"Oh yeah, Horn of Africa, here we come." Huang Qiong cheered as the plane landed smoothly.
Although there are lights on both sides of the runway. However, under the round moon, you can see that this place is desolate enough.
Although it is not a desert, there are withered pastures and sparse trees as far as the eye can see. There are also wild animals roaming in the distance.
The plane stopped and the ramp was lowered. The group got off the plane.
It was found that there was only one three-story building here, so it should be the dispatching tower.
There is also a Boeing 737 cargo plane parked on the tarmac next to it. Three mine-resistant and anti-ambush off-road vehicles are already waiting here. This is the car of Hong Kong Island's security team that came here in advance. One was used to pull the team of nineteen people. One is the leading car and the other is the rear car.
In addition, there was a convoy of three vehicles parked not far away.
An old French man in his fifties, with a few people, and the captain of the Hong Kong Island Security Company greeted them here.
Huang Ying walked over first, accompanying the liar, and shook hands with several people.
"It's Li Zhe, right? I have a very good personal relationship with you, Mr. Chen." Huang Ying said to the security captain.
"It's me, hello Miss Huang. Mr. Chen specially asked us to serve you and your friends well. Everything has been arranged here, so you can rest assured."
Li Zhe turned around and introduced: "This is Mr. Adrian, the butler of the owner of the manor."
"Hello, Mr. Adrian." Huang Ying took the initiative to extend her hand.
Follow French etiquette. Generally, when shaking hands, a woman reaches out to a man first, an elder reaches out to a young man first, and a superior reaches out to a subordinate first.
Huang Ying is both a woman and a guest, so it is appropriate for her to reach out first.
"Hello, beautiful lady, on behalf of Mr. Francis, I welcome you and your friends."
Huang Ying introduced: "This is Mr. Du Pianpian, the legal representative of the company that purchased the manor this time. He is also the person in charge of this delegation."
Trickster stepped forward to shake Adrian's hand.
After the group exchanged pleasantries, they agreed to stay at the manor's villa first and then settle in.
At noon, Mr. Francis, the owner of the manor, will arrange a luncheon to welcome friends from the East who come from afar.
After the luncheon, we will take a short break and the two sides will start negotiations in the afternoon.
A convoy of vehicles left the simple airport and drove onto the dirt road. The road conditions here were very bad and the car was very bumpy. The convoy passed through woods and grass. Fortunately, it didn't take long to reach the seaside.
Everyone was surprised to find that this fifty square kilometers of land was actually long. They are all good lands with dense vegetation along the coast. A few kilometers inland is desolate grassland.
Soon the destination was reached. There is a small port in front of you, and there is a huge black building next to it, which should be the dock.
Next to the shipyard, there is a small town with forty or fifty buildings. Looking at these 19th-century European-style buildings, I feel like I'm in a Pirates of the Caribbean movie.
There is a castle built on a small hill on the south side of the town.
Li Zhe accompanied Sun Xing, Liar, Huang Ying, Lin Miao and others in a car.
Li Zhe introduced: "This castle is quite old. It was built in 1850. The owner of the manor lives here. We also stay here. The scenery here is beautiful, and you can see the sea and beach when you open the window in the morning. "
The liar looked at the surrounding situation and said: "Mr. Li, I feel that this place is irregular. If we want to buy some more plots and make the land more regular, can it be achieved?"
Li Zhe said: "In such a war-torn country, land is very worthless. If you want to buy everything around, it's too late for their government to be happy. Everyone wants their broken land. Their government is eager to sell it. Money is used to buy arms. We have carefully studied this manor. The reason why the land is irregular is that only the coastal areas here have dense vegetation, and the land inside is semi-desert grassland. The French do not know how to Want it."
Only then did everyone understand that the irregularity was due to the fact that the French only picked good plots to take, and they cut off the best plot of land on the seaside. What an evil profiteer.
"Mr. Li, how is the safety here? After we buy this place, is the safety guaranteed?"
"We are only responsible for your security during this negotiation. If you buy this land, I suggest you organize a security team of your own. After all, although this is federal land, this is the border, and here are guns If there is flooding, we still need to pay attention to public security.”
Li Zhe thought for a while and then said: "You don't have to worry too much. There is a desert here away from the coastline. The nearest tribe is a camel breeder. It is more than a hundred kilometers away from here. There are no people, and generally there will be nothing." Things. Naturally, there won’t be too much trouble.”
"The law here allows you to freely hold weapons. Even if you are flying fighter jets here, no one will care about you. As long as you bribe local officials, they will turn a blind eye."
"Many estate owners in Western countries here have private mercenaries. They have armored vehicles, helicopters and so on. You can recruit some veterans from home, and you can easily buy weapons here. If you need it, I can help you contact some arms dealers.”
The liar was shocked that he could still play like this.
But then I thought about it, yes, this is the poorest and most chaotic place in Africa.
Developed countries have various privileges here, which is understandable.
It is normal for international security companies to have connections with arms dealers. Their business often requires the procurement of weapons in the mission area. After all, many countries and regions prohibit them from entering with weapons. They can only source locally.
The convoy passed through the seaside town and went up the mountain road. The roads in the town are asphalt roads in good condition, and the winding mountain roads are also high-quality asphalt roads. Soon we arrived at the gate of the castle.
Lin Miao put down the car window and stretched out his head to look longingly.
In the moonlight, this castle looks so majestic. Huge stone base. The Gothic building has moss-covered walls and looks very old.
After entering the gate, the yard inside is very large. It is a platform three hundred meters long and seventy or eighty meters wide.
The castle is built on a platform, with the entrance gate, tower and some high-rise buildings to the north. To the west and south are three-story Gothic buildings. On the east side is a stone railing, where you can overlook the sea.
The platform is surrounded by cliffs of thirty to forty meters. There is only access from the north via a two-lane asphalt road.
The motorcade stopped in the square. Everyone got out of the car, Sun Xing and others turned around and looked east.
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the waves on the Indian Ocean are sparkling. Holding on to the railing, below is a cliff more than thirty meters high. Below, the waves are crashing onto the shore, rolling up thousands of piles of snow. The view is spectacular.
Entering the castle, I felt very safe.
The terrain here is so dangerous. As long as you keep the path up the mountain. The black squirrels can't attack with the three-piece equipment of AK47, flip-flops, and swimming trunks.
The scammer purchased supplies for Yang Fan in the past two years, which can be considered as traveling all over the country. One look at the castle and you can tell that this estate won't be cheap. Among Westerners, those who play castles are mostly nobles. I guess there has been some negotiation.
From the communication on WeChat, the scammer felt that Fanzi actually wanted to buy a land with a port. It doesn’t matter if the conditions are bad. Don't seem to want to spend too much money.
The main reason why I chose this place is that it is a forgotten corner of the world.
No one pays attention. It's very convenient to do something by yourself here.
However, the situation here is better than expected. The town is clean and tidy, with complete infrastructure and a medium-sized enclosed dock and ship repair yard.
Plus a 19th century castle. Fifty square kilometers of fertile land.
The land of the manor is the only sacred land in the desert here.
There is also a small airport that can handle private jets. It’s no problem to go on a yacht or something in a small pier.
Under these conditions, the price is so cheap.
