Chapter Eighty-Seven: Arrival
Arriving in Madrid is still just after 2 p.m. on the 5th, and flights from Madrid to Bogotá will depart two hours later. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, when Zhou You arrived, Sanchez was already waiting at the airport with an assistant and six bodyguards.
They waited in the café at the airport for less than half an hour, and Bessaín and Gracia also arrived at the airport with a large group of people.
At first, Gracia also said that she would go to Colombia with Zhou You, but then she said that there were more things to do on Mallorca, and she did not take the initiative to go.
It didn't matter if she traveled around, whether she followed or not, it didn't have much impact on him, and he didn't think at this time that Gracia gave up his plan to go to Bolivia with him because she was pregnant.
For some reason, Gracia always felt that pregnancy was a distant thing, but now it had befallen her, making her feel incredulous.
She didn't even dare to tell Zhou You directly at this time, for fear of misdiagnosis. What's more, she was even more afraid that because she was pregnant, Zhou You would deprive her of the right to manage the company and let her take good care of the baby. She is reluctant to lay the foundation she has laid, and even more reluctant to let go of the power in her hands.
Zhou traveled to Colombia this time, and then he would go back to Singapore for the Chinese New Year, and after the Spring Festival, he would return to the Atlantic Ocean on the Ranger.
So, with a good grasp of the several time periods of the trip, Gracia was confident that he would be able to delay the secret until a few months later. When Zhou You entered the Atlantic Ocean and told him the fact that he was pregnant, at that time, he couldn't control himself.
There were fifteen people who accompanied Bessain to Colombia, but Zhou You knew that seven of them were arranged for himself.
He is very new to Colombia, he belongs to the outsider who can't find the temple with a pig's head, and if he wants to open up business relations and political speculation in Colombia, he also needs someone who knows the situation there very well.
And these seven people are the staff that old Volando arranged for him. And in Colombia, there is a team waiting for him, even more than the dozen or so people he brings with him now.
Although these people couldn't believe the young man who traveled around, but his name was outside, and the amount of money in his hands was terrifying, no one dared to look down on him, and several people were very polite and respectful to him.
With such a performance, Zhou You felt that it was enough, and Zhou You believed that as long as he did not perform badly and did things beautifully, he would have a chance to subdue them in the future.
On the plane, Zhou You didn't get close to them, he needed to get the information that old Volando had prepared for him from Sanchez first, and understand the basic information of each of these people, and then make further contact with them.
After a seven-hour flight, Zhou Yu arrived in Bogotá on the night of the 5th, but twenty-four hours had passed since Zhou Yu got up in the morning.
Coming out of the airport, Zhou You and Bessain parted ways, and he and eight of his men were picked up. And a group of 16 of them also got on the bus arranged by the hotel.
"There are two Hilton hotels in Bogotá, both of which are far from Plaza Bolívar, so I arranged for the Lido Hotel close to Congress, although this hotel is only 3 stars, but it is between Carrera 9th Avenue and Carré 11th Street, less than 500 meters from Congress, which is very convenient. What's more, the café on the ground floor is very famous, and MPs love to come here for a cup of coffee. ”
"Isn't there a better hotel near Congress?"
"The owner doesn't know much about Colombia, maybe not very well, Colombia's Congress is in the old city, where development is not allowed, so the best closest hotel is this one. The other hotels are a few kilometers away, and the streets of the old town are narrow, making it very easy to get stuck in traffic. ”
Soon, Zhou You saw the old town in Sanchez's mouth, if it weren't for the clean streets and the very atmospheric signs of the shops, Zhou You even thought he had come to the slum.
Although this 3-star hotel claims to be 3-star, it is similar to a European family hotel, in a house that is more than 100 years old. Zhou You looked at this three-story building with a dilapidated appearance, and wondered if he would kick it down with one kick.
This is supposed to be a commercial area, surrounded by branded clothing stores, as well as cocain shops, this hotel has an extra garden yard than other houses as a parking lot, but it can't park a maximum of ten cars.
But when I got inside, I was more satisfied. Whether it is a restaurant or a café on the first floor, it is all retro-style, full of historical charm, and it seems that time has been frozen here.
"There are only nineteen rooms on the third floor here, and a linen room, and I've had them all covered, and in the coming week, the third floor here will be ours alone."
Before the comparison, Zhou You did not praise Sanchez, but instead appeased and praised the two subordinates who had been arranged in advance.
Came to the room at the end of the third floor, and traveled around to be more satisfied, although the appearance here is a little worse, but the room is still quite good. The suite he lived in was more than forty square meters in size, with a balcony, a small garden, and even a kitchen.
The only thing that made him a little unhappy was that the street was a little too narrow, and his balcony was located on the side of the building, less than ten meters away from the balcony on the third floor opposite.
Seeing Zhou You's eyes staring at the opposite side, a young man who had been arranged by Sanchez in advance whispered: "I have learned all the surrounding situation, the building opposite is a clothing store, the first and second floors are shops, and the third floor lives a few female salesmen. Since their boss is very demanding, there are no outsiders coming in and out. ”
Zhou You nodded and asked, "Have you checked the telephone lines and eavesdropping equipment here?" ”
"We've checked it all, and we'll check it twice a day regularly."
Zhou You nodded and said, "Okay, let's go eat." After a day on the plane, everyone is also exhausted, eat early and rest early. ”
After eating a delicious South American-style barbecue and mushroom soup, Zhou You returned to his room to prepare for the exercises. On the plane, he just took advantage of the time of sleep to breathe for half an hour, and after sitting on the plane for such a long time, the muscles in his body were almost sore, and he had to exercise well.
After the practice, it was already early in the morning in Bogotá, but Zhou You still didn't feel sleepy.
It wasn't because he felt excited to be in this strange world, but because, starting tomorrow, he was going to be exposed to another life, something that his previous life experience was useless.
He is very self-aware, and knowing that the situation he will face from tomorrow is not only not his strength, but even his weakness. In his previous life, he was straightforward, happy and revengeful, and had never experienced this kind of occasion when he was deceived and deceitful, but he still had to greet him with a smile.
He was not used to such a life, and even less so. However, there are times when even he, the born-again, cannot escape from the world. If you want to be at ease in the future, you must give up your current small freedom. When he reaches the level of Bill Gates, no matter who it is, he will no longer be vain.
The world outside the window has been quiet, although it is the center of Bogotá, but it is an old town, there is no noisy night club, around the Plaza Bolívar, because most of the government agencies in Colombia are around, and there are no night markets, so at night, it seems very quiet.
For safety, although Zhou You opened the curtains, he didn't turn on the lights, so he sat in front of the window and watched the huge dark shadow of Mount Mosellat in the distance.
Although he was visiting Bogotá for the first time, he had heard of this mountain, on which hundreds of thousands of people had been executed, long before he had been in his previous life. And the city, if nothing else, next year...... No, it should be this year, and in nine months, the city will be attacked by guerrillas and face a brutal war.
Zhou You didn't care about the number of deaths and injuries here, he only cared about how to use this complex relationship to gain the greatest benefit for himself.
For example, an exclusive ocean search and salvage agreement is signed with the other party.
On the coast of Colombia, you will find two world-class shipwrecks in the future, one of which is the San Jose, which is claimed to be the most valuable shipwreck in the world.
However, due to the technical shortcomings of the Colombian government, they do not have the ability to salvage in the deep sea, and there is nothing they can do about wrecks below 1,000 meters. So, although they found the San Jose in 2015, they never recovered it.
If Zhou You hadn't become a Singaporean, he would have been within the scope of the technology export control organized by Batumi, and it would have been impossible for him to buy the two deep-sea robots he is using now.
You must know that there are still countless technologies in the mainland that are being exported and controlled by developed Western societies, and this kind of cutting-edge technological products will never be allowed to be obtained by the mainland.
Unless, the technology is almost fully mastered in the mainland.
Colombia doesn't have salvage technology, but it does! As long as Colombia is willing to sign an exclusivity agreement with him, Zhou You doesn't mind letting the San Jose rebuild ten years in advance.
Sitting there in a trance and thinking a lot, Zhou You didn't come up with a clue, and finally decided to go to bed.
However, the next morning, before the city woke up, Zhou You had already woken up. After pranayama, he decided to go out for a run and get acquainted with this strange city by the way.
It's really close to Congress, and Zhou You and his two bodyguards have even warmed up before they have arrived at Plaza Bolívar.
Due to the weekend, the Capitol building in the south of the square was not manned, but there were many police officers on duty around the square.
Continue south along the square, passing through a small square, is the Palazzo Nariño, the presidential palace of Colombia. However, during this time, because former President Arango was criticized and lost power, it also seemed much more low-key.
Because it's a weekend, it's still open to the public, and when you walk around, you can already see a lot of tourists queuing up to buy tickets to see the president's official residence.
It's just that Zhou Yu has no interest in this place. (To be continued.) )
