However, the competition for profits in this area was more intense than the competition for mining.
The reason was very simple. Mining in Africa required investment, but taking advantage of the ignorance of the local people to make black money didn't cost anything at all.
They only needed to open their mouths, and they could get everything they wanted. No one would let go of this kind of business.
In fact, Lai Wen also felt guilty about doing this kind of thing. After all, it was a heartless thing. Therefore, he handed over the business to Wang Wen to handle.
After all, Wang Wen, a guy with facial paralysis, would never let people see his emotions from his expression. Whether he felt guilty or not, Lai Wen didn't know.
But there was one thing, the business had always been going well.
Every day, they would have a special place to spend a small amount of money to "buy" these poor persecuted children. Of course, there were also some adults among them, but most of them had been mentally persecuted.
After these poor people were controlled by some local organizations, they became tools to make money.
And the people who bought them were mostly people from other continents. Every part of them was valuable to those people.
Every year, thousands of people lost their lives because they couldn't wait for suitable organs. This reason was enough to make them look everywhere for and buy the necessary organs. The entire illegal organ market continued to grow year by year. This was obviously a very surprising thing.
In fact, it was very simple. In a developed place like the United States, a person died every one or two hours because they couldn't wait for a suitable organ to be transplanted. Especially for organs like the kidney, which was in high demand. The sale of kidneys was even legal in some countries.
Organs could be exchanged for a high price, which depended on the region. The most expensive organs were from the dead, and the price of organs from the living was lower.
Think about the human organ transplant surgery in the world, the proportion of illegal organs used was very high. Even in the gambling city of the United States, no one dared to talk too much with strangers. Otherwise, when you woke up in a cold bathtub, you would find that you were missing a kidney.
Because of poverty, kidney trading was very common because it was expensive.
Eyes, skull, coronary artery, heart, liver, spleen, gallbladder, and even skin could be sold for money.
It wasn't hard to imagine how terrifying this industry was, right?
Under normal circumstances, regardless of the country or region, if there was a need for an organ transplant, one had to wait patiently. As the clock ticked, one had to pray that a generous, savior-like deceased person would write the words "organ donation" in their will, or that a family member or friend would donate a part of their body and complete a matching organ transplant with the help of a doctor.
However, there were not many coincidences in the world. Generous donors and organs that were compatible with one's body did not always appear often. At this time, the global illegal organ trafficking business seemed to have found a reason for its existence.
Everything sounded reasonable: a person who needed a certain organ would pay a sum of money to a person who needed the money more than the body's organ, each taking what they needed. But in reality, such a transaction was extremely cruel and unequal.
Perhaps only 0.1% of the world's population could enjoy the human organ transplant service because they were rich.
In backward countries and regions, most of the patients died silently. They had no idea that organ transplants could be used to prolong their lives.
Kidneys were known as the golden pouch in the back of the waist. In such poor and ignorant places, many people did not even know what kidneys were.
In addition to buying these poor people's organs for surgery, Lai Wen and the others would also use other methods to buy them. It was just that the other methods might cost more money.
On this continent, too many people really did not know what kidneys were used for.
Then, countless people deceived them by telling them that there were two kidneys in the human body, but one of them was in a dormant state and was useless.
During the operation, the doctor would wake up the dormant kidney and then sell the old kidney.
In the statements of these swindlers, the second kidney was just a burden in the human body. At the same time, it was also a golden pouch in the back of the human body that could make the poor a lot of money at any time.
Of course, many people who sold their kidneys would hesitate, worried that they would need a second kidney in the future. At this time, the swindlers would tell them that even if the first kidney stopped working, the second kidney would not be of much use because it required a high surgery fee to activate it. They also claimed that the operation of the kidney transplant process was absolutely safe.
Many people began to feel weak after selling their organs, but it was too late to regret.
It was not that simple to solve the illegal kidney trade business. Many people with power were suggesting that the donation of bodies should be promoted globally so that the demand for kidneys could be effectively met.
However, the donation of bodies also involved cultural taboos in many countries. A large number of people felt that if they could not maintain the integrity of human organs, they would be punished in the afterlife. Therefore, they would not accept the donation of bodies.
For example, if Hua Xia donated her organs, she would be said to have "died without a complete corpse". This was a great humiliation to the dead.
This was a cultural decision, and it was not something that could be changed.
Therefore, many times, there were too many unrealistic things that needed to be changed. From a realistic point of view, the illegal trade of human organs would not disappear.
For this industry, to put it bluntly, it was a special service for the world's rich. Due to the existence of illegal kidney trafficking, when the rich encountered diseases, they no longer needed their families to donate their organs.
There were many suppliers in the market. Of course, they would not put their families at risk and harvest the organs of their loved ones to satisfy themselves. Especially when they had so much money.
This was a very terrifying criminal network.
Compared to looking for people who took the initiative to sell their organs, it was more cost-effective to directly buy the whole living person. Because these living people could even be harvested all of their organs at once.
Because these people were originally people who "deserved to die" in their eyes.
Everything was so cruel and ruthless. There were many things that could not be explained.
The absurd continent, the absurd humans, the absurd transactions, everything was so normal in this place.
Even because of this "resource" robbery, there were often gunfights. Anyway, anything that happened in this place would not be surprising.
Xu Yun did not expect that in the afternoon of the second day after Lai Wen came to the gold mine to inspect, he received a call from the stiff-faced man, asking him to wait for someone to pick him up. He had to go to a place at night.
After Xu Yun promised him, he had been waiting for him at the gold mine. About half an hour later, a person drove to the gold mine.
Xu Yun had not seen this person before. He did not say anything to Xu Yun. He just asked Xu Yun to drive and follow him. They needed to leave for the destination immediately.
There were people from various towers and his people at the gold mine. Xu Yun actually had nothing to manage. He directly boarded the Mercedes-Benz G65 that Lai Wen gave him and followed the car in front.
