Chapter 949 948. This is South Africa (25)

Helicopters cannot fly into the mine, otherwise the airflow brought up by the rotor will disperse the smoke and dust in the air, causing a sandstorm in the mine.

An open space was opened up five or six kilometers away from the mine, where the helicopter landed, and two off-road vehicles with tall platforms waited quietly.

Li Du looked at the signs, and found that these two off-road vehicles were also Chinese brands.

The lion hunter noticed his gaze and said with a smile: "made-in-China, we have a lot of Chinese products here. Chinese products are cheap and durable. Who doesn't like them?"

Li Du responded with a smile, which is a kind of recognition of Chinese products.

They got off the plane and were about to board the car, when suddenly a group of black people rushed out.

These people did not know where they were hiding before. There were old people, children, skinny figures, and shabby clothes.

After running out, they shouted to the lion hunter:

"Sir, return our fields! We have nothing to eat!" "Don't destroy our home!" "Give me compensation, or I'll blow up your mine!"

Li Du asked in surprise, "What's going on?"

He asked knowingly that there were fields around the mine, so he must have occupied these fields and did not pay compensation.

Therefore, the local people should regret it now. In the past, white people would occupy their fields when they opened mines, but at least they would follow the rules and give them compensation, or provide them with jobs to make up for it.

The lion hunter lit his cigar, waved his hands leisurely and said, "One acre will compensate you with 200,000 rand, and you will be given 1,000 kilograms of grain every year. That was the agreement at the time, right?"

A woman shouted, "My husband ran away with the money, and my parents took away the food. What should I do?"

The lion hunter said coldly: "I have fulfilled the agreement, I have given you money, and I will give you food every year. I have got the money and food, and the rest has nothing to do with me."

Hearing this, Li Du stopped talking.

He said that before to put pressure on the lion hunters. He thought that these locals belonged to the invaded and belonged to the weak side. Looking at it now, it seems that this is not the case.

People shouted, howled and complained, but the lion hunter didn't care. He waved his hand, and a strong black security guard came up and pushed everyone away.

After getting into the car, Li Du and the others drove towards the mine. The crowd who had come to complain about the demonstration earlier walked back, and the convoy happened to catch up from behind.

There were a few children in the crowd, who seemed to be about the same age as Victoria and Ivana, and they staggered at the end of the crowd, looking very embarrassed.

Sophie couldn't bear it. Seeing some children lying down in the river beside the road to drink water, she said, "Stop the car, let's bring some food to drink, right? Give it to them, anyway, I don't think we need it."

The food and drinking water are prepared by Brother Wolf. He believes that in this place in Africa, as long as you go to the wild, you must prepare enough food.

The lion hunter on the co-pilot said slowly: "Miss Martin, I admire your kindness and brilliance of personality, but if you don't understand this, your decision may not be correct."

After hearing what he said, Sophie immediately asked, "Please explain in detail."

The lion hunter did not say much, but said, "You can give them food, and then everything will be clear."

The driver stopped the car, and Sophie brought food and mineral water to the children.

The children were very polite, thanked her excitedly after getting the food and mineral water, and then hurriedly gobbled up food and water.

Sophie got into the car. Before she could sit still in the car, the eager crowd rushed up and snatched food and water from these children.

Some food even caused fights. Several women and young people were tearing together. As the masters of food and drinking water, those children could only lie on the ground and cry loudly.

Sophie was stunned. She murmured, "During my internship in the Middle East, nothing like this happened. They are still children. Why do you treat them like this?"

"This is not the Middle East, this is Africa, this is South Africa, and next door is Zimbabwe, which is a world that eats people." The lion hunter smiled, with a helpless smile on his face.

The car continued to drive forward, gradually approaching the mine, and some tall mining trucks appeared in their field of vision.

These trucks are very tall, with tires as tall as a person, black smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe crazily, and the compartments are filled with ore, and they are transported out one after another.

A truck drove towards him, then stopped on the side of the road, and the driver got off. Li Du was surprised to find that it was a white woman.

"Are all the workers in your mine white?" he asked.

The lion hunter shook his head and said, "I really want to, but there are too few white people who want to work in the mines. The work is tiring and the income is very little. They don't want to suffer like this."

There are whites and blacks in the mine, men and women, and the ratio is basically maintained at one to one.

The lion hunter said that the reason why black people are used is because some black people do not require high salaries and are hard-working, but such black people are always rare. Most of them are lazy and greedy. They don't work and just want to get money.

Just like the protesting crowd before, the lion hunters gave them a lot of money. With that money, they could go to a nearby town to buy a house and give them 1,000 kilograms of grain every year. As long as they went to work again, they could Live in peace and stability.

But these people don’t do this. After they get the money, they either leave the family, or eat, drink, play and enjoy themselves quickly. When they get the food, they exchange it for money and continue to enjoy themselves.

What to do when there is no money and no food in the end? Just come to the mine to make trouble, if you can get compensation, you are making money, it doesn’t matter if you don’t get compensation, there is no loss anyway.

The lion hunter is very powerful in the local area, but if he is not pushed to the top, he will not easily arrange for his subordinates to beat people, let alone kill people. After all, unlike Zambia and Zimbabwe, South Africa has the rule of law here.

He said: "The black miners here are not peaceful, and I have spent a lot of effort to appease them. The living and eating environment in the mine are very good, and you can see it soon."

"In addition, I also frightened them, saying that if it is not required by the country, I will replace them all with white people, and I will not use black people, so as to make them feel pressure, so that they can work with peace of mind."

After entering the mine, the Humvee stopped, and they changed into several ATVs that can drive on extreme terrain.

There are two mines in the lion hunter's mine. The mine is spiral-shaped, with the largest ground area, and gradually shrinks downwards. The overall shape is like a funnel.

Such mining pits are determined by the properties of diamonds, which are formed as a result of volcanic activity and are sent to the surface through volcanic eruptions, most of which are located in a special kind of rock pipe.

Because these rock tubes were formed by ancient volcanic activity and often exist vertically in the underground world, miners can only dig diamonds down as far as possible, until the hill becomes a hole.
