The official was very good at finding out the news, and soon he figured out the situation at Sunshine Jazz Manor.

The former owner of the manor is called Black Crocodile Bick, and also has a nickname called Big Demon King, who controls the largest gang in Santa Monica.

At the beginning of this year, the police raided the bloody office building and found only products, arms and many smuggled goods from it. In addition, they found a large number of certificates of their tax evasion, and then sent the gang boss, Black Crocodile Bick, to prison.

The Black Crocodile Bick was actually involved in a murder case, but he was cautious in his work and the police could not catch him, allowing him to escape.

In Santa Monica, many people are afraid of this guy. They are just ordinary businessmen who choose tenants. They dare not provoke the Black Crocodile Bick and the Bloody Gang, so after receiving the warning, they gave up their ambitions for the manor.

During the auction, Li Du did not leave anyone around the manor, so he did not get the news in time.

However, he was not afraid after receiving the news. At first he didn't know what was going on, but he became confused because of the unknown. Now that he knew the causes and consequences, he felt that it was not scary.

Li Du was not afraid of the so-called gangs. He had worked with countless gangs over the years, and even had warlords. There was nothing scary about the other party, and they could only scare the people.

Snyder helped him handle the property procedures. Forensic auction houses cannot be purchased for bank loans and must be purchased in full, which is one of the reasons why it is low.

Li Du has enough funds on hand, and now his account funds remain above 100 million for many years, especially with diamond output, the account funds are growing faster.

He spent two main points: one was Shaou Island and the other was investing in Remoin.

And he made more money. Lightning Ridge produces black opal, Amenda mine produces diamonds, warehouse auctions, adventures to get ivory and whale teeth, and this time he found a gold treasure and cooperated with the Tavexi tribe, and made money.

The foreclosure house procedures are handled quickly, and the government has special preferential treatment in this regard. It is probably to quickly convert the house into money. Therefore, soon after paying the money, Li Du got a bunch of real estate certificates.

Snyder advised him not to rush to sell the house, but to simply decorate it first, and then rent it out for a year or two before selling it.

The decoration of these foreclosure houses is relatively poor. In order to vent their anger before leaving, the owner would smash the decoration even if he did not destroy the pipeline line.

Therefore, if you sell it directly, it is difficult to sell at a high price. It is best to decorate it first, rent it out for a while after decoration, and then sell it. At this time, the decoration is new enough but has traces of use, and it is most popular in the market.

Li Du left these things to Snyder. He helped him handle the procedures smoothly. He was an experienced and connected expert. Li Du was willing to hire him to help him handle the house he got.

The manor was not sold anymore. He opened the door and took a group of subordinates to move in.

Li Du hired a housekeeping company to clean up the house, the lawns needed to be mowed, the groves needed to be sorted out, and the small vineyards and small farms needed to be cleaned up.

This is a considerable workload. Just cleaning up the entire manor is 12,000 yuan. This amount of money can buy a nearly foreclosed house.

The cleaning process takes one week, and during this time Li Du will deal with something.

Before the auction, Li Du was interested in the manor, but also in a detached house, or in other words, he was interested in something in the basement of the detached house.

This thing is a statue, a combined statue of two people, specifically a marble floor, a marble basketball stand and two basketball players wearing No. 34 and No. 8 respectively.

The statue is almost one-to-one. The two statues are very large. Anyone who is familiar with basketball knows that this carved two superstars in the American Basketball Team, Shaq O'Neal and Kobe Bryant.

Los Angeles has a super team in the U.S. professional basketball team, that is, the Los Angeles Lakers. O'Neal and Kobe were the ace combination of this team. The two teams joined forces to win three consecutive championships for the Lakers.

But these two are superstars with a higher ambitions. In the end, because of the team boss's tricks and their personalities, they eventually parted ways and the combination was broken.

When Li Du checked this detached house, he found the statue in the chaotic basement. The sculptor is definitely a master figure. This marble statue is made incredibly realistic, with high value, and is more valuable than the house it belongs to.

The engraver did not want to use it to make money, otherwise he would not have sealed it in the basement without selling it after the engraving was finished.

Some words were engraved on the floor of the stadium, which was also marble, which described the origin of the statue and the reason why it was neglected later.

The Sculptor is an avid basketball fan. As a Los Angeles man, his loyal team is naturally the Los Angeles Lakers, and his favorite players are naturally the Lakers ace combination Kobe and O'Neal.

After the Lakers won the third championship, the Sculptors had the idea of ​​making statues for the group and wanted to celebrate the team's creation of a dynasty.

As a result, just one year later, the statue was not finished, Kobe and O'Neal fell in love, and the latter was sent to other teams, and the Los Angeles Lakers fell into a trough.

As a loyal supporter of the team, the engraver was very sad, but he endured the pain to carve the statue, and hoped that one day his two favorite stars would relieve their past grudges and join forces again.

He left a message on the marble floor, hoping that when that day comes, he will give the statue to the Lakers and make a story.

But later, for some reason, the sculptor did not come back, and the statue remained in the dark basement until it was discovered by Li Du.

Li Du guessed that the sculptor was too sad because O'Neal had retired until now, and he and Kobe were unable to join forces again.

In addition, Kobe's Achilles tendon torn in the first half of this year against the Golden State Warriors, which is a very serious injury. It is speculated that he may retire.

Li Du also called to comfort him when he was injured, but Kobe was stubborn and paranoid, and he didn't need these things at all, so he didn't know what Kobe actually was.

When he got the statue, he felt that he could give it to Kobe or O'Neal. The two had a big fight back then, but with O'Neal's retirement, the relationship between the two began to develop in an optimistic direction again.

It was not easy to remove the statue from the basement. Li Du rented a crane and took out the four statues.

Assembled, the whole picture of the statue is a basketball stand on the marble floor. Kobe broke through sideways, O'Neal held up with one hand and jumped up in a posture. The next step seemed to be a pass and a catch to dunk.
