Li Mu sent a total of 65 mercenaries to India, Rockefeller sent more than 90 gunmen, and three chemists from Rockefeller's laboratory.
Treasure hunting is a dangerous process, especially in a magical place like India. Although the mercenaries and gunmen did not clash with the locals throughout the treasure hunt, casualties were still inevitable.
Shortly after arriving in India, some of the gunmen sent by Rockefeller were infected with malaria due to improper drinking water. This disease was dangerous in the nineteenth century. Although there were cinchona creams provided by Steed Labs, three gunmen died unfortunately. This gave all The mercenaries and the gunmen sounded the alarm. From then on until they left India, the mercenaries and the gunmen never consumed any food in India. All the food was purchased from Ceylon and sent to Tela by sea. Vanke.
Trouble is a bit more troublesome, but it is also good. Ceylon is rich in various gems. Mercenaries and gunmen take turns to Ceylon. Everyone has harvested. Various rubies, sapphires, and opals are made.
In the process of opening the secret room, there were also accidents. Paul Stewart's "accidents" did not happen only once, but many times, the walls collapsed, the river poured water, belched gas, and the ubiquitous cobra, etc. Fortunately, because the mercenaries and gunmen were not on the front line, there were no casualties, but the hired local workers killed more than 40 people in the process of opening the back room. If it is placed in the 21st century, it will probably cause a stir. But in the nineteenth century, those who died in Dalit were silent, and in India, Dalit was not counted.
In addition to the four widely known castes in India, there is also a "fifth caste". This caste is Dalit, known as the "inaccessible" class, and also known as the "pariah". In India, Dalit is equivalent to slaves. There is no social rights and no personal protection. Dalit is not even accepted by Indian society. Even the British colonial government counts the population.
Li Mu and Rockefeller are fairly fair, giving all the victims almost $ 500 in pensions. This has made Dalit's families thank Dade. In India, even if a high caste intentionally kills a Dalit , Gao caste people will not bear any responsibility, let alone compensation.
For their own people, Li Mu and Rockefeller are of course much more generous. After the successful completion of the mission, the mercenaries and gunmen each received a reward of 10,000 US dollars, the chemist's reward was more, and all the rewards will be converted into gold for payment. Both mercenaries, gunmen and chemists are satisfied.
Li Mu and Rockefeller are more satisfied.
For ordinary people, 20,000 US dollars is already a lot of money. At this year's gold price, one kilogram of gold was more than 700 US dollars, and 10,000 US dollars can be converted to nearly 15 kilograms of gold.
Well, it's less than 15 kilograms, but Li Mu and Rockefeller pay no more than 15 kilograms of gold for each person. In fact, it is just 6 gold chains. There are many such gold chains. Paul Stewart Bring back more than two thousand roots and reward half of them. Li Mu and Rockefeller didn't feel bad at all. How much is gold worth, and jewelry and those gold art pieces are worth.
After counting the income, everyone was very happy. Li Mu and Rockefeller made the final share of the loot. George Dewey left early after receiving a small bag of colored gems presented by Li Mu and Rockefeller, so that his heart could not stand the stimulus.
Rockefeller and Li Mu also felt a bit unbearable in the face of the various stones piled on the table. The gems of India's high religious status can be conceived by the temple. The quality can be imagined, not only to be large, but also to have excellent purity. Colorlessness must be pure and flawless, and coloration must be gorgeous to the extreme, not only the favorite diamonds and rubies and sapphires in the West, but also the traditional jade and various jade in the East.
Rockefeller was very generous and offered to give Li Mu all the jade and jade, and Li Mu was rare and generous. He left all the diamonds, red and sapphires to Rockefeller, and both felt that they had taken advantage.
In fact, it is difficult to say who has the greater advantage. At this stage, diamonds and ruby sapphires, which have been accepted by civilized society, are more valuable, but in the future, jade and jade will be more valuable. In terms of quantity, jade and jade will be more, but in In the eyes of westerners, neither jadeite nor jade is a gem, nor can it be sold at a price, so Rockefeller felt that his cheapness was too large.
Li Mu feels that he is also very profitable. It does n’t matter that white people do n’t like jadeite and jade. The new generation of Chinese Americans in the United States will soon enter the society. Without surprise, they will be the main part of the middle class in the future. These people will be the consumer of jadeite. And the main force of jade.
In fact, since Gloria was wearing jewelry made of emerald and followed Li Mu to attend several banquets, some people have begun to pay attention to this colorful and moist gem. The trend of this stuff needs a leader. If Queen Mother Cixi I don't like jadeite, and jadeite can't make it in the Qing Empire.
Gloria's status in the United States must not be compared with Cixi's status in the Qing Empire, but the national conditions of the United States and the Qing Empire are also different. At the time, Julia Gui, the wife of Ulysses Grant, was the first lady of the United States. Will be slandered by newspapers, and Julia ’s taste for dressing is a recognized disaster in high society in the United States. Compared with Gloria, a stylish and independent woman, it is easier to lead the trend in the United States.
Gloria is indeed fashionable and independent. Even without the aura of the Li Mu and Barron families, Gloria is also a representative of women in the new era in the United States.
Just as Li Mu and Rockefeller were enjoying the booty, a group of women finally wandered enough to think of the two poor men at home.
The two "poor men" were unaware of each other and turned a blind eye to the women. Each of them had a magnifying glass, holding the gemstones next to each other and admired the lights. The four eyes were all red, and they did not know whether they were stimulated by wealth or lights. .
Women also feel stimulated. Legend has it that women, like dragons, like shiny things, and Gloria and Laura are no exception. Even Chu Xue saw the mountains of gems piled up on the table. Can't help exclaiming, his eyes are astonishingly bright.
"So beautiful, what are you two doing? This is-gem?" Laura was still quite old and hesitated. After all, he still thought that if it was a pile of glass, Li Mu and Rockefeller would probably not be allowed to trust them. The boss is so focused.
Gloria had lost her language ability and ran to the side of Li Mu, holding her skirt corner, to see the emerald and jade in front of Li Mu, and the colored gems in front of Rockefeller. It was a bit difficult to choose.
"Haha, Lily, don't hesitate to take it. If you like it, in return, Ini, you can go to your Uncle Rim and pick your favorite emerald. Aren't you always envious of Aunt Lili's emerald necklace? Now is the opportunity. "Rockefeller urged his daughter Elizabeth, and Laura was probably embarrassed to ask for it, and Elizabeth should not worry.
Of course, there is no need to worry about it. Rockefeller is quite the younger Will's godfather, but Li Mu has not agreed, but Gloria has become Elizabeth's godmother. According to Chinese customs, Li Mu and Rockefeller are now in-laws. Is it polite?
"Come ini, let me help you choose, what color do you like? Green or red? Green represents life, red represents enthusiasm, yellow represents sunlight, and this blue, God, is so beautiful!" Gloria Taking the initiative to pull Elizabeth to pick, picking and picking could not help but make a gesture to herself.
Gloria has a set of superb red jadeite ornaments "Volcano", and early snow has a set of green jadeite ornaments called "Snowflakes", which are not inferior to "Volcanoes". Both sets of jewelry are made by famous artists. This is common in New York. I know, since Elizabeth saw Gloria wearing a "volcano" once, she began to cherish the emerald. Gloria also wanted to give Elizabeth a set of emerald jewellery, but unfortunately there was no suitable raw material. Now, With this harvest, coupled with Li Mu's previous collection, it is definitely no problem to put together a set.
"Lily, if you can't find the right one, make a colorful set. I think of the name, and it's called" Rainbow "." Li Mu made an idea next to her, and Gloria was so excited, but heard When the name "Rainbow" fell, the corners of his eyes immediately fell.
The name "Rainbow" is really too beautiful. Listening to the name will tell you how dazzlingly colorful, such a good idea, so easily sent by Li Mu, for a moment, Gloria Still feeling a little careful.
This doesn't mean that Gloria doesn't like Elizabeth and has nothing to do with her feelings. She just can't restrain her desire to possess. All women are the same, even everyone is the same. The noble man is able to control his desire.
"It's all set, make 'Rainbow' for my Ini, Rim, this is your deposit." Before Li Mu had time to remedy, Rockefeller clapped and threw a pigeon egg for Li Mu.
It is really thrown. Although the diamond with a large pigeon egg is only a rough stone, it still cannot hide the pink luster. The diamond processed by this diamond must be the best, no less than the value of "volcano" and "snowflake". Li Mu hadn't responded yet, and Gloria caught it in a hurry. Although she knew it wouldn't break even if she fell to the ground, but this is a diamond.
"God, you two are even more naive than Eni." Laura looked disgusted and scrabbled in front of Rockefeller, and the largest rough stones disappeared.
Well, everyone has the same performance in possessiveness, and no one is more noble than others.
Some people still perform well. For example, Chu Xue, Chu Xue just sighed, and then he was busy changing the jacket of Xiaomiao and changing the diaper of Xiao Weil. These jobs should have been done by maids, but in general, Chu Xue didn't fake his hands. Chu Xue insisted that his children must bring their own.
In comparison, Gloria is even more heartless and heartless. Little Will has been a nanny since he was a child, and has not even eaten much breast milk. For Gloria, Little Will is like Big toy, only when thinking of it, Gloria will hold the small Will to contact feelings.
This does not mean that Gloria is indifferent and does not like children. It is just different growth environments and different education methods. Gloria and Chu Xue have the same love for their children, but Chu Xue behaves more. With enthusiasm, Gloria is more rational.
"Hey Rimm, why don't you take out your 1700 carat diamond?" Rockefeller finally remembered, and couldn't wait to pick something up.
"Where?" Gloria was pleasantly surprised.
"1700 carats?" Laura was surprised.
Chu Xue turned a deaf ear and was trying to fool a ruby in Xiao Mian's hand.
It ’s not a lie, just a little cotton-padded jacket passed by Rockefeller just now. Rockefeller just handed it to the cotton-padded jacket. It was still a very large pigeon bloodstone, comparable to Gloria ’s “volcanic” pendant. .
Chu Xue remembered that Li Mu once said that almost all gems are radiated, so it is best for children not to touch the gems. Chu Xue also has a lot of jewelry himself, but never played with the cotton jacket. The child of this age, almost saw The first reaction to something is to taste the taste first, so it is dangerous for Chu Xue to dare to let the cotton-padded jacket play with rubies.
"It's just a rough stone. It hasn't been processed yet. We'll talk about it after processing." Li Mu used the word tricks to get Gloria out of the way, and then said it later.
Gloria was so smart that she immediately knew what Li Mu meant, but Gloria didn't say much. She looked at Bai Li Mu with a flirtatious look and continued to help Elizabeth choose the jadeite.
Well, the more Gloria was like this, the more Li Mu's heart became more and more, and she glared at the gloating Rockefeller. Li Mu considered whether to find a place.
Forget it, for Laura and Little Elizabeth's sake.
"We have walked many places in Manila in the past two days. It is really sad. The living environment of many children is worrying. Because there is no school, they have no opportunity to receive education. Many parents are indifferent to their children. The children do not have enough clothes. There is not enough food, so Lily and I want to be a charitable foundation. What do you think? "Laura was still very caring and raised a question that neither Li Mu nor Rockefeller had ever cared about.
In fact, charity is needed at any time, not to mention Luzon ’s children, and even many American children are in urgent need of help. Li Mu ’s help is limited to Chinese descent. Li Mu ’s children of other races ca n’t help it. Li Mu himself does n’t want to establish a pure Charity foundation, that should be a new phase that will start after Li Mu retires.
