Myitkyina City is equivalent to a Chinese provincial capital in Myanmar.
However, there is no such thing as a provincial city here. It is like a large town. When you exit the simple bus station, you can see many local vendors on the side of the road, selling items with local characteristics to passengers leaving the station.
Bai Gui wore a big white undershirt and led the way. When he came before, Bai Gui had already explained to Li Yan. In places like Myanmar, foreigners like them must not wear too high-end, otherwise they will be taken by the local ruffians, and I am afraid they will be wiped out.
At home that day, Bai Gui had also seen Li Yan's greatness, and he could easily break the stone with one hand.
However, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Bai Gui still suggested Li Yan in this way.
Of course, Li Yan would not be big. He wore an old second hand costume today, and he bought it for 10 yuan in a small town on the border of China and Myanmar.
In this outfit, Li Yan also deliberately became short. Although his body is still tall and vigorous, there is not much difference between the costumes and the Burmese in front of him.
Because Myitkyina is an important town in northern Myanmar, and it is not far from Huaxia, there are often business contacts, so when the vendors here meet Huaxia customers, they can also speak Mandarin with local characteristics.
"Sir, do you want to stay?" A fat woman greeted her, glanced at Li Yan intentionally or unintentionally, and asked both of them.
"No more, thank you." Li Yan didn't say a word, but Bai Gui answered first.
Usually because of business reasons, it is not once or twice that I have come to Myanmar, and I have been pawned a few times.
These Burmese soliciting by the bus station are not good birds. Bai Gui has booked two rooms in the local hotel in advance. In Bai Gui's eyes, it is the safest place.
"Sir, we have good prices here, and there are beautiful little girls..." the fat woman said again, seeming not to give up.
"Really no need, thank you." After Bai Gui interrupted the fat woman's words directly, he led Li Yan to a three-wheeled roadside car.
"Brother Li, get in the car, the journey is exhausted, let's go to the hotel to relax, and I will give you a detailed description of the situation in the gray card mining area later." Bai Gui got on the tricycle and faced Li Yan.
Li Yan nodded and sat down.
Bai Gui told the tricycle driver his destination.
The tricycle driver, stepping on the accelerator, drove rumblingly along the bumpy ground towards the distance.
Before arriving in Myitkyina, Bai Gui and Li Yan mentioned some situations in Myanmar.
Myanmar is a special country, similar to China’s system, but Myanmar is a place in the Golden Triangle. It has been barren for many years, coupled with a small land and a large population. It is an agricultural country in itself, but the supply of crops is not up to the world standard. Therefore, many people in Myanmar have engaged in many side jobs in order to make a living.
For example, it is legal in Myanmar to grow opium poppy, which can extract opium. The huge profits of drugs have attracted many people. Among the civilian population, many drug dealers have armed themselves with gunfire, and there are many transnational drug trafficking gangs in Myanmar, which has also contributed to the chaotic situation in northern Myanmar for many years.
The Chinese account for 2% of the population in Myanmar. Local Chinese and Burmese natives are not friendly, and conflicts often occur.
But the Burmese military still takes care of the Chinese, not as harsh as other Southeast Asian countries.
The living conditions of Burmese natives are indeed worrying.
Like in the Huika mining area, Bai Gui mentioned that there are many slave laborers.
These laborers worked day and night, but they exchanged meals that were so simple that they couldn't maintain their physical strength and beat the foremen with the whips and sticks.
The raw materials mined were taken down by the foremen. When the foremen drove a piece of real jade, they became rich overnight, and behind the huge profits were the bitterness and blood and tears of many laborers.
After arriving at the hotel, Li Yan gave the tricycle driver the fare, and then came to the reserved room with Bai Gui.
Putting the suitcase on the ground made Li Yan a lot easier.
After taking a cold shower, there was a knock on the door.
"Brother Li, I'm Bai Gui." It seems that Bai Gui is also ready.
Li Yan put on his clothes and opened the door.
After Bai Gui entered the door, he handed Li Yan a cigarette brought from Huaxia, and sat on the sofa.
"Brother Li, when shall we leave?"
"Tomorrow, Brother Bai has been tired for such a long time. Today is to take a good rest." Li Yan has a strong body, but it doesn't matter, but Bai Gui is an ordinary person. He accompanied Li Yan all the way to Mi from Longjing. In China, apart from taking a nap along the way, he never had a good rest.
"Well, let's raise our spirits and set off tomorrow." Bai Gui smiled.
After lighting the cigarette, Bai Gui said with a face turned straight up; "Brother Li, how much money did you bring on this trip?"
Li Yan heard the words, and hesitated in his eyes. When it comes to money, Li Yankari still has an eight-million-dollar figure, but if such a sum is said, I don't know if it is enough to buy raw materials.
But now that Bai Gui asked, Li Yan was also frank and unfair, and told the approximate number.
Seeing Li Yan’s worries, Bai Gui smiled and said, “Thousands and eight million are enough. I believe that according to your eyesight, Brother Li, the amount of capital is worth the money. However, I have to remind you. You just say, in the gray card mining area, you can’t swipe your card. You have to pay the cash directly. If you can, I suggest you withdraw the money today. You don’t need to convert it into Burmese currency, just use RMB."
"Take out all the money?" Li Yan raised his brows and his face condensed.
Tens of millions of renminbi are not easy to carry. It is too much an eye-opener for him and Bai Gui to carry tens of millions of yuan.
"Hey, Brother Li, don’t worry. There is a Chinese bank in the local area. The money you withdraw will be escorted to the Huika mining area by a special banknote truck for backup. Even if you don’t spend it, it can be shipped back. . It’s just that some handling fees will be charged.” Bai Gui saw Li Yan’s worries and said with a smile.
"It turned out to be so." Li Yan sighed in relief.
When Bai Gui said the next sentence, his face sank, and it meant that there would be thunder before it rained: "But, Brother Li, don't relax your vigilance. I know the mine owner of the gray card mining area. The locals do business well. They are not the ones who worry about them, and people who buy enough raw materials like us to make a gamble."
