The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

I watched off the small convoy of Sun Hongming. The eight drivers on this trip were all from the car group on the side of Xijiang, but among the eight, except for Captain Sun, they had no friendship with Zhang Nan and had never seen them before.

After that, Zhang Nan met many acquaintances: there were seven or eight drivers from Yan County, all of whom were preparing for the car.

The material bureau, the grain bureau, and the station came out, and there were also those who drove the tractor in the lower area, but the main driver was all coming out of the original troop.

Most of the local drivers were car soldiers. This was normal in China before the 1990s, because let alone earlier, even in the early 1980s, a local county might not train a new driver for one or two years.

It’s not that they don’t have that ability, but that the driver’s position of each unit was originally reserved for the demobilized auto soldiers. The place was trained and no car was used. The most typical one is Lao Xing’s son Chunlei: He has a driver’s license, but the people are not. In the repair department, at most when you are lucky, you will be the current class driver.

This time I also ran into Lao Xing, but this time the father and son had just gotten up, and they drove back to Yellowknife City late yesterday.

There is a dormitory provided by the company on the side of the cargo yard. There is a small suite for two people, two rooms, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom. The rooms are very compact but fully functional.

Zhang Nan and Xiang Weirong were in the temporary home of Lao Xing and his son, and the bodyguards were all driven to rest in the company restaurant.

This floor is full of drivers from Yan County, and in addition to being within the cargo yard, Zhang Nan feels as relaxed as returning home, and doesn't want anyone to be an eyesore on the side.

Xiang Weirong has the same idea: there are 20 or 30 drivers at home, all of whom are his own. The safety of my brother-in-law is extremely stable here!

Why stay here?

Eat a meal!

Although Lao Xing looks sloppy, his technique of stewing beef tendon and beef is unique in Yanxian. Not only does his family like to eat, but he also likes to greet the children of the employees of his unit to eat, saying that he eats more beef. Strong muscles and bones.

There used to be a coal cake stove in the corridor, and the aroma could spread throughout the building!

But at that time beef was not something you could buy every day. Now when I arrived in Canada, I didn't say anything. The **** beef was cheap. Just now Lao Xing complained that there was nowhere to buy this beef tendon.

Fortunately, in order to satisfy the tastes of the Chinese folks, the company directly bought a few live cattle at the beginning of this month and slaughtered them by themselves. Most of the raw beef tendons belonged to Lao Xing.

Hanging on the balcony, tens of degrees below zero, can keep fresh until March and April next year.

"Chunlei, I remember there are 23 this year, right?"

In the living room, Xiang Weirong sat in a chair chatting with Xing Chunlei. The child had just graduated from elementary school when he was transferred back to the place. It can be said that Xiang Weirong grew up watching.

Now the young man is a little taller than Zhang Nan, and has a larger frame. He is estimated to have a weight of 180. He is already a strong man.

"Well, Xu is 23, Uncle Xiaoxiang."

Chunlei respects Xiang Weirong very much. This is also the tradition of the team. The children are sensible since childhood. Uncles and uncles yelled like Xiao Jianan yelling that Lao Xing is Uncle Xing.

And because Xiang Weirong was the youngest driver among the pilots who had been transferred back to the same place in three to five years, all the children were used to calling him Uncle Xiang.

"One year older than Anan."

Xiang Weirong remembered correctly.

The children who came out of the caravan yelled bluntly when they shouted in order. This is also a more interesting phenomenon: For example, there is a grandfather Jin, but his lover is called Master Jin by the children.

Zhang Nan can also be considered as a student in the convoy, so he called his brother-in-law and the other uncle.

Zhang Nan gnawed a big American apple on the side. He didn't speak, listening to Xiang Weirong's words and knew what his brother-in-law was thinking. I studied the two single-shot shotguns that Xing's father and son were leaning against the wall, and took them over and played a few times.

They are all shotguns made by Thunder from the United States. One is a single-shot manual type and the other is a pump-type shotgun. Both are mass-produced and popular types. They are very cheap here.

Lao Xing was also a military background, and he had a double-barreled shotgun at home. Chunlei was a young man like himself. He loved guns. He saved money at the 86th club. He bought 200 yuan from the Xinhua Bookstore.

Guns are legal in Canada, and foreigners with regular jobs can also buy them. It's strange that father and son don't get two shots.

Apart from other things, there are a lot of prey here. Even if you buy a few hunting cards every year, you can't spend a lot of money, let alone hunting in the wasteland. The possibility of police officers appearing is almost equal to meeting aliens.

Zhang Nan was playing with a shotgun. Here Xiang Weirong said to Chunlei: "Except for your sister, you are the oldest in your generation in the garage. Driving a truck is hard and dangerous.

If you have an idea, you don’t need to find a temporary job or return to your country after the transportation is over this winter. Let the Davis manager arrange for you, so it’s not difficult to get a college degree here.

Come back every winter and drive for two months, plus helping out in the company during summer vacation, it will be enough for your tuition and living expenses.

If you don’t want to go to school, go to the United States. You have never been a soldier. A pure bodyguard is not suitable. It is better to be a driver for Anan for a period of training than to live in this remote area. "

Hearing this, Xing Chunlei's eyes lit up, but soon dimmed, and said, "Uncle Xiaoxiang, my dad doesn't even know ABCD. If I didn't serve him as the co-pilot, I really couldn't mix in Canada. ."

Chunlei graduated from high school, with the same grades originally, but for more than a year, English has been forced to learn.

But Lao Xing was not able to do it. He said "Hello, goodbye". He couldn't learn anything else. Even if he could drive in Canada, he would drive without a license and work illegally. There was no police investigation anyway.

Therefore, although Lao Xing received the treatment of the driver of the main vehicle because of his care, the type of work on the employee roster was a porter, and his car had only his son as a driver in the legal sense.

Hearing this, Xiang Weirong said: "Don't worry about me, I'm a person in his early 50s, how many years can I drive a big truck?

Next year, I will give Lao Xing a younger assistant, and go home for another year or two to hug his grandson..."

Chunlei's sister got married early, and her son will be one year old this time.

"... Besides going to the United States, Anan will lose you? If Lao Xing still wants to drive a few years later, although his salary is not as high as that, SC Johnson has small cars. I can rest assured that he drives."

At this time, Lao Xing came out of the kitchen with a large stainless steel washbasin. The noodles became full of beef tendons and a few big hooves, and the aroma was overflowing!

He probably heard what an old colleague said, Lao Xing said to his son: "Listen to your little uncle Xiang, I'm a big deal for Lao Wang, and I don't need a license to repair the car anyway.

We are not proficient in any electronic equipment. We are good at maintaining engines and construction sites, and we are not inferior to Lao Wang and others.

I went to the United States to listen to your Uncle Xiang and Xiao Zhang. When the time comes, find an American wife to come back. Your mother and I will be happy! "

He put the washbasin on the dining table and said, "Wei Rong, Xiao Zhang, Chunlei will be in charge of you when that happens, and I can rest assured that I will follow you."

Lao Xing feels relieved that his son will not suffer; Xiang Weirong also feels relieved that Chunlei's character is okay; Zhang Nan is even more relieved, because he knows that this friend of the same age who grew up with him is really a good person.

How difficult it is to be a good man!

In the last forty years, I was still driving a big truck, making money to support my family. I didn’t have the abilities, so I just had to do my job, relying on the ability to feed.

You said to keep it by your side, maybe some stunt driving is not good, but the safety is absolutely safe: Chunlei has driven a car for almost 30 years in his previous life, and there has not been a famous accident. This is not for you. It's a miracle that people will hit you when they hit you!

Good luck, no illness, no disaster, that is also strength!

Even if he doesn't drive for himself or work as a full-time driver for anyone in the family, Zhang Nan can rest assured of him.

This is set. After the Spring Lei, he will arrange to go to the United States, but at least he will be sent to West Virginia to exercise for half a year to a year.

Driving in the U.S., especially for Wall Street financial giants, is not just a good drive. It requires a lot of training!

There is also the training of security skills. You guy has grown to a size of 1.85 meters. No matter how honest he is, he still has to reach the pass level of an armed driver of a security company, right?

Just being a driver is a waste, and you have to have some basic bodyguard skills. This young man is young, and it is a good thing to practice. At least Chunlei is confident, and his father is more at ease.

Especially Lao Xing will explain to his son in person: in the future, he will follow American rules!

He had heard that even Xiang Weirong's old subordinates called Xiao Zhang the boss. Lao Xing was very old, and he was friends with Zhang Nan's father at the time, so it's okay to cry Xiao Zhang, and he will still be able to shout like that in another 20 years.

But Chunlei can't call him Nannan or Anan when he was just working, and he can't even call his name: after he gets out of this room, he will have to call the boss in the future!

There is also a period of time in Canada. Young people learn fast. Chunlei has no pressure on this: This is a capitalist society. If you want to eat in North America, you have to follow the rules.

After the big event, eat!

Xiang Weirong couldn't drink enough, a can of blue ribbon beer was in place, but the cow hoof killed both in one breath!

Zhang Nan had a good amount of alcohol. He and the Xing family had four or five cans each, beer with beef tendon, beef hooves, and fried peanuts, plus pot-fried cucumbers. It was so cool!

Lao Xing’s family eats in this style, there are not so many fancy things, but it is just right.

After a dizzy drink, the Xing family and his son will get out of the car tomorrow morning, pulling two sections of 80 tons of diesel to Lake Gela. It is estimated that they will be able to run into it again.

After being sent back to the hotel in Yellowknife by the bodyguards, Zhang Nan took a bath and went to sleep, then... dreamed of his hometown.

After waking up at four o'clock in the middle of the night, I couldn't fall asleep, put on thick pajamas and went to the balcony to smoke.

With a severe cold of minus 36 or 7 degrees, I glanced at the magnificent northern lights in the sky, pinched off the smoke halfway through and ran back.

it's too cold!

Not to mention freezing into a dog, and then standing on the balcony, freezing into an ice sculpture is no problem!

The house was warm, but Zhang Nan had insomnia: homesick, missed everything in his hometown, and wanted to visit his parents’ grave.

"I will go back to the Asian Games next year. I will go home and live for a few months without watching the games, no matter what the mess!"

After thinking about it for a long time, I don't know what time it is. Anyway, it's dark, and it's still night, and no one will call myself to get up to catch a plane.

If you want to sleep, continue to sleep, regardless of other things!

This time I slept until I woke up hungry, and then I got up after 12 noon.

After eating, I arrived at the Bing Nian Airport not far away. It was almost one o'clock in the afternoon, and it was almost dark.

There is only one ordinary airport in Yellowknife City. In summer, there is a jetty on the water, but there must be a dock. In winter, even the pier is saved. Remove the pontoons and exchange for sleds, and the huge lake can become an airport everywhere.

Double otters, wheels with sleds, the most common small modification in northern Canada in winter. It is suitable for use in northern areas where there are many lakes and rivers. Even if there is a mechanical failure, you can find a place to land at any time. It is absolutely safe.

It is safer than a helicopter, because it is more convenient to find a water or ice surface that can take off and land than a flat bottom that can let the helicopter land.

Just a plane, bring a dozen bodyguards to get it done, and the others will stay in Yellowknife City.

There is no man’s land near Lake Gera, and the mine is all its own employees. If there will be a safety problem, the possibility is smaller than that of Mars hitting the earth!

The Geera Lake Diamond Mine is an independent kingdom controlled by Zhang Nan.

Today Davis is still with his boss. The flight route will be basically parallel to the high speed on the ice after flying dozens of kilometers. One is to allow Zhang Nan to see the transportation line intuitively, and the second is to fly in winter as the safest way. .

The road is the runway, and you can get assistance at any time~www.wuxiaspot.com~ It's worth flying dozens of kilometers more.

Flying at an altitude of about 3,000 meters, Zhang Nan could see the direction of the icy road below through the porthole, and he could even see the trail of several heavy trucks.

More than half an hour later, Zhang Nan saw a mining area building, but it was not his own diamond mine, but the original gold mine.

"It's abandoned?"

This was asking Davis, who hurriedly said: "The gold mine is getting more and more losses, and it was closed this summer. Their boss wanted to sell us some engineering equipment that we can use, and I accepted it all at a very low price. .

In the fall, we sent someone to demolish it for a month, and they have been transported to our mine. Now there are no rats in the gold mining area. "

This is the case for investing in remote mines. Because the cost is too high, bad luck and inaccurate forecasts can drag a big company to the bone!

Mining in the Northwest is not something everyone can do.

Originally, the mine’s equipment was not easy to handle, or because the transportation cost was too high, so Davis was a villain and a good guy this time: buying things at super low prices is similar to robbery, but it is a big help. Otherwise, except for the vehicles that can run on their own, the other equipment will slowly rust and scrap in the mining area.

Speaking of other people's mines, Davis said about a lot of bad luck in Canada in the past two years.

Now in Ontario, Quebec, Nunavut, Yukon...Countless diamond investment companies and diamond hunters are searching for traces of diamond mines in their private places.

There are professions, and there are many businesses: the latter is okay, it's a big deal to take an adventure and play.

Professional diamond hunters rely on this to eat. If they can't find diamonds, they will even have a headache for eating.

Private behavior is not bad, but the cost of gambling in enclosures is high!
