985. Theft (4/5)
Li Du would not believe the words of the lion hunter.
Indeed, Cecil coins are not worth more than waste paper. This currency is often used in one trillion yuan. Because of the low level of education, locals don’t even know how much banknotes they have. Because there are too many 0 on it, they can’t count them...
But Mosanbi's currency system did not collapse, and the liquidity was still very good in China. However, this kind of currency is quite valuable. Mosanbi's currency can only be exchanged for a few dollars for Metical to 100,000.
Remoin smiled and said, "Mr. Li, food stamps are very common in our places. Not only do I print them, but there are several tribes of Cecil near me, and they also print this thing."
Li Du believes that Cecil's currency system has collapsed, and some warlords print and issue currencies in their own areas. The tribe Remoin mentioned is probably warlords.
Speaking of Cecil, this is really a country that confirms the capabilities and qualities of native black people in Africa.
Many people may not know that Cecil is a southern African country with rich mineral resources and fertile land. When it was independent in 1980, its economic strength was second only to South Africa in Africa.
At that time, there were many white farms and ranches in Cecil, so it was known as the "African Bread Basket". At that time, food from Cecil fed the hungry people in Africa.
In 2000, the good show came. President Mugabe didn't know if he was kicked by a donkey or something, so he began to implement radical land reform and forcibly confiscate the land of white farmers to his "black brothers".
Then Cecil's agriculture, tourism and mining plummeted, and the economy then collapsed.
In the last century, the Tianjin dollar was more valuable than the US dollar. When it became independent in 1980, the exchange rate between the Tianjin dollar and the US dollar was 1:1.47.
After the land reform, due to the economic collapse, the government's finances were not enough to make ends meet, so it began to print money, which became a quota of hundreds of trillions of yuan for a piece of paper money today.
Li Du is optimistic that South Africa can take this path of retreat. The IQ of the native black people in Africa makes him feel anxious. It is very dangerous to let them govern the country.
As a yellow man, Li Du did not have the stupid idea of white supremacy, but he had to admit that the upper limit of white people's governance of the country may not be high, but the lower limit will not be very low. In modern history, there is no example of the country's overturn due to government bankruptcy.
There is really no bottom limit for black people to govern the country. For example, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Cecil, or the entire Africa now, is this a modern country?
Even Remoin himself admitted that they talked about Mosanbi, Cecil and South Africa, and wandered around the mines.
In contrast, the environment of this mine is better than that of the underground mines of the lion hunter. The underground river not only brings water flow, but also brings fresh air.
Working in an underground cave mine is not full of breath, nor is it very hot or cold, and the temperature is quite suitable. This underground river is equivalent to an air conditioner.
Also, even if the cave is suppressed, it has a large space and will not even be able to stand up inside like the underground rat cave mine of lion hunters!
After the tour, it was time to have supper.
The workers went ashore for body searches, and after they had no problems, they went to collect food and put it in their bags, put black cloth on their eyes, and were taken out of the mine.
"They only need to work twelve hours a day, and they can rest and play in the other time." Remoin said, "This work is not very intense, right?"
For Chinese and Americans, this working time is too long for any serious country, but for African miners, the intensity is indeed not high.
"I offer three meals a day and issue food coupons once a month. Work hard with me for a year. The food coupons they receive can survive for five or even ten years," Remoin continued.
"Maybe you would mind that I hired child labor to work, but here, the children don't have the opportunity to go to school. It's a great thing that they can work and support themselves. Many children can only starve to death!"
The boy who had previously found diamonds mixed in the crowd and was about to leave, Remoning waved to him and said, "Hey, come here, boy."
The boy was named and his legs trembled with fear. He lowered his head in panic and walked slowly over. The closer he got, the more his legs trembled.
Li Du realized something was wrong. Remoin's cultural level was lower than his, but he was far from reaching the control of human hearts and human nature.
So, since he discovered that something was wrong with this boy, how could Remoin not find it?
He asked gently first, "Where are you from?"
The boy didn't speak, but just stood there with his head down, his body trembling even harder.
Remoin said: "Don't be afraid, you may know me, I am the general here, I am a kind guy. If you work for me, I will protect you from safety and provide you with food."
The boy quickly raised his head and lowered his head, muttering in a rustic language.
Remoin was stunned and asked, "What language is this? I don't understand."
Li Du was dizzy, but there were too many local languages in Africa, so it was normal for Remoin to not understand.
A guard in charge of the mine walked over and said, "Report to the general, his name is Baba Zhu, he is a pygmy and does not speak English or Portuguese."
Remoin nodded suddenly: "Pygmy, ha, Mr. Li, it's not me who hires child labor, this is a Pygmy."
Li Du said: "Pygmies? What kind of tribe is this?"
Remoin smiled and said, "I'll tell you later. You have a good time today, haha, haha."
The lion hunter also laughed and said, "I'll get a share later."
Li Du didn't understand what the two were talking about. Are the pygmies both excellent chefs? But even chefs, as underage children, what kind of cooking skills can they know?
Remoin nodded to the guards, and several black brothers pointed the bayonet gun at the child, and shouted loudly: "Hey! Hey! Hey!"
A guard tore the boy's ragged clothes and picked him up and scolded him loudly. He was in Portuguese and Li Du couldn't understand what he said.
The boy became more and more frightened, and finally his legs became weak and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed hard.
The guards continued to roar, and the other workers who were about to leave were brought over, gathered here to watch the boys, and roared one after another.
Li Du didn't know what was going on, but he knew that he could not interfere in such things at will. At least he had to figure out the situation before making a decision.
But he probably guessed that this young man was either timid and afraid of Remoin or did something illegal and was afraid of being noticed, for example, he stole diamonds.
