The fat lady was not easy to fool. She pulled the young man back and said angrily, "Do you think I'm a fool? A two-million-dollar jade broke just by touching a rock? Besides, I don't know if I touched it or not. The bracelet didn't even touch the rock! "
A quarrel began. The young man smiled at first, but the woman was relentless. He grew impatient, shook off the woman's arm, and left.
The fat lady chased after him and shouted, "You can run away from the monk, but you can run away from the temple? Are you trying to deceive the consumers? Fine, fine, fine. Do you think I'm easy to bully just because I'm overseas? I'll wait, just you wait … "
Zhong Da Pao rubbed his chest leisurely. He squinted his eyes and smiled. "What a silly girl. This is a glued bracelet. It's not even two million. You can buy a few with just twenty thousand!"
Li Du said, "She didn't break it herself? Did she get tricked? "
Liu Zi sneered. "How is that possible? She didn't fall on the rock. She just sprained her ankle. How can the jade break so easily? And soaking in the hot spring water, how hot can it be? Jade is not tofu. How can it break so easily? "
Li Du shook his head. "There are too many scammers here.
"Many," Zhong Da Pao said.
After a while, three girls, probably less than fifteen years old, walked over shyly. A waiter led the way, and the four of them had wine in their hands. There was red wine, beer, and white wine.
After the waiter put down the wine, he bowed and bowed to Zhong Da Pao. "Master Pao, we're here. What are you doing?"
Li Du panicked. These girls were young and immature. It was illegal to do anything to them.
He quickly waved his hands. "Master Pao, Master Liu, we can't do something so heartless …"
Liu Zi was baffled. "Devoid of conscience? How is that heartless? "
Zhong Da Pao laughed. "Young Master Li, what are you thinking? Why do you think the girls are here? To serve us? Bullsh * t, they're here to serve us jade! "
He carefully opened the three boxes containing the jade and handed them to the girls. They each took a piece and soaked in the hot spring water.
"This is jade," Zhong Da Pao said.
Li Du then realized that he had misunderstood and laughed awkwardly. "Haha, I see."
"What do you think?" Zhong Da Pao was still laughing. He had purposely set Li Du up to see him make a fool of himself.
They did not return to the hotel but soaked in the hot spring for a night. Li Du brought the little ones in and gave them a bath. They had been following Li Du around since they arrived in Myanmar and were covered in dust.
After soaking in the hot spring, they could go to bed, but the three girls could only continue to soak in the hot spring for the whole night.
Li Du could not bear to watch any longer. Zhong Da Pao said, "The jade needs to be kept for at least twelve hours. It cannot be stopped. You don't have to bother about it. This is their job. You can't stop them from eating, right?"
Liu Zi added, "That's right, Young Master Li. They do this to earn a salary to support their family. It's a pretty good livelihood in Hpakant. It's much better than being a prostitute, right?"
A place like Hpakant was very unfriendly to the people of the lower class. Jobs like raising jade were indeed very popular.
The girls washed the jade for the whole night. When they came out of the water the next morning, Li Du felt that they did look a lot more crystal clear.
Next was the transaction. Zhong Da Pao met the Hong Kong businessman to verify the authenticity and quality. The Hong Kong businessman named a price, and they haggled. In the end, the three pieces of jade were sold for 12.5 million RMB.
The value of the last two pieces of jade was average. Li Du did not choose all the good stones. He just picked two at random. Even so, the ability he displayed was very eye-catching.
He did not participate in the transaction between Zhong Da Pao and the Hong Kong businessman. Since he was free in the morning, he went back to Old Hpakant and instructed Godanwei to help him buy a lot of stones, mainly seeds. These things were small and easy to store.
Li Du cleaned up the black hole space and took out more than ten guns and ammunition. He hid them in the car and emptied the black hole space to store the jade.
He estimated that even if he did not find the jade vein in the Dena Mountain area, just this one trip here would be enough for him to spend the rest of his life. All the high-quality seeds in the entire Old Hpakant market were in his pocket.
After the jade was sold, Zhong Da Pao received a check. They went to the bank to exchange the money and split the money. It was a twenty-eighty split. Zhong Da Pao and Liu Zi were not greedy and were very satisfied with the profit.
Liu Zi took care of the bank card. He patted his pocket and said, "Hey, it's a long story. Master Pao, how many times have we gambled? This is the first time we've made money, right?"
Li Du was shocked. "Really?"
He had heard some people say that Zhong Da Pao's luck was bad, but he did not expect it to be this bad. It was a little shocking!
Zhong Da Pao smiled helplessly at him. "We don't play much, and we only buy cheap stones. There's no choice, we don't have the money to buy good stones. Of course, we don't dare to buy them. "
In the afternoon, they moved to Longken.
There were many people in Hpakant, and the news spread quickly.
When they went to the Longken area, someone came up to Zhong Da Pao and said, "Hey, Master Pao, I heard that you guys made a lot of money yesterday? Did your luck change? "
Zhong Da Pao smiled. "This time, I prayed to Bodhisattva and Guan Yu. Bodhisattva and Guan Yu have blessed me. Finally, I can see yellow and green for once in my life!"
Longken was similar to the previous two areas. The environment was almost the same. It was surrounded by potholes in the mountains, and there was a field a distance away. Then, there was a large living area.
In the afternoon, the living area was crowded. There were obviously more people than in the previous two areas.
Zhong Da Pao guessed that he did not know much about the local raw stones in Longken, so he gave him an introduction. "In the past, people came to Hpakant to buy stones because of the black sand. They felt that there was more green in the black sand. Just like that, the black sand in Old Hpakant was sold out.
"Longken and Old Hpakant are very close. There is also black sand here, and there is also gray sand. However, it is very rare. In the past, people came to Longken for it."
Li Du knew that. The skin of all raw jade stones was related to the color of the soil it was buried in. The soil around Old Hpakant and Longken was darker in color, so it was easy to find black sand and other stones.
However, after many years of digging, the surface had been dug down a few layers. More than ten meters underground, the color of the soil had changed, and the quality of the stones had also changed.
"Longken's black sand is very good. The sand is fine, the skin is thin, and the advantages and disadvantages are very obvious. The advantage is that the flesh is fine, and the quality of the goods is good. Everyone knows that the quality of the goods here is much higher than the other fields. If we can find the ice type and glass type here, we will really make a killing!" Zhong Da Pao said expectantly.
