Director Ma, who set up a bureau in Ruili, lives a better and better life. Since Gao Jiu and others came to Ruili, there have been fewer conflicts between the nations and better social security, and the entire social environment has been greatly improved.

There are great advantages in developing business in Ruili. Ruili is an important node on the Yunnan-Burma Highway and water transportation is also very developed.

Gao Jiu and Long San Gongzi's material companies, warehouses, construction companies, and research institutes brought a large number of foreigners to Ruili, making Ruili lively.

They brought huge consumption and attracted many merchants from other places. Ruili's economy quickly reached a higher level.

What made Director Ma even more happy was that Gao Jiu not only understood military affairs, but also economics. He invested in the construction of a large comprehensive market and invested in very favorable prices, attracting a large number of merchants. The market was very prosperous and brought a lot of tax revenue to Ruili's establishment of a governing bureau.

Of course, this is also a great political achievement, which has made him commended by the Yunnan government. As the director, he has a good wallet, has a good face, and a bright future.

Now Director Ma’s main job is to serve the rich man Gao Jiu well and hold the thigh of Mr. Long tightly. He basically doesn’t have to worry about other things. His life is free and enjoyable.

On that day, Director Ma wandered around the market with his hands behind his back. He walked past the farmers' market, and the jade market was ahead. He often came here because there were gambling stones that attracted him.

Gambling stones is a unique high-end jadeite raw stone trading method that is popular in the Yunnan-Burma border area. The most profitable, most tempting, but also the most risky one is gambling stones.

As the saying goes, "One knife is poor, one knife is rich." There is a jargon in the jewelry industry: gambling stones is like gambling life. If you win a bet, you will make ten times and a hundred times, and you will become a rich man overnight; if you lose everything, you will lose everything. Compared with gambling stone transactions, risky transactions such as stocks and real estate are warm and pale in comparison.

Gambling stones or gambling goods refer to jadeites that are covered with a layer of weathered skin when they are mined. They cannot know the quality of them. They must be cut before they can know the quality of jadeites.

When he arrived at the jade market, Director Ma saw Gao Jiu, Long Guobi and others, and he hurried forward and greeted them.

In front of a jade stall, a Myanmar merchant was selling wool materials. When he saw Gao Jiu and others, he said enthusiastically: "A few bosses, you are people with insight. My batch of raw wool materials are all selected, and there are many excellent treasures in it. Do you want to try your luck?"

Gao Jiu only knew some of the furs about how to gambling stones. He tentatively observed the furs carefully, but could not see any tricks.

Just as Gao Jiu was about to give up, the jade merchant said to Long Guobi: "Mrs. You are so beautiful and you will definitely have good luck. Let your gentleman choose a piece for you and you will be able to cut out the best jade. At that time, put a necklace on it and put it on, which will make you more radiant and beautiful."

Long Guobi was called his wife by a jade merchant, and couldn't help but feel a little shy and embarrassed. She said, "Don't talk nonsense, this is my ninth brother."

The businessman was very clever. He could tell from Long Guobi's expression and behavior that she should care about this Jiu Ge very much.

So he said, "Brother Jiu is his cousin, cousin. My cousin is originally a family, and he will definitely be able to get married in the future. Even if he is just a cousin, it is OK to buy some jade for such a beautiful cousin."

Gao Jiu was a little embarrassed when he was said. It seemed that he would really underestimate him if he didn't bet on stones. He said to Long Guobi: "Girl, come and try your luck!"

In order to avoid Long Guobi's embarrassment, he said to Wang Zhankui, Ning Wen and Ning Wu who were following him: "You guys will also choose a few to try your luck."

At this time, he saw Director Ma again and said, "Director Ma, you can also pick a few."

Everyone knew that Gao Jiu was generous. Since he said that, it was obvious that he paid for it. Everyone was very happy and chose the raw stone wool that they looked like.

This jade businessman has a big business. He has someone who is responsible for cutting raw stones. Gao Jiu and others cut all the raw stones on the spot, but only a few pieces of very ordinary jade were cut out, and the money spent was basically considered to be wafting.

When Director Ma saw this situation, he was worried that Gao Jiu and Long Guobi would not be able to get up and down, so he scolded the jade merchant and said, "You guy is a bad guy. The raw stone wool materials you recommend are all fakes. I want to punish you."

The businessman made a lot of money and was proud. When he saw Director Ma scolding him, he was really scared at the beginning. But when he saw the demeanor and temperament of Gao Jiu, Long Guobi and others, he felt that they should not be those narrow-minded people.

So he said to Gao Jiu and Long Guobi: "This young man, this young lady, it's not that you have a bad attitude. You just play around with it and don't take it seriously. Spending money is just a fun thing. You won't care about this little thing."

Speaking of this, he muttered in a low voice, saying, "All the nobles have seen it. I am doing it properly. You have chosen the raw stones by yourself. I didn't force you, right?"

His vision was really right. Gao Jiu and Long Guobi didn't take this matter seriously at all. Although he failed to gambling with stones, he didn't feel any loss in terms of face.

Gao Jiu said to Director Ma: "Forget it, Director Ma, the business he does is also run properly. Our vision is indeed not good, and there is nothing to say, so don't worry about this matter."

Everyone continued to wander forward.

After returning to his residence, Ning Wu was a little dissatisfied. He said, "Master Jiu, why don't you pick today? I believe that with your vision, you can definitely pick good jadeites."

Gao Jiu smiled and said, "I'm really not good at this. I just choose it myself. I'm afraid it will be the same as you."

In Long Guobi's eyes, Gao Jiu was omnipotent. She said: "Brother Jiu, they said that your eyes are different from those of ordinary people. If you can see through the things behind the wall, you should also be able to see the jade inside the raw stone!"

Gao Jiu really doesn't have this ability. He can indeed see through the objects behind the wall, but the premise must be heated. Not only that, he can only see a rough shape. The raw stone wool is cold and he really can't see through it.

He shook his head and said, "Girl, don't listen to their nonsense. That's just spreading rumors, which are used by everyone to scare the devils."

Ning Wu just didn't agree, and he said, "Master Jiu, I believe you can do it."

Long Guobi also said: "Yes, Brother Jiu, I also think this matter will definitely not hinder you."

Gao Jiu did not take this matter seriously, but when they heard them say this, he suddenly had a little idea of ​​finding face for these guys.

He picked up some cut raw stone wool materials, looked at the jade inside, and then looked at the stones wrapped outside, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

He said, "Go and get a pot of hot water and a big bowl."

"Hey, Master Jiu, come here." Ning Wu knew that Gao Jiu had a solution when he heard this, so he hurried to get the things.

Gao Jiu took the thermos from Ning Wu's hand, filled the bowl with water, and then put a piece of cut raw stone wool into the water.

After a while, Gao Jiu took out the stones from the water and placed them in front of him to observe carefully. After seeing this, he really saw a slight difference.

The thermal conductivity of jade is slightly different from the stone skin outside, and Gao Jiu's eyes can tell it.

After making this discovery, Gao Jiu brought different levels of jade, put them in water to heat them, and then carefully distinguished the differences between them, and then remembered them in his mind.

He suddenly became interested and smiled, "When we finish lunch, we will go to gambling stones."

Not long after, everyone came to the stall of the merchant who sold raw stone wool materials.

The businessman was very happy when he saw Gao Jiu and others coming over again. He liked such a stupid guy who had a lot of money.

He guessed that these guys must be unwilling to accept it and wanted to try their luck again. He likes such unwilling people, as long as they have money, he is willing to accompany them.

He said with a smile on his face, "Oh, everyone is here to take care of the villain's business again. I believe you will have a good luck this time."

Gao Jiu and others did not come with hot water because they didn't need it. At this time, it was noon, and the sun was very strong in the clear sky. The sun shone on the large pile of raw stone wool, which felt a little hot to the touch.

Seeing Gao Jiu reaching out to touch the raw stone wool materials, the jade merchant said kindly: "I have a bucket here, so I can wash the dust on it and cool it down."

Gao Jiu ignored him, took a piece of raw stone wool, put it into a black cloth pocket, held the pocket with his hand, approached his eyes, and observed carefully.

When the jade merchant saw Gao Jiu's performance, he found it very ridiculous. Those who bet on stones were dissatisfied. They each summarized a set of experience and used various means to hope to get a big advantage. This is probably the same idea for raw melon seeds like Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu selected a lot of raw stone wool materials, and finally left three pieces, paid for them to cut them open on the spot.

After the first piece of raw stone was cut, the position of this cut was not very straight and nothing was cut out. Gao Jiu asked him to cut the second cut.

After the second knife was taken down, everyone opened it and couldn't help but exclaim. There were crystal clear violets inside.

The boss saw that Gao Jiu had actually got such a piece of high-end jade, and his eyes were a little straight.

The second piece is the Imperial Green, and the boss's heart begins to get together.

When the third piece of raw stone wool was cut open, there was a rare dragon stone seed inside. The jade merchant was so distressed that he was about to faint.

Long Guobi and others were very happy. They couldn't help but laugh when they looked at their boss's embarrassment.

The boss was very sad. When he saw Gao Jiu's gaze looking at the pile of raw stone materials, he hurriedly said, "This boss, you are a master! Your eyes are like torches, your eyes are golden, and nothing can be hidden from your eyes.

Last time, it was a small one. The small one was willing to return the money you bought the raw stones, and asked the boss to put the villain on his feet."

Gao Jiu was not really skeptical about him, nor did he want to be in trouble with him. He smiled and said, "No need! Even if we bought a lesson last time, it was OK. You should continue to do your business."

After saying that, he took everyone away. The jade merchant realized that he was sweating profusely. He hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped it hard.

Gao Jiu's supernatural powers satisfy Long Guobi's imagination. Looking at Gao Jiu, his wonderful eyes couldn't help but discharge.

Gao Jiu has now begun to pay attention and try not to have too much contact with other women. He pretended not to see the lightning emitted by Long Guobi, and gave three pieces of raw stone wool to her, Ning Wen and Ning Wu respectively.

The next afternoon, Long Guobi went out and after coming back, he stood straight in front of Gao Jiu, with his chest high. Gao Jiu looked at the young lady in surprise, not understanding what she was going to do.

Long Guobi held the necklace on his neck with his hands and said, "Brother Jiu, this is the piece of jade you gave me. I made it into a necklace. Do you think it looks good?"

As he said that, he stretched out his full breasts again with great effort.

Gao Jiu looked at it and smiled and said, "Very good! You have a good vision. The style you chose is very good."

After saying that, he turned his gaze aside and stopped continuing the topic. He talked to Wang Zhankui about military training.

Long Guobi was a little disappointed, and stayed for a while, and left in a depressed mood.

The reason why Long Guobi has been in Ruili is because she no longer goes to school. Due to the war, these third and fourth grade students can graduate early and the school will issue them a graduation certificate. Long Guobi volunteered to come to the trading company to serve as administrative secretary.

Long Guobi left Gao Jiu's room and came to the office of the third young master Long sank.

When Mr. Long saw her unhappy look, he didn't know why, so he asked, "Little sister! What's wrong with you? Who provoked you?"

Long Guobi said angrily: "I hate you, I hate you so much."

Long Yingyuan was a little confused. He wanted to make her happy. When he saw the necklace on her neck, he said, "This necklace looks so beautiful. Little sister, you really have a vision!"

When she picked up the necklace, Long Guobi was even more unhappy. She reached out to hold the necklace and wanted to pull it off. But when she remembered that the jade was given to Gao Jiu, she was a little reluctant. She ignored Long Yingyuan and returned to her office in a depressed manner.

Long Yingyuan was puzzled, so he shook his head and continued to look at the accounts in his hand.

Suddenly, an air raid alarm sounded outside, and the people on the street fled in scattered, and Ruili was in a mess.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom." An explosion sounded inside the city.

Ruili City was air strikes by Japanese troops and suffered great damage.

The target of the Japanese bombing was previously directly on the Yunnan-Burma Highway. This was the first time that Ruili City had encountered an air strike. People were unprepared and suffered heavy losses. 87 people were killed and injured. More than 200 houses were blown up. Even a bomb was dropped in the institute, blowing up a house, killing an engineer and two college students who had just arrived at the institute.
