From arms dealer to king of war

As soon as Qiao Jia walked into the restaurant and sat down, he saw the baby elephant Danbao standing outside the door and yelling to him.

In the empty restaurant, except for one chef who was busy, there was also the 'Medical Bird' Kenny Rogers sitting in the corner eating.

Seeing Danbao standing at the door and not coming in, Qiao Jia didn't know the reason. He laughed, turned around and pretended that he didn't see Danbao, and then asked the chef to bring him a lunch.

When Danbao saw that Qiao Jia was ignoring him, he jumped angrily and pushed his feet against Nice's lower back, signaling for her to go in and drag Qiao Jia out.

Nice curiously pulled Danbao's nose and took two steps, and found that he was unwilling to take a step into the restaurant, so she stopped eating. Instead, she rubbed the angry Danbao's head comfortingly, and then led her I followed the groaning Danbao to the direction of the warehouse and found a bunch of green bananas for him to try to eat something other than milk.

Qiao Jia took advantage of the black chef to bring him food and asked, "What's going on here?"

The black chef is a local and only speaks the local Sango language. Without a translator, Qiao Jia talked to him like a chicken talking to a duck. After talking and making gestures for a long time, the cook barely understood what Qiao Jia meant. , and then tried to explain it to him in more complex sign language.

Qiao Jia watched for a long time but didn't understand. In the end, he had to pay a dollar to the enthusiastic cook and sent him back to the kitchen.

The 'Medical Bird' who had been sitting in the corner eating looked at Qiao Jia's depressed look. He said in a slightly hoarse voice: "It's the dried excrement of a lion. The locals will use this kind of thing to drive away those curious people." animal.

The restaurant is a favorite place for animals from the rescue center, so John sprinkled the place with lion excrement. "

After hearing this, Qiao Jia nodded to the 'Medical Bird' suddenly and said, "Thank you, I think I should sprinkle some in my bedroom, otherwise I will be driven crazy by that little guy sooner or later."

‘Medical Bird’ was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly and said: “Elephant cubs are curious and clingy animals, and being liked by them is sometimes a burden.

The best thing to do is to keep your distance and be patient. The best way to help them is to let them develop good habits as much as possible. "

Qiao Jia nodded in agreement, and just when he was about to express his gratitude, Dorian rushed into the restaurant, ordered a piece of food, sat down opposite Qiao Jia, and said, "Boss, why should we set off to catch the lion?" ?I prepared a camera, I have to film the whole process.

I saw the photos you took of Namor and Arthur. They must be the largest lions in the world. I will definitely take a photo with them after I capture them. "

Qiao Jia shook his head after hearing this and said: "Don't worry, we will take action when Freeman's death has fermented and when someone starts to pay attention to Namor and the gem on his head.

Everything must be done clearly so that the lion's life can be saved.

That is a living sign, and we must ensure that it is safe and sound. "

The 'Medical Bird' frowned when he heard Dorian yelling to catch the lion, but when he heard that Qiao Jia and the others were preparing to protect Namor, his attitude changed.

Listening to Qiao Jia happily bragging to Dorian about how Ayo wrestled with Arthur yesterday, the 'Medical Bird' hesitated for a moment, stood up, walked to their side, gestured, and said, "Can I sit down? ?”

Qiao Jia stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Sit anywhere, I like the atmosphere here, and I just want to find someone to chat with."

As he spoke, Qiao Jia pointed at Dorian and said, "This is the 'elephant', and my name is Jackal."

'Medical Officer Bird' heard that Qiao Jia just reported his code name. He was in a daze for a moment and then nodded and said: "My name is 'Medical Officer Bird', nice to meet you.

I would like to ask, what is the purpose of your coming here? "

Qiao Jia looked at the 'Medical Bird' with an inquiring look in his eyes and said with a smile: "I am planning to build a resort here so that people can have the opportunity to experience the authentic Chinese and African customs in a relatively comfortable environment."

After hearing this, the 'Medical Bird' frowned and said, "It's not necessary. If you are here for the diamond mine, then you are in the wrong place.

Namor's first activity area was near the swamp, where he and Arthur were born and raised. When he walked out of the swamp, he already had a black diamond on his forehead.

If you're expecting to find diamond mines in Namor's current territory, you're bound to be disappointed. "

Qiao Jia and Dorian looked at each other, then frowned at the 'Medical Bird' and said, "Why are you telling me this?"

The 'Medical Bird' was silent for a moment, shook his head and said: "Too many people have died in the northern part of Central Africa because of the Diamond. This park is the last piece of pure land in this country, and it should not be destroyed.

I was actually the first person to discover Namor and Arthur. If you just want to find diamonds, then going northwest and looking near the swamp is the right way to go.

But I advise you not to have too much hope, because the water system there is rich and full of quagmire, making it very difficult to mine. "

Qiao Jia smiled and said, "I don't know if it's my misunderstanding. I feel like you don't welcome me?"

The 'Medical Bird' nodded slightly and said: "Because I was once the same person as you, I know how such people think about problems, and I know what kind of damage such people will bring to this place.

Man, John and Ada are good people and you shouldn't drag them into this.

Destroying the life values ​​and ideals of good people will not do you any good. "

Qiao Jia did not feel that the slightly warning words of the 'Medical Bird' were a provocation, because this guy was obviously not a talkative person. He said so much more to protect John and his wife.

Qiao Jia thinks that John and his wife are good friends, but now a person jumps out with a slightly harsh tone and wants to protect his friends. It would be a bit mindless to get angry.

With a smile on his face, he said that he had listened to the warning of the 'Medical Bird'. Qiao Jia said with a smile: "I can guarantee that I am not here for the diamonds. I have never seen Namor before yesterday.

I came here to invest for my ideals. We are not very familiar with each other. I don’t want to talk to you about my problems, but I can guarantee that I have no ill intentions towards John and his wife.

In fact, we are discussing the merger and want to try to see if we can use another model to find a new way out for the animals in the rescue center that cannot be released. "

As he spoke, Qiao Jia spread his hands towards the strange-looking 'Medical Bird' and said: "You should spread the news you know, so that after I catch Namor and take down the gem to check, the grassland It’s quiet.”

After hearing this, the 'Medical Bird' said in disbelief: "What are you going to do with the diamond on Namor's forehead?"

Qiao Jia shrugged his shoulders and said: "It depends on whether it is worth it?

If it's not valuable, put it back in Namor's head. If it's valuable, give it to the Park Service, and then spread the word about what you just told me.

This is actually a good thing. Ndele is too poor, and the main reason for poverty is the lack of tourists.

The management office should simply let the news out, sell tickets and collect protection fees, and let tourists try their luck in the swamp area.

As long as they are prohibited from carrying guns, the apartment security guard can make enough money to support his family just by accompanying them camping and digging for diamonds. "

As he spoke, Qiao Jia felt that he had a business acumen. He took out a pen and paper and wrote on it a few times, and then made a 'business plan' while the 'Medical Bird' was stunned.

Seeing Antal, Ayo, and John and his wife all coming to the restaurant, Qiao Jia was a little excited and rushed to the door of the restaurant and greeted Nice loudly in the distance: "Come over for a meeting..."

'Medical Bird' felt that he had encountered a lunatic, but when the lunatic pulled him and asked him to introduce the origin of Namor, he still told it honestly, and then sat back like a primary school student. In situ...

He was also curious, what did this Chinese man want to do?

Qiao Jia dragged Danbao in, who had been calling outside the door, put its head on his lap, and then put his arms around its neck to tell him not to be afraid.

Then he looked at the curious crowd and said with a smile: "According to normal practice, my resort will lose money for at least the first five years, but now it's a little different!

The diamond mine can bring us enough customers..."

When John heard this, he shook his head and said: "This won't work. Once the diamond mine is exposed, it will not only be tourists, but also warlords.

Setaka in the south has been in confrontation with the government forces for many years, relying on the few diamond mines in its possession, and it is getting stronger and stronger.

No, absolutely not! "

Qiao Jia said nonchalantly: "That depends on how it works!

That Setaka is not a problem. If necessary, I can go talk to him. I am very good at persuading others to cooperate. "

As he spoke, Qiao Jia took out his mobile phone, shook it, and said: "I remember I once read a report that there is a park in the United States that is open to the public. As long as tourists pay a ticket, they can go in and look for diamonds.

If American parks can do it, why not Central African National Parks?

Finding diamonds is only a small probability event, but ticket revenue and security revenue are a long-term stable income. "

John is an American, so of course he knows about Diamond Park, so he asked curiously: "You want to learn about Diamond Park?"

Qiao Jia shook his head decisively and said: "Of course not, people who go to Diamond Park can carry their own tents and go camping, but we can't do that here.

We are here in Afika, and there are wild beasts everywhere. If you want to go in, you not only have to buy a ticket, but you also have to stay in our designated tent hotel.

Our customers are mainly middle class people who have money to travel and come to join in the fun. This kind of diamond travel should be casual.

Buying tickets is like buying a lottery ticket, attracting them to stay in a tent hotel for two days, just in case they pick up a diamond to offset the travel cost, no one will refuse, because they can also feel Afika there. style. "

When John heard this, he blinked and said, "Then how can you convince others that there are diamonds there?"

As John looked at Qiao Jia's smiling face, he said suddenly: "Namo!"

Qiao Jia gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "At first, I wanted to make everyone think that the gem on Namor's head was worthless, but now I don't think so...

We need to capture Namor and remove the gem.

Even if it is just a black stone, I will let the Park Service tell everyone that it is a top-notch black diamond, and then let the president of Central Africa hide it in the national vault. "

‘Medical Bird’ looked at ‘Business Wizard’ Qiao Jia like a ghost, and said in disbelief: “When those tourists are tired of the harsh environment in the swamp area, will they go to your resort to improve it?”

Qiao Jia said matter-of-factly: "We don't have any compulsory consumption items here..."
