First, Maung Kyaw Zin would use Wooku Town's name to contract Dena Mountain. Li Du would pay for him and invest in the purchase of saplings to make Dena Mountain green.
Second, Li Du could arrange for people to mine stones on the mountain, but only on a limited scale. Neither he nor anyone else could bring stones down from the mountain, nor could they bring stones out of Wooku Town.
Third, Li Du would invest in Wooku Town every year in the name of donations. He would gradually improve the town's residential, educational, and medical environment.
Fourth, Li Du would help Maung Kyaw Zin to get the jade carvings back.
After some discussion, this gentleman's agreement was finalized.
Li Du thought for a while and said, "Change the fourth condition. Change it to 'if you have the ability to get the jade carvings back, I will help you. What I mean is, you have to at least have enough money or something to exchange, right? "
Maung Kyaw Zin nodded reluctantly. "Alright, that can be changed. But I'm still worried. Are you sure you're not doing this for the jade mine? "
Li Du said, "Let's not worry about what happens next. Don't worry, I won't show the jade mine. Otherwise, what would I be after? For the government and the big shots in Hpakant to fight for control of Dena Mountain? "
Maung Kyaw Zin looked at him suspiciously. "I have the right to know. If you want to mine the jade mine, I won't agree!"
Li Du said, "If you don't agree today, others will come to mine after hearing about the jade mine on Dena Mountain. What will you do then?"
Seeing that Maung Kyaw Zin was silent, Li Du reached out and patted him on the shoulder. "If you cooperate with me, at least there's an advantage. You can build the town, and you can keep an eye on me. If I bring the jade out of town or spread the news, you have many ways to punish me, right?"
Maung Kyaw Zin did not answer. He stared at him and said, "Your goal is still the jade mine on the mountain, right?"
Li Du did not answer. He held out his hand and said, "Mayor, it's a pleasure working with you. Let's look forward to the development of Wooku Town together!"
Maung Kyaw Zin hesitated, but finally put his hand on it unwillingly. He said, "If the news of the jade mine's existence gets out, really, we're all done for!"
Li Du smiled. "I know what I'm doing, mayor. I won't bring a single stone with me. You can keep an eye on me. I promise you that when my people and I enter and leave town, you can check our luggage, can you? "
Maung Kyaw Zin said, "I hope you keep your promise!"
Zin In Kyaw Zin Li.
He had changed his mind at the last minute. His original purpose was to find a different kind of jade here. He was not interested in jade mines because there were many fields in Hpakant. He could use the space-time bugs to pick up as much as he wanted.
However, after discovering what Maung Kyaw Zin had done to protect the town, he changed his mind. Since he had already discovered the jade mine, why didn't he mine it in small batches and use the black hole to transport it?
This way, he could perfectly protect the mine's privacy, and he could even make a fortune.
In his plan, he would arrange for his trusted subordinates to excavate the jade mine. Furthermore, they would not dig randomly. He would formulate an excavation plan and target the vein. In the future, he would come to Wooku Town a few times every year to take away the mined ore.
Anyway, he had to go to Remonin to get the diamonds every year. When the time came, he could fly a bit more and come here to take the jade ore. It was not troublesome.
It was easy to deal with the Diamond. He was a shareholder of Harry Winston, Inc. In the future, he would buy shares of other luxury companies. Diamonds, opals, and jade could be sent to those companies.
After formulating the cooperation plan, Li Du gave Maung Kyaw Zin 200 million Kyat the next day to let him handle the contract for Dena Mountain. At the same time, he started to understand the operating procedures of charity in Myanmar and was prepared to donate a school to the town.
This cooperation could be considered a win-win situation, each taking what they needed.
Li Du did not think he was a good person, but he was more innocent than Maung Kyaw Zin. Maung Kyaw Zin was involved in a murder case. He just did not tell the truth.
Moreover, he did not lie to Maung Kyaw Zin. When the contract was signed, he did not promise not to dig for jade on the mountain. He only promised not to take a single stone from Dena Mountain.
Maung Kyaw Zin could not guess what Li Du was thinking. He did not know what Li Du was up to. In his mind, since he was the one who kept an eye on Li Du and prevented him from taking away the rocks on the mountain, Li Du's goal was not the jade mine.
The next day, the strange ants that were attracted by the copper pot and furnace had disappeared. The construction team returned to the mine.
After a few days of hard work, they reached the edge of the mine. At this point, Li Du asked them to stop.
He could not let anyone other than his confidants know about the existence of the jade mine. What happened next had nothing to do with the construction team. He paid them and dismissed them.
The little bug explored the area clearly. Li Du came up with an excavation plan. He left Godzilla, whom he trusted the most, to lead the team. Firecracker, Vampire, and a few others stayed behind to dig for stones with him.
In mid-October, the public auction in Hpakant was about to begin. Zhong Da Pao called him and said that he had registered. The registration fee was one hundred euros, and the proof of one's worth was two million euros.
In other words, one could not participate in the auction without a net worth of two million euros.
This year's auction was the 54th. Starting in March 1964, Myanmar held a public auction every year for decades.
In recent years, the public auction had become more frequent. Sometimes it was held twice a year. This year, because the government had ordered the closure of some mines, the production of ore was reduced. Hence, only this year's auction was held, restoring the tradition of previous years.
The public auction was directly under the jurisdiction of the Myanmar central government's Ministry of Mines. The organizing committee was a permanent office.
Since they had reached an agreement, there was no need for Li Du to stay. He returned earlier than expected and went to Hpakant to check on the situation.
It was another bumpy ride. When he saw Zhong Da Pao and Liu Zi, he was on the verge of vomiting.
Da Mao's physical fitness was much worse than his. He lost his balance and almost knelt in front of Zhong Da Pao.
Zhong Da Pao quickly helped him up and asked in surprise, "Brother Mao, what do you mean?"
Li Du smiled and said, "Are you acknowledging Master Pao as your master? Kneeling and kowtowing? "
Liu Zi held his waist and laughed. "Oh, I thought I was going to acknowledge Brother Pao as my father. If that's the case, you have to call me Uncle Liu. Don't call me Master Liu in the future. Otherwise, you'll have the wrong seniority."
Da Mao pushed Zhong Da Pao away and rolled his eyes. "Go, go. How's the matter with the King of Hpakant? Did anything happen while we were away? "
Zhong Da Pao looked at him and then at Li Du. He said, "Hey, shouldn't you be the one asking that? Why, has Da Mao taken over? "
Da Mao smiled and said, "Don't try to sow discord between us. I'm just asking on behalf of the big boss. He must be very concerned about this matter."
