My Last Girlfriend

"Oh, Boss Li, you are much younger than I thought." A sausage-mouthed female jeweler came up with a smile, and Inas came up with a purple veil that is unique to Xinjiang women, her eyes A smile appeared inside.

"Li Jian, you are here."

"Inas, I haven't seen you for a long time, I almost can't recognize you. Haha." I smiled and greeted Inas. Inas politely shook hands with me and Avaha. Just ask us to go to the hotel to talk in detail.

I saw many buildings similar to Islamic churches on the road, with domed columns and arched door openings. The colors are neat, basically green or brown. The most striking thing is the tower-shaped circular buildings of Islamic churches...

Looking at the church-like buildings outside, I don’t know what happened. I suddenly remembered the most impressive thing about Islam in the 21st century, that is, Islam seems to advocate polygamy...

I don't know how to think about it, maybe it's because the wretched cells in my brain have flooded again.

Of course, apart from me, I don't know if Xiaobai and the female wolf head have such thoughts.

The Xinjiang hotels in Women’s World are quite distinctive. Even hotels and hotels are similar to churches, with basically the same style, but a slightly smaller scale. It seems that the women here are very religious.

When I asked Inas, I realized that in Xinjiang, almost all ethnic minorities except the Han believe in Islam. Since childhood, they will accept Islam and become devout Muslims.

After getting to know the ethnic customs in Xinjiang, I entered the negotiation stage with those jewelry merchants.

The main content of the negotiation is about the development and collection of Hetian jade. There are many large and small jewelry companies and jewelry associations in Xinjiang. The three jewelers I negotiated this time were all from the middle-sized jewelry companies in Xinjiang. It’s a small jewelry company called Tyrone, and it hasn’t been a long time since it started to develop gemstones, just a few years.

The industry of selling gemstones is very deep. But the most important thing is that it needs two points. One is that you need to find good gems, and the second is that you need to find people who can buy gems. Gems are a scarce resource and an absolute seller's market. It does not mean that you will be sold to you if you are rich. People have to test your strength and credibility, which all take time to accumulate.

The jewelry circle has an allocation system all over the world. For example, we have been working on a case (list) in the past two days. A 6.5-carat colored diamond is required to be sold within a few days. This is a test of your ability. Once sold, you can get one step closer to the core circle. The closer you get, the more you can get gems that you can't see in the market.

Liaoning Xiuyan jade, Xinjiang Hetian jade and aquamarine, Guangdong’s southern jade, Henan Nanyang’s Dushan jade, Fujian’s Shoushan stone, Zhejiang’s Qingtian stone and bloodstone, Hubei’s turquoise, Fushun’s coal jade, amber, and Inner Mongolia’s agate are all It is a world-famous jewellery. Of course I am now a newcomer in this circle, but my emerald mine in Yunnan is not a small mine. It is the largest emerald mine discovered in the past few decades.

Of course, the sales volume of my gems is only average. On top of my head, there are many gem merchants who are more successful than me.

And this time I came to Xinjiang, on the one hand, I was discussing with these gem companies about buying the gem market.

There are generally two types of gem companies like mine. One is to buy gems from local gem merchants in Xinjiang, and the second is to hire mining teams spontaneously, buy excavators, hire appraisal experts, and go to the Xinjiang Department of Land and Resources. After applying for the mining rights, go to the excavation site for mining, and all expenses and risks during the period shall be borne by yourself.

In comparison, the latter's profit is much greater than the former, but the risk is also greater. If you can't dig gems, you have to bear a series of risk losses. But once a large gemstone mine can be excavated, it can also be profitable.

My final plan is to mine on my own while cooperating with these jewelers. When I don’t have my own mineral source yet, I will first purchase gems from these jewelers. After I found my own mineral source, I could also purchase the gems I was missing from these jewelers based on the type of minerals I found. In other words, this is a mutually beneficial process.

The whole negotiation process went smoothly. I lack contacts and understand Xinjiang’s terrain and resources. So I made a little concession on some specific small projects, so everyone was happy.

"Boss Li, it's really nice to have a discussion with you. It's been a long time since I saw someone as bold as you."

"Hehe, I am also very happy."

The female jewelers with sausage mouth smiled and shook hands with me, and ended the two-hour jewellery negotiation with me, and I also shook hands with them with a smile. Of course Xiaobai also shook hands with the jewelers, but from beginning to end, Xiaobai didn't know the content of our negotiations. A lot of professional data had already made her dizzy. In fact, I am almost the same. Fortunately, Awaha knows a lot in this respect, and I am also relieved a lot.

"Li Jian, I have already introduced the jeweler for you. If you have nothing else, I will go first." Since I successfully negotiated with the jewelers, there will be nothing wrong with Inas, so the first time Back to Hemu, northern Xinjiang, to live his own grazing life.

Looking at the back of Inas who was leaving in purple gauze, I really couldn't understand why Inas, who already had such a large asset, would choose to go to her hometown to live herding life instead.

It was not until not long after that, when I unexpectedly came to that ancient country like a paradise, I realized that in this world, a truly free life is far from what money can buy...

After discussing the possibility of cooperation, I said that I would leave for Hotan tomorrow to see the gem mine over there. After all, it is too late today, and it is impossible to go to Hotan.

"Boss Li, tomorrow morning we can take an off-road vehicle to Hetian to see the gem mine. I think you will be very interested." The female gem merchant leaned forward and flattered me with a smile.

"Why not take the train directly to Hotan, but take an off-road vehicle?" I asked in a puzzled manner.

The female gem merchant with sausage mouth smiled and said:

"Boss Li, have you forgotten what date is today?"

"October 2nd...Oh, I understand." I slapped my forehead and realized that today is the National Day. Naturally, there are many people taking the train. The train tickets to Hotan must have been sold out tomorrow. Of course I can't go. It's more convenient to go with an off-road vehicle.

"There is a desert road from Turpan to Hotan on the edge of the Tarim Basin. You can leave tomorrow morning. You cannot buy a train ticket during the National Day. Secondly, the gem mountain mine we are going to is not in Hotan, but in Hotan. Near Bayin Dunleng, in recent years, the purple material in Hotan has been mined almost, and the mining area has been extended to the east. The train does not go directly to Bayin Dunleng. The desert road leads directly to the north of Bayin Dunleng, so off-road vehicles More convenient."

"Really. Haha, I am not very clear about this. But I believe you, in this case, the off-road vehicle is still free from your arrangement."

"Well. Although we can't compare to the traditional gem merchants, we are native Xinjiang people. We know the topography of southern Xinjiang very well. Don't worry, boss Li. I think our cooperation can go smoothly. "

Sausage Mouth shook hands with me, grinned, and I smiled.

"Of course... the premise is that you don't encounter desert thieves and mutants." Sausage Mouth added jokingly.

Hearing these words from Sausage Mouth, my face suddenly stiffened, and my heart gradually sank.

"Desert Pirate, mutant? What is that?" I asked in a puzzled manner.

Sausage mouth smiled, blinked and said:

"Haha, this is just a joke, we won't encounter it."

"Haha, isn't it? However, I'm still curious, what kind of mutant you are talking about...?" I couldn't help but curiously said.

I really don’t know the sausage mouth, so I smiled and said:

"So you don’t know Boss Li. It’s a well-known thing. Desert thieves are some thieves who haunt the Taklimakan Desert. They occasionally hang out on desert highways and rob some passers-by. However, those desert thieves are still He knows the rules, he will not kill casually, and the desert thief hasn’t appeared in five or six years, so don’t worry about Boss Li. As for the mutant... it’s even more a mythical legend, it’s all fifteen years ago. It's up."

"Can you tell me something?" I asked curiously.

Sausage Mouth is a generous and unrestrained person, she said nothing, she opened her heart and told me:

"Haha. This is a long story. It is said that there is a huge oasis and a lake in the center of the Taklimakan Desert. Almost two hundred years ago, the Han people built a secret base in the center of the Taklimakan Desert in no man's land. It also conducted some secret experiments, manufactured some biological and chemical weapons and other things, and built a nuclear power plant."

"Later, for unknown reasons, the nuclear power plant exploded and caused a nuclear leak. The experimental base and biological and chemical weapons were all destroyed. The center of the Taklimakan Desert became a forbidden zone for no one to approach. However, it is said that it was because of the nuclear leak. Because of this, some species in the desert oasis have all mutated, including many people who survived in that experimental base, and turned into blue-skinned, inhuman and ghostly mutants."

"In the past, someone has witnessed mutants with blue skin and yellow hair appearing in the desert. They bite when you see them. It's very scary. Nuclear radiation plus the legend of mutants, and the sandstorms that blew up around the desert all the year round led to the final No one dares to approach that area. So the center of the Taklimakan Desert is still a restricted area."

"Of course, whether it is a mutant or a desert thief, they are rare rumors. Boss Li doesn't need to care."
