577.Go to the Gem Pit (1)
Hearing what he wanted to hear from Owen, a veteran in the gem industry, Li Du smiled and nodded, and took Sophie out the door. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Owen held them back, "It's time for lunch, Lee, Miss Martin, why don't you stay for lunch?" I know Winslow has a restaurant where the lamb is very well cooked. ”
Li Du thanked him in a friendly way, saying that he wanted to walk around here by himself.
In that case, there was no reason for Owen to keep them anymore.
After going out, Sophie asked strangely: "You agreed to his price like this?" Why don't you find more jewelry stores to ask for a price? I recently learned Chinese, and there is a good saying, it is called shopping around. ”
"It's a smart boss, he's Winslow's biggest jeweler, and I bet he's already given me the biggest deal," said Lidu. If you want to sell for a higher price, you have to go to Los Angeles or New York. ”
He wasn't interested in waiting that long, and he didn't have time to leave, he had to keep looking for the Fire Opal.
This batch of fire opals made him earn more than 2.6 million, and he believed that Owen could also make a lot of money from it, at least 5 or 600,000 yuan.
The opals he offers are all of good texture, and most of them have color changes, that is, they have beautiful patterns in them.
This fire opal is a work of art in its own right, and it can be sold with simple processing.
There are a few pieces that do not change color, but they are not low in value because they are so clear that they can be cut into faceted gemstones.
The value of a faceted fire opal is mainly determined by its own color and transparency, the more transparent it is, the better the fire after cutting, the deeper the body color, and the higher the value.
Driving a pickup truck, the four of them wandered around Winslow at will.
Sophie leaned on the window and looked at the autumn street scenery outside, and sighed: "Time is so fast, spring goes to autumn, I feel like I just entered the spring scene a second ago." ”
Ao snorted, "There's still spring in Arizona? I thought it was summer a second ago." ”
For black people, the summer is too torturous, especially in Arizona.
Sophie grinned, "Well, even if it was summer a second ago, it would have passed quickly." ”
Li Du lowered his head to operate the mobile phone, and the text message prompt sound of the mobile phone sounded on the bodies of Da Ao and Godzilla.
Godzilla opened the phone and looked at it and turned it off, and then parked Sophie to buy something, and Da Ao, who was driving before, opened it and took out the mobile phone to look at it, and said in surprise: "Boss, 20,000 yuan?"
He sealed a red envelope of 20,000 yuan for his two subordinates, which was regarded as a small dividend for them.
Godzilla and Da Ao are both Li Du's subordinates, and it is nothing if he doesn't give money, but Li Du still chooses to give them a small dividend every time he makes money.
However, there were not so many in the past, they were all thousands of yuan, but this time Li Du earned a lot, and when he got more than 2.6 million yuan, he decided to give the two of them more money.
There is a saying in China that Dou Mien is promoted to hatred, and there are also stories of people who are not strong enough to swallow elephants, but he is not afraid that doing so will feed the appetite of the two, because he trusts these two people.
Although Godzilla and Ooku have not been with him for a long time, both of them have been of good character.
With the personalities of the two, as long as Li Du does what he promised and pays the two of them on time, they will work for him loyally.
But this is not enough, Li Du needs the two of them to be loyal to him, follow him with an iron heart, and stand in the same trench with him in the face of anything.
To get to this point, it takes a long time to get to the charisma, which he can't do, so he changes to another method, using money to win their loyalty when the two are in trouble.
Loyalty in exchange for money can be bought with money, this is true, but there is a premise, that is, under the same circumstances.
When the two first met Li Du, they were both at a low point in their lives, and Li Du took care of their meals and gave them high treatment, which was a grace of knowing each other and a gift in the snow.
In the future, they will no longer be so short of money and status, that is, even if someone gives them a high salary, it is just the icing on the cake, and the icing on the cake is not as good as charcoal in the snow.
Besides, Li Du is quick to make money, and he is also happy to give money, and his opponent is no more generous than him in this regard.
It turns out that he did the right thing, and Godzilla and Ooku are now obedient to him, and in the previous violent clashes, both of them gave priority to protecting Li Du.
And according to their working relationship, if Li Du just paid them a normal salary, they would never do it.
Sophie buys ice cream and gives it to the three of them, then takes out three small rice bowls and scoops cream ice cream into their rice bowls.
The three little guys arched their heads into the rice bowl, and the one who ate with their mouths was happy.
After lunch in the town, supplies were made, and after a rest, the second wave of work began.
Li Du re-selected a piece of land and paid another 1,000 yuan, so that they could stay in the national park for two days and two nights.
Driving down the road, Sophie saw two acquaintances, pulled down the window and beckoned, "Hi, Brende, Alicia, hello." ”
Brende is Stephen's cousin, a professional ore picker, and the two are riding a large motorcycle, and they are speeding down the road.
In the various industries of treasure hunters, there are various standard configurations, as long as you look at the standard configurations, you can probably know what they do.
Almost all of the treasure hunters in the warehouse auction drive trucks, and they have to clean up the warehouse and hold everything in the warehouse, which only the truck can hold.
The second-hand goods trading treasure pickers are driving pickup trucks, they are picking second-hand goods, and there will rarely be large quantities of second-hand goods or large quantities of second-hand goods, so pickup trucks can meet the demand.
Motorcycles are the signature equipment of ore pickers, and the industry only needs a few boxes, a tent and some tools, and motorcycles are the most suitable choice.
Moreover, the gravel flats in the national park are not well mineralized, and the large motorcycles are highly flexible and more suitable for the terrain here.
Brende, who was driving, saw Sophie and recognized her identity.
It's easy, Sophie's looks and temperament are quite unique, and it's hard for those who have met her to forget.
Sophie's beauty often causes men to lose their minds and do stupid things, such as the painter who was scared away.
However, Li Du felt that it was impossible for all men to have this virtue, and the cousins Brende and Stephen were not this kind of people, they were very honest and honest, and it was impossible to see the color.
But what happened next made him doubt his own judgment, and when he saw Sophie, Brende waved his hand excitedly!
Li Du was scared, big brother, do you know that you are riding a motorcycle? It's okay to hold the handlebar with one hand, but you have to pay attention to the terrain, it's all gravel here, and you can't hold the motorcycle with both hands, right?
Sure enough, after Brende let go of one hand, the shaking motorcycle and the wild dog that had been untied suddenly slipped and fell to the ground, throwing the two people in the car together.
Li Du hurriedly drove over, Brende got up at this time, he didn't care about patting the dust on his body, and said excitedly: "Hey, Li, hurry up, hurry up and go to the gem pit!"
