592. Another piece of land (1/3)
The South African gold mining industry is full of magic. The miracles that have been born on this land seem to be related to gold and diamonds. Traditional gold and diamond collections are carried out in mines. Lao Yang cannot experience them personally, so he can only visit them.
There is a gold mining tour project in Johannesburg, and there is a gold mining museum. After entering, I led the tour guide to the mine. If you spend more money, you can rent a hard helmet and iron pickaxe to dig the ore and try your luck.
Of course, the chance of digging gold in these mines is similar to winning a lottery. Visitors just go and experience it. If you really want to dig out gold, you have to dream, which is impossible in reality.
But the small town of Bekuzulu where Hall went to discovered the Golden Sand River, so that we can really try to harvest gold.
Yang Shubao was very interested in this. Many of his friends and classmates asked him if he had found gold after learning that he was in South Africa. Although these words were ridiculous, Lao Yang had a lot of thoughts about it.
He made an appointment with Mason to go to the town to find Hall this weekend.
Reality is always like this, and plans are not as fast as changes.
On Friday, some cars suddenly drove into the grassland from the road leading to the town. Then the car stopped some workers and threw wooden wedges down from the carriage. A group of dozen people waved their hammers and began to smash the wooden wedges on the grass.
At first, they found out that they were doing this were tourists. These tourists thought that the workers were hired by Yang Shubao, so they all came to watch the fun.
Zhang Jinjie helped ask and asked them what they were doing. A worker told him that he was pulling the wooden fence wall.
He knew that this was not something Yang Shubao arranged, so he called back and told Yang Shubao about the matter.
After hearing his description, Yang Shubao guessed what he was doing. The Provincial Department of Land Reform was going to take out the takeout site again. He wanted to use wooden wedges to draw a piece of land, just like the previous No. 1 and No. 2 protection zones.
Yang Shubao is more concerned about this matter, and he doesn't mind expanding the reserve any more.
He was running a big bike, and he jumped all the way and found the pickup trucks and saw the workers working.
After stopping the car, he took a cold beer over, put it down and greeted enthusiastically: "Hi, guys, today's sun is so fierce, ha?"
Although the climate in South Africa is pleasant, the daytime temperatures are high, the humidity is high, the sun is fierce, and the ultraviolet rays are strong. It is absolutely arduous to stay outside to do rough work at this time, especially these black people have strong heat absorption ability, and are shining in the sun like pieces of coal.
The workers were easy to talk, and a strong black man wiping the sweat from his forehead greeted: "No doubt, sir, what's the price for you to come here?"
Yang Shubao put down the beer and said, "Come here and chat a few times, let your guys stop working, come and have a few sips of beer to rest. Castle craft, 11 degrees malt concentration, I have passed the freezer and there is nothing more comfortable than it in hot weather."
Castle is the most famous beer brand in South Africa, and its status in the entire country is similar to that of Qingdao Beer in China.
The brewery is headquartered in Johannesburg and was founded in 1895. In the early 1990s, before the elimination of the South African apartheid system, castle beer was only supplied to whites. If blacks want to drink this beer, they had to work in the gold mines. Other blacks had to drink this beer even violated regulations.
With the abolition of the apartheid system, Castle Beer began to sweep the market in South Africa, and later went north to conquer the markets in Africa. After the acquisition of several breweries in the United States and Europe, it became the second largest brewery in the world, and it won the largest beer sales network in Africa and the second largest beer sales network in the United States. It can now produce 12 billion liters of beer every year.
Yang Shubao thought the taste of this beer was not surprising. If he drank Castle beer, he would only drink crafts. The wort concentration of this wine was higher, mellow, soft, and had a serious wort aroma.
The black brothers of the workers loved castle beer even more. They heard that there was a cold castle supply, and the group stopped working. They hurriedly came to drink beer one by one.
The strong man in the lead killed half of the bottle of wine in one breath. He burped his body after putting down the bottle, and smiled with satisfaction: "It's so good."
Beer opens up communication channels between the two sides, which is more useful than tribute to cigarettes in China.
Yang Shubao asked: "It was the Land Reform Department who arranged for you to come here to enclose this land, right? What are they doing? Are they planning to sell this land again?"
The leading worker shook his head and said, "No, sir, we are not employed by the Land Reform Office, we are employed by Green Wetland Forestry Industry Co., Ltd. They hired us to pull up a wooden fence on the border here, and we all know that this is to separate from your reserve."
The answer was beyond Yang Shubao's expectations. He asked in surprise: "You were hired by Green Wetland? In other words, this land has been bought by them? I mean when did they buy this land?"
The leading worker shrugged regretfully: "We don't know, I think you have to ask their person in charge."
Yang Shubao frowned. He had been staring at the official website of the Ministry of Land Reform. The Ministry of Land Reform would definitely make an announcement online if it wanted to sell land, but he had never seen any information on the new land sale of Great Saint Lucia Wetland Park on the official website.
His goal was dashed. He originally wanted to establish a good relationship with these workers and ask for some inside information, because almost all the workers hired by the Land Reform Department were related to their internal employees, so he could find useful information from them.
But these people are ordinary workers and have nothing to do with the Land Reform Department.
He returned to the car and called Maitosh from the supervision department of the Land Reform Department. Maitosh was an internal staff member and must have known information about the resettlement and processing of these new lands.
Because Yang Shubao is now a celebrity and has some social energy, Maitosh has a good relationship with him.
After receiving his call, Maitosh started chatting with him enthusiastically. Uncle Yang politely said a few words and threw out the topic and asked him what was going on in this land.
Maitosh did know the sales of public land in the Great Saint Lucia Wetland. He told Yang Shubao: "Mr. Yang, it is probably not that easy for you to get the land here in the future. Some companies linked to the timber business are staring there. They want to play the edge and plant the woods."
Yang Shubao felt a sank: "Then will the land here be auctioned anymore?"
Maitosh sighed and said, "Yes, I'm afraid I won't go through the auction channel anymore. I guess someone has planted trees next to you, right?"
Yang Shubao said: "Not yet, but this day is not far away. They want to plant eucalyptus trees, right?"
McTosh continued to sigh: "No doubt."
He couldn't help Yang Shubao, after all, his position was too low and his authority was too small. The sale of these land was decided by the senior management.
Chapter completed!
