I Repeated The Same Day For 500 Years

309 A Ransom of 100 Million US Dollars

In fact, Zhou Mingfei was wrong. He did not understand. He had no business dealings with Myanmar, and there were no conflicts of interest, so he did not know much about them. Like the public, he subconsciously thought of drugs when he thought of the border warlords in Myanmar! This was wrong! The main drug-related area in Myanmar was the Golden Triangle, not the northern part of Myanmar, which bordered China. The source of interest for the small warlords in the northern part of Myanmar and the reason for their frequent conflicts were the jade mines! The benefits of this thing were huge, and it was a business without any capital required. The mine was there, and it belonged to whoever occupied it! Different warlord areas had different ways of obtaining benefits. Some of them collected heavy taxes from the mine owners! It was an astronomical figure every year! In some areas, the warlords controlled the mines directly!

Ninety-five percent of the world’s market’s commodity-level jadeite all came from Myanmar! There were tens of thousands of jade mines in Myanmar, and the annual profit of jade smuggling in the entire northern part of Myanmar was more than 30 billion US dollars! The Poppy Group’s business deal with China was the smuggling of jade!

Five years ago, because the situation was too tense, Leon personally led his men across the border to Yun Tong province to discuss business and do lobbying. After that, he even went to Donghai. No one knew what was wrong with him, but he actually wanted to cooperate with Shao Ying! Leon had made the decision on his own and changed his schedule at the last minute. He wanted to show off and build a relationship with the Shao family. If he succeeded and got the Shao family’s help, his status in the Poppy Group would be further improved! But Shao Ying did not engage in smuggling!

Shao Ying had too many ways to earn money! It was all legal, so there was no need to take such a risk! However, Shao Ying still went to meet with Leon. After Shao Ying met Leon, she directly rejected Leon, indicating that she was not interested in the smuggling of jade. However, it was unknown what was wrong with Leon, but he actually threatened Shao Ying with his words. Old Ghost had done a few things for Shao Ying before, and Old Ghost was from the Poppy Group. Therefore, it was equivalent to the Poppy Group doing things for Shao Ying! Leon thought highly of himself, but he didn’t understand Shao Ying. He used those matters to threaten Shao Ying into ‘cooperating’ with him!

Shao Ying’s attitude changed because of this. In the end, she told Leon that he would consider it, but she needed to check with her family first. Leon then left, full of anticipation. He wanted to go back and wait for Shao Ying’s news. He wanted to give his uncle, Kun Tong, and Old Ghost a surprise! Just as he was walking out of the Yun Tong border and on his way back to Myanmar, he was killed by the people that Shao Ying had arranged on her way home! Including the five people who came with Leon, and Leon himself, a total of six people disappeared overnight! Feng Kun had personally led his men to do this!

Leon was a foreigner with a dirty background. Even when he entered the country, he used illegal means. Shao Ying arranged for someone to kill him, so she did not feel much psychological pressure. As long as the Poppy Group did not know who did it, it would be fine. Leon’s death was his fault for not speaking to Shao Ying in such a frank manner. This was his own decision! He had been tricked by Shao Ying! With his words, Shao Ying knew that the Poppy Group had no intention of cooperating with her, nor did they threaten her. It was just that Leon wanted to make a contribution and wanted to secretly get things done. So Leon died. And it would be impossible for the Poppy Group to find out who killed Leon because they had no idea that Leon had gone to look for Shao Ying!

Old Ghost was speechless for a long time after hearing this. He understood that Leon was courting death! Actually, this matter couldn’t even be said to be Shao Ying’s fault. It was Leon who was looking for trouble! He had even destroyed the reputation of the Poppy Group! He dared to use the previous matter to blackmail and sell out his employer, Shao Ying. Old Ghost also knew that doing such a thing was in line with Leon’s style! Leon was a very ambitious man. He was radical in his actions. He wanted to inherit his uncle’s position as General Kun Tong and become the boss of the Poppy Group!

Just as the Old Ghost was silent, Jiang Tong took out her phone again and entered an international number, then dialed it.

After more than ten seconds, the phone was finally picked up.

“Old Ghost is in my hands. 100 million US dollars as a ransom, will you consider it?” Jiang Tong said directly. The person on the other end of the line was the boss of the Poppy Group, General Kun Tong!

Old Ghost looked at Jiang Tong in shock! When Jiang Tong dialed the number, Old Ghost noticed that the number Jiang Tong had entered was very long. It was because she had added the international code used for international long-distance calls. Of course, Old Ghost knew the Myanmar long-distance code!
