Chapter 2 Employment
Sitting opposite Bei Yang was a white man wearing a peaked cap, and although he was sitting, he could still be seen to be very strong and strong.
Seeing that Bei Yang was a little choked by wine, the white man smiled: "Yang, you should drink more alcohol usually, otherwise, you will lose a large part of the fun in your life." ”
Wiping the remaining wine on his mouth, Bei Yang showed a mocking smile on his face: "And then like you, drink the money earned from running the boat into your stomach, throw it on the gambling table, and finally owe employees wages for several months?" ”
"Hey, hey, Yang, I rescued you from the river and took you in my boat......" the white man said with some dissatisfaction.
Bei Yang opened his mouth to interrupt him: "If it weren't for this, I would have thrown you into the river to feed the fish." ”
"It might be a little difficult to feed the fish, even if it's a crocodile, don't try to eat me." The white man shrugged.
"Jin Song!"
Just as the two were talking, a long-haired man came over: "A few of them are looking for a boat to go upstream, I said that it can't be in the rainy season, and they said that they are willing to pay 25,000 yuan!" ”
This long-haired man is also a crew member on the "Bloody Mary", and everyone calls him Ah Chuan.
Ah Chuan came over to say hello to Bei Yang, pulled over a stool, and sat down next to him.
Behind Ah Chuan, several people followed together, and Bei Yang looked at it, a black man, a white man, and two white women with good looks.
Although these people are different from the images in the movie, seeing this familiar dialogue and scene, Bei Yang is immediately sure that they are the expedition team that is going to find the blood orchid.
Seeing the white man opposite Bei Yang, the more mature white woman showed suspicion in her eyes: "Are you Jin Song?" ”
The name Jin Song obviously has Southeast Asian characteristics, not like a white name.
"The nicknames given by the locals, my name is Johnson, Bill Johnson, and Kim Song is an Indonesian accent problem." Bill explained, and then said, "If you just rent my boat, the price of 25,000 is enough, but if you want me to sail the boat, then the price needs to be increased to 50,000." ”
"Fifty thousand? You're drunk, aren't you? The mature white woman squealed, and when she saw Bill looking at him unkindly, the white woman shook her head, "You don't have to answer that question. ”
Then, the white woman turned to her companion next to her and said, "I don't think this person is reliable!" ”
After saying that, the white woman turned to leave.
At this moment, Bill spoke: "All right, miss, let's not talk nonsense, if you can find the boat, you are already on the river by now, and you have no choice but to come to me." My price is 50,000 yuan, if you don't accept it, please leave! “
"Well, you win!" The white woman turned around and spread her hands.
Then, the two parties agreed to meet at the dock tomorrow morning, and the four left the bar.
As soon as they left, Ah Chuan became excited: "Captain, you really have you, a few months before this trip to top us!" ”
Bill smiled, didn't say anything, and turned his head to look at Bei Yang: "Yang, see it, isn't this about to be rich!" Don't worry, when they give me the money, I'll give you your salary first. ”
"That's up to me to stop you before you get into the bar." Bei Yang rolled his eyes.
Bill laughed, not caring about Beiyang's words.
After staying at the bar for a while, Bei Yang and the others also returned to the ship, and they were going upstream tomorrow, and they didn't know how many days it would take to make a series of preparations, food, fuel, and everything else had to be prepared.
The next morning, instead of getting lighter, the rain in the sky became heavier, and during the rainy season in a tropical rainforest country like Indonesia, it rains almost every day, and the air is humid and muggy.
As soon as Bei Yang woke up, he felt sticky and uncomfortable, compared to the summer heat he had experienced before, it was nothing.
Walking out of the cabin, Bei Yang looked outside, the rain kept falling, causing countless ripples on the surface of the river, and the mist evaporated from the river, making the surroundings become foggy.
On the shore not far away, several cars were parked there, and several people kept moving things from the cars to the boat, and Bill and Achuan stood on the boat and watched, without the slightest intention of going down to help.
Of course, Bei Yang was not interested in going down to help, he walked to Bill's side: "There is so much mist on the river, the visibility is too poor, and it is not easy to walk on the boat now!" ”
"If the boat is easy to go, how can it be our turn to earn these 50,000 yuan! Rest assured, we don't know how many times we have walked through this river, we are very familiar with it, as long as we are careful, nothing will happen. Bill patted Beiyang on the shoulder.
Bei Yang just looked at the river and didn't say anything more.
It's the rainy season, no boat will go upstream, and Bei Yang doesn't have the money to buy or rent a boat, so if he wants to collect blood orchids, he must take this boat, otherwise, he will have to go through a large area of tropical rainforest, in that case, even he is vulnerable to danger.
After a while, another pickup truck drove up, pulling a lot of large boxes behind it.
Once the expedition had loaded everything onto the ship, Agawa set sail while Bill went to arrange accommodation for the expedition members.
There were a total of six people on the expedition on the ship, namely Michelle, a middle-aged black man, Kerr, a black guy, Jack, the team leader, Shan, a female researcher, Geer, a representative of the investment company, and the team doctor.
The propeller rotated rapidly, propelling the hull of the boat to break through the water and head upstream.
Aboard.
Jack spread out a map on the table, marking their destination this time, and Bei Yang stood beside him, his face impassive, but secretly gave orders to Vientiane.
"Vientiane, scan this map for a record!"
"Yes!"
As Bei Yang's personal assistant, Vientiane not only can shield the will of the world, but also has the function of a smart brain, and it is natural to scan and record a map.
Bei Yang did this mainly to prevent any accidents, so that he could go alone to find the Blood Orchid, rather than having to follow the expedition.
With his goal in mind, Bill began to map out a sailing route in his mind, and although Bill was secretly fond of drinking and gambling, he was very capable of doing it personally.
When Bill and Jack were discussing the sailing route, Kerr, a black boy, was also tapping on his laptop behind them, and with the help of a satellite navigation system and a lot of information, he quickly determined a route.
It's a pity that this route took too long, and as soon as it was proposed, it was vetoed, and the only effect was to let the black boy Kerr be happy there.
