Four hundred and seventeenth chapter rough stone smuggling

"Damn it, the ghost guy..."

I looked up at the sky, but the lush branches and leaves on my head blocked Peng Bin's vision. Similarly, helicopters without thermal imaging in the sky would not be able to find Peng Bin and Fang Yi in the jungle. Their behavior was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Squeak...squeak..."

The little devil, who seemed to have been sleeping in his backpack, stretched out his head, and after screaming at Fang Yi twice, he carefully crawled out. Seeing that Fang Yi did not object, he jumped onto Fang Yi's shoulder excitedly.

"Don't run around, follow us..."

Fang Yi naturally wouldn't do something that was so futile when he was angry with an animal. This would have been forgiving the little guy in his heart. The little devil was originally an elf in the forest, and Fang Yi did not want to restrict its activities.

"Hmm? Ah Hu called..." Peng Bin, who had just eaten something, suddenly felt a vibration in his backpack. He took out his cell phone and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. After connecting, he realized that Ah Hu called.

"Someone has turned against him. Fang Yi and I will take the road of Wild Renshan. You can take people from outside to pick him up..." Peng Bin didn't say much. After hearing Ah Hu say a few words, he explained some questions and hung up his phone.

"It was a Vietnamese man named Agui who turned against him. When he broke through, he was the only one who was shot and caught..."

Peng Bin did not have much angry expression on his face. These mercenaries were originally cannon fodder on the battlefield and were not very loyal to the people who hired them. There was also an orphan army specially adopted in the Peng family, who was the real warrior of the Peng family.

"Why didn't Ah Hu call yesterday?" Fang Yi asked in confusion. Logically, Ah Hu should have made this call after breaking out of the encirclement, but now it has been thirty hours since last night.

"Ahu and the others have been chased by the government forces, and they have only left the army after entering the jungle..."

Peng Bin shook his head and said, "They have telegraph machines, but they don't have a phone number. This is because they just came out of the jungle and found a hidden rescue point in the Peng family..."

Mobile phones have not been fully popular in China at this moment, let alone in poor Myanmar, where only ministerial figures in the government are equipped with mobile phones.

Moreover, even if you have a cell phone, you usually cannot receive signals in the mountains and forests, because there are not many telecommunications base stations in Myanmar. The phone in Peng Bin was a satellite phone bought from abroad for a lot of money. In the Peng family, only three people used such phones, and Peng Bin was one of them.

"Brother Hu is okay?"

Fang Yi asked with concern, and had been with Ah Hu for about half a month. Fang Yi respected this and didn't say much, but was very down-to-earth in his work. At least they had not encountered anything during the period of participating in the public market.

"He's fine, but his subordinates have lost two..."

As his right-hand man, Peng Bin still knows Ah Hu very well. Although this kid's fist husband is not as good as him, he has few opponents in the jungle battle. If the government army dares to follow him into the jungle, then many people will not die enough.

"By the way, brother, please call Brother Kai and say we have arrived at the Peng family, so that he and the teacher don't have to worry..." Fang Yi thought of the teacher and Chen Kai who had left Myanmar. I believe they should be very worried about themselves at this time.

"Okay, I'll tell Ah Kai..." Peng Bin nodded. He understood Fang Yi's meaning. If he told them the truth that he was being hunted by the government army, the two people on Hong Kong Island now would not know what they would be anxious about.

After the phone was connected, Peng Bin chatted with Chen Kai for a few words, and then gave Fang Yi the phone. On the phone, Fang Yi couldn't help but feel relieved when he learned that the teacher had gone to the Zheng family. He knew that the teacher was an old man and was really afraid that the teacher would tell me something was wrong when he was talking.

On the phone, Chen Kai told Fang Yi that the jade he sold to the Zheng family had undergone a second inspection. Fang Yi could choose to charge 10 million US dollars, or he could choose to exchange this ten million into Hong Kong dollars or RMB. As long as Zheng Shaogong has an account, the funds will be in place within three days.

Fang Yi thought for a while and finally decided to store the 5 million US dollars in the bank in Hong Kong Island, and the other 5 million was exchanged for RMB and directly transferred into his bank account in the mainland. However, Fang Yi did not open an account at the Hong Kong Island Bank, and it would take a certain amount of time to handle it.

As for the materials Chen Kai took Fang Yi, the price was about 5 million US dollars, but Chen Kai no longer had much working capital, so he could only owe Fang Yi this money to wait until the jewelry store turned over before paying the money.

"Brother, you made 15 million US dollars this time? "

After Fang Yi hung up the phone, Peng Bin, who was standing beside him, could not help but show a shocked expression on his face. Five million US dollars is equivalent to more than one billion yuan, which is a considerable amount for the Peng family, who has long cut off drug dealings.

"Good luck, hehe, just luck..." Fang Yi laughed when he heard this. At this time, he also understood the meaning of a sentence he had heard after going down the mountain, that is, when there was too much money, it was just a number in the bank.

So Fang Yi now has no intuitive understanding of this money worth over 100 million yuan. He doesn't even know how to spend the money. When talking on the phone with Chen Kai, Fang Yi's face did not show any excitement.

"I have played jade, why don't you have the luck?" Hearing Fang Yi's words, Peng Bin couldn't help rolling his eyes. Few people living in Myanmar have played with raw stones, but the raw stones that Peng Bin bet on were not bought from the public market.

According to the regulations of the Myanmar government, jade mined from various mines needs to be sold uniformly on the public market. The introduction of this regulation largely restricts the autonomy and pricing rights of jade mine owners, so smuggling of raw stones is also a very popular thing in Myanmar.

The entire Southeast Asia region can be considered within the scope of the previous ancient tea-horse road. At the earliest, those horse gangs were trafficking in salt tea.

However, in modern times, most horse gangs were composed of drug traffickers, specializing in trafficking drugs from the Golden Triangle area through those forest uninhabited areas. However, there is another thing now, that is, smuggling raw stones.

Domestic raw stone merchants often invite a team of more than ten people to buy raw stones from the mineral lands of the raw stone production areas at a price lower than that of the jade public, and then transport them to the country for sale through some forests in unmanned areas. According to statistics from the Myanmar government, the raw stones smuggled out every year far exceed the number of raw stones sold on the public market.

Many people will feel strange when they see this. Those jade mine owners are not stupid. Since the price of raw stones on the public market is high, why are they willing to sell the raw stones they produce to smuggling merchants? Since they take risks and do not make money, it is better to put them on the jade public market and sell them.

This is not the case. Although the price of raw stones sold in mining areas is lower, they are still higher than the price of the public market selling price and the taxes and fees are removed.

In addition, the government will charge fees for each mine based on the amount of raw stone sold every year. In total, if the mine owners sell the raw stones themselves, the profits of selling the raw stones themselves are more than twice as high-quality raw stones sold in public markets. Therefore, the mine owners will basically only take out some cut high-quality jadeite to participate in the public markets, and most of the remaining ones are secretly sold.

The merchants who smuggled raw stones also have a lot of profit margins. The raw stones they bought from the mining area are basically all gambling materials that have not been cut. Not to mention the low price, there is no need to pay taxes. The chance of high-quality jade is also very high. As long as they are shipped back to China, they can basically be sold several times.

The merchants who smuggled jadeite raw stones are most afraid of the warlords in Myanmar, because as long as they are encountered, they will basically have one fate, that is, they will be kidnapped with the raw stones and then demand ransom from the country.

Kidnappers with conscience often put people back after receiving ransom. Those with poor professional ethics will do something to tear up even if they receive ransom. In recent years, bad raw stone merchants have died in Myanmar almost every year.

Although the Peng family has a good reputation in Myanmar, their military expenditures are also very large. Therefore, Peng Bin has also played the role of the Mountain King and kidnapped several teams of smuggling raw stones. However, he is a conscientious kidnapper and will let people go every time he receives money.
