Global Treasure Hunting: From Penniless to Billionaire

Zhao An guessed that these three pieces of imperial green jadeite should have been a whole piece in the first place.

Later, for unknown reasons, it shattered and became three pieces. Zhao An could already see the green jade core from his section.

Due to the long-term relationship, the three rough stones each weighing sixty to seventy catties are still embedded in the river bed.

He had to pull out the rough rock from the river bed with bare hands, and then he untied the rope tied around his waist, and tied one of the rough rocks tightly.

Tie a strap knot on your back, then walk in the water to the shallow river, untie the rough stone and put it on the river bank.

It only took about 5 minutes to enter the water this time, and a rough jadeite worth hundreds of millions was obtained.

After taking a short breath, Zhao An entered the water again. How could a stone be enough?

It's all here, no matter what, you have to evacuate it.

The second piece was also finished very quickly. Zhao An tied the original stone firmly in twos and twos. Zhao An put it on the shore again, checked the surrounding movement, and Zhao An entered the water again.

The third time he entered the water, Zhao An was not in such a hurry, he took the time to tie up the rough stones, and was in the mood to tease the passing fish.

I saw him lying on the bottom of the river with the rough stone in his arms, observing the river bed with his real eyes. In fact, there are still many rough stones with emerald jade cores in this river bed.

It's just that the value is not as high as the imperial green jadeite. This trip has limited manpower, and three rough stones are enough for him to move, so even if there are some omissions, there is no way.

Huh~ Zhao An found a piece of green and translucent rough stone not far from him downstream, and took a closer look.

The identification results of the real eye came out: the original emerald jadeite weighs 17 kilograms, and contains glass emerald jadeite.

The jadeite has a net weight of 4.3 kilograms, a transparency of 7.4, and an unprocessed valuation of 7 million yuan.

Good thing, Zhao An was carrying a rough stone on his back, but he still swam over like a fish.

He hugged this rough stone in his arms, carried one piece on his back, and carried one piece back to the shore again.

Looking at the four rough stones piled together, Zhao An couldn't hold back the joy in his heart any longer. He wanted to laugh out loud, but he was afraid of offending the patrolling personnel of the Kachin Army.

Only by laughing wildly silently and waving his hands vigorously in the air can he vent the happiness in his heart at this moment.

A piece of imperial green jadeite is several small targets, and now three pieces are placed in front of him,

And there is an even rarer emerald jade, which is a wealth of more than one billion,

With so much money, Zhao An used to only dare to think about it in his dreams, but now the dream is about to come true.

Can you not be excited, can you not be happy?

But without further ado, leaving the scene as soon as possible is the right way. There are many cases of classic movies,

Zhao An also knows the reason why the villain dies because of talking too much...

Use a rope to connect all four stones together, and then carry them all on your shoulders. Don't rush to put on the clothes you took off, and put them directly on your back to avoid the stones on your back.

The four stones add up to more than 200 catties, but Zhao An's body is like a monkey, nimbly running and jumping on the rocky road,

He quickly transported the rough stone to the side of the car, then he gently opened the trunk and put the rough stone in.

Finally, I took off the wet underwear and threw them into the river, and put on dry clothes, trousers, shoes and socks.

Just got into the vehicle empty, turned around and went straight to Pagan Town.

This is the territory of the Kachin army. Although the Burmese army is lazy, it is still very troublesome if they are encountered.

This time Zhao An quietly went out to fish for stones. Although he took a lot of risks, some risks were taken here. After all, it is the rare imperial green jadeite!

Moreover, the imperial green jadeite is also divided into high and low, almost tens of millions, and the better ones, especially the top-quality ones, are even more expensive.

That is, these few rough stones are hidden in deep water. Since the history of emerald mining, almost no one has set foot in them.

Almost no one would have thought that Zhao An, who used extraordinary abilities, would be cheaper.

Now it's all right, three pieces in a row, and a piece of emerald jade as a gift, just like picking up money, it's not too easy.

All the way back to the hotel in Pagan Town carefully, Zhao An found that Ai Qingrou and the others hadn't rested yet, but were preparing ingredients with their bodyguards.

Zhao An beckoned to her quietly, Ai Qingrou only took Amy Jessica to a corner of the parking lot, where Zhao An's car was parked.

He opened the trunk to reveal the stones inside and said, "I picked up these four stones, and Mr. Ai will help bring them back."

It was too dark to see clearly, so Jessica turned on the flashlight and shook it.

Exclaimed: "Emperor green jadeite, or emperor green jadeite with natural windows, it's a lot of money!"

Zhao An proudly said: "I paid the boss's price for these few stones, Mr. Ai has to settle the bill for me~!"

Ai Qingrou said angrily: "I also took the risk, okay?

But these few pieces are indeed a surprise, so let’s count them all as yours, okay?

After I go back and cut it all up, I will calculate it for you according to the complete estimate, how about it? "

Zhao An nodded with a smile and said, "That's about the same, but then again, what are you guys doing?"

Chapter 28 To Mandalay

Ai Qingrou raised her eyebrows and said: "Eat supper, Mr. Zhao picked up such a large sum of money, shouldn't it be a treat?"

"Treating guests is a trivial matter." Zhao An couldn't hide his smile anymore, and said with a smile, "It turns out that picking up money is such a happy thing."

Ai Qingrou also echoed with a smile: "What is difficult for others may be like picking up money for you. So sometimes I really can't help being curious, your ability is really Can't you teach it?"

Zhao An laughed and said, "Really don't ask, I can't tell if I ask, and you really may not be able to bear the price."

Ai Qingrou asked in confusion: "The price, what price?"

"All wealth is cleared to zero, can you accept it?"

Ai Qingrou said gloomily: "Tens of billions, then the price is indeed too high..." Tens of billions!Zhao An almost choked to death on his own saliva, and exclaimed: "Sister, tens of billions, why are you still working so hard? How can you make us poor people who are neither richer nor lazy than you!"

Ai Qingrou blushed, and spat softly: "Go to hell, the tens of billions I mentioned are just assets under my name, not cash."

Amy next to him nodded and said in agreement: "Yes, the assets under his name alone are tens of billions, not counting the inheritance of his father in the future..."

Ai Qingrou covered her mouth before she finished speaking, and then Amy tried her best to break her hand away, and said to Zhao An treacherously: "Her father's name is Ai Zhiyuan, you can find him on the Forbes ranking Name, their family covers jewelry and jade, antique calligraphy and painting, real estate finance and other businesses. In recent years, the jewelry and jade business has been transferred to Ai Dong's name, so boy, come on, I am very optimistic about you .”

"Yes, yes, the old saying goes well, young people don't know the taste of soft food, they mistake girls for treasures, and middle-aged people have nothing to show off..." Zhao An said meanly.

Ai Qingrou has always been flattered, but at this time she blushed and said hurriedly: "Don't talk nonsense, if you talk about it, I will be impatient!"

Zhao An and Amy looked at each other, and laughed in tacit understanding.

After frolicking for a long time, Zhao An parked the car in a safe place again. Ai Qingrou called Zhao An to hurry over, saying that today's supper is very rich, not only there is an open-air barbecue, but also beer crayfish, which is enough.

Needless to say, coming to a BBQ in a foreign country is a unique style and taste.

The ingredients are almost ready. The hotel owner is also a Chinese. He enthusiastically vacated the backyard and volunteered to be the chef. He skillfully lit the fire of the barbecue grill and put the skewered ingredients on the table when the fire was almost ready. The top is baked up.

Ten people just formed a table, and they had already opened a case of beer and started drinking. When the atmosphere was warm, Ai Qingrou raised her glass and said, "Everyone has worked hard these past few days, especially Mr. Zhao. I go up the mountain and down the water, so I respect Mr. Zhao An for my first glass of wine, thank him for his hard work for me, and create value for the company's interests."

The rest ordered to applaud, only Zhao An raised his glass and clinked the cup with Ai Qingrou and said: "President Ai's words are serious, everyone gets what they need. And it's really a pleasure to cooperate with President Ai, why not do it? "

Ai Qingrou said with a smile: "Mr. Zhao is polite, but if you have any outstanding talents in the future, you must not hide them, but show them bravely. The company's business is booming and it needs talents from all aspects. , a stage to show off your skills, so this second glass of wine, I respect the hard work of the company. This month, everyone's salary will be tripled on the original basis, and the bonus will be tripled."

Everyone cheered when they heard this, their brows were brimming with joy, they were almost dancing, they clapped their hands vigorously, because in their eyes, what they said was like throwing money, clapping their hands was nothing, slapping their faces was fine.

When everyone calmed down, Ai Qingrou went on to say: "The third thing is to talk about our next arrangements. Since the tasks of this Pagan trip were overfulfilled, only Amy and Mr. Zhao will be left , accompany me to attend the public auction in Mandalay next week, and the rest of the people will escort the rough stone back to Ruili with Jessica, and then analyze the stone together after we sweep the public auction. The evening is both a celebration and a farewell, I hope everyone will eat and drink well, and enjoy this exotic and pleasant night!"

Not to mention, the barbecue skill of this Chinese boss is really not covered. A group of people ate with wine and ears, and the cups and plates were messed up.Ai Qingrou, Amy, and Jessica didn't eat much and went back to rest. Zhao An may have recently improved his physical fitness, and his food intake was more than three times that of before. He solved seven or eight portions by himself. Crayfish, plus other meat and beer, at least three or four normal people.

However, these bodyguards were all big-bodied and thick-bodied men, and they had an astonishing appetite, so it didn't seem surprising that Zhao An was among them.

A group of rough guys mingled together, chatting and chatting about any topic.As a man, if you drink a little wine, you will be a little bit drifting, and you will have nowhere to brag.

Then a certain bodyguard bragged: "This man just wants to be fierce, and if he is not fierce, he can't do it. One night, my wife and I don't come to have sex seven or eight times, at least half an hour at a time. If you don't convince her, you'll be fine." You can do it at home, you don’t even have a place.”

Another bodyguard retorted: "Family status is not what you said. It's created this way, but it's based on mutual respect and harmonious coexistence. I only spend two or three minutes each time. My wife is also very satisfied, isn't it also a relationship with the family?" Harmonious, the years are quiet?"

Suddenly, Zhao An on the side couldn't help but say: "Then why are there so many years of peace, it's just that someone is carrying the burden for you to move forward."

These words were originally very positive, but in the current context, there are some puns in the meaning, so I understood it, and the bodyguards who had another meaning also burst out laughing, only 3 minutes Macho, feeling a little depressed: My mentality of riding a horse has collapsed!Ah~!Ah~! !

Early the next morning, when Zhao An just woke up, Amy had already hired a truck in the town according to Ai Qingrou's instructions, and the bodyguards also loaded all the rough stones bought during this trip into the truck. , the team officially parted ways. Jessica led the bodyguards to escort the rough stone back to China, while Ai Qingrou took Amy and Zhao An and drove to Mandalay to participate in the auction of rough jadeite in Myanmar.

Mandalay is the second largest city in Myanmar. It is located in the inland of central and southern Myanmar. It is the largest rough jadeite trading center in Myanmar. The public auction of rough jadeite in Myanmar is also held in Mandalay, not in its capital, Nay Pyi Taw , so Mandalay is also known as the "City of Treasures".

The three of Zhao An took turns to drive, and it took a whole day to travel more than 400 kilometers from Hpakant to Mandalay. It was not until the next afternoon that Zhao An drove the Prado into Mandalay, the second largest city in Myanmar. Dele.

The distance of more than 400 kilometers, if it is in China, it may take half a day or a day at most, but this is in Myanmar.

Moreover, the road coming out of the Pagan mountain area has no road at all, winding and winding, with big pits and small pits,

People are about to be shaken apart, let alone speed.

Fortunately, after leaving Pagan, it is the asphalt road. Although it is still winding, at least there are no mud pits.

Chapter 29 Super Emerald Market

The journey of more than 300 kilometers took a whole day to arrive. I knew that it would be better to fly, so as soon as they arrived at the hotel, Zhao An and the three of them got their own rooms, and fell on the bed tiredly and fell asleep.

This sleep is so transparent, like a person who is extremely short of water, suddenly encounters a rain,

So much so that Zhao An's strengthened physical fitness slept until the next day, and he didn't wake up until after ten o'clock local time.

And Ai Qingrou and Amy hadn't even gotten up yet, and it was Zhao An who knocked on the door in the end, and then reluctantly got up to wash up.

Even though the public auction has not yet been made, the streets of Mandalay are still much more lively than before.

Anyway, being idle is idle, so Ai Qingrou took Zhao An and the two to the largest rough stone trading market in Mandalay.

Let's see if we can pick up a leak or something. Of course, with Zhao An's cheating ability, it's not too normal to pick up a leak or something.

Mandalay is an ancient trading market. After people mined from the Pagan area, they brought rough stones here for trading and auction.

In addition, Mandalay is also the world's largest jade egg noodles trading market,

The so-called emerald egg noodles are the jade cores that are cut and polished to remove the leftovers and form emerald roughs.

Then use machine or manual, grinding and polishing to oval shape,

Soft-boiled eggs that look as if they have been peeled off their shells, hence the name Egg Noodle Jade.

It takes a long time to polish the egg noodles by hand, but the efficiency is low, but a good handwork can show the most beautiful side of the egg noodles.

Generally, it is machine polished and then manually polished.

Foot grinding is not as efficient as machines, but considering the poor power supply in Myanmar, you can understand that this method is the most secure.

Of course, the egg jade is already a clear material, and the bets on stones are usually "hooded materials" or semi-exposed materials, which are also very common in the wool market in Mandalay.

The biggest feature here is the egg noodles trading method. Normally, buyers walk around the market to find suitable jadeite.

But here is just the opposite. The owner or intermediary takes the baby with him and walks around the market.

When you meet a buyer, you take it out of your bag for people to see, and if you don’t agree, you leave to find the next buyer.

Since Zhao An and the others entered the market, they have already experienced more than a dozen waves of sales from different consignors...

There are waxy, watery, bean green, and apple green ones, and of course there are many fake ones.

Here is a kid in his teens, holding a piece of crystal clear, green and shiny egg noodles, pulling Zhao An to try his best to sell it, and speaking slowly in Mandarin with a Burmese accent: "Good stuff, Jing Shiny."

As soon as Zhao An entered the market, he got a real eye. As soon as this thing was taken out, Zhao An knew it was a fake made of glass.

However, Zhao An, who was very playful, still deliberately asked the price: "Jingjingliang, how did you sell it?"

The little ghost made a sign of eight very seriously: "80!"

If you dare to ask for 80 for anything, do you think I'm a fool?Zhao An sneered and said, "Myanmar currency?"

The little ghost head was anxious and angry, he chopped his feet and cursed: "What kind of kyat, Renminbi, 80 yuan!" It really seemed like that.

Zhao An watched the performance of the little ghost, and his acting skills were indeed much more superb than his own, so he deliberately teased him,

Then he took the 'Emerald Egg Noodles' given by the little ghost head, looked carefully at the sunlight, and said with a smile: "Porphyrin porphyrin, it's crystal bright, now I'll give you a number, and I'll make the deal right away!

80, RMB, whether to sell or not. "

The little devil stared angrily, and looked at Zhao An angrily. It took a long time for him to utter a word between his teeth: "Sell!"

Then he made another gesture of counting money, and said with a look of unwillingness: "It's my bad luck, I sold it to you at a cheap price."

Zhao An patted his forehead and felt that he had been tricked, but he still honestly gave the money to this little devil.

The little devil who got the money swished into the crowd and disappeared after a few swipes.

Zhao An chuckled, handed the egg noodles to Ai Qingju and said, "I'm giving it to you, made of glass."
