383. The identity of the young master (monthly ticket 89+)

Li Du asked: "You have been identifying it just now, just to identify if this is a complete dodo specimen?"

Stephen smiled and said, "No, we checked several items, including its integrity and its authenticity."

Li Du said strangely: "What is there to check the authenticity?"

Stephen explained: "As the price of dodo specimens has increased in recent years, many people have begun to forge such specimens."

"How to forge it?"

Stephen thought for a while and asked, "Do you know, dodo bones are not uncommon now, they are rare in complete dodo specimens."

Li Du knew that he had read the information before. In October 2005, a team of Dutch biologists discovered an important dodo site in Mauritius and discovered a large number of dodo bones of different ages.

By December 2005, the bones began to be displayed to the public in the National Museum of Natural History in Leiden, Netherlands, and before that, specimens of the remains of dodo birds had almost disappeared.

Seeing him nodding, Stephen said: "After the fragmented bones appeared, someone used these real bones to combine them with the bone specimens of certain birds similar to dodo to forge a complete dodo specimen."

"There are other ways to make artificial bones, but for experts, such fakes can be seen at a glance, so they are not very common."

Li Du can't sigh that Lenovo's previous fake mahogany furniture is really powerful.

After confirming the authenticity of the specimen, Steve decided to buy the specimen.

He nodded, and the old man Elson wrote a check for Li Du.

It was a huge deal. Li Du called Wells Fargo, where the check belonged to, to verify it, and the other party confirmed the authenticity of the check.

After he hung up the phone, Steve said friendly: "Lee, I heard you just said that this is your first time in Boston?"

Li Du said: "Yes, I've been staying in Flagstaff City before."

Steve asked, "What do you think of the city of Boston?"

Li Du said: "Very good, a city full of charm and history."

Steve said again: "Then I think, maybe you want to go around the city? If you want to do this, I will arrange it. I want to entertain you for a meal in the evening, but it's still early and I'm a boring person, so it might be more interesting for you to go out and go around."

After saying this, he glanced at the check in Li Du's hand.

Li Du was stunned, then nodded and said, "Thank you, this arrangement is amazing."

If he just listened to Steve, he would feel that the other party was turned away in a tactful way.

But after he noticed Steve's eyes, he realized that he was giving him a chance to go to the bank to exchange checks.

Obviously, Steve guessed that Li Du didn't trust the check very much.

There is nothing to be embarrassed to admit. Li Du is not familiar with Steve. He must have felt more at ease to withdraw the money and transfer it to his bank card.

Elson made a phone call and a Cadillac President One drove to the door of the villa. He arranged the driver and said that if you need to communicate directly with the driver.

Leaving Beacon Hill, Li Du asked, "Dao, do you know the family called Tusenberg?"

The contact was not long, but Steve showed the style of a young hero everywhere. He felt extremely comfortable in dealing with people and won his favor in a short time.

This kind of skill in dealing with things is by yourself, but the result of receiving elite education since childhood or being influenced by the family.

Also, Mr. Elson looks like his housekeeper, and he lives in a mansion of tens of millions at a young age.

So he guessed that Steve should have come from a big family.

There are many invisible wealthy people in the city of Boston, most of them belong to some old-fashioned families, and Steve seems to be a member of this old-fashioned family.

Da Ao thought about it carefully, shook his head and said, "Sorry, boss, I don't know. Maybe you should ask Boss Fu, I don't know much about these senior executives' information."

Li Du nodded to show his understanding that the generous President One drove to the side of Wells Fargo at the foot of the mountain. He asked the driver to stop, then exchanged the checks and transferred the money to the bank card.

With cars to carry, they will feel much easier when they walk around in the afternoon.

There are many attractions in Boston, such as barn cemeteries, public gardens, Boston Park, and barn cemeteries, and they all walked around.

Of course, the most important thing is Harvard University.

For students around the world, Harvard University and Cambridge University are undoubtedly two holy places. As the United States dominated the world after World War II, Harvard University's influence and popularity gradually surpassed Cambridge University and became the holy place in the hearts of more students.

Li Du is no exception. There is no reason not to go to Harvard University when you come to Boston.

But although Harvard belongs to Boston, its campus is actually located in Cambridge.

Cambridge was a distance from downtown Boston. It was getting late, so he couldn't let Steve wait for a long time. Finally, he hesitated and decided to go back to Mount Beacon first.

President One stopped at the mountainside, and Godzilla in the back seat got off the car first to unlock the door for Li Du. Li Du walked down, and Godzilla and Dao stood behind him.

Some tourists looked down from the mountain road. When people saw this scene, they looked at each other:

"What a big style, luxury car bodyguard, which young master is this?"

"It looks like an Asian, does he live in this old residence of Thoreau? What a rich and powerful bastard!"

"Speak quietly, you will be miserable when he hears you."

Li Du looked at the tourists for no reason, Godzilla and Dao followed, and then the tourists accelerated the speed of going down the mountain.

Seeing this, the two big men grinned their teeth and laughed.

Li Du said helplessly: "Why are you laughing at? We have been misunderstood. Don't follow me like this in the future. Your expression is easier-minded. We are usually friends, not bosses or subordinates."

Dao said: "Boss, this is not important. I seem to have heard an important message. Is this building a former residence of Thoreau?"

"The former residence of Thoreau?" Li Du asked, "Which Thoreau?"

Dao said: "Henry David Thoreau, one of the greatest writers of the nineteenth century, philosopher, representative of Transcendentalism, a good man with a conscience. Oh, he has a classic book called "Walden."

After hearing his introduction like this, Li Du suddenly realized that Thoreau was not very familiar with, but the book "Walden" was very familiar.

In addition to his identities as writers, philosophers, etc., Thoreau also had a famous identity, which was a staunch abolitionist. During the Civil War, he was one of President Lincoln's most staunch supporters, constantly supporting Lincoln and this policy through words.

Therefore, in the hearts of black people, Thoreau has a high status, and therefore, Dao keenly picked out the word "Thoreau's former residence" from people's conversations.
