Knowing Hans's intentions, Li Du thought it was funny and wanted to continue calling. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In fact, he doesn't call, with Hans's temper, he will definitely call him back, Hans can't keep secrets, he always wants to show off to him, that's what he kept calling a few days ago.
However, Li Du didn't want to do this, because he hadn't answered Hans's calls many times, so he had to give in.
As a result, he was about to call back again, when Old Man Elson came.
The old man has been busier than him recently, although the two have spent more time together, they have less communication, and when he saw Elson coming to the door, Li Du hurriedly received him.
Sipping Sophie's coffee, Elson said: "Steve is in good shape, he's fine, I'm going to see him in Sydney." ”
Li Du breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This is really good news. ”
Elson smiled and said, "He's been depressed lately, to be honest, Lee, Steve is really serious about this gem digging trip, he wanted to dig out some gems with his own hands." ”
Li Du said: "I can see that he is a determined guy. ”
Elson sighed, "But it's better to go back and recuperate, Steve is definitely not suitable for the heavy work of mining, and his heart can't bear too much of a burden." ”
Li Du accompanied him to say a few words, and then Elson said: "I came this time to say goodbye to you, I have caused you a lot of trouble during this time, Steve and I, have caused you trouble." ”
"You're so kind." Li Du said, "Where's the trouble? I haven't seen it. ”
Elson laughed and said, "Anyway, Steve and I have to thank you, apologize for the trouble we caused you, and besides, I have a gift for you before leaving." ”
It is normal for Americans to exchange gifts with each other, and Li Du also prepared gifts for Steve.
He gave Sophie a look, and Sophie understood what he meant, and took out a beautifully wrapped box from the table drawer, which contained black opal rough, only half-polished, both delicate and primitive.
Elson also took out his gift, which was a document bag, and when opened, it contained a copy of the land use certificate and the real estate certificate of the mine.
Seeing these documents, Li Du was stunned and asked, "What is this?" ”
Elson said: "This is Steve's order, he feels sorry that he can't come to mine the gem mines himself, because he may not come to Lightning Ridge in the future, and I hope I will transfer these mines to you." ”
Li Du asked tentatively, "Do you want me to help him take care of it?" ”
Elson smiled and waved his hand, "No, it's for you." ”
This answer surprised Li Du, and he said, "God, these mines are worth tens of millions of dollars." ”
Elson said, "We owe you more than tens of millions of dollars. Besides, is ten million dollars a lot? ”
Together with the documents of the No. 120 mine that were auctioned at the beginning, the old man gave them to Li Du together.
Li Du wanted to excuse himself, but Elson blocked him with a sentence: "This is Young Master Steve's arrangement, I am just a clerk, if you want to refuse, please come to him in person." ”
The other party used the title of 'Young Master Steve', and Li Du was not good at what to say, obviously, Elson was talking about his identity, which meant that he could only listen to errands.
In this way, after a busy circle, Li Du became the owner of the surrounding mines.
Together with the other two mines, he now has a total of sixteen mines, which can already be said to be a mining tyrant in Lightning Ridge.
Sending Elson away, he looked at the documents for a long time.
Sophie came over and patted him, smiling: "What's so nice about these things?" ”
Li Du said: "You have become a landlord's mother-in-law, do you know?" ”
Sophie asked, "Landlord, what is this?" ”
Li Du explained to her the title of the landlord and the landlord's mother-in-law, Sophie laughed, stretched out her hand to pat him on the back, and feigned anger: "This is really ugly, you are not allowed to call me that." ”
Indeed, Li Du has become a landlord, and more than 300 acres of land is not much, after all, Australian farms and pastures are based on 10,000 acres.
But this is not a farm or ranch, this is a mine, where a gem mine can generate millions of profits by discovering a scattered vein.
After getting these mines, Li Du really wanted to thank Brache and Lennon in person, their death behavior can be said to have helped him a lot, and made him a big wedding dress.
Li Du was happy for a while, and then thought about the taxes to be paid in the future.
He was wondering if he should apply for immigration and immigrate to Australia, after all, he also has real estate and land here.
As he was thinking about it, the phone rang again, and when he saw that it was Hans calling, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
Answering the phone, Hans's dejected voice rang out: "Good, good, man, I'm convinced, your patience is really good." ”
Li Du said: "Don't worry, let me speak first, you will never guess what happened just now......
He told him in short words what had happened in recent times, and Hans didn't speak for a long time, and Li Du asked, "Hey, man, are you still there?" ”
After asking several times, Hans replied weakly: "Yes, I am here, God is above, why did you encounter such a good thing?" Tens of millions of dollars in mine giveaways? It's really enviable! ”
Li Du said: "How is your harvest there?" During this time, you should have caught a lot of black gold abalone, and made a lot of money, right? ”
This is a certainty, Australia does not have a few annual black gold abalone fishing licenses, and this one in their hands is a money printing machine, which can make a steady stream of money.
After all, now that Australia and New Zealand have entered the black gold abalone fishing ban season, there is no fresh black gold abalone in the market, and the demand is very high, and it can definitely be sold at a good price.
Sure enough, at the mention of this topic, Hans became proud: "Ha, it's not bad, God forbid, now we do make a lot of money......"
Li Du didn't care about the benefits of black gold abalone, he wanted to know what was going on with those photos of the black opal of the ocean that Hans had sent him.
If the photo is true, there may be a new vein of black opa there, because opal is a gemstone that does not exist alone, and once it occurs naturally, it means that a vein has appeared.
The same is true for fire opals, where the entire national park is a vein of opals, the largest belt of opal gemstones in the world.
As a result, after Hans mentioned Black Gold Abalone, the topic was endless, and he was not given a chance to interject at all, and occasionally he turned the topic to photos and black opals, and Hans would turn back.
There was no way, Li Du had to listen quietly to him introducing the black gold abalone market and the brilliant achievements he had achieved with the sea girl.
Finally waited for him to finish, Li Du looked at the time, good guy, it's been an hour of communication!
