Chapter 825 824. The Backfilled Mine (35)

When handing over the procedures for the mine, Mim, the original owner of the mine, was full of complaints: "Buying this damn mine was my biggest mistake in ten years, the biggest mistake!"

Li Du asked: "You have owned this mine for ten years? How much did you pay for it?"

The two parties had already signed the contract, and Mim was not afraid of Li Du breaching the contract, so he told the truth: "At that time, I spent 250,000 yuan, a total of 250,000 yuan!"

Li Du said with a smile: "That's not bad, 250,000 yuan becomes 800,000 yuan, this investment can be considered a living."

Mim said dissatisfiedly: "A job? What is it? Ten years ago, 250,000 could buy a beautiful beach house in Sydney. Now? Can you buy it with 800,000? You can't buy it with a million. arrive!"

He went back this time to buy a house. Mim has worked day and night in Lightning Ridge for ten years, and he has given up on getting rich. He wants to go to Sydney to live a simple and easy life.

Australia is sparsely populated, and people mainly live in some big cities. Many people here in Lightning Ridge want to dig gems and then go to Sydney to buy a house.

After the transaction was completed, mine No. 408 belonged to Li Du.

After getting the mine, he took Luguan, Godzilla and others to the river to catch crayfish.

Ah Miao and Gan Crispy Noodles didn't like to be near the river. Ah Ao saw that they had caught crayfish, and it was far away from the poor one. Only Ali jumped and followed Li Du.

Kangaroos are herbivores and eat a variety of plants, and some also eat fungi. Crayfish have a very mixed diet, but they also like to eat plants.

In this way, the delicate aquatic plants by the river belong to the common food of both parties. Ali's little mouth is very picky, and he has not been completely weaned yet, so he can only eat the tenderest aquatic plants.

So when it reached the river, it bounced around looking for delicate aquatic plants.

Crayfish are not stupid, they also like delicate aquatic plants, so Li Du gradually discovered that there are often more crayfish living in places where Ali looks for aquatic plants to eat.

This discovery made his process of catching crayfish much easier. Ali was also very happy to see that he could help Li Du.

Going back with a box of crayfish, Godzilla and others began to clean it up, while Li Du prepared to cook.

A Toyota pickup truck drove into his mine, and Ah Ao finally found a way to realize his self-worth. He rushed up with his ears stunned and yelled at the pickup truck.

A middle-aged man in his forties came out of the pickup truck. He was tall and burly, wearing big sunglasses, full of whiskers, and a gold chain around his neck. He looked like a gangster in a gangster movie.

However, his posture was very low. After getting off the car, he stretched out his hand to Li Du: "Hi, buddy, I'm Marcos Randy, your neighbor!"

Li Du pointed to the mine to the west and said, "Randy's mine must be your site?"

The mines in Lightning Ridge have a number, which is an officially recognized mark. In addition, the owners will also name their mines, with various names.

Marcos nodded and said, "Yes, that's mine. To the west, there are Randy II and Randy III. Those are mine. I have three mines here."

Li Du shook hands with him and said with a smile, "Millionaire?"

Marcos said with a self-deprecating smile: "Ha, are you a loser? I mainly bought these mines with a loan, and I just work for the bank. They are nothing compared to you."

What he said may not be true. The mines in Lightning Ridge are worth hundreds of thousands or millions, but the owners of the mines are not necessarily rich. Most of them bought them with loans, and they have to pay a lot of money every month. Interest.

Li Du said: "You will have good luck. Your mine is good, and the mines here are all good. You should have dug out a lot of gems here, haven't you?"

Marcos smiled and said, "How do you know? That guy Mim doesn't know, he's been with me for six years."

Li Du said: "From what you see in your eyes, how much a person can gain, eyes can't lie, your eyes are completely different from Mim's."

Gem mining is private. Marcos changed the subject and said, "I have something to discuss with you this time. As neighbors, we have to live in peace and friendship, right?"

Li Du nodded, waiting for his next words, what does this buddy mean?

Marcos continued: "Obradovic, do you remember this guy? He offended you and was punished by you."

Li Du said: "Of course, he is a good guy."

Although he had fought, he felt pretty good about Obradovic. This strong man of Eastern European descent was a rough man with a bad temper but a good heart.

At that time, they had just finished fighting, and Obradovic saw that he and Blatche were very close, so he came up and warned him, saying that there was something wrong with Blatche.

From this point of view, Li Du felt good about Obradovic, and he didn't take the previous conflict between the two sides into his heart.

Hearing what he said, Marcos thought he was talking ironically, so he looked at his expression specially, and then said: "Aub is a bastard with a bad temper, and he likes to make trouble after drinking, but he is indeed a good guy, I mean Say, you have had conflicts before..."

"That's nothing, really nothing." Li Du said, "I know who he is, a kind-hearted, bad-tempered guy, just like my subordinates."

Marcos saw that what he said was from the heart, and said happily: "Yes, yes, that's it, Aub is such a bastard."

Obradovic is his miner, just like the man who was beaten up by Brother Wolf that day, they all mine for him.

Marcos is not a good-tempered person either. When he learned that his subordinates had been dealt with, he even thought about standing up for Obradovic and others.

As a result, he heard later that Li Du had dealt with Blatche badly. His subordinates were capable and capable, rich and powerful, and they were the major shareholder of Hai Rui Winston.

In this way, he will be honest, he understands that Li Du is not something he can offend, and instead of making enemies, it is better to lower his posture and apologize, maybe he can still become friends.

Li Du asked him to have a meal of crayfish together. Marcos looked like a tough guy, but he couldn't eat spicy food, and he almost shed tears when the meal was so spicy.

After staying in the mine for a day, Li Du took everyone to familiarize themselves with the surrounding environment, and then turned around, he led his men to start working.

There are gem veins in the mine, and there are no fewer than those in No. 114.

Mim, the former owner of the mine, was unlucky. In fact, the ore lode was very close to a mine he dug. You only need to dig more than ten meters ahead to find gems.

As a result, his mine was dug to the edge of the vein, but finally stopped, and the ore was backfilled, which made it cheaper for Li Du.

Li Du determined where the ore veins were, and asked Godzilla and Brother Wolf to start working with the backfilled crushed ore. This process was much simpler than digging a new mine.

In this way, Li Dumei squatted beside the mine, waiting to dig out gems.
