Li Du stayed at Remonin's place for one night and decided to return the next day. There was nothing fun to do here anyway, so he might as well go back to spend time with his parents.
Remonin came to him in the evening to discuss the security of the soldiers.
He was willing to send 50 soldiers and seven officers to South Africa through Li Du. The soldiers were paid 3,000 dollars a month, the officers were paid 5,000 dollars, and there was a commander who was paid 10,000 dollars.
In other words, Li Du had to pay nearly 200,000 dollars to Remonin every month.
He only needed to pay for food and accommodation, and Li Du did not have to worry about the rest.
Remonin promised that the soldiers he would send would be carefully selected. Not only would they have excellent fighting ability, but they would also be extremely loyal to him and would never do anything to harm the diamond mine.
Li Du was willing to accept this price. If he hired mercenaries, the ten of them would have to pay that much in a month, and he would have to worry about them playing dirty tricks behind his back.
Remonin asked that his soldiers be paid half a year's salary first. The soldiers would be stationed at the mine for three months, and the fifty would be divided into five shifts.
In this way, the people stationed at the mine would always be new and would not have any interaction with the locals. Even if they did, they would be rotated back to the barracks before they could figure out the local situation.
Li Du agreed and gave him a salary of 1.2 million dollars first and an additional five million dollars, which was divided into two parts: one to buy diamonds in the future, and the other to hire soldiers.
In fact, he was just spending money to invest in Remonin. The two sides became allies. One paid, and the other contributed. In the future, when Li Du encountered problems, Remonin would do his best to help him.
After they returned to South Africa, Lion Hunter helped Li Du with the cross-border labor export. The first batch of 20 soldiers selected by Remonin changed out of their uniforms and followed the officers into South Africa to the mine.
After staying in South Africa for two and a half days, they set off again. The next step was to fly to Australia.
It was summer in Australia, and the weather was hot.
The plane landed, and as soon as the plane door was opened, they were greeted by a wave of heat.
Li Du's parents had changed into unlined clothes on the plane, but they were still sweating from the heat.
Seeing this, the two of them drank hot water together.
Sophie was surprised and asked, "Why do you drink hot water? You should drink cold water on such a hot day. "
Li Du's father explained to her, "You can't drink cold water. It's the dog days of summer, so you have to drink hot water to let your body adapt to the weather from the inside out and force out the coldness in your bones."
"Otherwise, even though it's hot outside, it's still cold inside. Holding the cold in your body isn't a good thing, and your body will suffer in the future."
Sophie nodded as if she understood and accompanied him to drink a cup of hot water.
Li Du laughed at the side. It was difficult for Sophie. Americans did not like to drink hot water. They drank cold water all year round. Even in winter, they liked to drink cold water.
Sophie did this to show her respect for Mr. and Mrs. Li.
Mr. and Mrs. Martin didn't have to do that. When they got off the plane, they took out their cameras and started taking pictures. They were old-school Americans.
Li Du's parents wore shirts and skirts, while Mr. and Mrs. Martin changed into beach pants and skirts. Even though they were sixty years old, they were still as happy as children.
Li Du took out a few bottles of Huoxiang Zhengqi Water. Li Du's father looked at them and smiled happily. "Where did you get this stuff?"
Without hesitation, Li Du and Mrs. Li opened a small bottle and drank it.
Li Du had brought it from home. When he went to Africa, he had prepared a lot of Huoxiang Zhengqi Water. There were still a few bottles in the black hole.
Sophie couldn't do as the Romans do this time. She took a sniff and her pretty face turned pale. Luckily, she didn't faint.
Li Du laughed and quickly held her up. "Can't stand it? Forget it. This is Chinese medicine, but it's very effective against the heat. "
Sophie shook her head. "I have medicine for heat stroke. The smell of this medicine is too horrible."
The five little ones had to drink it. They stayed in the United States, and their fur changed according to the season in the northern hemisphere. They were all wearing cotton coats.
To help them avoid the heat, Sophie had trimmed their fur on the plane. However, it wasn't enough. Li Du caught them and poured the Huoxiang Zhengqi Water into their mouths.
Ah Meow let out a scream after drinking it. It squatted on the ground and stretched its neck. It opened its mouth wide and let out a whimper, trying to spit out the medicine.
Ah Ow looked aggrieved. What did I do? How could I be punished like this?
Honey badgers hated this bitter taste. They liked to eat honey, so after Ah Meng drank a bottle of Huoxiang Zhengqi Water, it was like a drunkard, dragging its tail in circles at the airport.
Ah Meng accidentally bumped into a box. It stared at the box as if the box had provoked it, or it was venting its anger from drinking the Huoxiang Zhengqi Water on the box. It hugged the box and started to bite it.
Later, when Li Du's father dragged the box away, it kept biting it.
They landed in Sydney. First, Brother Wolf took Ivana to see the doctor for an assessment of her recovery in preparation for the upcoming surgery.
Li Du and his men went to Sydney to find a hotel. Just like on the plane, the hotel had been booked. It was a five-star hotel owned by Li Du.
Similarly, there was a discount for staying there.
The Harry Winston group had a branch in Australia, and the southern hemisphere headquarters was in Sydney. The regional director and managers specially came to receive him. After all, Li Du was now the second-in-command in the Harry Winston group, and they had to curry favor with him.
However, Li Du did not want to entertain them, so he declined their invitation and arrangements. He took his family to the bank's hotel.
The hotel was located on the edge of the beach. Looking out from the window, one could see ten miles of silver beach and thousands of acres of clear water. The scenery was beautiful.
When they arrived at the hotel, Li Du received a call from the son of god. He asked, "Hey, Chris, what's up?"
The son of god said on the phone, "Did you get into trouble with George Anthony again? He's asking around about you and is contacting some treasure hunters to go against you. "
Li Du did not hide anything and told him about his encounter in Mexico and what he had done afterward.
The son of god sighed. "You are all people who refuse to suffer losses. Well, based on my understanding of George, this guy who values money as much as his life will not let it go after losing so much money this time. Be careful, he is not easy to deal with. "
Hearing this, Li Du laughed. "Let him come. He has no idea who he is offending."
After talking with Remonin, Li Du looked down on an opponent like George Anthony even more.
Remonin was now so short of money that he had even begun to have wicked ideas. He asked Li Du if he had any opponents. He could get his men to kill them and would not cause any trouble for Li Du.
Of course, Li Du would not do such a thing, but it did give him some confidence.
The problem between George Anthony and his son was not a problem in his eyes. He did not want to have any conflict with the father and son. There was no conflict of interest between the two sides.
Now that Li Du was a businessman, there was no conflict of interest. Making money was the top priority. Fighting was child's play.
