At ten o'clock at noon, when Li Xiucheng got up, Lu Pingnan had already come to the hotel and was waiting.
Arriving at the restaurant first, the waiter served the special South African iron triangle stew, and then the two of them talked while eating.
"Hmm~ This iron pot stew is a bit like the chaotic stew in China!" After praising it, Li Xiucheng looked at the waiter who was retreating far away, and then said: "What is the Hetu here now? Condition?"
"It's not bad, because we know that this is our key investment area, so we still put in a lot of effort. In addition, we also intend to use this place as an experimental field.
So in name, the forces only operate near the mining area, but in fact there are people in the city who are responsible for establishing forces. We also have dedicated personnel to handle and arrange some gang forces.
The gangs here may not be as organized as those in Xiangjiang, but they are much wilder in the development of force!
Gunmen are dispatched at every turn, and several gun battles break out in a day. It's just a trivial matter. The police here are not very willing to take care of it, and of course they can't take care of it.
So as long as these guys don't openly cause trouble in the city, that's fine.
As we walked outside the city, many mines were left behind due to the evacuation of the Eagle Mining Area. There were scattered minerals in them that the Eagle Countrymen disdained, but they were the bread and butter of the local poor gangs, so there were still a lot of mines there. Want chaos!
Just bury a dead person or something deep in the mine on the spot, and you can't even check it! "
"Tsk, that's really messy!" Li Xiucheng shook his head. He didn't expect this guy to be so dark. He didn't ask about this in the early morning because he didn't want Hu Yingmei to know this.
"It's chaos. We have developed a lot of informants here. We often get some information about who killed and robbed someone. Occasionally, we also use some information to give favors to the officials, which is pretty good."
"Well, let's get it done. You should control your situation carefully. The relationship with the official must continue."
"clear!"
Ha~ah
At this time, Hu Yingmei came in from the door yawning. Li Xiu saw that her eyes were still narrowed, so he couldn't help but smile, took a small glass, poured her some liquor, and then handed it to an empty seat on the table.
"Drinking so early in the morning? Mr. Li, when did you become so addicted?"
Hu Yingmei looked at Li Xiucheng in surprise. She remembered that Li Xiucheng didn't drink much except at wine parties.
"I have not become an alcoholic, sit down!" Li Xiucheng raised his hand and asked her to sit down, and then said: "Drinking too much alcohol is useless, but drinking less after jet lag can activate blood circulation and relieve fatigue, which is still very good of!"
Of course, jet lag does not exist for him. His physical function is very good now, and he is as good as a young man in his twenties. Every time he has a physical examination, the doctor always exclaims that he is taking good care of himself.
But the key point is that he is also in his thirties, but he really has never thought about maintenance. He is just in great shape in this life!
Nice!
After finishing breakfast slowly, Hu Yingmei said: "Although it's a bit greasy to eat this early in the morning, it tastes okay! By the way, we only have things to do at night, so how are we going to spend our time during the day? We can't waste time in this shabby hotel, right?" "
This was her first trip to the Eastern Gray Country, and she was quite curious about this exotic customs.
Li Xiucheng understood what she was thinking, slapped his thigh and stood up and said: "That's not possible, you have to work and play well!
Let's go out for a swim!
In fact, this place is not as poor as you think, because gems are produced here. What we saw last night was only the bad side, and there is also a bright side that we can let Pingnan take a look at on our behalf! "
"Really?" Hu Yingmei was a little surprised after hearing this. Can such a place have a good side? Where?
"Yes, Sister Mei!"
Lu Pingnan confirmed with a smile: "Because the gem business has given birth to some rich people, we are now in the old government district, which is considered a legacy building from the past. In fact, a wealthy district has risen in the north of the city, and the Donghui government also intends to move. , but considering the need to rebuild the urban area, it has not yet been decided.”
When Hu Yingmei heard this, her eyes were bright. Women have no resistance to gems.
"That's even better. Let's go shopping. After flying so far, we have to bring some trophies with us!"
"Then let's go!"
The group of people went out and visited this exotic city that was full of a mixture of poverty and wealth. Finally, they bought some not too expensive but distinctive gemstones such as prehnite and octahedral diamonds as souvenirs.
They also ate outside at noon, but while they were eating, Li Xiucheng saw a subordinate from the dark suddenly come over and whisper a few words in Lu Pingnan's ear. Then Lu Pingnan's brows frowned and quickly returned to normal.
Li Xiucheng said: "What's wrong? Do you have something to do? Then just go and do your business and don't worry about us."
"No! Someone is following us and watching us!"
When Lu Pingnan said this, he turned slightly sideways to face Li Xiucheng, and the expression on his face did not change, just like when he spoke normally.
Li Xiucheng's heart froze, but he remained calm on the surface and said with a smile: "Oh, there is such a thing? Who is it? Someone from the Donghui Kingdom government is protecting us, right?"
"No, they don't have such rules, and there is no need for it."
"Who else could it be? A gang? Seeing that we are spending a lot of money and we are foreigners, they want to make a fortune?"
After thinking about it, Li Xiucheng only thought of this possibility.
"That's possible, but I've already asked people to go back and investigate. For safety reasons, let's go back to the hotel. That's the government's designated reception hotel. It's safer to be guarded by soldiers."
"Yes, we have almost finished our shopping. Let's go back now. It's best to be careful in this foreign country." Hu Yingmei said hurriedly. She didn't want anything bad to happen to everyone because of her suggestion.
Li Xiucheng nodded: "That's okay!"
Everyone packed up and returned to the hotel, and then took a lunch break to prepare for the dinner. Li Xiucheng didn't think much about it. With Hetu's development here in the past few years, there is no problem at all in dealing with unofficial forces. .
But what happened was unexpected. Not long after the evening banquet started, Li Xiucheng was having a cordial exchange with President Mendes in Eagle Language when Lu Pingnan came over, winked at him and left.
"Excuse me, Mr. President!"
"please!"
Li Xiucheng walked to the bathroom, and Lu Pingnan was already waiting at the door. The two entered in tacit agreement. Lu Pingnan said: "There is no one here, so you can talk safely.
With the results of the investigation over there, you will definitely not guess who is following us! "
oh?
Li Xiucheng could not help but raise his eyebrows when he heard the playfulness in Lu Pingnan's tone. This would be interesting!
At noon, he guessed that the gang members might be interested in making money, but he didn't know what kind of gangs there were here.
