Australia is an independent country in the British Commonwealth, and the diamond mine of Mr. Kong is located in the northern region with a high proportion of indigenous people, which is a private territory, and outsiders are not allowed to enter and leave without the permission of the owner.

The airport is about a few dozen minutes' drive from the territory, and Uncle Deng rarely speaks along the way, just silently looking out the window, as if he wants to find something worth appreciating in the desolate land.

Liu Yuhao smiled faintly and didn't bother Uncle Deng.

He knew very well in his heart that Uncle Deng did this because Fuji Yi was in the car, after all, they were two brothers, and even if Uncle Deng wanted to complain, he would not break out until he was alone with him.

And the opposite of everyone's performance is Xiao Nizi.

may be the reason why she rarely has contact with the outside world, Xiao Nizi has been very interested since she got off the plane, showing the resilient side of a woman, with a pink flush on her cheeks, and she is full of curiosity about everything.

Fuji Yi has a faint dark circle under her eyes due to jet lag, but Xiao Nizi seems to be sleepy at all, and she must be looking forward to this trip to a foreign country.

"Uncle Deng, what kind of place is there, why are there so many people?"

I didn't see anyone when I came out of the airport, and suddenly there were thousands of people gathered in one place, Xiao Nizi was a little curious, with a slightly yearning expression on her face, Uncle Deng glanced at it, and found Kong Dong'er's figure on Xiao Nizi, and immediately smiled, and said with a loving face: "Miss He, there is a rough diamond rough trading market, not a market." ”

But the old man thought that Xiao Nizi was playful!

"Oh!" He Jiayi's little face was slightly red, and then she smiled faintly and said, "Uncle Deng, you still call me Jiayi, Miss, Miss, it sounds weird." ”

Uncle Deng laughed, stroked his hair, and said, "Okay, I'll call you Jiayi in the future!" ”

Although Uncle Deng has never married and had children in his life, Kong Dong'er was brought up by him, so he has a natural sense of protection for girls of the same age, and Xiao Nizi can take the initiative to get close to him, which really makes Uncle Deng feel a lot more cheerful.

Liu Yuhao took the opportunity to ask, "Uncle Deng, is the control here very powerful?" Why were there hundreds of cars just now, but none of the people in the cars got down, and no one greeted each other? ”

Uncle Deng nodded, praised Liu Yuhao's meticulous observation, and said: "The rough diamond trading has a high risk, and the traders are very vigilant with each other, never showing up easily or greeting people they don't know, and every trader will not meet each other in the trading market." ”

"How can you trade without meeting?"

Xiao Nizi's beautiful eyes widened and her face was full of puzzlement.

Uncle Deng said with a smile: "The rough diamond trading implements the trader's license system, and the rough diamonds that are not allowed cannot enter the trading market for rough trading, and before every Tuesday, each sightsee will receive a list of auction rough stones, and everyone enters the market at different times and methods, and then is arranged to their own independent trading rooms, to see and subscribe, and after reporting the price, each buyer can leave and go back to wait for news." ”

Xiao Nizi's mouth bulged, as if to show that she didn't understand.

Liu Yuhao is different, he completely understands the trading rules in between.

The mining areas where rough diamonds can be mined have always been controversial, and greedy humans have endlessly exploited, plundered, and even killed in order to satisfy their personal desires!

But no one can do anything about this phenomenon!

Even the United Nations finally had to admit that behind the glittering octahedron there were hidden unspeakable secrets and blood-soaked crimes.

The appearance of the term "blood diamond" is the best proof of this.

The blood diamond does not mean a diamond with an alluring red glow, but rather a conflict rough diamond that is mined in a war zone and sold to the market.

According to the United Nations definition, conflict diamonds are defined as diamonds produced by internationally recognized parties that oppose a legitimate government.

It is named because the high profits and money obtained from the sale of diamonds will be invested in armed conflicts that are contrary to the spirit of the Security Council. Generally speaking, these factions secretly finance the activities of the mob or the invading military forces to wage war.

It's no wonder that every time Tengtie calls Liu Yuhao, he keeps complaining that there are too few brothers under his control, and he has always wanted to send more retired soldiers to this side through Mao Zhou's assistance.

Looking at the rough diamond trading market flashing in front of him, Liu Yuhao's mood slowly became heavy.

On the contrary, he felt that the original Myanmar Jade Grand Duke was crowded with people, and the landscape of thousands of people watching the stone was so beautiful, unlike here, where he didn't even dare to show his face as if he was a thief with money in his arms.

It's ridiculous and patheticly boring.

Xiao Nizi didn't think as much as Liu Yuhao thought, changed her usual dullness, and asked a lot of things about diamonds, and Liu Yuhao also smiled and explained them one by one.

In fact, how can diamonds be as good as girls imagine? In Liu Yuhao's view, the so-called sudden surprise is pure nonsense.

In the early days, diamonds were only a tool used to polish weapons, and there was no decorative element at all, and the reason why they were set on weapons was because soldiers could easily remove them at any time after the war.

In a world where strength is still the best way to win, whoever has the braver soldiers and generals can lead the country, and the ornamentality of diamonds will naturally be greatly discounted, replaced by practicality.

That is, when mankind entered the age of hot weapons, and no soldier was stupid enough to think that he could gallop on the battlefield with a spear and machete, diamonds slowly became the object of women's pursuit

Bypassing a muddy river beach, a five-meter-high barbed wire fence could be clearly seen outside the car, as well as patrol soldiers everywhere, Liu Yuhao slightly urged the ability to sweep around, there were as many as eight secret sentinels.

I'm afraid that Old Man He's residence has not been arranged with so many guards.

"Jiayi, although it is our own territory after entering here, it is better not to walk around at night."

It may be that when he arrived on his own territory, the danger did not exist, so Uncle Deng was finally willing to open the car window and let the fresh air blow in outside.

Xiao Nizi was stunned and said in surprise: "Why! ”

Liu Yuhao smiled and said, "You just listen to what Uncle Deng says, anyway, you are not the kind of person who likes to wander around, what are you doing when you ask this." ”

"Hmmm! All right! Xiao Nizi smiled and nodded.

In fact, Liu Yuhao knew what Uncle Deng meant, there are tens of thousands of miners in the mining area, basically all of them are indigenous people, to be honest, Liu Yuhao is not very relieved to let Xiao Nizi go out alone at night.

At the front of the convoy, Teng Tie was responsible for leading the way, so naturally there was no need to stop for inspection, and after driving for another half an hour, Xiao Nizi stopped asking questions, and she didn't need to explain now that she knew why Uncle Deng told her not to walk around at night.

Dirty wooden houses made of branches and dirt, narrow streets, stinking gutters with sewage running through, indigenous miners with yellow and white painted shoulders and chests

All of this speaks in silent language about the real life of the people in the mine.

Liu Yuhao glanced at Xiao Nizi who was frowning distressedly, and felt a little helpless in his heart.

But in fact, this mining area is already one of the best in the vicinity, and if you are unfortunate enough to go to the kind of mining area ruled by the local warlords, it will be a real disaster for the miners.

There, it was not uncommon for miners to have their hands and feet cut off for their resistance, and few made it out of the rebel-held mines alive.

The convoy soon moved on to the second barbed wire, which was slightly different from the first, albeit at a slightly lower height, but the two rows of sharp barbed wire were more formidable.

Uncle Deng smiled a little apologetically and said, "The guards will regularly wipe out all the traces here with tires dragged on the back of the car, so that any footprints will be exposed, and we will be really safe after entering." ”

Liu Yuhao nodded and did not speak, but tightly held the hand of Xiao Nizi beside him.

may be because the road just now was too bumpy, Xiao Nizi has now lost her initial interest, and her delicate little face shows a faint paleness.

In addition, Liu Yuhao found that infrared cameras, motion sensors, radar and armed patrols were all around, and it seemed that this was the heart of the mining area.

Uncle Deng may have seen something, and said with a smile: "It's nothing here at all, Tengtie's control is stricter." ”

Liu Yuhao frowned slightly, and the smile on his face froze, he didn't know that he actually misunderstood what Uncle Deng meant, and thought that the contradiction between the two had reached the point where it could no longer be reconciled.

However, this misunderstanding soon became clear the next day.

Finally, before dark, the convoy crossed the second line of barbed wire, where ordinary workers lived, and actually entered the core area of the Algai mine.

The environment here surprised Liu Yuhao, the boss with a long mouth, and he hadn't closed it for a long time.

"It's amazing, here and outside are two worlds!"

Liu Yuhao couldn't help but admire.

The verdant spread under the feet of the mighty spread gives people the feeling that on both sides of the street, in the core area in front of the house and behind the house, on both sides of the road, there are fragrant grasses everywhere, and the emerald paving is hard, and it is difficult to see an inch of bare loess.

Accustomed to seeing the dust in the capital, as soon as he stepped on the green "velvet carpet", Liu Yuhao was "drunk" by the fragrant fragrance of grass, and could no longer find a word that could express praise.

Uncle Deng smiled and said: "The river in the mining area has been completely polluted, and it cost tens of millions of dollars to build water intake facilities here.

At the beginning, Teng Tie laughed and said that Uncle Deng regarded the mining area as more precious than his own life, and Liu Yuhao still didn't believe it in his heart, but now, he can't believe it anymore.
