After reading some information, Li Du said to Sophie, "You don't have to be busy looking for a job."
Sophie guessed, "President Cole introduced me to a job? No, Li, you know me … "
"No, I found you a job," Li Du said with a smile.
After a pause, he bowed gracefully and held out his hand. "Hello, Dr. Sophie Martin. I sincerely invite you to join my treasure hunting team and become one of its medical staff."
Sophie reacted immediately. She smiled and shook his hand, then asked, "Are you going to look for gems again? Or back to Australia? "
Li Du stood up and shook his head. "It's hard to say this time. It could be Africa, Russia, Canada, or the Arctic."
These places were in the rich belt of global diamond mines. So far, more than 90% of the 1.75 billion carats of diamonds produced in the world were produced in these places.
He called Hans and said, "I guess it won't be long before I have to go abroad again."
Hans grinned. "You can join the treasure hunter Mount President. You are a representative, and you have successfully expanded your business abroad."
Li Du sighed. "Don't joke, I'm serious. I might go to Russia or Africa."
Hans was stunned and said, "Really? Russia or Africa? I suggest you go to Russia this season, not Africa. Otherwise, when you come back, you will become an African black brother! "
After thinking for a few seconds, he asked again, "What do you think, going to Africa or Russia at this time? I don't think going to Russia is a good idea. Damn it, it's too dangerous there. I heard they are going to war with Ukraine. "
"There are many reasons," Li Du said. "Anyway, I have to go out."
His decision to look for diamond mines was indeed a combination of reasons, not just because of his rivalry with Carlston.
The first reason was that he wanted to make the best use of it. The little bug's ability was very suitable for finding gem mines, as evidenced by the discovery of the opal mine.
If he could find a diamond mine, he would have more money than he could spend in several lifetimes.
Secondly, he was in urgent need of money now. The plan to buy Seagull Island in Australia was in full swing. Because of the large area of Seagull Island, it was estimated that it would cost tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars to buy it.
Li Du did not have that much money, and he would not be able to earn that much from storage auctions. However, if he could find a diamond mine and start producing diamonds, he would be able to earn that much money.
Moreover, by selling these diamonds to Tang Chaoyang, he could also do Cao Fan and Tang Chaoyang a favor.
There was also Sophie. She was upset about not being able to find a job, and the only thing he could do to help was to offer her a job.
If he went to work in the field, Sophie would be willing to go with him. Then everything would be justified. He could offer Sophie a job as a team medic.
The most important thing was the agreement between him and Carlston. If he found a diamond mine and acquired Carlston's shares, he would become the second largest shareholder of the Winston group.
It was after much consideration that he made this decision.
However, this decision was still a little hasty. Finding diamonds was definitely not as simple as finding opals. Fortunately, there were still four months left this year.
He didn't tell them the reason. He just said that he was going to look for some diamonds with someone.
Hans said, "Looking for diamonds? You don't have to go to Africa. There are many diamond mines in the United States, such as the Crater of Diamonds State Park in Arkansas. "
Li Du smiled bitterly. He knew about the Crater of Diamonds State Park. Like the Opal National Park in northern Arizona, they both produced gemstones.
However, even if there was a diamond mine there, it was impossible to contract it. However, Hans' words reminded him that perhaps he could go to the park to have a look, just as a warm-up.
Located in southwestern Arkansas, the Crater of Diamonds State Park was known as the only diamond mine park in the world where visitors could dig and play at will. Visitors could enter for an eight-dollar entrance fee and dig at will. Any gemstones found were owned by the visitors.
After leaving New York, Li Du took Sophie, Brother Wolf, and the others to Arkansas.
In the vast map of the United States, Arkansas was an important part of it, but it was not well known, even though it had given birth to political and military celebrities such as MacArthur and Bill Clinton, as well as the famous Grisham and the famous actor Bill Bob Thornton.
The state was located between the Midwest and the Deep South of the United States, and also between New York and Arizona.
Compared to the surrounding states, Arkansas was less well-known and was called a little-known treasure by the locals.
It was the Shangri-La of nature lovers, with the Ozark Mountains and the Washita Mountains. The mountains were steep and the rivers were clear and swift, maintaining a beautiful natural scenery.
Li Du and the others landed in Little Rock, where the state capital was located. They then hired a car and drove southwest. An hour's walk would bring them to the national park.
There were many well-maintained state parks in Arkansas, and as they looked out from the car, they saw open roads crisscrossing each other and patches of thick jungle appearing all around them.
Between the jungles, they could see some flat pastures, horses, cattle, sheep, shepherd dogs, and shepherds from time to time. Such a scene was extremely novel to Li Du, who had just left New York.
New York was a modern city of electricity and steel, while here was a beautiful countryside.
The pace of local life was very slow. When the driver drove, he sometimes saw some stalls on the side of the road and would stop to choose some goods.
These were unmanned stalls on the side of the road. Agricultural products such as honey, dried beef and mutton, chicken and duck eggs, fruits and vegetables were placed on the shelves. Next to the shelves, there was a metal box similar to a donation box. Just put the money in it.
This kind of shopping experience was novel to Li Du. He asked, "Is it safe to do this?"
The driver smiled and said, "Of course, everyone follows the rules of rural shopping. The price is written on it. You take the things and leave the money. It's good for both sides, right?"
Li Du nodded. It was true.
The driver continued, "If you don't follow the rules, don't be afraid." He pointed to the trees next to the shelves. "There are cameras here. If you go too far, the police will contact you."
Li Du laughed. That's right. How could the security in the United States be so good?
Seeing that Li Du and the others were empty-handed, the black driver introduced them, "This place is very famous for cheese and lamb. Don't you want to bring some? There is no good place to eat next to the diamond mine park. "
Li Du did not want to bother, but he was very interested in this kind of shopping experience, so he went down to choose some food. Anyway, there was still plenty of space in the trunk.
So they walked and bought, and when they arrived at their destination, the trunk was full.
