Chapter 176: Hunting Crocodiles

The Thunderbolt driven by Wang Cheng has been modified, the rear seats have been removed, and the trunk of the grown car is specially used to load prey, and Li Xiang is sitting in the passenger seat, holding a Remington hunting gun in his arms. But apparently Li Xiang had little interest in being addicted to guns, and the bullets were not loaded at all. Along the way, he didn't fiddle with the gun, but was more interested in this thunder car that could climb mountains and go into the water, and kept chanting: "Unbelievable, why do you say that foreigners' imagination is so rich, the yacht is equipped with wheels, and it is everywhere on land and in the water... No, you asked me to dismantle the car and take a look at it, my hands are itchy, my hands are really itchy. ”

After stopping for a while, Li Xiang asked again: "Ah Cheng, how much is this car, do you think there will be a market in China?" ”

Wang Cheng shook his head: "I once met a captain who told me: The rivers, lakes and seas in China are contracted out, how can you be allowed to go into the water casually?" So I think that such a car is useless at home, only at the edge of this Australian swamp is somewhat useful".

Li Xiang knocked on the frame of the car: "Cut, the heavy rain in Yanjing tells us: it is nothing to have a house and a car in these years, and only a boat is called a real ox fork." Drive a car that can dive, and I'm no longer afraid that Yanjing won't repair the sewer...... "Well, the frame of your car is titanium steel, well, no, it should be carbon fiber, only with lightweight materials, the whole vehicle can float on the water." I'm afraid this car isn't cheap, right? ”

Wang Cheng found a random place to park, he turned on the radio signal jammer, looked up at the sky covered by tree branches, took out half of the Argentine currency from his arms, and handed it to Li Xiang with a gloved hand: "I just told you about the old captain - you go to Fujian, take this coin to find the captain, take three, containers...... Don't you need to increase your capital, help me secretly dispose of the goods inside, and you will have money. ”

Li Xiang didn't take the half of the money: "What, how did you fix it, like an underground party joint, what kind of goods are in the container?" ”

"A batch of blister copper ingots, about 400 tusks, and some fragments of African gemstones, when dealing with these goods, you should sell them piecemeal, don't sell them too intensively."

The swamp was too quiet, and the "bow hunt" demanded absolute silence. Klossu, who was parking not far away, put out the fire, and in the silence, Wang Cheng's words spread far away, and when Jian Jian heard Wang Cheng's words, he immediately turned around and interjected: "The ivory and gems belong to me, I met a lot of rich people this time, and sold the ivory to them, the whole root, only they can eat it." ”

Wang Cheng raised his voice slightly, so that Jian Jian could also hear: "Ivory is not in a hurry to sell." In recent years, the ban on hunting has become stricter and stricter around the world, and the price of this thing will only get higher and higher. I'm going to sell the broken ones first, and I'm going to leave two hundred tusks for the collection, and I'm going to sell them at the current price, and I'm not in a hurry to sell them, and if it's not for the fact that you're going to increase your capital and lack money, I don't want to sell even one. ”

This is a bit untrue, in fact, if you really want to sell one, it will be too big, and it is possible that in the end, Wang Cheng will not be able to keep even one.

Wang Cheng said this just to raise prices, to be honest, he only plans to leave twenty or thirty roots, twenty or thirty tusks are not large, this amount can be placed in a room, stored inside and locked the door, and then can wait for it to slowly increase in value Of course, even if there are twenty or thirty left, it is also a very thief thing.

"I still think it's not good to leave too much of this thing," he said concisely, "as long as the sale starts, the news will spread, and we won't be able to hide the news that we have the goods at that time." Heck, selling too much at once will have too much impact, and it may make the market price of ivory bigger..."

"I'll also make a difference in this matter" Li Xiang hurriedly replied: "You are worried about increasing my capital, so you took out your collection, and I will definitely help you sell it at a good priceβ€”I will reimburse those mutilated, half-cut ivory...... That's the priceβ€”"

"The international market price is $20,000 each, which is the first-hand price: there are some costs for shipping things to China, and the reserve price is at least tripled. In addition, domestic luxury goods are at least three times higher than those of the international market, so the base price should be more than $80,000 per stick. As long as it's above this price, I'll sell.

However, everyone in China also knows that if the price of something is too high, some people may feel that they have suffered a loss, and if they buy it, they will report you when they turn around, so it is better to limit a maximum price: 100,000 US dollars. ”

"This price is too cheap" succinctly interjected: "The whole ivory is only sold for more than 10,000 yuan, and it is cheap to double the price and sell it." ”

"We just want to make people feel that they are taking advantage, so he will only steal the fun and forget to raise his sister,... Eighteen, I'll keep a 'Eighteen Arhats', and the rest will be sold" Wang Cheng made a decision: "Don't tell anyone that I still have the tail goods left behind when the time comes, and sell them quietly, after all, it is a contraband." ”

Jian Jian thought for a moment and interjected: "I think you are being too careful, as far as I know, the annual trade in prohibited hunting in Southeast Asia is more than one dollar, of which the ivory trade accounts for at least a quarter, or even a fifth. So once this thing is sold, we won't be afraid, what we're afraid of is that someone used the reason of checking the smuggling to eat black before. Don't worry, I'll sell it to you safely. ”

Concisely felt that this matter was not a big deal, she looked left and right, turned her head to Klossu, and asked affectionately, "Klossu, didn't you say that you came to hunt?" Why is it quiet here, there is no prey, and if you speak loudly, you can spread for two or three miles, and you can't see anything alive. ”

Li Xiang also responded lazily, and Krosu kissed Jian Jian fiercely, but she didn't answer. Wang Cheng pointed to the quagmire not far awayβ€”there were sections of rotten wood floating in those quagmire, and they emitted a foul smell: "See? Do you know why there is no animal activity here, because this is the famous 'Crocodile Pool', have you seen the Warner movie? ”

Jian Jian raised her eyes to look, and as soon as she missed, the small-caliber rifle gun in her hand fell to the seat, and she hurriedly went over to pick up the gun, making a lot of noise. Li Xiang was a little better, his gun didn't take off his hand, but only then did he remember to load the gun, holding a box of bullets, his hands trembled, and he accidentally pinched the carton containing bullets, scattering bullets all over the car... In the panic and busyness, Jian Jian and Li Xiang did not speak, as if they were afraid that they would be discovered by the crocodile if they were breathing heavily.

The bullets clanged on the seat, and the hectic noise alarmed the rotten wood in the quagmire, and several pieces of rotten wood slowly drifted towards the shore and towards the part where the sound came from, Krosu immediately started the car, and the car moved slowly and quietly, out of this water tank, Wang Cheng followed closely, and the two cars fled.

The two cars didn't move far, and then Li Xiang finished loading the bullets and asked timidly: "Aren't you going hunting, why are you leaving?" ”

Wang Cheng pointed to the rifle in Li Xiang's hand: "You didn't open the insurance...... Okay, let's not open it so it's safe. ”

At this time, Klossu asked from afar: "Now?" ”

Wang Cheng shook his head and replied: "Forget it, look at the two of them, they are pale, do it now, and then they are afraid that they will faint." ”

Turning around, Wang Cheng explained to Li Xiang that his hunting license with Klosu cost about $20,000 each. May and June are the same as winter in Australia, when the marshes are more desolate and food is scarce, so the Australian political axe allows international hunting enthusiasts to hunt during this period to maintain ecological balance.

There are strict rules on hunting in the swamps, such as Australian native animals and endemic animals, and it is basically strictly forbidden to hunt them except for kangaroos and crocodiles. And some exotic animals are also limited to hunting...... The only thing that is not limited is the rabbit, and there is a reward for hunting rabbits.

Hunters entering the Cape York Marsh are often asked to kill a few crocodiles – Australia's endemic saltwater crocodiles – to reduce the danger to residents. The desolation of Cape York lies in the fact that there are so many crocodiles here that humans cannot survive, and today Wang Cheng and Krosu have the task of hunting crocodiles, but because of the existence of Jian Jian and Li Xiang, they decided to go back and do it again, so as not to scare the two guests.

The car continued to move forward, and finally found a slightly higher place, Wang Cheng and Krosu parked the car and beckoned the other two to come down. The four people in this group were wearing Marine Corps uniforms, high military boots, and the cuffs of their trouser legs were tightly tied, and when they got out of the car, Wang Cheng also handed over a hood, and Li Xiang complained while taking the hood: "Is this necessary?" In this humid and stuffy environment, as for making yourself like a special soldier? ”

Wang Cheng tilted his head and looked at Li Xiang for a long time, and said slowly with a joking expression: "There are more poisonous snakes here, and the forest will become denser and denser in a while, and if you are not careful, you will let the branches hang on your hair, and there is also a highly poisonous spider called 'Black Widow' in Australia, which often falls into people's collars, and you have to lie down when you bite a buffalo, so you should take it safer." ”

Li Xiang shrank his neck in fright, and quickly put the hood on his head.

Later, with Klosu as the lead, Jian Jian stood parallel to Li Xiang, Wang Cheng was posted, at this time Jian Jian Qiang was still not loaded, Li Xiang's bullet was loaded, but the safety was not opened. Klossu, who walked in the front, was dressed in black, wearing ceramic body armor, carrying an arrow bag on his shoulder, holding a longbow in his hand, and his thighs were like the heroines of the Tomb Raider, with two pistols on one left and one on the right, a ten-powerful Magnum hunting pistol on his right leg, and an ordinary Grug in his left hand.

Wang Cheng, who walked at the end, was also dressed up, and he reminded Li Xiang and Jian Jian as he walked: "You two walk side by side, the muzzles of the guns are rushing to the ground, squat down first in case of emergency, and then everything will be dealt with by the two of us...... Of course, hitting other hunters is also a disaster. ”

There was a sound of running water in front of him, Klosu pulled out an arrow from behind his shoulder and put it on the bow, staring at his feet and walking forward, Wang Cheng at the end of the team was also staring at his feet, Li Xiang and Jian watched for a long time, I don't know what these two people are looking at, but they saw that the two people in front and behind were walking very lightly, and they had already put on a defensive posture, they didn't dare to speak, so they had to walk silently.

Klossu stopped, she made a few gestures from behind, Wang Cheng silently beckoned the two to follow, Klossu hid in a bunch of bushes, the three of them walked to the bushes and saw a beautiful Jingchen not far away...
