Global Tour|I am in Myanmar - Mandalay
Amazing, it's easy to earn 10 million a year! Stay in Myanmar live broadcast with jade, there are really many goods here!
01
Mandalay's busy jade market
Today, a jade anchor, Ji Ge, took me on a tour of a large jade market in the northern Myanmar city of Mandalay.
Brother Ji told me, you have so many real fans, it's easy to earn 10 million a year! Stay in Myanmar live broadcast with jade, there are really many goods here!
I said, first of all, I am not short of this money (I can earn it after I have money), and secondly, I don't understand jade, and it is not realistic to sell jade live broadcast. Third, my first task is to travel all over the world, more than 150 countries in the world, interview thousands of Chinese people, and write a complete collection of Chinese people from all over the world. In this world, only me, a Chinese, does this, interviewing different Chinese people in different countries every day. I feel like this incident gives me a greater sense of value!
But if you say that 10 million hearts are not moved, there is still a ripple. But for me, breaking even is satisfying.
In addition, Ji Ge said that the price of jade in Mandalay has risen too fast now, especially in the past two years, the price of really good quality jade has increased by two or three times. And the price of jadeite of inferior quality has not changed much.
At the same time, because of the special cultural factors, China has become the main market for Myanmar jade. (90% of the world's jade is produced in Myanmar, and 90% of the world's jade goes to the Chinese market).
Out of the Chinese circle, jade is not popular. For example, the West prefers agate gemstones and the like, and the Middle East and India prefer gold.
This means that Myanmar's jade resources are accurately exported to China. This also allows a large number of good jade to be transported directly to China (Ruili and other places) directly at the source.
The local anchor told me that good jade is hard to find now, and the supply is running out because the Chinese market is in high demand.

Enter the jade market
From the center of Mandalay, take a tuk-tuk for 10 yuan to the jade market.
Entering the jade market costs 4,000 kyats, which is about 8 yuan or less.
On the outskirts of the market, there are many Chinese signs, and Chinese food and fast food restaurants are readily available from all over China.
The guide told me that there are 6,000 Chinese living here who specialize in live broadcasting!
I said, huh? 6,000 people, impossible!
He said that there are 6,000 people in the anchor plus the live broadcast team, and a streamer usually needs three assistants.
Myanmar MSL told me that this is the largest local live broadcast boss in Myanmar, and at its peak, it sold nearly 100 million yuan in one night (all the anchors of the live broadcast company he opened behind him that night).
When it comes to the market, these anchors are millions and tens of millions of units of measurement, and they still go out to eat fast food for 10 yuan.

Along the way, he encountered fakes and was violently prevented from recording
After entering the gate, I told the guide that I should take a look around first.
Then, I was recording all the way with a video recorder, it was really crowded here, there were more than a dozen anchors sitting in rows in some facades, and there were also queues of people in front of the windows outside, and everyone was holding one or two "stones" on their mobile phones, either finished jade, or semi-finished products.
The anchor in the window shouted loudly, and the crowd on the line was buying jade.
While I was recording this busy scene, I saw a couple of people drilling a rock, so I stepped forward with a VCR to record it.
At this time, a Chinese stepped forward to block me.
He said, "No record!"
I said, what's wrong?
He said, "This is my thing!" I can't just show you anything!
So, I left feeling inexplicable.
Later, the guide told me that the stone was fake and that he was faking it......
I said, I see......
