"Just one? Why not take over two more sites?" Peng Jiasheng asked straightforwardly.
Yang Jing shook his head and said, "I can't help it. My current sales channels are limited. And you know, it's not easy for an American like me to open up the Chinese jade market. Besides, the Chinese jade market is very small now. From a business perspective, I can't take too many risks. Although the price of jade in Southeast Asia is not low now, the market in Southeast Asia is limited after all. So, I can't have too much jade in stock, which would put my capital chain in danger."
Peng Jiasheng gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, one site, five years, six million dollars!"
Yang Jing smiled and said, "Deal!"
Although this matter was accomplished, six million dollars was still far from twenty million dollars, so Peng Jiasheng continued to ask: "In the next five years, I will be responsible for the transportation and safety of your jade in Kachin State. Two million dollars a year is not too much, right?"
Yang Jing thought for a while and said, "I can accept this price, but Commander Peng, how do you plan to transport it? You know, I want to transport these jadeite stones to China. The Stilwell Road is divided into two lines, north and south, from Myitkyina. The northern line is now completely unavailable, and Bhamo on the southern line is still controlled by the government army. How can you guarantee the safety of my jadeite transportation?"
The Stilwell Road Yang Jing mentioned is the famous Sino-Indian Highway, an international military strategic highway built by the United States and China during World War II, from Ledo, India to Spring City, China. It was once named the "Stilwell Road", and the section from Ledo, India, through Myitkyina in Myanmar to Wanding, the border of Nanyun Province, China, is also called the "Ledo Road".
However, this road has been built for more than 40 years, and the current Chinese economy is far from what it will be in 20 years, so this important road has not been renovated. The northern route from Myitkyina to the northeast through the Houqiao Port to Tengchong in Nanyun Province has been completely abandoned, and it is impossible to drive a sports car.
However, the southern route from Myitkyina to Bhamo, Namkham and then to Wanding in China is still in good condition. However, Bhamo is still under the control of the government army, and taking the southern route is even more dangerous than taking the northern route.
The Stilwell Road, like the Yunnan-Burma Railway, is a transportation route that Yang Jing is now eyeing.
However, both the Stilwell Road and the Yunnan-Burma Railway are now controlled by two different forces. Just like Yang Jing went from Mandalay to Myitkyina two days ago, if it were normal times, it would be best to take the Yunnan-Burma Railway, but now it is wartime, the south of the Yunnan-Burma Railway is controlled by the government army, and the north is controlled by the Kachin Army, so this railway cannot be used for transportation at all.
Whose goods were they transporting? Who dared to transport goods during this period? Not to mention people.
Peng Jiasheng said, "Cole, you don't have to worry about this. I can take over Bhamo in two months at most! As long as I take over Bhamo, the southern line of the Stilwell Road can be completely opened up. At that time, your jadeite raw stones can be transported to Ruili, China without any damage. I can guarantee you this."
After a pause, Peng Jiasheng continued, "I don't need the 20% commission you promised me for the next five years to compensate for the remaining four million dollars. But after you give me these two Mi-24 Hind attack helicopters, you also need to provide me with three thousand AK47s and three bases of ammunition at one time. I don't want the rest! Of course, I need your people to come and train a few pilots, weapon system officers, and ground crew for me."
Yang Jing thought about it again and agreed to the request.
Peng Jiasheng's request was not excessive. Once the two jade mines belonged to him, the 20% commission alone would be more than one million US dollars a year. And three thousand AK47s and two bases of ammunition would be one million US dollars at most, so the commission for the remaining four years would not be limited to four million US dollars.
In other words, Peng Jiasheng finally managed to scrape together the 20 million US dollars by digging around.
The price was fair. Peng Jiasheng got the two Mi-24 Hind armed helicopters he had always dreamed of. With these two Hinds, the air supremacy of Kachin State would be absolutely worry-free for at least ten years. In Myanmar at this time, the Hind was enough to dominate the sky.
Yang Jing is also a good match. He only needs to pay Nicholas 20 million US dollars to get the jadeite raw stone he wants. At least in the next five years, Yang Jing will no longer have to worry about the source of jadeite raw stone.
As for the future, we will talk about that later. Anyway, in the original history, by 1989, Peng Jiasheng would have reached a 20-year ceasefire agreement with the Burmese government. I just don't know if my sudden involvement will disrupt this historical process and trigger a time and space paradox?
But now that the Holy Ring hadn't issued a warning, Yang Jing felt much more relieved. At the same time, because of this incident, Yang Jing suddenly remembered a very critical question, and he couldn't wait to consult the Holy Ring...
PS: I would like to thank “Zi Yan Tian Jiao” for the reward of 500 and “Ice Octave” for the reward of 100.
