Chapter 429: A Birthday Present When You Leave
Charlize Theron took a long time to make sure that this gold brick was already her own, and now she really didn't know what to do.
I have never received such an exaggerated gift since I was a child—the equivalent of the entire income of a white worker in South Africa for seven or eight years!
I returned to the room in a daze, still holding the heavy gold bricks, and I didn't feel sore in my hands. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"What should I do?
After thinking about it for a long time and hiding it for a long time, I finally decided to put the gold bricks in my small suitcase and hide the box under the bed.
When everything was done, I sat on the bed and thought about it for a long time, feeling that I had to talk to the adults about it.
"Call Mom!"
There were telephones in all the rooms of the camp, and Charlize Theron made two phone calls to find her mother, "Mom, I went to a private game ground by Kruger Park with Uncle Dean to play... Eun, it's safe, and you're accompanied by adults.
By the way, Mom, I have something to do, Uncle Dean has a good friend from the United States, and today he found several tons of gold bricks in the hunting grounds..."
Little Charlie and her mother crackled and talked a lot, and finally said, "That Alan gave me a gold brick, which has 10 kilograms..."
Her mother's surprised and somewhat unbelieving words came from the other end of the phone: "He gave you a 10-kilogram gold brick as a dowry?"
Dowry, both Chinese and foreign.
"Well, he also said that if I could raise me as a daughter a few years younger, it would be a small gift for a little sister. ”
There was silence on the other end of the line for a while, "You go tell your Uncle Dean about this, and then ask him to call me when he is free." ”
"Okay, Mom. ”
The mother and daughter said a few more words, and Charlize Theron felt that she wanted to tell Uncle Dean as soon as possible.
......
Half an hour later, Zhang Nan here had just finished eating Chinese food and was about to go out hunting later, when Dean Kitt came.
"Dean, what's wrong?"
Seeing that the other party seemed to have something to say, but it was not easy to speak, Zhang Nan took the initiative to ask.
"Mr. Allen, you gave Charlie a gold brick?"
"yes, questions?"
"Not really, it's just that Charlie's mother spoke to me on the phone, which..."
Dean doesn't know what to say: Charlie's mother just asked Zhang Nan how he is, and Dean is not very familiar with it, so he can only say that he is a very good business partner, and he is very young, and he is a super-rich man from the United States.
By the way, Charlie is tired of this Mr. Allen these days, but it's all the kind of adults who play with children.
Dean is also an old Jianghu, and it can be seen that Zhang Nan really treats Charlie as a reasonable child, not that kind of pervert.
It's a strange feeling: a young man in his 20s has the calmness of a 50-year-old, and the level of coaxing children is first-class!
Usually a young man of this age has the heart to play with a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, unless he is a pervert!
Mr. Allen is clearly not.
Zhang Nan said with a smile: "Dean, little Charlie called me uncle two days ago, this is in our Huaxia, if you have the conditions, it is normal to prepare some dowry or something for your niece, this is our tradition."
I really like Charlie, and if she's a few years younger, I'll make sure she calls me godfather!
Oh, it's similar to your godfathers.
Of course, Huaxia has this tradition, if the life of an uncle or uncle is really good, it is normal to give some pocket money or gifts to nieces and nieces, and this red envelope will be very big when you get married.
If it was placed in ancient times, nieces and nieces got married, and it was even more popular for this local tyrant's relatives to give a "dowry".
It's the same if it's a nephew or something, when Xiao Jiannan married his daughter-in-law, Zhang Nan gave a super red envelope in advance.
Since it was Mr. Allen's hometown who brought me the custom, Dean didn't say anything: although Westerners don't pay much attention to this, it is common for them to give small gifts to children and young people in the family.
Compared to Mr. Allen's terrifying financial resources, a 10-kilogram gold brick is not surprising.
Seeing Dean away, Zhang Nan ran to the balcony and saw Charlize Theron next door sitting on the bed in a daze, so he said, "What are you in a daze." Let's go, go hunting!"
The little girl glanced at Zhang Nan and said, "I'm sorry, Allen, I told my mother about the gold bricks." ”
Zhang Nan smiled and said: "This kind of thing is to tell the adults in the family, but not everyone who gives you gifts will be like me, there are many bad people in this world." ”
As he spoke, he took out a note from his pocket, "This is my mailing address and phone number in the United States and Huaxia, you have hidden it, and if you have any questions, please feel free to consult." ”
Charlize Theron took it and carefully put it in her little wallet.
"It just feels too precious. ”
Zhang Nan touched the head of the little girl who was sitting, "It's just a small thing, if I want gold, I can buy a house of hundreds of tons at any time to play."
Well, don't think about it, go hunting. Things have been messy for the past two days, but you've had a good time shooting, and I haven't fired a single shot.
Last time I shot a few tigers in India, I was embarrassed to say that I had been to Africa. ”
Charlize Theron listened, "You're going lion hunting?"
"If you don't fight elephants, rhinos and lions, then don't fight. Old Hans said that the oryx meat here tasted very good, and it was super big, so go hunt for one. ”
As soon as she heard that the target was a oryx, little Charlie didn't think much about it, and said, "Then you have to drive more cars, I heard that some of the oryx weigh a ton, which is heavier than a wild buffalo!"
"Let's go, let's go!"
The antelope, the one that Chariz Theron hit yesterday was less than 50 kilograms, and the target of the Great Horned Impala living in Central and South Africa is the largest of all antelopes!
Because it is huge and the horns on its head are still a little swirling, it is also known as the African thorn oryx.
The shoulder height of this kind of oryx is generally more than 170 centimeters, the large one can reach one meter and eighty-two meters high at the shoulder, the length of the body is between 2.80 and 3.30 meters, the weight is generally 600 kilograms, and the largest can almost reach 1 ton, which is really taller and thicker than the African wild buffalo!
I'm embarrassed to attack the five major beasts in Africa, there are more of these antelopes in the hunting ground than the five major beasts, and Zhang Nan has also had the addiction of hunting big guys!
.......
For the next three days, hunting and driving to see all kinds of wild animals are not too leisurely.
Kruger and his cousin Martin Eisen also brought a large number of high-quality rough diamonds, and Zhang Nan ate them all, a total of more than 20 million US dollars!
This kind of transaction has numbed Charlize Theron, who has been watching the excitement, and this business is in the tens of millions of dollars.
And it can be seen that Allen is indifferent to this level of trading, and he doesn't mean to be excited at all.
Zhang Nan didn't have to pay at all for this trip -- Kruger would have to put at least $10 million into his Citibank account in a few days.
The news of the discovery of gold in the hunting ground has been released, and it will be lively outside, not only the bank, but also the people who call Kruger, many of whom want to collect it privately.
Kruger planned to go to the northwest when he had time to explore the rumored Boer War gold treasure spots, and even Dean, Martin and the gold mine owner friend were interested, and planned to organize a joint expedition and recruit Zhang Nan, a "treasure exploration expert".
Playful!
Zhang Nan did not participate in this, and said that he had kindly provided 100,000 US dollars for the sponsorship of the inspection, and the funds were automatically deducted by Kruger.
Those few jokes said that since they have paid for it, even if they don't participate, they can be counted as one: the funder can't pay for nothing.
Zhang Nan didn't take it seriously: countless amateur and professional treasure hunters have been looking for decades, and it is so easy to find.
I was just lucky before, and it was a coincidence.
......
On August 6, Zhang Nan and his group returned to Dean's farm near Petersburg, and his private jet had arrived at Petersburg Airport yesterday and would be on its way to Antwerp tomorrow.
I've seen enough of the African wilderness this time, and there are some other reasons, so I won't go to Botswana for the time being.
Little Charlie was a little reluctant to let Zhang Nan leave, but there was no way, and she herself was supposed to go to the 7th grade half a month ago, and she had to leave the manor and go home tomorrow.
After dinner that day, looking at little Charlie, who was not very interested, Zhang Nan said with a smile: "When you have summer vacation in November, you can come to the United States to play, I won't go to China until January, and I will take you to play for a few days." ”
"You're in charge of the ticket!"
"Okay, first class, I'll let Uncle Alyosha pick you up when the time comes, okay?"
"I'm doing it alone..."
At dawn early in the morning of August 7, Zhang Nan knocked on the door of little Charlie and was about to leave.
"We'll see you at the end of the year, and—" pulled a rectangular confetti bag out of his pocket, "Happy birthday! ”
Ignoring the little girl who didn't want to be moved, she turned around and left, her bodyguards were already waiting for her.
Today is Charlize Theron's birthday, and I didn't expect the first birthday gift I received to be from Uncle Allen, who was leaving—the little girl was embarrassed to tell him that it was her birthday, but I didn't expect him to know.
Watching the convoy in the courtyard downstairs leave the manor, Charlize Theron opened the box in his hand, and then it didn't sound for a long time.
At breakfast, the hostess of the manor saw that the little girl's neck seemed to be a little different today, and when she saw it clearly, she was surprised.
"Is this the 'Rising Star'?"
"Well, Uncle Allen gave me a birthday gift, it turned out that he made me a model that day on purpose, he always knew my birthday, it's amazing..."
Kelly learned from her husband that Mr. Allen spoiled little Charlie these days, and her good sister had also called to inquire, but she reassured Charlie's mother, and that Mr. Allen looked very measured.
More than 100,000 US dollars of gold bricks are like a small toy to give to a child, and today it is nearly a million diamonds, and that Alan has no other thoughts, which is really unpredictable.
On the plane here, Guan Xingquan said: "800,000 diamonds, you can really give them away, just that box of craftsmanship." ”
"The key is that the colored paper you buy is ugly, and the flowers are like that, vulgar!"
Zhang Nan was also polite.
"It feels like you've spoiled little Charlie too much. ”
"Hehe, you don't really like her, interesting little girl. ”
After speaking, Zhang Nan put down the backrest, closed his eyes and stopped talking.
