Chapter 442 Houjiang Jade Field(1/2)
Zhang Lang came to another client and saw three soldiers sitting on the sofa in the reception room with their backs straight.
Obviously, all the three soldiers knew Zhang Lang. When they saw Zhang Lang coming in, the three soldiers stood up and saluted Zhang Lang.
"Director Zhang! I am the head of Pengcheng Office of the relevant national department! My name is Wang Minghui!" One of the middle-aged soldiers introduced himself like Zhang Lang.
Zhang Lang knew that his whereabouts had always been under the surveillance of relevant state departments. Not to mention every move, every move was under the surveillance. At least, such uncovered itineraries were under the control of relevant departments.
Zhang Lang also understood this kind of behavior of the country. After all, he was considered the only one in China. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was rich enough to compete with a country. If this were put in the past, no matter which dynasty, he would have been slaughtered as a fat sheep.
It is considered as a grand ceremony for Mr. Deng tolerate his existence.
"Hello! Director Wang! I don't know what to ask me for?" Zhang Lang replied with a military salute and asked with a smile.
"I came to Director Feng to find Director Zhang for the purpose of jadeite rough stones. We have cleared the relationship. Director Feng asked me to ask Director Zhang, do you still need to go to the mine to choose it yourself?" Wang Minghui was very straightforward and asked straight to the point when the people from Fude Branch left.
Choose yourself?
Is there such a good thing?
Of course, it is necessary to choose something yourself.
It is not so regular to produce raw stones in jade ore, so what is the point of being a good person?
For a large-scale purchase like him, you will have to mix forty or fifty brick materials into one hundred jadeite rough stones.
No one guarantees that there are jadeites in the remaining fifty or sixty yuan.
There is an old saying in the industry of jadeite rough stone, saying that it is hard for immortals to break the jade.
Jade is surrounded by thick stone skins. Even the most advanced X-rays in later generations cannot see through. It is impossible to judge whether there is jade in the raw stones or what kind of jade it is.
Zhang Lang wanted to see if it was really hard to break the jade.
See if his spiritual sense can see through the stone skin of the jadeite raw stone.
"Oh, you've got everything in touch? When will you choose?" Zhang Lang asked with a smile.
"This depends on Director Zhang's time, you can do it anytime!"
"Okay! Let's set off when I finish my work these two days!" Zhang Lang nodded and said.
"Okay, Director Zhang! This is our phone number. When you have time, call me and I will arrange someone to accompany you to Myanmar!" Wang Minghui was very straightforward, raised his hand and saluted, turned around and left.
After seeing off the people from relevant state departments, Zhang Lang returned to another reception room.
Everyone has tasted instant noodles and is discussing their feelings fiercely.
"Old squad leader! Dear leaders, let's go to the workshop to visit? If you have any questions, let's discuss them while watching!" Zhang Lang stretched out his hand and invited.
"Okay! I can't wait!" Mayor Xu stood up and walked out.
Zhang Lang took Mayor Xu and his group to the disinfection room of the food factory workshop.
"Director Zhang, what is this for? How do you have to change your clothes when you enter the workshop?"
"Yes! Our food factory produces food after all, and all our workshops are sterile workshops. Therefore, when entering the workshop, you must undergo necessary disinfection and change of sterile clothes! We have strict regulations and requirements for this!" Zhang Lang explained with a smile.
"This regulation is good! It makes people feel relieved after hearing it! Do all foreign factories require this?"
"No! As far as I understand, factories in Xiangjiang, Taiwan and Japan do not have this requirement. This is what our chairman specifically emphasizes! We say that when we do food processing, we must be worthy of our conscience! We must be a conscientious enterprise!" Wang Guanghui continued from the side.
"Oh!? Did Director Zhang ask?" Mayor Xu turned his head to look at Zhang Lang who was changing his clothes.
"Yes! Many people didn't think of this regulation at the beginning. It was a rigid regulation made by the chairman! Either obey or leave!" Wang Guanghui replied.
"Well! This is also like Director Zhang's style of doing things! You can mention opinions, but you must obey unconditionally!" County Magistrate Tong smiled.
"Okay, don't praise me there. Don't worry, I won't blush! Change my clothes and go into the workshop!" Zhang Lang changed his clothes and urged with a smile.
·····················
"Wolf cub! I just heard that Mr. Wang say that this kind of instant noodles is in short supply now?" Mayor Xu leaned close to Zhang Lang and asked in a low voice.
"Old squad leader! You don't want me to go back to the Northeast to build a food factory to produce instant noodles, right?" Zhang Lang knew what Mayor Xu was trying to do and asked with a smile.
"Yes! You see, we have been out for more than half a month, so we have to have some results, right?" Mayor Xu said with a smile.
"It's not impossible! If you really want to build a food factory, I would recommend building it in Heishui County!"
"Heishui County? Why? You can't just think about your hometown! Lingyun City is also your hometown!" Mayor Xu was unhappy.
"Old squad leader! Heishui County is also under your rule! I put it in Heishui County not because Heishui County is my hometown. First, the transportation there is convenient, and secondly, the food factory can also be combined with the agricultural demonstration park in Heishui County! The primary agricultural products of the agricultural demonstration park are directly processed!" Zhang Lang explained with a wry smile.
In the past, the mountain doctrine was brought from the troops to the local area, and the mountain doctrine in the local area was also very serious.
"You! Your mouth is really said, I doubt whether you have gone to war or learned crosstalk over the years!" Mayor Xu pointed at Zhang Lang with his fingers.
"Haha!" Zhang Lang laughed twice without responding.
Zhang Lang continued to take everyone to visit the workshop.
·················
After staying in Pengcheng for a day, Zhang Lang took Mayor Xu onto the train to Shencheng.
Zhang Lang called Wang Guanghui from the Pengcheng Office of the relevant department.
Then, under Wang Guanghui's arrangement, he followed a lieutenant colonel to board the train to Yunnan.
When I arrived in Yunnan, I transferred to a large military truck. The road conditions in China these days are really unspeakable.
Fortunately, Zhang Lang has been accustomed to this kind of road conditions over the years. After walking around for two days, he finally arrived at Xishuangbanna, the southernmost end of the border with Myanmar.
Passing the border inspection station, entering Myanmar.
Myanmar is the full name of the Socialist Republic of the Federation of Myanmar. Most areas of the country have a tropical monsoon climate, similar to Vietnam's climatic terrain. They are both mountainous and have a very large forest coverage area. They are one of the most widely distributed countries in the world, with a forest coverage area of 52.3%.
Myanmar is rich in mineral resources, including oil, natural gas, tungsten, tin, lead, silver, nickel, antimony, gold, iron, chromium, jade, etc.
But what really makes everyone remember is the jadeite of this country.
Myanmar is the main source of jadeite, and the best jadeite is produced within a range of hundreds of square kilometers in the area of the Lulu River, a tributary of the Irrawaddy River in Myanmar. As the saying goes, "Gold is easy to obtain, but jadeite is hard to find." The uniqueness of jadeite's production, the complexity of mineralization, and the uncertainty of output make jadeite more rare than diamonds and more collectible.
It can be said that the best jadeite production in the world is Myanmar.
In fact, Myanmar's gems are also very famous, but they are blocked by jade, and ordinary people don't know much about it. Only those who are actually making jewelry know that Myanmar's gems are also one of the best gems in the world.
From the perspective of resources, nature loves Myanmar very much.
Unfortunately, Myanmar does not know how to cherish it. The country has been in war for many years and has always been under the management of the military government.
The domestic military government is also divided into several factions, and the military forces of each faction are supported by a great power.
The reason why Zhang Lang was able to go directly to the Myanmar Jade Mining District to prepare ore this time was because one of the military forces had the shadow of relevant departments behind it.
Although it has something to do with a Myanmar army, I have to be careful.
Not only the lieutenant colonel, but also a squad of scout soldiers accompanied him to Myanmar.
"Director Zhang, are you still used to this kind of road?" asked the lieutenant colonel, who had already changed into casual clothes, with a smile.
"It's okay! I've been on the border of Yunnan and Tibet in recent years!" Zhang Lang smiled.
"Oh! By the way, look at me, I actually forgot that Director Zhang was a first-class combat hero who came down from the Sino-Vietnam battlefield!" Lieutenant Colonel was also having nothing to say.
"Haha! What kind of combat hero am I considered? At best, I am just a demobilized soldier! Those honors were exchanged for their lives by comrades!" Zhang Lang turned his head and looked at the lieutenant colonel and said seriously.
"Director Zhang is too modest! I have walked this road more than a dozen times! But every time I walk, I am still scared!"
"What? It's hard to walk on the mountain roads in Myanmar?"
"It's very difficult to walk! Now this section can be opened to traffic, and if you walk for another ten miles, you can't walk at all! In the past, before the founding of the People's Republic of China, you all rely on horse gangs to check in when you come to China from Myanmar! In many places, you can't even walk on horses, and you rely on manpower to carry them!"
"Well! This is true! Not only Myanmar, but also Vietnam! The same is true in our country's Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau! It is said that the Shu Road is more difficult than climbing to the sky. I think the person who said this has never been to Myanmar and Vietnam! The road here is much more difficult than the Shu Road!"
After walking around, the group finally arrived at Houjiangchangkou, located in the Kandi River with difficulty.
Houjiang Changkou is one of the top ten Changkou in Myanmar and the most chaotic mining area. It turns out that the jade mines here are mined by ordinary people, and they were not owned by the government until the 1970s.
It is conceivable that the people are actually some dark forces controlling the mining area.
Since jade has appeared and been recognized by people, it is regarded as a precious gem. It can be said that every jadeite rough stone is full of sin, and every jadeite rough stone is covered with blood.
"Boss Zhang! This is General Wu Bo, the owner of the mine! General Wu is Boss Zhang who bought jadeite raw stones!" Lieutenant Colonel introduced to both parties.
According to the agreement at the beginning, Zhang Lang is a big boss in Xiangjiang.
"Haha! Welcome! Welcome! Boss Zhang! Don't dislike me this is a small place!" General Wu Bo laughed and walked forward to hug him.
"Haha! I'll ask General Wu Bo to take care of him!" Zhang Lang also smiled and hugged General Wu Bo.
"Come on! Thank you all along the way! I have prepared the food and drinks, please invite me in the house! Let's take a night off first and go to the ore treatment tomorrow!" General Wu Bo warmly invited Zhang Lang into the house.
"Boss Zhang is so lucky today! I just fought the tiger until I was still there! Let's have a tiger banquet today!" General Wu Bo said with a laugh.
The general looked very rude and couldn't even wear a military uniform well, looking like the defeated Kuomintang army.
But Zhang Lang knew that all this was superficial, or that General Wu Bo was dressed in uniform. If he was really as rude as he was, he would not live for so long, and he would not be a general.
It will not receive support from relevant departments.
At the dinner table, General Wu Bo warmly welcomed everyone to drink and eat meat, very enthusiastic.
In General Wu Bo's eyes, Zhang Lang is a representative sent by the Chinese government.
