Chapter 1175 1175. The Ford Brothers (45)
Seeing that Li Du was eating very nourishing, Steve reminded: "Just eat a few, don't eat too much, they have a high carbon content in the body, so they need to be processed, so it's not suitable to eat directly."
Krill has only one digestive tube, the digestive system is underdeveloped, and the digestive efficiency is not high, so there is still a lot of carbon in its feces.
Of course, this "large amount" is a relative term. Other sea prawns and seafood also contain a lot of biochar. The human body will feel exhausted when it is metabolized, but it is no problem.
Steve's diet was formulated by a nutritionist, and he ate carefully, which was different from rough people like Li Du.
Ice ships are not so easy to steer. When sailing against the wind, you have to take down the sails and rely on your strength.
Li Du and Brother Lang worked together to row the boat, and then the boat got farther and farther away from the place where they launched into the water.
This made the two of them anxious, and they could only redouble their efforts, fight against the ocean currents, and wander around in the sea for a long time before there was any sign of landing.
During this period, Li Du saw the abundance of life in the Antarctic Sea, and behind them they encountered several swarms of shrimps, which roared and covered the sea surface, and the swarms of prawns were almost endless.
This is an important living area for krill. There is a cold current that surrounds the Antarctic continent in the Southern Ocean. form an upwelling.
This upwelling is rich in nutrients and, combined with the warmth of the water, allows for the proliferation of microorganisms, making the surrounding sea an ideal place for krill to feed and inhabit.
When the ice boat was docked, Brother Wolf went ashore first and anchored the cable to the shore. Li Du dragged the krills off the boat, and Ah Miao and Ah Meng followed, picking out the shrimps with their claws and eating them fiercely.
In the sleigh they returned the same way they had come.
Li Du and Brother Lang repaired the small sleigh and put the brakes back on.
It turned out that it was useless when I went back, Ah Ao remembers things, when Sophie called to stop, it slowed down its running speed, and slowly stopped with the sled car, very stable.
After stopping the car, Ah Ao looked back at Sophie wagging her tail, begging for petting and praise.
Sophie had no choice but to hug its head and kiss it twice, after all it has improved.
Elson had someone take the shrimp into the kitchen, and he was a good cook, and he was always in charge of Steve's diet.
It took Li Du a lot of energy to circle the sea, which made him sweat all over.
After he took a shower and went out, he found that there were two more people in the living room. These two people were similar in appearance, both of them were blond and blue-eyed, and they were chatting with Steve.
On the coffee table in front of the three of them, the meteorite that Ah Meng had just found was placed there.
Seeing Li Du, the three stood up, and Li Du waved: "Hi, Li, let me introduce you to two new friends. This is Myron Ford, and this is Newman Ford."
Li Du shook hands with the two. They were a pair of brothers, which could be seen from their appearance and surname.
Elson served another cup of hot coffee to Li Du, and Steve took the initiative to stir up the topic and asked, "Li, what do you think of Ford? Do you like Ford?"
Li Du didn't understand how he brought up such a topic, but soon he thought of the surnames of these two people, and suddenly realized.
He continued the topic and said: "Of course, I like it. Ford Motor is always the benchmark and leader in the world's auto industry. The first car I bought was the Ford Raptor pickup. It is simply amazing."
These brothers are from the Ford family!
Sure enough, after hearing his evaluation, the two brothers smiled reservedly, Steve winked at him, and said with a smile: "If you make our Ford brothers happy today, maybe they will build you a custom car. "
The younger Newman-Ford was about thirty-four or five years old. Compared with his elder brother, he was more active and said with a smile: "If Mr. Li likes it, it will be our honor to provide a car for the discoverer of this meteorite. We pleasure."
Li Du put down his coffee cup and became polite. This is the basic stage of social interaction. Everyone should compliment each other first.
Like the Vanderbilt family to which Steve belonged, the Ford family is also a famous big family in the United States. One is the king of land and the other is king of sea.
In terms of fame, the Ford family needs to be even more famous. Maybe at least half of the six billion people in the world know about this family, and even if they don’t, they know about Ford Motors.
However, as far as Li Du knows, the current situation of the Ford family may not be better than that of the Vanderbilt family. In terms of holding funds, the Ford family may be richer, but judging from the development, the Ford family is going downhill.
As he just said, Ford Motor is the leader in the global auto industry, but that was before. Since 2005, Ford Motor has been in a quagmire of losses and has been losing money for many years.
Even the patriarch of the Ford family handed over the position of executive president of Ford Enterprises, and now he is only the chairman of the enterprise.
Of course, Li Du would not say these words. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, not to mention that the Ford family is not skinny yet. The energy and wealth it possesses are beyond what Li Du can imagine.
They started chatting, and Steve introduced to Li Du that the Ford family also has a living area in Wilkes Land, which is larger than theirs, and there are now more than 30 people staying there.
With the same purpose as Steve, they also came to search for meteorites, and twenty of them went out to search almost every day.
"But in the past two years, we only found one meteorite, which is not half the size of yours." Newman spread his hands to Li Du, "I really envy your good luck, buddy."
Li Du said: "This meteorite does not belong to me anymore, I gave it to Steve."
Hearing this, Myron, who has always been very stable, was also surprised. He asked, "Steve told you about the value of this stone, right? Do you know its value?"
"It's not just the value, buddy, it's too difficult to search for. If someone sells the Wilkes Land meteorite, he can ask for any price, and I'll buy it." Newman added.
Steve laughed and said, "Are you jealous that I got this meteorite? Don't forget our agreement, I got it and you got it, and you also have ownership."
Newman said: "It must be obtained through legitimate channels, we are afraid that you will fool Mr. Li."
Steve said: "Then you really think highly of me. I don't have such ability, and Li doesn't care about money. He just bought an island and spent 170 million to buy an island in Tasmania."
The Ford brothers were even more surprised. They looked at Li Du with serious eyes. When they continued to chat, they placed Li Du at the same height as them and paid special attention to him.
Reciprocating, Steve kept saying good things about Li Du when chatting, just like promoting him, making the Ford brothers pay more and more attention to him.
Li Du understood what he meant, it was to open up contacts for himself.
