Chapter 1016 Achieve (2/2)
Lion-Hunter looked at him and said, ”50 million US dollars is too low, Li. I know who you
work with. In other places, these diamonds might only be worth ten million. But at Harry
Winston, even if they are just melee diamonds, the price can be a few times higher!”
Li Du said patiently, ”That's right, but General, there are other considerations as well.
Harry Winston specializes in luxury goods. The market for melee diamonds is very
small. If we bring in a lot of melee jewelry, our clients would look down on us and that
would cause the value of our merchandise to fall.”
Nodding his head, Lion-Hunter said, ”Harry Winston typically procures high-quality
diamonds.”
Remonin showed his displeasure, saying, ”My brother, you seem to be siding with my
opponent.”
Looking aggrieved, Lion-Hunter said, ”How can that be? I'm telling the truth with
absolute fairness and objectivity. Besides, how is Li your opponent? We are all friends,
planning to get rich together!”
Li Du nodded, ”Yes, we will all get rich. But if I can't make a profit, why would I do
business with you?”
Lion-Hunter was biased in favor of Li Du. He hardly had any choice. He was the cause
of the hardships Li Du had suffered thus far, and so he had to fight for Li Du's
understanding and friendship.
Hence, he sacrificed Remonin's benefits for his own interests.
Five million US dollars was still a huge amount of money. A tribal leader like Remonin
had never seen cash amounting to that sum in his entire life.
He began to hesitate. Then Li Du patted the table and said, ”Okay, I will add another
million. However, it is not for the diamonds, it is a donation to your army. I hope that
your troops can develop and improve further.”
The gift of another million cheered Remonin up. ”Oh? Just like that?”
Li Du nodded, ”Yes. Good made me realize the terror of evil warlords. I hope that you
make use of your strength to protect and help more people.”
Remonin patted his chest and said, ”Rest assured, Li, I am the chief of Golden Grass
Tribe. I am not a crazy killer like Good. Besides, I am keen to become a top-ranked
official in the country. I will treat people in my territory well!”
”Don't eat the pygmies' tintin anymore,” Li Du said mockingly.
Remonin laughed, ”I was never going to.. I wanted to let you eat it. That thing has a foul
taste, and no one in their right mind would enjoy it.”
Hearing that, Li Du felt his back begin to break out in cold sweat. This guy must have
eaten it before, otherwise, he would not have known that.
However, he could not judge the locals with his own standards. Remonin did not kill
innocents for no reason or torture people mercilessly. He was already considered an
outstanding tribal leader.
He gave Sophie a call and after a short while, the funds were transferred successfully.
Remonin checked his international bank account on his computer. There were six
million US dollars added.
Li Du managed to sneak a look at the screen, and saw that the first digit was still 6. It
meant that the funds in Remonin's bank account still amounted to less than seven
million US dollars.
That made him sympathize with Remonin. What kind of warlord was he? It was too
embarrassing. To know that he just gave Remonin six million US dollars and his
account still had less than seven million!
This meant that before Li Du made the payment, Remonin himself did not even have a
million. It was no wonder that when someone cheated him of that small amount, he got
so mad.
Happy to have received the funds, Remonin smoothly struck up a business
arrangement with Li Du. Remonin would continue to mine for diamonds and Li Du would
come to collect them once a season.
After that, Li Du gave him another million as a deposit for the next batch of diamonds.
