    Fatty Dong, who was sitting in the car, was enjoying the cool breeze blowing from the air conditioner and said with a smile: "Fortunately there is a branch here, otherwise it would be really hot to take a taxi!" "It won't be too hot to death!  Well, how can a taxi not have air conditioning?" Liu Sizhe said with a smile.  () Hearing this, Lu Changshun smiled and said: "Not to mention, although there are many taxis here, they are basically dilapidated old cars without air conditioning. And there is no meter, so you must negotiate a good price before setting off.  "No, is there such a thing?" Liu Sizhe found this a bit unbelievable.  Fatty Dong said: "This is true. I heard before I came here that Myanmar is an underdeveloped country. Many taxis still use second-hand cars imported from the 1990s. It is quite normal to not have air conditioning" Liu Sizhe was speechless.  , he really thought he had never encountered a taxi without air conditioning.  Although the poverty of this country can be seen from the taxis, by analogy with the natural environment, Yangon should be among the most beautiful cities in the world.  When you drive into the city from the airport in the north of the city, you can see that there are lush tropical trees everywhere. The trees cover the houses under them like umbrellas. The lush flowers and trees are brightly colored, and many colonial-era buildings are hidden among them.  It also made Chu Chen and others feel a strong exotic and tropical atmosphere when they first arrived.  Yangon City is also full of tropical rainforest trees with broad crowns, fruit-laden coconut trees, and tropical flowers and trees with broad leaves and long stalks.  In May and June every year, you can also see mango trees and jackfruit trees laden with attractive fruits.  The hotel was booked by Zhao Qirui, called Sedona Hotel, which is a five-star hotel.  It is also the hotel where buyers of jadeite wool from the Mainland, Xiangjiang and Baodao stay, around this time every year.  Hotels are always fully booked if you don't book early.  Basically it's hard to find any room left.  As soon as Chu Chen and his party got out of the car, an old man in his fifties and a middle-aged man in his forties came up to them. After the introduction, they found out that they were the stone betting experts hired by Fatty Dong. The old man's surname was Jiang.  Middle-aged men are named Qi.  Fatty Dong introduced the two parties to each other. When they heard that Chu Chen was the winner of last year's "A Deal for a Thousand Dollars", they were very enthusiastic.  Although they don¡¯t know what Chu Chen¡¯s strength is, they know Leng Shaming¡¯s name.  They all know that, since Chu Chen can still defeat Leng Shaming under such unfavorable circumstances, what is there to doubt about his level?  After the two sides exchanged some pleasantries, Chu Chen heard a voice not far away: "Hey, Xiao Chu, you are here too. Why didn't you call me before you came? I can go pick you up."  !¡± Chu Chen looked back and saw that it was Zhang Yanbin, followed by several people whom Chu Chen also knew.  It was the stone gambling master and staff in his company.  "We have half a gangster here!" Chu Chen patted Fatty Dong on the shoulder and said with a smile.  Zhang Yanbin knew before that Fatty Dong¡¯s family was probably not simple, but he didn¡¯t expect that he actually had a company in Myanmar.  He looked at the high-end business car parked next to him, then stepped forward and patted Fatty Dong on the shoulder and said: "Fatboy. Why didn't you tell me earlier that your family has a company here? You didn't know. Let's find it.  It¡¯s really hard to get a better car!¡± Fatty Dong smiled and said, ¡°You didn¡¯t ask me about this, so what I said was just to show off¡± At this time, Zhao Qirui said: ¡°Okay, let¡¯s go ahead.  Don't stand at the door, let's talk after we go in!" The group of people walked to the lobby of the hotel. Here, Chu Chen met some of his friends again, such as Hou Yuanming, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Qian Yiyou, Zhang Xinghui, Xu Jiangcheng and others who were always at odds with each other.  , and there were also many jade merchants who had watched Chu Chen gamble on stones.  Chu Chen greeted them with a smile and shook hands with them one by one. After everyone left, even his body, which was basically not tired now, was a little overwhelmed.  Walking into the elevator, Liu Sizhe said with a funny face: "Brother Chen, if you continue like this, I think you should change your appearance every time you go out." Chu Chen shook his head helplessly: "There is no way  , this is called people being afraid of being famous and pigs being afraid of being strong" The few people chatted and laughed, and soon arrived at the floor of their respective rooms, because Fatty Dong and his friends did not book their rooms together, and they lived in the same room as Chu Chen and his friends.  Not a floor.  "Second uncle, Xiao Chen" Chu Chen and others had just stepped out of the elevator when they met Wan Qijun, Yi Hongguo and Qiang Zhaojun who were about to enter the elevator and go downstairs.  The two sides exchanged greetings. Zhao Qirui, because he had not called them beforehand, smiled and asked, "Wanqi, when did you arrive?" "IThey arrived yesterday.  " Wan Qijun replied with a smile, and then asked: "Your flight shouldn't be late, why did you get up so late?  Originally, we were planning to go downstairs to have a look, but we didn't expect you to come up just in time.  " Zhao Qirui laughed: "You have to ask Achen about this.  "    "what happened?  Junior brother, what trouble have you encountered?  "Yi Hongguo asked quickly. "I didn't encounter any trouble, but there were too many people saying hello" Chu Chen scratched his head and explained the reason. "When the three of them heard that this was the case, they were all overjoyed.  After a while, Yi Hongguo smiled and said: "Not to mention, yesterday I heard a friend I just met said that I am very much looking forward to you being able to compete with the Jade King this time, and he also said that many of my colleagues are  So looking forward to it.  " Hearing this, Chu Chen shook his head repeatedly and said: "Let's forget about it. Now I already feel it's so troublesome. It's easy to say if I lose then, but if I win, then I really have to go out like Azhe said just now.  It¡¯s all so easy to tolerate.  " Hearing what he said, everyone laughed. Zhao Qirui said: "I support this. For people like us, fame is sometimes a burden. It's enough for you now. It's better for us to keep silent and make a fortune" Everyone again  After chatting for a while, the group went to their respective rooms, tidied up, bowed, and then took a quick shower. After Chu Chen had just changed his clothes and sent a few text messages to Wu Ke, he received a call from Zhao Qirui.  The call came and asked him to go downstairs to have dinner. After hanging up, Chu Chen looked out the window and found that it was still early outside. He was a little surprised why he was having dinner now. Then he looked at his mobile phone and found out,  It turns out that the time here is one and a half hours slower than in our country. Based on mainland time, it is almost six o'clock in the evening. After all, everyone except Chu Chen is quite tired after taking a flight for more than seven hours.  So, after a lively dinner in the evening, a large group of people chatted for a while, and then went back to their rooms to rest. The next day, everyone had breakfast in the restaurant, and Liu Sizhe suggested:  "The auction will start tomorrow. Let's go to the Shwedagon Pagoda today. It's a world-famous scenic spot. After a long trip, you can't end up not visiting even one scenic spot, right?  " Chu Chen was also the first to come to Myanmar, and he did not object to Liu Sizhe's proposal. Fatty Dong also agreed with both hands. Although Zhang Yanbin had been there several times, he had nothing to do in the hotel, so he agreed immediately.  "I've been there a few times, but I won't go there.  "Zhao Qirui said. "Yi Hongguo and others also said that they had been there several times and did not want to go again. Of course, there was another reason that was not mentioned. They are all of this age, and there is a generation gap with the young people.  In the end, only Wan Qijun was left, and Chu Chen smiled and said: "Brother-in-law, we have Brother Zhang as our tour guide. If you don't want to go, then don't go.  " "Okay, then you guys have fun" The world-famous Shwedagon Pagoda is located on the west side of Gandoji Lake in Yangon. The pronunciation of Shwedagon Pagoda in Burmese is close to the three words "Shui Dagong" in Chinese. The pronunciation of the word. In Burmese, the pronunciation of the word gold is similar to the Chinese word "water". I don't know if this word was developed from the fact that water can make money in our Feng Shui theory. The Shwedagon Pagoda is not close to the hotel. It was far away, less than ten minutes by car. Because it was a landmark building, Chu Chen saw the inverted bell-shaped Shwedagon Pagoda and the small pagodas next to it. Under the blue sky and white clouds, golden light shone, and it looked really solemn and magnificent. When everyone got out of the car and saw the nearly 100-meter-high golden pagoda, the eyes of Chu Chen and others who came here for the first time were filled with excitement. Everyone involuntarily showed shocked expressions. The Shwedagon Pagoda was built in AD 585. The tower is more than 99 meters high and the circumference of the tower base is more than 400 meters. The umbrella-shaped decoration on the top of the tower is made of gold and has a weight of 1,250 meters. The metal umbrella, 1,065 gold bells, and 420 silver bells are inlaid with more than 7,000 diamonds, red, sapphires and emeralds. The entire tower is covered with gold and is enshrined in the tower. A jade Buddha statue, plus 4 middle pagodas and 64 small pagodas, consumes more than 7 tons of pure gold foil. When Chinese people visit the Shwedagon Pagoda, they often "talk about" the gold inlaid on the Shwedagon Pagoda (the total weight is 7 tons). tons) and gems. The whole country of Myanmar agrees that the reason why Myanmar is prosperous and prosperous is thanks to the Shwedagon Pagoda. At the entrance of the Shwedagon Pagoda, Zhang Yanbin first introduced the history of the Shwedagon Pagoda: " Together with Angkor Wat and Borobudur, it is known as the "three major monuments in Southeast Asia". Together with the Great Wall of my country and the Taj Mahal Mausoleum in India, it is the unified"As the "Five Wonders of the East"" Chu Chen and others went to buy tickets first. For foreigners to visit the Shwedagon Pagoda, the ticket is 5 meters. However, it is free to visit the Shwedagon Pagoda before 7:30 in the morning. Buy it  After receiving the tickets, Zhang Yanbin told everyone some things to pay attention to: " Another thing to note is that when visiting temples in Myanmar, you must remember to take off your shoes and go barefoot, otherwise it will be disrespectful!  "(To be continued)
