Li Du was surprised by the sea lady's presumptuous request. She wanted to cooperate with them.
"I talked to Big Fox and learned that you came to harvest black gold abalone not for profit, but for fun, right?"
Li Du said, "You could say that, but it does make a lot of money. It's a good business to make money."
She nodded. "Yes, it's a good business. I can make 800,000 to one million Australian dollars a year for my ex-husband."
"Now, obviously, I can't work with him anymore. I want to work with you, or rather, I want to work for you, diving for black gold abalone."
Hearing her request, Li Du frowned and said, "Do you want to continue diving?"
She smiled bitterly. "I don't know what else I can do. Besides, I actually like diving for black gold abalone, which is the best way to realize the value of a woman."
Li Du said, "In that case, why don't you buy a black gold abalone harvesting permit yourself? You have five million. You can buy one, right? "
She shook her head and said, "The black gold abalone harvesting permit is the favorite thing of all Australian robbers. Even if I could buy it, it would be difficult to keep it, so I'd better not take the risk."
She paused and said, "And if I buy a harvesting permit, it can only be used during the harvesting season. It's not harvesting season now, and only your harvesting permit allows me to go into the sea."
Li Du said, "It's going to be winter soon, and the water temperature here will be very low."
She laughed. "I grew up in Hokkaido. In fact, when I was a child, it was cold when I went into the sea to catch some seafood. Here, it's nothing. I'll just wear a thick diving suit. "
Hearing these words, Li Du was quite tempted by her proposal.
If he wanted to continue harvesting black gold abalone, she was the most suitable partner. She had a strong diving ability, had learned to harvest abalone from an early age, and was experienced. She was a very good black gold abalone harvester.
Li Du found it difficult to choose. He said, "Why don't we let Big Fox decide? I'm leaving in a few days, and I'll give him the black gold abalone harvesting permit."
He had received the Lightning Ridge black opal harvest diary from Bob and was ready to go to New South Wales to see if he could find some gems.
As the water temperature dropped, he could not bear to continue diving for black gold abalone.
Besides, as the sea woman had said, harvesting black gold abalone was mainly out of interest, not because he really wanted to make a fortune from it.
The big party lasted all night. After dawn, the party ended, and the black gold abalone harvesters were ready to go on vacation.
However, there was one more thing to do before the vacation, and that was to deal with some things.
Every black gold abalone harvesting season was a tense and continuous battle. The participating fishermen would prepare a lot of things, including diving suits, boats, and all kinds of living tools.
Now that the battle was over, they had to get rid of these things.
It was rather wasteful to do so. Many of the items were newly purchased during the season and could be used for a long time.
However, Australia was not like the United States. There were storage leasing businesses, and most of the fishermen were rich. They did not care about this small amount of money. When it came to fishing season, they were more willing to buy new storage.
Diving suits and other items needed to be maintained when they were not in use, but the harvesters were busy enjoying their lives and vacations when they were closed. How could they have the time to maintain them?
Diving was a very dangerous job, and for their own safety, they were more willing to change into a new set of equipment when the new season arrived to ensure their own safety.
With a black gold abalone harvesting license in hand, making money was only a matter of time. As long as they were alive, there was money to be made.
So after the big party, the cross street became a big market again. Many people set up stalls here, but this time they did not sell black gold abalone, but second-hand goods.
At this time of year, some tourists, islanders, and owners of diving equipment rental shops would come to Taobao, which, like the old goods market in the United States, could make money.
Hans called Li Du to go to the market, which was their old business. He had not touched these things since he came to Australia and still missed them.
When they arrived at the cross street market, Li Du found that there were not only diving supplies but also many other second-hand goods, including some daily necessities, bicycles, motorcycles, and even cars.
This was the result of the development of the cross street market. In the past few years, only harvesters sold diving equipment there, which attracted more people, and some people came to sell other things.
Now the cross street market was no longer simply a place for harvesters to sell old goods, but had developed into a large annual old goods market.
Li Du was interested and released the little bug to look for valuable things in the stalls.
The little bug flew close to the stall and then went into a cabinet.
The cabinet was not big, only half a meter high and a meter long, with four legs supporting a table with drawers, a bit like the single desk Li Du used in elementary school.
From the appearance, it could be seen that the cabinet was handmade. Someone had polished the wood and assembled it. It was not beautiful, but it was strong and durable.
There was a mess of things in the drawer, including several boxes, each with a small car in it. It was these small cars that attracted the little bug.
There were motorcycles, tricycles, and all-terrain four-wheeled vehicles, which were the size of a child's palm.
They were not ordinary cars. Li Du looked closely and found that they were made of watch accessories.
For example, the wheels were made of the back of a man's watch, the wheel rims were fixed with a watch strap, the headlights were made of a woman's watch dial cover, and the tires were made of a connected watch chain.
The cars were small and exquisitely made. Li Du used his ability to turn back time, and a series of pictures appeared.
In the earliest picture, there was an old man with snow-white hair sitting in a room. There were clocks on the walls of the room, and there were several tables in the room, each with a watch on it.
Some of the tables had books, all thick tomes, and on the table were blueprints depicting watches that had been designed.
Looking back, there were some small boxes next to the old man. The boxes were full of watches, but these watches were either broken chains, broken dials, or damaged parts.
In short, they were all broken watches.
The old man wore special high-definition glasses, which Li Du had seen before. Only professional watch repairmen would use. He patiently dismantled the watches and built them into a small car.
Obviously, these small cars were carefully built by the old man. Li Du looked at the logo on the back of the watch dial, which was a golden crown with five letters: ROLEX!
