Chapter 666 665. Travel Auction (45)
The main reason is that he didn't expect Owen to be so disgusting, and he gave him a cold shot behind his back.
Owen still thought he was disgusting. He didn't want to fight against Li Du, but wanted to make a fortune with Li Du.
Unexpectedly, he found out later that after Li Du found the gemstone, he stopped selling it to him. As for where he sold it, he didn't know, anyway, he couldn't make any money.
However, this is not the main reason why Owen reported him. The more important reason is that after Hughes and Sulji were arrested, they confessed to Owen.
Owen wasn't directly involved in the illegal use of machines to sabotage national parks for gems, or so he thought, but the guy was so smart that he cleared himself up when he was investigated by the police and the courts.
He claimed that he was not aware of this operation, but received a call from Suerji and others, saying that there was a batch of gems for sale and he was willing to accept them.
At this time, he reported Li Du, saying that Li Du took more than 30 gems from the national park at one time, and suggested that the police investigate him, thinking that he also used illegal means to find gems.
However, after the police mobilized the surveillance video inside the national park, they did not find any illegal behavior by Li Du, so they did not investigate him.
The police did not care about him, but the National Park did. When they learned that he had taken more than 30 gems at one time, they happily put him on the park's blacklist and refused to accept him as an ore picker.
After finding out about this matter, Li Du wanted to scold his mother, he was really unlucky, it was all caused by villains!
But he couldn't go to Owen to take revenge. This guy is in prison. He said it nicely, but the judge is not stupid. Finally, he was also convicted through the call records between Surji and Hughes.
Fortunately, he can only be regarded as an accessory, and the punishment is relatively low. He can only spend eight months in prison.
Standing at the gate of the national park, Li Du looked at the colorful ores inside and felt very sad.
Those inside are not ores, those are dollars, and they are not colorful, they are the green color of dollar bills!
Too bad he can't get in...
Brother Wolf felt his melancholy, and asked in a low voice, "Boss, do you want to go in?"
Li Du nodded: "Yes."
Brother Wolf said indifferently: "Then let's dig in at night, and I'll help you find the way. There are very few surveillance cameras here, so it's easy to avoid."
After hearing this, Li Du shook his head: "No, I don't do illegal things, I want to go in legally."
The national park covers a wide area and is only surrounded by low walls. In many places, the terrain is more complicated, and there are not even walls.
For people like Brother Wolf, the national park is an undefended open space, and it is too easy to get in and out.
With his help, it was not difficult for Li Du to get in and out, but Li Du didn't want to do it.
Some of them are good ways to make money, and some are opportunities to make a fortune. Even if he can no longer make money in the future, he now has assets worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
As long as the Hai Rui Group doesn't go bankrupt, he can live comfortably for the rest of his life just relying on dividends.
In that case, why did he do illegal things?
After looking melancholy at the national park for a while, Li Du got into the car and said, "Go back."
In fact, it's not that he can't accept this matter. Anyway, even if he dug up gemstones, he can't sell them now. He has to wait until Hai Rui Group has made Fire Opal series jewelry and successfully released them before he can put Fire Opal on the market.
In this way, it does not matter whether you can enter the national park or not.
Seeing him returning to the camp, Hans, who was holding a laptop computer and enjoying himself, asked strangely: "Hey, why did you come back so early this time?"
Li Du said: "Because I love this land deeply."
"What the hell?" Hans looked confused.
Li Du changed the subject and asked, "What are you looking at? Are you watching porn? Or talking to some girl? Look at your itchy face."
Hans said angrily: "Damn it, don't insult me, I'm looking at the beauty of the world, winter is coming, I'm looking for a place to vacation."
Li Du asked, "Are you going on vacation?"
Hans said: "Yes, I haven't been on vacation for a long time, you know, I'm obsessed with work..."
"Get out."
"Well, I couldn't save any money before, but this time I suddenly made a million dollars. Of course I'm going on vacation." Hans said.
He helped to contact the two oil paintings for sale, and he could collect money from both sides. As the buyer, Potter gave him a thank-you fee, and Li Du also gave him an intermediary fee, which together amounted to millions.
There was also stuff from the warehouse for sale, and now Hans was richer than ever.
Li Du thought about it, and suggested: "I'm going home for the New Year, how about traveling with me to China? China is beautiful and has a lot of cultural heritage."
Hans' eyes lit up, he snapped his fingers and said, "Good idea, it's settled."
He paused and added: "You also forgot to say something important."
"There are many beauties and delicacies?" Li Du squinted at him, that's all he pursued.
Hans waved his hand and said, "No, I'm going to your place. You have to bear all the expenses. I can travel for free."
Li Du raised his middle finger and said, "The beauty you think..."
"I hurt my brother." Hans immediately interrupted his words, pretending to be hurt.
Li Du sighed and said, "Okay, I'll be responsible for all the expenses."
Hans laughed complacently, and Li Du added: "However, do as the Romans do, according to the customs of our hometown, you have to bring a gift when you visit our place. Prepare a gift for my parents."
Hearing this, Hans couldn't laugh anymore.
Da Ao patted him on the shoulder and said: "Boss Fu, everything is OK. Bringing gifts is always cheaper than paying for the trip yourself. You don't have to bring gold and diamonds as gifts."
"That makes sense." Hans laughed again.
Back in Flagstaff City, there was nothing to do, so Li Du went to find Sophie and accompany her to and from get off work.
It is a blessing in disguise, and there is another advantage in not being able to go to the national park. Li Du can help Sophie deal with the troubles brought by her suitors.
The handsome Bentley guy Graz is not usually interested in Sophie. He will greet Sophie every day at work, and wait for her after get off work every day, asking if she can send her back.
The handsome guy is very patient and persevering, and he is very gentlemanly, he will never pester Sophie too much, and he will not harass her during work.
Therefore, Sophie couldn't have a bad feeling for him, on the contrary, she became a little fond of him after the number of times.
Fortunately, Li Du was always by his side, and most of the time he stepped forward to help Sophie out of the way, and the handsome Bentley could only sigh at this moment.
Hans felt that Li Du had nothing to do, and it happened that he had almost disposed of the inventory in his hand, and said, "Li, it's not a problem for us to be idle all day, why don't we go out and do two tickets before we go home?"
"go out?"
"Utah, Colorado, or Nevada, what if we go to one of these places and do a travel auction?"
