Chapter 142 How about exchanging medicine for jade
Dao Daguang is also an old fox. In fact, today he prepared two pairs of jade bracelets of different qualities and was ready to take them out according to the situation.
If Dr. Chen collects money, he will give him a pair of bracelets of average quality; if Dr. Chen does not charge money, he will give him the best bracelets.
Of course, someone who can be a leader is a brain-producing person. He has his own skills, and he is not a brainless playboy like Chen Xia.
When Chen Xia saw the pair of bracelets in front of him, she swallowed her saliva with difficulty because it was so beautiful, especially in the sunlight, which directly blinded Chen Xia's 24k titanium alloy dog eyes.
This pair of jade bracelets is in two colors, one is green and the other is red.
Chen Xia knew the bracelet of green to the extreme, just like green juice is about to seep out, and its translucency is exactly the same as the bracelet that Yu Agou exchanged for oseltamivir.
In Ying Yuanyue's words, this is the imperial green grandmother seed, the best.
The red jade bracelet is also very watery and has a very positive color, but its translucency is not as good as green jade, but it is also the best at first glance.
"Dao, Uncle Dao Dao, how can you be so embarrassed? This is so expensive, I..."
Chen Xia was so happy that he couldn't even speak. Dao Daguang couldn't tell that doctors from other provinces especially liked these two bracelets?
So he gave it to Chen Xia without hesitation, and the words were very beautiful:
"Doctor Chen, you saved my most precious grandson. Of course, I want to give you the most precious jade. Please accept it. These two bracelets, one is glass emerald and the other is high ice red jade. They are both good products. You will definitely like it if you give it to your wife."
Do Chen Xia still have to be polite and refuse?
Of course no, what if the ethnic minorities are so honest and you pretend to be polite and refuse, then he won’t give it away?
So Chen Xia hurried over and smiled, "Thank you so much for Uncle Dao, I'll accept it."
Dao Daguang was also very happy. What is this jade? It’s just a stone.
Although their family has been doing jade business for generations, they have never regarded jade as anything good in their minds.
For them, the Dai people, the value is not as good as the rice, beautiful cloth, and the medicines that can be used to save people.
Several people politely followed and sat down in the ward. Chen Xia wanted to find out what Ruili's jade is like now.
"Uncle Dao, I don't mean to tell you that everyone in my family likes jade, so I came from Zhijiang Province this time, and I also traveled to buy some jade. Can you tell me the current price?"
Wandaguang sighed, "If you want to talk about this jade, my dad liked it at that time, because the bald wife liked it, the wealthy businessmen and senior officials in China followed him to buy it. People often come to us to buy it. It was of great value at that time.
But later when liberated, everyone seemed to suddenly stop liking jade. In other words, some state-owned jade factories came to buy some goods, and they kept the payment low every time. As for the private boss, they had never seen any of them."
Chen Xia asked strangely: "Then why don't you sell jade to foreign countries? Xiangjiang Wanwan Island is also fine."
"It's not that easy. The jade merchants from Xiangjiang, Wanwan and Southeast Asia all went to Yangon to purchase goods directly. They wouldn't come to remote areas like us. Have you ever heard of jade public auctions?"
Chen Xia shook her head and nodded.
Dao Daguang took a sip of cigarettes and continued: "That was the Burmese military and several warlords who controlled the large mines. They sold the jade they dug on the public market, selling them both open and secret materials. I heard that they could sell them at a good price, but that was also a minority."
Chen Xia asked again: "How did your raw stones come here? Shouldn't they all be sent to the public market for a high price?"
Bo Yanshuang next to him added with a smile,
"There are so many jadeite rough stones in the Burmese store every year, and foreigners purchase a very small number of them. Moreover, only the military and local warlords can eat this fat, and they all directly monopolized it.
The jade dug out by the little warlords cannot be sold on the Yangon public market. It is poor there, so I had to ship it to our Ruili, and let us process it and sell it to China, and exchange it for some supplies."
Now Chen Xia understood that anyway, the old and Myanmar are too poor, and there is no industry or tourism. If the little warlords want to survive, they can only rely on the mountains to live and rely on the water to gain water. They either sell jade or opium.
So even if the country is poor now, at least the state-owned jade factory is still purchasing it, which is better than jade being rotten in the pot.
"Uncle Dao, if I want to buy jadeite back, what price do you think is the right one?"
Dao Daguang said with a little embarrassedly: "Doctor Chen, if you want to buy some back as souvenirs, I can give some to you. If you want to buy a lot of money, you may not be able to have money. What we lack now is supplies, and money is not very useful to us."
In this poor place in Ruili, there is no medicine in the hospital, let alone anything else. Even if you have money, you can’t buy anything.
Even if they have money and go to other places to purchase supplies, it doesn’t matter if they don’t have tickets, and they won’t sell them. So for them, the best way is to barter.
Chen Xia thought about it and had cloth and food, but the amount was limited. His biggest advantage was the space hospital, so why not use this golden finger?
"Uncle Dao, I have a suggestion. This time I brought a lot of medicines. Why do you think I would treat the people in your village and use medicines to exchange jade with the villagers?"
Dao Daguang almost choked by cigarettes, and he took a breath and asked anxiously: "Doctor Chen, do you really have medicines? Doctor Chen? Do you have many medicines?"
Chen Xia said reservedly: "More, you want as many medicines as you want, and they are all imported goods. Ordinary people can't buy them even if they have money. Don't worry about where my medicine comes from and where I hide it. This is a secret."
Dao Daguang's excited nose and mouth were spraying smoke:
"Yes, do you know how difficult it is for us Dai people to see a doctor? When we get sick, we basically wait for death. My father just has diarrhea. In the end, the people are thinner and die. If you can give us the best medicine, I guarantee that our village and the people from several nearby villages will exchange the best jade with you."
Uncle Dao Daguang said, and then he held Chen Xia's hand tightly.
He was excited. He had to know how many years their sister had been suing, and no city doctor had ever been sent to the hospital. They were used to praying to the Buddha when they were sick and regaining their health by luck.
They themselves also know that a minor problem that can be solved if a minor illness can be treated in time is because there is no medicine, which often ends up being severe and the whole village goes to a meal.
