I Have a Little Black Hole

v1 Chapter 6: Mandalay

   Lei Tiantang, who had barely had breakfast, left the restaurant and walked to Mandalay Palace to visit according to his mobile phone navigation. After walking for about 15 minutes, I came to the ticket office in front of the palace. The palace is free to visit, but because he is a foreign tourist, he needs to buy a Mandalay pass to play in Mandalay.

   Based on the knowledge provided by online travel friends, Lei Tiantang had a preliminary impression of the Mandalay Palace.

The Mandalay Palace is the palace of the last dynasty of Myanmar, the Gongbang Dynasty. It was built in 1859. It is a wooden structure and is made of teak, a precious tree species unique to Myanmar. It is not easy to crack and is resistant to corrosion. , The feudal Burmese dynasty also designated teak as the royal wood, and palaces and imperial cities were built with this wood.

   There are 104 temples in the palace, the buildings are mainly red and gold. Part of the current Mandalay Palace was rebuilt in 1989, so many Burmese people have a bad impression of Mandalay Palace. But this did not affect Lei Tiantang's interest in visiting.

Looking at the palace from the outside, the scenery is very good, there are long palace walls, every other section of the palace wall is beautiful, every section of the wall is decorated with a pavilion, and the design of each pavilion is They are different, some are more complex and taller, and some are simpler and smaller, but the styles are similar, beautiful in appearance, and most of them are white. They are very enchanting against the red walls and green trees. The reflection of the long city wall in the moat has a special flavor. Lei Tiantang took a lot of photos outside and posted them to Moments and Weibo.

   But Lei Tiantang felt that the scenery inside the courtyard was just like that. He didn't feel anything when he saw it, because most houses are temples and he is not a Buddhist believer.

   The courtyard is still quite large, and the scenery in some places is good, especially the observation tower, which is a good place to take pictures. Standing on it, Lei Tiantang took a lot of panoramic photos of the palace with his mobile phone.

After walking around for about an hour, Lei Tiantang, who thought it was meaningless, came out of the palace. Suddenly I felt that there was no fun place to go, because most of the sights found on the mobile phone were temples, except when I planned to go to Mande in the evening. Photographing the sunset on Leshan, he doesn't know what to do now.

   After thinking about it, he still decided to go to the Emerald Market in Mandalay. He went there last night and there were not many stalls. Now day is definitely different from night. When I went there last night, many of the stalls were empty. Today he plans to go shopping.

   One more thing, he must buy some rough jadeites to bring back to the country, otherwise he will take out a few top jadeites at once, and the origin of these jadeites is not easy to explain.

   After leaving the palace, Lei Tiantang called a car to take him to the jade market. As soon as he entered, he was shocked. The jade market during the day can be said to be crowded with people in front of almost every stall.

   Today, he is still planning to find out if he can open another high-quality jadeite rough in the market, because he plans to buy a lot of rough stones to take back to the country, and there are more than 800,000 in his pocket but there are not many rough stones. Another point is to prove to the outside world his luck and strength, or what others would think of so many top jade suddenly appeared.

   As for the improvement of stone gambling level, he is too late to learn now to sell. He plans to learn by the way while buying rough stones these days. After all, he doesn't have to make a living by betting on rocks. The purpose of his coming to Myanmar to engage in jadeite is very clear, that is, he wants to make a start-up fund, and by the way, he can save some materials for future art creation. As for other plans in the future, he plans to think about it after returning home.

   So he drove his skills and began to slowly turn around these stalls. While watching how people choose the stones, while listening to the stall owner's explanation of these rough stones, combined with what he saw with his own skills, his understanding of jade rough stones is slowly improving.

   He also bought a few rough stones by the way. Some have jade in it, and the texture is not very good, and some are big stones. Anyway, the usefulness of these purchases was an excuse, and it didn't cost much, Lei Tiantang didn't care.

   After shopping for a long time, he also felt a little hungry after seeing everyone eating. He just came in after eating outside. After watching for a long time, I also watched the calcite several times. Only one boss offered a piece of spring-colored jade, which was of good value and barely made a small profit. The others were either **** or stone. Only then did Lei Tiantang understand what it means to bet on the Internet.

   No wonder the market for clear goods and finished products is so hot. Although buying clear goods and finished products requires some insight, it is much more stable than buying these masking materials.

   But Lei Tian Tang is not afraid, it’s not stupid for people who open the hanger to gamble all the time! The few rough stones he bought in the afternoon are basically in stock. Although they are not of particularly good quality, Lei Tiantang still intends to buy more rough stones of this kind. One is to go back and give a friend a gift from it. , And then make your own jewelry and give it to them. After all, you can't give the finished products made of top-quality jade to your friends. It's not appropriate.

The other reason is that he plans to go back to buy a villa, and then he plans to pile up these rough jadeite stones in the rockery in the yard. Think about friends who know the goods coming to the house as a guest. Seeing such a rockery is shocked, Lei Tiantang couldn’t help it. Zhile. Pretend to be different!

   Of course, he is far from this goal, and he has not found a rough stone that can provide him with funds for the raid. I can only think about it now, and then continue to stroll around the stalls to find rough stones.

   is still looking for each stall one stall according to the rhythm. After all, if he directly maximizes the field, he can quickly find a satisfactory rough stone, but what fun is there to do that?

   Finally, after shopping for most of the afternoon, I finally found a satisfactory rough stone. It's still a rough stone. UU Reading www.uukahnshu.com This rough stone is not small in size. The label on it shows 60 kilograms. At the entrance is Pakant.

   But because there were two openings in this rough stone, there was nothing under one opening, and the other opening under a moss. There is jade here, but the water species of jade is only hibiscus, and it is still a bit cracked.

   Therefore, the merchant did not continue to open it, but put it out as a half gambling. There were still a few customers who saw this rough stone, and they all surrounded the rough stone with a bright flashlight. They should be a group of gambling on stones, otherwise they would not look at a rough stone together.

   So Lei Tiantang stood by and didn't speak, the rules still had to be said. After a while, a leader came out and asked the boss: "Boss, we'll want it for 300,000 yuan, and 300,000 yuan can still be gambled."

"How can it work, this boss, I bid 600,000 yuan, you just paid off half of it, we bought more than this price." The stall owner is a young Burmese young man, hearing these customers pay back half of the price. He smiled bitterly.

   "Well, if you want the guests, I can make it cheaper. How about taking 550,000 RMB with you!" The stall owner thought.

"It's too much. I don't know how much meat is in this piece. The crack on the meat is still a question mark. The risk of our bet at your price is too great. How about 350,000?" The guests continue to bargain.

   "That won't work, boss, I can't make this price, at least 500,000. If you think it works, you can buy it. If you can't, you will look at other things." The stall owner reduced the price to 500,000 and refused to go down.

   Lei Tiantang estimated that this stone was bought by the stall’s owner to bet, and the result was not ideal. He sold it as half a gambling and didn’t want to lose too much, so it’s understandable not to cut the price.
