Hearing Brother Wolf's words, Li Du had a question. "Isn't that a bit contradictory? If I have enough funds to support Remonin, but after supporting him for a period of time, wouldn't my loss be even greater if he abandoned me? "
Brother Wolf said, "Unless Remonin thinks that he doesn't need anyone's cooperation and is sure that he can take it all, he can't do that. This is a matter of integrity in international cooperation between warlords."
Li Du laughed. "They have integrity?"
After meeting Goodwin, he did not believe that there was integrity among these people. Goodwin, that madman, had treated him like a fat sheep.
Brother Wolf explained, "Boss, they do not have integrity in China, but they are very trustworthy internationally. They are even more trustworthy than a large number of multinational groups in Europe.
"Because African politicians and warlords lack funds to maintain their power, they need external support. In fact, they do not rely on resources to get support, but on integrity. So integrity is very important to them. "
Li Du suddenly understood. So that was the case.
He asked again, "Then why can he leave me behind if I sponsor him for a while?"
"Because integrity does not need to be maintained in all aspects, as long as there is integrity to one party. If you can support Remonin's development alone, then Remonin can be responsible for you. His integrity is specifically targeted at you. "
Li Du nodded to show that he understood. This was really a big problem.
As the car continued to drive to Phoenix, he thought about this problem all the way.
If he could not support Remonin financially this time, the two of them would probably have to break up.
If they broke up now, Li Du would not lose anything. He had made money from Remonin and had not invested it yet.
However, if they did not break up, he would have to be careful. He would have to invest in Remonin in the future.
Now he had money, a lot of money, more than four hundred million dollars. Remonin calculated that he would only need four to five hundred million dollars in the next few years.
In that case, it seemed that he could do something about it.
Back in Phoenix, Hans went to deal with the gains from the auction and to look for information on other high-value storage units. Li Du thought about this matter.
As soon as he returned, he received a few party invitations. Some were from Phoenix treasure hunters, and some were from Flagstaff. Everyone thanked Li Du for his help and invited him to join them.
On this trip to Nogales, Li Du had helped the treasure hunters around him reap a lot of rewards. Almost all the treasure hunters who followed him had made money. Some had even made quite a bit.
Thus, he became the God of Wealth in everyone's eyes, and the number of people who were willing to follow him soared.
The new bodyguard that Hans had found began to report in. The new bodyguard was the mixed-race man that Li Du had noticed before. His name was Zack-Ray, and his nickname was Firecracker.
He was a brawny man about 1.9 meters tall. Because he was of mixed blood, he looked a little like a Middle Eastern. His pupils, hair color, and skin color still retained the characteristics of a Chinese, but there were some changes to his facial lines.
Like Big Ivan, the people recruited by Brother Wolf were directly managed by him. Li Du trusted him very much.
However, Brother Wolf was busy recently. He had to prepare to go to Australia for the second stage of his daughter's surgery.
Due to the excellent nursing and the use of expensive and effective medicine, Ivana's body recovered well and could undergo the second stage of the surgery.
Now she was repairing the facial features and the skin on her face. She could roughly see it, but if you looked closely, you could still see the cracks and other problems between the facial skin.
The second stage of the surgery would completely repair the facial condition, and at the same time, the skin of the limbs would be repaired. In another six months, when everything was normal, the third stage of the surgery would be carried out, and Ivana would be completely changed.
When Firecracker arrived, Brother Wolf took the time to communicate with him. If he went to Australia to accompany his daughter, Li Du's safety would be in the hands of Big Ivan and Firecracker.
Brother Wolf was worried that the two of them would go on a business trip and had been communicating with them.
Li Du was unsure about Remonin's problem. He knew too little and had too little contact with such things, so he wanted to find someone to consult.
The best candidate was Cole. The Harry Winston group had a lot of business cooperation in Africa. Perhaps they had no contact with the local warlords and governments, but they knew something.
After Cole received his call, he gave him the same advice as Brother Wolf.
African governments and warlords were very trustworthy when it came to their partners. They also understood one thing: once they lost their international credibility, there would be no source of funds, so they paid special attention to this aspect.
With this answer, Li Du made up his mind.
He was ready to take a gamble, fully support Remonin's development in Mozambique, and find himself a strong ally.
As soon as he made this decision, Cole told him a very bad piece of super good news: Carlston was willing to complete the bet and change the shares to Li Du.
Carlston had 14% of the shares, and according to the agreement at the time, each unit was worth 12 million dollars, for a total of 168 million dollars!
In the past, this would have been super good news. Li Du had achieved his wish and become the number two shareholder of the Harry Winston group.
But now he was ready to support Remonin's development, which required a lot of financial support. Fortunately, he still had more than 200 million left after spending 160 million dollars, so the pressure was not great.
Cole asked Li Du excitedly, "Are you surprised to die now? Are you happy? Are you excited? "
What could Li Du say? He had mixed feelings!
So he rushed to New York to complete the change of shares. Because he had just returned to Phoenix and had to leave again, he took Sophie with him.
This time, he was accompanied by Brother Wolf, Big Ivan, and Sacre Ray. Brother Wolf took the two of them to familiarize themselves with the process.
Li Du and Sophie walked in front, followed by three big men. Sophie pursed her lips and chuckled. "I feel like I've become a national politician."
"That's nothing. In the future, I'll take you to a place where you'll feel like the head of the country, "Li Du said confidently.
He was, of course, talking about Remonin. Remonin had become the commander of the military region. When Li Du went over, he would certainly receive him like an international VIP, and there would be a big military parade.
Li Du boarded the plane. Sacre Ray sat beside him and the two chatted.
Sacre Ray's grandfather came to France during World War II. When he was young, he was adopted by a French priest, went to school in France, and eventually stayed.
The French priest was a good man. He adopted his grandfather but did not force him to change his surname. Sacre Ray's grandfather's surname was Ray, and later his children's surname was Ray.
"You can call me Old Ray," Sacre Ray said with a cheerful smile. "You can also call me by my nickname, Firecracker. Bang!"
Li Du said, "Are you very short-tempered? Why are you called Firecracker? "
Sacre Ray laughed. "No, no, I think I have a good temper. It's my grandfather who has a bad temper. That's the nickname I got from my grandfather and father."
