Joja heard Ayou's story and knew that she was infertile, so he easily associated the so-called 'children' with something else.
Curious, he pointed to the leopards in the yard and asked, "Do you have other 'children'? Why don't you release them into the wild?"
Ayou shook her head and said, "Those 'children' were all taken from poachers. I have released the ones that could be released, and the ones left are either injured or have defects. Releasing them would be forcing them to die!"
Joja was truly seeing the brilliance of humanity for the first time from an African like Ayou. It felt strange, a person who struggled to feed themselves, yet helped so many animals...
Kaman once said that true kindness is supported by violence!
Ayou definitely met Kaman's definition of 'kindness'!
This woman had a body like a goddess, had experienced inhumane treatment, yet still had passion for life.
Joja really liked people like her, so he had to keep her no matter what.
But thinking about taking care of a group of 'children', Joja cautiously asked, "How many children do you have?"
Ayou counted on her fingers and said, "One black rhino, two elephants, one baby elephant, one wart hog, two lions, four cheetahs, one black eagle, and the leopard."

After hearing this, Joja couldn't help but be amazed and said, "How do you take care of them all by yourself?"
Ayou shrugged and said, "Hunting, and then I pay some children... "
"You use children to feed the animals?"
Ayou corrected him seriously, "I hire children to find food that elephants and rhinos like to eat. They feed the elephants and rhinos, and then they can also have a good meal."
Joja waved his hand and said with a smile, "I think you've got it wrong. From now on, listen to me. Not only can I make sure your children are well-fed, but I can also help them earn money."
Saying this, Joja looked at the strange eyes of the people around him. He spread his hands and said with a smile, "Don't look at me like that, what I said is true.
Why do we have to raise them ourselves? We can apply for a license and establish an animal rescue station. The eastern countries have national parks, you should have heard of them.
But we have to change our approach. It's unrealistic to rely on SD government subsidies. We have to allow compassionate people to come and work for the animals, and they have to leave behind their food expenses when they leave.
Think about it, a beautiful grassland inn, waking up to the magnificent grassland scenery. After breakfast, you can experience feeding lions or jogging with cheetahs.
How much would people pay to stay in a place like this?
We can even take them on a plane tour of the grasslands. For the more adventurous, we can take them on a walk into the grasslands, hunt a buffalo or a zebra, and let them take the spoils home.
How much should we charge for such services?"
Joja's slightly pyramid scheme-like speech made Kaman's son, Muto, breathe heavily. Unfortunately, Sairimu shattered all the fantasies with one sentence.
"Where are you going to find people to spend so much money here? Occasionally, white people come here because it's more primitive."
Joja laughed and said, "Of course, I was just thinking. But what I said earlier was all true. Even without customers, we can start.
How much does it cost to build a few houses in Dama Jin Ge?
I have acquaintances in the construction team in Huaguo. As long as we get the land, I can draw the plans and find people to build it. We can finish building the inn in half a month.
We can take it slow. The main thing is the security situation. As long as the situation in SD stabilizes completely, it won't be difficult to attract customers.
Whether you believe it or not, if I take a photo with Ayou and post it on Doulang, I can have tens of thousands of fans tomorrow. There will definitely be a few brave and wealthy ones among them. As long as we can provide good service, this line will expand quickly."
Saying this, Joja looked at the excited Muto. He smiled and said, "Don't get too excited. This matter is closely related to the security situation. Whether the business is good or not depends on whether there will be a war.
But I still say, let's start with the matter at hand. It's good to have a beginning and a goal. At the very least, let Ayou's 'children' have a stable place to stay."
Joja was sincere. If he had only wanted to start a company as a cover for his 'business' at first, it was different now. Who wouldn't like a legitimate business?
In fact, Joja didn't have much confidence in his arms business. He had to find buyers to exchange Gaddafi's legacy for money.
This travel company was different. Even if it didn't make money at first, it didn't matter. Take it slow. At this stage, being able to serve as a cover was enough.
And to be honest, building a 'resort' wouldn't cost much because the land here was practically given away.
Sairimu's private airport area had large areas of wilderness nearby. As long as you were willing to spend some money, you could enclose as much land as you wanted.
This place was close to the Blue Nile River, with abundant water resources, and now there was electricity. It wouldn't be difficult to build a not-so-high-end resort.
Joja's investment in the hangar was almost complete. Now it was just a matter of expanding the project a bit more. Sairimu was good at this. As long as you provided enough funds, this old local snake could handle everything properly.
This guy helped Joja with the company procedures and took a commission of $20,000. He also contributed his own airport and plane as an investment, taking up 20% of the company's shares. If Joja continued to invest money, he would be more than happy.
Sairimu probably knew what Joja was doing, but he was a true opportunist. He could guess some things, but he didn't ask or think about them. As long as there was money to be made, he could even give up his curiosity.
As one of the elders of the Dama Jin tribe, Sairimu didn't have much real power, but he had a lot of influence. It was definitely safe for Joja's 'small business' to be under his protection.
Now that he had invested his most important airport and plane, everyone was tied together. Naturally, they had to work hard.
Joja calculated all the remaining funds he had. The dozen or so kilograms of gold couldn't be touched. That was his capital, and when necessary, he could take it and run, convenient and valuable.
Yellow Boss gave him $2 million, and Joja promised to give Nis and Kaman one-fifth each, leaving only $1.2 million.
Minus the $500,000 to buy the helicopter, $100,000 for the three of them to learn to fly, and various other initial investments, Joja now had about less than $900,000 in cash.
Was this enough? Joja felt a little tight because he still needed to purchase a lot of equipment and fuel for the hangar, and if possible, it would be best to hire a professional pilot to ensure the daily operation of the company.
After calculating all this, Joja suddenly felt a bit nervous about his wallet.
The helicopter would arrive in two days, so Joja thought he should take advantage of these few days of free time to figure out how to make more money.
Thinking about money, Joja instinctively took out his business phone, and as if by some strange coincidence, the phone rang!
