824. Backfilled mines (3/5)
When handing over the mine procedures, the original mine owner Mim complained: "Buying this damn mine is my biggest mistake in ten years, my biggest mistake!"
Li Du asked: "Have you owned this mine for ten years? How much did you buy it at that time?"
The two parties have signed a contract, and Mim is not afraid of Li Du breach of contract, so he tells the truth: "I spent 250,000 at that time, and a total of 250,000!"
Li Du smiled and said, "That's not bad. Two hundred thousand turns into eight hundred thousand. This investment is considered a job."
Mim said dissatisfiedly: "Get together? What's going on? Ten years ago, I could buy a beautiful beach house in Sydney for 250,000 yuan. Now? Can I buy it for 800,000 yuan? I can't buy it for 1 million yuan!"
This time he went back to buy a house. Mim worked day and night in Lightning Ridge for ten years and had already seen things like getting rich. He wanted to live a simple and relaxed life in Sydney.
Australia is vast and sparsely populated, and people mainly live in some big cities. Many people on Lightning Ridge want to dig gems and buy houses in Sydney.
The transaction was completed and Mine No. 408 belonged to Li Du.
After getting the mine, he took Luguan, Godzilla and others to the river to catch crayfish.
Ah Miao and Ganqian Noodles didn't like to get close to the river. Ah Ah saw them fishing out crayfish. It was far away from the distance, and only Ali jumped and followed Li Du.
Kangaroos are herbivores and eat a variety of plants. Some also eat fungi. Crayfish have a very mixed diet, but they also like to eat plants.
In this way, the delicate aquatic plants by the river are common foods between the two parties. Ali’s little mouth is very picky. It has not been completely weaned yet, so he can only eat the tenderest aquatic plants.
So when it arrived by the river, it jumped around in search of tender water plants.
Crayfish are not stupid either. They also like delicate aquatic plants. So Li Du slowly discovered that Ali often lives with more crayfish when looking for places to eat in aquatic plants.
This discovery made the process of catching crayfish much easier. Ali was much happier to see that he could help Li Du.
Taking a box of crayfish back, Godzilla and others began to work hard to clean up, while Li Du prepared to cook.
A Toyota pickup truck drove into his mine. Ao finally found a way to realize his self-worth. He rushed forward with his ears and shouted at the pickup truck.
A middle-aged man in his forties got out of the pickup truck. He was tall and burly, wearing big sunglasses, bearded and had a gold chain hanging around his neck. He looked like a gang brother in a gang movie.
But he was very low-stanced, and after getting off the car, he reached out to Li Du: "Hello, man, I am Marcos Randy, your neighbor!"
Li Du pointed to the mine in the west and said, "The Randy mine must be your territory?"
The mines in Lightning Ridge have labels, which are officially recognized logos. In addition, the owners will also name their mines, which are of various names.
Marcos nodded and said, "Yes, that's mine. There are also generation Randy II and generation Randy III. That's all mines. I have three mines here."
Li Du shook hands with him and said with a smile: "Millionaire?"
Marcos smiled self-deprecatingly: "Ha, isn't you? These mines were mainly bought by me with loans and just working for the bank. They are incomparable to you."
His words may not be true. The mines in Lightning Ridge are often worth hundreds of thousands or millions, but the miners are not necessarily rich. Most of them bought them with loans and have to pay a considerable amount of interest every month.
Li Du said: "You will have good luck. Your mine is good, and the mines here are good. You should have dug a lot of gems here, right?"
Marcos smiled and said, "How do you know? That guy Mim doesn't know. He has been staying with me for six years."
Li Du said: "What you see from your eyes is that how much one gains, your eyes will not lie, and your eyes and Mim have completely different eyes."
Gem mining is privacy. Marcos changed the topic and said, "I have something to discuss with you this time. As neighbors, we must live in peace and friendly life, right?"
Li Du nodded and waited for his words to come. What does this guy mean?
Marcos continued: "Obradovic, do you remember this guy? He offended you and was cleaned up by you."
Li Du said: "Of course, he is a good guy."
Although he had fought, he felt pretty good about Obradovic. This strong man with Eastern European ancestry is a rough man with a bad temper, but he is not bad-hearted.
At that time, they had just finished the fight, and Obradovic saw that he was very close to Brache, so he came up to warn him that Brache had a problem.
From this point of view, Li Du felt good about Obradovic, and he did not keep the previous conflict in his heart.
Hearing him say this, Marcos thought he was talking sarcastically, so he looked at his expression, and then said, "Aub, this bastard, has a bad temper, and likes to make trouble after drinking, but he is indeed a good guy. I mean, you have had a conflict before..."
"That's nothing, it's really nothing." Li Du said, "I know who he is, a kind-hearted and bad-tempered guy, just like my subordinates."
Marcos saw that he was talking in his heart and said happily: "Yes, yes, that's it, Obu is such a bastard."
Obradovic is his miner, and like the ones who were beaten by Wolf Brother that day, he mined them all.
Marcos is not a good-tempered person either. When he learned that his subordinates had been dealt with, he also thought about making a name for Obradovic and others.
Later he heard that Li Du was dealing with Brache very miserably, his subordinates were able to fight and work hard, and they were very rich and powerful. They were the major shareholder of Hairy Winston.
In this way, he became honest. He understood very well that Li Du was not something he could afford. Instead of making enemies, it was better to apologize in a low manner and maybe even become friends.
Li Du tried to keep him and have a crayfish together. Marcos looked like a tough guy, but he couldn't eat spicy food. He almost cried after a meal.
After staying in the mine for a day, Li Du and everyone became familiar with the surrounding environment. Then, he and his subordinates started working.
There are gem veins in the mine, and it is no less than those in No. 114.
The former mine owner Mim was not lucky. In fact, the mine veins were very close to a mine he dug. Just dig more than ten meters forward to find gems.
As a result, his mine was dug to the edge of the veins, but finally stopped and backfilled the ore, making it cheaper for Li Du.
Li Du determined the location of the ore veins and asked Godzilla and Brother Wolf to start fiddling with the crushed ore backfilling. This process is much easier than digging a new mine.
