With Matiel's condition stabilized, the process of the Chinese delegation to South Africa has become much smoother.

Vice Premier Xiao took dozens of members to inspect several important cities in South Africa to see if there were any business opportunities for cooperation.

The location of the investigation naturally includes the location of Ni Ye's two investment gold mines - Free State Province.

Because before going abroad, Ni Jingqiu gave Su Tao the opportunity to go to the gold mine to take a look, and Su Tao also took the opportunity to take a short vacation to come to the gold mine jointly developed by Ni and Ye to visit the situation here.

Accompanying Su Tao were Ji Xiangjun and a Zhongnanhai bodyguard, the reason why Su Tao took Ji Xiangjun was mainly because he was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, and he was afraid that she would frame herself behind her back again.

The working conditions in the gold mine were worse than expected, and every morning at 5 a.m., I had to sit in a metal cage, descend to a depth of four kilometers underground, and then carry a 30-kilogram tool bag on my back and walk three kilometers through a dark and damp passage. Sometimes, the passage is too narrow and you have to crawl forward. When you get to your place of work, you need to work there for eight hours. The main work of the day is to blow up ore with explosives, drill ore with drill bits, and dig ore with shovels. Gold mining accidents in South Africa are frequent, with an average of more than 100 miners dying each year.

The person in charge of the gold mine here is a middle-aged Chinese man in his forties, everyone calls him Uncle Hai, it is said that when he was young, he was the squad leader of the special forces elite squad, and he had ten Chinese under him, mainly responsible for management, and the miners were mostly blacks recruited locally.

The cost of hiring Chinese people is very high, the monthly salary is more than 6,000 Chinese yuan, and the salary of local blacks is relatively low, and many people are willing to rush to work for 2,000 Chinese yuan, while the average semi-skilled worker only has a monthly salary of 5 or 600 Chinese yuan.

Coming to a relatively simple wooden house, Uncle Hai made a cup of tea for Su Tao and the others, Su Tao took a sip, and there was a smoky smell in the taste, he was a little uncomfortable, but he didn't show it.

Uncle Hai's attitude was more kind, "Doctor Su, I heard that you are going to Nansi Dawang?"

"Yes, I'm going to meet with Ye Sheng there, he has a friend who is sick and wants me to go and help with treatment. Su Tao didn't hide it.

Uncle Hai lowered his voice and said, "I got the news that the young master of the Ye family found a mine over there, is it true?"

The gold mine in the Free State Province was nominally jointly developed by the Ni Ye family, but the Ni family occupied the dominant power, and Uncle Hai was a member of the Ni family's camp.

"I don't know the specifics. I just went over to help with the treatment. Su Tao replied with a smile, although Uncle Hai is his own person, the matter of the diamond mine is more important, and it should not be widely spread, otherwise it will bring great trouble to Ye Sheng.

Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of Su Tao's mouth, Uncle Hai didn't continue to ask, and changed the topic with a smile: "I heard that you were attacked a few days ago? ”

"No, you don't have a lot of people on your side, and if you send people, it will affect normal operations. Su Tao hurriedly refused, he could feel that Uncle Hai was not saying it casually, but really wanted to help him, and he was still a little moved in his heart.

Uncle Hai sighed and said with a wry smile: "I received instructions from the eldest lady yesterday, and she repeatedly emphasized to me that you must protect your safety. ”

The eldest lady referred to Ni Jingqiu, and Su Tao smiled: "I will thank her for her concern, as for you really don't have to be distracted to protect me." Ye Sheng will arrange for someone to pick me up and send me to Nansi Tawang, and there will be absolutely no problems. ”

Uncle Hai was silent for a moment and nodded, "Okay, then I won't insist." Africa is a land of opportunities, but also dangers. I've read some of your stories and always save the day, and I'm sure there won't be a problem this time. ”

"Then I'll borrow your good words. Su Tao said with a smile.

"Also, there's one more thing I'd like to ask you to help with. Uncle Hai paused and smiled awkwardly with Su Tao.

"Please!" Su Tao said, "as long as I can help, I can't give up my name." ”

Uncle Hai sighed and said, "You have also seen the situation of the gold mine. The conditions are very harsh, not only full of stress of life, but also constantly affected by diseases. Almost every month, we find out that the miners are sick, you are a miracle doctor, and I would like to take the liberty of asking you to give us a little help. ”

Su Tao understood what Uncle Hai meant, and said with a smile: "If you don't take the initiative to tell me, I also have this idea, and I plan to send you a few prescriptions before leaving, which can enhance your physique, and you can easily cure ordinary diseases." ”

Uncle Hai's eyes lit up, "Then thank you." ”

"It's just a gesture. Su Tao thought about it, suddenly his face became solemn, and solemnly instructed, "Pay attention to the regular physical examination of the miners, general diseases can be cured with medicine, but once some terminal diseases are infected, with the current level of medicine, they cannot be cured." ”

Uncle Hai knew that Su Tao was referring to AIDS, the black people in the gold mine were more open, and if they were not careful, they would cause big problems, so he nodded seriously and said, "I will be careful." ”

Su Tao thought for a while and reminded: "I see that there are many women among the miners, so I still try to isolate the male miners from them. ”

Uncle Hai nodded and sighed, "Your suggestion is good, but it is difficult to implement." ”

"I know you're in a quandary, gold mining, it's about profits, you can make more by reducing costs, and black women pay less than black men. But everything has to be considered from the overall situation, and I will talk to Uncle Ni about it. Su Tao said with a smile.

"Well, then I thank you for all the employees who work in the mine. Uncle Hai said with a smile on his face and a relaxed tone.

"We'll have to leave later. Su Tao opened the medical box and took out a few pieces of paper, "The delegation will return to Tshwane later, and we can't be left alone for too long." ”

After that, he began to write several prescriptions, including the prevention of pneumoconiosis. In the process of gold mining, due to the crushing of ore, the dust concentration in the working environment is high, many workers do not know occupational protection, and pneumoconiosis has a long pathogenesis cycle, the initial stage is not obvious, and the later stage is very painful and cannot be cured medically, so prevention is very important.

At present, in the process of medical assistance, Qihuang Charity mainly provides free help to "pneumoconiosis patients". The number of pneumoconiosis patients in China is about 6 million, and this kind of people live very painful lives, and Su Tao has been trying to help these patients solve their pain and create suitable prescriptions.

Pneumoconiosis belongs to the category of "pulmonary impotence" in traditional Chinese medicine, and this disease has been recorded as early as the pre-Qin era. Compared with Western medicine, traditional Chinese medicine has more advantages in the treatment of pneumoconiosis, and has been established as a "promotion project of traditional Chinese medicine to the world".

Although this recipe for Uncle Hai is not the final version of making Chinese patent medicine for pneumoconiosis, it has a good effect and can play a good preventive role.

"Wait, I've got a gift for you. Uncle Hai walked outside the door and told his subordinates a few words.

Not long after, the subordinate returned, with a few more bags in his hand.

Uncle Hai handed the largest bag to Su Tao, and the other two smaller bags were given to Ji Xiangjun and the bodyguard respectively, and said with a smile: "Inside is a souvenir I gave you." ”

"Can you see what it is?" Su Tao said curiously.

"Absolutely. Uncle Hai smiled happily.

Su Tao opened it and saw that it was an irregularly shaped gold nugget, and said in surprise: "Dog's head gold?"

"That's right, there's nothing in the gold mine to get hold of, only this piece of dog's head gold. "Uncle Hai was in a good mood when he saw Su Tao's knowledge.

Gold ingots are valuable, dogheads are priceless, dog's head gold is naturally produced, and there is a certain weight, crystallized complete dog's head gold, which is several times or even dozens of times higher than gold ore.

The piece given to Su Tao is more than 500 grams, and it is worth more than 100,000 yuan based on the price of gold alone.

Of course, Su Tao knew that Uncle Hai must have been recognized by Ni Buwei for giving him this generous gift.

As for the gold nuggets that Ji Xiangjun and the bodyguard got, although it is not dog's head gold, but the raw gold ore with high gold content is worth 20,000 or 30,000 yuan of Huaxia coins.

On the way to join the delegation, the bodyguard Xiao Deng* started the car and said: "Team Leader Su, I can't accept the gift that Uncle Hai gave me just now, it's too valuable, I feel like I'll make a mistake." ”

Ji Xiangjun also felt a little precious, but women liked Jin Cancan's things very much, so she was a little reluctant to let her go back.

Su Tao smiled: "It's okay, take it all, it's not easy to come to the gold mine with me, just treat it as a hard work." ”

"That's a beautiful difference. Xiao Deng said with a smile, "If you need help in the future, Team Leader Su, you can command." ”

Ji Xiangjun secretly glanced at Su Tao, secretly thinking that his level of buying people's hearts was quite high, since he had said so, he didn't need to be polite.

The main Ji Xiangjun's current positioning is very accurate, he regards himself as Su Tao's servant, and the master gives himself a little benefit, so what if the servant accepts it?

In fact, it is just an excuse to comfort yourself with the current situation.

Su Tao actually observed Ji Xiangjun from the side, this woman looks very arrogant on the outside, but she seems to be quite realistic on the inside, how to say it?

If there is a benefit in front of her, she will definitely not hesitate to accept the person who accepts the benefit.

Ji Xiangjun, like most people, can understand the truth of the law of the jungle, and will succumb to the strong, but he is better disguised.

Many men say that when looking for a marriage partner, they must find someone to talk about, but in fact, the vast majority of women in society want a house and a car, otherwise they are willing to wait.

Su Tao doesn't have too much rejection of this kind of woman, but he secretly pays attention to it, and in the future, he still has to keep an eye on Ji Xiangjun, beware of it, and he has to observe, if he thinks it's inappropriate, don't keep her as his servant, and be careful of raising foxes.
