Chapter 29 (1/2)

After breakfast, the three went straight to the bus station. There was a long-distance bus from Kunming to Lishi.

There are more than 700 kilometers from Kunming to Lishi, and the long-distance bus takes more than ten hours to arrive.

While waiting for the bus, Guo Xiang found a phone nearby and called back to southern Yunnan.

It's time to go to Gu Zhennan at this time. If you don't call back, Wang Guiying will be worried. When you ask Gu Zhennan that he hasn't been in the past, he will reveal his secret.

So first report peace, Wang Guiying, they will certainly not spend money to make phone calls.

Call the village committee and ask the village head to tell her that she has arrived at Gu Zhennan safely, so that the family don't worry. The village head promised to tell her.

Getting on the bus and being bored on the road, Yi Zichen took out a book about jade to relieve Guo Xiang's boredom, because the main purpose of this trip is to buy jade and let her know in advance.

Jade here refers to jadeite.

South Yunnan is the main distribution center of jadeite materials. Many people think that South Yunnan produces jadeite. In fact, it is not. 95% of the world's Jadeite comes from Myanmar, and China also imports from Myanmar.

However, because Southern Yunnan is adjacent to Myanmar and has inherent geographical advantages, many people buy jadeite from southern Yunnan and mistakenly believe that southern Yunnan produces jadeite.

The most important cities are Lishi and Tengxian.

This time Guo Xiang and they went to Lishi.

Yi Zichen probably told Guo Xiang about the current jade market in Lishi.

In fact, it is illegal to buy gambling stones, because at this time, Lishi has not formed a legitimate jade market.

It is still in the early 1980s. China Myanmar relations are tense, the economy and trade have not been liberalized, and most of the jadeite raw stones are smuggled and imported.

However, because of the huge profits of stone and jade, many businessmen flocked to it, and over time an underground gambling quarry was formed.

Guo Xiang knew that at this time, southern Yunnan was still in chaos and an underground gambling quarry. No wonder Yi Zichen wanted to hire two bodyguards.

”Why do you have a way?” Guo Xiang couldn't help being curious.

”In fact, my ancestors were engaged in jade business, but it gradually declined due to various reasons in the turbulent times. Now that the reform and opening up country encourages the private economy, the elders at home want to go back to their old business. I'm also here to explore the way. ” Yi Zichen said.

Guo Xiang nodded. At this time, he had this sense of management. It seems that he is worthy of a business family.

In the previous life, my mother began to do business in the early 1990s. Later, she also made a world, so opportunity is very important.

The bus didn't arrive in Lishi until more than eight o'clock in the evening.

At this time, Lishi is not a prosperous tourist city like later generations, but a very small county-level city. Like most small cities in the 1980s, it is old and messy, not to mention it is a border city, which is more unstable.

After getting off the bus, the three found a small hotel near the bus station to stay first. It was already late. They had a rest and went to the gambling stone market tomorrow.

After dinner, Guo Xiang returned to his room to have a rest. He planned to take a bath. After sitting in the car for a few days, he was almost rotten.

There was no hot water in the small hotel. I took a cold bath. Fortunately, the weather was very hot and the cold water didn't feel cold.

After taking a bath, Guo Xiang changed her clothes, but she still wore trousers. First, the small hotel gives people a feeling of uncleanness. Second, she has no sense of security in this place. If there is a situation, she can run away in clothes and trousers at any time.

When I slept until midnight, I suddenly heard a noise from the window. Because it was hot, I didn't close the window, leaving a gap for air.

Guo Xiang's ears stood up. The place was too chaotic. She slept very alert and woke up as soon as there was a noise.

The window was opened with a ”wow”, and a dark figure jumped in.

Guo xiangteng sat up and just said ”who?”

His mouth was suddenly covered and a dagger was put on his neck.

”Don't move!” A low male voice came from behind.
