The group of gem hunters suddenly got excited after hearing Li Du's words.
”Hey mate, are you making fun of us? Is this really that funny?”
”Are you serious? Are you really willing to take over?”
”Ten thousand dollars—no, 5,000 dollars. I will sell it for 5,000 dollars.”
Li Du smiled. ”As long as you guys accept my trading terms and give me a bank account number, you guys will know if I am making fun of you guys or not.”
Old Deckard stared at him with cloudy eyes. With a look of anticipation, he told Li Du his bank account number.
Li Du operated the online banking from his phone for awhile and said, ”Wait 30 seconds.”
Soon, Old Deckard's phone gave off a notification sound. He proceeded to open the notification while all the gem hunters surrounded him.
After looking at the screen, Old Deckard blankly stared up at the crowd, ”Twenty . . . Twenty thousand dollars. He really gifted me 20,000 dollars.”
”It's not a gift, it's a trade.” Li Du beamed. ”Your piece of land is mine for the next two days.”
Old Deckard's lips trembled twice. He embraced Li Du and tears started streaming down his face. ”Oh, God. Oh. Thank you, friend! F*ck me—no, I'm very thankful to you! Thank you!”
The others became excited. One after another, they began shouting in a disorderly manner.
”Me! Me too!”
”I also want to sell to you!”
”I'm sorry for calling you a 'Chinaman' earlier. Please forgive my stupidity.”
No one was willing to turn away money.
Seeing the crowd go from feeling hopeless to being revitalized, Sophie smiled. ”So this is what God's messenger looks like.”
Brendan and Alicia were stunned. ”What God's messenger? Is Li Du nuts? Seven people—that's 140,000 dollars!”
Besides Li Du, there were seven others who were scammed. With 20,000 dollars given to each one of them, it added up to 140,000 dollars, which was a huge sum of money!
However, Li Du was not bothered by it as he still had around 2,500,000 dollars left after deducting the bonus he gave Godzilla and Big Quinn from the previous two days profit of around 2,600,000 dollars.
Also, after trading with the others, he would obtain the land in their possession. The piece of land Stevenson and Christopher rented had a total area of two square miles. One square mile of the land had already been completely searched by Li Du, while the other square mile he hadn't searched yet. So, it would definitely contain a lot of opals.
The piece of land would earn Li Du at least 140,000 dollars—maybe even another 2,600,000 dollars.
Of course, he could have just spent 1,000 dollars to rent the same piece of land. However, he could not bear seeing the miserable looks of Old Deckard and the others when they had been scammed.
Furthermore, he had just joined this profession and needed to make a favorable impression. As Americans were very exclusive, his days in this profession would not be easy if he did not make a favorable impression on people.
He had just been in the profession for two days, but Brendan and the others were already eyeing him. How many more people would be eyeing him if he stayed in the profession?
Since a young age, Li Du had understood the power of the masses. He did not wish to go against the gem hunters and wanted to gain their support, just like how he had started out in Flagstaff's storage unit auction society.
