Chapter 280 Badong Town

Britain was the former sect leader of Ajiya. Although the British army withdrew from Ajiya's territory more than 20 years ago, after years of rule, the British still had a very special status in this country. In addition, the British are also strong internationally, so in hotels run by the British, locals generally dare not cause trouble, and personal and property safety can be guaranteed.

Of course, it is hard to say when leaving the hotel. So after Fang Zibai arranged Su Zhiyan and Xia Yunjie, he specifically told them not to go out at night, especially to the old city. There were a lot of street lights, many dark and dead corners, and there were complex people, so many poor people were concentrated there. With Xia Yunjie's body, Fang Zibai really couldn't feel at ease to let him take Mr. Su around, especially at night.

During the day, it is generally safe in urban areas.

Perhaps because Fang Zibai talked about too many things about Ah and Ya's unstable things, Su Zhiyan couldn't help but be afraid, so what Su Zhiyan wanted was a suite with a guest room, not two next door rooms.

Because of the tired journey, Su Zhiyan went to bed early after dinner, but Xia Yunjie sat on the windowsill looking at the starry sky outside but couldn't sleep.

On the one hand, it was because this little fatigue was nothing to him, and on the other hand, it was because he hadn't seen such a deep night sky full of stars for a long time.

Sitting there looking at the night sky, Xia Yunjie couldn't help but think that although Africa is poor and backward, they still have blue sky and white clouds. They can still see such deep night sky full of stars, but in many places in China, they can no longer see blue sky and white clouds.

I had no dreams all night. When Xia Yunjie finished his daily homework and pushed out the door, he saw Su Zhiyan wearing denim shorts and a loose white bat shirt, holding her snow-white and slender legs, sitting in front of the windowsill of the living room, looking at the sea not far away, dazed.

The golden rising sun fell on her body, looking a little lonely.

In fact, it is not easy to be a strong woman. Xia Yunjie looked at the beautiful figure who seemed a little lonely and lonely, and sighed secretly, then greeted Su Zhiyan, "Mr. Su is early."

"Haha, I was so sleepy last night, but I woke up after sleeping for a few hours. I don't know how many days it will take to reverse the jet lag." Seeing Xia Yunjie coming out, Su Zhiyan stroked her hair and smiled at him.

Xia Yunjie smiled and said, "Does Mr. Su want breakfast now? Should he go to the restaurant to eat or have someone deliver it to the room?"

After saying that, Xia Yunjie found that he was becoming more and more like a professional private bodyguard.

"Go to the restaurant to have a meal and take a look at the environment here." Su Zhiyan stretched lazily, then stood up and said.

Su Zhiyan's waist was very thin and white. When she stretched, she inadvertently exposed a piece of snow-white skin, which was dazzlingly white in the sun, which made Xia Yunjie, who had the lazy and charming side of the female boss Su Zhiyan for the first time, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

The breakfast provided by the hotel is Western style breakfast, bread, cheese, bacon, etc. People who eat in the restaurant rarely see black people, basically foreigners.

Su Zhiyan has lived in the United States and has already adapted to Western food. However, Xia Yunjie is a little uncomfortable and has not eaten as much as Su Zhiyan.

After breakfast, it was about nine o'clock when Fang Zibai and the black driver Emu came to pick up Su Zhiyan and Xia Yunjie.

Weida Company's main project in Remalan City is to build a commercial city in the new city. In addition to this commercial city, there are several small projects, but the amount of funds is not large.

This time, Su Zhiyan rushed to Ajiya in person. In addition to looking at the local engineering construction situation, her biggest purpose was actually to examine the feasibility of investing in local mineral development.

In addition to oil and natural gas, Ajiya also has rich other mineral resources, especially iron ore and manganese ore. There are 1.7 billion tons of iron ore and nearly 100 million tons of manganese ore. With the rapid development of the economy in China, mineral products are increasingly dependent on imports.

Africa has rich mineral resources and low development costs. It is a piece of fat in the eyes of many people. Everyone wants to take a bite, and Su Zhiyan is no exception.

The buildings here are actually not much different from those in China. They are nothing more than many dark faces. When they live, the black people keep moving their mouths and do things slowly, but they are more active in eating than anything else. There are also many Chinese workers, but they are all as sun-dried as loaches.

Those who come to work in Africa, whether white or yellow, are all men almost a thousand times due to environmental restrictions. Therefore, there is a popular saying in Africa: "After staying in Africa for a long time, you can see that the sows have double eyelids." Not to mention that a beautiful boss suddenly came to the construction site.

Under the sunlight, the two pretty white legs exposed under the denim shorts, and the two peaks that were towering under the thin bat shirt made the Chinese people on the construction site look shining. I guess if it weren't for Su Zhiyan's special identity, these guys who saw that the sows had double eyelids would have dared to whistle at Su Zhiyan.

The sun in Africa is hot and the environment on the construction site is poor. Xia Yunjie thought that Su Zhiyan, the beautiful boss with tender skin, had been inspecting the construction site for a day, and it should have stopped the next day. Unexpectedly, in the next few days, Su Zhiyan would be spinning or working on the construction site almost every day, which made Xia Yunjie look at her, the beautiful boss of a wealthy family, a lot of different eyes.

Except for the first day when Fang Zibai and Emu were picked up and dropped off, starting the next day, with Su Zhiyan's insistence, Fang Zibai had no choice but to leave the scarred Volkswagen off-road vehicle for her, and Xia Yunjie would pick it up and drop it off every day.

However, when leaving the car, Fang Zibai, a sturdy man, was like an old woman with a mother-in-law and mother. He repeatedly reminded Xia Yunjie and Su Zhiyan many times. He must not drive around at night. It is best to tell them in advance if he wants to leave the city during the day, and send a few people to follow him.

Su Zhiyan was obviously a very independent and adventurous woman. At first, Su Zhiyan listened to Fang Zibai's instructions honestly, staying at the construction site during the day and returning to the hotel at night. But after a few days, the construction site was almost the same as the handling, and Su Zhiyan was unwilling to stay in the hotel, so she began to ask Xia Yunjie to drive her out alone to learn about the folk customs of Remalan City.

At first, Su Zhiyan was quite cautious and only strolled around the downtown area near the hotel. However, she gradually became familiar with the black environment everywhere, and no unexpected happened. She gradually relaxed her guard and began to gradually develop from the near hotel to the streets and alleys of the entire city.

Xia Yunjie doesn't care. No matter whether the African public security is good or bad, it is not dangerous for him.

On this day, Su Zhiyan pulled Xia Yunjie out again, and this time it was no longer limited to Remalan City, but Badong Town, a small town in the suburbs of Remalan City.

Badong Town is about 40 kilometers away from Remalan City, and is the most famous market for selling wild game near Remalan City. The entire market sells wild game, including wild pangolins, crocodiles, large lizards, even sika deer, zebras, monkeys, etc. All ivory is also sold. Although African governments are calling for the cessation of hunting and killing of elephants, the transaction of ivory is not restricted and the price is very cheap. However, it is not easy to transport ivory back. As long as you leave Africa, the customs of various countries will not restrict the transportation of ivory (including its products) in accordance with international conventions; all 0 grams to 500 grams will be confiscated and destroyed on the spot; more than 500 grams will be imposed.

Su Zhiyan was not interested in wild game, ivory, etc., she just wanted to see it. The most important thing was that she heard that the area of ​​Badong Town is a place for iron ore. Recently, there are many things on the construction site in Remalan City, and Fang Zibai is relatively busy, so Su Zhiyan wanted to go and have a look first and learn about it.

When I drove out of Remalan City, the windows were filled with barren and primitive atmosphere. The houses I saw along the way were basically made of thatch and soil.

On the way, I also saw two mining plants, but the scale was relatively small and the mining method was rough and backward. One of the mine owners was from Zhejiang.

Foreigners are relatively united and friendly. When the mine owner saw Su Zhiyan and Xia Yunjie's arrival, he welcomed them very enthusiastically, and was very surprised that a beautiful boss like Su Zhiyan dared to walk around in a car with a pretty bodyguard like Xia Yunjie.

On the side of this mine owner, Su Zhiyan roughly learned about the situation of mining here. She didn't know if she didn't ask, but then she found out that many good minerals in Africa were in the hands of Western colonists, mainly in the hands of the British. Although Ajiya later became independent, she also wanted to protect the property rights of these Western colonists. Otherwise, Britain and other Western powers would disagree. The core of their peacekeeping forces was actually to protect their assets overseas.

When Chinese people come here, basically all they can develop is small mines. To open these mines, they not only have to pay high personal income tax, but also have to pay high shareholder taxes to local chiefs. Because local residents and governments believe that investors are plundering their resources, they must pay heavy taxes. In fact, this is true. In fact, African minerals seem cheap, but in fact the profit is not as high as expected. But the boss of Zhejiang told Su Zhiyan a trick, that is, in the face of such high taxes, if you want to reduce costs, you have to pay bribes. Bribery here is much more rampant than in China. A strange phenomenon is that the black people do not hate bribery, because those who can bleed are foreign gold diggers and Western colonists. Taking bribes can allow their black tribes to gain a lot of wealth after gaining power.

After leaving the Zhejiang boss's mine, Su Zhiyan's mood was obviously much lower than when she first came out. She came from a wealthy family and had a strong family's capital. From the beginning, she turned her attention to the vast market in Africa, which shows that she had great ambitions and a much higher vision than the Zhejiang boss, so she would not be limited to small-scale fights. However, the reality does not seem to be as simple and optimistic as she imagined.
