Special Assistant Liu: “…”

How good is your stomach? Don't look back. Your stomach problem has come back. I quickly put down the milk tea in my hand and brought a bowl of hot soup rice noodles to the boss.

Song Jinhan stuffed the warm milk tea into Yun Tinglan's hand and said, "Drink this." Then he went to eat rice noodles. He was probably not used to the sweet and sour food here, and his brows were twisted.

"Oh oh!" Yun Tinglan lowered her eyes and sipped the milk tea. The backs of her ears felt burning hot and she swallowed the words back. It was embarrassing to say them out loud.

"Brother, eat your rice noodles first. I'll go and help you make the beef dumplings." With that, Yun Tinglan went out with the milk tea.

Song Jinhan stared at her without blinking, the corners of his lips curved silently, but he did not stop her.

Her earlobes were bleeding red, but she still pretended to be calm and composed. How... cute.

Yun Tinglan went out and fanned herself with her hands as if she was very hot. Song Jinhan's expression was as indifferent as ever, and his tone was also flat.

But she felt it was a little provocative? Was it because of her change of mindset? Oh, she was a little overwhelmed. No, she had to calm down.

"Sister, buy a bouquet of flowers?" A crisp child's voice interrupted her thoughts, carrying a bit of hope. Even without a translation, Yun Tinglan could understand what she meant.

In her hand were a few dan flowers, the national flower of this place. They were half-opened, red with a hint of orange. You could tell at a glance that they were picked from some garden, not from a specialty flower shop. There wasn't even any packaging, and they looked a little wilted.

Yun Tinglan took out a 1000 Myanmar Kyat note and handed it to her. The little girl grinned with her chapped lips, thanked her in Chinese and handed the flowers to her stubbornly.

The sun was even stronger in the afternoon, reaching as high as 38 degrees, and even the wind was scorching.

At the Tapo Umbrella Market, a gem trading market in Mogok in the afternoon, the open parasols look like blooming blue flowers.

With an umbrella and a table, the buyer chooses a place to sit, and sellers will keep delivering goods for them to see.

Yun Tinglan was also sitting under a broken umbrella selecting gems. She was surrounded by merchants waiting to deliver goods. Xiao Duan was in charge of taking the money and bargaining, while Sister Zhou was watching over her.

If businesses want to survive in this market, they have to rely purely on their vision, identification and negotiation skills.

Most of the people who get goods in the market are thugs. They take the mine owners' goods to find buyers. If the deal is successful, they get a commission and can also receive tips from the buyers.

Sometimes, in order to get the goods smoothly, the buyer will take the initiative to increase the tip and ask the thugs to help say good things to facilitate the transaction. So it is not that you can buy good goods just because you have money. If you don’t have good eyesight, you may be cheated and lose all your money.

Sometimes if you offer a low price, you cannot buy a good gemstone, but if you offer a high price, you will suffer a loss. Therefore, negotiating the price is also a process of extreme tug-of-war.

Yun Tinglan looked at a lot of them, almost one every few seconds, and then verified the scan results with Ling Xi's.

It is not only about picking gemstones, but also about learning and accumulating experience.

These experiences can only be learned through personal experience, and cannot be mastered by simply learning theoretical knowledge. Knowledge gained from books is always shallow!

Yun Tinglan felt that she benefited a lot.

Finally, I selected some gemstones with good value for money from many products.

High-quality peridot, the big one is fifty-three carats, the small one is sixteen carats, there are ten pieces in a box, all of them are emerald green with a hint of yellow, the cutting is very good and the fire is beautiful.

Cornflower-colored sapphire, 2.43 carats, unheated, slightly flawed, rare for its velvet effect.

The unique texture comes from the inclusions inside the gem. The evenly distributed inclusions reduce the sharpness of the sapphire, making it visually soft and creating its unique velvet effect.

It should be emphasized that it is vitreous, not milky. The velvety feeling of the velvet effect and the milky body with poor clarity are two completely different things.

Star ruby ​​and sapphire?

Yun Tinglan paused for a moment, glanced at the person who came, and turned the box slightly. The starlight was very beautiful, a small egg-shaped surface, enough for a whole box, but it was a pity that it was artificially synthesized.

The owner of the goods looked at Yun Tinglan in shock. Is he really an expert?

He observed for a long time nearby. The girl only glanced at the gems, which was quite frivolous. Then he looked at the bodyguards standing on her left and right. He thought she was some rich girl who came to experience the hardships of starting a business.

So he had an idea, thinking of passing the blame to her to get his money back, but he didn't expect that she would see through his plan at the first sight.

The man had a bitter face. He was screwed. It was all over. How was he going to explain this to his wife?

Fortunately, the girl spoke vaguely and didn't intend to discredit herself, so the man took his things and left in shame.

For two full hours, Yun Tinglan didn't see a single Jedi Knight, but there were a few pink sapphires that were used to impersonate Padparadschas. Seeing that the quality was acceptable, she lowered the price and bought them.

She wanted to go back early but it suddenly started to rain heavily, so she sat under an umbrella, waiting for the rain to stop, while looking at the gems handed to her by those who were taking shelter from the rain.

When seeing the cat's-eye sapphire, Yun Tinglan deliberately glanced at the owner. Coincidentally, it was the guy in the sun hat who had just cheated people with artificial synthetic gemstones.

If Ling Xi hadn’t said that this cat’s-eye sapphire was real, Yun Tinglan wouldn’t have dared to believe it. 25.8 carats.

She has also seen some similar fake cat's-eye sapphires on the market. They are not artificially synthesized, but real natural sapphires. However, the cat's-eye effect does not come from its inclusions, but from artificial carving.

This is the first time I have seen such a completely authentic product.

Yun Tinglan asked the price: "How much?"

The guy with the sun hat was still a little nervous, mainly because he was worried that Yun Tinglan wouldn't know the value of the product, or would subconsciously think it was fake too.

This is a treasure he has worn on his body for many years.

He was actually a jeweler who came here to collect goods, but his eyesight was not good enough and he was cheated. In order to make back his money, he came here to try and see if he could find another sucker to take over for him.

But it was obvious that he was thinking too much. His trouser pockets were cleaner than his face and he would probably end up on the streets at night. The security here was so chaotic, and if he ended up on the streets he would be sold as a meat dump!

I had to take out this cat's-eye sapphire.

The greatest luck in his life was digging it up in Sri Lanka. He had wanted to pass it down from generation to generation as a family heirloom.

Who knew that I would suffer such a big setback here? The most important thing right now is to survive before we can talk about other things!

"I dug it in Sri Lanka. Give me a price first." He spoke standard Mandarin in a way that impressed several people.

"Are you Chinese?" Xiao Duan was a little confused. How could he speak Burmese if he could speak Mandarin?

"No, I'm from Ruili, Yun Province." Chen Chen scratched his head awkwardly, hesitating a little. That's not the kind of person who has done something wrong and is afraid of having his true identity discovered, and has lost his motherland.

Quite patriotic, many people understood it immediately.

"Since we are both Chinese and met in a foreign country, it can be considered fate. I will give you a real price of 400,000." Seeing that the man wanted to say something, Yun Tinglan raised her hand to stop him from speaking and asked, "It seems to me that you are in trouble. Have you been cheated?"

Chen Chen uncomfortably moved his stool, "Ah?" That's right, he was cheated out of 180,000 yuan by someone using synthetic gemstones because he was greedy for a bargain. After appraisal, none of them were real.

I cut the jadeite and it broke, and threw tens of thousands of dollars into the water. Now I don't have a single coin in my pocket, and I've been hungry all day.

His stomach growled in response and Chen Chen's face turned red like liver.

Yun Tinglan handed him the coconut jelly in front of her and said, "Eat it. No one has touched it before."

Anyway, he was so embarrassed that Chen Chen decided to just give up and wolf down the food without caring about his appearance. The portion was not big but the dessert was high in calories. Finally, Chen Chen was no longer starving.

After he finished eating, Yun Tinglan spoke, "Since you are also into gemstones, you should know that the price I offer is not low. Your cat's eye sapphire is of a decent size, but the clarity is low." Yun Tinglan pointed at its color bands and growth lines, "Fortunately, it has no other flaws, and the cut is also fine, but I still have to pay high tariffs when I go through customs and return home."

These are all costs, and she must take them into account.

Chen Chen didn't say anything. He knew all this, but the problem was that he needed money. How could he buy gems without money? He couldn't come here for nothing. He couldn't explain to his wife when he returned.

But as Yun Tinglan said, the tax on gems is heavy, and you can’t pass the two checkpoints of leaving Myanmar and returning to China without money.

So, it really is true that money is required everywhere!

Bald!

Yun Tinglan spread her hands, "How about this, you bring it back to your country and I'll buy it? I can give you a higher price."

Chen Chen was embarrassed: "Sister, I'm short of money now." Otherwise, he would be reluctant to sell it. By the time he returned home, it would be too late and there would be no need for him to sell it.

So he asked shamelessly: "Then...how about you give me the money first, and I'll send it to you after I return home?"

This is his own jewelry. Customs will keep records of such valuable jewelry, so he doesn't have to pay any extra duties when he brings it back.

It depends on whether she trusts herself.

Yun Tinglan tapped the table absentmindedly, "It's not impossible, let's sign a contract." Ling Xi had already dug out his background. He had a decent fortune, but it was all in his wife's name.

His wife also runs a jewelry business in Ruili, Yunnan Province. He is usually in charge of the design, but this time, as his wife was in confinement after giving birth, he took the initiative to come and do the purchasing.

But he suffered a terrible setback. He didn't dare to tell the truth to his wife, for fear that she would get angry and hurt herself. So he just wandered around the market for two days.

A man who loves his wife can’t be a bad person.

Of course, the most important thing is that Yun Tinglan knows him inside and out. If he really runs away, she can find his home. The couple has a joint debt, so even if others avoid seeing him, his wife has to pay it back.

"No problem!" Chen Chen was overjoyed, thinking that he still had some luck. However, "What's the price?"

"You'll get an extra 60,000."

Chen Chen smacked his lips. All right! People trusted him and were not worried that he would take the money and run away. He couldn't push his luck any further.

After the rain stopped, Yun Tinglan and the others left the Umbrella City and found a place to print two copies of the contract.

Chen Chen read it carefully twice before signing, mainly because he was afraid of being cheated!

Yun Tinglan transferred the money to him directly.

Chen Chen happily said that he would treat them to dinner. After seeing the number of people, he silently shut his mouth. With so many people, even if each person only spent 10,000 Myanmar Kyats, they could still take away one of his spinels.

inside the car.

Yun Tinglan was communicating with Lin Wanwan on the phone about the situation in China while waiting for Song Jinhan, holding a cup of honey yogurt in her hand to fill her stomach.

Song Jinhan was asked by Professor Liu to visit a friend of his here, the president of the Mogok Gem Association. He and Professor Liu were old acquaintances, and it was this president who helped Professor Liu enter Mogok smoothly last time.

Song Jinhan spoke to Professor Liu on the phone yesterday and told him that he had shipped a batch of specimens of rubies and their parent rocks back to China and would send them to the Geological University for Professor Liu's research.

Professor Liu was very happy and asked him to visit the old president. In fact, he was returning the favor by introducing his own connections to Song Jinhan.

As soon as she sent a message to Assistant Liu, she saw Assistant Liu appear in front of her holding an umbrella.

It turned out that when it was raining, Song Jinhan asked him to come and pick someone up, but Yun Tinglan didn't come out, so Assistant Liu had been waiting for people in the car.

At this time, it is natural to take her to the old president's house.

The old chairman's home was on the other side of the artificial lake, not far away. The old man was in good spirits and didn't look like a man in his seventies at all.

When Yun Tinglan arrived, the two were playing chess. She glanced at the chessboard and saw that the old chess master was playing very poorly, making it difficult for Song Jinhan to have the patience to accompany him.

The old president was very happy. He became even more interested after discovering that Yun Tinglan knew about gems. He asked his daughter to take out the treasures in his collection for them to appreciate.

Yun Tinglan looked up and stared at Song Jinhan. He felt something in his heart and turned back slowly. His usually cold eyebrows and eyes were softened and confused, but he could still see the figure in his eyes clearly.

There is only one her.

The smile between her eyebrows melted into her heart. This man could always see through her thoughts and help her achieve her wishes silently. It is said that love or not depends entirely on the details.

She thought this might be the person she was looking for.

As soon as I saw her, I smiled.

As soon as she saw it, she smiled.

"what happened?"

It's okay, it's fine.

Song Jinhan naturally touched her forehead, frowned slightly, and felt a little cold, so he took off his coat and put it on her.

The temperature difference here is big at night, and the temperature dropped a lot after the rain. Yun Tinglan is in good health, but the sudden drop in temperature still makes her hands and feet cold.

Special Assistant Liu saw his boss affectionately holding the girl's hand in his palm to warm it. This was good news, indicating that the boss had come to his senses.

That's right, I feel like I have lost my memory. Why is the CP he is supporting suddenly progressing so rapidly?

I was planning to talk about Sister Zhou later. How could she be so careless and not even prepare a coat for the future boss lady? Now it seems...

Very good!
