Go back to 1990 to start a business

Pagan.

This is a magical land.

The unique high temperature and pressure at the junction of tectonic plates allows the world's highest quality jadeite to be born here.

For half a century, ethnic minority armed forces have been a concern for the Myanmar government.

The ethnic conflicts in Myanmar are extremely acute because Myanmar has long implemented the policy of giving priority to the Bamar people.

This is not racial discrimination. The Bamar people have no sense of superiority at all. It is just because northern Myanmar is Chinese territory that has been stolen from China. It has been Chinese territory since the Ming Dynasty, and there is no sense of national identity.

Moreover, this country is too poor, so the Bamar people are given priority in resource allocation.

Well, it's a priority.

After all, Bamar people account for 70.00%.

The remaining 30.00% are almost all in northern Myanmar. Do they sound familiar to the Han, Miao, Wa, Dai, Yi, and Benglong ethnic groups?That's right.

Since Myanmar became independent from the British in 1948, dozens of large and small anti-government armed forces have been formed in northern Myanmar.

The most powerful among them is the Wa State Army.

The Burmese soldiers dare to fight the Kachin Army and the Kokang Alliance Army, but they rarely dare to touch the Wa State Army.

The Wa State was ceded to Burma during the Anti-Japanese War (it was a colony at the time, which was equivalent to being ceded to the Eagle State), but they still regarded themselves as Chinese and all spoke Chinese.

Unfortunately, they don't have the ability to do it alone.

The one who dared to do this was Khun Sa, the biggest drug lord. He declared the founding of the country in December 93 and was beaten and surrendered by the Burmese soldiers in 12.

The other group that dares to stand alone is the Kachin Army, so the battle with the Burmese soldiers is in full swing.

The Kachin ethnic group is called the Jingpo ethnic group in China.

Hpakant is within the control of the Kachin Army.

……

Amidst the roar of the jeep, we passed through the muddy mountains and finally saw the huge mining area in front of us.

Zhang Ziqiu looked around and saw piles of piles of abandoned slag. There were countless scavengers, men, women, old and young, all wearing rags and ragged clothes.

She was deeply shocked and murmured: "Aren't these people miners?"

"No. The miners are all underground. They are scavengers. Maybe their family members are miners. With the dream of getting rich, they came from all over Myanmar. There are 30 people scattered among hundreds of mines in Hpakant. "

Xia Chuan's gaze was profound, as if he was seeing a scroll that was hundreds of years old.

At this time, a large dump truck was unloading slag, and the group of people immediately swarmed over, hoping to find the missing jade from the abandoned slag and escape poverty.

The old man was expressionless and the jeep continued to drive forward.

Finally, we saw the huge mine pit that was [-] meters deep.

The messy mining is like a rat hole. Miners in groups of three or three are scattered on platforms of different heights. There is water at the bottom of the pit, but there are tunnels on the surrounding walls that extend to the ground for who knows how far. There is no telling how many holes there are. People wonder if it will collapse when the heavy rain comes, completely burying the dreams of these people.

"This is an old pit that has been mined for at least a hundred years," Xia Chuan said.

The old man stopped the car and murmured: "The magnetic field here is different from other places."

Xia Chuan smiled slightly. This was expected, but of course it was different. This was the junction of continental plates, with high temperature, pressure and humidity. Otherwise, how could jade be produced?

But whether it is useful to the old Taoist or not, it depends on fate, Xia Chuan said:

"Let's go down and take a look. Ziqiu is carrying the bag, don't let anyone take it away."

Ziqiu gave him a blank look: "Sister, give me a backpack?"

"Yeah." After Xia Chuan finished speaking, he picked up his backpack and got out of the car.

Only then did Ziqiu realize that he was asking her to give Lao Tao a backpack.

She picked up another bag, but was shocked: "Why is it so heavy?"

"It's all money, it's much easier, right?" Xia Chuan said with a smile.

Ziqiu immediately put it on his shoulder with a smile on his face: "Oh, how many gifts can I buy with this? It's much easier."

Xia Chuan laughed.

The old man seemed to be in a trance and walked lightly towards the pit.

Ziqiu suddenly understood why he was asked to carry the backpack, and followed behind without saying a word, and signaled Xia Chuan to stop talking.

"Boss, collect the jade." A scavenger ran over.

The old man moved on.Xia Chuan and Ziqiu stopped and looked at the unkempt man.

"How do you know we collect jade?" Ziqiu asked pretending to be mature.

The scavenger was stunned: "Is this your first time here?"

Ziqiu was immediately embarrassed, and Xia Chuan smiled and said, "Do you look like a miner? There are many Chinese businessmen here who collect jade."

The scavenger felt regretful and thought he could make more money by meeting a newbie. He took out a jadeite the size of a thumb cap from his pocket, handed it to Xia Chuan and said, "Authentic imperial green."

Xia Chuan didn't pick it up, and said calmly: "This is blue-green, and it's glutinous rice. It's not valuable."

The scavenger was suddenly confused and asked in confusion: "Even if it's blue and green glutinous rice, it can't be worthless, right?"

"No, I only want the best jade." Xia Chuan continued to move forward.

Ziqiu stayed close to him and whispered: "Brother, I found that you are proficient in all kinds of flying eagles and horses, looking for flowers and willows, and being immoral and smoking."

The corners of Xia Chuan's mouth twitched and he said gently: "Zi Qiu, where did this misunderstanding come from?"

"What a misunderstanding. Yesterday you taught Huang He to gamble. I was very suspicious. Today it was finally confirmed. Where did your experience of lying to women come from? You are a grown man and you know so much about jade. You didn't get it by lying to women. Of?"

Xia Chuan thought for a while, nodded and said, "Indeed."

Ziqiu giggled.Xia Chuan added another sentence: "You are indeed mentally retarded."

Ziqiu was furious and was about to beat him up when Xia Chuan said first, "Don't affect your brother."

She immediately stopped, but said bitterly: "Explain to me clearly, why am I mentally retarded?"

"I told you yesterday to enter the jewelry industry, didn't you hear me?"

"I'm asking you why you know Jade so well!"

"This is basic common sense. You'll understand it after seeing it more often. Isn't it normal?"

"Then why do you see so much?"

Xia Chuan was helpless. How could he talk about the 30 years of accumulation in his previous life? He could only say: "Okay, I am the legendary scumbag."

Ziqiu giggled, jumped for joy, and even comforted:

"But don't be sad, I still admire you for being such a scumbag."

Xia Chuan laughed.

Zi Qiu asked casually: "Why is jade so valuable and these people look so poor?"

"Because the money has flowed into the Kachin army, otherwise what would they use to fight? With poppies, jade, and wood, they have money. These old pits are contracted to jade merchants to mine. This old pit has been mined for five years. The mining rights cost 500 million, and there are hundreds of such mines, and the mining rights will be divided with the Kachin Army," Xia Chuan said.

Ziqiu sighed: "The Kachin Army is the one who really makes money."

Ahead is a shack, with several people standing at the door, guarding the only way into the mining area.

But the old man walked by like air, and these people seemed not to notice.

But when they arrived at Xia Chuan, they were stopped.

"You're from China? Do you want to buy a mine? The procedures are complete. Five-year mining rights only cost 100 million yuan, cash transaction." A cleanly dressed middle-aged man directly blocked Xia Chuan's path.

Ziqiu's eyes widened and he was speechless. Are you a liar?Why is it so cheap?

Xia Chuan's answer made her even more confused. He said calmly: "The Burmese soldiers have already attacked. Isn't your one million too high? One hundred thousand, I bet that the Kachin army can fight back."

The middle-aged man's cheeks twitched, as if he was being boiled in a frying pan, and his eyes turned red:

"One hundred thousand? I might as well bet myself! 50!"
