After some consideration, Cole accepted Li Du's request. After all, Li Du held the group shares, but never gave an opinion and also never interfered in the business of the group. He was "an idle prince," and the directors all liked that sort of shareholder.
In addition, Cole was willing to agree to the conditions because he was optimistic about Li Du's potential. Cole didn't know why Li Du could constantly find gems, but if he continued to do so, it would be a big help to the Winston group.
Cole had feared that Winston might have been bought on the cheap if it had not been for the $70,000,000 purchase of a highly qualified black opal.
