After a firm handshake between the two of them, Li Du brought Cole to the hotel.

Knowing the purpose of Cole's trip, Li Du got straight to the point. When they reached the hotel, Li Du nodded at Godzilla for him to open up a large container, which he brought everywhere he went, and reveal the pile of sparkling gemstones inside.

”This is a blessing from God!” Cole opened both his arms and exclaimed.

Li Du said, ”The number of gemstones here is still too little. I didn't expect you to come personally. If I had known, I would have thought of a way to harvest more gemstones.”

Cole grabbed his hand and said, ”No no, the gemstones here are sufficient. Also, of course, I will come over personally. My good friend, you are a superstar in our company!”

As Li Du owned close to ten percent of Harry Winston's shares, he was considered a large shareholder and was truly worthy of having Cole visit him personally.

”Appraise them. So long as the price offered is not too far off, the company can have all of them,” Li Du said generously.

Cole had brought along two black opal appraisal experts. Personal matters were personal matters, and business was business. This was the principle that American businessmen had. As such, even if the gemstones were traded within the company, Cole still had to take the transaction seriously.

While the experts were appraising the gemstones and setting their prices, Li Du and Cole went to another room to chit-chat.

Cole said, ”I was a little late this time around. Truth be told, when I received Mrs. Li's call, I was ready to come over.”

”Mrs. Li?” Li Du laughed. Although Sophie, who was serving both of them coffee, also laughed, she calmly accepted the title.

Cole replied, ”Yeah, isn't Sophie your wife?”

Li Du nodded. ”Yes yes, she's my future wife. Since she will definitely become my wife, that title is very fitting.”

While handing the coffee to him, Sophie whispered, ”We aren't engaged.”

Li Du whispered back, ”Anytime!”

Li Du's words were considered a promise. Sophie did not say anything else and only pursed her lips and chuckled.

Seeing the slight interactions between the two of them, Cole purposefully pointed towards the outside of the door, gave an understanding look, and asked, ”Do you guys need me to go outside?”

Li Du smiled. ”No, of course not. Continue your story.”

Cole said, ”Originally, I would have arrived a few days earlier. However, there were some urgent matters in the company. It so happens that the company is preparing to set up an autumn luxury products showcase at the end of May.”

Li Du responded, ”You arrival was prompt. Anyway, the company is setting up a showcase in Australia?”

Just like how top auction houses organized large auctions in the spring and autumn, luxury goods companies would also organize jewelry showcases in the spring and autumn.

Cole replied, ”Yes, an autumn luxury goods showcase this year. It will be organized by our company. For the past few days, I have been busy inviting various luxury goods companies to participate.”

Needless to say, the luxury goods showcase this time around would feature the line of fire opal jewelry.

In addition, having obtained another batch of black opals, Cole was making preparations to add in another segment for the showcase. The black opals would also be made into jewelry sets to be sold.

After being informed of Cole's plans, Li Du nodded and said, ”If these gemstones are not enough, I can continue searching for more in Lightning Ridge. I will definitely be able to provide quite a number of black opals to the company.”

Cole was elated. ”Are you confident you'll be able to find more?”
