Chapter 105: Also Use the Ability for Treasure Hunting
Tengchong Country Town is only 80 km away from the only global production site of raw jadeite at the Myanmar border. [1]
In the 1970s, the country developed their foreign trade policy. The Tengchong raw jadeite business flourished. Ten years later, Tengchong became the global raw jadeite distribution center. That was the Tengchong jade industry's most prosperous period. In 1996, the Myanmar government announced the ban of the private trading of raw jade and stopped the Myanmar traders from smuggling it across the border. Hence, the rough jadeite trade returned to Myanmar. This was the start of the downfall of Tengchong's raw jadeite trade.
The businessmen who were capable would go to Mandalay or Yangon in Myanmar to obtain the goods. On the other hand, Tengchong had turned into a gathering place for small and medium enterprises. For example, a jeweler, like Zhang Jiefang, with the wealth of ten million could only obtain goods at Tengchong. If he were to visit Myanmar, while he had enough money, he lacked the experience.
Akin to Yangon's raw jadeite auction house, the pieces got sold in large quantities. A pile of rough stones could easily be worth a few hundred thousand or even a million. For Zhang Jiefang who lacked the experience, he only had two possible outcomes. Either he would buy pieces of jade that were worth hundreds of millions, or he would lose his fortune and buy a pile of worthless goods.
Hence, Zhang Jiefang would rather buy a rock worth five hundred yuan per kilogram than gamble in Yangon.
Wu Facai went back to Tengchong last night. Since Zhang Jiefang just reached Yunnan, he rested a night at Kunming. There were no flights from Kunming to Tengchong, so he had to take a bus. It departed at eight in the morning and arrived in Tengchong at 8 p.m. Since Yang Ming and Zhang Bing went along as well, they canceled the hotel in Kunming.
On the long bus journey, Yang Ming tried his best to inquire about jade, "Uncle Zhang, if a kilogram of raw jadeite is five hundred yuan, can you earn back the cost?"
"That's hard to say. If we are lucky, we could earn a lot. If we have bad luck, we would break-even. Of course, there are times when we would even suffer a loss. When the rough jadeite is cracked, what's left inside was low-quality jadeite. The probability is quite low." Zhang Jiefang laughed. "If we buy a few thousand yuan worth of stone, we should be able to get some good quality jadeite. In fact, it is jade but when mixed with other minerals and it becomes low-quality jadeite. Usually, I will sell them to a small handicraft factory if I encounter such stones. They will sell them after processing. I will typically hoard grade A or slightly better grade B goods. In fact, I can earn back the cost with one stone sometimes!"
"Is it possible to know what it looked like inside based on the appearance of the stone?" Yang Ming asked.
"Of course not! Let's forget about its appearance even x-ray analysis is already a challenge to determine the quality of the jadeite. The only way is to break it open and see! Of course, if you have x-ray vision, you can directly see within it. Haha, I am just kidding!" Zhang Jiefang laughed. "If there was someone with such a special ability, he wouldn't be here just to open the gemstones!"
"Not open the gemstones? Why?" Perhaps the speaker had no intention, but the listener determined the will. Yang Ming's heart beat fiercely! As he heard Zhang Jiefang explain about jadeite gambling, he knew his opportunity was approaching. He was always not sure how to utilize his special ability to earn money. Until yesterday, he was determined to research the rules of jadeite gambling. Now, that he heard from Zhang Jiefang that there was something else that earned more money than jadeite gambling, Yang Ming was curious!
"How could that be strange? Think about it. If you had such an ability, why limit yourself to opening gemstones? You can go to the Pacific Ocean or deep in the jungle and then use the x-ray vision to search for treasures. That will be faster than jadeite gambling!" Zhang Jiefang chuckled.
Yang Ming was shocked by the reply. Zhang Jiefang might be correct in that it could earn quick money but it didn't seem practical at all. What if Yang Ming went to the Pacific Ocean for a treasure hunt? Assuming that was it possible to search for it, the required investment wouldn't be a small number! Firstly, he needed a ship. Also, he had to hire a lot of workers. Even then, salvaging was a challenge also... Just thinking about it gave him a headache. At the very least, Yang Ming couldn't fulfill it right now!
Hiking the mountain for treasure? Wouldn't that require special digging devices or a facility? Also, the government might not permit it.
"That's true!" Yang Ming didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he replied.
"Also, in Africa, for example, there's stone gambling as well. What's on hand can be either diamond or ore. The greater the challenge is, the greater the excitement will be! After the purchase of piles of mineral stone, it is possible to become suddenly rich or poor as a beggar in a single night!" Zhang Jiefang continued.
Not bad. You shifted me to Africa right now! Yang Ming shook his head. The jadeite gambling ahead of him seemed more solid. Also, he could accept such prices. Should it be more expensive, Yang Ming wouldn't have the capital to do it!
Since he chatted with Zhang Bing until late, both of them slept on the bus. Zhang Jiefang was energetic. He had a great time watching a 1990s Hong Kong movie during the intercity bus trip.
By evening, the three of them reached Tengchong. Wu Facai warmly arranged a dinner and a place to stay. Also, he made an appointment to go and handpick some raw jadeite at the warehouse tomorrow morning.
Since Yang Ming and Zhang Bing took a nap in the afternoon, they were quite energetic after the dinner. Zhang Jiefang drank a little too much, so he went back to the hotel and slept.
"Yang Ming, let's walk around." Zhang Bing didn't wish to return to the hotel so early since it was only 9 p.m.
Tengchong had a tropical monsoon climate. The average temperature was 14.8 degrees Celsius. There was no winter and summer, therefore the climate was cool. Yang Ming looked at the busy night view. He couldn't help but sigh. It was merely a town, but was still so bustling!
The night market here mostly sold jade accessories. Zhang Bing's family was in this business as well. Naturally, he didn't glimpse at it even a bit because there was nothing good here.
"Two handsome boys, do you want to be pleased?" A prostitute solicited them as she blocked their path.
"No..." Yang Ming just opened his mouth yet he noticed Zhang Bing had already spoken to the pimp before he finished his sentence.
"How much for one time?" Zhang Bing asked.
"One hour for four hundred. The whole night would be eight hundred, and that would be the complete package!" The prostitute noticed someone was interested and quickly replied.
"One hour for four hundred? Do you think I am stupid?" Zhang Bing said, "Two hundred, that's the market price!"
'Two hundred it is then, but you must wear a condom!" She couldn't help but say it since she noticed the person was a veteran.
"Damn, I wouldn't dare to take the risk. Who knows if they would spoil my penis?" Zhang Bing nodded his head and said, "Lead the way!"
"Zhang Bing!" Yang Ming immediately pulled Zhang Bing's shirt. "Are you for real?"
"We came out to play and have some enjoyment. Why, Yang Ming, don't tell me you are a virgin?" Zhang Bing looked at Yang Ming as though he was laughing.
"Of course not!" Yang Ming was embarrassed. In society right now, females were afraid that others would say she wasn't a virgin. Males were worried that the others would say he was a virgin! It sounded contradictory, but that was the truth.
"Oh! I understand!" Zhang Bing hinted as if he fully understood. "Don't worry. I will not tell sister-in-law, Mengyan. It will be our little secret!"
Yang Ming was helpless with the situation. He wasn't someone who was promiscuous. Although he could be inhuman sometimes, these feelings were for the girl that he liked. Without the lover's connection, he found it conflicting to do so.
As Yang Ming noticed that Zhang Bing was excited, he couldn't help but go along with Zhang Bing to a bathing center.
Just like the woman who was soliciting, they typically had a deal with the spa. The bathing center would take a commission based on Yang Ming's and Zhang Bing's usage.
Zhang Bing with his veteran experience had reserved a good looking girl, and he hugged her in his arm. It looked like he frequently visited such places. On the other hand, Yang Ming who had a more traditional mindset found it rather embarrassing!
"What is it, Yang Ming?" Zhang Bing looked at Yang Ming who hadn't moved an inch. He whispered, "Brother, are you a virgin?"
"I..." Yang Ming wasn't quite sure how to answer it. Biologically, he wasn't a virgin anymore. He had a night with Lin Zhiyun though he had forgotten how it felt. Hence, Yang Ming was still a virgin from a psychological perspective.
Zhang Bing was more proficient in this aspect compared to Yang Ming. Zhang Bing had already guessed what happened to him based on his expression. "Don't worry. It would be pleasing!"
Before Yang Ming could say anything, Zhang Bing released the girl at his side and approached the lobby manager who was the madam, Mama Sang.
"Sir, is there any problem?" The lobby manager could figure out that Zhang Bing was a veteran while Yang Ming was an amateur from the way they walked in. Hence, she didn't dare to fool around with Zhang Bing.
"My brother is here for his first time. Are there any cleaner goods?" Zhang Bing asked.
Chapter 106: Like Her
Note: This chapter contains some detailed descriptions of a sexual activity. If you do not want to read it or are under 15 years of age, skip the section between the double lines.
"That's reasonable, but the price will no longer be two hundred yuan!" said the lobby manager after hesitating for a while.
"That I understand. Give me a price!" stated Zhang Bing.
"Three thousand for a virgin!" The lobby manager said softly.
"Virgin? Would there be any problem?" Zhang Bing asked doubtfully.
"Her dad sent her here. He accepted two thousand yuan from here, and I am just adding another thousand. It's a reasonable price already!" said the lobby manager.
Zhang Bing nodded his head. Money wasn't a problem. There was more than ten thousand yuan in his pocket! Because he was abroad, he was just concerned about getting himself into unnecessary trouble. In Song Jiang, Zhang Jiefang could be considered a boss, and he had his power in many places. However, it was a different area here. If there was any trouble, it would be quite hard to settle! As for how much the lobby manager earned, Zhang Bing didn't care. Whether it was a thousand or two thousand yuan, it was none of his business.
"My uncle here deals with stones! Don't you lie to me!" Just to be safe, Zhang Bing warned the lobby manager. People who dealt with stones in Tengchong were commonly ruthless people with a lot of tactics up their sleeves. To take on a bathing center was a piece of cake for them.
"I won't. No worries! A virgin's body with a slu*'s passion!" The lobby manager said with a smile.
"I am going to say all the ugly words upfront! If there was no bleeding from the sexual intercourse, then I won't hand over the three thousand yuan to you!" Zhang Bing said.
"Sir, no worries! I can assure you the satisfaction of your brother!" The lobby manager said with another smile.
After a few more persuasive words, the lobby manager went to make arrangements. Zhang Bing said to Yang Ming as he smiled lewdly, "No worries, brother! Your satisfaction is guaranteed! The three big irons of men - jerk off together, study together, prostitute together! We've already covered two of them! Hehe!"
"Zhang Bing, what did you tell the lobby manager earlier on?" Yang Ming was pretending. He had seen the mouth shapes of the lobby manager and Zhang Bing, and therefore, he knew of their conversation.
Yang Ming's heart had an intense struggle! Even though prostituting was a bit of that, but weren't all men animals who thought with the lower part of their body? It should be acceptable to indulge in things once, right? Did he have to guard his body and keep himself pure? For whom? For Chen Mengyan?
In these few days, Yang Ming had also understood. Whatever Wang Zhitao said to Chen Mengyan could be counted as a betrayal to Chen Mengyan. It could very possibly be about the case regarding Lin Zhiyun! Since Chen Mengyan didn't believe in him, why would he care about all these things!
Therefore, when Yang Ming "saw" the lobby manager say there was a clean virgin, his heart started to itch! Yang Ming didn't think that he was a pervert, but he also wasn't a loyal and exclusive person. It caused him to still want to have Chen Mengyan or even Zhao Ying even when he had done it with Lin Zhiyun!
Finding a prostitute was about the same as a one night stand, the difference was that one had to spend some money while the other you didn't. Now that there was someone else who would be spending the money for him and the girl was a clean one, Yang Ming didn't mind having a relationship with her!
If it had been before things changed, Yang Ming would probably hesitate but now that he no longer had the burden of Chen Mengyan, Yang Ming didn't need to keep his virginity for anyone. Since Zhang Bing had already arranged things up to this stage, if he were to reject it right now, that would really be dishonoring his brother! On the surface, Zhang Bing may not say anything but their friendship would be slightly more awkward after that.
Therefore, Yang Ming clenched his teeth. Let's speak to the girl for a while first. If things are fine, we will do it together. If it wasn't, I will pretend for a while, at least until Zhang Bing finished his business.
"Heh, I found a clean body for you. They told me that she was a virgin! Yang Ming, you have it, man. Until now, I haven't even f*** a virgin before!" Zhang Bing's exaggerated his expression, "Let me tell you - make sure to notice later whether there's blood from the first penetration. If there's none, I won't give them a single cent!"
"..." Yang Ming was speechless. That was surprisingly direct, wasn't it? Even though Yang Ming knew that this guy was sometimes horny at school and that he would find porn and one night stands when he had nothing much to do, now Yang Ming realized that he was a complete pervert!
When there was money to be earned, the lobby manager would surely be happy. She asked the two waiters beside her, "Where's the little girl who was sent here this afternoon?"
"She fell asleep after throwing a tantrum!" said the waiter.
"Give her some drug then send her up to the room upstairs!" commanded the lobby manager.
"Drug? That's not right..." The waiter replied.
"What's not right about it? Even her dad didn't want her!" The lobby manager stared at the waiter. "Do it quick! The client already said that if the treatment wasn't nice, they wouldn't give a single cent!"
"Alright!" When the waiter saw how the lobby manager became a bit angry, he didn't dare to say anything and carried it out immediately.
After they made the arrangements, the lobby manager brought Yang Ming and Zhang Bing to the rooms upstairs. Of course, there were two separate rooms, or else none of them would get to enjoy!
"A moment in the spring's night is worth thousands of gold. Yang Ming, you will need to enjoy it slowly. There are not many opportunities for this!" Zhang Bing said as he smiled.
Just like that, Yang Ming walked hesitantly into the room. "Kang" and the door shut.
Once he entered the room, Yang Ming felt a hot and sexy body rush toward his own!
……
=========================== BEGINNING ===============================
"Damn!" The first thing that came into Yang Ming's mind was that they deceived him! Is this a "clean" girl? From what Zhang Bing said, she should be a virgin! But, would a virgin behave in such a forward manner!
Before Yang Ming could react, velvety lips pressed on Yang Ming's mouth and sucked every corner of his lips. Weird sound lingered around their mouths!
Isn't this unusually passionate? Yang Ming became suspicious. However, a fresh and sweet scent came from the young girl's mouth and seduced Yang Ming. This shouldn't be a low-quality grade. Yang Ming comforted himself.
It was at this moment that Yang Ming realized that he had never kissed before! He was a complete rookie in this aspect! He had at least watched it in adult movies, but he hadn't experienced it personally!
Yang Ming followed suit and began to enjoy the little girl's mouth like a sweet fountain. It looked like this girl was also a novice. Her small tongue wildly explored Yang Ming's mouth with no pattern at all. They were two birds of a feather, and their tongues played a game of hide-and-seek.
"Take me..." When the young girl opened her mouth to breath, she said it ambiguously. However, her ambiguous tone got Yang Ming's blood pumping even more.
Damn. That's too tempting! Before Yang Ming could say anything, the young girl started rubbing herself all over his body!
At this time, Yang Ming finally got the chance to have a closer look at the sexy fairy in his embrace. The young girl was approximately fifteen or sixteen years old. Her delicate face was blushing. Yang Ming's mind went wild.
"Take me..." The young girl groaned lightly, and her hands started stripping off Yang Ming's clothes.
Damn, are all the virgins here that proactive? It has already come to this point. If I stop here, won't I be belittled? God is giving me an excuse! Yup, I can't let myself be looked down upon.
With these thoughts in mind, Yang Ming hugged her and brought her to the bed. He stripped off all his clothes without much effort. Meanwhile, the young girl's clothes were strewn all over the place...
"Ah!" The young girl moaned in agony as she frowned.
She is indeed a virgin! Yang Ming felt an unmistakable barrier.
However, the young girl only paused for a little while before moving her body again...
============================== END ===================================
……
Yang Ming stared at the young girl who was deep asleep and felt a bit of a headache. It was only after he had calmed down that he got to look at the girl in detail.
Curvy eyebrows, long eyelashes, a delicate mouth that was still slightly pouted and showed a trace of a smile, together with semi-long, smooth hair - all painted the lively image of a fairy.
Strictly speaking, the little girl's body wasn't exquisite, but it was rather balanced. The boobs weren't big, but they were erect. The smooth skin with a slightly red flush after being satisfied looked jade clear.
Especially the madness from the girl captivated Yang Ming. It was hard to imagine that such a cute doll-like girl would be so crazy when she was doing it.
Did he have a lolicon [1]? The internet term floated into Yang Ming's head. One of the greatest taboos of a one night stand was to have any affection involved. That was more the case when it came to prostitution. However, Yang Ming seemed to like this little carrot [2]. At the very least, he liked doing this with her - the thing they like to do.
Yang Ming felt a bit irritated. From a logical standpoint, he didn't have any relationship with this girl. But from a purely physical point of view, he was addicted to that feeling of madness! Also, logic tells him that this was just a one night stand and he was supposed to leave right now!
Moreover, there's a high chance that this carrot hasn't even reached maturity. Who knew whether there would be trouble by f****** her? Yang Ming wasn't stupid either. Looking at the performance by the girl just now, someone must have drugged her. Just like how he was when he was at Tavern Heaven On Earth, where the sexual intercourse was an innate ability of the human body to release their desire. Once she woke up, would she be throwing a tantrum?
Yang Ming felt very regretful. Why would this situation be so dodgy?
If it had been Zhang Bing, it was very much possible that he would have slapped his butt and just left! The reality was as such: Zhang Bing had already finished his entertainment, but since he noticed there wasn't much movement on Yang Ming's side, he went back to his room to find another girl to massage him.
Yang Ming felt conflicted in his heart. His subconscious told him to leave right now because once the girl woke up, you would get yourself into trouble. But a deeper layer of voice told him, She was already your woman now. How dare you leave her here? If you want to be a successful person and you can't even protect your own woman, what capability do you have to fight with Wang Zhitao?
