Driving to the trading hall, Li Du bumped into Wright, Ulysses, Kidd, and others, all of whom were his neighbors.
After he had filled the pits dug into the number 122 mine with his feces and urine, his neighbors did not react violently. When he went to Sydney, these people did not come looking for trouble.
Perhaps someone did. Godzilla said that the hot-tempered Schubert had brought men into the mine, and Aubrey and his men beat them up with pickaxes and shovels.
Schubert and his men were badly beaten. They may have called the police, but the police did not care. The reason was that they had trespassed into someone else's mine, and the law gave the mine owner the right to fight back.
The mine owners were afraid of Aubrey and his group of hotheads, so they didn't dare to visit him again.
When they saw Li Du, they looked unhappy.
Li Du ignored them. He knew a lot of mine owners in Lightning Ridge, especially after rescuing Marcus. Many mine owners had a good impression of him.
When he appeared with Steve, a mine owner immediately greeted him. "Haven't seen you for a while, man. Where have you been? Or have you found a big vein and are busy making a fortune? "
Li Du bumped fists with the mine owner and smiled. "I went to Sydney. Harry Winston and I had a jewelry exhibition. I went to take a look."
"Oh, it's a high-end event. I heard it's at the Four Seasons Hotel, right?"
"How enviable, Li. I heard that a lot of sexy female stars went. Ha, ha, you know what I mean. "The miner winked at him.
"Miranda Kerr, I saw on the news that she attended the jewelry show. Damn, that chick is really hot. I heard she and Orlando Bloom are getting a divorce. I want to take her."
As soon as the mine owner said this, there was laughter. "Ha, Eddie, you are dreaming. Miranda would not be your turn even if she were to divorce a hundred times."
Li Du said, "It's cruel to say that, but it's really not your turn now. Do you know Evan Spiegel? He's dating Miranda. "
This was what Sophie had told him. Of course, it was not confidential.
Miranda Kerr and the Elf Prince Orlando Bloom were rumored to be divorcing soon after they had a child. The two even openly admitted that they were in the process of divorcing.
"Evan Spiegel, who's this?" someone asked.
Li Du did not know either. He had heard the news from Sophie. Miranda said that he was a very interesting big boy. He did not seem to be very old and was not a celebrity.
Steve, who had been listening quietly, nodded and said, "Evan Spiegel. I know who he is. He's a genius from Stanford University. He made Snapchat, and one of my father's investment companies financed him. He will become a billionaire."
Li Du was surprised. "You know him? Is it really that powerful? "
Steve said, "He is indeed very good. He also has two partners who are very good. The investment company is very optimistic about his project."
Li Du smiled and said, "Definitely. Otherwise, it wouldn't have alarmed a young master like you."
Steve shook his head and said, "The reason why I noticed his project is that the company is going through a second round of financing recently. They are going to invest tens of millions of dollars in it, so I noticed it."
"Invest tens of millions of dollars in whose company?" a mine owner asked curiously. "Man, you are?"
"Is everyone starting a bragging competition? Tens of millions of dollars. My God, I've never seen ten million dollars in my life. "
"Hey, handsome, how about investing some money in my mine? Damn it, if I don't dig out any gems, my mine will have to be auctioned off. "
Wright, Ulysses, and others gathered together and looked on coldly. Li Du's popularity made them very unhappy.
"We have to teach this bastard a lesson," said Ulysses.
Hubert touched his bruised forehead and said, "Of course, it's best to leave a deep impression on him. Does he think that he has become a hero of Lightning Ridge just because he saved that bastard Marcus once?"
Someone slowly walked up behind them and said, "You don't like him, do you?"
The group did not like Li Du very much, but they were talking in secret and did not want to publicize the news.
Hearing this, the group turned their heads in unison, and then Wright laughed. "Ha, Blanchett, why are you here?"
It was Blanchett who appeared behind them. In just ten days, Blanchett had become a lot thinner, and his face was very ugly, with a sickly yellowish-white color.
He stared at Wright and the others and said, "You want to deal with this China kid, don't you? He's very annoying, and now you hate him, don't you? "
Wright shrugged and said, "Maybe. We really don't like him, but we don't have to deal with him. Of course, we know that you absolutely don't feel good about him."
Blanchett's feelings for Li Du were more than just bad. He simply wanted to kill him.
He said, "There's no need to be secretive here. We might as well be straightforward. This kid has some tricks up his sleeve. If we want to deal with him, we have to be careful."
"What do you mean?" asked Ulysses.
Blanchett said with a gloomy face, "You know that he got a lot of gems some time ago. That incident caused a sensation in the town."
Ulysses said, "Yes, but where did Harry Winston get those ores from? We all know that he cheated you with those ores. "
"Ha ha, even an old liar like you can be cheated?" Schubert said, gloating. "To be honest, your experience is not worthy of sympathy."
"Yes, you're different from us. You took the initiative to provoke the China guy, and we were provoked by the China guy."
Ignoring the taunts in their words, Blanchett said, "No, he didn't get them from some group. He dug them out. I found a new tunnel in mine 115 that leads to 114 …"
"You dug it, didn't you?" one of the mine owners interrupted him.
Blanchett stared at him fiercely and said, "Davis, don't talk nonsense. You don't know anything. You don't know how evil this kid is. He may really have a unique way of determining the location of gems!"
"That's a joke," Davis said. "No, he has such a skill.
Blanchett said, "No, he has this kind of ability. His ore must have been dug out from tunnel 115. I have a hunch that this is definitely the case!"
After buying back the number 115 mine, he re-examined the mine and found the buried new tunnel.
After digging up the backfilled gravel in the tunnel with miners, he found traces of gem mining.
So he guessed that Li Du's gems had really been dug out in Lightning Ridge, and that he had dug out his 114 vein!
