Li Wenjun: "No, no, no, we don't produce clothing in your country, but we ship the finished products for deep processing and then sell them. Your resources must be used by us at the best price. We will also hire people from your country as employees. Win-win.”
Tao Guangming secretly tugged at his hair: Damn it, we are building a factory again. Even if I break it into eight pieces, it won’t be enough. I will never go back in this life.
After signing the contract and setting a timetable, Kajia arranged for them to stay in the best local hotel, and told the hotel that they were VIP guests. The hotel must treat guests well and respond to requests.
Although it is still a bungalow, it finally has hot water.
After all, there is no shortage of water here.
When registering at the front desk, the front desk lady asked Li Wenjun and the others: "Do you guys want to take a shower?"
Tao Guangming nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, yes."
The front desk asked again: "Shower or bath."
Tao Guangming said: "Shower or bath can't clean it."
Li Wenjun said: "Send a bucket of hot water to the room for me."
Yang Shouzhuo: "Yeah, me too."
Li Wenjun said to Tao Guangming: "How about you just put it in a bucket and wash it down."
Tao Guangming: "No. It's hard to get to a place where I can shower. If I don't wash myself off, I don't know when there will be a shower again."
The front desk hesitated to speak and said, "Okay, before you take a shower, please tell our front desk."
Tao Guangming pursed his lips: This place is really poor. You're stingy, I always turn off the hot water valve. I called her to open it and she opened it.
When Tao Guangming entered the room, the first thing he did was to call the front desk and ask for a shower.
Then he took off his clothes and entered the bathroom.
Although the water is big and small, cold and hot, it is still much better than wiping with a towel.
After taking a shower, he felt comfortable all over and went out to have dinner with Li Wenjun and others in the hotel's catering department.
The food was so strange, there were no chopsticks, just a few sets of old knives, forks and soup spoons, and the plates had missing edges.
Tao Guangming also knew that this place had just been devastated by war. Given the conditions, it was good to be able to get food for them, so he didn't complain.
While forking a plate full of rolling potatoes, he said to Li Wenjun and the others: "I'm telling you. When I was taking a shower just now, I always felt weird. It seemed like someone was staring at me."
Yang Shouzhuo rolled his eyes: "Don't be narcissistic. With a figure like yours, you don't even want to give it to others. Who would take a peek?"
Tao Guangming pursed his lips: Although it is hurtful, it is the truth.
Li Wenjun kept laughing but said nothing.
Tao Guangming narrowed his eyes: "If you have something to say, just say it. Nothing good ever comes of it when you smile like that."
Li Wenjun said: "Hot water showers seem simple, but in fact they require a tap water supply system, a heating system and a pressurization system. Think about when the guest houses in Cha County will have hot water showers? Is it possible to have such conditions here? ?”
In the late 1980s, the guest houses in the mining area only had cold water sprinklers. If you want a hot bath in the hotel, you can only use a kettle to get water or go to the public bathroom in the mining area.
Tao Guangming was stunned: "Then where did the shower I took just now come from?"
Li Wenjun couldn't help but laughed again and said, "Guess."
As soon as he finished speaking, two black waiters came out from the back kitchen carrying a bucket of hot water, cursing.
There is a large gourd floating on the water in the barrel.
"Why are there so many people taking showers today?"
"Damn it. It's so annoying to have to climb so high to water. Can't they just take a bath? Why do you think these people love to be clean so much? Why do they take a bath every day?"
Tao Guangming pointed at those people with wide eyes.
Li Wenjun picked up the spoon: "You turn on the faucet, and they will..." Then he scooped water from the cup and poured it on the plate. Repeatedly.
Yang Shouzhuo started laughing and slapping the table.
Tao Guangming stared at Li Wenjun with squinted eyes: "Where are you coaxing ghosts? They will just tell you if you don't have a shower."
Li Wenjun sighed and said: "The president asked them to respond to their requests. When I checked in today, as soon as you finished speaking, I saw someone behind me looking for a ladder. I advised you, but you didn't listen..."
Tao Guangming's face suddenly turned red and he gritted his teeth: "Damn it, why do I always feel like someone is looking at me? The water is still big, small, cold and hot."
He glared at Yang Shouzhuo: "Do you also know? Otherwise, why don't you take a shower?"
Yang Shouzhuo laughed and said, "I don't know. I saw something wrong with the expression on this bastard's face. So I decided to choose the same one as him."
Tao Guangming took two more bites and muttered: "It doesn't matter, it was the two men who helped me water the water anyway."
Li Wenjun couldn't help but laugh again.
Yang Shouzhuo finally stopped laughing and asked Li Wenjun: "Where are we going next?"
Li Wenjun sighed: "Now we have to find a way to return to South Africa."
Tao Guangming sneered: "Why don't you just go back?"
Li Wenjun said: "Guess where the plane we took when we came came from."
Tao Guangming replied: "It must be Kajia's."
Yang Shouzhuo said: "Spin your smart little head, if it's Kajia's plane, why do we still need to take the truck?"
Tao Guangming was confused: "Where did that come from?"
Li Wenjun said: "I borrowed it from Zimbabwe."
Zimbabwe is rich in mineral resources and has a suitable climate.
When white people ruled before, they laid a certain industrial and agricultural foundation and adopted relatively moderate policies, which did not cause a large number of white people to withdraw.
Therefore, after independence, this country's mining, manufacturing, and agriculture have developed quite well.
Among the surrounding countries, it is relatively wealthy.
Only they can afford small planes.
So Li Wenjun could guess it without asking.
Tao Guangming hesitated and asked, "Can't we ask the president to borrow money from Zimbabwe again and send us back?"
Yang Shouzhuo rolled his eyes: "You are stupid, others will not help you in vain. The average fuel cost is one gallon per kilometer, and the fuel cost is US$1 per kilometer. Botswana has traveled more than 2,500 kilometers to drive. It will take another few hundred kilometers to Cape Town. You do the math.”
Tao Guangming: "Huh? By the way, ask Old Tang to fly a helicopter from Greece to pick us up."
Yang Shouzhuo: "Crazy, it's more than 4,000 kilometers to get here from Greece. We have to refuel at least eight times. It takes 20 hours to fly."
Tao Guangming: "What should we do?"
Li Wenjun said: "Don't panic. When I took the plane, I showed my new mobile phone to the pilots in Zimbabwe. I wanted to see if this bait was useful. I originally took it with me to make a sample."
Tao Guangming: "There is no signal for a mobile phone... why do they need a mobile phone?"
In the evening, Kaga called someone to inform them that if they were to be sent back to South Africa tomorrow, they would still take a flight from Zimbabwe.
Li Wenjun and Yang Shouzhuo exchanged glances: Are they really taking the bait, or are there other conditions?
Come to think of it, someone from such a poor place must have a good background to be a pilot.
