Chapter 849: 848. Mine Auction (25)

In the evening, Sophie came back and told him that it was Miranda Kerr, an Australian supermodel who said she lost her underwear.

Li Du said: "Nine times out of ten, Ah Miao did this. This is the second time it has done this kind of thing. Do you think it will be recorded by the camera this time?"

Sophie widened her eyes and said, "Did Ah Meow do it? Nothing was recorded. The security guard had watched the video before and found no clues."

It is impossible to install a camera in the men's and women's locker rooms, and although there are some places outside, Ah Miao probably used his skill of flying over the eaves and walls to move from outside the building, and the surveillance video could not capture it.

The two looked at Ah Miao, and Ah Miao acted like "Lao Zhi doesn't know anything about the interesting carpet in front of Lao Zhi", without even looking at the two of them, she focused on the carpet in front of her.

Obviously, it has a ghost in its heart, otherwise, with its character, once Li Du and Sophie look at it, it will definitely run over and act like a baby.

Li Du didn't know what to do. He didn't catch Ah Miao at the scene, and he didn't even have any evidence. Moreover, Ah Miao did it after seeing him and Sophie dissatisfied with Bradley. It belongs to venting their anger.

Therefore, it is not good to criticize it, and it will affect the relationship between them.

Anyway, Li Du had nothing to lose in this matter, so he simply gave Ah Miao a small dried fish to reward it for its spirit of loyally protecting the master and venting his anger for the master.

Ah Miao is very smart. After receiving the reward, she immediately understood what Li Du meant, and quickly raised her head to wait for the compliment.

Li Du patted it on the head and said: "There is no praise, you are not allowed to do this in the future, even if you do this, you can only steal your mother's and give it to me, you understand?"

Sophie said angrily, "Why don't you teach something good?"

Ah Miao took it seriously. After sleeping at night and getting up in the morning, Li Du opened his eyes and saw that there were several sets of underwear next to the pillow.

He woke up Sophie. Sophie fumbled for her underwear to put it on, but she couldn't find it no matter how fumbled. She was so scared that she hugged the quilt and shouted repeatedly: "Hey, what are you doing? What are you doing?"

Li Du said angrily: "What am I going to do? I want to fuck you!"

Sophie was startled, and said weakly: "Don't do this, it will bring me a psychological shadow."

Li Du said: "I am teasing you, are you still awake? Look, your underwear was picked up by Ah Miao on my bed."

The closet in the room was opened, as were the suitcases that the two had put on the wall. Ah Miao picked out all the underwear carefully and brought them to Li Du.

Sophie came to her senses and shouted, "Amiao, get the hell out of here, I will beat you to death today!"

Ah Meow knew that the situation was not good, so she ran away...

The salon has a total of four days, constantly displaying various jewelry luxury goods, and various rich people and dignitaries are constantly coming. This is not only a jewelry sales meeting, but also an opportunity to expand contacts.

Cole treats Li Du very well, and will take him to meet some people when he has the opportunity.

Of course, he might have done this for Steve's sake, because in an occasional chat, Cole asked Li Du how he saved Steve's life.

Li Du's answer was rather vague, and he said that during a business contact, Steve had a heart attack and he rescued him in time.

For this, Cole expressed his envy, and seemed to regret that he was not the one who saved the life at that time.

Li Du now knew that the favor of Steve's family was very valuable. He saved Steve's life, and this opportunity was priceless.

After the salon, he and Steve headed to Lightning Ridge.

Steve took Elson with him as usual, and he also brought two middle-aged men, one black and one white, both strong and strong men, obviously his bodyguards.

It was a helicopter when it came, and it was still a helicopter when it returned, but this time the helicopter is not as comfortable as the previous dolphin, it is a bit like a military transport plane, with more space and faster speed.

Li Du was a little curious about this helicopter, so he looked around.

Steve noticed it and introduced it to him. He said that this helicopter is a rescue helicopter. The reason why it is not luxuriously decorated is to save space. There are many medical machines in the helicopter.

In this way, Li Du understood that this helicopter should be specially used for Steve's medical treatment.

Back at Lightning Ridge, the helicopter landed at the mine. Obradovic and his party saw him waving happily. Li Du brought them a lot of gifts from XN, and after distributing them to eight people, they were overjoyed.

Steve watched this scene, and said later: "Your subordinates feel very good about you. How did you do it? I didn't see it, but you are still an excellent leader."

Li Du laughed and said, "What kind of leader am I? As long as you pay them in time, they will regard you as a leader."

Steve really came to mine the ore, and Li Du had a headache. He didn't know why he insisted on doing this, but he could only carry out the other party's request.

Now that Steve has just arrived at Lightning Ridge and lacks a basic understanding of gemstones and mines, Li Du arranged for Obradovic to take him and explain some work essentials to him.

He continued to look for suitable mines, striving to get more harvests in Lightning Ridge.

From the original No. 104 mine to his current No. 122 mine, there is a large scattered vein on this line, and there are gemstones in some surrounding mines.

Li Du was lucky, this vein has never been discovered, because although these mines have been digging continuously, they haven't harvested many precious stones.

Knowing that he and Steve will continue to buy the mine, Obradovic said: "Hey, boss, good luck, you are back just in time, the town is going to hold a mine auction."

Li Du asked: "Mine auction? Auction the mine?"

Obradovic nodded excitedly: "Yes, just this weekend, you came back at the right time. As far as I know, there are fourteen or five mines that will be auctioned this time."

There are thousands of mines in Lightning Ridge, but only a small number of mines can produce gems at a certain time, and most mines are losing money.

In this way, the mine has no harvest, and the mine owners have no money to make. A mine can easily cost millions, which is a real estate investment. If it cannot appreciate or make money, it will depreciate.

Moreover, the Australian government also taxes mines just like land taxes on houses, and the tax rate is higher.

So many mine owners want to sell the mine when they can't get a harvest.

But it is not so easy to sell a mine. Not all mines are willing to take over. Once the mine has no output, its value will depreciate and eventually become a shit mine.

In the mine trading hall of Lightning Ridge, there are at least hundreds of mine transaction information. Compared with the hot housing market, the mining market is much more miserable, and there are not many people who take over.

No one took over the mines, and high land taxes were levied. Some mine owners went bankrupt or had no money to pay taxes, and eventually the mines were confiscated by banks and the government for auction.
