Chapter 362 Armed Escort (1)
"The situation has become tense again recently..."
Yu Xuan knew what Chen Kai was thinking. To be honest, he has been paying attention to the situation in Myanmar for a while and had originally planned to turn down the invitation from his Hong Kong friends. Who knew that Chen Kai would dive into this muddy water again now.
"Uncle Yu, no matter what, I will go there this year..."
Chen Kai sighed. When the situation was not tense last year, his funds were used to expand the store and he did not hoard much raw stone. After this year's development, the business of each store was very good, which led to his lack of raw materials.
If it was a peaceful time, Chen Kai would not be worried. Even if there was no jade public auction, he could secretly transport some raw stones from the jade raw ore. With money to open the way, people in the Myanmar government often turn a blind eye.
But now it is not possible. Even if the government forces release it, Chen Kai's raw stones may not be smuggled out of Myanmar, because all the hilltop villages have rebelled, unless he can open up the relationship between the entire Myanmar's various tribes and states.
"Fang Yi, why don't you go this time..."
Yu Xuan looked at Fang Yi and said, "You can wait for us in Chuncheng. It will take ten days to get faster and half a month to get slower, and we will almost be back..."
When Yu Xuan decided to take Fang Yi to Myanmar, the situation was relatively eased, but the fight started again in recent days, and there was a tribe who wanted to make independence, so Yu Xuan did not want Fang Yi to take risks with him.
"Teacher, just saying nothing is just a training on paper. I'd better go see you..."
Hearing Yu Xuan's words, Fang Yi shook his head. When Chen Kai and the teacher talked about the situation in Myanmar just now, Fang Yi used the art of looking at the Qi to look at the faces of the two of them and found that they were both shocked and safe, so nothing should happen to this trip.
"Okay, it's hard for you to imagine that kind of scene if you don't go and experience it yourself..."
Yu Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "I also know some generals in Myanmar who hold real power. I believe they will give me a little bit of a shame. Chen Kai, our master and apprentice will accompany you, but you must not miss the benefits of my disciple..."
With Yu Xuan and Chen Kai's relationship, there will naturally be no fees, but Fang Yi is different. He risked to follow him into Myanmar. Even if he couldn't help, Chen Kai should give Fang Yi some money according to the rules. Fang Yi is like a graduate student in the school working as a supervisor, and he will be rewarded.
"Five hundred thousand, teacher, no matter what the result is this time, Brother Fang's reward is 500 thousand!" Chen Kai gave the price at once, and the price is not low. You must know that if you only get 50,000 or 80,000 in Myanmar, you can get an armed force to work hard.
"Okay, just 500,000..."
Yu Xuan nodded when he heard this. He knew that Chen Kai was giving the price for his sake, but on one hand he was his junior and a disciple. Yu Xuan did not favor one or the other, so he immediately settled the price.
"Follow the teacher, this money is really easy to make..." Fang Yi didn't say a word, and then he got 500,000 yuan in pocket. He couldn't help laughing and said, "Brother Kai, I can't help with anything else. Just have the energy to do for me..."
"You kid, please pay attention to protecting your hands and don't mix everything..." Yu Xuan looked at Fang Yi with dissatisfaction. The reason why he didn't want to take Fang Yi was because he was afraid that he would be young and energetic, so that he would not cause any trouble.
"Uncle Yu, what's wrong with Fang Yi's hand?" Chen Kai asked strangely.
"He has a skill in carving, especially in seal carving skills, he is more specialized than your teacher..."
Although he is not a master of Fang Yi's teaching, Yu Xuan is still very proud of Fang Yi's craftsmanship. Not to mention him, even Qin Haichuan would be willing to give up the disadvantage of Fang Yi's gold and stone carvings.
"Oh? I didn't realize that Brother Fang has such a skill? From now on, we are so close to each other and help me carve some objects..." Chen Kai was really surprised when he heard Yu Xuan's words. He knew that Uncle Yu's attainment in gold and stone, but he didn't expect that the other Fang Yi's evaluation would be so high.
"Okay, when I come back this time, I will carve a few items for Brother Kai..."
Fang Yi agreed immediately. He knew that the hardness of jadeite should be greater than that of nephrite, but he had not practiced it with jadeite yet, so he happened to take this opportunity to try the difference between jadeite carving and nephrite carving.
"When will we leave?" Yu Xuan drank a glass of wine and looked at Chen Kai.
"Let's take a day off today and leave until dawn tomorrow..." Chen Kai said: "Let's drive to Tengchong first, then stay in Tengchong for one day, and leave the country and enter Myanmar the next day. I have arranged the itinerary..."
"Drive away?" Yu Xuan frowned when he heard this. He often went in and out of Myanmar and knew that this section of the road was not easy to walk.
"Uncle Yu, I want to bring some cash over. The situation over there is too chaotic and I can't exchange enough money. I can't bring it over without driving..."
Chen Kai was also helpless. The transactions in Myanmar public markets do not use Myanmar's currency or domestic money, but only recognize US dollars. If they were in the usual time, they could exchange US dollars after they arrived in Myanmar. However, the situation in Myanmar is now turbulent, and the amount of US dollars that can be exchanged is limited.
This time, Chen Kai prepared a total of 100 million in cash, and it was calculated as US dollars to nearly 15 million. He had exchanged 12 million through his relationship in Myanmar, but the remaining 200 million US dollars needed to be brought by himself.
"The three of us bring millions of dollars over? I said you can't be so dying?" Hearing Chen Kai's words, Yu Xuan's eyes suddenly glared. Myanmar is now a big bandit nest. They bring so much money, aren't they waiting for someone to block the road?
"Uncle Yu, don't worry, I've arranged everything, someone escorted me..." Chen Kai said: "Or you and Fang Yi will leave first, and I will take the money to take the bus by myself, and there is only one day's difference between them..."
"You boy, when I was a child, I didn't let your father worry, so I left first and started to torment me..." Yu Xuan sighed and said, "Forget it, I'll help you with this last time. Come to me because of such a mess in the future, and see if I don't break your legs..."
"Uncle Yu, it's the last time. This time I will use some more raw stones to ensure that I will not worry about the supply of goods for three to five years. By then, Myanmar will have stabilized long ago..."
Another reason why Chen Kai had to drive over was that some of the best jades he had bet on the public market should not be transported back to China by air transportation. Because the airport in Myanmar is very chaotic, maybe the airport staff would steal the things. Therefore, the small-sized good materials should be brought back by themselves to be at ease.
"After drinking and going to bed, I'll leave early tomorrow morning..." Yu Xuan knew that although Chen Kai looked unreliable, he was actually very careful in doing things. Since he said it was safe, there would basically be no problem.
"Squeak..." As the little devil's screams, a shadow rushed to Fang Yi's shoulder, and Chen Rui was shouting behind him. It was obvious that this child was having a lot of fun with the little devil.
"Uncle, can I sleep with the little devil?"
Chen Rui blinked his big eyes and looked at Fang Yi with anticipation. However, before Fang Yi could reply, there was a hand on his ear, but his mother twisted his ear and pulled it away. The crying sound of a child suddenly came from the room.
"Let's go early tomorrow, otherwise this kid will make a fuss..." Seeing his son's reluctance, Chen Kai was also a little overwhelmed. If he hadn't known that Fang Yi's little squirrel would never be sold, Chen Kai would have found a price to buy it.
The next morning, before dawn, Fang Yi and the others left the yard. There was a cruiser waiting for them outside. The middle-aged man who was driving was aged 35 or 36.
"This is Lao Su, I have been with me for seven or eight years..." After getting on the car, Chen Kai introduced the driver to several people, "Lao Su was a veteran of the Sichuan-Tibet Line back then, and his driving skills were unexplained. If he hadn't driven, I wouldn't be very relieved..."
"Where is the money?" Yu Xuan made a lip chewing at Chen Kai. He got into the car and looked at the trunk. Except for some drinks and water, Yu Xuan did not see cash.
"This car is modified, and the glass is bulletproof..." Chen Kai obviously trusted Lao Su very much, so he patted the cushion and said, "The money is under the seat, so no one can find it..."
