After bidding farewell to Mr. and Mrs. Gorman, Weiyan took off alone in the old An-6 transport aircraft and took off again. He first flew along the valley at low altitude to the west side of the Ural Mountains, then followed the mountains all the way north, and finally landed slowly.
On the airport runway next to the hot spring camp.
Compared with the last time I came here, this runway, which was abandoned during the Soviet era, has undergone many changes. The most obvious one is that the trees on both sides of the runway have been cleared, making the field of vision much wider.
Not only that, before he controlled the plane to land, he noticed that the road leading from here to the hot spring camp had also been expanded, and street lights that had not been there before were installed on both sides of the road.
The plane was parked on the tarmac on the side of the runway. When he opened the door and came down, a van was already parked outside.
"Mr. Victor" the young man who drove over greeted warmly.
"Hello" Wei Ran shook hands with the other party, "Have you seen Aurora?"
“At the hot spring campground”
The young man shook hands with Wei Ran and replied, "They came here more than three hours ago. Let me take you there."
"Thanks"
Wei Ran thanked him politely, and while bending down to get into the van, he asked, "Who is here today?"
"A lot of people"
The young man got into the cab and replied, "In addition to the local TV reporters and representatives sent by the mayor, there are also the safety directors of various mines, the police chief of Inta, the person in charge of the education department, and even the forestry department
The emergency and disaster prevention departments have sent people here.”
"So many people?" Wei Ran raised his eyebrows in surprise, "What did they talk about?"
"Mr. Victor, how do I know this kind of thing?"
The young man driving the car scratched the back of his head honestly, "I was responsible for helping Aurora and the others transport their luggage, but the TV cameraman gave me a shot."
Knowing that there was nothing he could ask about this matter, Wei Ran looked at the surrounding tarmac and asked a question that the other party could definitely answer, "Are all the big shots gone now?"
"gone"
The young man driving the car quickly replied, "They left about an hour ago. Alili flew Jima's plane to send them back. Now only Queen Aurora and the others are still at the hot spring camp."
Queen Aurora...
Wei Ran twitched his lips and stopped asking any more questions, letting the young man drive and pull him along the spacious road that he had just noticed from the air to the hot spring camp not far away.
Through the car window, he could clearly see that this road was paved with the slag that can be seen everywhere. In addition to the street lights that can be powered by their own small wind turbines, there are also lights at regular intervals on the roadside.
You can see a crawler bulldozer and a road roller parked in a shed on the side of the road.
Compared to these old machines with a strong Soviet style, he even saw more outrageous objects.
An agricultural tool with Chinese characteristics that is dragged by a crawler bulldozer - "Luqi".
This oversized bucket is made from local materials. It is two 200-liter oil drums welded together in series, and then a thick enough shaft is made in the middle, and then filled with concrete mixed with gravel.
There was no need to ask, he knew just by looking at the calligraphy written in bright red paint on the iron shell of the Luqi: "A smooth journey, a broad road."
This poorly maintained thing was a road construction tool that was casually built by one of Davari's uncles when he came over on a business trip to provide technical support.
Seemingly noticing that Wei Ran's eyes were following the oversized road, the young man driving the car also slowed down slightly and explained, "That is a road construction tool made by my uncle for us. It is very easy to use and cost-effective."
It’s less than two thousand rubles.”
When he said this, the young man's "uncle, comrade" was still pronounced in correct Chinese.
"Do you speak Chinese?" Wei Ran asked in surprise, switching to his native language.
"You really like to joke"
The young man also replied in Chinese, "People who work here and can speak Chinese can almost double their monthly salary. Who would have trouble with money?"
Before Wei Ran could say anything, the young man said with a longing look on his face, "And we have recently been selecting ski instructors to work in Austria this winter. The salary for business trips there is higher, and the basic requirement is that you can communicate in Chinese.
"
"Going to work at the ski resort behind that castle?"
Wei Ran muttered secretly, then asked with a smile, "Do you have any other requests?"
"Yes, there are many requests."
The young man continued to answer in Chinese, "Being able to speak Chinese is only the minimum requirement. You also need to be a local from Inta, and you must have married a local girl from Inta and have children. You must also have enough experience in skydiving."
.”
"parachute?"
"Those who can skydive can hope to stay in Austria's ski resorts and work as paragliding instructors in the summer."
The young man driving the car became more and more hopeful, "We have calculated ourselves that if we can go to Austria to work for a whole year, our income will be almost three to five times that of working in the camp for a whole year, so now everyone is struggling.
I’m not afraid of your laughter, many people are busy getting married and having children in order to meet the conditions.”
"What about you?" Wei Ran asked with a smile, "Are you married?"
"certainly!"
The young man replied proudly, "I got married last year. My wife is an attendant at the cabin camp. We met here. In a few months, our child will be born."
"Congratulations," Wei Ran said sincerely.
"Thanks"
Before the young man finished speaking, the van he drove drove into the mineral deposit along this flat and solid road that seemed not to be affected by the melting permafrost.
Not much has changed here. The hot spring workshop is still there, as is the landmark step-by-step excavator, as are the glass starry sky houses and the greenhouse beyond that has been blocked by a small piece of birch forest.
The only things that didn't match the ones in my memory were a few more roads leading to unknown places, and some trucks and loaders loading slag.
When the car stopped, he also noticed that Suisui, sisters Katenka and Lola were drinking juice and eating fruits in a gauze tent at the entrance of the hot spring workshop. There were also scattered on the table between the four of them.
Pile of mahjong and two binoculars.
"You're finally here"
When Suisui saw Wei Ran get out of the car, she waved and said happily, "Come in! We've been waiting for you for a long time."
"What good news is this?" Wei Ran got into the gauze curtain as he spoke.
"Of course there is good news"
Suisui responded proudly, "All the problems have been solved. We are just waiting for you to come back and fly back on the plane you piloted."
"Tell me what good news there is," Wei Ran said indirectly and took the watermelon juice from Lola.
"We have invested in a vocational school. In exchange, local industrial and mining companies will invest in a museum of prehistoric biology in Inta."
Suisui gave a simple and direct answer that made people hesitate for a while.
"Invest in a vocational school? Exchange for a museum?"
Wei Ran looked at the other party in confusion, "Is there any direct connection between these?"
"Of course"
Suisui snapped her fingers and explained proudly, "As the saying goes, it's better to block than to dredge, and to dredge is better to monopolize. So I talked with the local people and decided to set up an excavation team supported and guided by local officials."
"WTF?"
"Excavation team, an excavation team that excavates mammoth tusks or other ancient biological fossils or remains."
Suisui explained with a smile, "The official will delineate the excavation scope and formulate excavation requirements and backfill requirements. All excavated ancient biological remains, including fossils, will be purchased by the official."
"Then what?" Wei Ran couldn't help but ask.
"A part of the valuable samples will be sent to scientific research schools for research, and the rest will be sent to industrial and mining enterprises for display in the Museum of Ancient Biology invested by Inta. In addition to maintaining operations, the rest of the ticket proceeds will be used to support the local community in Inta."
Benefits will be provided to disabled employees of the forest ranger team and the police force.
Ah, and those disabled miners will also be given priority to work in the museum."
Suisui picked up a glass of freshly squeezed watermelon juice and clinked it with Wei Ran, took a sip and continued to explain, "Those that have no scientific research value will be repurchased by the schools we invest in, and the price will be higher than the official purchase price from the excavation team.
A little higher."
"What next?" Wei Ran asked like a mindless repeater.
“In addition to teaching Chinese courses, the schools we invest in also offer courses such as Oriental bathing culture, greenhouse cultivation technology, field trauma first aid, bone and tooth carving, and video editing. They are all serious courses certified by the local education department and awarded with certificates.
.”
"What the hell is Eastern bathing culture..." Wei Ran twitched the corner of his mouth.
Suisui rubbed her two fingers together and said with a smile, "Especially the bone and tooth carvings, the few local officials who came here today made promises in front of the camera.
Once the school is completed, they will help me invite master carving masters from the three primitive tribes of Komi, Nenets and Yamal to come over and accept apprentices and teach while taking orders to work."
"You...just keep talking," Wei Ran, who no longer knew how to ask, stammered.
"Anyway"
Suisui snapped her fingers, "The mammoth tusks we purchase from the government will be carved by craftsmen from primitive tribes into small objects that have local cultural styles and meet our requirements, and then placed in the facilities invested by local industrial and mining enterprises.
The museum sells them to tourists at a flat price.
We can definitely ensure that there will be no vendors selling mammoth ivory products in the camp, and the museum’s investors and local gangs will also ensure that no one is selling them around the museum.”
Before Wei Ran could say anything, Suisui added, "In the future, all Inta people who have studied bone and dental product carving in the schools we invested in and obtained their graduation certificates will be able to take jobs from school and go home to carve."
, and then send the finished carvings back and put them in the museum for unified sale.
In other words, from now on, except for museums and local officially owned shops selling bone and tooth products, everything else in Inta will be illegal. We will emphasize this point repeatedly when tourists arrive here."
"It's... it's so cruel..."
Wei Ran couldn't help but smacked his lips. After this combo, illegal diggers would have no chance of survival, at least locally.
Even if they dig it out, they can only find ways to sell it further through channels.
But if they had such channels, how could they keep an eye on the tourists in Inta?
not to mention...
Will the locals agree to these people digging up the big bone sticks from the ground that will benefit the locals? Ha! It would be nice not to bury them there and press them with rocks.
“More than that”
Lola helped the two of them refill a glass of watermelon juice while adding, "If you want to join an officially certified excavation team, you must first pass our school training and obtain a certificate, and they also have to pay taxes.
"
"After friendly negotiation"
Suisui cleared her throat, "This part of the tax, as well as their tuition fees, will all be given back to the local children in Inta as a scholarship to reward all children who have the ability to go out of Inta and study further away.
.”
"For the sake of the children's scholarships and the living welfare of disabled relatives and friends, the locals will throw all the bastards who try to break the rules into the brown bear den in the suburbs." Anfisa added faintly.
"Now everyone is tied to our chariots"
Anfiya also added, “Especially those industrial and mining companies, it is foreseeable that they will no longer have to worry about the trouble caused by disorderly mining.
The most important thing is that a school and a museum will provide a large number of jobs and technical talents."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "In addition, Misha will become the principal of that school in the near future."
Suisui said with a smile, "And it won't be long, we have almost chosen the school site."
"So fast?" Wei Ran looked at Suisui blankly.
"There are enough abandoned factories in the local area"
Suisui spread her hands, "We have been promised that we can choose any of the abandoned factories around the city. Misha seems to have a goal. When we come here next time, maybe we should call each other Principal Misha.
Already."
Having said this, Suisui patted her forehead and said, "Stop talking about me. Where is the person you picked up? Where did he go?"
"Where's the hotel?" Wei Ran replied nonchalantly.
"Hotel?!" Suisui suddenly couldn't sit still, "Aren't you afraid that he will run away?!"
"Where can I run?"
Wei Ran waved his hands nonchalantly, "His wife and children are still in our hands."
"What if he is a scumbag?"
Suisui had already picked up her briefcase as she spoke, "No, no, no, go back and take a look. If he runs away while we are gone and becomes aggressive and hurts people, it will be troublesome.
Kamei, call Alili and ask him to get ready. We will fly to Kazan immediately after we return and notify Misha."
Wei Ran glanced at Anfiya discreetly, and the latter took advantage of her sister's call to make an OK gesture discreetly.
Seeing this, Wei Ran calmed down, happily took Suisui's briefcase, followed her out of the screen tent, and got into the van parked not far away.
"What are those slag trucks for?"
Just when the van was about to start running, Wei Ran curiously pointed at a truck driving past them and asked.
"Building roads"
Suisui replied matter-of-factly, "Build a road that will not delay sightseeing or cross-country travel. This is the starting point and the end point is Inta."
"Don't we have an airport and planes?" Wei Ran asked in confusion.
"In the winter a few months ago, two flights made an emergency landing at our airport due to a snowstorm. It is close to the Ural Mountains. The impact of the snowstorm was not great, and the landing conditions are much better."
Suisui explained proudly, "Thanks to my preparations so far in advance, I finally got the chance.
Therefore, during this negotiation, the local government has agreed to allow our tourist flights to land directly here in the future.”
"Where's the road?"
“I always go to Inta”
Suisui said with a smile, "So I plan to open up the road that was left and abandoned in the Soviet era, so that tourists can go there by themselves, either by driving themselves or taking a reindeer sleigh. Anyway, if you stay one more day, you can earn more money.
"
Hearing this, Wei Ran shook his head and decided not to ask. He seemed to be making a lot of money by helping to investigate the historical truth.
But looking at it now, as far as making money is concerned, this girl Suisui may have left herself out a long time ago.
"It seems that I can finally eat soft food," Wei Ran said with great joy.
"I'll definitely make you fat and white," Suisui responded with a joking smile.
Returning to the nearly private airport runway, after Wei Ran called Liu Yiwan in advance, he did not use the tower control at all. He greeted Suisui and others to get on the plane and sit down, and then controlled the plane to fly lightly.
Evening sky.
When his plane landed again at Inta, the iconic off-road vehicle had already parked on the edge of the tarmac in advance. Even Liu Yiwan stood astride the front of the car with his hands behind his back, obviously having been waiting for a long time.
.
“Stop feeding mosquitoes while standing”
Wei Ran waved to Liu Yiwan, "Take your things, it's time for us to leave here."
Before he finished speaking, he had already taken the suitcases that Misha had sent to him, Suisui and others, and boarded the private plane next to him piloted by Alili.
Glancing at Suisui and other girls who were saying goodbye to Misha, Liu Yiwan pressed the cash, passport and the mobile phone Weiran gave him in his jacket pocket, and followed him into the cabin honestly but unceremoniously.
.
Wei Ran waved his hand and said, "Sit somewhere by yourself."
"Is this your plane?" Liu Yiwan asked subconsciously.
"It's my friend's, I borrowed it for use." Wei Ran answered nonchalantly.
Hearing this, Liu Yiwan didn't ask any questions, silently walked to the seat at the end of the plane and sat down.
A moment later, Suisui and others were also saying goodbye to Misha, and walked into the cabin carrying some small gifts that the other party had helped prepare.
While waiting for the plane to take off, Suisui glanced at Liu Yiwan who was sitting far away, then sat next to Wei Ran and whispered into his ear, "What are you going to do with that person?"
? Let’s talk about it first, he can’t be left at home, after all, he has injured so many people and it’s too dangerous.”
"Don't worry, we definitely won't arrange it at home." Wei Ran assured with a smile.
"Do you have a plan?"
Suisui asked, "Where should we go? Work as security guards at a studio? Or maybe send the whole family to run the Aurora Tavern in the small town of Tula."
"I originally planned to let their family go to the Aurora Tavern," Wei Ran said with a smile.
"So you have better plans?"
"Yes, but I can't say it yet."
Wei Ran thought for a while and then leaned into the other person's ear and added in a very low voice, "I have already thought about how to arrange it for him and his wife. However, I don't know where to send their two children yet."
,What do you recommend?"
"Don't you plan on letting them be together?"
Suisui also whispered into Wei Ran's ear, making the two of them look like they were hugging each other intimately.
"Hold the emperor to order the princes, otherwise I can't trust him."
As the plane began to slide onto the runway, Wei Ran whispered into the other person's ear and added, "Two children, one will stay with us, and the other will be arranged to live in a safe place."
"You want to keep one by your side? Why?" Suisui asked puzzledly.
"After all, their family has a special origin."
Wei Ran replied in a low voice, "One of their children is staying with us. In the future, this child can prove that Liu Yiwan and his wife and another child died in yesterday's conflict with the poacher team.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! On the other hand, this child who remains on the surface is in a state that may be noticed at any time, and therefore needs our protection at any time."
"So Liu Yiwan and his wife need us at any time and will not have any objections."
Suisui, who had caught up with the train of thought, wrinkled her nose in disgust, "What bastard taught you this method? It's so disgusting."
"Gorman" Wei Ran leaned close to Suisui's ear and explained in a very low voice, "The couple will be their neighbors in the future."
As soon as these words reached Suisui's ears along with the rumbling noise of the plane taxiing, her eyes widened.
Naturally, this naughty girl knew exactly who the two "couples" Wei Ran just mentioned were referring to.
"It seems we really need to keep a child with us." After the girl reacted, her attitude immediately changed.
At this moment, the plane also left the ground and flew lightly into the sky.
After the plane stabilized, Suisui, who had just fallen into silence, asked a new question, "Which one do you plan to keep with you?"
“It doesn’t matter”
Wei Ran replied casually that he was thinking about a more important matter - where to place Gorman and his wife.
"Then keep that girl by your side. It fits your personality of collecting girls."
There was no ridicule in Suisui's words, but she was extremely serious, "Compared to having another girl, the sudden appearance of a little boy around you is really eye-catching. It's hard for others not to notice him."
"You like to collect beautiful girls, right?" A certain historian whose innocence was stained snorted angrily.
"That little boy is in poor health and is not suitable to live around us."
Suisui gave a second reason, "For the sake of the child's health, it is more realistic to find a quiet, comfortable place for him to live without being disturbed."
"Do you have any good suggestions?"
Wei Ran simply stopped thinking about arranging the Gorman family for a moment, turned to look at the other person and asked.
"Of course," Suisui snapped her fingers with a smile, "and it can be said to be the best choice."
"Where?" Wei Ran couldn't help but become interested.
"Volgograd, Golonid Island, Marta's House."
Suisui gave her suggestion with a smile, "It's far away from the city, and the circle is relatively closed. You can go to and from school at the same time. You won't come into contact with strangers at all, and there are enough playmates of the same age.
And as long as we say hello to Mr. Alexander in advance, he will not appear in any photos or shots.
Just wait patiently for a few years, and when he grows up, you won't have to worry about him being recognized anymore.
When he reaches adulthood, he can choose to study in Volgograd. After graduation, it is not a problem whether he stays at the Marta House to work or asks Mr. Alexander to help arrange a job.
Most importantly, at least at this stage, Sister Zoya is there to provide the medical assistance he is likely to need anytime and anywhere."
Having said this, Suisui took a deep breath and said, "So, that is the most suitable place for him to live that I can think of."
Wei Ran thought for a while and nodded, "Then I'll listen to you and send that child to Marta's House."
"Have they... met?" Suisui asked in a very low voice, leaning against Wei Ran's ear.
"Um"
Wei Ran nodded and replied close to the other person's ear, "They are right here..."
"Don't tell me"
Suisui pushed Wei Ran's head aside before he could finish his words, "I don't want to know, otherwise I won't be able to dream at ease."
"I plan to go to the United States soon"
Wei Ran promptly changed the topic to something that sounded more relaxed, "Do you want to go with me?"
"Not going"
This time, Suisui refused Wei Ran's invitation without even thinking about it, and explained with a look of disgust, "That shabby place is too unsafe. I still dream about those people who broke into the women's restroom from time to time."
As for the bastards, especially the one who was vomited by me with the mop, it was really disgusting."
