Take a plane to Africa

Chapter 27 Visiting an African Village (2)

Although Yang Tianlong was not used to the black-specific smell, it was strange to say that the smell disappeared within a minute after he entered the hut.

"Huaxia Dragon, hello." The elderly patriarch stretched out his hand and said enthusiastically.

"Hello patriarch, your spirit is really good, you look better than us young people." Yang Tianlong said and gave the patriarch a thumbs up.

The patriarch laughed, and accepted all his flattery, "Hua Xialong, you are such a humorous guy." After finishing speaking, the patriarch asked a middle-aged man next to him to quickly make room for him.

The eldest son of the patriarch, Yom, also took advantage of the opportunity to sit next to Yang Tianlong, and said in a low voice: "Huaxialong, you are really amazing. You are the first foreigner I have seen who can be valued so much by the patriarch."

Yang Tianlong smiled at Yom, saying everything without saying anything.

Although Bunia is backward, the family hierarchy is still strict. Next, the patriarch introduced the people in the house to Yang Tianlong one by one.

Although he was not very interested in the so-called titles of Boke Village, Yang Tianlong could vaguely hear that everyone who could come today was someone who could talk in the village.

After introducing them one by one, Yang Tianlong looked polite and greeted everyone with enthusiasm, without the slightest sense of superiority inherent in foreigners.

"Huaxialong, thank you for your help to our village. After Cam and the others came back yesterday, I told them all about your kindness to them. It is really rare for a person like you from a foreign country. We are very willing to talk to you Make friends." The patriarch said sincerely.

Yang Tianlong nodded and said with a smile: "Patriarch, thank you very much for your trust. In fact, as a Chinese, I have traveled thousands of miles to Bunia with the purpose of helping the people here get rid of poverty and become rich. Today we have established friendship. This is the first step in the Long March. In the future, I hope that we can cooperate with each other, and I promise here that as long as there is mine, there must be the villagers of Boke Village.”

The patriarch nodded, "I hope we can cooperate, Huaxia Dragon, do you think we have any better resources here?"

"Now China is in short supply of timber, so I want to see our timber resources here." Yang Tianlong said seriously.

"Shortage of wood?" The patriarch and the others couldn't help being stunned, and then someone asked: "Huaxia Dragon, you Huaxia people don't live in earthen houses anymore, but instead live in wooden ones?"

Regarding this question, Yang Tianlong was stunned for a moment, thinking that this question made him really dumbfounded.But he still suppressed his smile and nodded, "Yes, we've changed it to wood now."

"It seems that you are still the best." The black man gave him a thumbs up while talking.

"There are a lot of wood, but they are all in the forest." The patriarch also said seriously.

"Then we can mine in a planned way." Yang Tianlong said seriously, he was also extremely unwilling to over-exploitation.Mountains of gold and silver are not as good as green water and green mountains. What's more, he just hopes to start with the timber business, and does not regard it as a long-term development plan.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in Bok Village shook their heads solemnly.

When I asked the reason, it turned out that they did not love their homeland and cherish green resources, but that in previous wars, the forest behind Boke Village was buried with many landmines.

No wonder those children said that the patriarch did not allow them to go hunting in the forest.

However, the patriarch did not discourage his enthusiasm, but told him that every household still had some wood, if necessary, could he also consider it.

Obviously, there are some requests in the patriarch's words.

Yang Tianlong nodded. He also wanted to see how much wood there was in Boke Village.

After chatting in the hut for a while, Yom took him around the village soon.

Counting from house to house, Yang Tianlong kept taking pictures, and finally counted that there were about 300 barrel-sized felled logs in the entire Boke village.

Although I don't know much about wood, the value can be seen more or less from the texture and grain of those wood.

"How is Huaxia Dragon? Are you satisfied?" Yom asked expectantly.

Yang Tianlong nodded, "Not bad."

"Then what do you think is your price?" Yom, as the eldest son of the patriarch, is regarded as the eldest son in China, and is the best candidate to succeed the patriarch, so he is also qualified to negotiate with Yang Tianlong.

Suddenly at this moment, Yang Tianlong's cell phone rang.

He was very curious, could it be that the signal here is not bad?

Sure enough, I took out my mobile phone and saw that the signal here is really good, and there is even a 3G network, which is better than the 2G where I live.

The call was from Wilmots. On the phone, Wilmots asked him how he was doing these two days and whether he needed help to repair the cabin.

Yang Tianlong told Wilmots with a smile that he had already repaired the cabin, and he also made two simple chairs, so he would not need to sit on the ground next time.

Wilmots laughed for a while, and after laughing, he told Yang Tianlong that tomorrow is Friday, and their Bunia Peace Commando will organize activities tomorrow afternoon, so don't forget the time.

Yang Tianlong nodded, indicating that he would definitely come as scheduled.

After hanging up the phone, Yom looked at Yang Tianlong enviously.

Obviously, this guy is also interested in his phone.

Without waiting for Yang Tianlong to speak, Yom took the initiative to say, "Huaxialong, your phone is pretty good."

Yang Tianlong nodded, "It's okay. I have better ones, do you want to see them?"

Hearing that there are better ones, Yom nodded quickly and asked him to take them out to appreciate.

He took out the counterfeit mobile phone again, marquee lantern, powerful loudspeaker, wireless TV... The rich functions opened the eyes of the villagers of Boke Village, who only had two black and white mobile phones in the whole village.

"How much is your phone?" Yom asked quickly.

"Maybe we can exchange?" Yang Tianlong looked at Yom seriously and said.

"In exchange for what?" Yom looked bewildered.

"How about changing the phone for wood?" Yang Tianlong smiled and shook the phone in his hand.

"No problem." Yom replied, "How about a mobile phone for four pieces of wood?"

Yang Tianlong was startled, and couldn't help opening his mouth. A 300 yuan counterfeit machine was exchanged for four pieces of precious wood with an average length of 4 meters. An idiot would not do it.

But Yang Tianlong still wanted to catch him for a while, only to see his face showing "difficulty" and muttering: "This?"

"Then add two more." Yom said while making gestures.

"Okay." Yang Tianlong nodded reluctantly, and then he took out two more mobile phones.

"Hua Xialong, can you spend some money to buy some wood?" Seeing that there are all mobile phones and no francs, Yom asked a little embarrassed.

Yang Tianlong understood what he meant, he nodded, "No problem, what price are you going to sell?"

Jom thought for a while, "How about 4000 francs a tree?"

4000 francs are about 8 dollars, which is about 50 yuan.

Such a price is too conscientious, but to be honest, Yang Tianlong doesn't have a lot of cash, and he has to be strong until the upgrade.

"Well, I'll buy you one for 4000 francs first, because I don't have a place to put it there, how about I come back when I sell it?"

Yom didn't even think about it, just nodded and agreed.
