Chapter 1147: Shares Transfer

Hearing Brother Wolf’s words, Li Du had a moment of doubt. “You contradict yourself. I

have sufficient funds and can keep supporting Remonin. But if he suddenly throws me

aside after I’ve been supporting him for some time, you’re saying that my loss will be

greater?”

Brother Wolf said, “That will only happen if Remonin feels that he no longer needs to

work with anyone else and can keep the gains for himself. Otherwise, he cannot do that.

That would be a violation of integrity in the pact between the local authorities and their

overseas partners.”

“Do they care about upholding integrity?”

Having seen Good’s army, he no longer believed that integrity existed among those

local warlords. That madman Good had wanted to slaughter him like a lamb.

Brother Wolf explained, “Boss, they cheat their local partners left, right and center.

However, they do uphold certain principles when dealing with foreign partners. In fact,

they act more honestly than most of the international organizations in Europe.”

“That’s because the armies and governments in Africa lack funds to sustain their power.

Hence, they need support from overseas. They must be honest to get anyone to

sponsor them. Hence, to them, maintaining integrity is very important.”

Li Du was enlightened. So that’s how it is.

He asked, “Then why would Remonin toss me aside after I have sponsored him for a

period of time?”

“If you can be Remonin’s exclusive sponsor, he will be solely accountable to you.

Otherwise… there might be a conflict of interest.”

Li Du nodded to gesture that he understood. This is a tough decision to make.

The car continued its journey towards Phoenix and Li Du kept thinking about the issue

he had to resolve.

If he was unable to provide Remonin with financial support now, both of them could

consider their relationship to be over.

If they fell apart at this point, Li Du would not suffer any great loss. In fact, he had

already earned some money through Remonin without making any investments.

However, if he decided to maintain the relationship, he would have to be cautious. In the

future, he would have to keep providing Remonin with financial aid.

Now that Li Du had money on his hands, a sum of about four billion US dollars,

Remonin had grown greedy. This resulted in his overblown estimate of needing four to

five hundred millions in funds.

From the current looks of it, it seemed to Li Du that he would be able to support

Remonin.

Back at Phoenix, Hans started to clear the items they had gained from the auction. He

also began to seek for notices on other high-value warehouses. That allowed Li Du to

concentrate on thinking about how he could deal with Remonin.

He had not been back in Phoenix long, but he already received several invitations to

parties. Some of them came from treasure hunters in Phoenix, others from the treasure

hunters of Flagstaff. They wanted to thank Li Du for his help by inviting him to their

parties.

At Nogales, Li Du had helped the treasure hunters who were by his side to win bids

successfully. Hence, almost all the treasure hunters had made money and some of

them made quite a lot of it.

Hence, many worshipped him as the God of Wealth and the number of treasure hunters

who wanted to follow Li Du increased exponentially.

The new bodyguard that Hans hired arrived to report for work. Li Du had already noticed

the newcomer, a man of mixed Chinese heritage. His name was Sacre, and he was

also known as Firecracker.

Sacre was a well-built man with a height of about 1.90 meters. Due to his diverse

heritage, he looked somewhat Middle-Eastern. The shape of his eyes, his hair, and his

skin color retained Chinese traits.

Brother Wolf would manage the people he hired, like he supervised Big Ivan. Li Du

placed great trust in him.

However, Brother Wolf would be busy for a while. He had to prepare for his trip to

Australia where his daughter would go through the second stage of her surgery.

Thanks to excellent medical care and costly but effective drugs, Ivana has been

recovering well. Hence, she could now undergo the second stage of the required

surgery.

The first stage restored her facial features and skin to improve the appearance of the

lines and cracks. Currently, those were almost invisible from afar but still noticeable if

one looked closely.

The second operation would restore her face completely. At the same time, she would

undergo surgery on her limbs as well. Ivana would hopefully be able to recover

completely in another six months, once all three stages of the surgery were performed

successfully.

Once Firecracker arrived, Brother Wolf took him to do a quick briefing. As he was going

to Australia to be with his daughter, Big Ivan and Firecracker would be the ones

responsible for Li Du’s safety.

Afraid that the two of them would make mistakes, Brother Wolf took the necessary time

to communicate and instruct the two of them.

As for the issue of Remonin, Li Du could not come to a decision. He knew too little and

did not have much experience with similar cases. Hence, he wanted to consult with

someone else.

The best candidate for that would be Cole. Harry Winston Inc. had many partnerships in

Africa. Although their dealings might not be related to the local government or warlords,

Cole would still know better than he did.

Cole picked up Li Du’s call and offered the same advice as Brother Wolf.

The African government and warlords treated their partners with the utmost integrity.

They understood that losing their reputation on the international stage was as good as

cutting off their funding. Hence, they upheld scrupulous honesty.

Now that he had Cole’s opinion, Li Du made up his mind.

He was ready to give it a shot and wholly support Remonin’s ventures in Mozambique.

He wanted to gain a strong ally for himself.

Shortly after he made up his mind, Cole told him a piece of news that threw him into a

flurry – Carlston was willing to fulfill his part of the agreement. He would transfer his

shares to Li Du.

Carlston held fourteen percent of the company shares. According to the agreement,

every percent was worth twelve million dollars. That would be a total of one hundred

and sixty-eight million US dollars!

If it happened before, it would have been fabulous news. Li Du would have gained what

he wanted in becoming the second largest shareholder of Harry Winston Inc.

However, he was now getting ready to support Remonin’s development and needed a

large amount of cash.

Cole asked Li Du excitedly, “Isn’t it a pleasant surprise? Aren’t you ecstatic? Agitated?”

What could Li Du say? He had mixed feelings!

Hence, he had to rush to New York to complete the paperwork for the share transfer. As

he had to leave Phoenix so soon, he brought Sophie along.

To help familiarize Big Ivan and Sacre with their responsibilities, Brother Wolf included

them in the trip with Li Du.

The three big men trailed behind Li Du and Sophie as they walked. Sophie smiled and

said, “I feel like I have become a government official.”

“This is nothing. In the future, I will bring you somewhere else to let you feel like you’re

the head of state,” Li Du said confidently.

Naturally, he was referring to Remonin’s camp. Now that Remonin had been promoted

to a commander of a military region, he would definitely show great hospitality to Li Du.

There would be a grand parade to welcome them as international VIPs.

Sacre sat next to Li Du on the plane and the two of them struck up a conversation.

Sacre’s grandfather had fled to France in World War II. At that time, he was still young

and was adopted by a French priest. Hence, he had gone to school in France and

stayed there.

The French priest had been very kind to Sacre’s grandfather and did not force him to

change his last name. It meant ‘Thunder’, and his descendants had all kept the

surname.

“You can call me Old Thunder,” Sacre smiled in good spirits, “Or you can call me by my

nickname, Firecracker, Piang!”

Li Du asked, “Are you bad-tempered? Why do people call you Firecracker?”

Sacre smiled. “No, no. I believe that my temper is fine. It’s my grandpa who had a fiery

temper. I inherited the nickname from him and my father.”
