Yanrong never lacks buyers for the ore it extracts; Luo Yunhang doesn't need to worry about how to sell it or to whom.

Ultimately, he couldn't stay in Myanmar for long. In the end, Yan Rong still had the final say on these mines, even though they originally belonged to him.

He and Miao Cuihua only needed to wait for their share of the money each year.

These mines are enough for him to mine for decades.

Luo Yunhang's trip was equivalent to solving his livelihood for the next few decades, and also finding the best supplier for Miao Cuihua's Biyun Pavilion, so that she would no longer be subject to suppliers in Yunnan.

Although Yan Rong is cunning, he is also a gentleman. Even if he wants to do something underhanded, he won't do it openly, so their profit sharing is definitely not a problem.

Moreover, Yan Rong is a smart man. If he wants to do business in the long run, he has to be upright and honest, which is why he has been able to stand firm for so many years.

Luo Yunhang was preparing to say goodbye to Yan Rong. He had been away for almost half a month and was also preparing to return to China.

"Damn it!" With a bang.

It looks like something in the study has been broken.

The voice sounds like Yan Rong's.

Luo Yunhang was about to leave first and wait for Yan Rong to calm down before coming over.

Unexpectedly, the servant who brought him here had already knocked on the door.

When Yan Rong opened the door, he had already put on a calm expression.

But only he knows the specifics.

"You've come at the right time. I have something I'd like to ask you for help with," Yan Rong said with a serious expression.

Luo Yunhang naturally nodded in agreement. Given Yan Rong's temperament, it wasn't easy for him to ask for help; he must have encountered some difficulties. Since he had asked, Luo Yunhang was sure he could handle it.

This was Luo Yunhang's first time entering Yan Rong's study, but he had no interest in observing much.

Because Yan Rong's expression indicated that things were not simple.

"We've found the group that attacked Nanawin before!" Yan Rong said after settling down.

"Oh? Who is it? Is there anything I can help with?" Luo Yunhang asked curiously.

"He's from Kunshan. He lost to me in the competition for the ruby ​​mine, so he wanted to take revenge on Nainaiwen."

"I really have to thank you. If you hadn't saved Nanawin, we would both be ruined if we had fallen into his hands." Yan Rong sighed with lingering fear.

Myanmar is the land of rubies, and there is still a touching story about rubies.

In ancient times, Myanmar was also known as the Golden Land. There lived a beautiful dragon princess who captivated the sun prince, who descended to earth to marry her.

Later, the prince was recalled, and soon after, the princess laid a dragon egg. The prince was overjoyed and sent a messenger with his personal "fire stone" to visit her.

The messenger, in his boasting, lost the token. The princess left heartbroken, and the dragon egg shattered, turning into a ruby.

Although the legend is poignant, people still regard rubies as auspicious objects, believing that wearing rubies can bring wisdom, longevity, and fulfilling love.

Rubies are therefore highly sought after and very valuable, attracting many merchants.

Myanmar's ruby-producing regions are mainly located in the central and northern parts of the country, in the Mogok region, which is a famous treasure trove.

Besides Mogok, Sajin, north of Mandalay, also produces rubies, but their colors are not as vibrant as those from Mogok.

There are also ruby ​​mines in the Kamai area, south of Mandalay.

There is also a true story about rubies.

Before the development of a ruby ​​mine, there was a village called Manshailiang at the foot of the mine. People could often see beautiful, transparent red sand grains in the river sand next to the village.

Once, a peddler came to the village to do business. He was very popular with the girls. When he was about to leave, one of the girls filled a bottle with pretty red sand that she had collected by the river and gave it to him.

The peddler was hot and tired from walking, and felt that the bottle of red pebbles was useless, so he threw it away to lighten his load.

Later, when the mine was developed, the peddler returned and realized that what he had thrown away was actually a bottle of "ruby".

He immediately regretted his actions.

Luo Yunhang was somewhat surprised; it turned out that Yan Rong also ran a ruby ​​mine.

Ruby mines are more valuable than jade mines.

It's just that this era was a bit chaotic. In later generations, rare mineral veins like these were all controlled by the government and the military, so there was no room for private individuals to compete for them.

Of course, in this day and age, rubies are not as valuable as they are in later years, and they are not as sought after.

"What do you need my help with?" Luo Yunhang asked directly.

"I know you have some expertise in jade mines, but I wonder if you can also look into ruby ​​mines?" Yan Rong asked cautiously.

Of course he can. To put it bluntly, he relies on his eyesight. As long as he can see it, no mineral can hide from him.

But he hesitated for a few moments and said, "Maybe?"

“I learned that Kunshan is about to trade ruby ​​mines with a mine owner. If I could know the general situation of those ruby ​​mines, I might be able to give Kunshan a good blow.”

Luo Yunhang immediately understood what he meant.

This is a father's retaliation, which is perfectly normal.

“I won’t let you help for nothing. After it’s done, I will pay you 13 billion kyats as a reward. What do you think?” Yan Rong added immediately when he saw that he didn’t speak.

For some reason, Yanrong had a lot of confidence in him. He always felt that this kid was a bit strange and that it was best to be friends with him rather than enemies.

Thirteen billion kyats, which is equivalent to fifty million RMB, is a considerable reward for Luo Yunhang's actions.

Although Luo Yunhang had much more money in his pocket, this was the first time someone was willing to spend 50 million to ask him for help, and he felt incredibly powerful.

"Forget about the payment, I'll help you out." It's just a small favor anyway, I can do it with a quick glance.

"Without further ado, we'll set off this afternoon to check out the ruby ​​mine. Please go back and prepare."

Furthermore, once the matter is completed, the full payment will be deposited into your account. I, Yanrong, am a man of my word; I keep my promises.

The vehicle traveled through the desolate mining area.

The environment here is even harsher than in jade mines, making it extremely difficult to obtain a good gemstone. The extraction of each gemstone is a very challenging process.

Miners even have to extract stones from mine shafts that are very high above the ground.

The mine tunnels are sometimes as large as an auditorium, and sometimes as small as a dog hole. The tunnels are interconnected, layer upon layer, and constantly radiate outwards in all directions. There is hardly a single supporting pillar in the tunnels, making the danger level beyond imagination.

The mining of rubies still relies on primitive manual excavation to this day. The mining process is extremely arduous, and often takes months to yield nothing.

However, digging is only the first step in mining rubies; a series of operations such as washing and sorting are also required.

Selecting exquisite and beautiful gemstones from a large amount of gravel is like sifting sand from a great wave. On average, only about one carat of rough ruby ​​can be selected from every four hundred tons of ruby ​​ore.

Before processing, the stones are carefully selected again, and only one ruby ​​that meets gem-quality standards in terms of color, clarity, and quality can be chosen from every thousand rough stones.

It is easy to imagine how precious and hard-won rubies are.
