Chapter 8 The First Gold Nugget
Seven days later, when Luo Yi walked out of ML's BMK airport, his first feeling was coolness.

BMK is the capital of ML. Because it is close to the Sahara Desert and enjoys strong sunshine all year round, it is the hottest city in West Black Africa. BMK has no seasonal changes of spring, summer, autumn and winter in a year, only the rainy and dry seasons that alternate regularly year after year.

The reason why Luo Yi felt cool when he walked out of the airport was because a heavy rain had just ended.

But cool weather is not necessarily a good thing.During the rainy season, BMK experiences thunderstorms and even heavy rain every day.It is cool enough, but when the rain is relatively abundant, there will be a lot of malaria, and there is also the terrible cerebral malaria.

Generally, the mortality rate of malaria is not too high, but if cerebral malaria is not treated in time, it is said that once the malaria parasites get into the brain, it is said that there is no cure!

It is really not clear whether ML has more accidents caused by social disorder or more accidents caused by diseases.If it weren't for medical nano-robots, to be honest, Luo Yi might not have dared to come to ML.

Because he had inquired about relevant information in advance, Luo Yi prepared some M gold in advance.When clearing customs, Luo Yi took the initiative to hand over the money to the airport inspectors before they could make things difficult.Therefore, the attitude of the airport inspectors was very good. Luo Yi suspected that he could pass customs smoothly even without a passport.

After leaving the airport, Luo Yi got on a bus.

Luo Yi was amazed at the beginning, because although the bus was so dilapidated that it was about to fall apart, and although the interior was in a mess, it was actually a Mercedes-Benz bus.

But after entering the urban area, Luo Yi became numb, because the streets were full of Mercedes-Benz cars.Looking around, the probability of a random car being a Mercedes-Benz is far greater than the probability of not being a Mercedes-Benz brand.

But no matter how you look at it, those shockingly dilapidated cars should stay in the car cemetery instead of littering the streets.

Come to think of it, the entire BMK was used as a garbage recycling bin by Ozhou.

Still following the strategy on the Internet, Luo Yi chose a hotel run by a compatriot.

Because there was only an eight-hour time difference, Luo Yi was in good spirits.After finishing the accommodation, Luo Yi threw the salute into the room, and then went shopping.

It is rare to see a person of yellow race wandering the streets alone in the local area, and Luo Yi only has a very ordinary men's satchel on his shoulders, obviously not a backpacker.So the locals would look at Luo Yi curiously.A group of children looked at Luo Yixiao from afar and greeted him warmly.

However, Luo Yi discredited the state of etiquette.He ignored all the locals and made no eye contact with anyone.

This is for a reason.

The guide said that if children greet them in response, they will hula around.Then they will stretch out their hands and beg with simple F or E words.

Not just ML, children from many countries in Black Africa have developed the habit of begging foreigners for money at will.

As for adults, there is a custom that is even more puzzling to Luo Yi: Although the local people are extremely poor, they don't worry about survival, and they don't have the concept of saving.Once they run out of money, the locals will go to the homes of friends they know for food and lodging, and the friends will not refuse.Coincidentally, the same seems to be true for black people whose ancestors have long since left the Black Continent and gone to Country M. Many black celebrities are surrounded by many such friends.

However, other people's customs have nothing to do with Luo Yi, he is just curious.Now Luo Yi just wants to find a suitable gold store and find a way to sell gold bars.

Hard work pays off, and after careful "stepping out", Luo Yi set three goals - gold shops with Chinese characters on their signboards.

Although under the corruption of money, modern people are no longer as simple as in ancient times, and some scammers even specifically regard their fellow countrymen and compatriots as targets of deception.But no matter how you say it, people of the same race are more naturally close than those of other races.

Cooperating with compatriots, the possibility of being cheated cannot be ruled out, but at least there is no need to worry that they will collude with local criminal gangs to carry out armed robbery-Luo Yi has a high tolerance for being cheated, because he has no money Now, it is easy to make a comeback.

But if he is robbed, Luo Yi can only pray that the robbers are veterans and won't go off because of nervousness.

The three gold shops couldn't be seen as good or bad from the outside, so Luo Yi finally randomly chose a gold shop that was close to his eyes and walked in.

There is a large counter in the gold shop, and above the counter is a large piece of glass.Maybe because the glass itself is not bulletproof, there is an iron fence on the counter besides the glass.

A clerk at the counter was looking at his mobile phone, but when he saw Luo Yi coming in, he immediately put down his mobile phone and asked, "What service do you need?"

The local security guards who were lazy in the hall also stood up straight, trying to show a good professional attitude.

Luo Yi walked to the counter, glanced at the exchange price of the day, and was unexpectedly satisfied - the price was much higher than he had imagined.

In fact, Luo Yi once exchanged a gold bar in China before, and it was exchanged at a pawn shop.Because there were no invoices and related supporting documents (all recyclable gold bars issued by banks have supporting documents), the pawnshop severely suppressed the price.

Luo Yi suspected that the pawnbroker had treated the gold bars as stolen goods.Although he neither stole nor robbed, but after all, he lacked confidence and lacked the psychological quality.

So the final transaction price was less than [-].Afterwards, Luo Yi did not continue to sell gold bars in China—it was not a matter of more money and less money, but because he was too aggrieved.

Considering that ML is a gold producing country, the price of gold should be lower - in fact, it is lower than the international gold market trading price.But according to the purchase price clearly marked in this gold shop, the price of a large yellow croaker exceeded one hundred thousand, which was far beyond Luo Yi's psychological expectations.

So Luo Yi took out a large yellow croaker from his trouser pocket and passed it in through the window.

The clerk at the counter has been doing this job for five years and has seen a lot of gold bars smelted by local people.So with just one glance, the senior clerk could see that the large yellow croaker Luo Yi brought out seemed a little different from the local gold bars, and the smelting process was obviously much higher.

However, the clerk did not make a fuss, but methodically tested the authenticity and purity of the gold bars according to the procedure.

While the clerk was testing the gold bars, a middle-aged man with Mediterranean hair came out slowly.

This middle-aged man is the owner of the gold shop. He has opened the gold shop for 12 years, and his eyesight is worse than that of the clerk.With just one glance, he judged that this gold bar was probably real gold.

When doing business, of course you hope to retain customers, so the shop owner walked towards Luo Yi with a smile on his face and talked to Luo Yi in Mandarin with a strong local accent.

"Brother, look at your face, you just arrived at BMK?"

Luo Yi has a big secret, and he doesn't want to chat too much with strangers, lest he inadvertently reveal something, so he asked instead: "Why are you asking this?"

Mediterranean smiled and explained: "I have opened a gold shop in BMK for 12 years, and I often deal with gold diggers. I like to make friends the most, so I have become friends with many customers. Like Zhou Dachang, Shi Tian, ​​Peng Shan , are familiar with me."

Luo Yi felt baffled.
