Chapter 1492 1492. Fellow (15)

Ge Danwei was very good at observing words and expressions, and when he saw that Li Du was unhappy, he stopped talking, and honestly held a teacup and sipped tea.

Li Du knew more than Ge Danwei.

Hpakant is a famous historical pit in the jade mine. Among the six fields in Hongshawadi, its mining time is the earliest, but it is not as exaggerated as what Ge Danwei said. It started mining two thousand years ago.

According to historical research, the jade mines in Pagan can be traced back to the 14th and 15th centuries. At that time, they mainly supplied gems to the royal family, and the people were not allowed to flow in and out of jadeite.

At that time, the ore was mainly obtained by manual mining, and life in the mining area was very difficult. The royal family did not regard miners as human beings, and for a long time they were assigned to mine by criminals.

The work they do is tiring and dangerous, but the things they find are extremely precious. This kind of contradiction makes the miners continue to take risks.

A long time ago, when they dug up good jade, they would hide it, and then secretly dug it out at night to take it away and sell it in other countries.

But there are very few people who can escape successfully. Most of them will be caught and sentenced to death to deter the workers. It can be said that the history of jade excavation is a bloody history of miners' misery.

Beginning in 1992, Hongshawadi allowed large companies to enter, and then modern machinery and equipment were used for mining, which greatly accelerated the mining of rough jadeite.

According to statistics, in recent years, the annual output of jadeite has been around 7,000 tons, which has increased compared with previous years, but the quality of rough jadeite has decreased drastically, so the government has to control it.

Li Du read a piece of information, in fact, the emerald ore in the old Pagan area is still enough to be mined for 40 to 50 years, but it is getting harder and harder to come across high-quality ore in the future.

High-quality ore is thin-skinned, mainly gray-white or yellow-white in appearance, fine crystallization, good seed, high transparency, full color, large in size, ranging from a few kilograms to hundreds of kilograms, in the form of gravels of various sizes. It used to be the source of emeralds main force.

Lao Pagan was once famous for producing black black sand with a black leather shell that looks like coal. This is a high-quality rough jade stone, which belongs to water wool, which means that there is a good water head hidden underneath, but all of them have been harvested.

In addition to these, Li Du also knew a lot of information about jadeite ore, but it was useless. This industry needs actual combat, but it is not easy to memorize some information.

Of course, what Li Du remembered was nothing compared to the entire jadeite industry, and he didn't remember anything in particular, because this knowledge was useless to him. Whether it's a waste rock or a gem, he can see it with his eyes.

There were quite a few people drinking tea in the afternoon, and the dozen or so tables in the teahouse were all occupied.

Li Du and Ge Danwei are very special here no matter their conversation or appearance. Veterans can know that they are rookies after hearing a few words from them.

Rookies are popular everywhere, because they represent people who are stupid and rich.

Soon, a middle-aged man with a shiny head sat down, and he said with a smile: "You two little brothers are polite, can you come over and set up a table? I have a pot of good tea here, brothers, if you are interested, you can taste it."

Li Du nodded and packed up the backpack on the chair. The bald man sat down and waved. The waiter brought up a more elegant teapot. The green tea was poured out, and immediately a fragrance diffused with the water vapor.

"Where did you come from, little brother?" The man took a sip of tea and asked, "You look very strange, and the accent is from us Chinese, right? Oh, brother, I'm taking the liberty, let me introduce myself first, my name is Lu Dayou , Big guys like to call me Dalu, all roads lead to wealth, haha.”

Li Du smiled and said: "I am from Nanshan. I went to Germany for development two years ago. This time I came to Pagan to visit at the invitation of a friend."

Lu Dayou said with a smile: "Oh, brothers from Nanshan? We are half fellows, and my wife is from Nanshan. This is really fate."

Li Du also smiled: "Fate is fate."

After another two sips of tea, Lu Dayou talked about Nanshan people's sentiments to military sentiments, and then from agriculture to industry. He was good at familiarity and had a good way of chatting, which quickly brought their relationship closer.

Li Du guessed that he was a liar or something, so he chatted with him, and when asked about his own information, he said, but it must be fabricated.

Lu Dayou didn't care, and continued to talk and talk. After a pot of tea was finished, he got to the point: "Brother Su, are you here for Jade this time?"

Li Du nodded: "Yes, I'm going to get married to my partner, so I want to get a piece of emerald carving and something serious as a wedding gift."

Lu Dayi patted the table and gave a thumbs up: "Okay, Brother Su, we Nanshan men are affectionate and righteous, I admire you. But to put it bluntly, it may be difficult for you to get a good stone here when you are new here. .”

Li Du pointed to the outside and said, "I see that there are quite a lot of rocks outside."

Lu Dayou sneered: "Those stones? Then they are really stones, serious stones, why did you buy them? To build a pigsty? Jade can't be dropped on the street outside, it is used to deceive newcomers .”

Li Du asked cooperatively, "Then what should we do?"

Lu Dayou put the satchel on the table, and said: "I have a stone here, which is a good fortune, do you want to see it?"

Seeing this, Li Du couldn't help laughing, the local scammers were too clumsy, how could he be fooled with just a few words?

He smiled and said, "Okay, take it out and have a look."

Lu Dayou opened the bag and took out a yellow-skinned stone that was a circle smaller than an adult's fist, then wiped it carefully and said, "This is a piece of material I got from Damakan, take a look?"

Damakan is a famous venue in the six major venues. There is a name for the material for business trips, called "ten fogs and nine waters", which means that there is a layer of fog inside the stone, and then the fog spreads, the fog wraps the color, and the fog eats. Color, skin and flesh are indistinguishable.

This place is rich in small wool, such small stones of about one kilogram are very common and very popular.

Li Du touched the stone and released space-time flying insects to take a look, and then he was stunned.

Lu Dayou is not a liar, unless he happens to get a good piece of jade to cheat, the middle of this stone is moist, the upper layer is orange and the lower layer is aqua blue, and there is emerald inside!

Seeing the surprise on Li Du's face, Lu Dayou said with a smile, "How about my rock? Have you seen the way?"

Li Du shook his head and said, "Sorry, Brother Dalu, I don't know much about this industry, so I can't see much, but is this rock good?"

Lu Dayou smiled, and said: "Absolutely, this is definitely a good material, the fellow will not cheat the fellow, if you are interested, I will resell it to you?"

Ge Danwei gave Li Du winks and coughed. He also saw that Li Du was tempted, so he reminded him to calm down and not be fooled. There is no doubt that he and Li Du had the same opinion before, that Lu Dayou is a liar.
