Chapter 609: To the Gold Mine
Live up to expectations, no, it should be said that it is shocking, what I saw from the unmanned and the aircraft before was only the prey dragged behind two of the pickup trucks, but in fact, all the vehicles of the poaching gang were loaded with various animal carcasses of various sizes or teeth, fur, etc., in the trunk, the seat space in the car was ...... There is hardly any more room to spare. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"How long have these people been here?" Doyle muttered to himself.
Looking at one of the pickup trucks, there are oil drums, fresh water and animal fur on it, and I know that these people's poaching activities are definitely not a matter of three or two days, oil drums and fresh water are logistics, and the animal fur is too long, and the corpse will rot under the high temperature for a long time, so the important parts are removed to preserve, and the rest are discarded, which can also play a role in reducing space.
According to the temperature of today's weather, it will start to stink after more than 48 hours, and it can almost be judged by cleaning up the prey they hit, Xiao Yang approached the back compartment of a pickup truck, and the smell of blood mixed with the faint smell of rotting that made him cover his nose immediately.
After a casual glance, he retreated, motioned to his entourage to clean up, and then said to a few people: "Don't get too close, it doesn't smell good, there are at least two elephant tusks, two leopard skins and a carcass in this car, look like this, they have been out for at least half a month." ”
The previous operation, in the end, needed someone to support to get things done, so Cyril was a little afraid to face Xiao Yang, seeing that he asked people to clean up a few cars of the poaching gang, he immediately took the initiative to take over, "I'm coming, I'm coming, we're familiar with this." ”
Xiao Yang understood his thoughts, and did not refuse, and took the initiative to take a few steps back with the others.
Cyril and his three subordinates, plus the guides provided by the hunting ground and two security personnel, there were a lot of things in several cars, but they were quickly cleaned up, and the whole process, Xiao Yang and the others all saw it, as the animal carcasses and decomposed furs and other things were all laid out on the ground, the shock in their eyes became stronger and stronger, until finally, they were all speechless.
Rhinoceros, elephants, leopards, African deer...... All of them are precious animals, and if you count the price in the market, this pile of things can be worth at least millions of dollars.
A million dollars is nothing in the eyes of Xiao Yang and the others, but in Africa, it is definitely a huge wealth, no wonder these people are not afraid of death.
Man dies for money, and birds die for food. It's really honest and don't deceive me.
Looking at the pile of animal carcasses and fur, and then at the poachers who were tied up and thrown aside, I don't know why, a group of people suddenly became bored.
"Don't look at it, let's go back." Doyle suddenly spoke.
"Well, go back, we have what we need anyway." Li Zhiwei touched his son's head, but he didn't think about not letting him see this.
Xiao Yang looked at Aled and Abdullah, and saw that they also nodded, so he didn't mention the leopard anymore, and nodded, "Okay, then let's go back." ”
The mood was a little dull, but the pile of things was certainly not going to waste, so people were asked to reload the things, and soon the convoy began to return.
Back in the safe zone, a group of women who were boating in the nearby lake today all returned, and when they saw that they had several more cars coming out than when they went out, they were very puzzled, and thought they had met some acquaintances. Xiao Yang explained to them briefly, but he didn't expect Zhao Nan to hear that he had "picked up" a lot of animal skins, and said that he would choose a few to make a scarf or something.
Xiao Yang was a little speechless about his wife's character who was not even afraid of murder scenes, looked at Xie Xiao and seemed to be a little unbearable, and hurriedly said that some corpses had begun to stink, and let her choose after someone had dealt with it, which dispelled her thoughts.
The poachers are very good at handling the skins of these animals, but the staff of the hunting ground are not left behind, they directly hand over the things to them, and then pick out some treatments for them to deal with the fur, and they nodded vigorously, saying that they will get the formal customs documents together with the time come.
If you want to talk about documents or something, they really don't care much, Ciro has Cyril here, will the airport customs still check them? But this is always a good intention, and of course Xiao Yang will not refuse.
In the afternoon, everyone did not go out, but made a barbecue banquet in the safe area, these days they have hunted a lot of prey, meat is not lacking, because of the region, they can not often come into contact, all kinds of animal meat to try, each has some interest.
Cyril left after noon and did not return until the evening, saying that he had handed over the poachers to the local police station, and that the police would investigate the origin of the men in detail, but did not mention the poached prey.
Xiao Yang did not doubt that the police would investigate, Cyril is now a school officer, and he is also the number one person in the northwest region, not to mention that he will definitely contact the above, under the pressure of the capital and local officials, even if the police department has any ideas, there will be a result in the end, but he did not express any opinion, because he felt that this matter had nothing to do with him.
Poaching gangs, it is too common in Africa, the Congo side may be a little better, if in Kenya, you may see protected animals for sale in any market, which shows the proliferation of poachers, this time if it weren't for Doyle's sudden interest, he would definitely not have seen it, and naturally he wouldn't talk more at this time.
No longer hunting, but it does not mean that they will leave the Congo immediately, there are many lakes around the hunting grounds, there are many unique fish species in the lakes, after resting for a long time, the next day Xiao Yang and his party went fishing.
Fishing is different from hunting, it is an activity suitable for all ages, so this time it is not only men, but a group of women are also walking, blue sky, turquoise grass, fresh air, no sandstorms, no haze, no noise of the city, a few days of fishing, not many fish caught, but everyone is still in high spirits, and finally until the itinerary of a week is full, this is the sound of leaving.
"I'm in Congo, and I'd like to go to the gold mines." On the first day of leaving, all the furs and ivory that had been processed were loaded into the car, but Zhao Nan said to Xiao Yang.
The gold mine is in the south-central part of the country, more than a thousand kilometers away from here, this mine started, Xiao Yang has not been here, but everyone came together, it is a little bad for him to leave alone, and after thinking about it, "It is a little inappropriate for us to leave alone......
"That's not a problem." Zhao Nan smiled at him, "I shouldn't have seen the production of gold, why don't you just invite them to take a look?" Maybe they'll be interested. ”
This is a solution, Xiao Yang thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll ask, if it doesn't work, I'll accompany you again in a few days." ”
For Aled and them, this trip is to socialize, and the play is just incidental, anyway, it comes out, it doesn't matter if it takes a day or two more, not to mention that Zhao Nan is right, they have seen a lot of gold, but how gold came out of the deposit, they really haven't seen it, Xiao Yang mentioned it, and it quickly got everyone's approval.
"In that case, let's go to the gold mine tomorrow."
The next morning, the convoy departed from the hunting grounds, arrived at Ciro a few hours later, and then, without further delay, said goodbye to Cyril, and took off for their next stop.
The city where the gold mine is located is called Jika, which was not famous before the discovery of the gold mine, and belongs to a small city in the Congo, with less than 200,000 people, but with the discovery and development of the gold mine, Jika is like a new spring, from the original twilight to the current vitality.
I had a phone call with Makara on the plane, and the plane landed at the airport, not only did no one check their belongings at the airport, but there was no one to check their documents, and they also took the initiative to provide Xiao Yang with a few cars.
The gold mine is dozens of kilometers away from the city, of course, the car is indispensable, looking at the new Toyota off-road vehicle, Xiao Yang knows that the people at the airport are really bothering, in the Congo, this kind of car in China has a price of nearly one million, it is really difficult to find, maybe because of the changes brought by the gold mine, if it turns out, it is estimated that there is no such "luxury car" in the whole city.
Politely rejecting their idea of arranging security personnel, the group drove the two Humvees in the transport plane, and then drove the two vehicles they provided, plus a few cars from the gold mine to pick them up, forming a huge convoy to set off for the gold mine.
The shares of this gold mine are more complicated, in addition to the country, there are also a few Yankees, but a few Yankees do not participate in the daily operation, it is completely an existence used to have a good relationship with Xiao Yang, Xiao Yang knows that although a few people are not well-known in the United States, they secretly control a lot of power, and they also attach great importance to this place, otherwise, they will not make a big deal about the last time an employee embezzled a small matter.
Less than 50 kilometers of the road was built by the mining company, taking into account the heavy construction vehicles, the construction was a strict control of the quality, to get the whole Congo, should also be in the forefront, out of the city on this road, the speed of the convoy became faster, less than an hour, they entered the mining area.
Xiao Yang asked Zhao Nan to contact this side yesterday, of course, the security work is a level higher than usual, from the moment you enter the mine area, you can see the security personnel with loaded guns everywhere.
The office of the mining company is located not far from the mining area, considering that the mining life of this mine is decades, so the office area is not shabby, living areas, entertainment circles, etc., completely like the style of a large enterprise.
The group will stay here for one night, so the first problem is to settle down first, but Xiao Yang obviously underestimated everyone's interest in gold, and before the staff could arrange a room for everyone to rest, Doyle and the others proposed to go to the mine to have a look.
"Let's go and see how the gold comes out of the stone."
