Li Du was surprised by Christie's presumptuous request. She wanted to cooperate with them.
"I talked to Hans, and I've learned that you came to catch black gold abalone, not for profit, but for fun, right?"
"You could say that, but it does make a lot of money. It's a good business to make money in," said Li Du.
She nodded. "Yes, it's a good business. I could make between $800,000 to a million per year for my ex-husband.
"Now, obviously I can't work with him anymore. I want to work with you, or for you, diving for black gold abalone."
Li Du frowned at her request and said, "Do you still want to continue diving?"
"I don't know what else I can do except this," she said wryly.
Li Du said, "In that case, why don't you buy yourself a black gold abalone harvesting permit? You have five million dollars, so you can buy one, right?"
