Cao Fan added, "Brother Li, if you really are intending to head over to the Congo for a vacation, it would be best to contact Old Wang . He still has some power in the Congo . "
Wang Zhongshi smiled . "Yeah, even though it doesn't compare to the power Er Gou has in San Francisco and throughout California, the power I have in the Congo is still substantial . "
"The power that Er Gou's family has is not only limited to California . It extends to the entire west coast," someone commented .
Cao Fan waved his hand and said, "Ha, people will misunderstand and think that I'm currently some sort of gang member . The Cao family has long been law-abiding, and I am currently earning my income through a legitimate job . "
Li Du very quickly understood that Cao Fan's background was not an ordinary one, and that the Cao family most likely had a lot of power in America .
After revolving around Cao Fan, the topic of the conversation finally returned to Africa .
Everyone was interested in the lifestyle and jobs in Africa . Even though Africa, which had a large landmass, was poor, it was filled with opportunities . If one was brave enough to give it a shot and was able to survive, they would definitely be able to make it big .
Since Wang Zhongshi was an expert in this aspect, he gave everyone an explanation .
Besides working in the Congo, Wang Zhongshi also worked in Zambia . As both the Congo and Zambia were located on a stretch of copper-rich land, they frequently clashed over issues regarding copper .
"Similar to the copper-rich land, there are also diamond-rich lands that span across both countries . Despite that, both countries have different situations . Even though Zambia contains more diamonds than the Congo, they are located relatively deeper underground .
"In the Congo, quite a number of diamonds are out in the open and can be mined by the public . Furthermore, the number of diamonds in the Congo is very high . At times, one is able to harvest several diamonds just from a single river . "
After hearing Wang Zhongshi's explanation, a young woman with hair reaching to her shoulders and exquisite makeup asked in a feminine manner, "Brother Wang, what do you mean by mined by the public?"
Wang Zhongshi conveniently placed his arms around her and smirked . "Give me a kiss, give me a kiss, and I will tell you . "
The woman gave him a shove and said in a half-declining, half-accepting manner, "How annoying . I don't want to . You are embarrassing me . "
The people around shouted simultaneously, "Quickly, kiss him so we can continue listening to his story . "
"It's just a kiss . Old Wang has a lot of treasures in his possession . Are you not interested in his treasures?" someone joked .
After a round of shouting and laughter, the woman gave Wang Zhongshi a kiss .
Wang Zhongshi laughed loudly and said, "Public mining is a unique policy created by the government of Congo to solve the Congo's unemployment problem .
"The locals are able to apply for a manual mining license . So long as they are able to afford the small application fee and a shovel, they can go to mines to search for diamonds and dig for copper . "
The woman, who was still at Wang Zhongshi's side, asked, "In that case, we are also able to do that?"
Wang Zhongshi looked sideways at her and replied, "Yes . However, you have to be able to ensure that you can survive . For such a beautiful girl like you, consider me wrong if you are able to survive in the Congo for more than 24 hours with no one protecting you . "
"It's that scary?"
Wang Zhongshi sighed . "Didn't Boss Song say so earlier? Even though he is a tough fella and a mine owner as well, he was easily robbed . "
"Have you seen something like that?" Li Du asked .
Wang Zhongshi nodded . "Yes, there was a huge incident in the past . A woman, a very naive Caucasian woman from a rich family, went to the Congo to take pictures for National Geographic magazine . In the end, after leaving her room at night, she never returned . Guess what became of her after she was found?"
"She was dead?"
Wang Zhongshi shook his head . "Not an ordinary death . Every orifice in her body had been violated, and she suffered lacerations all over her body . "
A few women, who had terrified looks on their delicate faces, gasped in shock .
Wang Zhongshi said, "I'm not going to scare you guys anymore . Let's continue talking about public mining . There are quite a number of families in the Congo relying on it to survive . After selling us the ore, they would go to a supermarket to purchase food . "
It was not possible for the Chinese in the Congo to form an alliance . Wang Zhongshi explained that besides the Chinese, people from other countries had also spotted the opportunity to get rich in Africa .
Take the Congo for example . In the past, its mining industry was dominated by the Indians and Lebanese people . After the Chinese came over, they took over the industry with their guns and fists .
However, once they managed to take over the industry, making money became a lot easier . Wang Zhongshi's current net worth was not low . From their conversation, Li Du suspected that Wang Zhongshi's net worth was billions of US dollars .
Before coming to Sydney, Li Du felt rich . However, it was only after arriving in Sydney that he realized he was narrow minded . With so many rich people in the world, there was still a long way for him to go .
The purpose for Cao Fan bringing him over this time was to get familiar with him and for him to meet more people .
Everyone was drinking, chit-chatting, and laughing together . Even though they did not understand much about one another, they at least knew one another and could introduce each other to money-making opportunities .
After staying at the restaurant until the wee hours, they began to leave .
Since most of the beautiful women at the gathering were brought there by the men, they left with the men after the gathering ended . As for what they were going to do after, everyone was well aware .
Some of the women were brought there by other women for the purpose of meeting these rich people . Everyone was also well aware of why they wanted to meet these rich people .
As Li Du was refined and courteous, had good looks, a strong physique, and a high net worth, he was the first choice of all of the women, which was clear from how they treated him .
Li Du was considered the man of the hour . Everyone treated him in a very friendly manner and kept a low profile when in front of him .
This made him curious . When it came to net worth, his was probably only more than a billion but less than two billion . In the eyes of ordinary people, he was considered a magnate . However, he was insignificant in the eyes of these people .
Despite that, everyone treated him in a unique manner, as if they were certain that he was some extremely powerful person, or that he represented some wealthy organization .
Li Du guessed that it could be Cao Fan's attitude towards him that caused such speculation from others . As everyone else was sharp, they probably realized that Cao Fan respected Li Du the most and as a result, wrongly estimated his net worth .
Towards the end of the gathering, there were quite a number of women following Li Du and asking him questions regarding black opals .
Those women were most likely overseas students studying in Australia . As they would usually visit various parts of Australia during the holidays, some of them had been to Lightning Ridge before . With a high EQ and rich experiences, they were extraordinarily great at chit-chatting . They very much enjoyed chit-chatting with Li Du .
Li Du originally thought that those women were high-class call girls . After chit-chatting with them, he realized that this was not the case, and that those women were opportunists seeking opportunities from rich people like him .
When the people at the gathering began to leave, a few women dropped hints to Li Du that they were interested in him .
Despite that, Li Du knew that what they were interested in were his money and resources . Reasons such as, "You are very interesting,""You know so much," and, "You live such a fulfilling life," were all nonsense . Why did no beautiful women say those words to him when he was an overseas student in the past?
As such, even after those women expressed their interest in developing a relationship with him, Li Du did not respond to them . After quietly leaving the gathering, he got into a car and headed back to the hotel .
Seeing that Li Du was interested, Wang Zhongshi said, If you are interested in going to South Africa, you can contact me . I can bring you around the Congo and Zambia . Cao Fan added, Brother Li, if you really are intending to head over to the Congo for a vacation, it would be best to contact Old Wang . He still has some power in the Congo . Wang Zhongshi smiled . Yeah, even though it doesnt compare to the power Er Gou has in San Francisco and throughout California, the power I have in the Congo is still substantial .
