looked at it. There were clearly the words "Yangmei Village Committee" on it.
"Okay, let's all go in!"
After stamping, Uncle Liu looked at the several hundred yuan given by Qin Feng towards the sun, then waved his hand and said: "Come to me if you want to transfer money later. If it is a check, there will be an additional charge of 10% of the transfer amount." There is a handling fee, the price is clearly marked, I am not trying to deceive you kids."
"Is this really asking for money?" After hearing the words coming from behind, Qin Feng, who had just walked into the fence, stumbled and almost fell down.
"Uncle Six, don't worry, we will follow the rules..." Li Yongqian was afraid that Uncle Six would hear Qin Feng's words, so he quickly agreed and pulled a few people away from the door.
"Boss Li, what does this Uncle Six do? Why do you have to buy a ticket to enter the trading venue and pay a handling fee?"
Zhu Kai looked back curiously. Why did he feel that this old man was like a road bully from Henan Province, who would rob anyone who came in? Didn't he hear that there was a handling fee for paying by check?
"Uncle Six is the old village chief of Yangmei. He is very popular and everyone in the village obeys him."
Li Yongqian saw the puzzled looks on several people's faces and said, "Uncle Liu collected this money not for his own use. All the ticket money and transaction fees will be used for the children in the village. If anyone passes the exam, The university also provides money from this..."
It can be seen that Li Yongqian is not opposed to the practice of collecting handling fees, because it is something that benefits the villagers, so even if the old man is standing there alone, even if Dou Jianjun comes, he must abide by the rules.
This place was not built temporarily. After entering, Qin Feng discovered that there were vertical ceilings built with wood, and jadeite stones of different sizes were placed under those sheds.
