Physician’s Odyssey
Chapter 1572
After Ye Ling changed his clothes, he appeared in front of the caravan leader again. The caravan leader was petrified. He could hardly believe that Ye Ling was the originally thin, black and yellow oriental "man".
Ye Ling put a prepared pile of Khenpo Tuo rupees in front of the caravan leader and said in English with a smile: "This money is the balance I gave you."
The caravan leader showed greed in his eyes. He counted the money in his hand, and smiled happily: "Twice as much as you promised me."
Ye Ling waved his hand and smiled relaxedly: "The extra money is a reward for you. If you didn't help me, I couldn't meet the people I want to meet so easily."
The caravan leader was a little fascinated by Ye Ling's charming smile. He didn't expect the Chinese woman to be so charming and passionate, and his daughter-in-law could not compare with Ye Ling.If she follows the caravan in this dress, even if she pays more money, I am afraid it will be difficult to guarantee that her partners will not be random.
The caravan leader finally came back to his senses and smiled: "Thank you for your approval. If you need my help in the future, please feel free to contact me."
Ye Ling nodded and smiled: "Okay, I will definitely contact you if necessary." She thought to herself, if it weren't for Su Tao, how could she be so crazy, such crazy things, Even if it happened in this life, it wouldn't be in this place.
In fact, following the caravan, she faced collapse several times. Not only did she have to face the harsh environment, but as a woman, she had to fight her wits if she wanted to conceal her gender.
The caravan leader returned to his camp, his subordinates leaned in his ear, and whispered: "The chief of the tribe has been waiting for you for a long time."
The caravan leader nodded solemnly, then walked into the tent, with a smile on his face, and said in native language: "Chief Amuheng, sorry, I have kept you waiting."
The old chief bowed to the leader of the caravan and said curiously: "Dear Mr. Esmond, I don't know if you can ask me to come over. What's your order?"
Caravan leader Esmond sighed softly and said, "Chief Amuheng, I'm here to inform you that we may not be able to come to your tribe to trade for a long time."
Chief Amuheng widened his eyes and said in surprise: "Why? We have been cooperating for so many years. If you don't come anymore, wouldn't we be unable to obtain some necessities?"
Esmond sighed: "Although we did not lose money this time, as far as we know, you have obtained a lot of supplies from this group of Chinese people, and you don't need us in a short time. You should know that your tribe is a caravan In the farthest place, in order to reach you, we need to spend a lot of manpower and energy. In fact, if we walk in your tribe, we can’t make much money. It has always been based on our friendship with you. Losing business."
Chief Amuheng reacted quickly. He realized what Esmond meant and decided to stop trading with his tribe.Chief Amuheng said solemnly: "Our transactions are mutually beneficial. Although the location is relatively remote, the various specialty products we provide can bring you huge profits. Please do not change, and we have a good cooperative relationship. ."
Esmond sighed leisurely, "I have no doubts about our friendship, but I am a businessman and cannot do business at a loss. You have a relationship with these Chinese people. I am worried that because they appear, I will It’s not profitable, so it’s better to inform you in advance, our cooperation ends here."
Chief Amuheng said anxiously: "Please don't think so. These Chinese people are just passing by. After we leave, we need a caravan to provide the tribe with necessities. I can assure you of this."
Esmond's complexion eased a lot, and said: "Well, I want to see some substantive actions to prove that you and this group of Chinese people draw a clear line."
Chief Amuheng gritted his teeth and said: "Please explain what we need to do."
A relaxed smile appeared at the corner of Esmond's mouth, and he leaned into Chief Amuheng's ear and whispered a few words in a low voice.Chief Amuheng's expression turned embarrassed first, and then became determined, "Okay, I will do what you want. As for our trade, we have to continue."
Although Esmond was not a gentleman, Amuheng knew that his tribe could not do without him.Now he uses the suspension of trade as an excuse, but he has no choice but to agree.
After Chief Amuheng left, one of his subordinates got into the tent and saw Esmond drinking tea leisurely, and curiously asked: "Boss, why do we disturb the relationship between the tribe and the Chinese people?"
Esmond put down the tea cup, a sneer appeared in his eyes, and said: "Do you think this group of Chinese people will bring any changes to the tribe?"
The subordinates nodded and said: "They gave a lot of things to the indigenous people. It is estimated that when they leave, they will also leave equipment such as generators and rice cookers, because the cost of taking away is greater than the cost of purchasing. With electricity, their lives will change drastically."
Esmond nodded heavily and said: "Yes. These Chinese people will ruin our business. We can make money now because the tribe’s aborigines know nothing about the outside world, but the arrival of these Chinese people will change. All of this. If the Chinese people communicate with this group of indigenous people closely and change their horizons and thoughts, can our current method of bartering for huge profits still have an effect?"
There was a confused look in his eyes, and it was obvious that there was still a big gap between his IQ and his boss.
Esmond rolled his eyes at Niu Pianqin, sighed secretly, and concluded: "In short, we have to cut off the connection between these primitive tribes and the outside world. The more ignorant and closed they are, the better it is for us to make money."
For example, a pill for treating colds and fever can be exchanged for an antelope skin. But if the primitive tribe has contact with the outside world, how can he do such a profitable business?
The caravan formed by Esmond took advantage of asymmetric information. Now that the Huaxia program group comes to the tribe, it will affect this asymmetry, which Esmond does not want to see.
Esmond is a very clever person. He knows that a single spark can start a prairie fire. If this group of Chinese people affects this tribe, it will definitely affect other tribes slowly. Once the situation is complete, he may I have to end my caravan for almost 30 years.
Nor can I blame Esmond for crossing the river and tearing down the bridge. This group of Chinese people can be regarded as a cutoff for people and money. I must find a way to change the unknown risk.
Esmond's plan was not complicated. He used intimidation to let the chief know the consequences of continuing to cooperate with these Chinese people, and he would stop coming to this tribe to trade.
Although the life of the tribe can be self-sufficient, but without caravans, in the long run, it will definitely fall into poverty.There are many tribes in Khenbuta, and there are often rushes between tribes. When a tribe falls behind, it will be annexed by other tribes sooner or later. It is okay for women, but men will definitely be ruthlessly killed.
Esmond believed that Chief Amuheng would carefully consider his "requests."
...
When Su Tao went to the tribe to treat the local indigenous children, Chen Xiao found Zhao Fan with anxious expression on his face.
Zhao Fan knew that something extraordinary must have happened, and hurriedly got into the car with Chen Xiao.Chen Xiao is a producer of the show, one level higher than Zhao Fan. Chen Xiao is responsible for the funding and network resources of the show. As for the choice of director, Chen Xiao has the final say.
If the program group is compared to a company, Chen Xiao is the chairman and Zhao Fan is the chief executive officer.Therefore, although Zhao Fan is arrogant and arrogant, and his eyes are above the top, everyone looks down upon Chen Xiao, but he still respects Chen Xiao. They have done many shows together, and there are many popular boutiques.
"Sister Xiao, what's the matter?" Zhao Fan is two years older than Chen Xiao, but like everyone in the show group, he likes to call her "Sister Xiao".
Chen Xiao shook his head and sighed: "The progress of the filming may be delayed. Just now the guide communicated with us. The local indigenous people were willing to arrange two people to take us into the grassland, but now they will not provide assistance."
Zhao Fan frowned, wondering: "How can you sit on the ground and raise the price?"
Chen Xiao smiled bitterly: "It's not that the price of the land is raised, it is that there is no room for negotiation. The reason I learned from the guide is that the caravans and the local aboriginals instigated the separation, which caused the indigenous people to become hostile to us."
Zhao Fan said angrily: "We are not bad to those businessmen, and we also bought goods for them and gave them to the aborigines. Isn't this a story of a farmer and a snake?"
Zhao Fan felt the seriousness of the matter. Without the local aborigines leading the team into the East African prairie, not to mention the smooth filming of the program, it would be unknown if he could survive.
Chen Xiao explained patiently: "I also analyzed this and studied the caravan’s intention to do so. Our coming to this tribe is equivalent to breaking the caravan’s financial path. We brought so much to the local natives. There are many items, enough for them to live for half a year, and the quality of the products is different from those provided by the caravans. Although the tribe’s indigenous people have not seen the world, they are not fools. In the future, the caravans will want to be the same as before, and relax. It is too difficult to make money in the land. And the caravan is worried that we will have too close ties with the tribe.
Zhao Fan slammed his fist vigorously, and said in a depressed voice: "I didn't expect those businessmen to be so cunning."
"People die for money, and birds die for food." Chen Xiao said with emotion, "We cut their financial way. They shame us, and it is excusable. The East African prairie is full of dangers. Originally, the tribe only arranged for two people to take it. We go deeper, and I don’t think it is safe. Now that no one takes us in, the risk is too great. We can’t ignore the lives of so many people just to make the show.”
