Without Hans' help, Li Du could not have found the gem vein here.
Although, as he said, mining was difficult, there was a prerequisite: without the help of the little bug, he could only mine blindly.
With the help of the little bug, he could determine the direction of the vein and make an excavation plan that was accurate to the location of the gem, which was relatively easy.
In this case, Hans had made a great contribution. Just because he was the one who found the vein, Li Du gave him 10% of the shares.
Li Du was loyal enough to do this because Hans did not have to contribute anything but one piece of information. He did not have to bear any risk and could get a 10% dividend, which was a sure win for him.
This also earned Hans' gratitude, because he did not know that Li Du had the little bug to locate him and thought that Li Du could only mine the ore blindly to find the gem.
Hans was embarrassed to hear this and said, "No, man, I don't need so much dividend. In fact, I don't need anything. When I first found the gem, I didn't have this plan."
Li Du said, "Business is business. You don't have to stand on ceremony. You deserve it."
Hans wanted to refuse, but he turned and left.
According to Li Du's conservative estimate, this mineral vein could bring him an income of one billion dollars. Hans would be grateful to him in the future. It was just that luck had favored him, allowing him to find a gem and earn him a dividend of hundreds of millions in the future.
After making this decision, he had to do it.
Li Du was unfamiliar with Australia and needed someone to help him.
Steve was still in Sydney and should be able to help him, because he remembered that when they first met at the salon, Steve had said that he had bought an island.
He called Steve and asked him how he was doing these days.
Steve had recovered well and was preparing to leave Australia to return to the United States. He asked Li Du, "When are you going back? Remember to go to Boston. I'll introduce some friends to you. "
With this promise, Li Du would definitely go to Boston. Although he was not particularly clear about Steve's net worth, connections, and background, at least he knew that the other party was a big shot.
In this way, Steve's friends were certainly not inferior. If he stayed in the United States, there would be many places where he could use them.
So Li Du said happily, "No problem, I will go to Boston first when I return to the United States. Also, buddy, I need your help with something this time. "
"What is it?"
"I want to buy an island, but I don't know how to do it, nor do I know who to ask for help. In the end, I thought of you, and I want to ask for your opinion."
As soon as he said that, Steve laughed and said, "Haha, Li, did you investigate me?"
Li Du was confused and asked, "Why do you say that?"
Steve said, "I bought an island when I came to Australia for a vacation. I'm very familiar with the process. You've found the right person."
Li Du was embarrassed. This guy had forgotten that he had told him about this at the salon.
He could only feign ignorance and ask, "You bought an island? What island? "
Steve said happily, "Turtle Island. The island I bought is called Turtle Island. It has an area of 9.41 hectares. It's an island of pure plants, and it's very close to the port city of Gladstone."
In Australia, most of the islands that were sold were only leases, not life rights.
However, Turtle Island was sold for life rights, which meant that the island completely belonged to Steve. All the resources found on the island belonged to him, and he could pass them on to his children and grandchildren.
Therefore, although the area was less than 10 hectares, the price of Turtle Island was not low. The life rights were sold for 5.7 million Australian dollars.
Steve told him that there was a large house of 600 square meters on the island. Through the room, people could enjoy the other islands around Turtle Island to the east, and even the Great Barrier Reef.
"It's quite expensive," Li Du said hesitantly.
Steve asked, "What's the situation of the island you want to buy?"
Li Du said, "It's an unnamed island, located on the border between the Bass Strait and the Tasman Sea, east of Cape Barren Island. It's very large, about 200 square kilometers!"
Steve whistled. "Wow, cool. Two hundred square kilometers? That's a big place. "
One square kilometer was 100 hectares, and the area of Seagull Island was more than 2,000 times that of Turtle Island!
"What do you think the price of such an island is?" Li Du asked tentatively.
Steve laughed and said, "No, Li, I can't give you an estimate. If you are sure that the island has not been named, it is a deserted island. Maybe the Australian government has not given it an estimate, so if you want to buy it, it will be a complicated process."
Li Du said, "First of all, the price. If it's expensive, forget it."
His money was mainly used to buy shares in the Harry Winston group, which could not be cashed in. He now had just over $20 million.
Steve said, "The island you are interested in is different from Turtle Island. Turtle Island used to be an old resort with some resources, which are very expensive."
For example, his villa on the island was luxurious, with a large kitchen and entertainment room, including a bar and a music room.
In addition to the main house, there were separate guest rooms, lounges, bathrooms, and balconies. There was also a built-in swimming pool, a private dock, and even an airport runway outside the house.
After a conversation on the phone, Steve invited him to meet him in Sydney. There were some things that needed to be discussed in person, and if Li Du decided to buy Seagull Island, he would introduce some agents who could help.
Everything was convenient with the helicopter, but the trip was not easy. Because of the distance, they had to fly to Melbourne, then Canberra, and then Sydney.
However, the helicopter was fast and traveled in a straight line, so the journey was greatly shortened. It took less than five hours to fly there.
This time, almost all of Li Du's party came to Sydney. It was also the time that Brother Wolf had made an appointment with the doctor. Ivana needed to be prepared for surgery.
Steve was recuperating in a private nursing home, which was very upscale and had a helipad. After Big Ivan contacted the aviation authority, they landed there.
Li Du sighed. "We have to buy a private plane in the future. The helicopter is still too slow."
"When are you going to buy it? Remember to take me to the aircraft manufacturing company. I want to broaden my horizons. "
Li Du glanced at him and said, "A private plane is so expensive. Do you think I can afford it?"
Hans nodded vigorously. "Of course you can. You can even afford an island!"
