With the roaring of the plane, Li Du flew straight from Flagstaff to Las Vegas .
In America, air travel was indeed the best mode of transport as it was fast, cheap, safe, and convenient . Li Du did not drive there this time around .
The only inconvenience was when passing the airport security . After the security guard saw, through the X-ray machine, the large number of gemstones inside the two boxes, he had an astonished look on his face and a look in his eyes that showed he was ready to start trouble, which made Li Du anxious .
When he walked out of the Las Vegas airport terminal, the driver arranged by Harry Winston had already arrived . Director Roger Golden had come over personally in a Rolls-Royce limousine .
He drove directly into the airport and picked Li Du up from inside . As the magnificent, luxurious Rolls-Royce sparkled with a crystal-clear brilliance, it attracted the gaze of a large number of passengers .
From this, Li Du saw the power that Harry Winston possessed; even when dying, it was still greater than most .
This was, after all, one of the top jewelry companies in the world . If not for the bad investment, it would have been difficult to buy its shares .
Despite that, Li Du's appearance was more eye-catching than the limousine as he had three bodyguards: Godzilla, Big Quinn, and Brother Wolf with him .
If Hans hadn't been busy selling balance springs found in watches, Li Du would also bring him along .
Both Godzilla and Big Quinn were tall and huge . Even though Brother Wolf, who was at least six feet tall, already looked very huge in front of ordinary people, he looked like a shriveled youngster when compared to the both of them .
Of course, the person in charge of security was still Brother Wolf .
All three of them were dressed like bodyguards with their black suits, white shirts, black ties, huge sunglasses, and professional demeanors .
Naturally, the person walking in front of them was the boss . Li Du wore a blue jacket and walked with swagger, making him look like a powerful person in charge .
With that, the four of them were very eye-catching, as expected . After Roger saw them, he extended his hand from afar . "Li, welcome to Las Vegas . "
Godzilla and Big Quinn opened the trunk of the limousine and placed the two boxes inside .
Seeing the boxes, Roger's eyes lit up . He tentatively asked, "These are?"
Li Du smiled . "All fire opals . "
Roger inhaled a breath of cold air and, trying to keep his volume low, excitedly said, "The company can organize a large-scale special conference on opal jewelry!"
This type of special conferences for jewelry were important launch events for luxury goods companies . They would invite celebrities from all over the world and famous magnates to the launch events . From these events, the celebrities and magnates could earn money as well as increase their popularity .
While starting the limousine, Roger asked Li Du if he wanted to rest a while . Li Du shook his head and told him that he was not tired . It was only about a one-hour flight from Flagstaff to Las Vegas .
With that, the limousine drove to the Harry Winston location and both parties went straight to the point .
Before opening the boxes in the office, Li Du asked Roger, "Hey, I brought a lot of fire opals this time around . Is the company able to take them?"
The excitement on Roger's face was hard to hide . "No problem—we definitely can! I have already informed the headquarters of your situation . President Cole was very interested and convened a meeting with the board of directors . Everyone agreed on the strategy to procure high-quality fire opals!"
However, Li Du was unhappy after hearing his words and sighed, "The company is indeed in a precarious situation . "
A batch of fire opals alone was able to rouse the whole board of directors, which would have been unthinkable before Harry Winston's bad investment in the diamond mine .
They would take fire opals this seriously as the company had no other solutions and currently needed to grab onto any opportunity to make a profit .
Seeing himself expose the company's secret in a moment of excitement, Roger suddenly felt a little embarrassed .
Li Du casually changed the subject and said, "The number of opals this time is even greater . Be prepared . "
"I am already prepared . " Roger was still unable to control his excitement .
Although a batch of fire opals and a one-time special conference on fire opal would not be able to revive Harry Winston, it would change the current situation of the company .
The gemstones that Li Du brought were like ginseng for critically ill patients . They were magic drugs that could keep the company breathing . Only when the company was able to breathe, would there be plans later on to restore the company .
Seeing him excited, Li Du smiled . "I am not asking you to be mentally prepared, but to be financially prepared . "
"
After Li Du nodded at Godzilla and Big Quinn, both of them opened the boxes without any expression . Orange-red gemstones that filled the boxes appeared in front of them .
Through the room's large floor-to-ceiling windows, the bright sunlight shined into the room and onto the gemstones . All of a sudden, the rays of light were reflected and illuminated the room . A glaring halo appeared!
Roger was dumbfounded . He whimpered, "Oh, God!"
Previously, Li Du had brought over 58 gemstones . This time around, he'd brought over 600 pieces!
In the time span of 20 days, Li Du had harvested more than 700 gemstones . There were a lot of defective gemstones among them . These gemstones, which were small, lackluster, or too cloudy, had been taken out by him .
The remaining gemstones were practically all decent-quality .
The way that Li Du selected gemstones was different from ordinary people . As the speed at which Li Du searched for gemstones was very fast while using the little bug, it was likely the little bug would overlook gemstones that were lackluster .
The little bug did have its own selection process during the hunt for gemstones, so the quality of the gemstones was never terrible .
The quality of gemstones inside the box Godzilla held was exceptionally good .
Among which, the largest piece of gemstone was the size of a baby's fist . Without a doubt, this piece of gemstone was priceless!
Li Du spoke while gesturing with his hands . "Do you understand what I mean? I need the company's account to have enough cash . "
Hearing his words, Roger recovered from the shock .
Roger was a man who had seen much of the world . As the director of the Southwestern Region, which was one of the six regions that Harry Winston divided America into, he had seen countless pieces of jewelry, gemstones, and luxury items .
If these gemstones were diamonds, Roger would not be as shocked even though the price would be much higher . This was because it was possible for a diamond mine to produce tens of thousands of carats worth of diamonds in one batch, which he had seen before .
However, opals were rarer than diamonds while fire opals, which were only produced in northern Mexico and the American southwest, were even rarer . It was a huge shock for him to see so many fire opals at once .
Roger took a deep breath and said, "I need to give President Cole a call . I think he would really like to meet you . "
Li Du nodded . "Great, I would like to meet him too . "
He needed to meet the leader of the company he had invested in . Previously, he was not qualified to do so as his shares had been too little . Now, he was not only a shareholder, he was also a big customer and was qualified enough to meet the president of the company .
Harry Winston was a family business that had been started by Harry Winston himself and was subsequently taken over by his eldest son, Ronald H . Winston, in the 1970s .
Five years ago, as Ronald Winston had no choice but to step down due to health issues, he'd handed over the company to his eldest son, Cole Winston .
The person Li Du wanted to meet was Cole Winston .
With the roaring of the plane, Li Du flew straight from Flagstaff to Las Vegas . In America, air travel was indeed the best mode of transport as it was fast, cheap, safe, and convenient .
