Yang Ping squatted down and picked up a ivory carved rhinoceros, turned it over and looked at it, and after a while, he changed a few more, then put it down, clapped his hands and shook his head to Xiao Liu.

"I thought black people were loyal and honest, who would have thought that a mess of ivory was all fake."

Mo Wenshan didn't know how to play, and was surprised: "Won't it?" This is where ivory is grown. ”

Yang Ping shook his head: "It's all plastic, let's go to a few more stores." ”

Wu Guangjun took off the Penny hat on his head to wipe his sweat: "Mr. Yang, are you going to buy a lot of ivory products?" If you have to buy it, it's best to buy some tin foil, wrap the ivory products, and scatter them in the suitcase, so that it can easily mix with the customs X-ray machine. ”

"Oh, and that's it?" Yang Ping unscrewed the mineral water for Xiaoliu and handed it over, "Make up some water, I actually don't plan to buy ivory, but I'm very angry when I see so many fake ivory, you see that there is a billboard with custom ivory, which is Chinese, which is all to fool Chinese compatriots." ”

Wu Guangjun laughed: "Mr. Yang doesn't plan to buy ivory, what else do you want to see, this is called Europe Street, you see that it is only about 100 meters inside, but it is also the most famous ivory and black wood market in Khartoum." There are not only ivory and black wood, but also gold and silver ware, porcelain, pottery, lacquerware, enamelware, dates, sculptures, book paintings, folk crafts, precious jewelry, etc., basically Chinese who come to Sudan will buy here in large quantities. ”

Yang *ping nodded and took Xiao Yanagi's hand: "Then let's go in and take a look, there shouldn't be many fakes in the shop." ”

Mo Wenshan chatted while walking: "Xiao Yang, how do you see the authenticity of this ivory thing?" I picked it up and looked at it for a long time, but I didn't see anything wrong. ”

"Let's go. I'll tell you more about it when you come to the store. ”

Yang Ping and the others walked into an ivory goods store. Wine glasses and tambourine stay in the doorway, looking around warily.

The owner was a gray-haired black man. The mustache is neatly trimmed and welcomes everyone with a smile.

Yang Ping picked up an ivory statue of an African indigenous girl and pointed it to Mo Wenshan: "This is the real ivory." Ivory is the best thing to distinguish between real and fake, its herringbone grid, diamond-shaped grid pattern can be said to be difficult to imitate, plastic imitation lines are layer by layer, you can see at a glance. Well, recently someone in Fujian has made this kind of herringbone fake ivory. But the texture is particularly comprehensive, for example, all the places on a bead are that kind of herringbone grid, which is very rigid. ”

He joked again: "There is also the characteristic of plastic ivory, which is that the smell of plastic is very strong when burned, and the test method of burning will be beaten by the boss." ”

Mo Wenshan suddenly picked up a ivory carved leopard to learn: "It's so simple, this layer of window paper can be seen through at all." ”

delaying other people's business, Yang Ping simply bought a hundred catties of black wood rolling pins in the store, think about how many there are. Black wood ostrich carvings, black wood African elephants, black wood rhinoceros, African lions, giraffes, black wood indigenous heads, full-body statues, etc., almost emptied the black wood carvings in the owner's shop.

Yang Ping has experience, originally four hundred dollars a piece. The statue weighing up to five kilograms was cut in half and then in half because of the large amount. A hundred dollars, something else, and so on.

Yang Ping has the momentum of a Chinese aunt snapping up gold in Europe, sweeping all the way to the past, what Sudan red, dates, tanzanite blue, everything comes to dozens of catties! As a result, I had to let a car go back to the goods first.

Everyone bought some water and food on Europe Street, and Yang Ping insisted on buying a few large bags of sugar. When the car came back, everyone went straight to the Sultan Pyramid after lunch.

Leaving Khartoum, there are a series of mud houses outside the city, much like the rural villages in the western part of the country, with adobe houses and loess dwarf trees and telephone poles...... The local aborigines have a lot of Ah San's ability to hang up, and the roof of the bus is full of black people, who don't care about the dusty sky at all.

The car sped for 100 kilometers, and a patch of sand dunes appeared in everyone's field of vision, and Xiaoyanagi became happy again: "I finally saw the desert, you see, there are still many camels there, what are those people in white robes doing?" ”

Wu Guangjun smiled: "That's waiting to pull guests, it's similar to our country's rickshaw." ”

Koyanagi was excited: "Let's go sit on a camel." ”

Yang Ping looked at the navigation and sighed: "It's still two hours by car, let's go to the pyramid and sit again, if you take a camel and walk more than a hundred kilometers, it's a matter whether you can get there tomorrow." ”

Koyanagi covered his face with a veil: "Okay, remember." ”

Outside the car was a vast desert, without a trace of clouds, and Xiao Yanagi was lucky: "Fortunately, it's not summer, and the sun is not so intense, otherwise I will be laughed at by Sister Gu if I get a tan." ”

On these two cars are Wu Guangjun, tambourine, and Yang Ping Xiaoliu.

Yang Ping struggled to communicate with simple English, gestures and tambourine, and asked him how he could legally catch an African elephant and in what country it was best to hunt.

The tambourine is very clever and opens the big white fangs: "Sir, you can hunt anywhere, well, it is more convenient to hunt elephants in South Sudan, where no one cares, the locals don't hunt animals, what do they eat?" ”

Wu Guangjun explained: "Mr. Yang, South Sudan has been in constant war in recent years, and the places we help to build have often been implicated, but after experiencing the war, people have realized that South Sudan has always been a world of wild animals. Because there are large areas of the Guò wetlands that are inaccessible to humans, they are a paradise for wildlife. ”

"The government of Southern Sudan has long announced wildlife protection regulations that prohibit the hunting of wild animals. The Dinka people who live in the Saad wetlands still have a tradition of hunting animals for jerky. However, the local government deliberately ignores these subsistence hunting practices. What they prohibit is hunting with firearms. ”

"Before you came, Mr. Mo had already asked me to contact the local deputy minister in charge of wild animals, and he told me that for thousands of years, the local aborigines have walked out of their huts in the morning with a spear in their hands, but now hunters use automatic rifles, and almost no wild animals can escape such hunting, and there is an essential difference between spears, bows and arrows and firearms. Therefore, general hunting for subsistence can be saved, but commercial hunting must be prohibited. ”

Xiaoliu applauded: "Yes, such a cute little elephant, why do you hunt for your own selfish desires?" ”

Yang Ping drank saliva in disappointment, but still strived for: "Oh, we also strictly control hunting in China, but we will also approve some old, weak, sick and disabled animals for people to hunt, one is to better protect the animal population, and the other is to give some economic compensation to local herdsmen, and can get more special funds for animal protection, can't it be flexible here?" ”

Wu Guangjun glanced in the rearview mirror to see if Mo Wenshan's car had kept up, and smiled: "People in economically backward areas are the most flexible, their wildlife field commander Majak has a good relationship with our aid construction command office, he can let you go to Boma National Park to hunt an African elephant recognized by experts from the Wildlife Conservation Association, but there are many conditions." ”

Yang Ping thought there was no hope, and when he heard this, he slapped the seat suddenly: "Great, what conditions?" ”

Wu Guangjun put down the visor: "The first is of course money, the local animal protection association needs to spend ten years to install GPS satellite collars for wild animals, which is a big expense, so those old, weak, sick and disabled wild animals will be auctioned and hunted." There is also the difficulty of Sudan's defectors who often return to poach rhinos and other ungulates, and they have to send troops to protect the last white rhinoceros, and a wildlife conservation group is seeking international financial assistance......"

Yang Ping is a mortal, and he doesn't have much perseverance to resist this temptation, African elephant! The largest mammal on land! What would it feel like to make a specimen and put it at home? As soon as his mind was hot, he didn't think about where to take such a big adult African elephant back. It seems that the third phase of the secret is just around the corner.

"Okok, I'm willing to help, how much? What are the conditions? ”

Wu Guangjun nodded and paused: "Well, the estimated cost is 100,000 euros, and if you are interested in other animals that have been reviewed, you can add money, for example, the price of a lion is 20,000 euros." And since it's a sidekick, the fig leaf is still needed, and you can't use firearms for hunting, you can only use bows and crossbows. ”

Yang Ping has a compound bow, which is not a problem, what he cares about is that it is too expensive, and smacks his tongue: "One million yuan." ”

Wu Guangjun explained with a smile: "Actually, this price is very cheap, and the price quoted by the international hunting company is to hunt a baby elephant over 90 pounds for 100,000 and 400 dollars. With the permission of the Wildlife Field Command, an adult male elephant should be so cheap that it should be secretly laughing. ”

Xiao Liu shook Yang Ping's arm: "It's too expensive, how many good deeds can I do with so much money." ”

Yang Ping hesitated, this can't be linked to the Sunshine Project, once connected, he will feel very guilty: "Alas, money is not a problem, but I have to think about it, Angkor, okay?" ”

Wu Guangjun nodded and smiled: "Okay, in fact, 100,000 euros is just the beginning, and later I have to go to Europe to find a master-made zuò specimen, and transport a few tons of African elephants all over the world, freight, approval...... Alas, it's a big head to think about. ”

Yang Ping fell into the chair stupidly: "Huh? It's not meant to be played at all. (To be continued......) R1292
