    Waiting is the most painful thing, especially when you are waiting for something that overwhelms everything else. You will lose interest in other things and lose your energy until the result of the thing you are waiting for appears.  This is the situation for Zhao Zeyong at this time.  I can¡¯t calm down. I feel that this is not only related to my personal future, but also to the future of the country.  Zhao Zeyong simply opened the shuttle door again and came back during the day and back at night just like he did during the war with Sun Yat-sen.  Of course, this vacation will definitely not be in vain. Traveling between the two worlds, there are so many things to do. The feeling of reselling things, like smuggling, is actually quite good. It can distract my anxious heart to some extent.  .  Of course, over the years, Zhao Zeyong's cross-time and space smuggling has become more and more high-end. At the beginning, he went to the supermarket to buy a lot of cheap daily necessities. Now he feels embarrassed when he thinks about it. Later, he started reselling equipment, and now he has gone through those  Lao Lu started to resell technology and blueprints. The industrial capabilities of the United Provinces allowed him to produce finished products based on the blueprints as long as he could bring something that was not too high-end.  But this time Zhao Zeyong still wants to resell some special things, works of art, jade carvings to be precise.  This idea started when Bai Chongxi came back from Myanmar a few years ago and gave him a piece of fine jade.  Myanmar produces jade. It is said that this is the place where real jade is produced in the world. Strictly speaking, jade from other places is not authentic.  After getting the jade, Zhao Zeyong had the idea of ??bringing the jade from the Republic of China back to modern times for reselling, and then bringing back a lot of things from the modern era that were not available in the Republic of China to make profits.  Zhao Zeyong had considered reselling things before.  But I never found anything suitable, so I thought about reselling antiques.  This operation is supposed to be possible, but Zhao Zeyong has tried it before. He tried to bring the ceramics made by the old masters of Jingdezhen back into the modern era and sell them as antiques. Unfortunately, he found that after the shuttle door passed, time left no traces on the porcelain at all, that is,  It is said that this shuttle door forcibly connects two eras. The time on both sides of the shuttle door is the same. From the porcelain just coming out of the kiln in the Republic of China to the modern porcelain, it is still the new porcelain just coming out of the kiln.  The reselling failed.  If the time and space in the shuttle door can really pass, Zhao Zeyong will be prosperous. There are still many official kiln masters from the Qing Dynasty in the Republic of China. They can produce a large number of official kiln porcelain at low cost. These porcelains can be made to be authentic in modern times.  It's so profitable.  Pity.  Of course, it is still possible to resell antiques, that is, resell those antiques that are very old and can be ignored in just a few decades from the Republic of China to modern times.  For example, those antiques from the Song Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty were rare even in the Republic of China, and the cost of obtaining them was also very high.  In addition, Zhao Zeyong is not short of money in modern times. Taking back the gold from the Republic of China will be enough for him to obtain enough information and drawings.  So I didn't think about it.  The jade given by Bai Chongxi made Zhao Zeyong see the feasibility of reselling. The price of jade has increased very sharply in recent years, and this kind of resource gemstone is not like porcelain. Its value is due to its scarcity.  Not because of history and culture.  Of course, it was also because of the accidental discovery of Wang Ming's new business.  Zhao Zeyong saw the opportunity to bring modern products to the Republic of China for deception, so he decided to exchange the things from the Republic of China for modern things in China. Otherwise, it was really unnecessary, because he didn't need much money in modern times.  ?The first time I went to Tengchong, Tengchong has long been the center of the jade trade between China and Myanmar. There are not only a large number of jade merchants here, but also a large number of people who make a living from it.  After arriving in Tengchong, he immediately summoned a large number of local jade and jade dealers.  Not long after Bai Chongxi gave him the gift, Zhao Zeyong began to invite these businessmen to help him stock up on goods.  The goods are naturally jade, but they are definitely not ordinary jade, but processed jade products.  The raw materials are not as valuable as the finished product.  In addition to merchants making a living from the jade trade, Tengchong also has a large number of jade workers. These art workers and craftsmen, their skills are also very valuable and can add a lot of value to the raw jade.  Moreover, many craftsmanship from the Republic of China period have been lost in modern times. After being passed through their hands and then resold to modern times, they are even more valuable.  After communicating with businessmen, I learned that they had helped Zhao Zeyong get dozens of tons of jade carvings. After all, they were a scarce resource, and in the Republic of China, jade had not yet been recognized by the international market. It was only collected in large quantities in China.  It was so difficult. It took several years to obtain dozens of tons of processed jade carvings.  However, what the merchants got for Zhao Zeyong were all of the highest quality, especially a string of jade necklaces and twenty-three jade beads, each of which was more than one centimeter in diameter. They were very beautiful and rare. They were crafted by craftsmen of the Republic of China.  Finally, it became even more colorful.  When it was delivered to modern times, the necklace was valued at hundreds of millions, but Zhao Zeyong had no intention of selling it because he liked it very much.  Other sculptures include the half-human-tall Maitreya Buddha statue and the fist-sized Eighteen ArhatsGroup sculptures, including jade screens and rockery sculptures. Not only are the jade quality high-quality, but the workmanship is also top-notch. In modern times, it is difficult to find both in terms of appearance and handwork. If you put it in an auction house, it will definitely lead to crazy bids.  , but Zhao Zeyong can't control these things. It's too dangerous to put these things directly in the auction house, because the source cannot be told and the water meter can be easily checked.  But Zhao Zeyong is not worried at all. It is Wang Ming who should worry about these things. Zhao Zeyong plans to trade these things with Wang Ming, hoping that Wang Ming can provide him with enough goods.  "Wang Ming's goods? It's his new business. Of course it's not drugs, but it's not much more authentic than drugs. The drugs are at least genuine. These are completely fakes.  Well, Wang Ming¡¯s new business is diamond business, fake diamond business.  He has established a connection with a research institute in Henan, which has developed the technology to produce gem-quality artificial diamonds. Wang Ming purchased large quantities through other channels. Because it was well concealed, he could not be traced at all.  As long as the research institute has money, it doesn't care where the things are bought.  When Zhao Zeyong returned the first batch of two tons of jade carvings to Wang Ming.  Wang Ming was stunned.  He never thought that Zhao Zeyong could obtain such a high-quality jade work of art.  Although Zhao Zeyong had already greeted him.  But Wang Ming believes that in terms of energy in Myanmar.  He was definitely eight blocks higher than Zhao Zeyong, but Zhao Zeyong made him feel that he was extremely weak as soon as Zhao Zeyong made a move.  And because he was not mentally prepared, he simply did not prepare enough goods for Zhao Zeyong.  Just kidding, two tons of high-grade jade works of art, how much would it cost to exchange for his fake diamonds? Even if they exchange it on a one-to-one basis by weight, where can he find two tons of artificial diamonds.  Then when he heard that Zhao Zeyong still had thirty tons of jadeite with this appearance, Wang Ming felt like the sky was falling.  Of course Zhao Zeyong was quite unhappy.  Because he only took a small bag of several hundred carats of man-made diamond samples and returned to the Republic of China.  But these samples have received pretty good feedback.  They were sent to the United States through Ohamer and showed to wealthy bankers, who recognized the diamonds very much.  Of course, bankers are definitely not fools, but artificial diamonds were first produced in 1954, which is more than twenty years behind the technology gap between the Republic of China and the Republic of China.  And the artificial diamonds sent by Zhao Zeyong were gem-grade artificial diamonds. This kind of gem-grade artificial diamonds only started to be mass-produced around 2000. There is a technological gap between the 70 and 80 years of the Republic of China.  If Americans can recognize it in this way, it proves that they have also traveled through time.  The banker asked experts to study it, and the experts determined that it was somewhat different from other diamonds, but they were definitely diamonds. They told the banker that these diamonds might be a new type of diamond.  Never seen before on the market.  As a result, the bankers felt that they had encountered a treasure, a type of diamond that had never been seen before, which could be quite promising.  But they are still not stupid and hope to find out the output of this new diamond.  When Ohamer asked, Zhao Zeyong said that he could not predict the output.  But he vowed that no one else in the world could own this kind of diamond except himself.  O'Hammer's feedback is even more interesting to bankers.  They decided to give Zhao Zeyong a reasonable price and buy in large quantities, but required Zhao Zeyong to sign an exclusive supply contract with them.  When he learned that the bankers Ohamer was looking for were all experts in the diamond industry and a group of Jewish bankers, Zhao Zeyong almost laughed. Who said that Jews are shrewd businessmen?  Of course, Zhao Zeyong agreed to the request of these bankers and signed an exclusive contract with them, and would only supply them with any production in the future.  Of course, Zhao Zeyong only accepts gold. After all, gold is more reliable than US dollar banknotes.  Then Zhao Zeyong urged Wang Ming to quickly stock up.  But this kind of thing is not easy to make. Although technology can produce this kind of thing, the output is still very small, especially for gemstones. Even the production capacity of the United States is only 5 carats per hour, and 1,000 carats is one kilogram.  , that is, Americans only produce seven or eight kilograms a year.  If we really use this kind of gem-level artificial diamonds, I'm afraid it won't be a big deal. Seven or eight kilograms are produced every year. Calculated by the weight of diamonds and gold, it is only seven or eight hundred kilograms. One hundred kilograms.  Less than ten thousand dollars.  But as for ordinary artificial diamonds, the United States alone can produce more than 200 tons, not to mention that the Chinese have mastered the manufacturing method. Under normal circumstances, once China masters the production technology of a certain product, it can immediately be produced like the big ones.  Cabbage is produced like that.  I believe that stimulated by Wang Ming's large number of orders, Henan's content will soon catch up with the United States.  " If two hundred tons per year are produced, these lower-quality man-made diamonds will be produced. As long as Americans are willing to pay half or even lower prices, it will be enough to make Zhao Zeyong excited.  Two hundred tons of diamonds, each ton exchanged for fifty tons of gold, can be exchanged for ten thousand tons, which is enough to transport all the gold in the United States to China.  Of course, this is a bit fanciful. It is impossible for Americans to release all their gold reserves. Jewish bankers are not yet able to get the US government to liberalize the export of gold, but they are also able to exchange for a considerable amount of gold.?Part is out.  When Zhao Zeyong obtained a batch of ordinary man-made diamonds from Wang Ming for the second time and handed them over to the Americans, the Americans indeed believed that the quality of this batch of diamonds was not ideal, and they agreed to purchase them at one-third of the market price, which is one-third of the market price.  A gram of diamonds for thirty grams of gold.  This price is enough for Zhao Zeyong to laugh like crazy.  "This kind of cheap man-made item in modern times can be sold as a new type of diamond after the Republic of China. It's really a scam.  The Americans are not cheating, but they are cheating their sons.  Of course, you can't release too much of this kind of stuff at once. It just so happens that Wang Ming doesn't have much inventory and has already started to contact other sources of supply. He has tried every means to get in touch with Russia. Russia is also a big country in manufacturing artificial diamonds and is also a world leader in technology.  In terms of position, they can already produce 3mm artificial diamonds that are exactly the same as natural diamonds. In modern times, they can be fake and real, and neither experts, scholars nor laboratory scientists can tell the difference.  Wang Ming slowly collected the goods, and Zhao Zeyong slowly provided them to the Americans. Within a few months, nearly a ton was released, which made the Americans feel uneasy. They felt that it was too much and worried that the market could not digest it, and they also  Thirty tons of gold have been obtained for these diamonds. It is also very difficult for them to mobilize such a large amount of gold in a short period of time.  Zhao Zeyong stopped as soon as it was good. In addition, Wang Ming also needed time to prepare the goods, so he released the mist and said that all his inventory had been released and the production was too small to temporarily stop rolling.  On the contrary, this reassured the Americans. If diamond production is too large, the value will inevitably drop significantly.  So the Americans said that they were still willing to abide by the contract and continue to use gold to pay for Zhao Zeyong's diamonds.  At this rate, Zhao Zeyong is confident that before the U.S. economic crisis next year, one hundred tons of gold can be obtained from Americans through Xing'er's diamonds.  This is not a small amount. You must know that Zhao Zeyong has been exchanging gold in batches from the United States for reserve, and so far he has only obtained more than 100 tons.  The U.S. dollar in this era was quite valuable. After the outbreak of World War I, the gold content of the U.S. dollar was 1.50466 grams, which means that one gram of gold is only worth 0.6646 U.S. dollars, one gram of gold is only more than half a U.S. dollar, and one kilogram of gold is only 600 U.S. dollars.  A ton of gold costs just over 600,000 US dollars.  Zhao Zeyong has saved one billion US dollars in foreign exchange in the past few years, which can nominally be exchanged for more than a thousand tons of gold, but in fact it is impossible for the United States to allow so much gold to be exchanged.  They stipulate that only foreign banks and governments can conduct foreign exchange settlements with the United States. However, the Central Bank of China does not, and the federal provincial government has never been recognized by the Americans. In fact, they are all excuses. They are just unwilling to pay a large amount of gold to Zhao Zeyong.  .  Therefore, through various channels, Zhao Zeyong could only obtain more than a hundred tons of gold. If the diamonds had not aroused the interest of Jewish bankers this time, he would not have been able to obtain so much gold.  However, in order to calm the hearts of Jewish friends, Zhao Zeyong had to suspend diamond trading. However, diamond trading was only one of the transactions that Zhao Zeyong resold during his free time. Zhao Zeyong was more interested in reselling various technologies, which could be used for his own business.  Technology with actual strength-enhancing effects.
