Cole did what he said he would, and he quickly arranged a team for Mr. Lidu, one that could help him contract a mine in South Africa.

There are two main parts of the team, one is the team of lawyers, who are responsible for solving the legal issues required to contract the land, and they are responsible for the main process of the work.

There are also mine engineers, gemologists, geologists and other personnel, who are responsible for the professional issues of the mine and estimate the amount of gemstones in the mine.

Li Du had confidence in the ore, and he used small flying insects to conduct a detailed search, and found many traces of diamonds in the underground ore, which was definitely a diamond-rich mine.

Therefore, he felt that the second part of the personnel did not need to be used now, and it would be good to go to the mine after he successfully contracted the mine.

But these people were not useless at this time, and he happened to have a question about geology that he needed to consult, so he found a few experts and showed them the strange ore he had brought back from the mine.

He wanted to know the identity of these ores, because he had not seen the ores in question, so he had a bit of an extravagant hope, could these ores be something that had not yet been discovered?

Or, what precious gems can be extracted from this ore?

After several experts saw the ore, they distributed it for identification, crushed a part of the ore for observation under a magnifying glass, and did some simple chemical experiments.

More than two hours later, an appraisal report came out, and a geologist named Louis Bird approached Li Du and handed him the report.

"The results have come out?" asked Li Du as he looked at it.

Louis Byrd nodded: "Yes, based on our observations of the appearance of the ore, the examination of the physical properties and the experiments of the chemical properties, after comparison, we believe that this is a product of an asteroid. ”

Li Du perked up and said, "You mean, they come from aliens?"

He is now immersed in the gemstone market and has learned about extraterrestrial meteorites, many of which can be sold for high prices internationally, and if they are valuable for scientific research, they can even be far higher than diamonds.

"No, they are not alien meteorites, they are the product of an asteroid that melted the rock layer after it hit the rocks on the ground," Louis Bird said. ”

"According to the comparison results, this ore bears a great resemblance to an ore from Bavaria in southern Germany, with a similarity of up to 98%. ”

Among them, in an ore analysis of Bavaria, geologists speculated that about 15 million years ago, an asteroid fell to Earth and hit Bavaria in southern Germany, creating a huge depression that stretched more than 9 miles. ”

"This ore is extremely common in depressions and is named meteorite conglomerate, a tight breccia or coarse-grained rock containing angular fragments, containing glass, crystal and diamonds. ”

Li Du said: "You mean, this ore contains diamonds?"

Luis nodded, explaining: "But the diamonds are scattered small particles that have no commercial value, and they are common in Bavaria's impact craters." ”

He introduced the main information of the ore to Li Du, and more specific information is available in the report.

The asteroid that fell to Earth at that time weighed about 3 billion tons, most of which was dispersed by frictional combustion after entering the atmosphere.

The asteroid is rich in diamonds, but the diamonds melt at ultra-high temperatures, they combine with gravel and soil, and combine with melted silica, that is, glass, and are too small, the largest is only 0.1 mm, so there is no economic value, only scientific value.

Li Du was quite disappointed and said, "In other words, this ore is not worth much?"

It is said that it has scientific research value, but this kind of meteorite conglomerate is found in Germany, and it is rare and expensive, so it is naturally not valuable.

Louis nodded, "Yes, they are not valuable, but they are valuable, and if these meteorite conglomerates are found around the mine you want to acquire, then the mine is not worth mining." ”

Li Du understood what he meant, because the diamonds in the meteorite conglomerate were too small, but he obviously found diamonds from the Amonda Mountains, and they were not small and had excellent quality, so how could this be explained?

The answer will have to wait for a later investigation, and Li Du thanked Luis, who then told the team of lawyers to proceed with the purchase plan of Amonda Mountain Land.

The efficiency of South African officialdom is very slow, but when it comes to money, it is efficient.

At the beginning of October, the mine acquisition team sent news to Li Du that the plan was going smoothly and that the South African government was willing to set up the mountain land in the Amonda area for mine use and then sell it.

Because there is no record of historical discovery of ore in Amonda and the surrounding area, the mine is not expensive, about $10,000 per acre.

The area of the Amonda Mountains is vast, and for the sake of insurance, Li Du decided to buy them all, with a total area of about four square kilometers, about more than 1,000 acres, and the price is more than 11 million US dollars.

The money can't stop him, and he has all the money on him.

He then provided the money and information to buy the mountain land.

A total of 20 days elapsed from the discovery of the diamond mine to the completion of the purchase process.

In mid-October, Li Du returned to the United States with ownership of a diamond mine.

He didn't have much money on him now, although he got some money from Goodswin's safe, it was only $1.2 million.

For Li Du's mining business, this money is a drop in the bucket and is of little use.

There is no pressure on him in this regard, because he will have a large amount of money in his account right away!

After returning to the United States, he had to land at Los Angeles Airport first, and after successfully passing through customs, Li Du called Cao Fan and asked him for the contact information of Tang Chaoyang and Song Biaozi.

In this way, he called Tang Chaoyang again, and after connecting, he said straightforwardly: "I have a batch of diamonds here, but I don't have any certificates, if you need it, I can sell it to you." ”

He had obtained a large number of diamonds from Goodswin and Remonen, which together were in a heavy suitcase, which he stored in the black hole space.

These diamonds are difficult to deal with, and in order to protect their own interests, Del Bis and other diamond marketing groups have joined forces to use the strongest means to combat the smuggling of diamonds and blood diamonds, so neither Remonin nor Goodswin can handle the diamonds in their hands.

If Li Du wants to sell them through normal channels, he has to find a reliable mine to anchor and slowly wash these diamonds.

But this is very difficult, first, the profits will be deprived by the mine, and second, the mine's digestion capacity is limited, and it will take several years to dispose of all the diamonds in his hands!

Li Du didn't have so much time to waste, it just so happened that Tang Chaoyang and Song Biaozi seemed to need a lot of diamonds here, and he chose to hand over the diamonds to the two of them.

It happened that the two returned to Los Angeles and received a call from Li Du, and they arrived in a car to inspect the goods on the spot.
