Chapter 42: Christine

It's different from when I first came to the volcanic island.

The first time he heard from the old priest that he had helped develop the volcanic island, Lin Xiaobao thought to himself - how could it be possible?

Up to now, the ticket money alone has quickly earned 5,000 US dollars, and in addition, he has also cried and sold to get a sum of aid, After visiting the sapphire mining area at the foot of Mount Pelle, as well as the rich geothermal hot spring resources around it, Lin Xiaobao has sorted out a rough idea with the eyes of modern people.

For example, relying on gem mines to develop tourism and mining industries, it is best to use the hot spring water to create a tourist resort, sea fish, fruits, coffee beans and the like can be sold to the outside world, and the locals can also try some handicraft production.

Judging from the current situation that is still in the stage of bartering, even if there is only a little improvement, it can make the locals live more comfortably, and Lin Xiaobao, who is the chief, can naturally win a big cake for himself in the distribution process, which is obviously much more promising than working for others in the past, which is equivalent to being the king of a miniature island country, and his life is too comfortable.

There were ten tourists in total, and they were tired from the journey yesterday, and the thought of having to go so far back made their minds about mining sapphires fade.

After asking who didn't dig it, Lin Xiaobao generously took out a few ordinary sapphires and distributed them to them, because the water quality of the hot springs had not been tested, so he didn't take a big move to invite them to take a bath, continued to lead the team in person, and walked back slowly.

Halfway through the green grass canyon, he thought it would be a pity not to raise some cattle and sheep......

The chief went out to get down to business, and Delia and the old priest of Caporeni took the initiative to help deal with outsiders.

After a period of fermentation, the volcanic island welcomed more outsiders, with a total of more than 30 people.

Among them, there is a team of teachers and students who want to conduct research and research on the volcanic island and write a research paper on genes, and the volcanic island in their eyes is an untapped treasure in genetics.

Medical staff from United Nations-affiliated agencies were also informed of the need for medical assistance, and a total of five medical personnel arrived with supplies.

In addition, there is also the owner of the travel agency, trying to open up new tourist routes, talking to Delia about cooperation, how can she understand this, let the other party wait patiently for the chief to return.

More often than not, it is a tourist who comes to visit.

The old priest was in charge of the conversation and reception, Delia was in charge of collecting the ticket money, and in just two days when Lin Xiaobao went to the sapphire mine, he received 12,000 US dollars for the ticket alone, in addition to a large number of materials, mainly living materials.

Delia was dazzled by all sorts of things she hadn't seen before.

I haven't left the island before, I think the world is like this, I went out with Lin Xiaobao once, and after seeing the world, I have now become a fan of small wealth, and I love to hide at home and look through the supplies, and I will be silly after reading it.

The chief was not at home, and Delia helped manage the supplies, only getting in and out, and she didn't even give her an old friend to ask for shampoo.

Among tourists.

There was a tall woman with blond hair and brown eyes, who looked particularly eye-catching.

She was carrying an expensive limited-edition leather bag, a short skirt with black silk and high heels, walking on the muddy dirt road that had just rained, and almost broke her foot several times, but she was not a squeamish character, so she decisively discussed with other tourists and bought a pair of sneakers from others.

This woman's name is Christine, her family is engaged in gold jewelry sales and processing business, and her parents have a little say, she also entered the company after graduation and got a middle management job in the purchasing department.

The business is mainly concentrated on the local side, a few days ago, I heard a store manager contact the headquarters, reporting that a good quality sapphire was found on the volcanic island, Christine immediately bought a ticket to fly to Hawaii, and also asked an appraiser to help identify the grade of the rough.

Sapphires are found all over the world, and the storage and production are considerable, but high-end sapphires have always been in high demand in the market. The reason why Christine is so enthusiastic is mainly because she feels that the supply of goods is monopolized, and the price of her own company is too high, thinking that directly contacting the mining party may reduce the cost of raw materials, so she personally visited the volcanic island.

Following the customs, he first landed on the island as a tourist to observe and understand the situation, brought a jewelry appraiser, a friend who acted as a bodyguard, and an assistant, and paid a total of 2,000 US dollars.

Since Christine landed on the island, she has been looking at the surrounding villagers, originally thinking that since sapphires are abundant, there should be many people wearing sapphire jewelry, but she didn't see it, and she couldn't help but worry that it was the same as the Bre-X mining company's scam scandal back then.

So at this time, Christine took the initiative to contact Delia, who was said to be the princess of the island, and asked tentatively: "I heard the news, there is a sapphire mine on your island, right? I came this time to go to the mining area to see for myself, can you help me find a tour guide, of course, as long as you take me there, I am willing to pay a certain amount of payment...... How about two hundred dollars?"

Growing up, Delia has hardly been as busy as she has been in the last few days, and her full life makes her happy every day.

Hearing this, Delia wanted to tell the other party that she could go mining without giving any more money, but when the words came to her lips, she nodded and told, "Of course, our chief Kula is at the foot of the volcano, and when he comes back, he can take you there." ”

Seeing that this beautiful girl, who was younger than herself, agreed to take her to the mining area on the spot, Christine was in a good mood, smiled and took out her wallet, counted two and then paused slightly, added two more Franklins, stuffed them into Delia's hand, and added: "Help us prepare the room, food, and water first, you ...... Have clean fresh water?"

"Yes, do you want a coconut?"

Delia was not stupid at all, silently took the banknotes, and never mentioned that she could provide food for free or anything like that.

Compared with other guides, after reading Lin Xiaobao's Facebook news, there are not many tourists who bring enough daily necessities to exchange with the villagers, and Christine is not a big wronged person.

Personally helped lead the way, Delia helped find three cleaned thatched huts, and some villagers nearby were busy building other thatched huts, nothing more than using logs as walls after leveling the land, and laying a layer of hay on the roof to protect from the rain, and the construction speed was extremely fast.

Hundreds of villagers are busy building new houses at the same time, five or six in a day, and there is wood everywhere on the island, and there is no shortage of raw materials, but it takes some effort.

As soon as Christine and her party were settled, a yacht was ushered in by the sea again, and Delia led the two little followers again, and when she ran over with great interest, she found that she knew the boat.

But on the day they went to Honolulu, they stopped the "Lambert One", and the captain was named Sam Lambert.

Delia suddenly felt a little weak.

After all, at that time, she also took the other party's watch, a piece of gold and blue submarine, and handed it to Lin Xiaobao as a gift afterwards, thinking that the other party came to the door to ask the teacher for guilt, so she quickly asked the half-sized doll to go to the village to find some adults to come over and help her......
