Bai Yu and his group of eight spent more than half a month traveling in Europe, but in Africa, known as the poorest continent on Earth, they stayed for more than a month, almost two months, before hurriedly embarking on their journey back home.
Bai Yu and his team arrived in Africa in mid-June, but their actual journey through Africa did not begin until the end of June.
Although Bai Yu said he wanted to travel through Africa and see its various terrains, landforms, and cultural landscapes.
However, putting this into practice is not so easy; it requires a lot of preliminary work, setting up a route, and various preventative measures.
In order to ensure a smooth journey through Africa, Bai Yu paid Wang Haojun's company another £100,000. This was the money left over from their previous trip to Europe, which was now being used as Wang Haojun's salary.
This wasn't a last-minute price increase by their company; this trip through Africa wasn't originally planned, so they needed to redesign the route, and their company also had to arrange some support staff.
Supply points were set up in various places, and the state arranged liaisons. When they arrived in Lexin, someone took care of the rest.
This requires a lot of manpower and resources, so it's only right that Bai Yu spends more money.
Originally, Wang Haojun's company was not planning to take him in, since Bai Yu had hired three teams of security personnel from their company this time, and not only did no danger occur throughout the entire process, but Wang Haojun and the others even gained a lot of weight.
They spent 30 million to hire three security teams, but after a few months, the security personnel did nothing and even gained a lot of weight. This made the people at the security company feel a little embarrassed. Was this money too easy to earn?
Then they were going to give the service to Bai Yu and his team for free, but Bai Yu didn't agree. After all, the security company wasn't having an easy time either, and they were doing dangerous work. How could they let them work for free?
However, Bai Yu's funds were limited at the moment, and he couldn't give more than he wanted, so he had no choice but to give away the last 100,000 pounds.
It was through this trip to Africa that Bai Yu and the others witnessed what true chaos was.
Once, when they passed through a small African country, the chaos in this country opened their eyes. It was a small country, about the size of a city in our country, but it had several governments and more than a dozen armed forces.
That's pretty impressive. You know, even during the most chaotic times in our country, there was never a city with several regimes and a dozen or so armed groups.
However, it does exist in Africa, and Bai Yu and his companions witnessed it firsthand.
Although this place is chaotic, it is still safe.
Isn't it amazing that in such a chaotic country, safety is still guaranteed? It's simply outrageous.
Of course, the "safety" mentioned here refers to a few foreigners; the locals here treat human life like dirt.
During his journey through Africa, Bai Yu did not witness the killing process firsthand, but he saw the scene of the death and heard about gunshots not far away.
During this process, Bai Yu also did several live broadcasts. This time, he even spent money to use satellite traffic to broadcast some things happening in Africa.
He didn't do this with any other intention than to say that the people of Africa are living in misery, nor did he have any intention of donating money to the region.
He simply wanted to illustrate how hard-won peace is, how hard-won our own family's life is, and to highlight the hardships faced by certain members of our family.
Even if he were to donate money, he would donate it to our own family.
To paraphrase Sister Han, we can't even manage our own family affairs, so how can he have the energy to meddle in other people's affairs?
Even though he didn't have the energy to deal with other people's affairs, Bai Yu still had several ships in China collect old clothes and then sent them to Africa.
The clothes were donated by their company, but not to the people in Africa; they were donated to Wang Haojun's security company.
These items are worthless to security companies; they wouldn't try to make money selling these old clothes.
Although they can't be sold for money, they can create a lot of other value in this food-scarce and clothing-scarce African continent.
For example, donating to certain regimes or armed groups can help security companies gain their goodwill and make things easier for them in the future.
This can be considered as some compensation from Bai Yu to the security company, since the security company's fee for the final trip through Africa was really low.
After nearly two months of traveling through Africa and protecting eight people, they only spent £100,000. No matter how you look at it, this white fishing trip was a huge success for them.
As for how they eventually left Africa and why they were preparing to return home, that's a long story.
Originally, after Bai Yu and his group finished their trip to Africa, they planned to take a trip to the Middle East to see what is known as the richest region in the world.
Just as Bai Yu and his group finished their trip to Africa and were preparing to go to the Middle East, Wang Haojun told them that they couldn't go to the Middle East now because things were about to get chaotic there.
It was late August, just before September.
When Wang Haojun shared this news, there was absolutely no information about chaos in the Middle East, not only domestically but also on foreign websites.
However, this news was spread like wildfire among those security companies or international mercenary organizations, with all sorts of detailed and seemingly credible accounts.
The reason these organizations care about this news is because it's related to the money they can make; they can't help but take it seriously.
After all, the world is already chaotic enough. The situation in Russia and Russia is not over yet, and now there are reports that the Middle East is about to descend into chaos.
This is great news for those organizations, fantastic news.
Yes, that's right, it's good news. You don't actually think these organizations don't want war, do you? If there's no chaos, where will they make money?
The more chaotic the world becomes, the more money these mercenaries and security organizations can make.
Especially in the incredibly wealthy Middle East, these organizations can make even more money when things get chaotic there, since they are already much richer.
However, this situation is not so friendly to ordinary people like Bai Yu. Their travel plans have been disrupted, and they can no longer go to the Middle East.
That's why Bai Yu, on Wang Haojun's advice, decided to sail home directly.
If the world gets into chaos, our own home is the safest place. Let's put travel on hold for now and go another time.
After all, with our strength, after these years of development, although we haven't reached the point of sweeping everything, we are still unmatched by anyone except a few countries.
But those individual countries are struggling to manage their own affairs right now, so do you think they have time to care about us? Or rather, do they dare to care?
Bai Yu couldn't quite describe her feelings about this short-lived global trip. If you were to say it wasn't perfect, Bai Yu wouldn't feel any regret.
On the contrary, he was full of anticipation for returning to China. He had been away for half a year and it was time to go home.
