Chapter 795: "Tours"
In order to welcome the arrival of their families, Han Bo and Li Xiaolei made a lot of preparations. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In fact, it is not only the family that comes, but now many companies are popular to hold annual meetings, or organize employees to travel abroad, Mr. Han thinks that this is a rare opportunity, and invites all the old partners such as Mr. Sha and Accountant Lu, who started a business together. Not only has her mother-in-law (Li Taipeng's mother) never been abroad, she has never even taken a plane, but she also came this time, bringing her eldest grandson Xiao Ruirui.
The relationship between Lao Lu and Lao Han's family is extraordinary, and he is naturally indispensable to visit relatives in South Africa. Coupled with the first "cadre friend" made by Mr. Han, Lao Yuan, the former political commissar of the Sigang County Public Security Bureau, who has been retired for two years, as well as the wives of the old guys and the children they brought, a total of more than 30 people from all ages came, which can be called a tour group.
There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, not to mention that they also have more precious children, safety is more important than anything else!
Han Bo returned to Pretoria overnight, asked the embassy leaders for a week off, slept for a morning, and after lunch at the embassy, he and his wife rushed to Johannesburg Airport again to meet the driver and security guards arranged by Director Li of the Joburg Police and Civilian Cooperation Center.
The driver came in a luxury bus, and the security guard had a security police car.
Four security guards, wearing dark berets, sunglasses, and miniature submachine guns or shotguns, vigilantly observed the surroundings, escorting Mr. Han, Mr. Li, Lao Lu and others who had just entered the country to the parking lot.
"Uncle Sha, you're here for a tour, why are you bringing so many things!"
"I'm also here to visit relatives, how can I be empty-handed. ”
"Xiaobo is out of breath, and I still remember the first time I drove a van to the East China Sea, and it would seem to be the head of the police station. ”
"Accountant Lu, the head of the police station is not small at our grassroots level, and how many comrades are still ordinary policemen when they retire. The scene when Han Bo was transferred from the Silk Weaving Factory to the Public Security Bureau was vivid, and Lao Yuan was full of emotion, holding Han Bo's hand and turning back to explain.
He was somewhat embarrassed to be useless.
Lao Lu regarded himself as half a parent, and he didn't have any embarrassment at all, so he habitually raised his camera to take a few photos, turned around and smiled: "Mr. Sha, Accountant Lu, our Sigang can't compare with you Donghai, and your street director level is higher than our county magistrate." ”
"I've been retired for so many years, and I still don't leave the level in three sentences!" Sister Wang complained to him, and quickly stepped forward to tease Xiao Xiaolei with Li Xiaolei.
The little guy has been with his mother for a relatively long time, and he videos every day, hugging his mother's neck and not letting go. But he was not close to his father at all, and Han Bo couldn't hug him if he wanted to, so he could only smile stupidly and continue to greet these elders.
Han is always a well-deserved team leader, counting the number of people with Mr. Li, confirming that none of the children in each family have been lost, confirming that all the luggage is stuffed into the suitcase under the bus, and happily greeting: "Everyone, get on the bus, dozens of positions, sit casually!"
"Sister Lu is motion sick, and Sister Lu sits in front. ”
……
couldn't hold his son, Han Bo simply took his nephew, picked up Xiao Rui Rui into the car, let the little guy sit inside, took his little hand and asked, "Rui Rui, why don't Mom and Dad come?"
"They don't have time. "Xiao Susu is a stranger to her father, and Rui Rui, who has been in elementary school, is as strange as her uncle, and she can't let go of it.
"Taipeng and Xiaofang took on a big project, the shopping mall, staring at the construction site every day, and they really couldn't get out. Before coming, Mr. Han explained very clearly that he must be optimistic about the children of each family, Li Taipeng's mother sat behind her grandson and explained not without restraint.
I knew that my sister and brother-in-law couldn't come, so I just asked casually.
Han Bo turned his head and smiled, got up and gave her the position, secretly thinking that this family education was too exaggerated, and his nephew was obviously from Sigang but couldn't speak Sigang, and the same was true for Xiao Su, fortunately he could understand some.
The black driver got up and looked back, Han Bo nodded slightly, the driver understood, closed the door and honked the horn twice, alerted the security guard, and slowly drove the car out of the parking lot.
The lesbians and children sat in the front, and the gay men sat in the back with a tacit understanding.
Han Bo greeted the children one by one, distributed the snacks prepared for the little ones, and sat down next to his father and father-in-law with a box of pure water.
"Is it necessary to engage in such a big battle?" Lao Lu sat in the last row, got up and looked at the security car behind him, with a puzzled expression.
"It is necessary. ”
"South Africa is rampant with guns, with 40 million people owning at least 000,000 illegal guns, which is more than the entire guns owned by the South African army and police," Han Bo explained, handing out purified water. The high number of guns has resulted in a high crime rate, with an average of 50 deaths a day, more than 20,000 murders, more than 100,000 robberies, and no less than 300,000 burglaries each year. ”
Lao Lu and Mr. Han and others are not policemen, and they feel that this is just a set of numbers, and they don't know what it means.
Lao Yuan, who has served as the political commissar of the Sigang County Public Security Bureau for nearly ten years, knows very well what this set of figures means, and asks in surprise: "The crime rate is so high?"
"7 times that of the United States and 35 times that of Japan!"
Han Bo pointed out the window and confirmed with a wry smile: "And Johannesburg, where we are now, is called 'Sin City', and the crime rate is three times the average of the whole of South Africa. There are so many of us, and the goal is so big, we can't afford not to ask for security. ”
"They have guns, are they reliable?" The people were brought out by themselves, and they must be brought back safely, Mr. Han got up and looked at the back, and asked worriedly.
"It's very reliable. The older white security guard had worked as bodyguards in Iraq, three blacks, two of Zulu, and a Congolese veteran, who had provided security services for domestic business delegations and news media more than once. ”
"As long as it's reliable, I'm afraid of eating inside and out. ”
Lao Lu didn't think that he was so unlucky that he would meet the robbers, and said with a big grin: "Everyone, there are security guards, security guards with guns, there is nothing to worry about." Of course, we also pay attention to ourselves, all actions are under the command of Han Bo and Xiaolei, don't go where we shouldn't go, and don't run around while watching the children. ”
Safety education is very necessary!
Han Bo nodded his head and continued: "In South Africa, we must pay attention to all aspects, not a joke. Chinese institutions in South Africa attach great importance to security, and according to our recommendations, the security situation in each region of South Africa is divided into different levels, and according to the level of security in the locality, the corresponding number of armed security guards are assigned to employees who go out.
For example, in East London, where security is average, there is one security guard for employees working outside the home, and two security guards for employees working outside the home in Johannesburg, where law and order is less so. When Chinese employees travel in groups, the company sends a convoy, usually accompanied by local employees, and the presence of security guards should not be taken lightly. ”
"Why, isn't there a gun?" asked Old Lou curiously.
"South Africa's law is very strict, if the other party is just robbing with a knife, you can't fight back with a gun, and even if a gangster is robbing with a gun, if the robbery is over, you can't shoot the gangster in the back. It can be said that the gun is only a deterrent tool. If you really use the gun, you can fight anything.
Maybe the bandits were acquitted, and the security guards became criminals. Therefore, when security guards encounter danger, most of them will fire a warning gun into the sky to call nearby security guards or police support, and will not have a shootout with the robbers unless absolutely necessary. ”
"Gangsters rob at gunpoint and can't shoot for defense, what kind of law is this?"
"So many people buy black guns for self-defense, first, black guns are cheap, secondly, there is no number, no evidence, if one day someone is attacked, accidentally kills someone, just throw the gun away, there will be no evidence left. ”
Lao Yuan felt incredible, and asked again: "Where did the black gun come from, don't the police care?"
Han Bo sighed lightly and said helplessly: "Political Commissar Yuan, you don't dare to imagine when you say it, the police are the source of the black gun." Due to management loopholes, many South African police officers do not hand over black guns to the police station after they find them, but secretly hide them themselves and find opportunities to resell them to underground gun shops.
In addition to the police, gangs scattered throughout Joburg regularly import firearms from neighboring countries. Those who do not have a gun license, or who have had their gun license revoked because they have a criminal record, can buy guns from gangs. Because there are too many civilian guns, it is very unsafe for people who do not have guns, so everyone wants to own a gun, so there are so many channels to buy it. ”
I communicated many times on the phone and on video before I came, I didn't go to a place where the security was bad, I didn't leave a single group action, and I hired a security guard here, so there should be no problem in terms of safety.
finally came out once, Mr. Han didn't want to spoil the big guys, so he immediately changed the topic: "Xiaobo, what is the next arrangement, shall we go to Pretoria or Johannesburg first?"
"Walk around Johannesburg first, there are several must-see attractions in Joburg, such as Mandela Square, the Golden City where you can walk in the mine at 220 meters, the Lion Park, the Apartheid Museum, Chinatown...... It's all arranged, now go to the Hilton Hotel to rest, and start playing early tomorrow morning. ”
It is safe to live in a big hotel, and Han Bo is not distressed at all when he spends the old man's money.
Lao Lu slept all the way, in good spirits, and asked again and again: "Isn't it okay today, it will be too early." ”
"It's more than 4 o'clock, it's not early, South Africans live at a slow pace, the working time is half past eight in the morning, the bank is nine o'clock, the shops are open at ten o'clock, but the end of work is at three o'clock in the afternoon, and now you have finished work, and when you get to the city you will find that the streets are empty, there are no people. ”
"What do they do every day when they leave work so early?"
"South African office workers have a lot of free time to organise themselves, but most of them stay at home because of safety concerns after work. Unlike in the country, there is so much nightlife, and almost no one goes out to shop at night. ”
Li Xiaolei stumbled over with her son in her arms, and added to Mr. Li's side: "Shops will also close at 4 or 5 o'clock, and the latest will not exceed 9 o'clock, especially the shops in the city center, which will generally close before 6 o'clock." The city center is the worst in terms of security, so most shops are afraid to open a night shop, and if they do it too late, they may become the target of bandits. ”
