Chapter 540 539. Continue to Search (3)
Hearing Owen's words, several pickers became anxious, and Cyril was especially anxious: "Impossible! How is this possible? When did Opal become ubiquitous?"
Li Du shrugged and said, "Who knows? As I said just now, finding an opal is not a troublesome task."
Sophie made a face at the pickers, and smiled excitedly: "I would like to bet, you lose, we win!"
Cyril was not reconciled. The opal gem he picked up was worth at least 10,000 yuan, and it was possible to sell it for 20,000 yuan.
Ore pickers are not as good as Li Du thought. They need to pay 500 yuan each time they search for valuable ores in the national park, and then they can search at will in the next 24 hours.
If after 24 hours, the pickers get nothing, then they are unlucky. Five hundred dollars is worthless, just like a treasure picker taking a picture of a garbage warehouse.
It can only be said that there are many occupations in the treasure picking industry, but none of them is guaranteed to make money, and no one is easy and risk-free.
Ore pickers are the same as warehouse Taobao people. They are the type who don’t open for three months and open for three months. For example, Cyril, he didn’t make much money in the past month, so he relied on this order.
As a result, now that the order is going to be yellow, how can he be reconciled?
Of course, compared with warehouse Taobao people, ore pickers have an advantage, that is, the investment risk is small.
They have to pay 500 yuan each time they enter the park, but they can always get their money back.
Although they are called "Ore Pickers", in fact they should be called Strange Rock Pickers. The chance of pickers picking up opals is very small, but the chance of encountering some strange-shaped stones is not small.
These stones are also very marketable. There are many strange stone shops around, and you can still make some money by selling the stones.
But what really makes them money is opal, which can make them rich overnight, and there is no shortage of such people in the hands-picking circle.
Cyril thought that his chance to make a fortune had finally come. Even if he couldn't make a big fortune, it would be nice to make a small fortune.
In this way, the money he got would be taken away, how could he be willing? He walked directly to Owen and said, "This game is not fair, there is something tricky in it, give me the stone."
The big fat man Owen was dissatisfied. He asked, "Dude, what do you mean by that? You mean that I and this guy teamed up to cheat you?"
He is a very prestigious gem merchant in the surrounding area. The pickers need to rely on them to make money, and they are born to bow their heads when facing them.
So when he heard Owen's words, Cyril shrank, and he said, "No, no, that's not what I meant..."
Owen poked his chest with his finger and said: "You better not mean that, buddy, you know me, you know I care about my reputation, since you chose me to preside over the game, you have to respect me!"
Gem merchants pay special attention to reputation. Only when they have a high reputation and a high reputation, will pickers be willing to come to seek deals.
Cyril shouted: "But this son of a bitch must have a conspiracy! This damn yellow man doesn't know what's wrong, how can he win? There must be a conspiracy!"
Li Du sneered, this guy is really looking for death, so he is still stubborn at this time? He kept talking about conspiracy and tricks, which was clearly against Owen.
Cyril didn't care who he offended, he just wanted to get his gemstone back at this moment, so he continued to shout: "No one can be sure that he picked up an opal within an hour! I bet he must have bought one beforehand, Temporarily put it in the ground, pretending to have just found it!"
This possibility is not impossible, some pickers favored him and nodded.
With an ugly expression, Owen held up the gemstone and said, "You are all experts, you can see the sand and stone powder on it, so you can tell when it was unearthed."
As he said that, he looked at a treasure picker and said, "Dark, tell me when did you judge it was unearthed?"
The picker who was named by him went up to have a look, and said helplessly to Cyril: "Brother, this stone was just dug out, and it was definitely not bought in advance by someone and temporarily put it in the soil."
The pickers looked at Cyril with pity and said, "Forget it, buddy, I'm willing to accept the bet."
"You lost, this yellow man may have been very lucky."
"It's okay, Cyril, just pretend that you haven't found this stone. It's still early in the day, maybe you can find another one!"
Cyril glared angrily at the picker who persuaded him, and he shouted: "Shut up, you bastards! You were the ones who encouraged me to participate in the gamble just now, and you compensate me for the loss!"
Now he even offended his partner, and the pickers originally supported him. After hearing this, these people turned around and left, not bothering to care about this matter.
Owen handed two stones to Li Du, and transferred 20,000 yuan to him, saying, "You win."
Li Du gave him two thousand yuan and said, "I can't let you be a referee for nothing, at least I will give you 10% commission, which is what you deserve."
No one has trouble with it, especially what Li Du said was grand.
Owen looked at him with a smile, nodded and said, "You're fine, buddy, I like you. If Cyril was as smart as you, he wouldn't lose today."
Seeing him get the gems back, someone immediately asked, "Dude, would you sell them? What price? I'd love to make an offer."
"Sell it to me, give me two yuan together, and I'll give you a good price." Another person scrambled.
Holding two beautiful stones, Li Du shook his head and smiled, "Thank you for your attention, but I don't want to sell them, because they don't belong to me."
As he spoke, he handed it to Sophie and said, "These are for you, dear, they belong to you."
Sophie waved her hand and said, "Huh? I don't want it, this is yours..."
"This is yours!" Li Du emphasized, "I did all this for you, honey, I know you like it, if you don't keep them, what's the value of them?"
Sophie pursed her lips, she hesitated and said, "No, Li, you give this kind of gift..."
Li Du said: "I know, it's a little too light for me to give this kind of gift. You help me take care of Ah Miao and the crispy noodles, and help me feed Ah Ao. You still choose to favor me. The gift I really want to give you is mine The rest of my life, the rest of my life belongs to you."
Sophie is not good at talking about love, she is a shy girl.
Hearing what he said eagerly, she blushed, accepted the two stones, and looked happily in the sunlight, looking left and right, as if she couldn't get enough of it.
Sure enough, the saying in the jewelry industry is true: as long as there are dragons and women in the world, there will always be a market for shiny gems.
Li Du was not satisfied with the two pieces of opal. He rode on his horse and walked slowly on the land. At the same time, he released small flying insects to shuttle around in the field, continuing to search for gems.
