Chapter 259 is non-refundable
Early the next morning, Chen Mo went to Jinghua, this is the third time he has come here to take a flight to Africa, the first two were supposed to board, but because of something that happened suddenly, Chen Mo had to return to Cloud City to deal with it, along the way, Chen Mo was secretly praying, this time there must be no more accidents, fortunately, there was no danger along the way, and finally boarded the flight to Africa.
Before registering, Chen Mo also made a phone call to Lu Yuan, telling him that he was about to board the plane, Lu Yuan couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said Brother Chen, are you sure you want to come? Chen Mo knew that Lu Yuan was teasing him, after all, Lu Yuan had been waiting for him in Africa for so long.
Chen Mo said speechlessly: "Don't worry, brother, even if the sky falls this time, I won't go back." β
After the two sides hung up the phone, Chen Mo turned off the phone, because the mobile phone signal would interfere with radio waves.
In fact, there was no flight to Africa from Jinghua City, and it was not until noon the next day that Chen Mo came to a city called Kigali in Africa.
Kigali is the capital of Rwanda and a developed city in Africa, similar to Shanghai in Asia.
In fact, Rwanda is a very poor country, and the country has not even solved the problem of food and clothing for its people, and the airport in a capital city is actually inferior to the railway station of a third-tier city in China.
Out of the airport, I saw Lu Yuan squatting on the side of the road waiting, he had flip-flops on his feet, beach pants, and the pattern printed on the red T-shirt, which was actually a popular popular garden in the eighties and nineties in China, not only that, but even some black brothers on the road, whether they were wearing or using, you can see a lot of Chinese elements.
"Why are you dressed like this?
Chen Mo was a little puzzled that Lu Yuan was not short of money, why did he fall to such a point.
Although the city of Kigali is very poor, there are still rich people, in fact, no matter which country or which city, there will be a polarization phenomenon, there are poor and rich people, take the city of Kigali as an example, a considerable number of pedestrians on the street are wearing washed white clothes, because they can't eat enough and are thin, but you can also see some of the world's luxury cars shuttling by, the African rich people in the car, the skin is black and shiny, with a mouthful of big white teeth, a large gold ring on the hand, and a brand-name watch starting from hundreds of thousands on the wristγ
Correspondingly, there are cheap open-air restaurants on the streets, where big-headed flies buzz around, and the people who go in to eat are some black brothers who sell their manual labor, and naturally there are places comparable to five-star hotels in the United States, and those who enter to eat are those rich people covered in gold ornaments.
Hearing the question in Chen Mo's words, Lu Yuan explained with a smile: "Brother Chen, there is no way for me to dress like this, the day after I first came, the police went to the hotel to check the room, saying that I entered the country illegally, and I obviously had a visa, so I showed them the visa, but they said that the visa was fake, arrested me at the police station, and asked me to reapply for a new one." β
"If the visa is real or fake, according to the rules, it should be sent back to ......China first," Chen Mo said with a smile, and at the same time guessed the intention of the police in his heart.
"Who's to say it isn't? Actually, I could see that they just wanted some money, and I paid 10,000 dollars, and they released me. Lu Yuan said speechlessly.
"The hotel check-in system here is not connected to the police station, it seems that these police are in good communication with the hotel, just to make some money, which hotel do you live in?"
"Serena is said to be the most famous hotel in Kigali. β
Chen Mo shook his head: "You don't know, in the eyes of outsiders, this Serena Hotel is famous, but this hotel is not safe, the waiters in the hotel are generally related to the local underworld, they should cooperate with the outside and defraud customers' money." β
"I'll go, isn't it Brother Chen, there is also an underworld here?" Lu Yuan said in surprise.
"Of course there is, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there are rivers and lakes where there are disputes, here is not as bad as the country, the security is very poor, let's change the hotel!" Saying that, Chen Mo took out his mobile phone and searched: "There is a Hilton from Serena, let's go there, Hilton belongs to the global chain, there should be no problem." β
"It's fine, but I paid a $5,000 deposit in Serena and we have to get it back before we leave. β
"Okay. β
While talking, the two stopped a taxi, and what was surprising was that although the taxi driver was a black brother, the car was actually a domestic Jetta. However, this car is a few years old, even the seats are not original, and the chassis of the car is several wooden planks tied together with wire, and the gap in the middle is very large, and you can even see the road surface under the car.
This is Lu Yuan's first time in Africa, and he has never sat in this kind of car, the black driver drove the car very fast, the kind that was completely fatal, Lu Yuan nervously grabbed the doorknob, but because he was too nervous, the doorknob was directly pulled down by him.
The black driver turned his head to look at Lu Yuan, and he didn't know what to say, Lu Yuan didn't understand it at all, but looking at the black driver's expression at that time, he should be very dissatisfied with him.
Chen Mo finished talking to the black driver in the same language, and then told Lu Yuan that the driver spoke Rwanda, the official language of Rwanda, which meant that Lu Yuan had broken his doorknob and needed to pay 10,000 Rwandan francs.
"So much?"
Chen Mo waved his hand: "10,000 Rwandan francs, converted into RMB, is only 80 yuan." β
Lu Yuan didn't speak, in fact, Lu Yuan, Crow and Ah Yuan have the same personalities, although the three of them are very rich, but before they followed Chen Mo, their money, everyone got it in exchange for their lives, the three of them have always been extravagant in terms of consumption, but they also have their own principles, and they don't allow others to pit them.
Soon, the taxi stopped at the door of the Serena Hotel, and the two went directly to the front desk after entering, although Lu Yuan does not know the official language here, but can speak simple English, and then struggled to communicate with the hotel front desk, saying that after checking out, the hotel front desk actually said that it is not allowed to check out, but the deposit will not be refunded.
Lu Yuan was very puzzled, and asked why he didn't return the deposit, when he first came before, because he didn't know how long he would stay, so Lu Yuan paid a deposit of five thousand dollars, and the room he lived in belonged to a luxury suite, and the room fee was three hundred dollars a day, and he stayed for a total of twelve days, and the room fee added up to only three thousand six hundred dollars, and one thousand three hundred dollars, even if it was converted into RMB, there were about six or seven thousand yuan.
The front desk of the hotel explained that their rules here are like this, and then pointed to the prompt on the wall, saying that it is clearly written there, once the deposit is paid, there will be no withdrawal, but even if Lu Yuan leaves the room, the room will remain empty for him until the deposit is consumed.
Lu Yuan still wanted to argue with the other party, but Chen Mo pulled him and said, "Forget it, don't need the rest of the deposit, you go get your luggage, and we'll go to another hotel." β
"Why not? We don't live here, how can they not return the money? No, I can't suffer this dumb loss, I have to call and complain about them. The two spoke in Chinese, so the staff at the Serena Hotel and a few black security guards didn't know what they were talking about.
Chen Mo couldn't smile bitterly: "The police here are all complicit with them, what's the use of you calling to complain? And there are not so many law enforcement departments in China, how can there be anything like the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, the Consumer Protection Association and the like, the police here have many functions, fire fighting, household registration, foreign affairs, and transportation." β
"That ......"
"That's what, okay, you go get your luggage, let's go to Hilton." β
"Oh well. β
Lu Yuan had no choice but to obey Chen Mo's meaning, and quickly took the suitcase and came down after going upstairs.
The two of them left the hotel under the eyes of the front desk and the security guard, standing at the door waiting for the taxi, the scorching sun, a Jincheng motorcycle and Phoenix bicycle produced in China galloped by, there is no shadow of a taxi, here is not more than the domestic, technology is very backward, not to mention what online car-hailing, in fact, there is no taxi company here, those taxi drivers are a single whole, and the nature of driving a black car in China is similar, but it is not illegal here, and there is no threshold to become a taxi driver here, as long as there is a trolley, scrapped can also be done, as long as it can run, as for the driver's professionalism there is no requirementAs long as you have a driver's license, unlike in China, whether it is a regular taxi or an online car-hailing, you need more than three years of driving experience.
Holding the pergola and looking up, Lu Yuan was depressed for a while, and said to Chen Mo as if complaining: "Brother Chen, it's really too hot here, how far is the Hilton Hotel from here, I haven't seen a taxi come over for half a day, let's walk over!"
"It takes half an hour to walk, and it's so hot, so let's wait!"
"Hey, I knew I would have waited for that taxi for a while. β
Hearing this, Chen Mo looked at him with a smile: "What's the matter, follow me here, do you regret it?" β
Lu Yuan shook his head: "Brother, you know why I embarked on this road, I haven't suffered any hardships, this is nothing in my eyes, but I can't stand this weather, it's a headache." β
After speaking, Lu Yuan wiped the sweat from his face.
"Hehe, it's still good here, we're just staying here temporarily, after a few days we go to the jungle, so mosquitoes are rampant, the environment is many times worse than here, can you still stand it?"
"You have to stand up, Brother Chen, you underestimate me too much. β
"That's good......"
While the two were chatting and waiting for the bus, a conversation was also taking place in a room at the Serena Hotel.
