Chapter 531: What a hospitable place
Zhu Yu can be sure that Ran Jie will not lie to himself, let alone unite with others to harm himself.
So he trusted Ran Jie's judgment.
Zhu Yu felt that he was still full of adventurous spirit in his bones. So when Ran Jie called, his heart was ready to move again.
In fact, in all fairness, it's good to stay here in New York, look at your property every day, and live a sweet life with Joanna.
Such a life was once his dream.
But now that he has money and the conditions to live such a life, he is not willing to live a dull life.
After talking to Cathy and Joanna about this, Zhu Yu took a plane to return to Huaxia first.
I reversed the plane twice and came to the south of the new province, then took a car to Ta County, and then turned to the country.
When I went abroad, I finally saw Hu Guanghui and Ran Jie waiting for me over there.
"Mr. Zhu, you are really moving quickly." Hu Guanghui sighed.
"Hello owner! Qin Fei and Da Long are now on the tribe's side. Ran Jie opened the car door for Zhu Yu and said, "We have a good relationship with the tribe. Dalong's idea was to see if he could do something else. β
Zhu Yu got into the car, and it was a local who drove it.
Hu Guanghui sat in front, and Ran Jie sat next to Zhu Yu to introduce the situation.
"We met with the tribe when we came over, and then we went to the base where the Lighthouse Force had stayed.
The base is very large, and the supplies left behind have basically been transported away and sold out.
Looking at the size of the base, there must have been at least 500 people stationed at that time.
However, after inspection, we found that it was a little strange, it did not look like a combat unit left, but rather an engineering unit.
Judging from the traces left, there should be a lot of mining equipment here, and there should be a lot of ore smelting.
But they should have been transported or hidden. β
"Did you find it nearby?" Zhu Yu asked.
"There are a lot of ravines nearby." Ran Jie took out his mobile phone and said while showing Zhu Yu the photos there, "We searched in the nearby mountains, and there are many traces of their activities.
But there are too many caves, some of which are left over from the original, and some of which were newly dug later. There are also many traces of ground breaking that have been destroyed.
If it needs to be started, the amount of work is too large, so there is nothing to be gained so far. β
When Ran Jie said this, his tone was a little lost, he had worked hard for so long recently, and he didn't find anything, which was really a slap in the face.
After all, this was the first time they left Zhu Yu and participated in the treasure hunt independently. But nothing was found. I have to ask Zhu Yu for help, and the blow to my self-confidence is quite serious.
"Actually, Mr. Ran, they did a good job." At this time, Hu Guanghui interjected, "We have actually explored the previous base, the facilities in the base, and the nearby terrain.
But after Mr. Ran's inspection, we found that there were so many details that we had not paid attention to. Sure enough, it's still your profession. β
Ran Jie was a little embarrassed and smiled.
Finally said:
"Let's take a look when we get to the place."
Hassan's tribe is not very close to the border.
The car was an off-road vehicle, and along the way it first took the asphalt road, then through the gravel dirt road, and finally went directly to the mountain road in the mountains.
The road was bumpy and dusty. Farmland can occasionally be seen on both sides.
"It used to be a forbidden plant." Hu Guanghui pointed out the window and said, "Now we have basically grown grain. Although the old tower has done a little too much in some aspects, the change in this aspect in the tribe is still quite large. β
Zhu Yu had also heard that those forbidden things had been cultivated here for quite some time.
So much so that it even became one of the world's three major drug producing areas for a time.
It's just that later due to various factors, it slowly changed.
Occasionally, people can be seen working in the fields. There are also people grazing cattle in the mountains. It's just that the climate here is quite arid, the vegetation on the mountains is very sparse, and occasionally you can see some buildings, which are also low sheepfolds or dilapidated adobe houses.
There is very little green that can be seen on the eye, and the earthy yellow hue gives people a very desolate feeling.
The car drove for several hours in the mountains, and the lunch of several people was also hastily solved in the car.
As the sun was about to set, they came to a village in the mountains.
Before they arrived at the entrance of the village, a group of people had already come out to greet them, and finally saw Qin Fei and Cao Dalong in the crowd.
"The two in front, one is the tribe's elder Kaman, and the other is Hassan, who often deals with us."
When he got out of the car, Hu Guanghui quietly introduced Zhu Yu.
"Welcome Mr. Zhu to our place!" Hassan, who was far away, stretched out his hands and greeted warmly.
Zhu Yu and Hassan hugged and shook hands with Kaman.
He could sense that the tribal elder Kaman and the others were not as enthusiastic as Hassan.
Just think about it and you'll understand.
Hu Guanghui came over and didn't get things done, and Ran Jie and the three of them came over and didn't get things done.
These two failures are still a bit of a blow to the enthusiasm of the locals.
They were naturally suspicious of Zhu Yu, who came alone.
Looking at the past, it is more of a large village than a tribe.
Visually, this village can live two to three hundred households.
"There are three other small villages in the vicinity that also belong to this tribe." Hu Guanghui introduced to Zhu Yu, "The population of the entire tribe is about 3,000 people. β
The village is full of adobe houses. Some trees were planted on both sides of the road, so that you could finally see some green in your eyes. There are some cultivated fields nearby, where wheat and other crops are grown.
There is a ravine to the north of the village, and in the ravine there is a small river that has not completely broken off. The river isn't much, but it's the lifeblood of the whole village.
As a group of people walked towards the village, there were villagers in the bungalows on both sides looking at them curiously.
The children were barefoot, their faces tanned, and their eyes were full of curiosity.
The women were so tightly wrapped that some of them didn't even show their eyes.
"It is the custom of the people here not to show a woman's skin." Ran Jie whispered.
Led by Hassan and Elder Kaman, they came to a relatively intact courtyard in the village.
In the yard, Zhu Yu could still see some machinery that he didn't know what to do.
Some of these things are rusty, and they are sitting there.
"These are the things that came back from that base. We didn't know what to do with it, but it was a waste to put it there, so we pulled it back. β
Hassan noticed where Zhu Yu's eyes could see, and explained.
Zhu Yu glanced around, this compound is relatively large, with more than 20 rooms, and there are many people in it now.
And many people directly carry guns on their backs - AK 47, which is the most produced and magically modified automatic weapon in the world.
There are also a few that use M16, and there are some other weapons of various kinds, and Zhu Yu even saw the Bayi bar.
These people are used to carrying guns, and Zhu Yu doesn't care, these things can be seen on the Internet, and he has expected them when he comes.
Dinner was eaten in the big yard. Although the village was not wealthy, they still tried their best to provide Zhu Yu with a relatively hearty dinner.
"Mr. Zhu, I know that there are abundant materials in Huaxia, and you have seen the world." During the meal, Hassan said apologetically:
"As you can see here, food is not enough to fully meet my needs, and if it weren't for me doing some business with the outside world, I wouldn't be able to make ends meet.
So, that's all I can entertain you. I hope you don't mind ......."
"No, no, no, I'm satisfied." Zhu Yu put down the mutton in his hand and said, "I feel your sincerity, and I will do my best to cooperate with the village and make money together." β
Zhu Yu's words were translated by Hu Guanghui, and whether it was Kaman, Hassan, or the rest of the village, they were all very happy.
They could hear that Zhu Yu was talking to them about cooperation, not helpβthere was a big difference.
"I just said, our boss is here, you will definitely be satisfied!" Cao Dalong whispered to Hu Guanghui.
Kaman and the rest of the village didn't feel it so strongly.
But in the past, the people from the old lighthouse came and met with the people of the tribe. Their expressions of being on top of the mountains and rescuing the tribesmen made the elders very unhappy.
It's true that they're poor, and it's true that they want to improve their lives, but they don't want to do it all by losing their dignity.
But in order to live a good life, they did not choose confrontation.
Unexpectedly, the high-flying lighthouse army did not bring them a good life, and even most of the things they promised did not do it!
Later, the old lighthouse left, and the old tower decided to try to do business with Huaxia.
These tribal areas are remote, and there are no special products that can be taken out, so I can't feel the enthusiasm of Chinese netizens.
Now that Zhu Yu and they are here, Zhu Yu's identity is not ordinary, he can sit down like this, eat the food provided by the tribe without disgust at all, and can talk about cooperation with the people in the tribe as an equal, this attitude alone is much stronger than those in the previous lighthouse!
The elders felt so, and Hassan felt it even more deeply.
He is a man who has stepped out of the tribe and seen the wide world outside.
He knew the existence represented by Zhu Yu's identity as a billionaire.
Such a person, if placed in the Western world, would not have been able to come to them.
He's coming. And it was with sincerity and cooperation.
Even if it's for the things in that lighthouse base, at least I'll come here in person.
Hassan thought to himself that he must let the tribe hold on to this big tree - even if it costs a little, as long as he can hold on to this big tree, with Zhu Yu's financial resources and influence, he will definitely be able to attract more Chinese businessmen to come over.
Then the good days of the tribesmen will come!
Hassan's little abacus played very loudly, and Zhu Yu's eyes became more friendly and eager.
Zhu Yu had dinner here, and was taken over by Ran Jie and them to rest.
The resting place is in this big courtyard. Outside the courtyard and on the courtyard walls, there were people standing guard with guns.
θ‘Guanghui says:
"It's better now. In the past, the night sentry in the village would be released for hundreds of meters, and there were quite a few. At that time, every household had a gun, loaded in case someone came to attack......"
There is no electricity in the village, but there are some solar panels in the big yard, and if you look at the words on it, you will know that it is from Huaxia.
Zhu Yu guessed that it should have been brought over by Hassan when he was doing business.
"Boss, this is the room you are staying in. This was cleaned up by Elder Hassan today. Ran Jie said, "Although there are no entertainment facilities here, it is quiet at night and you can sleep well." β
"Equip you with weapons too?" Zhu Yu Tianyan swept to the side of Ran Jie, and there was also a half-used automatic rifle in their room, and asked.
"Well, the location of that base is relatively far away, and faces like ours tend to attract the attention of some strangers." "So they equipped us with guns as well." β
Zhu Yu nodded, it seems that the sincerity in the tribe is really sufficient.
Nothing happened overnight.
Early the next morning, before Zhu Yu got up, he heard someone knocking on the door.
He thought it was Ran Jie, but he didn't open his eyes, but when he opened it, it turned out to be a veiled girl.
The girl was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a slender figure, blinking her big eyes, looking at Zhu Yu curiously and with some apprehension.
The girl was holding a basin in her hand, which contained water, and there was a towel on the side, and Zhu Yu immediately understood that she was going to wait for her to wash her face.
Although there is a river behind the village, there is not much water, and water is still more precious in the tribe.
It seems that the tribe still attaches great importance to itself.
Zhu Yu was just about to wave his hand to refuse the girl's service, when Hu Guanghui appeared next to him, he pointed to the girl and said to Zhu Yu:
"Mr. Zhu, this girl's name is Jenrona, and she is the most beautiful girl in the village. She has been sent by the elders of the village to serve you, and if you refuse, she may be misunderstood for not serving well, and I am afraid that she will be stoned to death. β
Zhu Yu thought to himself, is there such a thing?
However, he didn't say much and beckoned Jenrona in.
Zhen Luona didn't say a word, and after coming in, she served Zhu Yu to wash his face, helped him squeeze toothpaste, and cleaned up the bed.
Breakfast was relatively simple, and Zhu Yu remembered the Zhaikou milk tea powder he bought when he returned to Xinxing, so he took it out and distributed it for everyone to brew and drink.
After breakfast, Zhu Yu said to Elder Hassan:
"When can I go see that base?"
"Since Mr. Zhu is here, why don't you go around first and get familiar with this place?" Hassan didn't expect Zhu Yu to work as soon as he came, and he was a little surprised, "We also have some monuments near here. It's not famous, but it also has our traditional characteristics. β
As soon as he talked about the monuments, Zhu Yu thought of the things that had been destroyed by the old tower, so he shook his head and said:
"No, I'm here to solve the problem. So I want to work as soon as possible, so that I can have peace of mind. β
Zhu Yu was able to get into work as soon as possible, and Hassan was naturally happy, so they found two cars, which were taken by Hassan and went to the base.
"The cars in the village are all from the base." In the car, Hassan did not shy away from saying at all, "Although the lighthouse troops have done a lot of bad things with us, the things left behind are good, but they are too fuel-intensive." β
The roads here are too poor, and the supply of supplies is not easy, so Hassan said so.
The base was far away from the village, and when they arrived, it was almost noon.
The base was built in a relatively flat part of the valley, with bunker observation points built on high ground around it, and a collapsed steel-framed watchtower.
The site is at least the size of three football fields, and the reinforced concrete buildings look very sturdy. At a glance, you can basically tell which are where people live and where are garages and other buildings.
At this time, all the doors of the base were open, the doors had disappeared, and there was hardly anything inside.
Anything that was useful was taken away. Even if you can't see if it's useful, like those things in the big courtyard of the village, they have been dragged away.
Zhu Yu glanced down from the height to the west of the base. There was a garbage dump on the north side of the base, where a pile of what appeared to be mineral waste caught Zhu Yu's attention.
"Drive there, I'll see." Zhu Yu pointed to the position.
Hassan was a little strange, Zhu Yu came to the outside of the base, didn't look at the base, went to see the garbage. What's there to see there?
When he arrived near the pile of slag, Zhu Yu got out of the car, walked to him, and picked up a piece of ore to observe.
"Mr. Zhu, have you found anything?" Hassan asked, remembering Elder Carman's words after dinner last night.
"This Mr. Zhu is a little young, can you find those things?"
Kaman's worries, Hassan could understand.
The elders of the village are all people who have many years of experience in mountain life and stand out in the village.
A young man of Zhu Yu's age is the main force of labor in the village, but he is not taken seriously - he is still in the stage of being educated.
After all, in addition to their greater strength and energy, they are not as good as the elderly in terms of technology, experience, insight or experience.
Such a person is not able to take on great responsibilities.
But the people invited by Hu Guanghui are all so old, can they do it?
You know, it really takes experience to find something in the mountains.
Hassan and Hu Guanghui have a good relationship, so naturally they will not speak ill of Hu Guanghui. Since Hu Guanghui insisted on inviting Zhu Yu to cooperate, he naturally had his own way.
On the surface, Hassan firmly supports Zhu Yu in this matter, but in fact, he is also under pressure.
If Zhu Yu and the others can't make any achievements, then although he won't lose his position as an elder, he will at least be subject to some restrictions.
Therefore, he was naturally very concerned about Zhu Yu's actions.
Zhu Yu picked up a piece of slag and asked these people around:
"Do you know what kind of slag this is?"
Everyone shook their heads. No one is an expert in this area.
Hassan asked:
"Mr. Zhu, do you know what mine it is?"
Zhu Yu threw away the slag, clapped his hands, and said lightly:
"Gold Mine."
"What?"
"How is that possible?"
