“Drink! One more, one more!”

“This crayfish is really fat. Godzilla, get another dish for me and another drink.”

“Fill your glass and drink to the harvest.”

Li Du raised his glass. “Cheers! Cheers!”

He sucked the oil from the crayfish. It was delicious. The crayfish was spicy, hot, and fragrant.

The crayfish, which had grown up in the pollution-free wild, had an elastic, sweet taste, unlike anything he had ever eaten.

The spicy taste, coupled with the crayfish’s own sweetness, also pleased Godzilla, who said, “There is such great food for free? I will catch crayfish every day!”

When Li Du wanted to talk, Blanchett handed over his glass again and took him to the side. He faced Li Du and said, “Yes, I did not expect that crayfish could be cooked so well. It is very tasty. Thank you, Li.”

Bang! Their glasses collided with a crisp sound as they toasted, and then the two drank another round.

Li Du was becoming drunk. He did not even peel the shell off the crayfish before stuffing it into his mouth.

Sophie could not bear the smell of alcohol and cigarettes, so after eating, she left with four little animals.

Godzilla and Brother Wolf went on working in the mine after their meal.

Seeing that no one was around, Blanchett persuaded Li Du to drink again.

By this time, Li Du was fully drunk. His face was red, and his eyes were dim.

Now that the vodka was in front of him, Blanchett did not need to persuade him to drink it, and he killed it in one fell swoop.

Sensing the moment was right, Blanchett said, “Hey, man, hey, Li, my good buddy, we’re buddies, right?”

Li Du said vaguely, “Yes, good fellow, cheers, cheers!”

Blanchett poured him a glass of wine. Without another word, Li Du drank it in one gulp. Blanchett was happy to see this.

He coughed and said, “Well, mate, the value of the mine that I sold you was not so much. I mean, not half a million dollars, and you lost the deal.”

Li Du did not speak. His hands were shaking so much, he couldn’t peel the crayfish.

“How about this? I’ll give you the money back. How about you sell the mine back to me, and I will get you a better mine?”

Upon hearing this, Li Du finally had a reaction. With a wine burp he said, “This is very good, man. This is okay. I like this.”

Blanchett coaxed him. “No, the mine isn’t really worth much. You don’t need to spend more than $500,000 on it, do you?”

Li Du said unclearly, “More than half, a half million? No, no, no, this mine, this one, 1,000,000!”

He raised his forefinger and shook it twice. “A million, 10,000,000!” he repeated.

Blanchett laughed grudgingly. “How about you sell this mine? I give you the money, and you transfer it to me. It was my mine in the first place, wasn’t it?”

These past few days he had mingled with Li Du, watching the number 115 mine produce more and more black opal. He was getting crazy with jealousy! His ultimate goal was to take back the mine. He had been waiting for a chance to do so.

He had been looking at mine 115 recently, and had determined that there must be a lot of gems in it, probably a rich vein of gemstones.

Why, he wondered, had he not discovered this vein long ago? He had been working in that mine for years and had found nothing.

However, the appearance of black opal was solid. He saw Li Du go down empty-handed and come up with a piece of ore. He also saw Godzilla and Brother Wolf bring out gems several times.

Finally, Li Du had gotten drunk, and finally, Blanchett had gotten his chance.

Blanchett coaxed and persuaded, and the drunken Li Du finally wavered. “Sell? You, you want this mine? Was not this mine yours?”

“Yes, yes, it was mine, and now I want it back. I’ll give you back 500,000. Will you sell it?” Blanchett asked urgently.

Drool flowed down from Li Du’s mouth, and he shook his finger, “Five-fifty, 50, 50, not 1,000,000! This mine, 1,000,000! I want 1,000,000!”

Blanchett swore quietly, and with a cautious disposition, he began to guess that the b*stard was really drunk… and he still knew how to bargain?!

He looked at Li Du carefully and thought that he worried too much. He knew how much alcohol Li Du had consumed. This guy was even considered good at drinking, but he was totally drunk now.

Blanchett was cautious, but he was also greedy.

At last, however, he did gave into the temptation of greed. He gritted his teeth and said, “Okay, 1,000,000, I’ll buy it for 1,000,000.”

Li Du frowned, and his eyes glazed as they looked at the crayfish in the pot.

Seeing this, Blanchett was worried. He said, “Let’s go. I’ll take you to do the trade and bring you back to the mine because we’re good buddies. We help each other, right?”

He was a bit tongue-tied with urgency.

“Good buddy, good buddy, well, 1,000,000, well, the mine will be yours,” murmured Li Du. “But why do I feel something is wrong?”

Blanchett pulled him up. “What’s wrong? Come on, have you got your papers? Where are the mine’s land ownership certificate and mining permit?”

Li Du pointed to the driveway reluctantly. “Well, in the car.”

“Okay, okay, let’s go,” Blanchett said.

As they drove to town, he had his lawyer waiting for them in advance, and to avoid trouble, he also contacted a lawyer for Li Du.

Seeing that he was drunk, Li Du’s lawyer shook his head and told him that he did not want to take the business. He raised his fee, and the lawyer reluctantly accepted it.

In the presence of the two lawyers, Li Du and Blanchett signed the resale contract, followed by a series of taxes and transfer fees.

Like the last time the mine changed hands, Li Du was not involved. Blanchett did all the procedures.

He wanted to take advantage of Li Du being drunk and bargain down the price, but Li Du insisted on 1,000,000. He gradually began to sober up and started to regret the resale.

Seeing this, Blanchett worried that if this attempt failed, he would lose his only chance, so he accepted the price.

He was more concerned about the underground gem vein. At present, the underground vein was valued at 10,000,000!

After a busy day, the deal was completed while Li Du was still recovering from his drunkenness.
