Rebirth 1996 starts from unforgettable

"There are black bears. The bile of black bears is called liquid gold, but the number is very rare now. It's really not easy to get it. Let's see if there is a chance in the next few days. When the time comes I'll take you to the rainforest to try your luck." Minister Wei Xing is not an animal protector, after hearing Guo Feng's words, he agreed without any hesitation.

Moreover, hunting in Myanmar is a very normal behavior. Minister Wei Xing will go to the mountains to shoot a few shots and buy some pheasants to improve the food. As for the black bear, he has never seen it, but he heard about this area. There is this big guy in the rainforest.

Minister Weixing’s mine is located in the Pagan area, and it is also the earliest factory area to mine rough jadeite. According to historical records, there have been records of mining jadeite in the Pagan area since the [-]th and [-]th centuries.

Until around the 80s of the [-]th century, Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty expanded his territory to the Hpakant region in northern Myanmar, where he discovered rich jadeite mining areas. Since then, jadeite has been widely used as jadeware. It soon became the object of people's pursuit, and its glory soon surpassed the nephrite in the territory.

However, Zhang Xiao also knows that the most important reason for the high popularity of jadeite is that the output of jadeite is larger than that of nephrite jade, while the output of nephrite jade is not much, and the best nephrite jade is even rarer. On the other hand, the status of nephrite jade has declined, but in the eyes of those who really play with jade, high-quality nephrite jade is undoubtedly their ultimate pursuit.

There are about 10,000+ people living in the Hpakant area, of which 6 to [-] are native Burmese, and the other more than [-] are jade mining workers employed by major companies in Myanmar, most of whom are Chinese, because They are hardworking and capable.

After more than six hours of turbulence, the convoy finally entered the birthplace of Burmese emeralds—the Hakant region, but it was still more than 20 kilometers away from the mine of Minister Weixing.

After entering the Pagan area, the road has become more and more difficult to walk, because a good road will be blasted into a gap inexplicably. This is done by various emerald mining companies, even off-road vehicles. Had to make a detour as the road was not open to traffic at all.

Excavators can be seen everywhere along the way, but fortunately, Minister Weixing leads the way, but no one dares to embarrass this huge convoy.

After more than an hour, the car drove into a huge mine. Zhang Xiao looked at his watch. He started to set off at [-] o'clock in the morning, and now it is almost [-] o'clock in the afternoon. Hours, this is still the case when someone leads the way.

After arriving at the mine, the convoy stopped in front of a small three-story building. Zhang Xiao hurriedly got out of the car, breathing in the not-so-fresh air, with the roar of excavators and other construction machinery in his ears.

"Brother Zhang, I'm sorry, this road is really difficult..." Minister Wei Xing said to Zhang Xiao apologetically after getting out of the car. stand up.

But Zhang Xiao was not confused by Minister Weixing's kindness, because he knew the purpose of Minister Weixing, which was to rely on him to detect new mining sites in the mine.

"You're welcome, it's entrusted by others, it's a matter of loyalty." Zhang Xiao smiled slightly, waved his hand indifferently and said.

Although the three-story building looked gray and dilapidated from the outside, Zhang Xiao realized that he was lonely and ignorant when he got inside.

The three-story building is very luxuriously decorated, although there are soldiers guarding the door with live ammunition, but Minister Wei Xing is the boss here, so Zhang Xiao is treated like a real VIP.

As soon as he entered the door, Zhang Xiao was dragged towards the indoor hot spring pool by several young and beautiful women in bikinis. Minister Wei Xing laughed at the leaving Zhang Xiao: "Brother Zhang, let's have fun! , Coming here is like coming to your own home.”

Zhang Xiao didn't even refuse. After all, people have pursuits for beautiful things, let alone these lively beauties.

Before reaching the hot spring pool, most of Zhang Xiao's clothes had been stripped off, leaving only socks and underpants.

"So strong." Several women stared at Zhang Xiao's body with piercing eyes, especially the big lump, which made them swallow their saliva.

Two hours later, Zhang Xiao came out of the hot spring pool, leaving only a few tired women lying on the edge of the hot spring pool, not even bothering to move their fingers.

But Zhang Xiao was refreshed at the moment, put on the clothes that had been placed by the pool, and headed towards the banquet hall on the second floor under the leadership of the service staff.

After Zhang Xiao entered the banquet hall, he suddenly found that Minister Wei Xing, Hu Ming and several mine managers were already waiting, which made Zhang Xiao blush a little.

"Brother, it's amazing. It takes more than two hours to do it." Minister Wei Xing gave Zhang Xiao a thumbs up and said with a smile.

"It's amazing, I'm not as good as I am, do you have any secrets?" Hu Ming is full of curiosity about Zhang Xiao at the moment, because of longing, so hope.

"It's just a talent." Zhang Xiao said casually.

Minister Wei Xing and Hu Ming saw that Zhang Xiao didn't want to say more, so they didn't mention it again. After all, how can such a private matter be discussed in public, at least find a secret place.

This welcome dinner opened Zhang Xiao's horizons. He can be regarded as a person who has seen big scenes, but the dishes on the table, many of which he can't name, are honestly full of delicacies from mountains and seas.

Braised bear paws, steamed freshwater turtles, and those dishes that are cut into sections and taste delicious when eaten. When Zhang Xiao asked, it turned out to be snake meat, and there were other dishes that he had never even heard of. Not to mention the dishes made from wild animals, the taste is really amazing.

Zhang Xiao's mouth was full of oil, and with his powerful digestive system, he was full. This was a feeling Zhang Xiao hadn't felt for a long time.

However, although Zhang Xiao ate the meal comfortably, he still felt the strange atmosphere, because Minister Wei Xing and Hu Ming looked at Zhang Xiao shortly, and looked at each other from time to time, which made Zhang Xiao a little surprised.

After the dinner, Zhang Xiao was dragged into the same room by Minister Wei Xing and Hu Ming. They both asked how to make the time longer. Zhang Xiao could only prevaricate by exercising more, especially the strength of his legs. Wondering if the two of them would actually work out.

However, Zhang Xiao didn't have any psychological burden on this. After all, exercising leg strength can indeed lengthen the fighting time. As for how long it will last, that's beyond Zhang Xiao's knowledge. It can only be said that this kind of thing has something to do with personal physique.

Then Zhang Xiao came to the room on the third floor. General Guo Feng had already checked the room. Seeing Zhang Xiao coming in, Guo Feng said to Zhang Xiao: "It's very safe here. This small building should be the core of the mine. Not only There are a large number of soldiers guarding it, there are many heavy weapons, and even the glass of the room is bulletproof."

"Normal, but we still need to be more careful, and let Ma Zhiyong himself be more careful, but don't give him weapons, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble." Zhang Xiao said after pondering for a while.

"I understand. In addition, I have contacted Liu Yu. Ma Lin's condition is much better than expected. After all, she is young and recovering quickly." Guo Feng continued.

Zhang Xiao nodded, and then said to Guo Feng: "Rest early, we will go to the mining area tomorrow, there is also a distance from here, and the mine is so big, we have to measure it step by step, there will be tomorrow busy."

Guo Feng nodded, and after Zhang Xiao went back to sleep in the suite, he also went to bed and began to sleep.

After a night of nothing, Zhang Xiao got up again at six o'clock the next morning. Her whole body became full of energy and revived with blood.

After Zhang Xiao finished exercising, Minister Wei Xing and Hu Ming yawned and got up. Seeing that Zhang Xiao was sweating from exercising, Minister Wei Xing couldn't help but enviously said to Hu Ming: "It's good to be young. It recovered so quickly."

"That is, when we were in the army, we were very energetic." Hu Ming said with emotion.

However, Zhang Xiao really didn't know about Minister Wei Xing and Hu Ming's feelings. He had already returned to the room, eating the meal that Guo Feng called back, and discussing today's personnel arrangement with Guo Feng while eating. Everyone carries it.

"Then let's go in our team. Now there are nine people in a team, plus you and me, three cars are enough." Guo Feng said after thinking.

"Okay, you look at the arrangement." Zhang Xiao said with a smile after swallowing the food in his mouth.

After eating, Minister Weixing came in and said to Zhang Xiao: "Brother Zhang, let's go. After all, it is our own mine, so we must investigate it carefully."

Zhang Xiao nodded, agreed with Minister Weixing's statement, did not stop, and followed Minister Weixing out.

When they got here, the security force of Zhang Xiao and the other three people weakened a bit, but they still brought about ten people, a total of nine vehicles, and headed towards the mine in a mighty manner.

After driving for a few minutes, the vehicle began to drive upstream along the clear Wuyou River.

Although the banks of the Uyu River have been mined beyond recognition, the river that nurtures the Pagan people is still crystal clear and flows quietly through the city of Pagan.

The car drove upriver along the Wuyu River, and the scenery along the way was very beautiful, with large banana trees, dense jungle, and the gurgling river, just like in a painting.

At every distance on the Uyu River, there will be a chain bridge with wooden boards on it. There are a lot of people coming and going, most of them are rushing to the Pagan Market.

These people include the local people of Pagan who have been farming for generations, and there are also many people who come here to fish for the world. After all, there are commanded resources here.

In addition to emeralds, there are also rich gold, silver, and copper mines buried under the land in the Pagan area, including the teak in the forest, which are all tradable resources, attracting all kinds of people with various purposes. People who come to Hpakant.

And in addition to these, when people talk about Pagan, they always say that Pagan is run by three lines, namely the white line, the red line, and the green line.

The white line refers to heroin. It is close to the border between India and China. It has always been a place where drug traffickers are active. Many drug lords who are wanted by Interpol are hiding in places such as Pagan.

The red line refers to the ruby, a specialty of Myanmar, which is also very famous in the world, and the green line is naturally emerald.

Along the 150 kilometers up and down the Wuyu River, with Pagan as the center, there are hundreds of emerald stones in Longtang, Xiangba, Huika, Mogang, Dakanmu, Dongmo, Houjiang, etc. mine.

Among them, there are ten famous mines with a long history, all of which are located in the upper and lower reaches of the Wuyou River, and those new factories are mostly in the Dongmo area, where the mines are all bare, and a large number of exposed rough stones are directly displayed outside. , but without the kind of skin of the old pit.

Minister Weixing's mine is located in the upper reaches of the Wuyou River, but it is not far from the place where he rested yesterday, which also belongs to the mine.

After driving for more than 40 minutes, the convoy came to the foot of a mountain. After the people in the car in front got out of the car to negotiate, the checkpoint at the foot of the mountain removed the roadbed blocking the road.

The convoy drove along a not very wide mountain road, and soon reached the halfway up the mountain, parked the car on a platform, and everyone walked down one after another.

"Minister Weixing, this is your mine? It's really spectacular." Zhang Xiao saw that most of the mountain on the opposite side had been dug out and almost flattened. Under the platform, there were hundreds of people In the busy process, there are various excavators and bulldozers, making a roaring sound, constantly pulling out stones from the mountain wall.

The skilled worker next to him immediately stepped forward to identify the stones pulled out by the excavator. Some of them were struck with a hammer, and some were seen by eyesight. As long as they felt that the stone had material, they would immediately load it into the truck, and when it was full, And then unified outward transport.

"Yes, it looks very spectacular, but it will be dug up soon. If there are no new mining sites, these workers will soon find new jobs, but what should we do? We can't just sit and eat." Wei Wei Minister Xing said with some melancholy.

"That's true." Zhang Xiao understood Minister Weixing's plight at this moment. After all, the investment in the mine is not a small amount. It costs hundreds of thousands of dollars every day. If there are no new jadeite mining sites, the mine will be very difficult. It will go bankrupt soon, and it will be basically impossible to start again by then.

Zhang Xiao nodded, and began to pick up the map to look at it, writing and drawing on the map from time to time, he was deducing the place where emeralds were formed based on the trend of the ore veins.

Time passed by every minute and every second, but Zhang Xiao's eyes became brighter and brighter, because he thought of a possibility, that is, the formation of ore veins is from the bottom to the top, and what is now mined is only above the ground. Maybe there are more rough emeralds waiting for them.
