The sun is scorching and the sun is scorching. It was around 2 o'clock in the afternoon. A Mercedes-Benz off-road vehicle with a licence came here from a cloudy highway in the mountains. Like most so-called roads in the Tabei area, the road in front of me was not flat. The Mercedes-Benz off-road vehicle was slightly bumpy on the road, and there was smoke and dust all the way behind the car!

This place is only more than 70 kilometers away from Mandalay. It was originally an unknown place, but because of something, people in the jewelry industry in Southeast Asia remember this place - Sister Mo.

The thing that makes Sister Mo famous in this place is jade!

At the end of each year, it is the most lively time when the place is Jiemo. Big jewelers and jade merchants from all directions gather here to participate in the annual Tadian Federation Jade Publication held by the government. The annual jade publication is like a grand performance, which is performed one after another. Some jewelers and jade merchants have increased their investments dozens or even dozens of times overnight because of their "savvy eyes to recognize beads". There are almost one or two wealth legends happening every year. Tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of wealth from the sky, which has attracted countless people's blood and yearning! Of course, in contrast, the blood and tears that some other people sprinkle here and the tragedy of poverty overnight often make people sigh.

In the eyes of many people, this place of Jiemo has the charm of being no less than drugs! When people who know this place mention it, they will compare it to a casino - the largest casino in the world with jadeite raw stones as the target! This casino controls more than 80% of the world's jadeite raw stone transactions. The big boss of this casino is of course the Tadian Federal Government. When talking about the jadeite public auction of Jiemo, we have to have a simple understanding of the history of this place.

Thirteen years ago, there was no so-called jade public auction in this place. The country has always been the largest jade consumer and importing country in the world. The Tadian Federation is the largest producer and exporting country. According to formal border trade, every jade transaction must be carried out under strict tax policies. The governments of both countries impose heavy taxes on jade transactions, especially the Tadian Federal Government. In order to absorb the huge profits brought by jade transactions, the Tadian Federal Government has also introduced special control measures and prohibited private individuals from engaging in jade trade in Tadian Federation. They want to monopolize all jade trade under the control of the government, but with the federal government

The government's idea is that the federal government's domestic control policies and the supervision of border trade taxation sites cannot effectively supervise domestic jade trade. Jade smuggling once flooded the Golden Triangle and Tabei region. Many jade merchants took long detours through various channels and private relationships to transfer domestic jade to foreign countries for transactions to obtain amazing profits. At that time, in the Golden Triangle, there was a saying that "it is better to go green than to go white." The failure of supervision led the federal government to come up with a unified public market and relaxed the control of private jade trade, but the results achieved were also very good.

Limited, in the eyes of many jade miners and merchants, jade public auctions have largely led to their profit loss and increased tax burden. The seemingly fair public auction led by the government has essentially largely deprived them of bargaining and dominance over jade, so they did not respond much. The Tadian Federal Government initially held two jade public auctions held by Jiemo. The effect was not very good. Through two failures, the Tadian Federal Government finally found that in order to completely monopolize the profits of jadeite rough stones that Tadian Federation had annually up to hundreds of millions of dollars in its own hands, it was essentially necessary to control the source of jadeite. Ten years ago

The Tadian Federal Government issued the so-called "Political for Nationalizing Jade Mineral Veins", forcing all jade pits and mines in the government-controlled areas of the Tadian Federal to nationalize at low prices. This policy caused a fierce rebound at that time, but with the assistance of the military and local governments, all opponents were suppressed. In addition to some jade pits and veins in the armed control area of ​​the Golden Triangle Ethnic Minority **, more than 90% of the jade production sources in the entire Tadian Federation were controlled by the federal government. The jade public auction in this place has become truly famous, and the reputation of Jiemo is getting bigger and bigger.

Due to the further concentration of public goods, the output of old jade pits is gradually depleting and the increasing market demand for jade in China. The price of jade has also been pushed up step by step in the past decade. In particular, high-end jade, which is almost 30% of the price per year and is increasing every day. This trend has also forced the federal government to change its public trading strategy. The initial public trading cycle has changed from four times a year to three times at the beginning, then two times, and finally once a year. More and more high-end jade rough stones have also changed from the original bidding auction to the bargaining sale based on bidding. Even when bidding, if the big boss and the federal government are not satisfied, they often arrange people to publicly "intercept bids", which has become an open secret...

At this moment, Cai Jinshui, the largest jade gem businessman in Meng Gu, was sitting on the speeding off-road vehicle, frowned slightly, and used one hand to moisten the short beard on his chin, looking outside the car

The retreating trees always show a bit of shrewdness and courage, and they show a bit of confusion.

The other person sitting with Cai Jinshui is also the big businessman of Fei Lengcui. Both of them are famous figures in the Jade***. At this moment, Meng Liang's expression on her face was similar to Cai Jinshui, and she was full of confusion. Meng Liang's expression was more worried than Cai Jinshui.

"Old Cai, you said, Commander Lin asked us to come together this time, what does it mean?" Different from the relationship between "people in love" imagined by outsiders, in jade, a very xenophobic ***, merchants of the level of Cai Jinshui, although there are sometimes some competition, many times, the cooperative relationship between the two parties is closer. For example, when they are in the public market, several people who invest in big business together to purchase goods, diversify risks and share profits, and communicate with each other's inventory and share some business channels. Therefore, although they are colleagues, Cai Jinshui and Meng Liang have always had a good personal relationship, and they don't have much scruples when they are together.

"How do I know, the news I received with you!" Cai Jinshui smiled bitterly. Cai Jinshui, who is over 50 years old, has gained a bit of weight in figure and face. She wears an ordinary linen short-sleeved shirt all year round. The ability and sharpness that has been sharpened in the business world for many years has now turned into a gentle and rich and calm state. She does not look at the jade pendants on his neck and hands that can make insiders drool, and at the same time, she also vaguely demonstrates her identity. Many people will classify him and the uncle next door sitting on the street as the same type of people when they see him for the first time.

"I really don't know?" Meng Liang, who is about the same age as Cai Jinshui, but has a little thinner figure, obviously disbelief. "Who is Gen? Commander Lin's confidant. Now Gen is almost going to become your son-in-law. Commander Lin must not see us at sister, you won't know?"

"This person is very clear about the public and private division. He never tells me what I shouldn't know about. And you don't know about Meng Gu's situation now. Do you think that when the Yang family was king, the army would have to be inserted into everything? Yesterday, you came to me and I realized that Commander Lin wanted us to meet with Sister Mo and said that there was something to discuss. As for what, we really had to see Commander Lin before we knew! But I think the matter that we had to discuss this time was probably related to Sister Mo's jade public auction this time!"

Jade public auction? Meng Liang was shocked, then hesitated and asked Cai Jinshui a little hesitantly, "In order to do this bullshit National Day, Laota did not have a public auction last year, but it has been pressed this year. I want to make a huge amount of money and add icing on the cake. For this public auction, I have been raising funds during this period and want to do a big vote. Lao Cai, look... Commander Lin would... want... want..."

Meng Liang finally didn't ask after that, but Cai Jinshui understood. He looked at Meng Liang with a frown face and smiled hoarsely, "Old Meng, don't think too much. The so-called "little one" is a mess. Where is your usual shrewdness? Do you think Commander Lin is Yang Zhixun, who is three feet tall. Although we are rich, we will not be seen by Commander Lin! This time Dongfang Yi came back from Yn, and the timber merchants in Feilencui and those who run casinos don't know how many people want to make a fortune. If I hadn't heard that the casino license would not be available, I would have wanted to open a casino. If I wanted money, Commander Lin would just hook his fingers and many people would line up to deliver it to my door!"

Meng Liang spread his hands with a bitter face, "Your son-in-law is Commander Lin's beloved general. I heard that Commander Lin is still a guest in your mansion. As the saying goes, don't worry if you don't look at monks and Buddha's faces, but what am I? The second-generation ancestor who was born in Yang Zhixun in the past could swallow half a cart of my goods. How could I compare with you? I would have known that I would have given birth to a daughter!"

"You ***, the more you talk, the more you become, the less sensible you are. Why don't we make a bet?"

"What are you betting on?"

"I'll bet on those Iron Dragons in your warehouse. If I win, I won't let you suffer a loss. 20 million, you can give me those Iron Dragons..."

Meng Liang also bared his teeth, "Okay, it turns out that you have already beaten me with those few Tielongsheng. What if you lose..."

"I'll give you 20 million in vain!"

"How to bet?"

"Just bet that Commander Lin is going to look for us this time is a good or a bad thing!"

"I've been betting..."
