Chapter 578

Hearing what he wanted to hear from Owen, a veteran in the gem industry, Li Du smiled and nodded, and took Sophie out.

Owen asked them to keep them: "It's time for lunch soon, Lee, Miss Martin, why don't you stay and have lunch together? I know there is a restaurant in Winslow that does great lamb."

Li Du thanked him friendly and said that he wanted to walk here by himself.

In this case, Owen has no reason to keep them.

After going out, Sophie asked strangely: "You just agreed to his price like this? Why don't you find a few more jewelry stores to inquire about the price? I recently learned Chinese, and there is a very good saying called shopping around."

Li Du said: "This is a smart boss. He is the biggest jeweler in Winslow. I bet he has already given me the best discount. If you want to sell for a higher price, you have to go to Los Angeles or New York. "

He wasn't interested in waiting that long, and he didn't have time to leave. He still had to continue looking for fire opal.

This batch of fire opals earned him more than 2.6 million yuan, and he believed that Owen could also earn a lot from it, at least 500,000 to 600,000 yuan.

The opals he offers are all good quality and most have play-of-color, which means they have nice patterns in them.

This kind of fire opal is a work of art in itself, and can be sold with simple processing.

There are a few that don't have play-of-color but are also of good value because they are so clear that they can be cut into faceted stones.

The value of faceted fire opal mainly depends on its own color and transparency. The more transparent, the better the fire after cutting, the darker the body color, and the higher the value.

Driving a pickup truck, the four of them strolled casually in Winslow.

Sophie lay on the window looking at the autumn street scenery outside, and sighed: "Time is so fast, spring is coming and autumn is coming, I feel like I just entered the scene of spring a second ago."

Da Ao snorted, "Arizona still has spring? I thought it was summer just a second ago."

For black people, summer is too much torment, especially in Arizona where the sun is still very hot.

Sophie giggled and said, "Well, even if it was summer a second ago, the time passed quickly."

Li Du lowered his head to operate the phone, and then a text message sounded from Da'ao and Godzilla.

Godzilla turned on the phone, glanced at it and then turned it off, parked behind Sophie to buy something, and Da Ao, who was driving earlier, opened it and took out the phone to look, surprised: "Boss, 20,000 yuan?"

He sealed a red envelope of 20,000 yuan to two of his subordinates, which was regarded as a small dividend for them.

Godzilla and Da Ao are both Li Du's subordinates, and it's okay if he doesn't give money, but Li Du still chooses to give them a small dividend every time he makes money.

But usually there was not so much, it was several thousand yuan. This time Li Du made more money, with more than 2.6 million yuan in hand, so he decided to give the two more money.

In China, there is a saying that fighting against one's kindness promotes one's hatred against another's, and there are also stories about people's lack of heart and snakes swallowing an elephant, but he is not afraid that doing so will increase the appetite of the two, because he trusts these two people.

Even though Godzilla and Ou had not been with him for a long time, less than a year, both of them had good character.

With their personalities, as long as Li Du fulfills his promise and pays them on time, they will work for him faithfully.

But this is not enough, Li Du needs two people to be loyal to him, follow him with determination, and stand in the same trench with him in the face of everything.

To achieve this, it takes a long time to be influenced by the charisma of his personality, which he couldn't do, so he changed another method, using money to win their loyalty when the two were in trouble.

Loyalty bought with money can be bought with money. This is true, but there is a premise, that is, under the same circumstances.

When the two first met Li Du, they were both at the bottom of their lives. Li Du took care of their food and gave them high treatment.

In the future, they will no longer be so short of money and status. Even if someone gives them a high salary, it is just icing on the cake.

Besides, Li Du was quick to get money, and he was happy to give money. No one of his opponents was more generous than him in this regard.

Facts have proved that his approach is right, Godzilla and Ou are now obeying him, and there were several violent conflicts before, and both of them gave priority to protecting Li Du.

According to their working relationship, if Li Du just paid them normal salaries, they would never do so.

Sophie bought ice cream and distributed it among the three, then took out the three small rice bowls and dug creamy ice cream into their rice bowls.

The three little guys stuck their heads into the rice bowl, and it was a joy to eat with their mouths open.

I had lunch in the town and carried out supplies. After a break, the second wave of work began.

Li Du reselected a piece of land and paid another thousand yuan, so that they could stay in the national park for two days and two nights.

Driving on the road, Sophie saw two acquaintances, pulled down the window and waved: "Hi, Brende, Alicia, hello."

Brende is Stephen's cousin, a professional ore picker, and the two of them are riding a big motorcycle on the road.

In every industry of treasure pickers, there are various standard configurations. Just look at the standard configurations and you will probably know what they do.

Almost all treasure hunters in warehouse auctions drive trucks. They have to clean up the warehouse and accommodate everything in the warehouse. Only trucks can hold it.

Treasure hunters in second-hand goods trade open pickup trucks. They choose second-hand goods. There are rarely large quantities of second-hand goods or large quantities of second-hand goods, so pickup trucks can meet the demand.

Motorcycles are the iconic equipment of ore pickers. This industry only needs some boxes, a tent and some tools. Motorcycles are the most suitable choice.

Moreover, the gravel beach mines in the national park are not good, and the big motorcycles have high flexibility and are more suitable for the terrain here.

Brende, who was driving, saw Sophie and recognized her.

This is easy. Sophie's appearance and temperament are quite unique, and it is hard for those who have seen her to forget her.

Sophie's beauty often makes men lose their minds and then do some stupid things, such as the painter who was scared away earlier.

However, Li Du thinks that it is impossible for all men to have this kind of virtue. Cousins ​​Brende and Stephen are not such kind of people.

But what happened next made him doubt his own judgment. When he saw Sophie, Brende waved his hands excitedly!

Li Du was scared to pee, brother, do you know that you are riding a motorcycle? It’s okay to hold the handlebar with one hand, but you have to pay attention to the terrain. This place is full of gravel. You can’t hold the motorcycle with two hands, right?

Sure enough, after Brende let go of one hand, the shaking motorcycle and the untied wild dog staggered and slipped to the ground, throwing the two people out of the car together.

Li Du drove over quickly, and Brende got up at this time, he didn't care about dusting his body, and said excitedly: "Hey, Li, hurry up, hurry up to the gemstone pit!"
