In addition to the above things are essential, the staff of Naison company also specially reminded Hong Tao to bring some small gifts, such as clothes, small electrical appliances, all kinds of small knives and the like, the reason is that this kind of hunting activities often have to contact some local tribes in Africa, and sometimes even have to wait for prey in the tribe's territory, so it is necessary to have a good relationship with the local tribes, and the most important point of a good relationship is to give gifts to each other, if you don't have a suitable gift to others, Then you will be seen by the locals as disrespectful, unwelcome at best, and attacked at worst.

"I'll go to his grandmother's leg, isn't this a robbery! Hong Tao, what do you think is the best gift for us to bring? Although the fat boss is angry, he still has to bring it, after all, it is not his own home, it is someone's territory, and he has to bow his head when he should bow his head.

"I haven't been there either, where do I know the way? Why don't we go to the store and buy some clothes to bring over? It's New Year, and many stores are on sale, and the one we passed by yesterday had a sign on the front of the store that said $100 for 10 jeans. Hong Tao didn't know what those tribes in Africa liked, so he could only guess wildly.

"No, I have a way, you don't have to worry about it, I called the country and asked them to help prepare, don't you want a gift? I've prepared something good for them, and I'm sure they'll love it and feel uncomfortable! Boss Liu was also not very satisfied with this habit of forcibly accepting gifts, and the words he said were all said through gritting his back molars.

"Uncle Liu, don't be angry about this matter, the emperor is far away from the sky, and no one can mess with those natives." When Hong Tao heard Boss Liu's words, something was not right, what kind of gift had to be prepared from China? Don't ship a batch of newspaper-filled down jackets from China, it would be too child's play with your own life.

"Hey, don't worry, I'm more afraid of death than you, and I won't do that kind of unobtrusive thing. I asked the country to help me haul a few boxes of high-altitude liquor over, that thing is the most suitable gift, they specify to like, but after drinking, hey, hey, I can't kill them! "Boss Liu is 100% worthy of the saying that people are old and treacherous, and every wrinkle on his face is the wisdom of life.

"Oh, this gift is very good, but the price of hauling it from China is not low, I'm afraid it's more expensive than the price of wine, right?" Hong Tao thinks it is quite appropriate to use Chinese liquor as a gift. It not only reflects the traditional Chinese culture, but also can increase the feelings of both parties, whether it is white or black, it is estimated that drinking too much is a virtue, but the price seems to be a bit high.

"Cut, if you want to have fun, you don't want to spend money, where is there such a good thing? You don't care, we're going to spend money and have fun this time, as long as we have fun. It's worth the money! "Having goods in your waist is enough confidence, Hong Tao can only secretly admire, but I'm afraid I can't learn this thing.

There is actually nothing special on the list of must-have items given by Naison Company, they are all must-have items in the wild. Finding a random fishing and hunting store in Seattle is almost all you need, but the price is a bit expensive. The goods in Lao Mei's store are very complete, and the quality is also very good, whether it is made in the United States or imported. Basically, the quality is top-notch, but the good quality is the corresponding good price.

Hong Tao originally meant to spend a few hundred dollars to solve these items, but in the end it cost almost more than 3,000 dollars to get them all. The hunting suit alone costs more than 700 US dollars, and it is said that it is made of high-tech fabrics, which are specially used to make military uniforms for the US military stationed in the tropical regions of the Middle East, and can reflect sunlight to reduce the temperature of the human body, and can prevent the bite of various mosquitoes, and also has a certain stab-proof clothing function, which can effectively reduce the pressure on the unit area.

When the shopkeeper heard that Hong Tao and they were going to Africa to hunt, he immediately took out this light earthy yellow clothes, sprayed at Hong Tao and the three of them, and then successfully captured the hearts of Boss Liu and the fat boss.

At first, Boss Liu insisted on the camouflage paint, but the shopkeeper persuaded that, according to the shopkeeper, camouflage clothing is suitable for temperate or tropical jungle landforms, and in the savannah environment like Africa, this camouflage color that is closer to the color of the land is more suitable, and in the mountains or cold zones, it is better to choose another blue and white paint.

In order to prove his theory correct, the shopkeeper took the trouble to take out a large photo album, which had many photos of his former customers hunting in hunting clothes purchased in his store, although there were no photos in Africa, but there were some photos in the Gobi region of Nevada, Texas, California and other places in the United States, and the people in those photos were basically wearing this kind of earthy yellow clothing.

Since they said it so professionally and came up with more convincing evidence, Boss Liu listened to the persuasion to eat a full meal, and according to what the shopkeeper said, the color was set to that faint earthy yellow.

The shopkeeper's professional, patient and responsible service attitude won the affirmation of Boss Liu, so he asked Hong Tao to take out the list and hand it directly to the shopkeeper to see if he could provide as much remaining equipment as possible, so that Hong Tao and the others would no longer have to wander around.

The shopkeeper was really not ambiguous, and after reading the list, he immediately picked up a pencil and sketched on the list, ticked all the goods that his store could currently provide, and then picked up the phone to make a call, and then restocked the goods that were not in his store or were insufficient on the list.

I have to say that the service attitude here is called a stick word, most of the orders will be delivered to the store the next day, including a few bottles of deworming drugs specifically for Africa, due to too few orders, the manufacturer does not care about delivery, the shopkeeper did not say a word, directly let his clerk drive more than 200 kilometers to Portland to pick up the goods, and then the next day all these goods were packed and sent directly to the hotel where Hong Tao lived.

There is also a detail here that is worth learning from our domestic merchants, the shopkeeper was preparing to deliver to Hong Tao when he asked whether these items needed to be checked in luggage, and when Hong Tao answered that they needed, the shopkeeper made a suggestion, that is, to pack these goods in a special way and seal them with a special label.

In this way, when boarding and consigning, the customs personnel will not open the bag and check it after seeing the label and confirming that the label is intact, which is equivalent to the shopkeeper giving Hong Tao a guarantee for them, and this service is free of charge and does not charge additional fees.

On January 9, 2005, Hong Tao, Boss Liu, Fat Boss, and an escort from Nathan Company embarked on a flight from Seattle to New York, from New York to Madrid, and then from Madrid to Dar es Salaam Airport.

This way is a transfer and then a transfer, because there is no visa, so Hong Tao they can't even get out of the airport, of course, there is nothing to say, after 2 days of travel, finally on the 11th successfully arrived at Dar es Salaam Airport.

Dares Salaam, the capital of the United Republic of Tanzania, is a coastal city located on the eastern coast of the African continent, with the islands of Madagascar to the southwest.

After Hong Tao and the others got off the plane, they did not go through the immigration formalities first, but were taken to a separate two-story building next to the airport by the escort of the Nathan company, and then snapped, snapped, snapped, three shots per person, one to prevent yellow fever, one to prevent malaria and encephalopathy, and one to prevent cholera.

After these three injections, these three Chinese tourists, including Hong Tao, really experienced the mystery of the African continent, this Nima didn't even go into the customs, first pricked three times, and it was not free, no one almost had to pay 80 US dollars for vaccines.

"Hong Tao, I'm a little drumming in my heart, you said that if there is no plague epidemic, why do you have to get vaccinated, are we not coming at the right time, or you can discuss with that Nathan company again, take our contract back a little, I have lost all the expenses, let's come back after this plague passes, what do you say?" Brother Liu. The fat boss almost collapsed on the chair after three stitches, and he couldn't even see a little blood on his fat face. (To be continued......)
