The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

Chapter 583: Arrived in Zimbabwe

Not to mention imaginary, if Chen members alone carve a one-meter-long rested tooth and use the finest ideas and techniques to carve, it will take a whole year to complete.

The inheritance of dental carving is promising, but its superior institutions should not even think about making a profit.

Because Zhang Nan said: I don't need to give face to anyone.

Although this is an exaggeration, there will always be people who need to sell face, but such people are not the four people in the living room who can be moved and influenced.

The embassy is not a decoration. I quickly figured out who Zhang Nan was before. The superior department simply told the secretary: It is okay to contact the relationship, but it must not make people unhappy.

As for the reason, the superior did not say.

I didn't say, this is more clear than the attitude of explaining the reason-it is not something people at your level can know.

That's it. Zhang Nan will have guests here again, and Zhang Nan didn't leave these few for dinner.

This year and month are inappropriate and unnecessary.

When people left, Guan Xingquan said, "Why don't they try their luck in Zimbabwe? The family relationship should be good with that."

"There is a single target, and there is nothing to eat. There is news from all over the world in the front, and it is not easy for Zimbabweans to change it. At most, they can think of something from the inventory."

As for how to think of a solution, it doesn't matter what Zhang Nan is.

...

Tato arrived with the Tswaman named Morale who had been with him before. They had changed their uniforms and wore ordinary shirts.

Zhang Nan expressed his gratitude at the auction of ivory before, and gave each of them a case of decent French wine, plus two bottles of Moutai each.

Africans love to drink, and Zhang Nan is quite knowledgeable in Botswana.

Listening to the report before leaving the mine, this is the beginning of dealing with the locals, one hand mineral water, the other hand is absolutely right!

In front of the chief at dinner, the Tato and the two dared not let go of the drink, it would be very rude to drink high. After the meal, thanked the respected chief for the wine, the two semi-drunk "owners" drove a pickup truck with warning lights and left.

"Drinking and not driving, driving and not drinking, these two guys don't overturn their cars halfway."

When the person left, Zhang Nan looked at the gate and said something.

Guan Xingquan, who drank half a bottle of Moutai on the side, was a little puzzled, "What logic, I think they have a higher chance of hitting a cow."

Drinking and not driving?

Here is not the United States.

"Haha! In all likelihood, they will still be bulls, so they will be miserable!"

Zhang Nan laughed: There are more cattle than people here. It is said that there are about 230,000 heads in normal years, and 50,000 heads can be raised in rainy years!

The kingdom of cattle.

Zhang Nan has heard such a joke: A diplomat from the Chinese Embassy in Botswana went to visit the Attorney General. She was in a meeting at the Presidential Palace and was about to be back half an hour late.

The diplomat waited in her office. The secretary brought the newspaper to let him spend some time, and the diplomat took the initiative to chat with the secretary: "The newspaper said that Gaborone's milk is in short supply and the price continues to rise."

The secretary echoed: "Yes, it has risen by almost a half."

The diplomat asked again: "I don't understand that Botswana has more cattle than people, so why is there a shortage of milk?"

The secretary of the attorney general asked, "No matter how many men, can they give birth and breastfeed?"

It really seems that there are more bulls, and Zhang Nan said "miserable" because cattle are precious here. It is said that hitting a bull in a traffic accident is more troublesome than hitting a person.

As for drunk driving...

Now Huaxia doesn't pay attention to this, let alone Botswana, there is no such saying at all.

Hearing Zhang Nan's ridicule, Guan Xingquan said coolly on the side: "It's not terrible, that Tato also used a wooden stick."

Well, a bull-driving stick.

Ordinary police officers have "sticks and scepters", not to mention that Tato, the police captain-the security personnel of the Wildlife Administration, is equivalent to the police in Botswana. Zhang Nan guessed that it is probably similar to the forest police in China.

If you hit a bull, hit the bull. The big deal is to lose your head. Botswana's law stipulates that civil servants can also buy land near the city.

Why are you buying land?

Raise cattle!

About 80% of Botswana's people are directly or indirectly engaged in cattle breeding. In Africa, Botswana has a higher number of cattle per capita than other countries.

It is also numbered in the world.

The wealth of a person in Botswana is directly proportional to the number of cattle raised. The more cattle, the richer and the higher his social status.

Tato and the others also have cows. People here like to "store" their wealth in the form of cows—if they have money in their hands, they often don't deposit them in the bank, but save them to buy cows.

What should I do if I am short of money?

Simple, just sell a few cows.

From tribal chiefs, military and political officials to civilians, the few have a few or a dozen cows, and the more have hundreds or even thousands of cows.

Business owners, large business owners and those high-ranking officials own thousands of cows. It is not surprising in Botswana. Tato has more than 30 cows, and even the clerk, Morale, has more than 10 cows.

People living in cities basically have farms in their home villages or near their places of work. They usually work in cities, and their relatives or hired people take care of the cattle on the farm.

On weekends and holidays, people like Tato would drive to the farm and enjoy the rural life. When they return to the city, they often bring back a cart full of agricultural products, self-produced, self-sufficient, and self-sufficient.

There is usually a lot of unopened land around the urban-rural junction, full of weeds and shrubs, and cattle-raisers simply adapt to local conditions and graze on the spot.

Even in the city, sometimes you will see groups of cows hovering in the middle of the road-there are cows just near the Regent Hotel. Who makes this place belong to the suburbs.

This cow is still free-range, and it's accustomed to watch too much, just don't smell the peculiar smell.

On the second day, Brown handled the transportation of ivory and rhino horn. On the third day, he took a plane to Harare, Zimbabwe.

It is a modern European-style city that is cool as spring all year round and has pleasant four seasons. It has a beautiful environment, but who could have imagined that it will be rated as the world's least livable city in 2011.

As for the reason, the Zimbabwean government killed itself. Inflation is shocking, and the currency depreciation to the extent that it can be calculated with aggregate numbers~www.readwn.com~ This time I got off the plane, without even leaving the airport, I directly changed two small passenger planes to Umtali, 3oo kilometers away to the east. , Next to the border of Mozambique.

The land that Zhang Nan bought in Zimbabwe was a large piece of primitive landform about 12 kilometers in length and 4 kilometers in width just a dozen kilometers southwest of Umtali.

A few kilometers to the north is the railway from Zimbabwe to Mozambique. There were originally only a few crops on the surface.

When Zhang Nan stood on this piece of land that belonged to him, he couldn't even think that this agricultural area less than 15 kilometers away from a city of 70,000 people was a huge diamond alluvial mining area.

It is less than 2o kilometers away from the border, and the surrounding scenery can be counted as beautiful. The east is mountainous, and Mozambique is turned over.

Standing on the side of the newly built highway, looking at this mine that is going to a quarter of the world's diamond output under the chaotic way of mining operations, I feel a little bit emotional.

Now everything here is my own, and the legal documents are clearly written, but the paper is often unreliable.

"Brother Guan, there may be hundreds of billions of dollars worth of diamonds here. Would you be crazy if you were the government of Zimbabwe?"

"You share half of the benefits to the Botswana people, and they may regret it. From now on you will not give Zimbabwe a dime, and they will have trouble with you 800%."

"Then what to do?"

"Simple, this is Africa, and the big fist is the boss."

Guan Xingquan didn't care.

"But this is not Botswana. There are thirty or forty thousand troops."

"There are still a lot of opposition parties, don't worry too much." Guan Xingquan pointed to a building under construction in another direction, and said: "If you have them, this place will always be yours."
