The boss's explanation was thought up at the last minute. While Li Du was walking over to the store, he saw another tool leasing store next door.
Consequently, he said, ”I'm not interested in this set. If you guys don't have anything better, I will have to go over to the adjacent store and take a look.”
The boss started laughing. Two miners, who were repairing an electric drill, also started laughing.
”What's the matter?” Li Du asked while frowning.
In a relaxed manner, the boss replied, ”If you do go over there, mate, you will realize that there isn't even broken metal waiting for you there. There's only air. That rental store had already shut down.”
Li Du released the little bug and flew it quickly to the adjacent store. Earlier, he did not notice anything and only saw a sign hanging on the entrance of the store's workshop.
This time around, the little bug flew into the store and took a look inside. Indeed, there was no one there.
Despite that, there was something inside the warehouse, a helicopter that had a beautiful design with a pale blue and white body.
When Li Du saw the helicopter, he subconsciously thought that there was someone inside it. However, after a brief search by the little bug, not a single person was found. The inside of the store only had a helicopter in it.
The boss, who was wearing a pair of sunglasses, explained, ”The neighboring store went out of business a long time ago. All of his machines are here with me. Truth be told, even the workshop and warehouse are not his anymore. He sold those to the owner of the mine at the back.”
A miner added, ”An old man's mine. From what I know, the mine seems to have been closed, and the government is planning to auction it off. It has already been a very long time since there was someone managing the mine and paying taxes for it.”
The boss said, ”Yeah. I know what happened. That boss is an idiot. When his company in Sydney encountered financial problems, he took the company's money and ran.”
Just like that, both parties started chit-chatting about the mine. Having seemingly gotten Li Du in his grasp, the boss no longer cared about him.
Seeing this, Li Du smiled and told Lu Guan, ”Let's leave and go take a look at other rental stores. We will gather the tools ourselves.”
Li Du and his group turned around and walked away. Seeing that Li Du and his group were really going to leave, the boss finally became anxious and walked over to them to stop them. ”Mate, do you guys have a problem with this set of tools? What do you not like about it?”
Li Du replied, ”Replace the balls in the ball mill with new ones. Also, replace the rock hand drill machine's power supply with a new one. Replace the belt on the conveyor system as well. With those changes, I can, reluctantly, be interested in the set.”
Now the boss finally understood the situation. Instead of trying to cheat him, Li Du was truly knowledgeable about this industry.
The boss responded grudgingly, ”Seems like I did something silly. I have misjudged you. You are an expert.”
Although some time was wasted, Li Du ultimately managed to obtain the tools that he wanted. Even though the tools that the boss took out afterward did not have a nice appearance, they were extremely sturdy and durable, which was exactly what mining required.
Li Du handed over the money. As the boss had a truck, he would deliver the tools.
With Li Du and his group's off-road vehicle leading the way, they drove to the mine that Blanchett had introduced to Li Du yesterday.
Having reached the mine's entrance, Li Du felt that something was amiss. Why are there people working in this mine?
When they drove their cars to the mine, a tall, burly miner walked out and asked, ”Hey, mates, what are you guys doing?”
Li Du got out and replied, ”This is my mine. I should be the one asking that question. What are you guys doing here?”
The miner started laughing. In a relaxed manner, he said, ”This is a pretty interesting joke. However, I don't have time to joke with you guys. This is not your mine, unless you are saying that to cause trouble.”
