Chapter 1489 1489. Stop hitting (35)
Ge Danwei was frightened, and howled: "Don't hit me, don't hit me!"
The young people howled even more, begging for mercy in Chinese and English that they didn't understand much: "Don't do it, don't do it!" "Help-me!"
Li Du snapped his fingers. Brother Lang and others put away their belts and machetes on the ground and returned. He said to Ge Danwei, "Do these people know about Pagan?"
Ge Danwei shook his head with a sad face: "I don't know, they are the gangsters here."
Li Du said: "Let them go, next time we meet again, I will break their legs!"
Ge Danwei went to help a young man and said a few words, and the young people got into the car and left like bereaved dogs.
On the road again, Ge Danwei became more honest, obedient and obedient like a puppy.
Before, he only saw that the other party was tall and big and not easy to mess with, but he didn't see how powerful they were, so he was hesitating on the way whether to tell his companions to stop their actions.
They have done this kind of thing a lot. Ge Danwei looked for Fat Sheep as a tour guide, and then told the route to his gangster companions, who got stuck on the road ahead of time and carried out extortion activities.
But the hooligans left early, there was no signal in the mountains and forests, and Ge Danwei couldn't get in touch with them. And he was still lucky, hoping that Li Du's side just looked good.
He has also met many such people. Some people are tough on the outside and soft on the inside, tough on the inside. They look strong and tough, but they will soften when they meet locals with machetes.
He hoped that Li Du was this kind of person, so that he could get his ID back and get some money to run away quickly.
As a result, he kicked the iron board this time and encountered a hard stubble!
After driving for more than two hours, the road was bumpy and rough, and Li Du asked a little bored, "You said your cousin is in Pagan, what are they doing there?"
Ge Danwei said: "I work as a miner there, and their family drives excavators in the mine."
Li Du asked, "How's the situation in the emerald mine over there?"
Ge Danwei shook his head and said: "Not good, very bad. The government has set up a supervision and supervision office to check unqualified mines. This year, more than 1,000 mines have been closed, and many people have lost their jobs."
Li Du knew this. The government not only shut down a large number of mines, but also stopped approving the opening of new mines in the Hpakant mining area, and stopped applying for extensions for mines that had expired.
"Global Jewelry" reported this news. As the best, oldest and most important mining area of gem-quality jadeite, Hpakant will slowly become a mythical history.
Illegal mines have been shut down, new mines will no longer be opened, and mining companies in operation have not announced plans to extend the operation period of the mines, which means that the development and utilization of jadeite minerals in Hongshawadi will continue to grow in the future. It is even more difficult.
Li Du was thinking about these things, and Ge Danwei asked cautiously: "Boss, are you here to participate in the jade mine tender this time? Are you planning to stock up?"
After hearing what he said, Li Du was taken aback: "Haven't the mines been shut down a lot? There is also a tender for jade mines?"
This kind of jade mine bidding is often an auction jointly organized by the Hongshawadi Jade Association and the national ore management department. Large and small mines will send the mined rough stones and wool to them, and then the jade dealers around the world will They bid on the auction.
In recent years, with the continuous development of the Hongshawadi jade mine, high-grade jadeite wool is already "hard to find", and the influence of bidding will gradually decrease. Now that the jade mine is closed, the jadeite raw materials will continue to decrease. It stands to reason that the bidding will be even more difficult. Woke up.
Ge Danwei said: "Yes, there are tenders for jade mines, which are held every quarter, but now the tenders are not only held by the government, but some are held by the private sector."
Then he introduced that with the closure of jade mines by the Hongshawadi government, jadeite merchants in China, Japan, South Korea, Asia, and the world are getting nervous, and they want to come here to hoard some jadeite ore before the policy is fully implemented.
Under such circumstances, there are fewer porridge and more monks, and competition arises. Under the crisis, more businessmen come to buy ore, so some mines take out the good materials they have accumulated in the past.
Of course, more people are fishing in troubled waters, taking advantage of the chaos in the market to sell realistic fakes to customers, so Pagan is in a mess now.
Ge Danwei said: "Boss, if you want to hoard ore, I suggest you go there after a while. The situation is very chaotic and it is easy to be deceived."
"Don't listen to those people's propaganda, saying that there will be no ore in Pagan soon, this is all false. It is impossible for the government to give up this fiscal revenue, they are just creating pressure on businessmen."
"Actually, according to the information I know, the current bosses have mined at least 100 million kilograms of jade in the past three to four years. These raw stones are enough to sell for three to four years in the future!"
Listening to his introduction, Li Du glanced at him with a smile and said, "Well, you know a lot, don't you?"
Ge Danwei smiled and said: "Not much, not much, boss, you are laughing, after all, I have relatives in Pagan. Besides, who in our country doesn't know something about jade?"
Li Du said, "Don't worry, I'm not here to buy emerald ore."
Ge Danwei scratched his head and said, "Ah? Didn't you go to Pagan for ore? Then why?"
Li Du looked at him with a half-smile and said, "Is it related to you?"
Ge Danwei hurriedly waved his hand: "Ah, boss, don't get me wrong, I'm just asking, I'm just curious. I won't ask, haha, oops, I drove the wrong way, turn back from here, we have to go to the next one intersection……"
Driving all the way to the northwest, they gradually left the forest and entered the hilly area.
Myitkyina is one of the regions with the richest natural resources in all of Myanmar. Two-thirds of the land is covered by dense forests, and the rest of the land is mined to grow sugar cane and rice.
There is abundant precipitation here, and many large rivers pass by.
On the way, they also drove along the river for a while, and then came near a pier.
Ge Danwei introduced to them that wild freshwater fish and shrimps are abundant in the local area, and paired with crystal fragrant rice, it tastes delicious.
Knowing how powerful Li Dufang is, this guy finally calmed down. He is indeed an excellent guide, he knows the scenery and legends along the way like the back of his hand, and he is also very clear about the food in various shops.
After listening to his introduction, Li Du decided to eat here.
After they got out of the car, the local boss knew Ge Danwei and waved enthusiastically: "Bring friends to me, the rice wine I just brewed, the big fish I just caught..."
Ge Danwei shook his head and said: "This group of people can't be fooled, you can't beat them, we'd better go to Du Enqin's house."
The meal was handled by Ge Danwei, Li Duliang didn't dare to play tricks anymore.
What Ge Danwei was looking for was a small shop next to the pier. It was a small place with a tarpaulin propped on wood to shelter from the wind and rain. There were a mother and daughter busy there.
The place is small and messy, so Li Du inevitably had some doubts: "Is it suitable to eat here?"
Ge Danwei slapped his chest: "Oh, boss, don't worry, if you are not happy with the food, throw me into the river!"
