South America is a place with many scenic spots, and there are many people who travel to South America every year.

When you arrive in South America, one of the places you have to go to is the Iguazu Falls. As one of the three major waterfalls in the world, Iguazu Falls has long become the business card of South America. Every year, there are more than 2 million tourists who come here to enjoy the Great Falls.

Yang Jing had previously admired Niagara Falls, one of the three major waterfalls in the world, but he had never seen the other two waterfalls located at the junction of Zambia and Zimbabwe.

The Victoria Falls are far away in Africa. When can I go there depends on the situation. The Iguazu Falls are right next to Paraguay, less than 300 kilometers away from Asuncion. Compared with China, thousands of miles away, this place is almost equivalent to standing at the door of the Iguazu Falls.

If you don't go over and take a look, you're really a little sorry for yourself.

Although Princess has been to many scenic spots in the world before, she has never seen the Iguazu Falls, so she is also very happy to admire the widest waterfall in the world.

Both the boss and the boss's wife wanted to go, so naturally these bodyguards didn't say anything.

Leave as you say it.

From Asuncion to Iguazu Falls, you don’t even need to take a plane. The distance between 300 kilometers and the planes can’t even climb the flight altitude and have to descend. It’s not troublesome enough. So, Yang Jing and the others decided to drive to Dongfang City and enjoy the scenery of the tropical rainforest on the way.

The car rental service in the small town Ita is quite prosperous. Chris and the others rented four silver-white Mercedes-Benz Gs without much effort.

After driving out of the small town Ita, go directly to Highway 1, then drive eastward and then northeastward, enter Highway 2, then arrive at Colonel Orvedo Town and then enter Highway 7, and then go eastward to reach Oriental City.

It took Yang Jing and his team less than six hours to drive it. Of course, this is in Paraguay. It is quite good to have such a highway that can reach 60 or 70 kilometers per hour in the tropical rainforest. If you are in China, it will take 300 kilometers to take the expressway for 300 kilometers per hour...

However, the road conditions on this road are pretty good, but this road is very similar to China twenty years ago. There are many toll stations and toll sections, which makes Yang Jing and the others very angry.

You said you are not a highway, so what is the fee...

So poor!

When we were about to arrive in Dongfang City, a heavy rain suddenly fell from the sky. It was so heavy that we couldn't even use the wipers on the car. In desperation, the convoy had to find a spacious place on the side of the road and stopped. Then a group of people sat in the car and stared at the rare wonder - the sun was shining brightly on the east half of the sky, while the clouds were covered with dark clouds.

This scene of the bright sun shining heavily reminded Yang Jing of a famous song that the young man Qi Qin once sang - "Sun Rain".

The heavy rain came and went quickly. After more than ten minutes, it was like an invisible big hand turned off an invisible faucet. The heavy rain that had poured down the moment before suddenly stopped, and then the dark clouds in the sky also turned into white clouds with different images...

Bruno smiled and said, "This kind of rain is very common in tropical areas. Have you ever seen that classic movie "Forrest Gump"?"

Princess and Yang Jing nodded, and Bruno continued: "There is a set of shots in the movie that talk about Forrest Gump when he was in Vietnam. The movie introduces all kinds of strange heavy rain in Vietnam in the form of a narration. Forrest Gump said that in Vietnam there are rain from top to bottom, rain from side to side, and rain from bottom to top, bara bara... In fact, that's all the real situation. In the tropical rainforest, you can often encounter such unreasonable heavy rain."

Princess smiled and said, "I remember that set of shots, it's so interesting. I like Forrest Gump played by Tom Hanks."

Yang Jing smiled bitterly and said, "Wife, do you think it's good to say this by guarding your fiancé?"

The princess laughed, "So you will be jealous too..."

Bruno and Clark, who were sitting in the passenger seat, immediately shut up and said nothing.

When it rained, the convoy had already reached a distance of about 30 kilometers from Dongfang City, so when the convoy continued to move forward not far, they saw houses gradually starting to appear on both sides of the road.

This is already the suburb of Dongfang City.

Bruno has been here before, so he is very familiar with it. After seeing that the couple no longer play with each other and plays each other, Bruno began to introduce it again.

"Boss, go further and enter Dongfang City. Dongfang City is the second largest city in Paraguay, with a population of about 400,000. Before the 1960s, this place was just a small border town close to Brazil. However, in the 1960s, the Paraguay government designated this place as a free trade zone. The preferential policies allowed foreign merchants to flock here in large numbers, and Dongfang City slowly flourished. Because Dongfang City is a duty-free city, Dongfang City is almost a super-large market. Many merchants from Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina and other countries gather here. Oh, by the way, there are many Chinese people here, with the most people in Bay Island, and there are also many merchants in China inland. Boss, Sofia, we can go to the largest bridgehead market in Dongfang City to see. When you get there, you will definitely meet Chinese fellow villagers."

When the princess heard Bruno say this, she was intrigued and asked, "Are there really many Chinese people here?"

Bruno nodded and said, "That's for sure. Chinese people are really hardworking. When I came here more than ten years ago, there were already many Chinese people opening supermarkets and restaurants. At that time, 70% of supermarkets near Qiaotou Market were opened by Chinese people. Because the products from China are not only of excellent quality, but also cheap, and are very popular among South American people, the supermarkets opened by Chinese people here are very, very popular."

Yang Jing smiled and nodded and said, "That's right, no matter where we Chinese go, we can make a fortune in the local area. The most diligent, smartest, and most hard-working nation in the world is not just a casual talk."

While talking, the convoy had already entered the suburbs of Dongfang City. The houses on both sides of the road began to become dense. Looking into the distance, even if it was more than 20 kilometers away, you could see the tall buildings in the center of the city. In comparison, Dongfang City had more tall buildings than Asuncion.

Highway 7, which crosses the entire Oriental City, is the main street of Oriental City. After crossing the Oriental City, this road that starts from Colonel Orvedo will enter Brazil through the Astamide Bridge, which spans the Parana River, which is known as the "Friendship Bridge".

The bridgehead market that Bruno mentioned before, as the name suggests, is located on the west side of Friendship Bridge.

Although the core area of ​​Qiaotou Market is located on the north side of the road at the west end of Youyi Bridge, in fact, as long as you enter Dongfang City, even if you enter this super-large market, because just after entering Dongfang City, there are a large number of vans on both sides of the entire Highway 7.

This type of truck is called "big sedan" locally. If it were in China, it would be the kind of truck similar to container trucks.

"On both sides of Highway 7 are the core area of ​​the entire Dongfang City and the most prosperous area of ​​Dongfang City." Bruno pointed to both sides. Yang Jing and Ge Ge looked at both sides and found that more and more high-rise buildings were appearing, restaurants, supermarkets, and shops were everywhere, and even many extremely luxurious casinos with decoration.

But more are people - those shirtless porters.

These porters loaded boxes of heavy goods into the vans, and were busy like a group of worker ants who didn't know how to be tired.

"Walking forward is the Bridgehead Market." Bruno said, pointing to the front left. Because there are too many vehicles here, the fleet's driving speed can only be maintained at about 20 kilometers per hour. "The Bridgehead Market is a bit inconspicuous. When I came here before, if the locals had told me that it was the Bridgehead Market, I wouldn't believe that it was the largest late-night shopping market in the entire South America!"

"Late-night shopping market? What does this mean? Do you mean this market is traded at night?" asked in confusion.

Bruno nodded with a smile and said, "That's about it. Don't look at the fact that there are many people here now, but it's noon now. If it was in the early morning, there would be several times more people here than now. The streets are full of people, and the cars wouldn't be able to run."

After a pause, Bruno continued to explain: "The formation of the bridgehead market is due to its favorable location with Brazil, and is more suitable for Paraguay's low tariff policy. When it was developed here, Paraguay's tariff was very low, and Brazil imposed punitive tariffs on all foreign imported goods in order to protect its domestic market. For example, a toy market price is one dollar, Brazil may have to charge 100% tax, while Paraguay only needs to charge 5% tax, and Brazil also pays goods circulation tax and state taxes in various states. This unbalanced tariff policy has caused many Brazilian businessmen to flock to this border city. They flock to Paraguay, and then transport cheap goods to Brazil in large quantities through tax evasion, and make profits from it. Most of this happens at night, so this market has become a late-night shopping market."
