5. Noble people help each other
We knocked on the chief's door at the door, and a security guard came out and looked at us, and I communicated with him in English, and he said to report it, and then we waited outside the door, and it took about ten minutes for the security guard to open the door and poke out his head and say that the chief was not available today and did not receive guests, and then the big iron door was closed, and it seemed that the chief basically did not give us a chance to talk, so it seemed that it would be very difficult to do.
I told Wei Ergou about the situation, maybe he probably guessed what was going on, and before he heard me, he kicked the iron door violently. The security guard opened the door and angrily asked us what we were doing. I had an idea and took out 50 Sadie to the security guard and whispered to him that we were all good friends, and that we were inviting him to drink. As soon as the black man saw me give him money, he immediately changed his face, and I still can't forget that smile, it was like killing the rhythm of a chameleon, and a hippie smile took my money. I asked him why the chief didn't see us, and he said that the chief was very angry with the Chinese, and that several Chinese had been unhappy with the chief, and that the chief would marry his daughter the day after tomorrow and would not have time to see us.
I got into the car with Wei Ergou, Wei Ergou drove all the way for more than an hour, and took me into a construction site in the ravine behind a village, saying that it was a construction site, in fact, it was a dirt road pushed out by a bulldozer, and I saw a wooden house built of wooden planks from a distance, the wooden house was about 20 square meters, the roof was made of iron tile, and the outside of the wooden house was a very deep trench, and the wooden house yard and the dirt road were connected by a giant wooden plank, and the wooden board was directly sawn in half by the big tree, and the plane was laid in the middle as a suspension bridge on it, which showed how thick the tree was. The diameter is much wider than our car. When we got out of the car, an old Chinese man came out of the wooden house, and Wei Ergou introduced that this was his original gold digging boss Huang Jianjun. Huang Jianjun, who is about 50 years old, invited us into the house, which is basically made of tree poles as pillars and wooden planks as walls, and the ground is uneven mud. To the left of the door is a row of beds, like a barracks, and to the right is a table with a kitchen stove and sterilization cabinet next to it. Huang Jianjun brought a kettle, made us two cups of tea and invited us to sit down.
"Mr. Huang, what are they doing in the mine? The yield is okay, right? Wei Ergou took out the Yuxi cigarette in his pocket and handed it to Huang Jianjun, and lit it for him with a lighter.
"Ah Er's malaria is in the town hospital, and Ah Sanlao Hu is working in the well. The output is a little less than when you were there, Ah San, they still don't care, and the black people are very lazy. As soon as the black people relax, they will be inefficient," Huang Jianjun said to us, taking a puff of his cigarette. "Who is this?"
"I'm Xiaosheng, hello Mr. Huang, I'm Mr. Wei's new invitation" I just wanted to say "new translation" when Wei Ergou snatched my words and said:
"The director of external relations, Zhang Xiaosheng is a high-achieving student in my country who was poached from a famous university in Shanghai. Bai Ying, that girl, Mr. Huang, you know, I still remember when I was imprisoned, Zhang Xiaosheng has only been in Ghana for less than a month, and guess what, Bai Ying is now conquered by our Zhang Xiaosheng to be obedient to her woman, and now the cost of my customs clearance is very low. Not only did he clear customs, but Bai Ying also helped buy a new Carter excavator worth $300,000. "Wei Ergou talked endlessly, and I was embarrassed to listen to me.
"Oh? $300,000 Carter, that's cheap enough, I said you have a vision for the second dog. Hello hello, Zhang Xiaosheng, I am Huang Jianjun, the former boss of Ergou. Huang Jianjun stretched out his hand to shake my hand.
"Hello, Mr. Huang. I'm not as magical as Mr. Wei said. I continued with Huang Jianjun's words.
"Now it's really the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves, as soon as you enter the door, I see that you have an extraordinary temperament, I admire it, I don't tell you last time that I offended her, oops, I won't mention it." Huang Jianjun motioned for me to drink tea. I knew that he just wanted to support Bai Ying, but Bai Ying rejected the Guangxi boss.
"However, after the guidance of Mr. Wei, I now have a certain understanding of Ghana." I took a sip of tea, and then said, "I'm also a blind cat who meets a dead mouse, and Bai Xi likes me like this, and I'm ashamed." "I say this a bit like the tone of a TV series talking to a rival in love.
"By the way, Mr. Huang, this time, let's see if you are old, and second, if you have a way to find another piece of land?" Wei Ergou saw that the atmosphere of our conversation could not last, so he changed the topic and asked.
"I know that your kid has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, didn't you go back to China last time to see a piece of land, and last time you said that it was basically decided?" Huang Jianjun picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and leaned back in his chair.
"Oh, black people, you know, turning faces faster than turning books." Wei Ergou said this metaphor, and I want to be recognized in my heart.
"That's it, that's not easy to do, you know, I still found this land for me, I really don't know any landlord, don't you ask that Gana Tonga Feng?" Huang Jianjun said.
"Don't mention Ah Feng, it's good that I didn't settle accounts with him, it turns out that the land is said to have been intercepted by him from the chief, and ah, he helped me pick it up when I came to Togo and entered Ghana, and I was imprisoned that night, and I called him and said that it was none of his business, you said that this person is not kind at all. Fortunately, Xiaosheng has a good way, and he directly bowed to the director of the ** immigration bureau and fished me out of the bureau. "Wei Ergou exaggerated me again, and also made up the matter of worshipping the director, and later people in Guangxi rumored that I worshipped the director of the ** immigration bureau.
"This kid has really done a lot of unreliable things this year, and I have heard that many Guangxi villagers said that he specializes in cheating our own people in Guangxi." Huang Jianjun said, "If he robbed your land, you should really settle accounts with him." But this kid's relationship is also very hard, and it is said that the president has a way. ”
"It's mostly, I must settle accounts with him when I see him. But for now, I have to quickly find the ground to go first, otherwise it will be difficult to do it after a long time and the rainy season comes. Wei Ergou snuffed out his cigarette and took a sip of tea.
"This matter really can't help, I have nothing to do with the landlord, the only one I know is the chief, why doesn't he have a mine now?" Huang Jianjun looked at the second dog and asked.
"Hey, I have to blame Ah Feng for this, hey, anyway, the chief doesn't wait to meet the Chinese now, and he doesn't give him a chance to meet at all?" Wei Ergou deliberately accentuated his tone when he mentioned the word Ah Feng.
Huang Jianjun stood up and didn't speak, went to a bed pillow inside to take a red envelope, took it and said, "Look, this is what the landlord asked people to bring over yesterday, and I haven't looked for anyone to see what it means." ”
"Xiaosheng, take a look." Wei Ergou handed it to me again.
I opened the envelope, and inside it was a greeting card, which roughly meant an invitation, and the day after tomorrow, the chief's daughter was invited to the wedding. I translated the general meaning, and Huang Jianjun immediately continued, "Otherwise, you can take this invitation and participate, just in time to meet the chief, maybe there is still a chance to talk to him, there is still hope for the mine."
Huang Ergou took the envelope, although he couldn't read it, but he looked at it repeatedly, and his face was full of smiles.
We said goodbye to Huang Jianjun's construction site, and Wei Ergou told me in the car that Huang Jianjun was the boss who used to dig gold in Heilongjiang, and he was responsible for managing the construction site. Later, he came to Ghana, and also helped him to manage the black and the construction site, he was all charging into battle at sunrise and night, worrying about big and small things on the construction site, and he never hid some gold for profit like other Chinese gold mine managers, so Huang Jianjun saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, and he was also very grateful to him, and he wanted to do it alone for a year, and Huang Jianjun didn't say a word and took out one million as Wei Ergou's previous contribution to him. Wei Ergou also mentioned that in the past, Huang Jianjun's daily output was 1,200 grams, and at that time, there were more than 300 gold, and it was 360,000 yuan a day!
