Chapter 1363 Chapter 1363 – Big Boss (2/2)

”Boss Li, heard that you went to the Arctic? Your schedule is really packed.”

”Hurry, pour Boss Li a glass, pal. This is such a pleasant surprise!”

”Is this Big Li? Ah, hello, I'm from Flagstaff, nice to meet you! You're my idol. You're the role model of all the treasure hunters from Flagstaff!”

Li Du nodded, smiled, hi-fived and fist-bumped people. He felt like a celebrity. The atmosphere had heated up exponentially as he arrived.

That was one of the reasons why he would rather attend auctions than to go to South Africa to mine diamonds. Humans had a need for socializing and being validated.

In the trade of warehouse auctions, Li Du was king. He was well respected and admired by the treasure hunters. There would be none of that if he were to go to South Africa to look for diamonds. In addition, he would have to endure the harsh climate and dangers. How could that compare to what he enjoyed here?

Once people were rich enough, the attraction of money would start to dwindle. Li Du was a crazy money hoarder. He felt that he already had enough financial assets.

First, he was the second-biggest shareholder of Harry Winston Inc. His shares were worth more than one billion. Each month, dividends of tens of millions would come in.

Secondly, soon he would be able to develop the opal mines at Lightning Ridge, Australia. That would be an additional income of tens of millions of dollars.

Besides, the mammoth and narwhals burial sites were his as well. That would add on to his wealth. In addition, there was also the Amengda mine that was just about to start production, and the opals ready to be mined on Seagull Island.

On top of that, there were the things he had with him, including the sunset-fire opal, the high-quality diamonds he had hidden in the Black Hole, along with some valuable collectibles like jewels and army knives, etc.

After doing a rough estimate, Li Du realized his net worth had already reached more than ten billion dollars!

Under such circumstances, why would he need to suffer in order to make more money? He wanted to get richer, of course – in an enjoyable manner. Out of all the options, the warehouse auctions were a pretty decent way to do so.

In that industry, other than being able to bask in admiration, he could also enjoy inspiring fear in his enemies.

Seeing him, Princeps looked frightened.

Li Du had gone to Siberia for a few months. The whole world knew that he had left, but not that he had returned. That was because Li Du kept a low profile since his return and did not put himself out there.

Princeps had not expected that Li Du would join in this auction. After spotting Li Du, he stood up and took his underlings out after exchanging a look with them.

Li Du snapped his fingers and Godzilla and Big Quinn moved to the door, blocking the way.

Princeps gave a fake laugh and said, ”Li, long time no see. How have you been?”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Li Du said, ”Thank you, Princeps, I'm still doing okay. How about you? Have you been well? Did those men from New York give you trouble?”

Princeps looked bitter as he replied, ”They have heard your name and did not give me a hard time. Boss Li, I have some urgent matters and need to leave now. You guys can keep drinking. I will pay for all the drinks tonight.”

The hotel was not a real bar and the hotel's counter only served beer. Such low-quality beer was cheap and Princeps was happy to pretend to be generous.

Seeing that Princeps knew his place, Li Du did not want to make things difficult for him. Bullying the weak was not his style.

Li Du snapped his fingers again and said, ”Buddies, aren't you guys going to thank Boss Princeps? He's treating us to the drinks. All the drinks we are going to have for these two days in Tucson will be placed on Big Boss Princeps' tab.”

The smile on Princeps' face became strained. All I wanted to do was to treat my buddies to one round of beer. Who talked about the next two days?

The treasure hunters cheered loudly: ”Thank you, Big Boss Princeps!””That's fabulous, fill up my glass, I'm going all out today!””Is there tequila? Some from Mexico? Alright, give me one shot!”

Li Du patted Princeps' shoulder in a friendly manner and said, ”Bye, Big Boss Princeps. See you tomorrow at the auction!”
