312 In anticipation, a ship has come to Angola from the country
The company is huge, the whole company hundreds of men work day after day, in addition to work is to eat and sleep, look up at the whole company can not even see a woman, so the days of stationing abroad are always so boring.
Who made our family poor, since the poor can't do anything but sell their strength. Of course, boredom returned homeless, the days had to continue, and later when the domestic headquarters said that the goods had left Tianjin Port and sent over, it felt like the days had expectations.

Angola is no better than in the country, which claims to be one of the countries with the highest prices in the world, and I have heard that prices are more expensive than japan. I have not been to Japan, but all the Chinese goods in Angola are sold to the domestic price, but the unit is IN US dollars, for example, a bottle of black tea means three yuan in China, and in Angola it is also three yuan, but it refers to three DOLLARs.
I think the main reason is that the country doesn't produce anything, and in my memory it seems that everything except for the production of some beer and beverages is all imported, of course, not even cement, and then after the cement factory, the Congo came to pull cement. Therefore, of course, imported materials are more expensive.

Basically everything used in our company is transported from the country by sea, and at the beginning of each year, we start to make plans, with plans reported by various types of work, and the kitchen by the kitchen manager or logistics minister. Hospitality supplies are planned by the logistics manager.

People don't care about the material plan on the project, and no one discusses it when it is reported more or less. And the infirmary doctors are full of people, this newspaper a few boxes of Huoxiang Zhengqi water that water reports a few boxes of Rendan, and even more said to report a few boxes of family planning supplies, like antihypertensive drugs what is more varied. Well, every night after work, the infirmary has become a large party scene.

And we compare this piece of welfare, like shampoo, shower gel what is reported according to the total number of people three times, that is, each person is issued three times a year, beer (glass bottle) management personnel each one box, hospitality cigarettes according to different positions each person receives a different brand of cigarettes ... In short, it's a mess.

The details of the material let the leader sign after the use of QQ to transmit to the country, the head office after the signing of the domestic procurement department began to find goods, like me what will also be people need more things, such as because the workers who died in Angola when cremated need to video, then I have to report a camera, some people say that running back and forth to the construction site is more tired to report two electric vehicles ... After the report, I asked the domestic procurement department every few days how it was? Did you approve it? Like these two or three small things mixed in tens of thousands of details do not show anything, the most cola is that the brother in charge of the canteen reported hundreds of bottles of orange cans and more than a thousand bottles of Beijing second pot head... Well, Wuliangye and Maotai are also quite a few, about twenty boxes. Mad ah, in fact, not much, 800 people a bottle of liquor will use up 800 bottles, Wuliangye and Maotai are mainly used for hospitality and New Year's festivals. Dozens of cadres drank, that is not much.

In anticipation, I finally got the QQ of my domestic colleagues, and they quietly said that the ship was set off, what is the 003 ship? It takes about two or three months to get there at sea. Well, since then we have been looking forward to the arrival of this ship every day. If nothing else, the canned oranges are drooling.
Figure 8: Something that is out of date
After a few months of forgetting, finally waiting for the ship to come, the ship that came pulled many company containers, the black work was slow and rough, they asked us to send people to the ship to find our own containers, so the company sent a warehouseman over.
The warehouse keeper didn't send the container back for three days, and the phone call was unclear, so I went to the port with the party secretary to have a look. As a result, our containers were loaded underneath, and the negroes worked slowly and could not be unloaded for a moment and a half. No way, wait.

After a few more days, our containers finally arrived one after another, and after checking the box number, we began to open the box nervously and excitedly. Saying that it is nervous and exciting is mainly to have a list in hand, know what is inside but eager to see. That's it.
Figure 10: The container that has just arrived
According to past experience, we first took pictures, took pictures of the box number, box lock, because they knew that I had ancestral photography skills, and photographed the cleaning and cremation process of three or four people, so this task fell to me, although I said that others took the same, the result was that you took photos of dead people won the praise of your family and gave you praise.
The main function of taking pictures is to record the process, because after opening the box, the goods inside will be damaged a lot of times, so in order to facilitate the claim, so the photo is taken.
In fact, I wanted to give young people a chance, so I took a warehouse manager and four or five black people to open the box. I taught him photography while working. The weather in Africa is fine, the ultraviolet rays are quite strong, and the container has been dry for a day and when it is opened in the afternoon, a heat wave spews out. I think it's seventy degrees. Black workers are bare-chested workers, I can't do it, in the sun for a day to sunburn, and then heard that long-term sunburn is easy to get skin cancer, scared dare to wear long sleeves.
Figure 11: Damaged goods
A lot of times after opening the box is like Figure 11, if it is an ordinary wire or cable or shovel or something, it is fine, but if it is a glue or paint this kind of thing, it is very unlucky, and the goods in Figure 11 will lose about half.
Figure 12: Damaged goods
In this case, we only come out little by little, and after putting together the good and the useful, we assess how much we have lost. Then replenish in time according to the progress of the project.
Figure 13: Black people riding on an electric car
Our favorite is still to open those containers containing hospitality supplies, because of the acceptance, so for those things that are imported in addition to the necessary to see the production date, the packaging is damaged, the most necessary taste, like what canned ah, lunch meat, and two pots of what is not valuable can be properly tasted.
For Wuliangye Moutai or something, I don't dare, that thing is too expensive. Fill in the list after tasting in the morning, how much is on the list sent from home, how much is received, how much is damaged... Well, I admit that all the tastings are declared broken.
Figure 13 is an electric car sent from China, I said at the time that this may be the first two electric vehicles in Angola, right? The black man who helped us with the goods may be the first black man in Angola to take pictures on an electric car.

After the container arrived, they did not know that the workers heard from there that there was wine coming, so they said that they wanted to drink some, and after careful consideration, the leader first issued a bottle of two pots and a bottle of canned food in a dormitory. Although it was not a New Year's festival that night, everyone was as happy as the New Year.
Good wine three patrols are also drunk, the five tastes are difficult to hide the wind and dust. Ling Ling looked back and looked haggard, raising a glass to wipe the tears from his eyes. Because I have experienced a lot, I am sober, I know the fun, I know the gains and losses, and I know the advance and retreat. Life is not just a one-way road that cannot be returned after walking, in fact, in the end, everyone's life is full of five tastes, and all the details can become poetry. Come on, bro.
