Chapter 0811 South Africa (II)

Flying from Beijing to South Africa, one has to pass through the entire Indian Ocean, and since Zhuang Rui’s private airplane is not yet a top-notch private airplane, it landed at the Maldives airport to refuel when passing through the Maldives.

When the plane through the clouds, Zhuang Rui looked out of the window, into the eyes of a blue, boundless sea in the sunlight, glittering with a charming luster.

In the turquoise blue sea water, scattered with a green island, green periphery, and is surrounded by a circle of snow-white sandy beaches, beaches outside and a circle of light blue, light blue and then outside, that seems to be like a jewel like deep blue.

Such a beautiful scenery, so that several people on the plane are open to stay, the two stewardesses also do not care about the boss on the plane, are crowded in the window to look up, mouth also issued exclamation from time to time.

“It’s still a good climate here.”

Taking advantage of the gap between refueling, Zhuang Rui opened the hatch to go down for a breath of air, humid sea breeze blowing on the body, very comfortable, and compared to the cold winds of Beijing, here is the average temperature of the four seasons are more than 28 °, pleasant climate.

With the improvement of domestic living standards in recent years, many young people get married like to travel to the Maldives, Zhuang Rui that will take wedding photos, had considered the Maldives, but that time he was busier, before choosing Hainan.

“Oh, Mr. Zhuang, Maldives is a paradise for traveling! It’s also our first time here.”

“Yeah! What a blue sky! What a beautiful sea.”

Several people in the cabin walked off the plane, Tenya and Liuli two stewardesses, their faces were even more intoxicated look, chattering and discussing, obviously, the charm of the Maldives, is all young girls can not resist.

Zhuang Rui could not help but laugh at the words, do flight attendants estimated to see the most, but also the most fed up, I’m afraid, is the blue sky, how did not listen to them say the blue sky ah? This is purely psychological.

“Let’s do it this way! In the future, the crew will add a benefit, you can take your family members out on a trip once a year, you guys make your own arrangements, if you want to sit on this plane, then you guys have to discuss it, if you want to live in a two-person world, then the cost will be reimbursed by me.”

Zhuang Rui treatment of employees is still generous, not to mention, is the treatment of the stereoscopic museum, that in Beijing City is one of the best, in no way worse than the staff of the Palace Museum.

Some time ago, Wu Zhao also looked for Zhuang Rui, revealing that after graduating with his doctorate, he wanted to work in Zhuang Rui’s museum, Zhuang Rui agreed at that time, he is not short of money right now, what is missing is the collection and professional talents.

“Really?”

“Wow, long live the boss!”

“Mr. Zhuang, thank you then!”

After hearing Zhuang Rui’s words, the two stewardesses were instantly happy and almost jumped up, even the steady He Shuang and Ding Hao, also had happy faces, although with their income, traveling abroad was no problem at all, but who wouldn’t like it for free?

“Alright, quickly fill up the gas, ready to go.”

Zhuang Rui touched his nose, as if the ones who were shouted hooray didn’t end up very well, right?

After the airplane left the beautiful and pleasant Maldives, after another seven or eight hours of flight, it finally landed at Johannesburg Airport in South Africa.

Johannesburg’s temperature is much higher than Beijing, about 20 ° or so, sitting in the car, into the eyes of almost all black people, Zhuang Rui realized that he came to Africa.

As the Dutch from the sixteenth century when the start of the colonial war on South Africa, until the nineteenth century, the British took over South Africa, this resource-rich country, has always been in a colonial state.

So although more than eighty percent of the population of South Africa are black, and now is also the blacks in power, but the lifeblood of the country, always controlled in the hands of the white man, such as gold mines, diamond mines, and those rare energy mines owners, basically are white people, and black people can only be cheap labor, to work for those capitalists.

Take now Zhuang Rui is in Johannesburg, so far the concept of racial discrimination is still very serious, like 25 kilometers southwest of the city of Soweto, is the most concentrated black segregated area of South Africa, once shocked the world tragedy.

Before coming, Zhuang Rui also supplemented the relevant knowledge about South Africa, he knew that Johannesburg is the largest city and economic center of South Africa, but also the world’s largest gold production center, known as the “City of Gold” name.

One day in 1886, a white man named George Harrison in the present north of Johannesburg, a farm walk, was exposed to the ground tripped over a stone, which is a gold nugget, which triggered the world’s gold miners flocked to, set off a wave of gold rush.

However, this Harrison buddy is a risk-taker, although obtained can enjoy tax-free treatment of the “gold mine discoverer ownership certificate” but Harrison himself poor bird egg light, there is no development of gold mines need funds, and ultimately at a very low price, will be the ownership of the sale to others, can be counted as one of the most unlucky gold mine owners in history.

After more than a hundred years, Johannesburg has become the world’s largest gold-producing cities, gold mines have driven the development of Johannesburg, making it the most prosperous city in South Africa’s economy, different shapes of tall buildings lined up, all the way to the modern highway network covering the entire city.

One of the world’s top ten financial markets, the Johannesburg Stock Exchange is located in the downtown area of the busy section, trading is exceptionally active, the environment of elegant modern shopping centers can be found everywhere.

When Zhuang Rui came here, it was already nightfall, the whole city is brightly lit, the neon lights on the buildings are colorful, adding to the atmosphere of a modern metropolis.

And South Africa’s other specialty diamond trading, also logically arranged in Johannesburg, every year to come here, in addition to gold traders, the most is the world’s diamond traders.

Zhuang Rui was waiting for He Shuang to complete the parking formalities, and they left the airport together, at the exit of the airport, a black man holding a sign with “Zhuang Rui” written in Chinese characters, waiting there.

“Dude, you know Chinese?”

Zhuang Rui saw the sign on the two words written strong, actually have a flavor of calligraphy, can not help but and the person who picked up a joke, South Africa used to be a British colony, the language for Zhuang Rui is not a problem.

But the black man’s reply, let Zhuang Rui some tears and laughter, because he said he held up this “painting” is he to the hotel to give him a fax paper, drawing a whole three hours to draw.

“Come on, get in the car!”

Zhuang Rui waved his hand to the several people behind him, this is a business car, just enough to accommodate his people, the Hong Kong side is very considerate.

“Brother Zhuang, I’ve heard that gold coins and diamonds are cheap here, after we finish our errands during the day tomorrow, let’s go out for a spin at night?” Before coming here, Peng Fei had promised his daughter-in-law that he would bring a big diamond back to her.

“Good! We’ll go too.”

Women always have no resistance to shiny things, after hearing Peng Fei’s words, the two pretty flight attendants also shouted happily, even He Shuang and Ding Hao who were sitting at the back were also a little bit moved, the diamonds in South Africa, that’s world-famous.

“Forget it! To buy something wait for me to finish my work and go together during the day, remember, you must not be allowed to go out at night.”

Originally still laughing and joking with a few people Zhuang Rui, his face suddenly became serious, what a joke, in Johannesburg at night to go out shopping, that is purely looking for death.

You know, although Johannesburg is a capital of wealth, but at the same time is the world’s highest crime rate of the capital of terror, once someone statistics, in this city, on average, every few minutes, there will be a robbery or rape.

Because the unemployment rate in South Africa is as high as 40%, the vast majority of the unemployed army is the lack of skills, poorly educated black people. The deterioration of law and order has led to frequent robberies and a climate of racial conflict.

This has forced the middle and upper classes, or large capitalized companies representing South Africa, to migrate to the northern suburbs, and urban functions have continued to move to the outskirts.

In addition, foreign capital afraid of risk also followed the migration outward, resulting in the city’s restaurants, clubs, nightclubs, etc. closed one after another, so that the daytime lively and noisy golden capital, at night will become an abandoned city, seems unusually cold and quiet.

Although the car window is flashing lights, but Zhuang Rui and others can see, the roadside very few people are walking, only three to five groups of black people in the street whistling at the oncoming car.

Originally Qin’s jewelry in Johannesburg, there is an office, although only one person, but at least it is a stronghold, but the unlucky director of the office, in the evening out to pick up girls, was stabbed, after recuperating from his injuries no longer dared to stay here, would rather work not to return to Hong Kong.

Now Qin’s jewelry in Johannesburg has no staff, Zhuang Rui live in the hotel, are Hong Kong to facilitate contact, but this is in the communication developed today, is not a problem.

After hearing Zhuang Rui’s explanation, a car is staggered, the two stewardesses are even more scared of the flowers, eyes and then turned to the lights outside the car, the eyes have brought a deep fear.

In fact, this trip to South Africa, Zhuang Rui originally did not intend to let the two girls to, but they feel that they do not work only to get money some embarrassment, which must follow.

The atmosphere in the car became a bit depressing, after about half an hour or so, the car stopped in front of a hotel near Saunton Square.

“Oops, there’s a thief!”

No one noticed that in the shadows of the flower garden full of tropical plants opposite the hotel’s front door, there was a small figure hiding.

When Tenaya, who was walking at the end, got out of the car, the figure darted towards Tenaya.
