It had been more than a week since their group wedding.
The entire team, led by Xiao Li, had toured the famous scenic spots along their route.
Having a private jet was indeed convenient. They would inform the pilot of their intended destinations, and the pilot would automatically report to the various airlines. All they had to do was enjoy playing and shopping along the way.
However, none of them bought gold, silver, jewelry, diamonds, or jade. They knew that whatever these people sold, it wouldn't be as good as what they had in their own stores.
They did, however, buy plenty of scarves, sculptures, and clothing.
"Ye Zi, come help me look. Does this look good?" Guo Yiyang called out as he tried on a gauze skirt.
"This color isn't good. The bright yellow one looks better," Ye Zi said.
"That color is too gaudy. It doesn't suit me."
"Why don't we look around some more? There are still plenty inside, and it's not just this shop," Ye Zi said, pulling Guo Yiyang further down the street.
Everywhere they went, the group would disembark to explore. Sometimes they would stay overnight, and other times they would finish their visit and return to the plane to rest.
These women had come to South Africa and stayed for two days.
During these two days, Lu Liang took Xiao Yu and the others to Sun City in South Africa. They feasted on a banquet of various meats and stayed at Chick's wine estate, sampling his aged wines.
"Ms. Xiao Yun, I've arranged for your dividends to be transferred to your account. I've also transferred Mr. Guo's."
"Thank you, Mr. Chick."
"Why isn't Mr. Guo here as well?"
"He was delayed by some matters. He'll be here in a couple of days."
"Is that so? How many days do you plan to stay here?"
"We'll stay here tonight, and tomorrow I'd like to go to the mine with these sisters," Xiao Yun said.
"That's fine, though it's quite dirty inside."
"It's alright. We're just looking, not going down below."
"Alright then."
"Chick, how many tons of gold have been mined since last year?" Lu Liang asked.
"Around fifty tons. We haven't been able to find suitable locations recently; the high-yield areas have been mostly exploited."
"And the diamonds?"
"The diamonds are doing well. This is a rich deposit.
We didn't expect there to be a diamond pit underneath. We've mined about twenty tons of diamonds here.
The largest one weighed fifty-six carats."
"Good. Is the dividend payout soon? Will each person get a substantial amount?"
"Mr. Guo will receive about a billion US dollars, though that's a conservative estimate.
We still have about two months before the next dividend payout," Chick said.
"It's a pity we invested so little back then. If only we had invested more," Lu Liang said deliberately.
"We didn't expect to find such a rich mine. It's our turn to get rich," Chick said with a smile.
"Last time Yang Zi mentioned there was a good mining site in the national park. Do you have any way to access it?"
"Let's discuss that later. We've mined too many diamonds recently, which has impacted the market.
The authorities have imposed controls on this area, and it's not easy to open a new mine."
"Then forget it. We'll talk about it when we have a chance to return.
These are Guo Xuyang's family and women. Please ensure good security tomorrow so that no harm comes to them," Lu Liang said.
"Don't worry about that. I'll be careful. Are you going with them tomorrow?"
"I won't be going. I have some matters to attend to and need to be out for a day."
"Alright then. See you tomorrow." Chick said, exiting the room.
"Goodbye."
After Chick left, Li Minxi asked, "How much did you invest here? How can you have such large dividends?"
"Thirty million? No, I invested thirty million, and Yang Zi invested ten million. A total of forty million," Xiao Yun recalled.
"Where did you get so much money? If that's the dividend, wouldn't it be over three billion?"
"That's a bit of an embarrassing story.
Shortly after we arrived, Elena and I were kidnapped. This thirty million is the compensation the kidnappers paid me."
"Kidnapped? And you got thirty million in compensation?
I'd be willing to let them kidnap me a few more times," Li Minxi exclaimed.
"What are you thinking? If you were kidnapped, you probably wouldn't get any compensation," Pi Xiaoqian interjected.
"That's nonsense. Why wouldn't I get compensation if I were kidnapped?"
"You might even be killed."
"Get lost, you jinx," Li Minxi retorted with a smile.
Even though Pi Xiaoqian hadn't become Li Minxi's brother-in-law, it didn't stop them from bickering.
Li Minxi had often used Pi Xiaoqian as a fall guy in the past.
Of course, Pi Xiaoqian had been willing then.
It wasn't just that Pi Xiaoqian was willing to be a scapegoat before; he was still willing to be teased by Li Minxi now.
"I'm telling the truth. With your mouth, it's no wonder the kidnappers wouldn't let you go."
"Hmph, you're just saying I talk more than Xiao Yun, right? You're indirectly calling me a gossip, aren't you?"
"I didn't say that at all. You said it yourself. Others can testify to that."
"Wang Yu, tell me, is your husband deliberately insulting me?" Li Minxi directly asked Wang Yu.
"How could Mr. Pi be that kind of person? He wouldn't dare.
With you and your sister here, how would he dare bully you?" Wang Yu said with a smile.
"When a woman marries a man, she follows him. I see you've been corrupted by that fatty."
Li Minxi knew that Wang Yu was also teasing her.
"Of course, my wife has to side with me. Otherwise, wouldn't I be at a disadvantage?"
"Fine, you wait. When Yang Zi arrives, I'll tell him you bullied me."
"Yang Zi is my brother. Do you think he'll bully me for you?"
"Fatty, did I just hear you bullying my wife?"
Guo Xuyang walked in gracefully from outside.
"Are you a dog? Your ears are so sharp.
Hey, why did you follow me?"
Before Pi Xiaoqian could finish, he received a kick to the backside.
"I just heard my wife was being bullied, so I rushed over."
"That's unreasonable. I didn't say anything.
It was your wife who was jealous of Xiao Yun, wanting to be kidnapped for compensation.
She's envious of the large dividends she received."
"Is that so?" Guo Xuyang turned to look at Li Minxi and asked.
"The Chick who just left said your dividends for the first half of the year are almost a billion US dollars. It's enviable," Li Minxi said.
"A billion US dollars? How can it be so much?" Guo Xuyang sounded surprised.
"Chick just said that about fifty tons of gold were mined, and around twenty tons of diamonds, with a rich deposit found underneath the diamonds," Lu Liang added.
"This is a path to riches. If only we had invested more back then," Guo Xuyang said with some regret.
"Who isn't thinking that? We're not short of money. But thankfully, Xiao Yun still has a share of the dividends," Lu Liang chimed in.
