"What are you still doing here?"
After getting the money and paying the wages, Songchai yelled at all the workers: "When you get the money, you will work!"
While it's still dark, hurry up and start working for an extra hour or two!
” The money was sent and the voice was louder.
For the sake of money, the workers went down to the river again and began to pick up piles of sand and gravel from sieves and put them in the water to sift through them.
Diamonds are hidden in these countless gravels, and it takes eye and touch to find these precious little stones.
Somchai moved a table and sat down by the river, and began to count the remaining dollars.
Just now William's $3,000 rent was paid off, $3,000 was paid to these workers, plus the two bodyguards owed a total of $1,200 in wages, and more than half of the $12,000 was used up at once, which made him feel a little painful.
What made him even more disturbing was what William had just said, that the rebels and government forces in Kosan had clashed again, and I was afraid that the peaceful days would be gone again.
If you hit here, I'm afraid I'll have to run away again, and the money invested in is really a meat bun and a dog and there's no turning back.
A few black children walked up to Somchai and stood there without walking away, just looking at Somchai like that.
"Go, go, go—get away!"
Songchai was very upset and didn't have a good attitude towards these children.
A few of the children turned and walked a few steps, as if they were still reluctant to leave, and turned back again.
These children are from the nearby Momul tribe, not child laborers hired by Somchai, but some of these children's relatives work for Somchai here, so they also come here to play.
Somchai always felt that these children were suspicious, and they couldn't steal the sifted diamonds when they weren't paying attention, so they usually chased away when they saw them.
"Bruce!
What do you eat!
For God's sake, can you get rid of this little one!
He danced at Bruce, who was standing on the pile of sand and gravel by the river, "I just paid you a salary, for the sake of dollars, can you do your duty as a bodyguard!"
” Lubus jumped off the pile of sand and walked over to a few little kids, chasing them like ducks.
A few little kids grunted at Bruce, speaking in Momule, and even Somchai was confused.
Bruce listened to the little kid and stood there no longer chasing people.
Somchai screamed again: "Shit!
Bruce!
Where are you still standing and what are you doing?
What to say to the little kids, them away!
Let him go home!
” Rubus turned to Somchai and said, "Boss, they said they had diamonds to sell to you." ” "What!?"
Souchai thought he had misheard, "Where did the little kid get the diamonds?"
Did you steal it from here!?
” This made Bruce very unhappy, and he said with a calm face: "Boss, it breaks my heart when you say that, you must know that I am very dutiful to stay here for you every day, even if you owe me wages......"
"Enough is enough!"
Somchai stood up, he didn't want to listen to Bruce's nagging anymore, knowing that black nagging is the most annoying race in the world.
Walking up to the kids, Somchai looked down and asked the kids, "Do you have diamonds?"
Don't lie to me with crystals as diamonds, I'm not a big fool!
” Rubus translated his words to the little boys, and one of the older ones pulled out the hand that had been hidden in his trouser pocket, reached out to Somchai and spread it out.
Something sparkled in the palm of his hand, an intoxicating pink.
There are three stones in the palm of the little kid's hand, which appear to be slightly transparent and tinge pink.
Pink Diamonds!?
Somchai immediately jumped like he had stepped on the accelerator, and he carefully picked one up from the little boy's palm, took out a magnifying glass from his pocket, and began to study it carefully at the setting sun.
That's right!
It turned out to be a pink diamond rough!
And it seems that the purity of this stone is really good, not the kind of garbage drill rough that has not yet reached a high grade.
The worst thing is that this is a pink diamond, a very rare type of diamond, almost 10 of all mined diamonds are this kind of pink diamond, which can be sold for a good price at a diamond buyer in Bocheng Town.

He secretly estimated that among the three stones, the largest is estimated to be 10 carats, and the smallest is 4-5 carats, even if polishing will waste some of it, only 50 of the weight can be retained, and it can be sold at a very good price!
"Ahem—" He coughed twice, quietly calmed himself down, and then picked up a look of disgust and put the stone back in the palm of the little feat.
"A diamond is a diamond, but it's not very pure."
In fact, at this moment, Somchai has already set off a huge wave in his heart, he has been squatting here for nearly half a year, it is the first time to see such a high-quality diamond, and more importantly, the place where the little kid gets the pink diamond is very important, very, very important!
One must have two, which means that there may be high-quality reserves in the places where pink diamonds appear, and as long as you find them, you can make a fortune!
"Look!
A diamond should be clear and transparent enough to be a good diamond, and you have a little color, which is not the best. ” Rubus translated to a few of the little boys, who couldn't figure out the quality and grade of the diamonds, and when they heard Song guess that the diamonds were worthless, their eyes suddenly darkened and they looked disappointed.
"But!"
Somchai said to Bruce: "These three are indeed diamonds, and they may be sold for more than two hundred dollars if they go to Bo City, so I will treat them as good people, give them one hundred and fifty dollars, and if you ask them if they are willing to sell them to me, I will take it as a good deed." ” Song Chai pretended to be a loving and benevolent person, and sighed: "It's not easy for children here......
Bruce himself couldn't figure out whether what he said was true or false, so he translated it from the script.
A few little kids chattered and discussed, and finally the big one apparently made up his mind and stuck out two fingers.
"They said, two hundred dollars," Bruce said. ” "Two hundred dollars!?"
Song Chai pretended to be surprised, but in fact, his heart had already blossomed, and he seemed to be very embarrassed for a moment, and then said: "Okay, I will take it as a good deed, but I have one condition, they will tell me where to pick up these stones and where they are." ” Bruce asked, and the little kid grunted as he pointed to the upper reaches of the creek.
"They said they picked it up while catching fish on a river beach 500 meters upstream."
Bruce said.
Somchai almost wanted to slap himself twice immediately, you know, he has been tossing and turning here for half a year, before he started digging a little downstream, and then he dug all the way up, but he didn't dig 500 meters to the place that the little kid said.
It turns out that wealth is just a stone's throw away!
Pulling out two hundred dollars and sending a few little boys, Somchai took three rough stones, like three hot potatoes in his arms, and asked Bruce to tell the workers not to dig here, but to dig five hundred meters upstream.
"Boss, everyone's about to get off work, it's getting dark."
"You tell them to work overtime tonight to dig there, and I will give them $10 per person for overtime pay, and they will be rewarded for digging diamonds!
It's the same for you, I'll calculate the overtime pay for you, I'll stay at the camp for dinner, you call someone to go to the woods to hunt a wild sheep and come back, you drive my car to Bo City to buy some wine and come back, I'll invite everyone to drink tonight!"
” There must be brave men under the heavy reward, and besides, blacks are especially fond of drinking, and when they heard that there was wine, they hurried to arrange everything.
Somchai hurriedly ran back to the temporary container house.
"Cousin!
We're rich!
”
