Chapter 1149 1148. Spending Money (25)

Big Ivan hissed from the side: "You have a good temper? God, if the lady boss isn't here, I'm going to put up my middle finger."

Sac-Ray held the cup and pointed at him, "Eva, my brother, if the lady boss wasn't here, my water cup would fly into your face."

"It's Ivan, bastard, not Eva." Big Ivan laughed.

Sac-Ray shrugged and said, "Sorry, bro, I can't pronounce correctly, so why don't you just call me Eva?"

Ivan is a common male name in Russia, and Eva is a common female name in Northern Europe.

The friendship between them is very strong, and Li Du is happy to watch them joke.

Brother Wolf is dull, rigorous and serious.

Zack Ray and Big Ivan are much more lively. When Big Ivan is alone, he can’t play. With Zack Ray, the two of them are quite noisy together, and sometimes they will cooperate to toss. brother wolf.

An active personality is more helpful to the team. After getting off the plane, Li Du got acquainted with Sack Ray, and called him "Old Lei" according to the latter's request.

"Don't think I don't know your purpose," Big Ivan pushed Sac Ray and said, "Boss, he wants to use blood to get closer to you, this flattering bastard."

Old Lei was taller and stronger than Big Ivan, and he grabbed Big Ivan with a grappling hand and made a gesture to throw an over-the-shoulder fall, but Big Ivan was nimble and used his knee to grab Old Lei's leg and took the opportunity to escape.

Brother Wolf frowned and said, "Okay, we're on the ground, please be quiet."

Old Lei and Big Ivan looked at each other and shrugged, obediently following Brother Wolf.

Li Du's good mood lasted until he turned on his cell phone. He found that Bull Stewart, the agent he hired to buy the island, had called him several times, and then returned.

Bull Stewart is a senior real estate agent of Red Oak, the largest real estate transaction company in Australia. He and another person have been acting as agents for the purchase of Seagull Island, and the progress is quite fast.

"Mr. Li, I have good news for you. The Shagull Island has been bought! Congratulations, the Australian government and the Tasmanian government are finally willing to sell the island!" Bull said happily.

Li Du was not happy, how could it be such a coincidence? God sees that his life is so smooth, did he deliberately torment him?

He is in need of funds here. First, the equity change and then the purchase of the island was successful, so his wallet will be quite dry.

However, if there is no such thing as Lei Moning, these two things would be a great thing for him, so he becomes conflicted, not knowing whether to be happy or depressed.

After Bull said the quotation of Seagull Island, he knew how his mood would change: "How much is the island?" "Well, the final quotation given by the government is 220 million Australian dollars."

Li Du almost dropped his phone, he asked in shock, "How much?"

"Two hundred and twenty million Australian dollars, converted into the U.S. dollars you are used to, is about 174 million U.S. dollars." Bull said carefully.

Li Du said angrily: "Why are there so many? Didn't you say that it was 50 to 60 million US dollars at the most 80 million US dollars? Why has the price doubled?"

Bull smiled wryly: "The original quotation was aimed at the fact that Shagull Island was just a deserted island with no resources. Now it turns out that there are quite a lot of resources on the island, so the government raised the price."

"What resources are there?" Li Du's heart suddenly rose. Could it be that the Opal Mine was discovered?

"There are a lot of resources. One is that you once fished black gold abalone around Sha'ou Island. After the government sent an inspection team to check, it was found that there are a lot of black gold abalone living around Sha'ou Island. There are black gold abalone resources..."

Li Du said: "I don't want their black gold abalone, is that okay?"

Bull said helplessly: "This is not good, this is the added value of the island."

"Isn't this a bundled consumption?" Li Du was anxious, "And those black gold abalones are worth 100 million yuan?! This is a low price, this is extortion!"

Bull continued to explain: "Not only black gold abalone, but also hot springs and hot spring resources. The government believes that this can develop tourism. In addition, there are a lot of snakes on the island. They think snakes are also resources. Snake meat, snake skin and snake venom are all valuable... ..."

Li Du was speechless. He said, "Actually, your government is shameless and wants to extort money, right?"

Bull was silent for a while, then whispered, "Yes."

Li Du hung up the phone, he needs to calm down, the Australians are too barbaric, and the Australian government is too bullying!

But thinking about it, he wanted to buy the gemstone mine that they hadn't discovered yet, and they wanted to make money from him. Both parties were businessmen, trying to maximize their profits.

Cole arranged a car to pick up Li Du. After getting in the car, Li Du called Bull again and asked, "Can the price be lowered? Is there any room for negotiation?"

Bull said sincerely: "Mr. Li, please believe in our professional ethics. We have tried our best. This is the lowest price."

Li Du said: "I know, wait for my news."

Now it will be difficult, the stock price is expensive, and the price of this island is even more expensive. The combination of the two is more than 300 million yuan, and there will not be much money left in his hand.

Fortunately, the equity change process went smoothly. His lawyer, Paul Neuberger, was in charge of determining the details of the contract, introducing and answering questions to Li Du, as long as he was satisfied and signed.

Callestan is a character, and after the equity change, he just stroked the contract and remained silent for a few minutes, then smiled and shook hands with Li Du to congratulate him.

"I hope that these shares can become more valuable in your hands, and that the Harry Winston Group can flourish in your hands." He said sincerely.

Li Du sensed the trap in the words, and he also noticed that the moment Cole looked at him changed when these shares fell into his hands.

Callestan was Cole's biggest enemy before, but now, this enemy has become him, Li Du.

Cole will not always be his partner, maybe one day he will become an opponent. Li Du knows very well that he needs a firm and powerful partner.

Lei Moning is a good choice, not only because he has diamonds in his hands, but also because he has entered the top ranks of a country. Once he develops, he can even become the top leaders of the country.

After returning to the hotel, Sophie noticed the change in his mood, hugged him and asked, "What's the matter? You seem to be annoyed?"

Li Du sighed: "Some things happened quite suddenly. I'm afraid I'll have to go out again after a while. This time I might go to the North Pole. Would you like to stay with me?"

He originally wanted to go to Siberia mainly to help Luo Qun arrest the criminal who killed her family, and at the same time help Steve, earn a favor, and find the mammoth ivory treasure in the prison treasure map by the way.

Looking at it now, the latter reason is more important.

Sophie smiled and said, "Of course, if you go to the ends of the earth, I will accompany you."

Li Du was very moved: "I can't repay you, I'd like to fuck for you!"

Sophie: "..."
