Once the gems were polished, the news spread that there were 12 pieces of good black opal in Li Du's mine. Dozens of gemstone buyers came after hearing this news.
Li Du listened to their offers but didn't make a decision. He told the crowd he had to go to a jeweler to rate and value the gems. He could not decide the price now.
This was normal. His 12 jewels were fine, and together they would sell for at least two or three million, so they could not be sold at just any price.
The 12 gemstones that had been polished were carefully selected from all the gems that Li Du had dug up. The rest were small, low-grade, and low-priced.
The valuable gems were polished because Li Du wanted to use them as bait to catch other big fish.
With these gems in mind, people quickly forgot that Li Du had bought mine number 115 because he had been scammed by Blanchett.
