There was a beautiful little stone in Sophie's bottle. It was a diamond.
However, compared to Uncle Sam, there was a big difference.
Uncle Sam weighed more than 40 carats, and the one in the bottle was not even one carat. If it had not been for the shine of the diamond, he would not have noticed the little stone.
It was too small.
Sophie, however, was very satisfied with it and said, "What do you think? It's not bad, right? Are you surprised? You didn't expect us to find a diamond, did you? "
That was true. Li Du praised him sincerely, "You did a great job. You're really hardworking. You actually found a diamond."
Sophie smiled and said, "In fact, I'm not the only one who worked hard. Brother Wolf, Godzilla, and the children, they did a great job."
Li Du patted the heads of the little ones one by one with satisfaction. Ah Ow did not want to let him touch her. She hated Li Du for teaming up with Ali to teach her a lesson.
However, Ah Ow could not avoid Li Du's hand no matter how hard she tried. Li Du pointed the gun at her head and scratched her chin.
There was soft skin on her chin. Being scratched by Li Du, Ah Ow felt very comfortable. For a moment, she forgot to fight with Li Du and closed her eyes to enjoy it.
The two diamonds, big and small, were their harvest in the park. That was all they had in five days.
Li Du decided not to waste time and energy here. Obviously, they could make a fortune here, but it was impossible to get an income comparable to a diamond mine.
"Our goal is the Rainbow Nation!" he said in the car.
Godzilla asked hesitantly, "Where are we going? To heaven? "
Li Du wondered, "Why do you think so?"
Godzilla said, "The Rainbow Nation, isn't it in the sky? In the legend of our hometown, heaven is divided into 24 countries, and the fifth country is the land of the rainbow... "
Brother Wolf said calmly, "South Africa."
Godzilla looked at him, and Brother Wolf explained, "The Rainbow Nation is South Africa."
Godzilla, who had always been fearless, exclaimed, "God, that's not going to heaven. Going to South Africa in this season is like going to hell."
It was August, and the weather was hot. Going to Africa at this time of the year was torturous, but it was better than going to Russia. There was almost a war in Russia, and it was better than risking his life.
Many people's first impression of South Africa was that it was a primitive world full of black people and animals. In fact, South Africa was a semi-developed country that had been colonized by the Netherlands and England. It was a multi-ethnic country with white people, black people, mixed-race people, and Asians.
The nickname "Rainbow Nation" was derived from the complexity of its ethnic groups. It was a country of great integration of ethnic groups.
In the past, Li Du's unique understanding of South Africa was that it was the only country in the world with three capitals: the administrative capital: Pretoria, the judicial capital: Bloemfontein, and the legislative capital: Cape Town.
In addition, this country had a city of gold, a city of diamonds, and ores were everywhere.
Li Du had agreed to go to Africa to look for a diamond mine. If a mine was found, it would provide a source for the Winston group, so Cole was very supportive.
He provided Li Du with Harry Winston's private jet and helped Li Du with various overseas business. This time was different from the trip to Australia. Li Du only needed to provide the documents and information, and he did not need to care about the rest.
The last time he went to Australia, Li Du had put in a lot of effort to bring the four little ones through customs. This time, going to Africa was very simple.
Of course, this had something to do with Cole's connections. They flew from New York to Johannesburg.
Li Du waited at the airport for Big Ivan, Lu Guan, and Big Quinn. Hans would not go with them this time. He stayed to take care of the family.
After Ivana's plastic surgery, she looked much better than before. With Victoria around, they supported and encouraged each other, becoming more independent and courageous.
Because of the poor conditions in South Africa, Ivana would stay in Phoenix for treatment, accompanied by Victoria. They would not go to South Africa, and Brother Wolf would be liberated.
This time, Brother Wolf would protect Li Du. Without Ivana, he would be able to show off his abilities.
After meeting up, they boarded the private jet and began their trip to Africa.
Because of the aircraft's endurance, they would cross the Atlantic Ocean and land in Algeria first. Then they would fly south and land at an airport in the Congo for resupply before finally landing in Johannesburg.
Cole contacted his friends in South Africa. When the time came, there would be local tycoons to receive them. This time, there would be people to meet them all the way to South Africa.
This was the network of the Harry Winston group. Its business had long reached Africa.
Li Du also had connections in Africa. Because the plane was going to land at an airport in the Congo, he remembered that Wang Zhongshi was in the Congo and contacted him.
He made a phone call. Wang Zhongshi, who was supervising the work in the mine, was overjoyed when he received the call. He smiled and said, "I'll go to the airport to find you. I know where it is."
After the plane took off, Li Du began to learn about South Africa.
After some understanding, he was surprised to find that he and Hans were stupid and had misunderstood the climate of South Africa.
South Africa was in the southern hemisphere, and the climate was completely different from the northern hemisphere where they were.
Most of its territory was in the subtropical high pressure zone and had a savanna climate. Every year, October to February was the summer, and June to August was the winter.
In other words, Li Du and the others were going to South Africa during winter!
The following September was a short spring in South Africa. At the beginning of this season, South Africa would see the heaviest rainfall of the year, dropping from 1,000 millimeters to 60 millimeters from east to west.
Compared with other countries in the southern hemisphere at the same latitude, South Africa's winter temperature was slightly lower, with an average annual temperature between 12 and 23 degrees Celsius.
Along the way, he browsed the information. The plane flew smoothly, and after two landings, they entered the Congo.
In the eyes of the public, Africa was chaotic, and this image was largely due to the Congo.
In 1994, one of the cruelest massacres in human history broke out in the Congo, the Rwandan massacre, which caused the deaths of millions of people.
After the massacre, the war continued, which provoked the situation in all the surrounding countries. A total of nine countries participated in the war, pushing the chaos in Africa to the extreme.
It was for this reason that many Europeans and Americans were reluctant to go to the Congo to work and do business.
In the face of the chaotic situation, the white people, who claimed to be natural adventurers, were afraid. On the contrary, the Chinese, who were considered timid, were not afraid. Now a large number of Chinese were working in Congo, Zambia, and other countries.
Li Du's plane landed at the airport. The flight crew, led by Big Ivan, carried out maintenance and supplies. The others went to rest.
