1470. Massacre (4/5)
The California Customs Warehousing Auction is scheduled to start in mid-September. From the end of August to mid-September, there are no more warehouse auctions that Li Du is interested in, but there are frequent auctions for real estate bids in Los Angeles during this period.
Last time he attacked Logan's side through Hans, Li Du got several houses. This trick would not work in the future. Logan would be wary of all strangers.
On the first Friday of September, another auction is happening.
The auction was held in downtown Los Angeles. Li Du, Hans, Sophie and Barbara went together, two men attended the auction, and two women went shopping together.
Barbara had barely left River Valley Town before, and had never left Arizona. She had first seen a bustling city like Los Angeles.
She was like a country girl who had just entered the city, feeling novel and shocked by everything.
Sophie took her to Montana Street, which was the highest-end shopping pedestrian street in Santa Monica. When Barbara was surprised when she saw the price of the things inside.
When Barbara was almost unable to call out the Melrose Avenue in West Hollywood, he could only say weakly: "God, the cake I saw in front costs 120 yuan, and a shoe here costs God! Eight thousand yuan?! The price of things in this mall can be worth our town!"
The shopping guides who accompanied them smiled and said nothing. They have high professional qualities and will not laugh at any customer. However, if they have no sales value, they will not be very enthusiastic.
These people's vision has been tried and tested, and they can roughly judge the other party's purchasing power at a glance.
A girl like Barbara reveals a nearly shabby simplicity all over her body. Even if she doesn't speak, the shopping guide can guess that she won't shop in the store, and it may just be here to open her eyes.
She loved the pair of high heels she saw, which was never possible in River Valley Town, but the price was discouraged.
Sophie noticed her likes and said, "It's very suitable for you, buy it."
Barbara shook her head repeatedly: "No, I don't want it."
Sophie chuckled, "Don't consider the price. You may not know your fiancé's worth. In short, he can support you to wear a pair of such shoes every day until you are 100 years old."
The shopping guide next to him smiled and felt that his mother was criticizing him. She had seen many girls who could pretend to be comparable, but it was rare for such temperament to be rare.
Barbara found a reason casually: "No, look at these shoes, they are lamb skin soles, right?"
The shopping guide nodded and said, "Yes, this is made of lambskin collected from the exclusive ranch in New Zealand's South Island. It has gone through eighteen processes and is made by French fashion master Jean-Reddy."
Barbara said: "Not only lambskin, it is not suitable for soles, because it is too soft and can easily be worn or damaged."
The shopping guide was stunned and said, "Wear and damage? How to wear and damage? These shoes are specially designed for red carpets, and the red carpets will not wear the soles."
Barbara widened her eyes: "It's only for walking on the red carpet? Is it cost so much money to buy a pair of shoes just to walk on the red carpet? But how many times will a person walk on the red carpet in his life?"
She turned her head and looked at Sophie: "When will you walk on the red carpet?"
Sophie took out the palladium card that Li Du gave her and handed it to the shopping guide and smiled: "When you got married, I got married."
The shopping guide was a little confused for a moment. She had seen palladium cards many times, but she didn't expect that this girl in ordinary clothes could take out one at will.
Soon she realized that she had just thought it wrong. A girl with such temperament really can't pretend to be a good person. She is really awesome.
Li Du looked at the time, knocked on his watch and said, "Let's go to the auction first, let them go here to visit."
Hans went over and rubbed Barbara's head, and smiled and said, "Tell Sophie what you like. Don't be polite, otherwise Sophie will be angry. She hates girls who are not real enough."
Barbara said with a smile: "I'm very real. I'm not a person in movies, TV series and books, so I'm standing here."
This is like a joke, but Li Du knows that she is talking very seriously.
Now he knew that Barbara was not going well at birth, and her brain was temporarily deficient in development. She was not stupid or had low IQ, but she was like a girl in many aspects.
The Barbara family was so angry after seeing Hans with her because they felt that Hans had deceived the girl and got her.
Now, Hans has always shown his ultimate affection, so the Barbara family accepted him and prepared to hold a wedding for the two.
Walking out of the store, Li Du took a taxi to the Los Angeles Housing and Urban Development Bureau.
He asked Hans, "When are you going to get married?"
Hans asked back, "Where are you?"
Li Du said: "If nothing unexpected happens, it will be next year."
Hans laughed: "Then I will hold a wedding next year, how about I'll hold a wedding together? There are more people."
Li Du nodded and said, "Of course there is no problem."
When we arrived at the entrance of the Housing and Urban Development Bureau, Dickens and his party were already waiting here.
When Li Du saw them say hello and said, "Come on, there are 21 houses this time. I hope we can gain something today. This is my summary of the house information. You can discuss how to allocate it yourself."
"Wow, there are enough houses." Ollie smiled.
Dickens patted his chest and said, "I have prepared enough money. The two houses happened to be sold before. Today I want to kill them!"
Someone was waiting to kill them with them. Logan rarely came to the hall early. Many local tenants in Los Angeles stood beside him, just like the wolf king and the wolf pack.
Logan looked at his phone leisurely, and the tenants around him stared at Li Du and his party like they were facing class enemies, all of whom were "tie you".
The first house was quite valuable at the beginning of the auction, with a starting price of only 140,000 yuan, but Li Du estimated that it could sell for 240,000 yuan.
Oli bid: "French thousand!"
Someone from Logan bid for him and raised his hand and said, "Fifty-one thousand dollars!"
Some tenants who were out of the way were also interested in the house, so they also followed the offer.
There are also ordinary home buyers, some of them came for this house and continued to bid: "160,000 yuan!"
These ordinary home buyers are strangers, and Logan immediately chased the offer: "161,000 yuan!"
It is clear that they would rather kill them than let them go.
Oli actively bid. After more than ten rounds of competition, the price reached 200,000 yuan. At this time, ordinary home buyers gave up the competition. Some people came to this house specifically and turned around and left when they could not buy it.
Two hundred thousand is within Oli's acceptance range, and he once again quoted: "Twenty thousand!"
Once he raised the price significantly, the tenant around Logan also followed the price significantly: "Twenty-two thousand!"
There is not much profit margin like this, Ollie gritted her teeth and said, "Twenty-three thousand!"
The other party faced the challenge again: "Twenty-four thousand!"
Chapter completed!
