Chapter 977

The difference between the two sides is not only the difficulty of obtaining food and the attitude towards food? The difference is too much, the gap is too big!

When Li Du came back from the Hadzai tribe, the lion hunters saw that he had no interest in hunting. After they stayed in the wild for another day and a half, the lion hunters had a new idea.

He said: "Li, I'm sorry, I should have consulted your opinion beforehand, and should not have brought you hunting directly, obviously, this is not what you love."

Li Du is not a person who doesn't know how to compliment, he quickly said: "You are too polite, buddy, my fiancee and I really don't have much interest in hunting wild animals, but this trip to the grassland opened my eyes, I am very grateful to you hospitality."

Sophie also said: "Yes, sir, your hospitality is great. I only now know that there is such a wonderful and rich life outside the United States, and that African tribes have such a profound culture!"

The lion hunter laughed happily, and he said: "You are people who can talk, and you can speak very well. I have to entertain you well. You are not interested in hunting, but you should be interested in diving, right?"

Li Du was not interested in diving either. Just as he was about to refuse, the lion hunter continued, "I've asked. You have been diving in Australia for a long time, right?"

Since the other party had already inquired about their past experience, it was not easy for Li Du to refuse.

He can explain that diving in Australia is to catch black gold abalone, but the lion hunters may not believe it, and they may think that they are looking for reasons to reject his kindness.

Even if he understood Li Du, it would be a lot of fun if there was something to fish for on the coast of Africa. Maybe he would invite Li Du to go diving to fish for these things.

Therefore, Li Du decided to obey the lion hunter's orders honestly and go diving honestly.

The lion hunter was so enthusiastic about him, even a little too enthusiastic, but it was easy to understand.

Cole introduced him as the representative of Harry Winston to investigate the African diamond market. Given the status of the Winston Group in the US diamond jewelry industry, he is almost a representative of the US diamond market.

As we all know, the United States is the world's largest diamond consumer market. Although the United States hardly produces diamonds for commercial consumption, the purchase of gem-quality diamonds in the United States accounts for 40% of the world's total.

Any owner of a diamond mine hopes to have a good relationship with the American market.

Driving away from the prairie reserve, they found a neat lion skin in their car.

This is the so-called wildlife sanctuary, which is the result of the South African government yelling about protecting Mother Earth. Li Du can only shake his head.

However, it cost tens of thousands of dollars to buy a lion skin. For the government, this business is not bad.

If they're using the proceeds from the tickets to protect the savannah and its animals, they can't be blamed for doing so.

Unfortunately, based on Li Du's understanding of the South African black government, such a thing is impossible to even think about.

The place where they want to dive is some distance away from the prairie, but not far from the lion hunter's mine. They both belong to Zulu-Natal province, but one is in the interior and the other is by the sea.

After flying by helicopter for most of the day, a blue coast appeared in their field of vision. This is their destination, the South African seaport city, Durban.

Durban is called eThekwini in Zulu, which means "in the harbour".

As the name suggests, this city has an excellent deep-water port, which is an important window for South Africa to showcase itself to the outside world. Compared with inland cities, it has better management and better environmental protection, and is known as the best managed city in Africa.

Due to its geographical location, Durban has a pleasant subtropical climate with sunshine all year round, so it is still suitable for diving even in winter in South Africa.

In addition, in terms of time, it is now the end of August, which means that it has entered spring, and the northern part of South Africa is getting hotter because it is closer to the equator.

The helicopter landed on a helipad in the city. The lion hunter had a business partner here, and the other party prepared an S-series Mercedes-Benz and other luxury cars for them to receive them.

After landing, the first thing is to arrange meals.

Li Du and others entered the street by car, and soon he found an interesting thing, and said with a smile: "I feel like I'm in Los Angeles, where there are all kinds of people."

Whites, blacks, and yellows, you can see pedestrians of various skin colors on the street, especially Indians. In addition, Li Du also saw many Asians. He thought they were Chinese.

The lion hunter smiled and said: "There are nearly four million people in Durban, and a quarter of them are descendants of Indians, so you can see a lot of Indians."

"Those people are Chinese, right?" Li Du pointed to a few young people who were watching the big screen at the entrance of the store. Some of them were wearing clothes with Chinese characters written on them: awesome!

The lion hunter nodded and said: "Yes, many foreigners entered South Africa from Durban. If you look at the buildings here, you will see that the buildings here are not only a fusion of African and British traditions, but also from the source. in the traditions of Holland, Portugal and your China."

After lunch, the lion hunter enthusiastically led them around the city, and visited local attractions such as the Bania Theater, the African Antiques and Art High-end Market.

Li Du smiled bitterly and said to Sophie: "This time we come to South Africa, we are not here to find diamonds, but to travel."

This is the main reason why he is not in the mood to go hunting and diving. This time he came to Africa with a mission, and there are four months left to complete the mission.

Sophie made a face at him, and said, "Who made you trouble yourself? If you want to find diamonds, you should go to Botswana, Russia or Canada, why go to South Africa?"

The world's three largest diamond mines are located in Botswana, Russia and Canada. The diamond mines in South Africa have been developed almost, so the current mining groups rarely come to South Africa to explore diamond mines.

However, Li Du had to make this choice because the Hai Rui-Winston Group's network resources were limited in South Africa, Botswana and Canada, otherwise they would not have been tricked into buying an abandoned diamond mine in Canada.

As for going to Russia, the international situation there is not clear right now. In view of the historical relationship between Russia and the United States, he thinks it is better not to go.

The lion hunter misunderstood him and said, "OK, it seems that you are not interested in our city. I will take you to the Golden Coast and hope that you will be satisfied there."

In his eyes, Li Du has become a difficult person to serve.

Li Du couldn't explain it. He actually wanted to study the distribution of diamond mines in South Africa, and then go to find mines.

But this cannot be known to the lion hunter, not to mention that his search for a diamond mine is tantamount to a competitive relationship with the lion hunter, but based on his understanding of the lion hunter, he believes that if he finds a diamond mine, the other party will be happy to use it. Kill him and occupy the mine.
