Liu Handong didn't care, Qin Xianyang contacted the local embassy for help, in line with his way of thinking, the instructor officer transferred to a state-owned enterprise, life is a person of the country, death is a ghost of the country, of course there is difficulty to find the country, unlike himself, everything depends on himself first, and he really can't find the country when he can't.

Tajikati is similar to Dubai, a city built on a desert by the sea, the old city is full of earthy yellow, and the new city is a half-stopped viaduct, huge foundation pits, dilapidated and depressed, like the ruins of a nuclear war, this is a desperate city.

"It's not beautiful at all." Liu Handong said to the taxi driver.

"If you want to see beautiful places, I'll take you." The driver's English has some odd accents, but it's fairly fluent.

He took Liu Handong to the east of the city, where the Colin Palace is located, a lush oasis by the sea, a large area of date palms, palm trees, and white palace buildings are hidden among the green trees, and a breeze blows in the face, not the kind of ** salty sea breeze, but a fresh and moist cool breeze, this refreshing wind comes from the countless fountains in the palace garden, forming a unique microclimate in the hot desert, you can imagine how huge the expenditure is to maintain such a garden in the Arabian Peninsula, where water is more expensive than oil.

The palace strictly prohibits idle people from approaching, and can only look at it from a distance, otherwise the military and police will come to inquire, the driver is a Pakistani laborer, with a labor visa, and he doesn't want to cause trouble, he said to Liu Handong: "If this place is not beautiful, he has another place, and it is guaranteed to be beautiful." ”

"Check it out." Liu Handong said.

The driver drove for twenty minutes to the sea, which was extremely barren and uninhabited, only a lonely lighthouse in the desert, the blue waters of the Persian Gulf washed the shore, white seagulls soared in the sky, and behind it, a red sun was sinking in the west.

"Whenever I miss my hometown, I come here to relax." The driver stood next to the car, squinting at the sea, and suddenly read out a poem: "Inmyso1itudeofheartIfee1thesighofthiidoedeveningvei1eithmistandrain."

After admiring the sunset over the Persian Gulf for a while, the two got in the car and went back to the city, passing by a chaotic residential area, the driver pointed to the simple house made of fiberglass tiles and said: "The migrant workers all live there, all of them are Muslims from South Asia, and they only earn three or four hundred dollars a month, making them the poorest people in this country." ”

When he returned to the Kempinski Hotel, Liu Handong asked the driver how much the fare was, and the swarthy Pakistani guy stretched out a finger: "One hundred dinars." ”

Colin's currency in circulation is the dinar, which has a fixed exchange rate with the US dollar, one hundred dinars is equivalent to twenty dollars, and it is only twenty dollars after such a big circle, and the price is not only fair, but it is a bit of a loss.

"I asked you to see the sea." The driver was very bold, "The friendship between China and Pakistan will last forever." ”

Liu Handong took out a hundred dollars: "Thank you my friend, Allah bless you, can you leave your name, if necessary, I will call you." ”

The driver gave him a card with the name and number on it.

"Sharif." Liu Handong wrote down the name, the Pakistani driver who could read Tagore's verses.

……

The next day, Qin Xianyang came to the hotel to find Liu Handong, saying that he had already found a place to live, and even the office of the office was optimistic, and he only waited for Liu Handong to see it and made a deposit to sign the contract.

Qin Xianyang's optimistic place is on a bustling street in the old town of Tajikati, which is the fourth floor of a five-story office building, more than 70 square meters, simple decoration, convenient transportation, Liu Handong has no objection, the two went to purchase telephones, fax machines, printers and other office equipment, Tajikati only has a waste electronic shop that operates second-hand goods in Japan, and the scale is not as good as the domestic electronic city.

Two desks and sand were brought into the office, two newly bought wool handmade rugs were laid on the old wooden floor, and the portrait of the king was hung on the wall.

The two of them were busy with a stinky sweat, and there was only an old-fashioned Japanese-made window air conditioner in the office, but the rumbling air conditioner was insufficient, Qin Xianyang said that he had to buy a new air conditioner and refrigerator, and go to the government to register it.

Liu Handong said that there was no need to register, and there was no business anyway.

Qin Xianyang said: "Now I can tell you why I came to Colin." ”

"Why?"

"I'll tell you a story, once upon a time, there were two salesmen who received the same task and went to the temple to sell combs......"

"Stop, I don't want to listen to your Chicken Soup for the Soul story, as it seems on "Reader", you don't have to go around in circles if you have something to say." Liu Handong interrupted unceremoniously.

Qin Xianyang smiled embarrassedly: "Then I won't take a detour, I think about it like this, Colin is a relatively poor country, relatively, in fact, sitting on the oil field, even if the reserves are limited, it is not a problem to feed one million people, and their royal family is not poor at all, as far as I know, the emir of Colin is their supreme leader, equivalent to the king, he is already very old, an old man in his nineties, he will not be alive for too long, after his death, the crown prince will ascend the throne, and he will definitely work hard, To create a business, although we can't get oil and gas resources, we can find a way to build oil refinery projects and provide them with one-stop service, which is our strength. ”

When Liu Handong heard this, he admired Qin Xianyang's ability and courage a little.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door, Qin Xianyang went over to open the door, and a few people came in, looking around, talking nonsense for one person, and finally proposed to charge a management fee.

Liu Handong and Qin Xianyang looked at each other, but they didn't expect to meet the local underworld and collect protection money from our state-owned enterprises.

"To give or not to give?" Qin Xianyang asked.

"I can't give it, it's over if I open this head." Liu Handong said.

"Then I'll call the embassy." Qin Xianyang reached out to get the phone, but was stopped, the faces of several strong men were a little ugly, and they put on a posture to make a move, but Liu Handong's face was darker than theirs, and his big fists were squeezed.

Seeing that they were not easy to bully, the extortion gang left in a huff, and Liu Handong was proud: "The strong dragon is to suppress the head snake on the ground, fight with me, they are still early." ”

He didn't have long before the police, dressed in similar clothes as the gendarmes, wearing khaki uniforms, turbans, and British Browning pistols at their waists, demanded that their passports and business licenses be checked.

Qin Xianyang explained in Arabic that we are employees of a Chinese energy company and have come to the Colin branch to raise funds, but we just arrived yesterday and have not yet rushed to apply for a license.

Liu Handong is now here, Qin Xianyang's Arabic level is no worse than his own, thinking that the instructor got up early every day to memorize English words, and it makes sense, this guy was a scholar when he was in middle school, and he went to the 6th Military Academy because his family was poor, because he didn't have to pay tuition to save money for his younger siblings to study.

The attitude of the police was very arrogant, and they searched the house through boxes and cabinets, Liu Handong wanted to do it, Qin Xianyang signaled with his eyes that he should not act rashly, these policemen were obviously in a gang with the ruffians and hooligans, and they deliberately came to find fault, and they were in their hands.

"There's beer, and there's smoke!" The police exclaimed as if they were a new big 6.

The non-alcoholic beer was given to them by Tian Fei, a small box of twelve cans, and the cigarettes were Li Song's gifts, a piece of American good luck, which is not violated, even according to Islamic law, it doesn't matter, because the two are not Muslims.

But in a place like the Emirate of Colin, the police don't follow the law with you, because they are the law, and the police want to arrest two people for smuggling, Liu Handong was anxious when he heard it, he was really caught, but no one fished himself, this is not like Dubai, it is possible to be killed in prison.

He was about to break out and hurt people, Qin Xianyang said loudly It's better to arrest me alone, you always need someone to pay a fine.

The police thought it made sense, so they handcuffed Qin Xianyang and pulled him downstairs and stuffed him into the police.

"Go to the embassy, don't escalate the relationship, we can leave, but the future is gone!" Qin Xianyang was afraid that Liu Handong would be impulsive, so he held the door of the police car with his hand and shouted, the police were angry, and waved the baton and beat it indiscriminately, the baton used by the Colin police was a wooden stick made of hardwood, which was not as tough as a rubber stick, and Qin Xianyang would bleed on his head after a few sticks.

"Don't be impulsive." Qin Xianyang was pressed into the car, and he shouted to himself, Liu Handong gritted his steel teeth, tried to restrain his anger, and watched the police drive away.

When he came downstairs, the tires of the Toyota Camry were already deflated, and there was no need to ask if the ruffians did it, so Liu Handong had to call Sharif and ask him to drive to pick him up.

Five minutes later, Sharif's taxi drove downstairs, and Liu Handong got in the car and said he was going to the Chinese embassy.

"Was it blackmailed?" Sharif asked.

"How do you know?" Liu Handong was surprised, it seems that taxi drivers all over the world are the same, well-informed and know everything.

"There are a lot of gangsters here, all foreigners, Palestinians, Turks, Kurds, and Muslims from the Balkans in Europe, all bad guys, very bad guys, human trafficking, drugs, extortion, the Chinese are notoriously rich and afraid, of course they want to knock it." "It's useless to look for the embassy, because the embassy can only go to the police, and the police are bought by the bad guys, and they are in a gang," Sharif said. ”

Liu Handong asked about some gangster organizations, and Sharif also heard about it, and talked nonsense all the way, and the embassy arrived.

The Chinese Embassy in the Emirate of Colin is a small white building, with two rows of flat-roofed houses, iron fences, a yard planted with date palms, a bronze plaque hanging in front of the door, no police on duty, only a South Asian gatehouse.

The size and level of the embassy are directly related to the country in which it is stationed, and the ambassador to the United States, Britain, France, Russia, and other permanent members of the United Nations Security Council is inevitably at the vice-ministerial level, while the ambassador to the general country is only at the level of director and deputy director-general, and the ambassador of unimportant small countries and even the ambassador is only at the department level.

The embassy staff received Liu Handong and promised to do his best to coordinate and let him go back first and wait for the notice.

"What kind of attitude do you have, do you still have the people in your heart!" Liu Handong was very dissatisfied with this perfunctory attitude, and slapped his temper on the table, "My country's citizens were illegally arrested, you are still slow and not in a hurry, people have three longs and two shorts, are you responsible?" ”

The staff was also angry: "Our diplomatic agency has the responsibility to rescue our citizens, but we are not the local government after all, and we also need to coordinate......

Liu Handong was very unhappy, left angrily, went out of the door and got into the car, and asked Sharif: "Sharif, do you know where to sell guns?" ”
