Chapter 0813 – Diamond Deal (I)
“Peng Fei, forget about it, don’t get generalized with this kind of person.”
Zhuang Rui pulled Peng Fei back, he knew that this kid’s mind was a bit unstable, he might really dare to take the black waiter’s life.
Although Johannesburg is very chaotic, but is always one of the most important cities in South Africa, blatantly killed, I’m afraid that can not be good, if this is replaced by another African country, kill a person is not a matter of fact, a gold bar can be settled.
However, Zhuang Rui is here to participate in the diamond trade fair, not to measure the fairness of African laws, which is why he pulled Peng Fei.
“Lao He, contact Qin’s Jewelry in Hong Kong and file a complaint with the headquarters of this hotel.”
Zhuang Rui turned his head and said to He Shuang, this hotel is also a world-famous chain of five-star hotels, so if the complaint goes to their headquarters, they will at least give a statement.
“Okay, Mr. Zhuang.”
He Shuang and the others have seen what is called the city of sin, this has not even stayed, there are accidents one after another, look at the black waiter’s indignant gaze when he left, a look of refusing to stop.
After the explanation, Zhuang Rui did not go to the service desk to check in, but pulled Peng Fei, sat down on the sofa in the hotel lobby.
Zhuang Rui was waiting for the manager of this hotel to step in, otherwise, if he offended the blacks in South Africa, he didn’t know how much trouble he would have in the future!
“Excuse me, may I ask if you are guests from Hong Kong?”
Qin’s Jewelry was very efficient, after about twenty minutes, a white man in his forties. hurriedly came in front of Zhuang Rui.
Zhuang Rui raised his eyes to look at this middle-aged man, frowned, and said, “Yes, it’s also my complaint against your hotel, your employees, have extorted us, I need an explanation.”
“I am the administrative director of this hotel, John, this matter is our fault, I will give a few of you a satisfactory answer.”
As the administrator of this hotel, John naturally knew the temperament of those black employees, he was also a bit helpless, this international chain hotel, there are thousands of them all over the world, how come he was so unlucky! Being thrown to Africa this bird does not lay eggs place to work?
“I have big doubts about whether your hotel can guarantee the safety of your guests, and I’m considering whether to change to another hotel.”
Zhuang Rui wasn’t threatening John, he really did feel that this place was very unsafe, encountering a robbery at the door with no one asking questions not to mention, and then entering the door with no extortion, this was simply unheard of.
Even though before he came Zhuang Rui had already understood that Johannesburg’s law and order was not good, but he did not expect that it would be as bad as this?
“This sir, the hotel room floor, is not allowed those damn nigger’s to enter, security please rest assured, there will definitely not be any problems.”
John explained to Zhuang Rui in a low voice, it turned out that not only this hotel of theirs, all the hotels in Johannesburg, had this kind of problem existed.
If the blacks are not allowed to enter the hotel to work, this hotel will be in constant trouble, so the managers have no choice but to give the blacks the job of driving or janitorial work, as for the interior of the hotel, it is strictly forbidden for these people to enter.
However, these blacks are also good and bad, the hotel side will also arrange different jobs according to their performance, like the driver who just picked up Zhuang Rui and the others, it’s very good, if it’s for that doorman to pick up the plane, it’s estimated that the kid can pull a few people inside the den of thieves.
“Alright! But the three rooms originally booked need to be altered, return one of them and change the remaining two into suites.”
Zhuang Rui thought about it for a while, he guessed that other hotels in Johannesburg were no better, but after all these things happened, he didn’t dare to let the two girls, Liuli and Tanya, live alone, so he simply changed it into a suite, and let He Shuang and Ding Hao live in it as well.
“Alright, sir, I’ll take care of it for you.”
John knew that he was in the wrong, so he personally helped Zhuang Rui with the formalities and sent the few people into the elevator.
“Lao He, you guys pay attention to some safety, you don’t need to go out these days, when I’m done with my business, I’ll turn around and take you guys shopping.”
The two suites were not far apart, before Zhuang Rui entered the room, Zhuang Rui instructed a few people again, in this kind of place, it’s better to be careful.
“I know, Mr. Zhuang, don’t worry!”
He Shuang promised, he also saw what happened just now, now is to let them go out to stroll, I’m afraid a few people do not have the guts.
“Brother Zhuang, it’s a call from Hong Kong.”
Just entering his room, the satellite phone in Peng Fei’s hand that looked like a brick block rang, every time Zhuang Rui went out, he would bring 2 with him, one for the crew, while the other one was held by Peng Fei.
Like this place in Africa, there are a lot of areas where cell phones can’t be used, Zhuang Rui brought the satellite phone just to facilitate contact with his family.
“Xiao Rui, are things settled?”
Qin Haoran’s voice came from the phone, slightly apologetic.
“Dad, it’s fine, I’ll go to the trading market tomorrow, and try to return to Beijing after the bidding opens on Friday.” If it wasn’t for his old husband personally running to Beijing to beg, Zhuang Rui really didn’t want to stay here even for a day.
“Well, the company also has some relations in Johannesburg, I helped you to contact, tomorrow there will be a diamond supplier to pick you up, your itinerary in these few days, are handed over to them to arrange on the line, the security aspect is also by them to be responsible for.”
Just out of that kind of thing, but the Qin Haoran scared lightly, their son-in-law if the accident in South Africa, not only his wife and daughter can not forgive themselves, I’m afraid that is the Qin’s jewelry business in the Mainland will do not go on.
To be honest, Qin Haoran a little regret to let Zhuang Rui come, two hundred million euros, although quite a lot, but Zhuang Rui’s life, that is more than just worth two hundred million euros!
After Qin Haoran broke out in a cold sweat, he hurriedly contacted an extremely powerful diamond company in South Africa, and at Qin’s Jewelry’s expense, hired two of their company’s vehicles and a few security personnel.
“Dad, I’ll be careful, don’t worry.”
Zhuang Rui heard the worry in his old husband’s words and hung up the phone after comforting him with a few words.
Early the next morning, Zhuang Rui received a call from the security personnel sent over by that diamond company, they were already waiting at the entrance of the hotel, and from today onwards, all of Zhuang Rui’s trips after leaving the hotel would be under their charge.
“Hello Mr. Zhuang, my name is George, I will be in charge of all the security before you leave Johannesburg.”
After Zhuang Rui brought Peng Fei out of the hotel, there was a thirty-five or thirty-six year old white man who immediately greeted him, although the man was wearing a suit, but Zhuang Rui could feel the explosive force from the bulging muscles in his chest, this dude was definitely not selling literature for a meal.
Peng Fei’s eyes are looking to the side of the man’s waist, slightly convex outward, his eyes can not help but narrowed a little, with Peng Fei’s experience, a glance can judge that it is a pistol, and from the gun is the size, can be seen to put the great power of the Desert Eagle.
After George introduced himself, the three people following him, immediately stood in a triangle around Zhuang Rui and Peng Fei, it was obvious that these people, were all well-trained professional bodyguards.
“Trouble Mr. George.”
Zhuang Rui shook hands with George and got into one of the cars behind him, George and one of the bodyguards followed, while the other two bodyguards, got into the first car.
To say that Qin Haoran really paid attention to the safety of this son-in-law, the one who drove in the front was a VOLVO (Volvo) bulletproof sedan, and the one that Zhuang Rui and the others rode in the back, was a Hummer.
After getting on the car, George gave Zhuang Rui and Peng Fei introduced a number of two cars are bulletproof modified, as long as it is not used a bazooka type of weapons, general assault rifles will not be able to break the defense of the two cars.
On the way to the Diamond Exchange, Zhuang Rui and George chatted about the situation in South Africa, which allowed Zhuang Rui to have a better understanding of the place he was in.
Due to the out-of-control gun control in South Africa, which makes many criminal gangs operate with more firepower than the police, it only costs 100 dollars to buy an assault rifle here, and it comes with two 30-round magazines, and for the cost of hiring an assassin, 500 dollars would be enough.
Here is really like the movie played like, after the end of the gun battle, only to hear the sound of the police car, if the police car to say to arrive early, a quasi will stop to the side of the road to smoke a cigarette and wait for a while.
Because the diamond and gold exchange involves a huge amount of money, so is the main target of South Africa’s criminal gangs, come to Johannesburg, many foreigners, especially Asians, to participate in the diamond trade, need to be especially careful.
In 2002, there has been a malicious incident here, there are five Japanese businessmen successfully shot a batch of diamonds worth 60 million U.S. dollars, from the diamond exchange left ten minutes later, was a group of robbers will stop the car.
The five Japanese businessmen in the car were all killed by random gunfire, as for the diamonds, they disappeared, until now the case has not been solved.
After this incident, the jewelers from Asia suddenly plummeted, while the bodyguard business is popular in South Africa, like George a few people, are the United States Special Forces discharged, voluntarily came to South Africa to do bodyguards.
Although George did not say their specific price, but Zhuang Rui can guess, his old man must have paid a considerable price, before several people invited.
After the car left the city, it drove towards the southeast direction of about the city, there were very few cars on the South African highway, the driver drove the car very fast, after about half an hour or so, the car stopped in the yard of a building complex.
As soon as Zhuang Rui stepped out of the car door, he felt several unsuspecting gazes all around, staring at his body.
