Chapter 1005 1004. Trust (310)
Pingtou shrank back to avoid the lioness' slap, but he couldn't avoid the lioness' mouth.
The lioness bit it and closed her mouth fiercely, trying to kill it.
In the end, for some reason, Brother Pingtou swayed and struggled like a snake, but the lioness couldn't even bite him, and he fell to the ground and escaped.
Li Du knew the reason. The honey badger has a thick rubber-like epidermis and hard and loose fur. If it is bitten by an animal, even a crocodile, it can use the method of undressing to escape.
After running out, Brother Pingtou didn't run away, he turned around again and gave the lioness another paw!
The lioness jumped angrily, it roared, and other lionesses rushed over.
A group of lions surrounded Brother Pingtou, but Li Du couldn't see what was going on behind him, his vision was blocked, and he saw the lions roaring and biting Brother Pingtou.
After a minute or two, a lioness picked up Brother Pingtou. At this time, Brother Pingtou was no longer as arrogant and brave as before. His body was limply hanging on the lion's mouth, and he was already dead.
Goode glanced at Li Du, and said with a smile: "Look, this is what happens to a warrior, he doesn't know how to live or die! The lion has already given him a chance to live, and he didn't cherish it himself!"
Li Du understood that he was alluding to himself, but he didn't speak and pretended not to hear.
After eating and drinking enough, the lions gradually dispersed.
Falcons flying in the sky and hyenas hiding in the shadows are ready to move, wanting to get a share of the remaining zebra skeleton.
The driver asked, "Commander, shall we leave?"
Good kept staring at the bushes where the little honey badger was hiding, and he said casually: "No, don't go, wait and see, there is still a little warrior in there, I want to see how it dies."
As a result, they waited for a while, but the little honey badger didn't come out, and was still hiding inside.
Goode lost his patience, waved his hand and said, "Go, drive that little thing out."
The driver swallowed his saliva, looked outside hesitantly and said, "Commander, can I drive there?"
The lions did not leave completely, resting on the hills, and the hyenas wandered around, looking for opportunities to get food, and it was still dangerous here.
The soldiers didn't dare to get out of the car, but Brother Wolf didn't hesitate. He pushed open the car door and jumped out. He looked warily at the location of the hyena group, bent over and ran towards the bushes.
He did not take precautions against the lions. The lions who were well fed and drunk were not in danger. They would no longer attack their prey at will, because every attack may be injured.
Beasts such as lions and leopards don't want to be injured unless necessary, because one injury may lead to the loss of prey in the back, a vicious cycle, and eventually starvation.
The hyenas stared at Brother Wolf gloomyly, and slowly approached him.
Brother Wolf pushed aside the bushes, picked out a honey badger that looked like a puppy, and continued to bend over to return.
A hyena looked at him salivatingly and walked slowly towards him.
Brother Wolf turned his head, stared at it with fierce eyes, opened his mouth suddenly and let out a growl: "Woo-ow!"
Startled, the hyena subconsciously took a step back and looked at him suspiciously.
After briefly frightening the hyena, Brother Wolf returned to the car with the little honey badger, and calmly handed it to Li Du.
No wonder the little honey badger didn't move. It didn't know what happened, but fell asleep. Even though it was carried by Brother Wolf, it still closed its eyes and fell asleep...
Seeing this scene, Good's face became ugly, the driver lowered his head in fright, his body trembling.
Li Du put the little honey badger on his lap, stroked the thick fur on its back, and said, "This thing is cute. It's a little warrior. I like it. It's my pet now."
Gude was silent for a few minutes with a gloomy face, and said coldly: "Return!"
He breathed a sigh of relief as the driver was granted an amnesty, and quickly started the car and turned the steering wheel to leave.
Back at the camp, continue to talk about business.
But Gude failed to achieve his goal. Before negotiating the price, he wanted to take Li Du to the wild to frighten him, so that he could ask for a price at will when negotiating the price.
Now, instead of scaring Li Du, Li Du got a pet instead.
Back in the office, he opened a bottle of wine and drank a couple of gulps, then took out some beautiful small stones from the desk drawer, and said, "How do you price this kind of diamond?"
Li Du searched the office before, and knew where the diamonds were kept. They were all hidden in a safe, and there were rough diamonds inside.
Goode also has a box of rough diamonds in his desk drawer, along with some of these beautiful stones.
These stones look like diamonds, but they are not diamonds. This should be what he used to persecute the young miner before.
Goode has no way to cut and polish diamonds. After all, diamonds are very hard and require professional tools and techniques to cut them. Goode obviously does not have such ability here.
Therefore, Li Du glanced at the beautiful stones, and said, "You bid whatever you want, anyway, I can't dispose of them for you, I can help you dispose of diamonds, just diamonds."
"These are diamonds." Goode said viciously.
Li Du said calmly: "You have the final say, but I will take it to the market in the future. If it cannot be exchanged for money, then it is you who cannot make money, not me."
Hearing this, Goode suddenly laughed again: "Haha, haha, very good, I am not mistaken, Mr. Li, you are a hero born out of a boy, and you are my very satisfied partner!"
He put these things away and took out the small box containing the rough diamonds in the drawer.
The diamonds inside are not very clear and brilliant, and the appearance is somewhat gray. This is the original diamond, uncut and not bright.
Li Du looked at these diamonds. The largest one was as big as the belly of his little finger, and most of them were only the size of soybeans or mung beans, which belonged to ordinary broken diamonds.
After estimating, he said: "The price of this kind of diamond is about 5,000 to 8,000 U.S. dollars per carat."
It is very complicated to judge the value of diamonds. This is different from precious metals such as gold. All diamonds have to be priced comprehensively based on multiple factors.
But it's useless for him to say that, and Goode won't listen to him, so he can only speak in general terms, taking an average value after combining the values of large diamonds and small diamonds.
Goode shook his head and said decisively, "Ten thousand, they are worth ten thousand dollars."
Li Du laughed, and said: "Good Commander, I don't know how you position me. Do you treat me like a slave like a miner? Sell yourself for you? If so, you can set the price whatever you want, and I will do what you say. If you If you treat me as a partner, then I have to make a profit, 10,000 dollars, no room at all!"
Goode looked at him with a strange expression on his face, and said, "I regard you as a partner, but you have to gain my trust."
"How did you gain your trust?" Li Du had a bad feeling in his heart. What is this old lunatic planning to do?
Goode smiled mysteriously: "Don't worry, I will tell you how to do it."
