Li Du bought the number 122 mine for only 680,000 Australian dollars, which was lower than the market price. How could a normal mine be sold at such a low price?
The owner, a little old man, said he was going to sell the mine for retirement, so he was willing to pay a low price, just to get rid of it quickly.
In fact, Li Du knew the real reason. The old man offered a low price because he couldn't control the mine, and his neighbors were bullying him.
The mines in Lightning Ridge were divided by the government according to area. They were distributed like a chessboard on the ground, and each mine was surrounded by other mines.
To the west of number 122 was the number 121 mine, to the east was the number 123 mine, to the north was the number 240 mine, and to the south was the number 49 mine. There were also four more mines in four corners.
It was surrounded by eight mines. Of course, except for the few at the edge, the other mines were also surrounded by eight mines. It was like a chessboard.
Under normal circumstances, neighboring mines would not interfere with each other, and everyone would dig their own mines.
However, the number 122 mine was very unlucky. Its eight neighbors seemed to be very domineering, and all eight mines dug into its territory.
That was to say, on the surface, the nine mines were normally distributed, but underground, the pits of the surrounding eight mines all entered the number 122 mine.
Li Du found this problem with the little bug, and he had to solve it.
Aubrey and the others had been in Lightning Ridge for more than a decade and were naturally familiar with the rules of this gray area. When Li Du chose to buy the number 122 mine, they inquired about it.
The information they got was as Li Du had seen it: "The surrounding bastards are very strong. They regard the number 122 mine as their own territory and are all digging underground."
Hearing this, Li Du frowned and said, "Is Mr. Anderson so easy to bully? Why didn't he call the police? Isn't this an illegal invasion? "
Holiday shrugged and said, "This mine doesn't actually belong to him. It belongs to his brother, but his brother died in an accident, and he inherited the mine."
"In the past, his brother was a very strong man, so no one dared to provoke him. Mr. Anderson was the opposite of his brother, very cowardly, so the surrounding bastards began to bully him. Of course, it was also revenge because his brother used to bully these idiots. "
Li Du said, "He's really cowardly. But mining is really a dangerous job. Did the previous owner die here?"
Aubrey grinned and said, "No, that guy died in a woman's bed."
Li Du was shocked. "There's such a thing?"
The few burly men smiled ambiguously and started gossiping.
The matter was very simple. The previous owner of the mine, Little Anderson, had hooked up with a married woman, and their affair was discovered by the woman's husband. In the end, Little Anderson, with his strong personality, ignored the husband's warning and continued to hook up with the man's wife.
So, when the two of them hooked up again, the husband couldn't bear it anymore and rushed into the bedroom with a gun. Then, the adulterous couple's blood splattered on the bed …
Li Du listened with great interest, mainly because the eight idiots were all vulgar people. They described in great detail what had happened in bed, even describing the positions they had made.
Li Du felt that this was much more exciting than watching porn!
After listening, he asked, "How do you know so clearly? Damn it, you're not making up stories to tease me, are you? "
Aubrey raised his hand and said, "No, no, no, boss, I swear we didn't. This is the truth, because we've all seen it."
Holiday took out his mobile phone and showed it to Li Du. He grinned and said, "This was filmed by Willie. He installed a camera in the bedroom and recorded it and posted it on the Internet."
Willie was the victim of this incident, the cuckold king who ended up in prison.
Li Du was not interested in the video. He watched it for a while, but it was not as interesting as what these guys said.
After understanding the cause and effect of the matter, he had to solve it.
After thinking about it, he asked the eight men to invite the eight mine owners to the bar for a table talk.
Six of the eight mine owners came, and two said that they were not in Lightning Ridge. In that case, Li Du would deal with the six first.
In the afternoon, the miners were working, and the bar was relatively quiet. He sat in the corner and planned his trip.
It was almost the end of May, and he had to go to Sydney to attend the autumn jewelry salon.
Brother Wolf and Godzilla sat on either side of him. Behind them, the other mine owners opened the door and came in. They did not come alone, but brought one or two people with them.
Seeing this scene, Godzilla laughed.
Li Du asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Godzilla said, "I thought of my old life. When I was in Mexico, I often participated in such things, gang negotiations."
Li Du looked at his side, and then at the mine owners and the miners who came in. It was true. Most of the mine owners and miners were fat, tall, and strong, not much different from gang thugs.
When the six mine owners arrived, Li Du extended his hand and introduced himself to them in a friendly manner.
A mine owner named York Lennon smiled and said, "We are very familiar with you, Mr. Li. We have seen you on TV twice."
Li Du had been on TV three times since he came to Australia. The first time was when a shark flew ashore, the second time was when he rescued kidnapped children, and the third time was when he rescued Marcos and Aubrey not long ago.
Another mine owner named Wright said, "Yes, we have long heard of your name. In fact, we met not long ago. I was at Marcos' party."
"Marcos is such a coward," a mine owner sneered. "He was scared out of his wits after being buried once? Ha, even women are tougher than him, "a mine owner sneered.
Aubrey and the others were also there. They had been greeting the mine owners at the door, and now that the mine owners had arrived, Li Du arranged for them to sit around and drink.
Hearing the mine owner's words, the four men's faces changed. Aubrey stood up and shouted, "F * ck you, Ulysses, what did you say?"
The mine owner looked at him disdainfully and said, "Do you have the right to speak here? I am talking to your boss. You have no right to interrupt. "
The other mine owners chimed in, "What, Aubrey, do you still think of yourself as Marcos' subordinate? If that's the case, don't work in Li's mine. "
"Li, control him. You have to control your subordinates. These miners are wild horses. You have to learn to control them."
"Sit down, Aubrey. Aren't you tired of standing? If you are unhappy, you can go to Marcos and complain. "
Aubrey was angry and embarrassed. Indeed, he was now Li Du's subordinate. These people did not attack Li Du, so it was not right for him to take the lead.
Li Du looked at the scene with a smile. He felt that things were getting interesting. These people were really like gangsters. They were setting him up.
