Chapter 1151 Partnership (2/2)

This was something Li Du would not be able to buy no matter how much money he had.

Remonin's people had a fighting spirit, discipline, and loyalty.

There was a club in the process of construction in Remonin's camp. It was meant as a

place of rest and recreation for officials. However, it was empty now and its only

furnishings were a couple of pool tables.

After seeing the room, Li Du promised, ”Commander, you can focus on your relationship

with the navy. I will help you furnish your camp. This building is too shabby, how would

it do? You need to have a cinema, massage room, restaurant, bar, gaming consoles!”

Remonin was ecstatic, ”Is that a promise?”

Li Du pounded his chest and said, ”Of course, how can I lie to my brother in arms? Our

friendship has been tested by gunfire!”

Remonin nodded vigorously. ”That's right, cheers to friendship!”

The soldiers brought in fruits and beverages and it was as though the two parties were

having a global leader forum. They sat opposite each other on the sofas and started to

discuss money matters. Remonin first grumbled about his poverty. ”Six million, brother

Li, six million US dollars! I spent close to five million to buy this military region and the

rest to furnish this place. Now I have nothing left, not a cent!”

Li Du sighed, ”Keeping an army is really like burning money.”

While Remonin complained, Li Du played along. They were testing each other's

threshold.

Remonin wanted Li Du to give him ten to twenty million for his developments. He

wanted to build up the entire military region and his army.

Li Du rejected this suggestion instantly and said, ”You will bring out the diamonds first,

the diamonds that had been found since the last time we met.”

Remonin walked back into the office himself and carefully brought out a small box.

There were not many diamonds inside, only about a quarter of the amount of last time.

One diamond was the size of a thumb. It was a valuable diamond. Li Du estimated that

it could fetch a few hundred thousand dollars without any issue. The smaller diamonds

did not have such value.

Li Du said, ”This is not enough. I can sell these for two hundred thousand at most. Even

if I don't take a cut, it's still not enough for you.”

Remonin said, ”Li, we have already tried to speed up the work. However, the diamonds

are rare, and it is not easy to discover them. However, you can give me two million first

for urgent needs.”

Li Du kept the diamonds and said, ”If you need money, I do have a way for you to get

rich.”

Remonin's eyes lit up but he did not show his eagerness. He sipped his coffee and

asked, ”What way? I won't do anything illegal like smuggling. I am now the country's

guardian!”

Country guardian, your foot, Li Du scoffed in his heart.

Li Du took a sip of coffee too, cleared his throat and said, ”You must know that I am a

shareholder of Harry Winston Inc. We bought a mountain in South Africa, but we lack

guards.”

”We need about forty to fifty soldiers dedicated to protecting the mountain. We will

provide food, lodgings and everything they need. Each person will get a monthly salary

of two thousand US dollars.”

Remonin's eyes lit up even brighter. He said, ”Each would earn a monthly salary of two

thousand dollars? In that case, if you employ fifty men, they will earn a total of one

hundred thousand dollars every month?”

Li Du nodded and said, ”Yes, that's right.”

Remonin started to consider this and said, ”Li, take a rest first. I will discuss this with my

people. Consider this taken care of. I will resolve your problems. Leave the security of

your assets to me!”

Li Du knew that Remonin was tempted. He smiled. ”Of course, thanks so much. I will

wait for your news.”
