1179:Border Crossing (2)
Checkpoints have always been charged per head and by weight of goods, with a clearance fee of less than $1 per person.
No one cared about the money, and after passing the checkpoint, it was the Anu Special District, and he said that he would find a car to drive down the dirt road to meet them after work.
As a result, their carload of foreign faces made several inspectors in this borderland where birds don't look as strange as aliens.
Look at it......
These inspectors, who have been guarding the border all year round and can only make a little money from passing drivers all day long, feel that the opportunity has come......
They didn't dare to make too much of a cruel idea, that is, when they stopped the chins for routine inspection, they demanded a security deposit of $300 per person on the grounds that these people might be carrying prohibited items.
The driver of the minibus is a native and is well aware of the urine of these border inspectors.
"What's contraband?"
"The people in my car are all tourists from Hongka Canyon. As he spoke, the driver quietly stuffed a hundred dollar bills to the inspector who took the lead inside.
This dollar bill was asked for by him from these Chinese tourists in advance, because when he crossed the border, he could buy a piece of luggage without inspection for a hundred dollars.
"What are you doing here?" The inspector, who was wearing a camouflage uniform and carrying an AK on his shoulder, suddenly became upright, and he reprimanded loudly: "We are a border checkpoint, and we have an obligation to ensure the security of the border order." β
"These people in the car, are they really going to travel to Anu Special Zone?"
"These foreign tourists like to buy cheap and illegal diamonds from private mines and bring them back home. β
"Did they buy illegal diamond entrainments from the State of Tagana, and don't they need to be checked?"
"Less than three kilometres beyond the border is the largest diamond mine in the Anu district. The amount of diamonds produced there in a month can account for 20 percent of Nigaya's total diamond production. β
"Didn't these foreigners, taking this route, clearly want to continue to go to the vicinity of that diamond mine and buy illegal diamonds?"
The border inspector, whose complexion was as black as ink ingots and whose limbs were thick, spat all over the sky, and his words changed, "Now I look at the face of you as a native and give you a convenience." $300 security deposit for one person, I can not check if they are carrying contraband. β
After the tour guide translated this passage to the cartoonists, the cartoonists were furious.
Do they buy illegal diamond entrainment?
$300 margin per person?
They took out this money, but why should they take it?
Come on, let's not say that we illegally carry diamonds, then check.
Illegal entrainment of diamonds does exist, Africa is a major diamond producer, and many economically disadvantaged countries are counting on the export of diamonds to generate income.
At the national level, everyone is working so hard to generate income, and of course the people below cannot be left behind.
Selling privately mined diamonds to foreign tourists is a hallmark of African diamond-producing countries.
A one-carat diamond ring set in a white gold ring with a diamond 4C certificate can cost from 70,000 or 80,000 yuan to hundreds of thousands in jewelry stores.
But if you find the right way in Africa, you can buy a good quality polished diamond for $2,000.
The only difference between it and a diamond in a jewelry store is that it lacks the legal certificate issued by the International Diamond Association. Therefore, some tourists from all over the world will come to Africa to buy diamonds.
These cartoonists are not very interested in diamonds, let alone understand the market inside.
Now that he has been wronged, of course, he has to prove his innocence.
β¦β¦
They are so naΓ―ve.
After handing over your backpack and luggage to these border inspectors.
"I ...... Where's my Apple laptop?" A pretty girl with a ponytail stared blankly at her empty computer backpack.
"What about my ~ Nikon SLR, my Carl Zeiss wide-angle lens, and my telephoto lens?"
"My laptop is gone. β
"My tablet is gone, and my other spare Phantom phone is gone. β
"The more than $1,000 I had in my backpack was gone. β
"My ......"
Fifteen young cartoonists stood in front of a pile of luggage arched by bison, you looked at me, I looked at you, as if they saw "aliens".
Three border inspectors stood by with a satisfied expression, and one of them handed the guide a thick stack of passports, waved his hand, and said that the inspection was over, and you can go.
"I'll go you're paralyzed. "The boss of the Manyo Animation Studio, who is responsible for leading the team, is so angry that his hair stands on end.
They are cartoonists, and their computers are filled with manuscripts that they have worked hard to draw day and night.
Why did these dogs steal it?
He scolded loudly in English, these border inspectors may not understand English, but how can they not understand the classic words such as "fat oil" and "dog vomit", which have long been popularized by European and American blockbusters?
Besides, the gestures that are commonly used in the world, and the expressions that devour people like the angry lion opposite, are already silent and sound.
The leading border inspector didn't say a word, picked up the AK behind his back, and faced the sky with a shuttle.
His marksmanship is good.
It happened that a very large goshawk flew straight past from a height of about two hundred meters above their heads.
Out of the heart of showing off and killing chickens and monkeys.
The border inspector who took the lead didn't even think about it, so he put his crosshairs on the goshawk.
"Dada~"
Orange-yellow shells jumped out of the receiver happily, and after the thunderous gunshots, the goshawk fell headlong to the ground.
The exaggerated reactions of those young Chinese men and women made him extremely useful.
Seeing the gang squatting on the ground and shivering, several border inspectors laughed wildly.
Where do you think this is?
Resort?
This is Africa!
These foreigners living in China really think that the tourist place of the Red Card Grand Canyon represents the entire national conditions of Tagana?
Qin Feizhuo, the boss of Manyo Animation Studio, squatted on the ground, his forehead was full of cold sweat, and his eyelashes flickered.
The shot just now gave him the best hint of what they should do next.
After calming down for a few seconds, he stood up and took the thick stack of passports from the guide's hand, and said to everyone, "Pack your luggage first, and then talk about it when you get to the Anu Special Zone." β
Without saying a word, the remaining cartoonists stood up and began to silently pack their belongings on the ground.
Seeing that the foreigners were about to leave, the three border inspectors walked to the next target with a satisfied face.
There were also two pickup trucks blocked at the back of the minibus, but as soon as they looked at the license plate, they knew that there was no oil and water to fish, and they were all old grasshoppers who often ran this line, and at most they could get a few packs of cigarettes.
That's right~
The few shots of the demonstration just now also left a fat goshawk, and I will pick it up later, not to mention that there are more than ten catties of meat that can be sacrificed.
Haha, good harvest today!
