A large diamond vein requires at least four mines, and for someone with greater ambition, opening six or eight mines is not unheard of.
The Maled Mountains cover a vast area, with Windsor Reed's portion located in the east, occupying one-quarter of the whole Maled Mountains area. This is considered quite a substantial piece.
However, before confirming the quality of the vein, Windsor Reed dared not fully invest in mining, preferring to dig one pit first to test his luck.
Initially, Windsor Reed's idea was to wait for Huo Sining to be available to assist with the gamble on the mine, as in his view, gambling on diamond mines isn't something that can be decided casually; true masters often reside in the mining area for a year or more, studying the mountain range's orientation and geology. After everything is set, they proceed with reasonable analysis.
But he was unaware that Huo Sining's approach to gambling on mines was significantly different from those masters.
