Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 833: Chapter 829: Traffic Accident?

Spending money like water, Huo Sining’s mood was extremely good. The progress was so smooth, this trip to Xishuangbanna was really worth it.

The villagers in the Dai Family Village suddenly had such a huge income, with everyone getting several hundred yuan a day, of course, everyone was very excited.

Moreover, the resin is a renewable resource. After harvesting it this year, it will grow again next year, so they were not worried about it running out.

After receiving the money on the first day, the villagers were no longer skeptical about this business and were very excited. The next day they got up even earlier, full of energy and enthusiasm.

For four days in a row, they got up early and stayed up late, trekking through the jungle, and the villagers were getting exhausted. Huo Sining received over ten tons of goods and spent all the two million in cash, and finally transferred more than four hundred thousand to Yan En.

At this time, the ten or so square meters of space in the storage ring was filled with balsam crates.

Once the resin entered the time-freezing storage ring, it no longer changed. Because the raw materials were delivered to Huo Sining very promptly, the balsam was bright yellow and very attractive, clearly full of medicinal properties.

Because of this business, Yan En also earned hundreds of thousands. The young man, getting so much money for the first time, was a bit stunned. After a long while, he looked at Huo Sining and said: ”Is this a dream?”

Seeing Yan En’s honest look, Huo Sining found it funny. Thinking of the jungle treasure trove in Xishuangbanna, she felt a deep sense of awe.

The five-day trip ended here. With the successful harvest of the balsam, Huo Sining felt much more at ease and wasn’t in a hurry to return to S City. She decided to stay in Xishuangbanna for a day to look around.

Yan En volunteered to be the guide. The young man, overnight becoming a small millionaire, didn’t show any arrogance. He was still as shy as before but much warmer and closer to Huo Sining.

After visiting Canglan River, Wild Elephant Valley, and the Tea Horse Ancient Road, Huo Sining was a bit exhausted. After discussing the cooperation plan for next year’s balsam harvest with Yan En, she was ready to head home.

On the seventh day, early in the morning, Huo Sining got on a bus to Jinghong City. It takes nearly two hours by bus from Xishuangbanna to Jinghong City.

The bus was bumping along the road, and Huo Sining unknowingly fell asleep. In her half-asleep state, she suddenly felt her body lurch forward. The bus stopped on the road with a screech of brakes.

”What’s going on? Why did we stop?”

Hearing a question from someone nearby, Huo Sining was also puzzled. Looking out the window following everyone’s gaze, she saw a dozen cars blocked in front.

Was there an accident ahead?

With this thought in mind, Huo Sining stayed seated.

After about five minutes, the ticket collector who went to inquire rushed back, holding a piece of rough material in his hand, his eyes full of excitement:

”A vehicle overturned in front, and all its rough materials were scattered on the road. The boss said it was unlucky and is selling the materials at a discount. All pieces, regardless of size, are only selling for five hundred yuan each.”

Many people on the bus were locals from Yunnan; hearing this news, many couldn’t sit still and eagerly got off the bus and ran to the site.

Huo Sining naturally overheard the ticket collector. However, with her understanding of rough materials, rough materials sold for five hundred yuan each were likely just brick materials with a very low chance of containing jadeite.

Out of curiosity, she followed the crowd to the site.

A dozen vehicles were parked on the road. Many owners had gotten off and there indeed was an overturned truck ahead.

The truck’s cargo compartment was overturned on the road, and a pile of stones of various sizes were scattered on the road. A crowd was gathered around the pile of stones.

In the center of the rough material pile, there was someone who looked like the boss, holding a stack of money. With a bag slung in front of him, he was trying his best to explain.

”To be honest with you, this batch of rough stones was brought in by a friend from Myanmar. Whether you can get jadeite depends on your luck. I can’t guarantee all of them will yield jadeite, but I can assure you that they are all genuine old site rough stones. If there’s any problem, I’ll refund ten times the price!”

The boss shouted while stirring the stones with his feet: ”Look, look, this is Pagang Stone, genuine Hei Wu Sha. If these stones were put on the jadeite auction market, I wouldn’t sell them for less than a hundred thousand yuan! If it weren’t for today’s bad luck, I wouldn’t be selling these rough materials at such a discount!”

Among the crowd were people from Ruili and Tengchong. Hearing that these were imports, they became tempted and eagerly came forward to select the stones.

Someone unfamiliar started asking, ”What are these stones for? They cost five hundred yuan each, what’s the purpose?”

A person from Ruili couldn’t help but laugh. While selecting stones, he patiently explained:

”These are not ordinary stones. They are the most famous gambling stones in Yun Province, which are rough jadeite. You heard the boss just now, these are imported from Myanmar. This is a money-burning hobby. If transported to Tengchong or Ruili, the price will soar. In Tengchong or Ruili, five hundred yuan could only buy you worthless brick materials.”

Hearing this explanation, Huo Sining couldn’t help but shake her head. If it was really as the boss said, rough materials worth a hundred thousand yuan being sold for five hundred yuan would be a huge loss.

Huo Sining also looked at the pile of rough materials on the ground. They didn’t look like old site rough materials and didn’t have any Python Band patterns; they were clearly just old brick materials stored for an unknown number of years.

Huo Sining suspiciously looked at the Ruili and Tengchong locals, suspecting that they might be shills for the boss.

Unfortunately, Huo Sining was rational, but the others who got off the bus were not as clear-headed. Hearing that these stones might contain jade, combined with a few locals endorsing the words, they believed it completely.

Seeing someone start to frantically search the pile, the crowd quickly lost their composure, fearing that good stones would be snatched by others. They began to pick the stones they liked.

Being outsiders and not understanding gambling stones, but knowing that these stones could possibly contain jadeite, the allure of suddenly becoming rich was too irresistible. Soon people started paying for the stones they had chosen and left.

For Huo Sining, this was not her first encounter with gambling stones. Compared to these rough materials on the roadside, she would rather go to a gambling stone shop, even if it was more expensive. At least in a shop, there was quality assurance; if there were any problems, she wouldn’t be afraid of not finding someone to resolve them.
