After the two sides reached a preliminary agreement, the rest of the negotiation work will be handed over to a special person to follow up, and Zhong Shi and Paulson, accompanied by Mbowini, visited the Anglogold company's mining sites, production sites and other places.

Although it was a visit, it was also a casual look, the mining area was dusty, and the production workshop was full of chemicals, which were not suitable for such delicate and expensive people as Zhong Shi and Paulson, so after a cursory glance, Zhong Shi and Paulson quickly lost interest.

On the third day, the highlight of the Anglogold company's arrangement finally came, namely the steppe hunt.

As the highest continent in the world, Africa has an extremely complex climatic environment, including eight different climatic zones, including tropical desert zone, semi-arid zone, equatorial zone, and Mediterranean zone. South Africa, located at the southernmost tip of the African continent, is mostly in the subtropical high-pressure zone, with a typical savannah climate.

Because of the climate, the animals living on this continent generally have the characteristics of large populations, coupled with the backward economic development, the destruction of nature is far less than that of other continents, so the variety of wild animals in Africa is second only to South America. This, combined with the sheer population and spectacular migrations, has made Africa's wildlife world-famous.

As environmental awareness has grown, governments in Africa, with the help of other countries, have set up wildlife sanctuaries, some of which have even crossed national borders. Of these, the oldest and most famous is the Kruger Nature Reserve in South Africa.

The Palace Hotel is a five-star luxury hotel located in the Kruger Nature Reserve, which is located in the deep part of the nature reserve, surrounded by lush vegetation all year round, all in the blue sky, close to nature and comfortable stay, making this hotel the best choice for tourists.

Nature. Hotels like this are also expensive. But in order to curry favor with Bell Stone and Paulson, Mbovini proudly rented eight rooms on the top floor for three days, spending a staggering amount of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

"Now that our trip is almost coming to an end, the big thing you mentioned has not yet happened!"

The Palace Hotel covers hundreds of acres and is extremely vast, but the building is only six stories high. Because the construction of high-rise buildings in such a place is undoubtedly destroying the landscape and is very incongruous. At this time, Zhong Shi stood in the attic on the seventh floor, looked at the refreshing scenery around, and said lightly.

"Don't worry, they'll be here tonight at the latest!"

In the face of Zhong Shi's questioning, Paulson did not show the slightest panic, and said with a grin, "I have to accommodate your time after all." ”

"Them?"

Zhong Shi nodded thoughtfully, and didn't ask anything more. He is not a curious person. But so far, Paulson still refuses to say what exactly happened, and Zhong Shi can't help but feel a little dissatisfied in his heart. But since it will be revealed tonight, he will not continue to ask, and he still has this patience.

"Alright, everything is arranged!"

At that moment, Mbowini walked up the stairs quickly, shouting loudly. "Three guides, five shotguns. Fifteen yellow antelopes, three lions. ”

"Isn't all this illegal?"

When he heard the yellow antelope, Zhong Shi didn't react yet, but when he heard the lion, he couldn't help but twitch violently, and subconsciously asked Paulson. "It can't be that he used some illegal means to get a place to hunt, right? If that's the case, then I'll have to think about it! ”

"Not illegal, certainly not illegal!"

Without waiting for Paulson to answer, Mbowini anxiously explained, "Mr. Chung. I guess you don't know enough about what we're going on here. In fact, in order to promote the balanced development of the ecological chain, hunting has always been an effective means that is allowed. For example, if an adult male lion dominates the territory and the group for a long time, this is not conducive to the reproduction and survival of other young male lions, so we must kill it when necessary. Another example is the yellow antelope, when their numbers reach a certain level, large-scale grazing will cause the danger of desertification in the grassland, and must be cleaned up regularly. Legal hunting is now an important source of funding for protected areas. ”

"I see!"

Zhong Shi suddenly realized and nodded in understanding.

The group was already large in number, and accompanied by three tour guides, this time it was a full six Humvee trucks, plus two trucks with logistics equipment, and the team of eight vehicles and dozens of guns set off in a mighty way after half an hour.

"Sir, do you want to try it?"

Through the iron fence, Zhong Shi saw a herd of zebras galloping on the grassland, the black and white stripes were particularly conspicuous in a piece of green, and the guide sitting next to Zhong Shi saw that Zhong Shi was a little fascinated, and couldn't help but suggest, and handed over the double-barreled shotgun at the same time.

"Isn't there no place for zebras?"

Zhong Shi asked in surprise. He did have some itchy hands, took the shotgun, and rubbed it carefully for a long time, and a stream of hot blood surged up in his head, making him a little confused at that moment.

Zhong Shi knew that it was the genes of the hunt that were at work. Every man has such genes, hiding in the wilderness, feeling the heartbeat of the prey, waiting quietly, and giving the prey the most fatal blow at the most suitable moment. This is a kind of killing for the prey, but for humans, it is a continuation and inheritance of life.

"Strictly speaking, zebras are not too much of an animal to protect. Although the law does not allow many hunts, the hunting of zebras is tacitly permitted because of the rapid rate of reproduction. However, because zebras are of little value and the meat is too coarse, we are generally not interested in zebras. But sir, you can try to shoot two shots, and you should practice your hands. ”

The dark-skinned guide flattered him, loaded Zhong Shi with two more bullets, and gave a detailed account of the tips for aiming, and then sat quietly to the side.

Judging from the posture of Zhong Shi and the others, the tour guide had long concluded that this person was not an ordinary person. In fact, the people who can come here to hunt are either rich or expensive, but the formation is so large that Zhongshi is like this, and this guide has not seen it a few times. When he learned that the person he had received was a high roller, he couldn't help but think about it.

The driver who opened the road also slowed down playfully so that Bell Stone could take aim.

The shotgun slowly poked out of the compartment. Aiming at the group of zebras that were unaware, and soon with a "boom", Zhong Shi fired the first shot of the hunt. Unfortunately, despite the fact that Zhongshi had prepared enough as the guide said, the bullet still didn't know where it had gone.

The herd of zebras was then alarmed and sped away at a faster speed. Unwillingly, Zhong Shi hurriedly fired a second shot. And then the shot still missed.

"Uh......"

After waving his hand in front of his nose to drive away the choking smell of gunpowder, Zhong Shi smiled bitterly and handed the gun to the tour guide, and at the same time kicked the front seat with his foot, and said viciously, "If you want to laugh, laugh, hold back your injury!" ”

Land Rover burst out laughing.

"Do you want to try again?"

The guide quickly loaded the new bullets, and the gun was handed over to Zhong Shi.

It's just that this time Zhong Shi flatly refused, and the experience of two off-target shots made him suddenly feel bored about hunting. The time to come. He lit a cigarette and leisurely watched the Land Rover show off his marksmanship, such as being able to hit the torso of his prey, but the Land Rover was hitting its tail, or shooting the antelope's horns when he was able to hit the eye.

Seven hours later, the group finally gathered their prey and arrived at the end of the hunt. A supply depot tightly enclosed by barbed wire and about the size of dozens of acres.

"Hehe, there's wild antelope meat to eat tonight!"

Land Rover was the first to jump out of the car. He said to Zhong Shi with a smile, and at the same time beckoned the others to get out of the car quickly and start camping.

Zhong Shi also got out of the car, and after most of the bumpy journey, he only felt as if his whole body was scattered, and there was not a single muscle that was not sore. Zhong Shi moved his body comfortably for a long time. After a long exhale, he began to observe his surroundings.

This is already the hinterland of the reserve, surrounded by verdant greenery, and the flock of antelope can be faintly seen between the grass and warblers, and the sound of squatting is mixed with the roar or two of fierce beasts. A breeze blows. The fresh breath is blowing in the face, which makes people feel refreshed.

"How does it feel?"

At some point, Paulson walked up to Bell Stone, brandished his shotgun, and said a little ostentatiously, "I hit an antelope." He pointed to the heart, "A shot kills." ”

"Really?"

Zhong Shi was a little surprised, and couldn't help but look at Paulson a few more times, "I didn't expect you guys to be so lucky?" ”

"Lucky?"

Paulson smiled disappretently and shook his head, "I've been to this place many times. Whenever I have a major problem or a bad mood, I come here to seek relief. I have to say that this is indeed my blessed place, and every time I go back from here, I always encounter a big harvest. ”

"How can there be such a thing?"

Zhong Shi tightened his clothes and walked towards the camp, "Actually, we are in the market, and we are no different from these beasts, and they are all the laws of the jungle. And the hunters with guns are the central banks and the Ministry of Finance that formulate policies, and if they accidentally bump into someone else's gun, they will end up in pieces. Ridiculous, ridiculous! ”

"Who's to say it isn't!"

"What we do every day is to speculate on the intentions of the Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, and other central banks around the world, and if we guess correctly, we can make a lot of money." If we guess wrong, we can only admit defeat and leave the game. So far, though, my luck hasn't been too bad! ”

After saying that, he sighed helplessly and smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Alright, don't say these discouraged words."

Zhong Shi walked to the fire and sat down on his own. At this time, the flames had jumped to half a person's height, and the warm feeling made him feel a lot more comfortable, and while the fire was roasting, he watched with interest as the guides handled their prey, and Zhong Shi said, "Now you can tell me what is going on." Remember, my patience is limited! ”

"Nature, nature!"

Paulson nodded, "Actually, it's a good way to describe this as it is." This time we're going to play a big one that revolutionizes our role as a prey animal. Now, the guy with the gun is our target! ”

"What?"

A gust of wind blew, and Zhong Shi didn't hear Paulson's words clearly, but he still accurately captured the words "guy with a gun". He looked at Paulson in amazement, his eyes burning, and asked word by word, "This time the target is not only gold, but also foreign exchange?" ”

"It's much more than that!"

Paulson's face twitched twice, and a hideous look appeared on his face, "Not only gold and foreign exchange, as long as the target can be shorted, all of them are our goals." ”

"Oh my God, what the hell are you trying to do?"

Zhong Shi stood up, looked at Paulson with a solemn face, and frowned into a big "Chuan" character, "Are you crazy?" (To be continued......)
