Chapter 10: Sky-high prices
"You disgusting black pig! What the hell are you doing to hide from us? Why are more than 3,000 rebels coming to you now? The polar bear had a thick Russian accent in his mouth, and his fingers opened the safety and shoved the muzzle of the gun into Kebby's mouth: "If you don't tell us the truth today, be careful that I will make you speechless in the future!" ”
Kebby felt like he had hit an iron plate, and he almost fainted, but the Venus in front of him was rising, and the powerful desert eagle was in his mouth, which made him even more distracted, and he couldn't speak.
Morris was scared, but Kebby was his employer, and if his employer burped, his pay would be wasted.
"Whoa...... I said...... "Morris didn't intend to provoke these evil stars, he took two steps forward cautiously, his English was not very good, and when he was nervous, he said even more vaguely: "How many bosses are ...... Don't be impulsive just yet......"
Before he could finish speaking, the reticle lightning drew his pistol and pressed it against Maurice's temple.
Morris felt a chill in his head, and his heart was almost frightened, so he raised his hands in surrender as quickly as he could: "Don't ...... Don't get excited, have something to say. He pointed at Kebby: "With a gun to his mouth like this, he can't speak." ”
Long Yun patted the polar bear and said, "Put away the gun and let Kebby talk." ”
The polar bear pulled the desert eagle out of Kebby's thick lips, rubbed it on Kebby's clothes in disgust, let go of his hand, and threatened, "You have to be honest and clear, otherwise I won't be interested in listening to your explanation later." ”
He cocked up his finger and warned the fat man Kebby: "You only have one chance." ”
Kebby slumped beside the tree, coughing loudly, his mouth full of gunpowder from the muzzle of the Desert Eagle, and the polar bear's massive wrist strength nearly crushed his Adam's apple.
"Ahem, ahem...... Okay, okay, I said I said ......"
After coughing for a while, Kebby got up from the ground, patted his fat buttocks, rolled his eyes a few times, and stopped talking.
Lao Yu reminded: "The Chechens are impatient, especially the Chechen guerrillas, what do you have to say quickly, Kebby, otherwise if the polar bear launches a cross, I can't stop it." ”
Looking at the polar bear on the side, Kebby wiped a handful of sweat and said, "Actually, I don't know why the rebels are so interested in me here......"
As soon as he finished speaking, the polar bear turned around again, and the hanging gun thumped and pushed the safety out of the way.
Kebby's face suddenly became more ugly than a dead man, and his hands waved wildly: "I really don't know...... Can you hear me out? ”
Long Yun said, "Okay, you say." ”
"Two months ago, I suddenly received a phone call from Mr. Simpson, the commercial representative of De Beers in Sierra Leone. You know, Mr. Simpson is a well-known man in this business, and 80% of the diamonds in our country are traded through his hands. I was very happy at the time, after all, you all know that although this land in the jungle near Bocheng Town was left by my ancestors, it was a poor mining area after all, and people didn't look down on De Beers at all......
Long Yun didn't have the patience to listen to Kebby's painful family history, waved his hand and said, "I said fat, can you just talk about the point." ”
"Good, good." Kebby nodded like a chicken pecking rice, these are top-level killing embryos, here in the wilderness, if you are grinding, I am afraid that your head will really bloom.
"Mr. Simpson said that there was a big business that took care of me, and I was surprised at the time, I didn't know him at all, and besides, I didn't have any big diamonds here, so why did he want to take care of me? However, he said that one of their company's big customers took a fancy to my mining area, so he left me a phone number and asked me to call it myself. ”
The old fish asked, "Did you really hit it?" ”
Kebby's thick lips grinned, and his eyes gleamed with greed: "Of course I did...... Moreover, I got a very satisfactory price. The other party only asked me to open a deep mine in the position he designated, and the technicians were dispatched by him, without me spending a penny, and only digging, but the excavation situation had to be reported at any time. ”
"Deep Mine?" Long Yun turned his head to look at the old fish with a puzzled expression, both of them knew in their hearts that most of the diamond mines in Sierra Leone were on the surface of the ground, and they were generally not too deep, unlike South Africa, where diamond mines were deep, and only drilling holes were needed for mining there.
Could it be that the mysterious big customer found out what good ore belt was hidden underneath and paid a lot of money to hire Kebby? It's no wonder that Kebby recently enclosed a wooden fence more than three meters high in the woods, put a lot of heavy machinery in the circle, and drilled holes day and night.
Long Yun grinned and said, "So, Boss Kebby, you have made a fortune and dug a good mine?" ”
Kebby made a bitter face and spread his hands and said, "If I can dig up a 'Lion Rock Star', will I still be in the rain here?" I went to Liberty City to drink and watch the dance. That hole was dug for more than 200 meters, and there were no dogs/to be seen, except for dirt and stones, not even a single carat of small diamonds could be seen! It's not as profitable as the shallow mine I opened in the ditch next to me! ”
The "Lion Rock Star" in his mouth is the most famous diamond in Sierra Leonean history, weighing 968 carats, and is a priceless treasure from the Kono mine in Sierra Leone.
The old fish tilted his head and looked at Kebby: "How much money did your big boss give you?" ”
Kebby's expression was embarrassed, and he was reluctant to talk about his own remuneration, but when he saw that the polar bear began to fiddle with the huge Sand Eagle pistol again, and had the intention of shoving it into his mouth again, he was immediately honest.
"I called him and he promised $5 million. I am not responsible for all expenses, including the wages of the workers and the cost of the purchase of machinery, including the payment of $1 million to each of you, and the $4 million to be paid by your universal company. You can think about it, how can I not accept such a fat business? ”
Everyone was stunned at this moment, if according to Kebby, the mysterious customer on the phone paid nearly 20 million dollars to let Kebbi open a hopeless deep mine on his land.
Julia frowned, incredulous and asked, "Kebby, did you receive the advance?" "The Afro Hip Girl wonders if Kebby has run into a liar.
"Do you look like a pig? I didn't receive the money, I would have invited so many people, and then dug a deep hole here more than 200 meters with great fanfare? You think I'm stupid? Kebby felt that Julia was simply insulting his own intelligence, and he seemed a little angry.
Long Yun sneered coldly: "I think you really look like a pig." You don't want to think about it, just with this rotten mine in your hand, others will pay such a big price to dig it? Now more than 3,000 rebels from the Alliance Front are rushing here, do you think they are here to have a bonfire with you? Think about it with your grass-stuffed pig braincase, Kebby! ”
Kebby's expression was petrified. That's right? This ghost has a point, 20 million dollars, how many high-quality mining areas can this buy? Why do you have to come to Bo? Mining here by yourself, how can you find a large army of rebels? Of course, he wouldn't come to a bonfire with him, and Kebby knew that he didn't know Sankoh well enough to know the rebel leader.
He thought about it for a long time before he muttered, "Five million dollars, even if I dig up hell, I'll do it!" ”
The old fish suddenly laughed: "No wonder they will pay us such a big price, I thought about protecting you a garbage mine, and I need to spend so much money to ask us to protect you, I originally thought that there was an African star hidden in this piece of land left to you by your ancestors, but now it seems that you can't produce high-end goods here at all." Do you even know what they're asking you to dig? ”
Kebby spread his hands and said in a pure manner: "I am a very professional mine owner, very professional ethics, I should never ask, people pay a lot of money, I will take the money to do things, you are the same, mercenaries must have mercenary rules, money is in your pocket, it is your duty to protect me and this mine, you can't ......"
He took a deep breath, mustered up the courage to glance at the polar bear, his tone became a little reasonable, and protested: "You can't keep intimidating your employer with a gun!" ”
This succeeded in igniting the fury of the polar bear, who walked towards the fat boss and tried to knock him into the trunk of the tree.
Long Yun stretched out his hand to stop the polar bear and said, "Kebby, take us to see the mine in your woods." ”
Kebby was embarrassed: "The employer has explained, and I can't let the idlers get close to the mine......"
"Fuck off, uncle!" Long Yun casually kicked Kebby's fat buttocks, kicked him staggered, and scolded: "In this case, we have a reason to break the contract, and the three thousand rebel soldiers will let you deal with it yourself." Maybe you sell your fat ass and your black chrysanthemum to Sankoh, and maybe he'll spare you a dog's life. ”
With that, he glanced at his teammates, and the big guys turned around together, obviously leaving.
Kebby was anxious this time, rushed to Long Yun with an arrow step, and opened his hands to block the way: "Ghost, you have to have a work ethic!" You're gone, who protects me? ”
The old fish teased: "Don't you still have a mysterious rich employer?" Find him, as long as he can afford the money, let the company send another 1,000 or hundreds of special forces over, and it is estimated that he can block it. ”
Seeing that Kebby couldn't stop it, he was anxious, and said continuously: "Okay, okay, I'm afraid you can't do it?" But I had to ask my employer and report on the current situation, and he agreed, I have absolutely no problem, whatever you think, to be honest, digging and digging is a deep pit, nothing to see. ”
As he spoke, he took out his satellite phone and held it in his hand and pressed the number wildly.
Before the call could be dialed, there was a loud bang in the woods, and the ground shook slightly, and a thick cloud of black smoke rose from the trees.
Kebby was startled, his feet were weak, he sat down on the ground, and said nervously: "What's wrong!?" What's wrong!? Are the rebels coming!? ”
