The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer
Chapter 1758: awkward
Except for Zhang Nan, this freak, time never stops, let alone goes backwards, and it has always been an unstoppable forward.
The main supporting roles of "Titanic" continue to be in place, and the actors from China also arrived in Los Angeles in August, and the shooting on the ship is getting better.
Zhang Nan has been spending no time on the big boat, and left Los Angeles at the end of July. Now in the summer, he has been playing wildly in New Zealand and Australia with his children in the southern hemisphere for more than half a month.
avoid the summer heat.
At the end of August, I went to Peru and Chile again. This was a serious matter. I inspected the mining production of the group in South America. The two proprietresses were too busy and not free. By the way, it was not a problem that their men were too idle, so they were given points. On such a small task.
Zhang Nan also felt that she was a bit too unsatisfied, and going to the Andes highlands again was a contribution to the family.
Originally, I was going to Mongolia. The production capacity of two super mines, including the Oyu Tolgoi copper-gold mine, was rapidly expanding, but Zhang Nan played a rogue.
He told the two housekeepers: "Now the Oyu Tolgoi place exceeds 40 degrees Celsius in the daytime. If there is hot wind, the ordinary temperature thermometer will even burst!
It's hot in the afternoon, and someone can freeze to death by accident at night. If I go here, it will be someone who does it back...
can't die! "
can't be beaten to death, let alone go.
I am from the south of the Yangtze River who is accustomed to the heat and humidity of nearly 40 degrees in summer for a long time, but the past seven or eight years have been too comfortable, and I would find a place to escape the heat in summer.
I'm lazy, become more afraid of heat, and hate the feeling of sweating for a long time.
However, there are exceptions to everything.
On September 18th, Zhang Nan woke up from a huge hardwood bed.
Pulled the big silk pillow, looked at Madhuri Dixit who was still sleeping on his side.
The room is tall and big, and a small amount of sunlight penetrates into the room from the floor-to-ceiling curtains in the southeast: The whole room reveals a taste of the South Asian subcontinent, which makes Zhang Nan feel a little weird.
found the watch on the bedside table and glanced at it. It was less than six o'clock, but he didn't have the desire to get back to sleep.
The room is very cool, up to twenty-two or three degrees. This is equipped with a large ventilated centrally controlled air conditioner, and there is no smell of stuffiness after a night.
didn't wake up Martha beside her, got out of bed gently, and put herself in a collarless cotton t-shirt.
terrazzo floor, slippers are placed on a pure wool carpet next to the bed.
The room is really nice, so that when you get out of bed, the soles of your feet will not be agitated by the temperature of the floor.
went to the bathroom to brush his teeth, washed his face casually, and was too lazy to wear his beard, so he combed his hair a few times.
Back to the bedroom, the beauty is still asleep.
walked to the curtains softly and opened the double curtains slightly. Outside the window is a huge garden!
The room is on the third floor. The house is in a huge, traditional English garden, which is on a terrace twenty to thirty meters above the distant land.
At a glance, the garden is surrounded by woods, and there are already people working in the garden; there are manor outbuildings in and on both sides of the woods, and farmland further away.
There is a big river about three or four kilometers to the east, and a small cargo ship is passing by the river.
That is the Taputi River. There are highways on the banks of the river. There are bridges a few kilometers away from the east, upstream and downstream. A large city on the other side of the river is gradually waking up in the morning light.
Open the window, the temperature of the outside air is similar to that in the bedroom, with a bit of grass and woods, which smells nice.
This is India, Gujarat in the west, and across the river is Surat, not far from the mouth of the Taputi River. It is an ancient, backward and modern industrial civilization, a mixture of poverty and wealth.
As for the luxurious manor where Zhang Nan’s club is located, it belongs to his friend and partner Manu Jain. It was the residence of the local king half a century ago.
British-style architecture, this Tuwang family is rather sad, not as successful as the Valmar family's transformation and decline.
The manor was sold decades ago. It was bought by the Jain family a few years ago. After modernization, renovation and expansion, it became an industry and foothold in Surat as the new owner of the Jain family, Manu.
Surat, in India is a diamond processing center more important than Mumbai: in the entire city and surrounding villages and towns, there are hundreds of thousands of people engaged in the diamond processing industry!
Last year, India cut and polished more than 500 million diamonds, which means that out of every 10 diamonds in the world, about 9 diamonds were processed in India.
The city of Surat across the river has processed most of the 500 million diamonds, a very exaggerated number!
India, the zero-tariff policy on the import of rough diamonds has been removed. In recent years, import spending has only accounted for 25% of exports, and the Jain family and their married families account for the vast majority of the share.
Excluding various expenses, the annual net profit of the Indian diamond processing industry is calculated in "billion U.S. dollars", and the Manu family alone made almost one billion U.S. dollars last year!
One billion, and the business of Zhang Nan’s family is incomparable, but in India, Manu’s family is already among the top rich, and his family has also successfully ranked among the richest families, no worse than his steel king’s family. .
This time Zhang Nan was invited to Surat. First, he brought his baby daughter to see one of the most lively elephant festival celebrations in India. He also discussed the quota of rough diamonds with Jain and his married family.
Mumbai also celebrates Elephant God Festival, but the atmosphere is said to be less traditional and grand than Surat, and here comes it.
Today is the third day of arrival in Surat, and it is also the last and busiest day of the Elephant God Festival.
Let’s talk about business after watching the excitement. Yesterday, on the city street across the river, Zhang Nan, who was watching the excitement upstairs, was a little worried about whether the crowds of huge "elephant gods" would overwhelm the houses on both sides of the street. Lose!
There are so many people, super crowd, lively and extremely lively. Those Indians still sing, dance and sprinkle colorful flour all the way, and the festive atmosphere is so hot!
is the brother-in-law Xiang Weirong who came to see the excitement together and said: "If you light a cigarette below, the whole street will probably be blown up!"
Fortunately, the flour did not turn into a bomb in the end. I watched the excitement from above, and did not fall into the embarrassment of "There is no good in the crowd".
The city is too noisy, dirty, and crowded. The river is much more comfortable and the environment is much better.
According to Jain, in the future, the wealthy people in Surat City will probably live on the river side, and the new city will be built.
To the west of the manor and the lower reaches of the river, a fully enclosed high-rise residential area has been developed. Many wealthy people who have made their fortune in diamond-related industries yearn for a western lifestyle and start to hate the crowded and terrible living environment in the city on the other side of the river.
Rats scurry around, there are flies and mosquitoes everywhere, there is so much **** on the street, not to mention the terrible sanitation facilities in the city.
That is the status quo of India's largest diamond processing capital.
Different from the other side, the environment of Jia Yin's manor is very good, and even the flies, mosquitoes and mice are barely seen.
Good hygiene is one aspect. After arriving here the day before yesterday, Zhang Nan found that a lot of laurel, nasturtium, and mint were planted in the garden and nearby. It is strange that flies and mice would like it here.
I stood in front of the window for a meeting and saw Xiang Weirong and some of his bodyguards, who were running in the driveway of the garden.
It's the rainy season. There are thunderstorms here in the afternoon, and the hottest temperature is only 30 to zero. It will be a little sultry, but it is not violent.
As for the early morning, it is twenty-three or four-degree outside, and there is still a little breeze, which is quite cool and suitable for morning exercises.
did not wake up Masha, put on sports beach pants, put on jogging shoes, Zhang Nan also went out and went downstairs, planning to run for a while.
did not let the waiter on duty follow, the same was true for the servants of Jia Yin's house, and came to the garden by himself.
Xiang Weirong and a few people just ran over~www.wuxiaspot.com~ They have just started this meeting, and they haven't sweated yet.
Zhang Nan followed and ran along the lane for more than ten minutes, sweating slightly, just right.
Walking to the lawn in front of the main building, the bodyguards will make gestures according to their habits.
As for Zhang Nan and Xiang Weirong, they sat and watched the excitement.
Stone bench, I got up and drank water, and wanted to smoke a cigarette according to my very bad habit, but didn't bring it.
Bored, thinking of the slightly weird feeling of getting up in the morning, he said to Xiang Weirong: "Brother-in-law, I will go back the day after tomorrow, I always feel a little bit awkward."
Upon hearing this, Xiang Weirong, who was still looking at Li Panfeng and the others, frowned, half-turned and asked, "Like the time in San Francisco?"
It was an earthquake, and my brother-in-law was very human.
"It shouldn't be, it just feels weird, I can't say it."
It was a memory that time, but this time it was simply feeling bad.
"Then don't take the day after tomorrow, leave tomorrow, and discuss your affairs in the evening."
Xiang Weirong, whether it is the sixth sense, or his own brother-in-law who is afraid of death, is okay: if you say the day after tomorrow, then advance it, even if it’s an earthquake or assassination, one day in advance, nothing happened!
What's the matter?
Zhang Nan didn't think there was anything wrong. Anyway, it was a bit awkward. It felt like it slowly happened after I went to the city across the river to watch the excitement yesterday.
It's not a bad body, it's just a feeling.
