"The main reason for the poor environment in the mining area is the profit problem." Instead of following his team, the Chinese American man followed Tang Yifan and seemed to remind him intentionally or unintentionally.

"Oh? Is the profit from mining very poor? " Tang Yifan was slightly stunned.

There are many veins in Myanmar, far more than Yunyang. The quality of jade is also very good. A large number of stone gamblers come to Myanmar every year.

It can be said that jewelry and jade have propped up half of Myanmar's economy. Tang Yifan is the first to say that the mining profit is low.

The Chinese American man sighed: "mining is not as simple as ordinary gambling stones. The amount of work is huge, and the follow-up investment is amazing. Many warlords and rich businessmen have gone bankrupt before they can open the jade mine."

"Therefore, in order to save money, many mine owners not only try their best to squeeze labor, but also save safety facilities in all aspects."

Speaking of this, a trace of pity flashed in the eyes of the Chinese American man, saying: "the geological survey staff like us usually do not have too much danger. Compared with those workers, they are so lucky."

"Moreover, the management of Myanmar's mining areas is very strict. In order to prevent other forces from infiltrating, those warlords set up layers of control cards, and even sent troops to garrison. This is not a small expense."

Half of Myanmar's economic income depends on the jewelry and jade industry, and the sale of ore veins has become a source of tax for the local government.

As a result, the price of vein sales is high, and the follow-up cost of mining is also astonishing, which makes many warlords and rich businessmen unwilling to invest in mining workers.

They can only do some business of killing chickens to get their eggs, constantly forcing them to work.

Each warlord was very strict with the jade mine he was in charge of, but they were not willing to build the mining area.

The stone roads lead to the depths of the mining area. The staff turned and said, "everyone, from now on, the gambling activity will officially begin."

As soon as his voice fell, many gambling teams rushed forward for fear that they might miss the best time to survey.

And the Chinese American man also had to complain to Tang Yifan and chase his team.

Once the gambling activities start, the government will not intervene too much. It will only allow all parties to survey their own geology and choose their own mining areas and veins for auction.

Tang Yifan led the dark night to a corner and could not help but move his brow.

When the vein was sold to warlords and rich merchants, the government would send people to carry out some symbolic mining.

If a section of ore vein can produce jadeite raw stone, then this section of ore vein will rise sharply, and the auction price will naturally be too high, and even drive the price of surrounding ore veins.

This is similar to semi gambling on wool, cutting out a corner or a piece of noodles. Once it turns green, it will be sold immediately. As for the subsequent rise or fall, it depends on the luck of the buyer.

The scale of the gambling activity held by Myanmar government this time is too small, and there is no such top-grade jade mine that finds raw jadeite stone.

These workers, in addition to dealing with the supervision of government staff, usually play in the mining area most of the time.

Unlike the warlords, the Burmese government does not force the laborers to work hard, but correspondingly, their income is far less than the absenteeism of the warlords.

"Come on, let's go and have a look." Tang Yifan's eyes flashed a trace of interest. He looked at a 17-year-old boy not far away. He couldn't help but brighten his eyes.

The young man, with his bare upper body and a gray stone in his hand, was chatting with his companion.

Beside them, there are also many stones of different sizes, some of which are ordinary wool, and some of which are discarded broken stones.

Tang Yifan strides forward. The night and the female assassins follow him closely, and look around warily. In this mining area, only they have the least number. The rest of the warlords and rich businessmen have fully armed bodyguards.

Those absentees are discussing something in a low voice around the teenagers. They are excited one by one. As soon as they see Tang Yifan coming, they immediately calm down and lower their heads. They don't want to look at him.

It's not that they have an opinion on Tang Yifan, but that most of them are absent from work because they don't keep in touch with the outside world all the year round. They develop an introverted and autistic character and are willing to be vigilant when they meet strangers.

Tang Yifan glanced at the stone in the boy's hand. The stone was gray and hard. In the eyes of ordinary people, it was just an ordinary stone.

But in fact, although this kind of stone doesn't sell well, it's a real piece of wool. It can not only cut green, but also cut a whole piece of jadeite with good luck.

"This wool, is it yours?"

Tang Yifan pointed to the stone in his hand. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. It was obvious that the outer surface of the stone had been rubbed and even scratched with a knife. It looked pitted.

The boy raised his head and looked at Tang Yifan and the dark night, helpless and at a loss.

Tang Yifan saw a trace of fear in his eyes. Sure enough, the young man was just stunned for a moment, and then said in a hurry: "this master, this stone is only found by me, and I didn't destroy it."

As he said this, he nervously handed the stone over, and a trace of expectation flashed in his eyes.

From the other side's eyes, Tang Yifan saw a touch of flattery.

"Don't worry, I'm not a government worker." Tang Yifan sighed, "you don't have to worry that I will embarrass you. I just want to know the origin of this stone."

Seeing that Tang Yifan didn't mean to embarrass himself, he was quietly relieved.

In the mining area, it is a felony to be found stealing wool. In the Warlord's mining area, if a thief is found, he will be sentenced to death. In the mining area controlled by the government, the theft will face endless prison.

Seeing that Tang Yifan was well-dressed, he thought that he was a government worker. Then he turned pale with fright. At the moment, hearing what he said, he couldn't help standing there on the spot.

"What's the matter?" Tang Yifan frowned and was surprised to see the fear in his eyes.

The dark night blinked, and suddenly said, "doesn't he understand you?"

Then she winked at the woman killer.

The female killer nodded, understood her meaning, and went forward to communicate with the boy in Burmese.

Young originally helpless eyes suddenly lit up, some surprise looking at Tang Yifan.

Through the words of the female killer, he learned that Tang Yifan didn't mean to embarrass himself, but just wanted to ask about the origin of the stone, which made his heart completely put down.
