Salted fish amnesia small time pension harvest gold finger

After further investigation, it turned out that it was Huo who did it! He was quite generous, giving Xue Kairui a million dollars just to let him tie him up for a few days.

He hadn’t figured out what Huo Zhensheng was trying to do before, and now he had nothing to understand after seeing Yun Tinglan!

Huo Zhensheng lowered his eyelids calmly, "Boss Xue still has his own ways to deal with his illegitimate brother."

It was a bit of a miscalculation, Xue Kairui was more useless than he expected.

Xue Kaixuan was feeling depressed but couldn't help it. He didn't want to pay attention to him and said to Yun Tinglan, "Miss Hao, do you want to go shopping together?"

"No, I've already turned around. Mr. Xue, please go and get busy!" She had already seen all the materials she liked and really didn't want to go out in the sun again.

Xue Kaixuan felt a little regretful, but did not force it. Instead, he said, "This year's materials are 50% less than last year. The red labels have been changed to yellow labels. High-quality goods are becoming less and less. If Miss Hao is into jadeite, she should take the opportunity to bid more and stock up."

This time, Xue specially sent a team of 18 people, including three senior experts. Each of them will lead a small team and carry out the task of studying the materials, estimating the prices and bidding.

Given the current scarcity of jade resources, its price will continue to rise, so we still need to stockpile more good materials.

This is different from the fact that gemstones are widely recognized by the public internationally.

In China's jewelry market, the sales of jadeite far exceed those of gemstones. Most of Xue's sales in China are supported by jadeite, so they cannot ignore it.

"Thank you Mr. Xue for the reminder." But Yun Tinglan herself is not averse to Vietnamese and Russian materials. In her opinion, as long as the quality is good, it is acceptable.

Of course, when communicating with customers, she will explain their respective advantages and disadvantages and respect the customers on how to make the choice.

Her treasure collection includes but is not limited to jade, rubies, sapphires, diamonds and other precious gems. She also has some semi-precious gems and pearls.

The profits of branded jewelry are certainly attractive, but they rely more on brand premiums, selling cultural symbols and consumers' social recognition. Consumers buy symbols of status and a kind of psychological satisfaction.

These are not something Yunbaozhai can catch up with in the short term, so it can only find another way, such as the selling points of filigree inlay, unique personalized design, and the collision of traditional culture and fashion.

And a great value for money experience.

The positioning is different and the focus is also different.

The corners of Huo Zhensheng's mouth rose slightly, and even Special Assistant Liu wouldn't have missed it if he hadn't been so sharp-eyed.

Special Assistant Liu pushed the ice water in front of Huo Zhensheng attentively. Huo Zhensheng glanced at him, replaced it with a bottle of room temperature water and handed it to Yun Tinglan.

Yun Tinglan took it and took a sip, which made her throat feel better. "Brother, do you have any jewelry you want to auction?"

If not, why not go home?

The bidding for the stones she wanted to bid on would not be opened until the day after tomorrow, so she came today to test the waters.

"No, let's go back." Huo Zhensheng just wanted to accompany Yun Tinglan. He himself preferred Hetian jade. The lily of the valley hairpin he gave to Yun Tinglan was carved from the mutton-fat white jade he found.

There are talismans on it for praying for blessings and warding off disasters.

In the car, Huo Zhensheng rarely took the initiative to speak, "Do you want to go to the mining area to take a look?"

"Forget it, northern Myanmar is too chaotic." Yun Tinglan was tempted but still shook her head and asked: "Can we go to the mine owner's home or company to have a look?" This can also be considered the source. There must be more high-quality goods than in China, and the price can be reduced.

"Okay, let's go to Mandalay in the afternoon." His original destination was Mandalay, but because Yun Tinglan wanted to participate in the jadeite auction, he changed it to Naypyidaw.

At Mandalay Airport, as soon as they got off the plane, an exotic beauty with a hot body and sexy clothes came to greet them.

Yun Tinglan glanced at Huo Zhensheng, but Huo Zhensheng looked at Assistant Liu with a dark face. Assistant Liu felt that he was more wronged than Dou E. Was he a fool? He knew his boss's thoughts, but he was still stupid enough to make such an arrangement.

After the beauty introduced herself in broken Chinese, we found out that she was Mr. Zhao's youngest daughter. However, judging by her enthusiasm towards Huo Zhensheng, I was afraid that he had other intentions.

Yun Tinglan didn't have any ideas. She said to let things take their own course and then get along naturally. What kind of person she really is and what kind of person he is, the details over time will reveal a person's character.

Time is the best filter, just walk and see.

She lazily got into the car prepared by Special Assistant Liu, as if nothing had happened.

Not to mention that the two of them had no official relationship, even if they did, she was impatient to deal with all the beautiful girls who came to her. The root of the problem was the man. If he couldn't handle such a small matter, what was the point of getting along with him?

The salted fish principle is to not force anything unless it touches the bottom line of interests.

Just as I sat down, Huo Zhensheng also came in.

Special Assistant Liu was left to deal with Zhao Lan, weak, helpless and pitiful. He wasted several minutes talking and gesturing through the translator before he finally sent the person away.

Yun Tinglan thought they would stay in a hotel, but unexpectedly they went to a private house.

The buildings here are somewhat run-down, like some old, small county towns in China. Many intersections don't even have traffic lights.

It is hard to imagine that Myanmar, a country rich in all kinds of jewels and jades, has its second largest city so dilapidated.

The general environment is comparable to the war-torn period of the Republic of China, with warlords everywhere and a huge gap between the rich and the poor.

They stopped in front of a five-story building that looked pretty good. There were several circles of spiked electric fences installed on the walls of the courtyard. They looked quite new and had been installed only recently.

It was Wang Wei who opened the door. Yun Tinglan was stunned when she saw the scene in the yard.

My goodness, the yard is full of people, it’s dark and dense. The yard, which was originally spacious, now seems particularly cramped.

This is?

Yun Tinglan looked at Huo Zhensheng with inquiring eyes.

She thought Huo Zhensheng brought a dozen bodyguards to protect him, but she didn't expect that he brought more than 300? !

You can tell they are veterans just by looking at their standing posture. Some of them have obvious disabilities, but those few...are extremely brave.

We have all been stained with blood, and this thought popped into my mind.

It's obvious where it comes from.

Yun Tinglan wondered in her heart, was this Huo Zhensheng's original connection, or was it something he got through after Song Jinhan came here?

In his previous life, he was one of the heads of the Supernatural Bureau. He often dealt with these departments and was naturally very familiar with them, so there was no need to make a fuss.

Huo Zhensheng explained: "Most of these people will be stationed in the mining area."

There are frequent riots in Myanmar, so armed forces are essential to protect the mining areas. Wood warehouse weapons are strictly controlled in China, but here as long as you have money to support private armed forces, you can own them.

Valuable items such as gems are more likely to be targeted, and robbery, theft, and gang-on-gang attacks are common, so it is necessary to have your own armed force.

How can you trust foreigners as much as your own people?

Local people can be recruited to work in the mines, but they cannot be allowed to manage and maintain law and order, otherwise these Burmese people will easily turn the tables and swallow them up.

Dinner was authentic Chinese food, and the chef was the wives of several of the team members. They all came here voluntarily, and one of them was a 40-year-old lady who was a good cook, and everyone called her Sister Man.

She originally sold boxed lunches at a street stall in her hometown, but she couldn't bear to be separated from her man so she followed him here, and when she got here she was promoted to head chef.

I'm happy because I have a high salary and can live with my man. As for the fear of being in a foreign country, it doesn't exist. I'm surrounded by my own people and the food is no different. The only inconvenience is that many dishes are not available here, so it's not as convenient as back home.

It was a simple home-cooked meal, her favorite scallion oil noodles, which Yun Tinglan found particularly delicious.

This house has been bought by Huo Zhensheng to accommodate everyone, and will also be their transit station in Mandalay in the future.

Their room was on the third floor with a great view.

It was getting late at this time and the number of pedestrians on the street gradually decreased.

Sister Man and Yun Tinglan talked about the taboos here. There is a curfew in Mandalay after 11 or 12 o'clock at night. Don't go to remote places during the day and don't go to crowded places at night. As a foreigner, you will receive a lot of attention here.

Yun Tinglan was not very interested in shopping. On the way here, she looked around the city and found it rather shabby, even though their area was considered the most prosperous part of Mandalay.

But there is no place like a pedestrian street. At present, only this area is relatively prosperous. Looking around, several buildings not far away look decent.

But it's really just this section, and it's full of foreigners. The conditions of their building are already the best here, and there's really no improvement.

Yun Tinglan wanted to go to the largest jewelry street in Myanmar, the Jiaowan Jade Market, and had no interest in other places. The situation here was still unstable, with wars happening from time to time.

Yun Tinglan would be stupid to go out at night, that's simply courting death!

The next morning, Yun Tinglan was awakened by the sounds of morning exercises in the yard. She looked out the window and was shocked to see hundreds of people doing military boxing together, as if she were in a military camp.

After Yun Tinglan finished her breakfast, Huo Zhensheng was still in a video conference. She asked Wang Wei to exchange Myanmar currency so that she could go to the jade market to buy some goods.

I know that the exchange rate between RMB and Myanmar Kyat is high, but I still feel helpless when I see such a large bill of 500 million Myanmar Kyats (which is more than 17 RMB).

Wang Wei was naturally worried about Yun Tinglan and Sister Zhou going out, so he called a short-haired young man, Xiao Duan. He was from Yunnan Province, could speak Burmese, and was familiar with the jade market in Bagan.

The cut materials are traded on the street outside the market, starting at 7am and closing at 10am. They are all street stalls, just like the markets in towns and villages in China.

Yun Tinglan felt like she was back in her childhood, dreaming of the novelty of going to the market, but the goods she saw were different. Here they were all jade materials.

There are many Chinese people here, most of them are live streaming. It is also the first time for Yun Tinglan to watch others live streaming from this perspective, which is quite novel. However, she only took a few glances, and the raw stone is still more attractive.

She saw a fractured pigment of Mu Na, which had formed a new layer of fog after breaking along a large crack.

It has a slender and irregular shape, with only the head having a little bit of water-stained skin. The criss-crossing colors look relatively light, but the color under the white fog layer is okay, reaching a bright green.

There is a bracelet position drawn on it but actually it cannot be made into a bracelet. Not to mention that it has a big crack, the shape of the stone is not suitable and the texture is too rough.

She would take ribbons of color and use them to make egg-shaped ring faces.

It was a good decision to bring Xiao Duan with him. He obviously knew something about jade and had first-rate bargaining skills. In the end, we bought it for 1.82 million Myanmar Kyats.

Yun Tinglan had the idea of ​​recruiting people: "..." She really needed such talents to be stationed here to help with purchasing, "Xiao Duan is also playing with stones?"

Xiao Duan smiled shyly, and it was hard to tell that he had just had a verbal battle with Lao Mian. "After I was discharged from the army, I couldn't find a suitable job, so I followed my cousin for half a year. Last month, the old squad leader was recruiting people, so I followed him."

Otherwise, I would still be working as an apprentice in a jewelry store.

Yun Tinglan asked casually: "Do you miss home? Are you used to it here?"

"Hey, I didn't go home for several years when I was in the army, I'm used to it." Xiao Duan didn't care. He was very satisfied with his current job. He earned more than 20,000 yuan a month, with various subsidies and benefits. He could live with his comrades, and the management was not as strict as in the military camp.

To be honest, when he was discharged from the army, he thought to himself that he finally didn't have to train every day and could meet his girlfriend every day. He was so happy that he secretly counted down.

But when I really returned home, I felt uncomfortable everywhere, as if I had been abandoned by the world.

He was an undergraduate majoring in financial management before joining the army.

But after so many years, the only jobs he could find were security guard jobs, or sales jobs with very low wages that relied entirely on commissions.

Many of his classmates who did not perform as well as him in the beginning have become managers, of course some of them are bald and have big bellies.

Comparing his eight-pack abs to his own, he was quite proud of himself.

But the gap in his life was extremely huge. While others had married and had children, he had achieved nothing. Even his parents had to pay half of the down payment for the house.

He changed three jobs, but he could not work in each job for more than two months because he could not stand the various exclusion and unfairness and quit on his own initiative.

His girlfriend broke up with him because she felt there was no future with him. He was depressed for a long time. It was still his parents who went to his cousin to ask for help. His cousin was also short of people and asked him to run errands.

But his life was not going well, which was why he happily followed the old squad leader when he received a call.

As for the harsh and dangerous conditions here, he just wanted to say that compared with the conditions he faced when he was guarding the border, these were really nothing.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation are all included, and there is a monthly salary of 23,000 yuan.

If he transfers 10,000 yuan to his parents, he can live a very comfortable life.

"The key is to be with old comrades, and life is very comfortable." Although they would quarrel and tease each other, they were all insignificant jokes.

It can be seen that Xiao Duan is really enjoying his current life, which is good. Find time to talk to Huo Zhensheng about this. If there is no other position that requires Xiao Duan, keep him in Wa City.

With Lingxi here to pick the goods for her, she can control the quality through the Internet at any time.

She was completely relieved.

Xiao Duan took a fancy to a piece of black sand colored python material. The entire sand line was very even, without any brushing, so it was not obvious on the material, but green could still be seen in the corners by pressing the light.
