Chapter 1004 Trus (2/2)

It was not wonder that the small honey badger had not moved at all. It was unaware of what had happened because it had fallen asleep in Brother Wolf's arms.

Seeing this, Good's expression turned dark. The driver lowered his head fearfully, his body trembling in fear.

Li Du placed the small honey badger on his lap, caressed its body and said, ”This thing is pretty cute, it's a little warrior. I like it. It is now my pet.”

Good's darkened face was still for a few minutes before he commanded coolly, ”Return!”

As though he had been granted amnesty, the driver heaved a sigh of immense relief and started the jeep to leave.

Back at the camp, the business discussion was to continue.

However, Good had not achieved what he originally planned. Prior to discussing the pricing, he had wanted to bring Li Du to the woods to scare him. This was so he would be able to set the price as he wished during their negotiations.

Now, not only had he not frightened Li Du, he had given the man a pet.

Back in the office, he opened a can of beer and took two large gulps. Then, he took out a few gorgeous small stones from the drawer of his office table. ”These stones, how is their pricing?”

Li Du had previously searched the office and knew where the diamonds were. They had all been kept in a safe, and inside were all raw, unrefined diamonds.

There was also a box of raw, unrefined diamonds in Good's office drawer. However, there were also some gorgeous stones inside. These stones resembled diamonds but were not diamonds. They were what Good had used previously to scheme the young miner at the mining site.

Good had no methods for processing diamonds. After all, diamonds were extremely hard and required specialized tools and techniques to cut. Good's territory did not have the resources required to do this.

Hence, Li Du glanced at the gorgeous stones and said, ”List your price as you wish, but I will not be able to help you get rid of them. I can only help you to get rid of diamonds, solely diamonds.”

”These are all diamonds,” Good said harshly.

”Whatever you say,” Li Du calmly responded. ”But if I brought them to the market and failed to exchange them for money, then the one who cannot make a profit from them would be you, not me.”

Hearing that, Good's mood suddenly changed for the better. ”Haha, haha, very good. My judgement of your character was not wrong. Mr. Li, you are a rare young man, a partner I am extremely satisfied to be working with!”

Good put away all those stones and brought the small box containing the raw, unrefined diamonds from the drawer.

The diamonds inside were not clear or shiny, but instead a blurry gray. These were raw, unrefined diamonds that had not been carved and did not reflect light.

Li Du observed these diamonds. The largest one was the size of his pinky. Most of them had the size of yellow or green beans and were regular melee diamonds. After a short evaluation, he said, ”After processing these diamonds, one carat will fetch 5,000 to 8,000 USD.”

Determining the price of diamonds was very complex. It was different from valuing gold because the price of diamonds had to be determined by evaluating several factors.

However, it would be useless for him to explain. Good would not listen to him. Therefore, he could only put it simply by giving Good a price that he had derived from averaging the value of the big diamonds and melee diamonds.

Good shook his head and said decisively, ”Ten thousand, they are worth ten thousand US dollars.”

Li Du smiled. ”Good Commander, I have no idea how exactly you see me. Are you treating me like the miner slaves? Selling my life for you? If so, please set the price as you wish, I will do as you say. But if you treat me as a working partner, then please give me some room to make a profit. Ten thousand US dollars—not even an ounce of a chance for me!”

Good stared at him with a strange expression. ”I will treat you as my partner. However, you have to win my trust.”

”How can I win your trust?” Li Du had a bad feeling. What is this old lunatic trying to do again?

Good grinned mysteriously. ”Don't be anxious, I will tell you how to do it.”
