815.River Monster (4/5)
When polishing gemstones, the news that Li Du has twelve pieces of fine black opals here has been transmitted, and more than a dozen gem dealers have heard the news. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Du listened to their offers, but did not make a decision, and he told the people that he had to go back to the jewelry expert to rate and value the gemstones, and now he could not set the price.
This is normal, the twelve gems in his hand are all high-quality, and they can be sold for at least two or three million together, and it is impossible to sell them at a casual price.
The twelve gems that are now polished are carefully selected by Li Du from all the gems dug up, and the rest are either small in size or low in color grade, and the price is also low.
The reason why these valuable gems were polished first was because Li Du wanted to use them as bait to catch other big fish.
With these gemstone arguments, people quickly forgot the previous rumors that Li Du was pitted by Blatche to buy Mine 15.
Now the town's mine owners and miners believe that Li Du has a purpose in buying Mine 115.
There is a theory circulating again that Li Du chose Mine 115 as a hint from Bob's geological expedition diary.
"Who's Bob? This guy is so good?"
"Bob Lem, I know him, I have a good relationship with him, but I don't see how good he is, of course, he works very seriously. ”
"Bob Lime is not only a serious worker, but he's also very smart, remember? When he's not working, he walks around the mines. ”
"Yes, I remember that, I thought he was just hanging out, but he was taking the opportunity to find out the gem reserves of the various mines. ”
"Mine 115 has long been targeted by him, but he has a bad relationship with Brache, and he can't buy the mine from him, so he can cheapen Chinese Li. ”
"Are there any other deposits in Bob's diary?"
"It would be nice to find a way to get your hands on it and see it......"
The twelve gems displayed by Li Du caused a storm of discussion in the town, and in the past few days, people's conversation before and after meals has shifted to him.
There is constantly some new news being passed out, some of which are made up by Li Du and some of which are said by the locals themselves.
People are like that, they have a strong blind obedience, and when someone gives them a hint, they can associate more things based on the hint.
That's what Li Du wants.
Blatche returned to Mine 114, where he hired miners to scout the mine for hidden gems.
Another word came out that Blatche was jealous of Li Du's harvest, and that he believed that Mine 114 was adjacent to Mine 115 and that there were also veins in it, and he was determined to mine his own mine.
In this case, the miners invariably increased their value, and Blatche had to hire miners to work, fetching more money than usual.
If it weren't for the stimulation of Li Du, Blatche would not have paid more to hire miners.
But now he was in a hurry, and Li Du's harvest and what he had said to him that night had deeply stimulated him, and he couldn't wait to find the gems in his mine.
So even though the miners demanded high prices, he gritted his teeth and hired them.
Compared to the priceless black opal, the wages of hiring miners are really nothing.
Li Du returned to the No. 115 mine, and the ore was still being dug up every day.
Sophie has nothing to do in the mine, except to take care of the four little ones, which is to make coffee, juice or dessert.
From time to time, Li Du invited Brache to come over for coffee and dessert, and occasionally Hans would mail him some good beer, and he would invite Brache to come over for a beer.
The relationship between the two became closer and closer, and Brache was interested in befriending him, and every time he came over, he would not come empty-handed, and he would bring some food or gifts.
In this case, what Li Du has gained here, naturally he can't hide it from his eyes.
Seeing that gems were dug up in Li Du's mine almost every day, Blatche's eyes were red with jealousy.
He was bent on knowing what Bob's diary contained about the gems in Mine 114, but Li Du gritted his teeth and refused to reveal the relevant information.
Brache tried his best to come up with no useful information, and then he changed his strategy and brought good wine for Li Du to drink.
He wanted to get drunk Li Du, and then come back to talk.
This trick is a bit useful, Li Du once drank too much, and drunkenly said a little news, that is, 'gems are related to snakes'.
But that's what he said, and when the wolf brother who accompanied him saw that he was drunk, he helped him out.
In the past few days, Li Du's life has been unstable.
Brache wanted to get the location of the gems in Mine 114 out of his mouth, while the others wanted to see the Bob Gem Diary in his hand.
Most of the miners were bold, knowing that Li Du would not voluntarily show them the diary, so they used various means to get close to the diary.
Some want to steal the diary, some want to use violent means to force Li Du to comply, and some use beauty tricks.
Li Du's soldiers came to block the water to cover the earth, and the thieves and thieves had a sigh to deal with, and Ah Ran's hearing was called a sensitive, and it could be heard by someone approaching it two miles away.
If anyone wants to use violent means, then hand it over to Brother Wolf, who has beaten many people during this time and made a name for himself in the town with his fists.
As for the beauty trick, this is even more difficult to use, there is no girl in the whole town who is half as good as Sophie, Li Du has Xi Shi in his arms, how can he be interested in Dong Shi?
Godzilla and Brother Wolf were in charge of digging gems out of the mine, and Li Du had nothing to do here, and took Sophie and Sixiao to play around the town.
Lightning Ridge has a large area and many places to play, and what attracts Li Du is a river, the Lightning River.
The Lightning River flows from the north of Lightning Ridge and eventually joins the main stream into the ocean, and the river does not flow all year round, and sometimes it stops.
Because of the heavy rain before, the lightning river, which was close to drying up, has flowing water again, and it is flowing endlessly.
In mid-May, when Li Du learned of the river's existence, he went to a fishing tackle shop to buy a fishing rod and prepare for fishing.
Seeing this, one of the miners laughed and said, "You're going to go fishing in the Lightning River? ”
Li Du said lightly: "The No. 115 mine I bought is called a shit mine, but I haven't dug up gems yet?"
The miner choked and said, "Well, you're lucky, but you can't catch fish in the Lightning River, and the river must be full of little monsters at this time." ”
"Little monsters, are there monsters here?" asked Li Du.
The miner nodded solemnly: "Yes, there are hordes, countless little monsters, and they are very scary when they appear together. ”
