After some probing, Li Du beckoned Hans to leave. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The little flying insect has already flown to the limit, and if he wants to continue to explore, he will get to the top of the reef, but it is very dangerous, and there are many sea snakes around the reef.

Looking at these sea snakes, Li Du suddenly remembered the scene of the snakes he saw when he was in Lightning Ridge approaching the underground opal mine, maybe the local legend is true, there is a relationship between snakes and black opals!

In this way, he further thought, there are many snakes on Shaou Island, could it be that there are also mineral veins on the island? Especially in the place where several snakes gather, why do they gather there? Maybe there are gems in the gathering place?

With a series of questions, he swam out of the water, took off his wetsuit and changed into the dry clothes that Sophie had prepared.

Hans asked, "Do you see that? Is that an opal?"

Li Du nodded: "Yes, if my vision is correct, you found a piece of natural black opal, guess it, then I guess there should be a gem vein of opal here." ”

Hearing this, Hanston got excited and asked, "What does that mean? man, we're going to get rich, we're going to get rich, aren't we?"

In the face of Hans, there is no need to hide this aspect, after all, Hans contacted him first after discovering the black opal.

So Li Du said: "If the gem vein exists and can be mined, of course we will be rich." But you have to know what's the problem, you know? Underwater gems are not easy to dig for. ”

Hans said: "Who cares about this? As long as we find a vein of black opal, it is equivalent to sitting on a mountain of gold, and as long as there are gems, we can always find a way to develop it." ”

Li Du felt the same way, finding black opals is far more difficult than mining, they have found gemstones, and although it is difficult to develop them, it is not impossible to do them.

There is a premise for doing all this, that is, he has small flying insects to locate the gems, otherwise mining on the seabed is a fool's dream.

He had to tell Hans the reality, so he said: "The black opal vein is generally not very widespread, I guess it is permeated in the area of the bottom of the sea, and it is difficult to mine on the seabed, Boss Fu, be prepared." ”

After the frenzied excitement, Hans returned to his composure and finally discovered the difficulty of mining on the seabed.

Li Du told him that black opal mining was laborious because it was wrapped in rough stones, and that exposed gemstones like the ones he saw were too rare.

"We have to break the stones under the sea, collect the stones on the island and smash them, we have to consider the weather and the water temperature, we have to take care to protect the environment here, we have to drive out the snakes, in short, there are many problems. ”

Hans sat down wistfully and said, "What then?"

Optimism is optimism, and the problem is always there.

They discussed it for a while, and Li Du continued to introduce him to the problem of digging black opals on the bottom of the sea, and Hans gradually understood the difficulty of mining, which may not be as profitable as fishing for black gold abalone on the bottom of the sea.

Black gold abalone is really outside the reef and is relatively easy to find, although the price of black opal is high, it is too difficult to find.

Lidu told Hans about the number of black opals, and that even in the veins, it often takes hundreds of cubic meters of ore to find a small piece.

It's not very difficult to mine a few hundred cubic meters of ore on land, but what about in the water? Conventional crushers can't be used underwater, and excavators and the like are not very useful.

After figuring out the problem, Hans became agitated and said, "Forget it, damn it, I'd better honestly look for my black gold abalone." ”

Li Du said: "There are many problems, but there are also many solutions, I say these are to let you understand the current situation, not to discourage your enthusiasm." ”

After pondering for a while, he said: "The most important thing at the moment is to buy this small island and occupy these gem mines, and as for the mining problem, let's take our time." ”

Hans was startled by this: "Buy an island, man, do you know how much it costs?! How many gems can be developed from the veins down there, and then you have to buy the whole island first?"

Li Du knew that the veins here were very rich, but it was difficult to develop.

He said: "Let's listen to the offer for this island first, and if we can afford it, we will buy it." ”

There are many islands in Australia, and island buying and selling, like real estate sales, can be carried out, although it is more difficult.

The plan is to buy the island, and Li Du has to study this aspect.

There are a number of small islands in Australia that are now being put up for sale, with prices ranging from $5,500 to $130 million.

Among them, the $5,500 island is about 1,500 square meters in size, located in an inland lake, it also has a neighbor, it is also a small island for sale, it is sold for $19,000, and there is a small house on the island.

The price is very low, many people can buy it with a month's salary, but there are very few people who can really buy it, or almost none, it is here to fool people.

The $130 million private island covers an area of about 250 square kilometers and has luxury villas, swimming pools, marinas and other facilities.

Let's not talk about the price, just look at the transaction information of these islands, Li Du has confidence.

Now around the world, there are quite a few people who buy islands, such as the famous pirate captain Johnny Depp.

As early as 2005, after Johnny Depp finished filming "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", he announced that he and his family would move to the Bahamas, where the film was filmed, where he bought an island worth $3 million and officially transformed from a pirate captain to an "island captain".

Depp's private island, named "Litholtang" on the map, is 45 acres with 6 private beaches, a private harbor, a villa and a backup generator, and it is necessary to rely on boats, helicopters and sea planes to get to the island.

The most famous private owner is the world's master magician David Copperfield, who spent $65 million to buy the Exuma Islands, a four-island archipelago in the southern Bahamas.

Now, it's a vacation destination for the richest and most famous, with rents exceeding $300,000 per week.

The purchase of the island is subject to the Tasmanian government, which is subject to state approval, after which it goes to the national level, where it is approved by the Land Department, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Inland Revenue Department and even the Ministry of Defence.

After carefully studying the policies and procedures for buying islands in Australia, Hans saw it and asked, "Do you really want to buy this island?"

"Then make this place a resort area, and bring your family over for vacation every spring, summer and autumn in the future, isn't it also very beautiful?" Li Du said lightly.

Hans gave a thumbs up: "You cow, buddy, I don't have that much money to risk with you, I'll quit." ”

Li Du smiled and said: "No need, I won't treat you badly, if there is no gem output here, just fine, if there is output, I will share 10% of your commission every year." ”
