Twenty-eight stones had been cut, and four of them were of good quality. Altogether, they could be sold for sixty to seventy million. Although it was not enough to cover the cost, it was not a big loss.
Li Du clapped his hands and gestured for Tulsi's bodyguard to lock the warehouse. "Look carefully, brother. We did not touch any of your stones. We cut our own stones."
The bodyguard hurriedly smiled and said, "Yes, Mr. Li, no problem, no problem."
Zhong Da Pao said unhappily, "I have a problem, Master Li. How much money did we throw out? We did not even recover our investment. It's a big loss!"
Li Du smiled and said, "What loss? Didn't we make a profit? "
Zhong Da Pao was puzzled. "Profit? What do you mean? How did we make a profit? "
Li Du said, "Then tell me, where did we lose?"
Zhong Da Pao stretched out his hand and said, "We threw in hundreds of millions. Including that idiot from the Suo family, it's a total of two hundred million. In the end, this is all we got."
Li Du smiled and said, "The King's money has nothing to do with us. Our investment was more than ninety million. Now we can probably get back more than sixty million. If we find a suitable seller, these stones can be sold for seventy million. We only lost twenty million."
"Yes, we lost twenty million," Zhong Da Pao said, his heart aching.
Li Du said, "But we used twenty million to get rid of the King's control. We successfully entered Huika. Didn't we make a big profit?"
Liu Zi shook his head and said, "We didn't make a profit. Twenty million entrance fee. D * mn, the deposit for a public auction is not even that much! Besides, I get angry when I think about them stealing our stones. They are the ones who made a profit. Those stones must be very valuable! "
Li Du shook his head and said, "Impossible. Those stones are not worth much. Compared to their investment of more than ninety million, they are lucky to get back even half of it."
In fact, he knew that they could not get back a single cent because the missing stones were in his black hole space.
He had planned this from the beginning. He made full use of the conflict in the black hole space to provoke and increase the tension between the two sides.
In the eyes of outsiders, he was trying his luck to buy stones, as if he was a fool with a lot of money. In fact, he had carefully selected the stones he bought. For example, when he bought the black stones outside the field area, he bought them because there was good jade hidden in those stones.
The black stone had not been cut or polished, and it looked the same. No one could remember how much he had bought and what it looked like, so he put the stone with the jade in it into the black hole space on the spot.
Later on, he bought the raw materials. These materials were expensive, so he couldn't buy them all at once. He could only buy them in pieces. Moreover, because of their unique appearance, he didn't hide them in the Black Hole Space.
When it came to cutting the stones, at first they cut a pile of black material. The purpose was to provoke the King of Hpakant. Then, when he went into the warehouse to take out the raw materials and prepared to cut the raw materials, he hid a few valuable stones that were mixed together.
In the end, it was he who framed the King of Hpakant.
As the warehouse belonged to the King of Hpakant, the person guarding the warehouse was also the King of Hpakant. There were no surveillance cameras in the warehouse, so when the stone in the warehouse was missing, no one would suspect him, but the King of Hpakant.
Especially the King of Hpakant, who was greedy and had a criminal record. No matter how you looked at it, everyone thought that the King of Hpakant had hidden the stones.
Li Du was in a good mood. He had bought a lot of good materials with 200 million yuan. He estimated that he could earn several times more from it. Besides, the King of Hpakant had just left. It was killing two birds with one stone.
Zhong Da Pao and Liu Zi sighed. Whether they lost 20 million or 30 million, it was a huge sum of money for them!
Li Du said, "Alright, don't look so sad. The big stone sale is right in front of us. Do we not have a chance to make money? Besides, the money we lose this time is on my account. It has nothing to do with you. "
Zhong Da Pao hurriedly shook his head and said, "How can we do that? Young Master Li, you are looking down on me. "
Li Du said, "Don't be stubborn with me. Keep your money to feed the people in the village. This loss was my idea. I did it to chase away the King of Hpakant. This money was well spent."
Liu Zi said, "Hey, Young Master Li, if I had known this would happen, I would have brought my brothers to fight with them. At most, it would be a fight and save 20 to 30 million. It would be worth it to fight the government army!"
Li Du shook his finger and said, "The most precious thing in the world is life. No matter how beautiful a stone is, it is not worth mentioning in front of life."
"That's in America and China," Liu Zi said. "Life is worthless in Hpakant. Hey, Da Mao, come closer to me. There are many people who want to get you now. Be careful not to fall into their hands. "
The reason why the incident with the King of Hpakant happened was because of the existence of Da Mao. Everyone, including Da Mao, thought that the money Li Du lost had something to do with Da Mao.
Da Mao apologized to Li Du, embarrassed. Li Du pulled him to his side and smiled. "What are you apologizing for? Just focus on buying stones and we'll make more money from now on! "
They returned to the market, and immediately a group of people gathered around to show him the stones. "Boss, boss, look at this. It's a nest of chickens from Damakan. It's rare in Huika."
"Mine is good. Look at the skin of my stone. How is it? Is it bright? It's green and shiny. There might be imperial jade inside! "
"Boss, this is a good material from Nam Ki. You just cut out Nam Ki jade, right? This is definitely a good material … "
Li Du pushed the group away and said, "Do you think I'm stupid and rich? What do you mean by a nest of chickens is a good material and it's fun to fool me? These materials are not good. I'm not buying them! "
The stone sale gathered materials from all the fields. The market was crisscrossed, and there were traces of stones everywhere.
Da Mao took the lead and Li Du was in charge of checking. They began to carefully choose the stones.
Huika was their last stop. Although Li Du had not yet gone to the private fields of Longken, Xiangdong, and Old Hpakant, he decided to give up on going to those places.
His black hole space was already filled with weapons and jade stones. Enough was enough. He would come back to Hpakant again in the future. When that time came, he would go to the private fields of Longken and the other fields.
The group stayed in Huika for two days and two nights. They walked around the market and bought more than 60 million worth of materials.
According to the rules, they still only cut half of the stones. They brought the rest of the stones back and opened them once every few days. Otherwise, if their harvest was too shocking, it would be too eye-catching.
Half of the stones were also eye-catching enough because they had opened up jade worth hundreds of millions.
Fortunately, the stone sale would have big stones worth hundreds of millions every day. Hence, people were only surprised by their harvest. They did not suspect anything or be surprised.
After leaving Huika, they prepared to go back. When they left the door, Zhong Da Pao rushed over and said, "There's a problem. I just got some bad news from a brother."
