848.Mine Auction (2/5)
In the evening, Sophie came back and told him that it was Miranda Kerr, a homegrown supermodel supermodel, who had lost her underwear. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Li Du said: "Nine times out of ten, Ah Meow did this, it is the second time to do this kind of thing, do you say that this time will be recorded by the camera?"
Sophie's eyes widened and said, "Did Ah Meow do it?" I didn't record anything, the security guard had seen the video before, and didn't find any clues." ”
It is impossible to install cameras in the men's and women's locker rooms, and although there are some places outside, Ah Meow estimates that he has the ability to move from outside the building with the ability to fly the eaves and walk the wall, and the surveillance video can't capture it.
The two looked at Meow, and Meow made a look of 'the old paper doesn't know anything about the carpet in front of the old paper', and stared at the carpet in front of them intently.
Obviously, it has a ghost in its heart, otherwise with its character, once Li Du and Sophie look at it, it will definitely run over and be coquettish.
Li Du didn't know what to do, he didn't catch Meow at the scene, he didn't even have evidence, and Meow did it after seeing that he and Sophie were dissatisfied with Bradley, which belonged to giving them anger.
So, criticizing it is not very good and affects the feelings between them.
Anyway, Li Du didn't have any loss in this matter, he simply gave Ah Meow a small dried fish to reward it for his spirit of loyally protecting the lord and venting his anger for the master.
Ah Meow is very smart, and after receiving the reward, he immediately understood what Li Du meant, and hurriedly raised his head and waited for the praise.
Li Du patted its head and said: "No compliment, you are not allowed to do this in the future, even if you do this, you can only steal your mother's and steal it from me, you know?"
Sophie said angrily, "Why don't you teach something good?"
Ah Meow took it seriously, slept at night, and got up early in the morning, Li Du opened his eyes and saw that there were several sets of underwear next to the pillow.
He woke Sophie up, and Sophie fumbled for her underwear to put it on, but she couldn't find anything, so frightened that she hugged the quilt and shouted: "Hey, what are you doing?
Li Du said angrily: "What am I going to do?
Sophie was stunned and said weakly: "Don't do this, it will bring me a psychological shadow." ”
Li Du said: "I tease you, haven't you woken up? Look, your underwear has been meowed into my bed." ”
The wardrobe in the room was opened, and the suitcase that the two of them put on the wall was also opened.
Sophie came to her senses and shouted, "Meow, get over to the old lady, I must kill you today!"
Meow understands that the situation is not good and runs away......
The salon lasted for four days, constantly showcasing a variety of luxury jewelry, and constantly welcoming all kinds of wealthy and dignitaries, which was not only a jewelry sale, but also an opportunity to expand your network.
Cole is very good to Li Du and will take him to meet some people when he has the opportunity.
Of course, he may have done this for Steve's sake, because once in a while in a chat, Steve asked Li Du how he saved Steve's life.
Li Du's answer was rather vague, and he said that during a business contact, Steve had a heart attack, and he rescued him in time.
In this regard, Cole expressed his envy and seemed to regret that it was not he who saved people at that time.
Li Du now knows that the Steve family's favor is very valuable, and he saved Steve's life, and this opportunity is even more invaluable.
After Sharon, he and Steve travel to Lightning Ridge together.
Steve took Elson with him as usual, in addition to two middle-aged men, one black and one white, both of whom were strong men, apparently his bodyguards.
When I came, it was a helicopter, and when I went back, it was still a helicopter, but this time the helicopter was not as comfortable as the previous dolphin, a bit like a military transport plane, with more space and faster speed.
Li Du was a little curious about this helicopter, so he watched left and right.
Steve noticed it and introduced it to him, saying that this helicopter is a rescue helicopter, and the reason why the decoration is not luxurious is to save space, and there are many medical machines in the helicopter.
In this way, Li Du understood that this helicopter should be specially used for Steve's treatment.
Back at Lightning Ridge, the helicopter landed at the mine, and Obradovich and his party waved happily when they saw him, and Li Du brought them a lot of gifts from Sydney, and after distributing them to eight people, they were very happy.
Steve looked at the scene and said, "Your men feel good about you, how did you do that? ”
Li Du laughed and said, "What kind of leader am I? As long as you pay them in time, they will treat you as a leader." ”
Steve really came to mine the stone, Li Du had a headache, I don't know why he insisted on doing this, but the other party asked for it, and he could only carry it out.
Now that Steve had just arrived at Lightning Ridge and lacked a basic understanding of gems and mines, Li Du arranged for Obradovich to take him and explain some of the essentials of the job.
He continued to look for suitable mines to get more out of Lightning Ridge.
From the original Mine 104 to his current Mine 122, there is a large vein scattered along this line, and some of the surrounding mines have gems in them.
As luck would have it, this vein has never been discovered, because these mines have not been able to harvest many gemstones, although they have been excavated.
Knowing that he and Steve were going to continue to buy the mines, Obradovich said, "Hey, boss, good luck, you're back just in time for the town to hold a mine auction." ”
Li Du asked, "Is the mine auction auction?"
Obradovich nodded excitedly: "Yes, just this weekend, it's just the right time for you to come back, as far as I know, there are fourteen or fifteen mines to be auctioned this time." ”
There are thousands of mines in Lightning Ridge, but only a fraction of them produce gems at some given time, and most of them are trading at a loss.
In this way, if the mine has no harvest, the mine owners will not make money, and a mine can easily reach millions, which is a real estate investment, and if it cannot appreciate or make money, it will be depreciated.
Moreover, the Australian government also levies a tax on mines in the same way that it imposes a land tax on houses, and the tax rate is higher.
As a result, many mine owners want to sell their mines when they can't get a harvest.
But it's not so easy to sell the mine, not all mines are willing to take over, and once the mine is not productive, its value will depreciate and eventually become a shit mine.
There are at least hundreds of mining transactions in the mining trading hall of Lightning Ridge, compared to the popularity of the housing market, the mining market is much more miserable, and there are not many people who take over.
No one took over the mines, and there were high land taxes, and some mine owners went bankrupt or had no money to pay taxes, and eventually the mines were confiscated by banks and the government for auction.
