976.No Intention to Enjoy (10/10)
The difference between the two sides is not only the difficulty of obtaining food and the attitude towards food?
When Lidu returned from the Hazai tribe, the lion hunters saw that he had little interest in hunting, and after they spent another day and a half in the wilderness, the lion hunters had a new idea.
He said, "Lee, I'm sorry, I should have consulted you beforehand, I shouldn't have brought you directly to hunt, obviously, this is not your love." β
Li Du is not a person who does not know how to lift, he hurriedly said: "You are too polite man, my fiancΓ©e and I really don't have a lot of interest in hunting wild beasts, but this trip to the grassland has opened my eyes, and I thank you for your hospitality." β
Sophie also said: "Yes, sir, your hospitality is amazing, I now know that there is such a wonderful and rich life outside the United States, and it turns out that the tribes of Africa have such a deep culture!"
The lion hunter laughed happily, and he said, "You are good talkers, you speak very well, I have to entertain you well, hunting you are not interested, diving you should be interested, right?"
Li Du was not interested in diving, and he was about to say no, when the lion hunter continued: "I inquired, you have been diving in Australia for a long time before, haven't you?"
Since the other party had already inquired about their past experiences, Li Du was not very easy to refuse.
He could explain that diving in Australia was for the sake of fishing for black gold abalone, but the lion hunters might not believe it, and probably more likely to think they were looking for reasons to reject his kindness.
Even if he understood Li Du, if there was something to fish on the coast of Africa, it would be a lot of fun, and maybe he would invite Li Du to dive to fish for these things.
Therefore, Li Du decided to honestly follow the instructions of the lion hunter and go diving honestly.
The lion hunters were so enthusiastic about him, even a little too much, but they were well understood.
Cole introduced him as a representative of Harry Winston to examine the African diamond market, which he was almost a representative of given the Winston Group's position in the American diamond jewelry industry.
As we all know, the United States is the world's largest diamond consumer market, and although the United States produces almost no commercial diamonds, the United States accounts for 40% of the world's purchase of gem-quality diamonds.
Any owner of a diamond mine wants to have a good relationship with the American market.
Driving away from the savannah reserve, they had an extra neat lion's skin in their car.
This is the so-called wildlife sanctuary, which is the result of the South African government's shouting to protect Mother Earth, and Li Du can only shake his head.
But spending tens of thousands of dollars on a lion skin is not bad business for the government.
If they use the proceeds of the ticket to protect the savannah and its animals, then there is nothing to blame for doing so.
It's a pity that with Li Du's understanding of the black government in South Africa, he can't even think about such a thing.
The place where they were going to dive was some distance away from the savannah, but not far from the lion hunters' mines, both of which belonged to the province of Zulu-Natal, but one was in the interior and the other by the sea.
After flying by helicopter for most of the day, a piece of the Cote d'Azur came into view, and this was their destination, the South African harbour city of Durban.
Durban is known as eThekini in Zulu, which means "in the harbour".
As the name suggests, the city has an excellent deep-water port, which is an important window for South Africa to show itself to the outside world, and is better managed and environmentally friendly than inland cities, and is known as the best managed city in Africa.
Due to its location, Durban has a pleasant subtropical climate with sunshine all year round, so it's still a great place to dive even in South Africa's winter.
In addition, in terms of time, it is now the end of August, which is considered to be spring, and the northern part of South Africa is starting to get hot due to its closer proximity to the equator.
The helicopter landed on a helipad in the city, where the lion hunters had business partners and were given luxury cars such as Mercedes-Benz in the S series.
After landing, the first thing to do is to arrange a meal.
Li Du and the others entered the street by car, and soon he found something interesting, and said with a smile: "I feel that I am in Los Angeles, where there are many races." β
Whites, blacks, yellow people, you can see pedestrians of all colors on the street, especially Indians, in addition, Li Du also saw a lot of Asians, he thought they were Chinese.
The lion hunter smiled and said, "There are close to four million people in Durban, and a quarter of them are descendants of Indians, so, you can see a lot of Indians. β
"Those people are Chinese, right?" said Li Du, pointing to a few young people watching the big screen in front of the store, some of them wearing clothes with Chinese characters written on them: "!"
The lion hunter nodded, "Yes, many foreigners enter South Africa from Durban, and if you look at the architecture here, you will see that the architecture here is not only a fusion of African and British traditions, but also traditions from the Netherlands, Portugal and your China." β
After lunch, the lion hunters enthusiastically take them around the city, visiting local attractions such as the Bania Theatre and the African Antiques and Fine Arts Market.
Li Du smiled bitterly and said to Sophie: "This time we came to South Africa, we are not here to look for diamonds, but to travel." β
The main reason why he is not in the mood to go hunting and diving is that he came to Africa this time with a mission with four months left to complete the mission.
Sophie grimaced at him and said, "Who made yourself troublesome? If you want to find diamonds, you should go to Botswana, Russia or Canada, and go to South Africa?"
The world's three largest diamond mines are located in Botswana, Russia and Canada, and the diamond mines in South Africa have been almost exploited, so the current mining groups rarely come to South Africa to explore diamond mines.
But Li Du was forced to make this choice, because the Hai Jui-Winston Group did not have many resources in South Africa, Botswana and Canada, otherwise it would not have been pitted to buy an abandoned diamond mine in Canada.
As for going to Russia, the international situation there is uncertain right now, and in view of the historical relationship between Russia and the United States, he thinks it is better not to go.
The lion hunter misunderstood him and said, "OK, it seems that you have no interest in our city, I will take you to the Golden Shore, I hope it will satisfy you." β
In his eyes, Li Du has become a person who is not easy to serve.
Li Du couldn't explain that he actually wanted to study the distribution of diamond mines in South Africa and then go to find mines.
But this could not be known to the lion hunters, not that his search for diamond mines was tantamount to competition with the lion hunters, but that with his knowledge of the lion hunters, he believed that if he found a diamond mine, the other party would be happy to kill him and occupy the mines.
