Chapter 50: Underground Base
Hou Dasheng listened to Snow Fox's words and couldn't help but exhale deeply. Sure enough, it is not a simple matter to need an identity that is not at all afraid of being investigated. However, as long as the path is right and the money is enough, it is not a difficult thing.
"Of course, the three million I'm talking about is a low-level identity. I don't think you're just thinking about being a low-level person, right?! Snow Fox grabbed the steering wheel and said with a smile: "Life, what we need is a quality life!" Then to have a quality life, you have to have a quality identity. Otherwise, no matter how much you are hindered by your status, it will be difficult for you to spend it. It's very sad. ”
Hou Dasheng was a little puzzled, why can't he spend more money?! Are you afraid that you won't have a place to spend your money?!
"Think about it, if we gave you the identity of an average chef. Then your monthly salary is at most $3,000 to $5,000. In other words, once your spending power greatly exceeds your income, then you will naturally attract the attention of others. Sometimes, this attention can bring you trouble or even disaster. ”
But he saw Snow Fox shrug his shoulders and said, "Moreover, the world is not high-quality services and products, and they are not just something you can buy with money." You also need identity. If it's a low-level identity, it's hard for you to get better resources and products. ”
Hou Dasheng couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this: "Can't I spend money?!" Don't they make money?! They're going to have a lot of money?! ”
"No, no, no...... My dear, of course they don't have a lot of money. However, they will not relax their inclusion criteria easily compared to other long-term, excellent customers. After all, top-notch service is also a status symbol. ”
As he spoke, Snow Fox smiled and lowered a hand from the steering wheel. Then he took out his wallet from his pocket and threw a delicate black card to Hou Dasheng. The latter took the card curiously and looked at it carefully.
On the three sides of this black card, there is a very delicate and beautiful pattern. In the center, there is a circular head. The head looks like a profile portrait of a quaint Roman soldier.
On the left side of this card, there is a square chipset. Hou Dasheng weighed it, as if this card was heavier. It seemed to be made of metal, not the kind of plastic he'd ever seen.
"AmericanExpressCenturionCard, the world's top credit card. That is, the legendary 'unlimited credit card' among the general population. Of course, those of us who use it know that it's not unlimited. However, this amount will be set according to your personal assets, spending situation and spending habits. ”
But I saw the snow fox whistle and said, "However, it can indeed bring us top-level enjoyment." We have access to more than 600 PriorityPass lounges in over 100 countries and 300 cities around the world, and we can handle everything from personal escorts at departure, assistance with expedited immigration and boarding, to assistance with customs clearance and baggage claim upon arrival. ”
"We can meet with well-known designers individually, preview the latest collections that haven't been showcased, and participate in couture and intimate events...... Wait a minute. To put it simply, this card allows us to have privileges that many people don't have. ”
Snow Fox shrugged his shoulders, looked at Hou Dasheng with a smile and said softly: "And it's not an application system." It is invitation-only. In other words, you don't have the money to get your hands on it. You also need someone to refer you. And the material of this credit card is not ordinary plastic or metal. It is made of titanium alloy. ”
Snow Fox looked at Hou Dasheng with a smile and said softly: "In fact, this card has a greater symbolic meaning for identity. Owning this card means that you have the right to enter certain areas with certain privileges. And this field is out of reach of ordinary people. ”
"The king may occasionally have dinner with his cook, but he will never bring his cook to a banquet with other kings." Snow Fox laughed softly and said, "And the recommender system has put an end to the emergence of this kind of situation from this level. ”
"The person who can get this card must be someone who has a certain amount of capital. To put it simply, it may be difficult for you to impress them with money alone. You need to get their approval before you get a referral. Moreover, the recommendation will affect their identity and status. Therefore, the right to recommend is not so easy to obtain. ”
As he spoke, the car turned behind a roadless sand dune. At this time, the car began to jolt, and Hou Dasheng was swayed from side to side by the bumps, feeling as if his whole body was about to be turned apart.
It rushed over several small dirt slopes and turned into the jungle. The chaotic inside and the gorge with no road made Hou Dasheng directly dizzy. After driving for more than half an hour, the car drove onto a relatively stable section of the jungle.
"Concrete road?! There is even a concrete highway here?! Looking at the road outside the car from the car window, Hou Dasheng couldn't help but be extremely surprised, you must know that this is the depths of the jungle! Who will build a concrete road here?!
Moreover, these concrete roads look as if they have been in use for a long time. Weeds have grown in some places, and the concrete road has been built deep into the jungle. The jungle that covers the sky and the sun directly becomes its natural barrier.
Snow Fox smiled and said softly: "You know, the situation in South Africa is already very complicated. The Dutch stayed here, and the British ruled. Now, it's the blacks who call the shots. But the traces of the past still exist. ”
The car moved forward for a while, and the snow fox suddenly swung the steering wheel around a hillside. This action directly made Hou Dasheng jump and slammed it into the seat.
"Fack! Couldn't this road be easier to follow?! "Hou Dasheng wants to scold his mother very much now, anyone who carries dozens of kilograms of equipment and is bumped for more than an hour will have a very bad temper.
Snow Fox laughed: "It's coming, don't worry." ”
The snow fox did not lie to Hou Dasheng when he said this, and the car stopped after turning two towering trees. Snow Fox motioned for Hou Dasheng to get out of the car, and then he took out a rain cloth from the trunk to cover the entire car.
After doing this, Snow Fox took Hou Dasheng and walked into the jungle: "This was originally a secret military camp of the Boers, but you know that the Boers have failed. So, it was abandoned. Perhaps out of anger, the Boers did not inform the South African side of the barracks. Instead, it was deliberately concealed and left to be abandoned. ”
As he spoke, Snow Fox shrugged his shoulders: "And it just so happens that we know here." ”
The snow fox led Hou Dasheng for about ten minutes and stopped in front of a mountain wall. But I saw the snow fox groping for a while, and then knocked a few times on the stone wall.
"Quack......" After a while, there was a mechanical sound from inside the stone wall. Under Hou Dasheng's stunned, the mountain wall actually opened a huge hole about three meters high and two meters wide.
After a while, the "ba~ba......" in the deep and invisible dark hole flickered, and then the lights were lit one by one. Hou Dasheng was directly stupid, where had he seen this formation?!
"You know why the Boers would rather rot here than give it to the South Africans?!" Snow Fox said with a smile: "The equipment here was first-class back then. Even today, it won't be far behind. ”
After Hou Dasheng and Snow Fox walked into the tunnel, the door on the stone wall began to close with a "click......click".
"Snow Fox, is that black card you said so powerful?! How can I sound like a novel......" Closing the door, Hou Dasheng was still immersed in the particularity of the card that Snow Fox had just said.
The snow fox didn't reply, and took Hou Dasheng as he walked: "One price, one enjoyment." Of course, this league is not just about making such high-end cards. Low-end cards are of course available, and even so-called 'black cards' are made to satisfy the vanity of some people. Things look almost the same, but the service is ......"
Hou Dasheng understood. In order to satisfy the vanity of the low-end, they have developed a similar "black card" that looks similar but actually has a huge difference in service items and quotas.
The two men chattered and chattered, and soon they reached the end of the cave. The cave wasn't as deep, at least not as deep as it might seem. Hou Dasheng was very puzzled, he and the snow fox had only walked more than 100 meters.
Why did it stop?! But I saw the snow fox walk to a stalagmite on the side, and reached behind the stalagmite and touched it. Then Hou Dasheng heard the electronic sound of "Didi Di ......".
I waited for a while, but I saw that the rocky ground in front of me was "rumbling ......" open! A downward passage was revealed. There is a light in the passage, and you can see that it is going down into the ground.
"We've taken the base, but we've done some renovations." Snow Fox shrugged his shoulders and said, "After all, if everything is as usual, it will be dangerous for us once someone finds their structural diagram." ”
Hou Dasheng nodded, and then followed the snow fox directly into the downward passage. When they entered the descending passage, the stone slab on it "clicked and ......" shut.
After walking along the passage for about three minutes, the whole space suddenly opened up! When I turned through an iron door, I saw an underground hall of about six or seven hundred square meters, and bright incandescent lamps hung on the top of the hall.
And the giant wolf looked at Hou Dasheng who came in with the snow fox with a smile, and said loudly: "Oh~ Our full-time chef is finally back!" Welcome! You are welcome to join us Jackals! From now on, we will be fighting together! ”
