After Chen Chen finished handling the affairs of the Swiss branch and left the primate research project to Samuel, he was ready to leave for Namibia.
By chance, there is a direct flight from Zurich to Namibia. It takes less than fifteen hours to cross the Mediterranean and Africa and arrive at Walvis Bay on the east coast of the Atlantic Ocean.
It's just that the aircraft used for the flight is a small and old-fashioned aircraft with no more than fifty seats, regardless of class, and the flight service is extremely poor.
Although General Manager Wen En offered to help contact him for a private jet, he was rejected by Chen Chen. He was born in a working-class family and could not afford such luxury.
On the second day, Chen Chen didn't let anyone say goodbye and got on the plane alone.
The entire journey was silent.
In the early morning of the third day, Chen Chen arrived at this magical country that he had long heard of.
From the late 19th century to the early 20th century, Namibia was colonized by Germany and later ruled by South Africa. It was not until the 1990s that it was able to break away from South Africa.
This is a country mainly engaged in minerals, agriculture, fishery and tourism. It has a land area of 820,000 square kilometers but a population of only 2.53 million.
At the end of December, it was already cold enough in Switzerland that he needed to wear a down jacket, but after arriving in Namibia, Chen Chen stripped down to only a shirt and a thin jacket.
But it would be a mistake to think that Namibia is as hot as the rest of Africa.
Because of the altitude, Namibia is not only not hot, but also very comfortable.
March, April and May every year are the seasons with the highest temperatures in Naminia, but even then the highest temperature does not exceed 30 degrees. July, August and September are the lowest temperatures, about 25 degrees during the day and 25 degrees at night. Around fourteen or five degrees.
It can be said that it is like spring all year round.
We had just gotten off the plane. Although it was late at night, there was already a long queue at the immigration point. Most of them were white people who came to travel. Occasionally, I saw a few yellow people, but they also smelled like sticks.
"I'm sorry, please give in, give in..."
Just when Chen Chen was frowning at the long queue in front of him, a group of bureaucratic black people surrounded by air police came towards Chen Chen and the newly disembarked passengers.
Such a large formation immediately attracted the attention of tourists at the immigration point.
Chen Chen took a look, and sure enough, Qian Wenhuan was among this group of black people.
The group of people stopped in front of Chen Chen. Qian Wenhuan took two steps forward and whispered in Chinese, "Boss, Namibian officials are here to greet you."
As he spoke, he pointed at the black men in English and said, "This is Mr. Setson, the director of Walvis Bay International Airport, and next to him is Mr. Hikuyele, the deputy director of the Namibia Investment Department."
Then, he turned around and said loudly to the two of them, "The person next to me is Mr. Chen Chen, the chairman of Blackwatch Company!"
"Mr. Chen Chen, I have long admired your name!"
The two of them suddenly showed warm smiles and stepped forward to hold Chen Chen's hands.
What’s even more surprising is that the black man named Hikuyele directly spoke in half-baked Chinese, “Zhenmi Xiangdao, Ning Jingran is so young, which made Wo couldn’t help but think of a term of address in your district—laughing. Young hero!"
"That's right, the same goes for Wo!" Sethson, the person in charge of the international airport on the side, immediately echoed.
"You two are welcome. I'm just a businessman. Don't be so grand." Chen Chen waved his hands quickly.
"How can that be so generous!"
Xikuyele's expression suddenly turned serious, and he said sincerely, "Wo has been fond of Chongzhou Wenhua since he was a child. Chongzhou has a history of thousands of years. It is the only civilized country in the world. Wenhua has a long history, and Ning is here. There is only one word to describe Ren Cai - Ren Zhong Long Feng!"
Sethson echoed, "Same goes for Waugh..."
Chen Chen wiped his sweat and said, "Thank you for the compliment."
"Wo still remembers that when Wo was away studying in Chongzhou, the Ni people were so enthusiastic about Wo. Now that Ning has come to Wo Men's Guo Family, please consider this place as your Guo Family."
Hikuyele continued to flatter the horse, "After all, there is a saying in Chongzhou - Cao Yingxin is in Han when he is planted!"
Sethson nodded solemnly, "Same to Wo!"
“…”
Qian Wenhuan on the side saw that Xikuyele seemed to be talking about mountains and rivers, and quickly interrupted, "Mr. Xikuyele, our chairman must be tired after more than ten hours of sailing. Can we go first?" …”
"Oh, Ning, look at this coward Wo, how could he forget about this..."
Only then did Hikuyele pat his head, quickly take out a stack of documents, and said in English, "Here are the entry procedures and your passport. We have prepared them for you."
"Thank you." Chen Chen nodded his thanks and Qian Wenhuan took it on his behalf.
"We have reserved a luxurious suite for you at the Flamenco Villa Boutique Hotel in Walvis Bay. Please move over." Hikuyele turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation.
It was only when Chen Chen left the immigration office that he truly saw the true appearance of the country Namibia.
Although it is known as Walvis Bay International Airport, it is actually just an ordinary airstrip. The low bungalows are located on the endless plains, full of the atmosphere of nature, and you can even clearly see the vast starry sky above your head.
Namibia has several internationally certified starry sky reserves. Because there is no light pollution and the climate is dry, it has become the most suitable area for observing the stars in the world.
These are scenes that you can never see in a bustling commercial city.
Although the Namibian officials were a little over-enthusiastic, they still had the right sense of propriety. After surrounding Chen Chen in the car, the two of them left one after another and made an appointment for a meeting tomorrow evening.
"Boss, this is Cheng Chao. Instruct the people sent from the head office." As soon as he got in the car, Qian Wenhuan pointed at the driver and said.
"Boss." The driver turned around, revealing a young face in his twenties with a shy smile.
"I remember you." Chen Chen looked at the young man carefully, "I heard that you are the retired ace?"
"Yeah." Cheng Chao nodded sheepishly, seeming a little shy.
"By the way, boss, this is what you want." Qian Wenhuan suddenly thought of something and took out a dark object from his waist, "Fully automatic, 20-round capacity super large magazine."
Chen Chen reached out to take it, and then he saw clearly that it was a Glock 18c in his hand.
[Glock 18c, total length 185mm, barrel length 114mm, weight 620g, barrel diameter 9mm, muzzle velocity 360 meters per second, fires 9mm bullets, muzzle kinetic energy 530J]
All the data about this gun automatically appeared in his mind. Chen Chen nodded, holding it in his hand and playing with it gently, "Does the other party know?"
The other party here undoubtedly refers to the Namibian official.
"I didn't let them know. After all, it is a fully automatic weapon and it is still controlled."
Qian Wenhuan said uncertainly, "But even if I knew, I would probably turn a blind eye."
Chen Chen didn't speak anymore, but leaned his head on the back of the chair and gently closed his eyes.
Seeing this, Qian Wenhuan quickly made a gesture to Cheng Chao. Cheng Chao nodded, started the vehicle, and drove along the asphalt highway towards the urban area of Walvis Bay Port...
