Everyone had something they were good at, but as a leader, you had to be good at everything.
Brother Wolf and Godzilla were silent and capable of execution, so Li Du often arranged for them to follow him to do more private physical work.
Lu Guan was good at spreading news. After Li Du told him the plan, in just one day, a number of bars in town began to spread a rumor:
The foreigner, Li Du, who bought the number 115 mine, had been duped by Blanchette. Blanchette had been digging on number 115 for five years without finding anything, but the foreigner successfully dug out black opal!
News of Li Du being swindled had been circulating in town for days, but the miners were not paying much attention to it because there was so much of that sort of thing all year round.
However, after Li Du had been cheated, he managed to dig out black opal. That news attracted the attention of large numbers of miners and ranchers.
