The cargo ship finally arrived safely at the port of Santos in Sao Paulo, Brazil, South America, after five days and six nights of sailing.
"Mr. Guo, please be sure to visit my country when you have time. This is my number." Before leaving, Abur repeated his invitation to Guo Xuyang to visit and gave him his private phone number.
"Abur, I'll go too!" Xiao Yun shouted.
"Of course. Please go with Mr. Guo and Mr. Lü. I will definitely show you all the customs and traditions of our country then." Abur said with a smile.
Abur left with the bodyguards who were waiting for him.
Guo Xuyang and Xiao Yun had nothing to do on the ship and couldn't help with anything, so they decided to disembark and explore.
"Yangzi, don't get off the ship yet. After the goods are unloaded, you'll come with me to deliver the crystals." Lü Liang said.
"Okay. Then I'll take Xiao Yun to buy phones first. Weren't your phones all confiscated? Shall I buy you a few phones? Contact me after you're done unloading." Guo Xuyang said.
"Alright. Be quick." Lü Liang said.
Guo Xuyang was very puzzled, wondering why. He felt as if Lü Liang had something on his mind.
Lü Liang did not tell him that, according to the information received, the crystal buyer's diamond mine had encountered trouble, which might affect the sale of his crystals.
Brazil, a beautiful country, is the largest country in South America and enjoys the reputation of "Kingdom of Football."
São Paulo is the largest city in Brazil, the largest and most prosperous city in South America, and also the destination for Lü Liang and his party.
Lü Liang took over diamonds from here and transported them back to China, and then collected crystals from China and transported them here, earning the price difference. He was responsible for the entire annual transaction volume of billions of US dollars.
The people here are very rich, but of course, the gap between rich and poor is also large, and there are many people who cannot eat or drink.
The boss who took over the crystals, Bruce, was his major client, who distributed tens of millions of tons of crystals from here to surrounding countries and regions every year.
More than half of the five tons of diamonds last time were provided by Bruce, and the rest were purchased from South Africa.
Bruce's diamond mine in the Brazilian rainforest was attacked by unknown creatures, causing heavy casualties and making it impossible to transport the diamonds out in time.
After hearing this news, Lü Liang wanted to ask Guo Xuyang for help to see what was going on.
Of course, Lü Liang had not told Guo Xuyang about this yet, only thinking of asking him to go with him to deliver the crystals first.
Guo Xuyang and Xiao Yun came out of the dock, searched for their location with their phones, and then went to a store to buy three mobile phones and three walkie-talkies.
When the crystals were unloaded, it was getting late. He took Xiao Yun to the dock to meet Lü Liang, and together they delivered the crystals to Bruce.
Bruce had a huge Qing Song farm in the suburbs of São Paulo, and the convoy delivered millions of tons of crystals to the farm.
"Hi, dear Mr. Lü, you've arrived. I've been waiting eagerly for you. Many people here are urging me for the goods." Bruce said.
"Sorry, Mr. Bruce, some minor incidents occurred in the middle, which caused a few days' delay." Lü Liang said.
He certainly wouldn't mention the encounter with pirates.
Bruce was a tall white man, nearly 1.9 meters tall, around fifty years old, very capable. He was wearing shorts and an open shirt and greeted them warmly as they approached.
"This is my brother Guo Xuyang and his girlfriend Xiao Yun." Lü Liang introduced them to Bruce.
"Welcome, friends who have come from afar. Welcome." Bruce greeted the two with great joy.
"Mr. Bruce, thank you for having us these past few days." Guo Xuyang said.
"You're welcome, Mr. Guo. You can bring your girlfriend to my farm to enjoy the countryside life." Bruce said.
Everyone left separately after all the crystals were unloaded.
The rooms Bruce prepared for Guo Xuyang and his companions were located by the river in the manor, which were very unique and romantic, similar to homestays in China.
"Yangzi, Bruce has something that needs your help to look into." Lü Liang chose his words carefully as he spoke to Guo Xuyang.
"His diamond mine has been attacked by unknown creatures, with heavy casualties among the miners, and the diamonds cannot be transported out in time. I wonder if you could help? Of course, you can refuse if it's inconvenient."
"Did you decide to help on your own, or did he ask you?" Guo Xuyang asked.
In fact, he was a little unhappy. He agreed to help Lü Liang with the diamond mine exploration because he had promised Jiang Qixin in advance and was also interested in participating in Jiang Qixin's business.
Even though his relationship with Lü Liang was very good, he was still unhappy about being asked to help without consultation.
"I was anxious! If the diamonds can't be transported out, we won't be able to leave for a while." Lü Liang saw that Guo Xuyang was a little unhappy and quickly said, "If you feel it's difficult, then forget it."
"Since Brother Liang said so, I'll go take a look." Guo Xuyang said.
Despite his unhappiness, he couldn't refuse Lü Liang. Lü Liang had treated him and Xiao Yun very well throughout the journey, and there was really nothing to fault him for.
Lü Liang was also very happy when Guo Xuyang agreed and said, "Tell Bruce tomorrow. If there's nothing else, we'll go take a look."
The next day, Bruce came to their accommodation and invited them to go fishing.
"The fish in this river are very delicious. We'll catch some and have grilled fish for lunch."
"Mr. Bruce, what's the situation with your diamond mine now? Can we go and take a look?" Lü Liang asked.
"I don't know what attacked the diamond mine, killing three miners and injuring more than fifty people. I have already arranged for people to evacuate. It's impossible to get in there for a while. We can only resume work after the cause is thoroughly investigated." Bruce said. "You'd better not go there for now, it's too dangerous."
Bruce's words made sense. Going there before the cause was determined would be pure suicide.
He was not an immortal, but a mortal. It would be too unprofitable to be harmed by unknown creatures due to his greed for money.
After all, with his current strength, he wouldn't have to worry about food and drink even if he lazed around for the rest of his life.
"Mr. Bruce, how many diamonds do you have here now? How about I transport some back first?"
"We collected about three tons this time, and half of it is still at the mine and hasn't been transported out." Bruce said.
"Can you arrange for someone to take us to see it? If we can bring them out, we'll try our best to bring them out." Lü Liang said.
A bird dies for food, and a man dies for wealth. Lü Liang was truly risking his life for the company.
Bruce stared at Lü Liang for a long time and said, "Mr. Lü Liang, if you really want to go, I can arrange for someone to take you. However, I don't think it's worth it. With your current strength, even if you do nothing, you won't have to worry about food and drink for the rest of your life, right?"
Bruce's words were very pertinent, and it was indeed the case.
