Hearing what Huang Hai said,
He Liang also felt a bit uncertain.
He didn’t know whether the company had managed to handle the local tribe with that mysterious force, If they had, naturally everyone would be overjoyed; but if not, they would need to be cautious later on.
However, there shouldn’t be a big problem.
The company wouldn’t just throw them over here without good reason.
After finishing what was in his bowl, He Liang went to get some buns and porridge. He found that the pickled vegetables here were delicious, especially the hot porridge with soaked small hot peppers, which was sour and spicy, and very flavorful.
"Delicious, Brother Huang, it’s really good. Later on, if we pickle some vegetables at the mine, can you send us some of the pickling brine?" Chu Sheng said as he bit into a small red pepper, feeling as if his taste buds had exploded.
Then he took a sip of the slightly hot porridge.
At this moment,
Chu Sheng was conquered.
"Haha, I’m glad you like it. If you want to pickle anything, just come and take some from us any time," Huang Hai laughed heartily as he watched them devour their food, always delighted to have his homemade specialties praised.
This was still the pickling brine packaged from home during the delivery of domestic supplies.
Pickled vegetables,
are the best representation of hometown flavors.
After a short while,
employees from Wan Qing Mining rose and joined them.
People from the World Health Organization with some Africans who had come for treatment started arriving gradually.
The cafeteria suddenly became lively.
Hearing they were here for mining, everyone was very friendly; the Huaxia soldiers felt kinship, while the foreigners felt that they would have another place to freeload a meal in the future, having thoroughly experienced the hospitality of the Huaxia people.
...
After finishing breakfast,
they bid farewell to Huang Hai.
The convoy hit the road again.
By now, the sky had turned to a misty drizzle, a whole night of heavy rain making the morning air cool enough to need an extra coat. Yet everyone knew that once the clouds dispersed, the region would become hot and humid again.
This is Africa.
Most of Congo Gold is located between four degrees north and south of the equator, and this area lay near one degree south latitude. You can imagine how hot it got all year round, though it got easier once you got used to it, despite the challenge.
Fang Tie’s vehicle led the way.
The muddy road posed no challenge for these all-terrain vehicles. When it came to horsepower, diesel vehicles were still a little superior, and in the future all vehicles in the mining field would use diesel.
Half an hour later,
the convoy stopped for a break.
Fang Tie got out of his vehicle.
He Liang and Guan Songlin also walked over to him.
They now stood atop a highland.
Looking around,
the landscape spread out into a wide plain, studded only with small hills, while the rain continued to fall. Africa’s hot weather also meant lush vegetation; the plain was vibrant with greenery, and a wide river ran through it not far from them.
Such a beautiful sight.
Regrettably,
everyone knew,
once they started mining,
the local environment was bound to change.
Pointing to a basin in the distance, Fang Tie laughed, "That must be your mining site, right? The location is not bad, mostly flat land. But it looks like it has been heavily looted, full of pits everywhere."
No need for a telescope.
They could see the large pits all over the land with their own eyes.
Though described as large, that was relative; the area was obviously victim to small-scale illegal mining operations, just scratching the surface of the land with small pits.
"This is it, forty-three square kilometers—all bought by our company," Guan Songlin said excitedly, somewhat proudly, as this was the first time in his life managing such a large mining field on his own.
"Your company really has money," Fang Tie said admiringly.
"Heh, it’s alright," Guan Songlin laughed, unaware of exactly how much money the company had, but this time they definitely spent a lot. There was no doubt about that; this mining field was the largest one owned by the company in Congo Gold.
He didn’t know the cost,
but based on his experience,
It would not be less than five hundred million dollars.
It’s good to lean on a big tree for cool shade.
"Manager Guan, where will we be stationed?" asked He Liang.
He was only responsible for security and did not know about the planning of the Wan Qing mining field.
When he heard He Liang’s question,
Guan Songlin took out a blueprint from inside the vehicle, which was covered in a waterproof film, and unfolded it.
He Liang and Fang Tie noticed that it was a layout map.
The map had plans for every functional building in the entire living area of the mining field, the Office Building, Dormitory, Cafeteria, toilets, parking lot ... including a vegetable planting area. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
"This is the living area plan issued by the Headquarters. All the buildings adopt a pre-produced, Modularization design, which means we don’t need to lay bricks. Once the company ships the parts of the houses over here, we just assemble and weld them according to the blueprint.
Do you see every corner of those buildings? There are positioning coordinates. Every house has them. We just need to use positioning to find the locations and build according to the diagram," Guan Songlin was also seeing this for the first time.
However, one must say,
It was quite novel.
He Liang asked, "So what do we need to do?"
Guan Songlin explained, "Building houses won’t be done overnight, so for a short while we’ll stay in tents, which is our main task today. Tomorrow morning, you’ll need to go to Rwanda to meet the Convoy with materials.
As for the rest, we are responsible for preliminary Exploration, you’re responsible for patrolling, and for the actual housing construction, the company said they would send construction Workers and materials over without interfering with our work. We also need to lend a hand, but this isn’t mandatory."
He Liang was stunned.
Could it really be done this way?
Well.
Indeed, it could.
He Liang didn’t ask further.
Just then,
A group of Africans suddenly rushed out in front of the Convoy, hundreds of them, making woo-woo sounds that felt strange. Fang Tie immediately became alert. These people were unarmed, all empty-handed, especially the leader, who was smiling broadly.
He looked very friendly.
But on a big black face,
it always felt like there was a plot.
"Be careful, even though we’re here, sometimes they still like to take things," Fang Tie cautioned. Their peace force was not almighty; respect wasn’t given just like that.
Some Africans are used to taking, seeing you they come up all smiles asking what this is.
If you don’t give,
they might just get angry.
Fang Tie had heard and seen too much of this.
The others became tense, even Guan Songlin felt the same. The only one who was not anxious was He Liang. He had seen this kind of smile many times before, and it was always extremely sincere.
Seeing this smile.
He Liang was absolutely sure.
The company had already settled things with this Tribe.
They quickly approached the Convoy.
The leader was a middle-aged fat man wearing colorful clothes; he wasn’t skinny because they were not indigenous people from primordial forests who had to rely on hunting to survive.
The stout man quickly came forward.
Smilingly he said, "Friends from afar, hello, I’m Vail, the leader of the Tribe. Welcome to our Tribe, please come this way. We’ve already prepared a welcoming Banquet for you this noon."
Vail tried to squeeze out what he thought was the most affable smile.
Recalling the list of fines he was still carrying on his back,
he felt a tremor inside him.
Yet Huaxia hadn’t gone too far — there were no incidents of them eating meat while the Tribe could only lick the plates. Thus, the wealth that fell from the sky was dizzying for Vail though the rules nearly treated the miners like lords.
But for the sake of money,
Vail accepted it.
Their Tribe used to like causing trouble because they were previously poor, and resources were limited. They had to fight, and being merciless was the only way to evoke fear. But now, having enough to eat by just lying down, there was no need to show off or boast around.
Harmony brings wealth.
Vail was making an effort to adapt to this ’upturned’ life.
