The four little grapes picked just because they were fun. After Li Du encouraged them, they felt that it was even more fun and they were even more enthusiastic.

In this way, Li Du can't go fishing anymore, and he has to accompany the fourth little girl here.

After staying at Turtle Island for two days, he talked a lot with Steve. Based on the other party’s experience of buying islands, Li Du has gained a lot of experience and should be able to use it when buying Sanou Island in the future.

Two days later, they returned to Sydney and parted ways.

Steve flew back to the United States, and Li Du and his party stayed in Australia and waited for Ivana to undergo postoperative diagnosis and treatment.

During this period, he did not waste his time and flew to Tasmania and gave some information to Bull Steward and Theodore Tony.

After staying for more than ten days, Ivana's postoperative diagnosis and treatment were over and she could return to the United States for recuperation.

At this time, the girl still had to wear a veil, but when there were no outsiders, she could accept taking off the veil.

Admittedly, she still looks very bad now, with gauze on her face, and there are knife edges under the gauze, and there are many slits, like a broken doll.

However, she looks much better than before. At least her facial features are formed and her skin is constantly applied with ointment, the scars begin to fade, and she looks like the cute loli in the past.

Sophie gave her a gift, which was blonde hair, which was exactly the same as Ivana's previous hair style. After wearing a wig, Ivana's mood improved more.

At first, Li Du's plan was to ask Brother Wolf and Sophie to take Ivana back to the United States for recuperation, and he had to stay here to continue to preside over the Black Opal excavation business.

Because he wanted to buy Sanou Island, he needed a lot of money. The Black Oppa Mine in Lightning Ridge is the fastest channel for money. According to his estimate, the gems in the ore veins around the No. 122 mine must be worth tens of millions of yuan.

As a result, he soon discovered that the road was not working, so he wanted to sell the Black Opal to his own Winston Group. As the saying goes, the fat water will not flow to outsiders.

But Cole did not have enough cash to make the acquisition, so he could only pay with equity, and he didn't want to continue selling equity, at least he didn't want to.

In this way, the black opal dug out by Li Du had to be sold to other luxury goods companies for exchange.

Black Opal is very popular in the international market. If he wants to sell it, there will always be people who are willing to buy it.

But considering that these luxury goods companies are competitors of the Winston Group and now Winston Group is preparing to launch a new series of jewelry with the theme of opal, if it sells a large number of black opals, it will reduce the value of this jewelry series.

After considering it, Li Du suspended the sale of Black Opal. He asked Obradovic and others to continue mining, but all the gems dug were preserved and they would not be sold out for now.

He made this consideration not only because he had to think about the Winston Group, but also because Hans told him a brand new opportunity to make money.

Government warehouse auction!

The Arizona government in the United States is preparing to confiscate property by state agencies in the first half of the year before the auction in early July, at Phoenix, and a grand government warehouse auction will be held.

Li Du heard of such auctions when he was in Flagpole City. This is the biggest banquet in the warehousing and auction industry and will attract a large number of treasure-picking people to attend.

For various reasons, local governments, police stations, banks, etc. will confiscate a large amount of property. Some are the income from illegal items, some are the income from creditors after they are unable to repay the loan, and some are the lost items.

There are two channels for handling illegal income. If it is something that can pose a threat to social stability, the police will destroy it. If there is no threat to society, they will hand it over to the government for auction.

There are two ways to deal with houses, vehicles, jewelry and other items that the bank has not collected. One is to be auctioned. If the auction fails, it will be stored in the warehouse.

Government warehouse auctions mainly deal with items collected from these two channels. Although no one accepts these things on the open auction, it does not mean that they are all garbage.

On the contrary, there are a lot of treasures and valuable goods, but it is a test of people's vision.

Hans introduced: "Every government storage auction, millionaires will be born. Some people have found classic cars in it, some have found boxes of jewelry, and some have found - a lot of shit!"

"We might as well go back to this auction, Lee, with your eyes and my good luck, we may not be able to make a big profit."

Li Du looked at him suspiciously and said, "My eyes are fine, but your good luck?"

Hans straightened his chest: "I feel like I'm insulted. Of course I'm lucky. What's the question?"

"There are so many questions." Li Du gave him a blank look, "If we rely on your luck to participate in the warehouse auction, we might have starved to death!"

Hans thought about it for a moment and said with a smirk: "It seems that too, we can't rely on luck to pick up treasures."

At the end of June, Li Du transported the Mi-8 helicopter back to the United States by sea, and then the group flew from Sydney to Los Angeles on a passenger plane.

At this time, Los Angeles was about to enter summer. The sun was hot and the wind was warm. Hans got off the plane and immediately opened his arms. Li Du asked, "Are you going to kneel down again?"

The last time they returned to the United States from China, they got off the plane in Los Angeles, but the guy fell down directly. Li Du still remembers this.

Hans snorted, "I'm not an idiot, why am I doing this?"

After a short stop in Los Angeles, they continued to take a plane to Phoenix. The journey was relatively short, and Hans and others had gone home.

Compared to Los Angeles, the Phoenix desert stove has completely entered summer. As soon as Li Du walked out of the cabin door, a hot wind came towards him, and he immediately felt sweaty.

Not long ago, they were on Sanou Island, and they were trembling with cold at night. When they returned to Phoenix, they were sweating all over. Both extreme feelings made them uncomfortable.

Hans walked off the plane, and 'baji' knelt down all of a sudden, protruded himself to the ground and kissed the earth with his lips, shouting loudly: "Ah, my Arizona, I'm back!"

The passengers around pointed at each other, and Sophie and his party looked embarrassed, but Li Du was calm and calm, not surprising.

Hans ignored the passengers' gaze. He got up happily and breathed hard: "The air in his hometown is sweeter, and I feel my lungs cheering."

Lu Guan said: "Boss Fu, this is an airport. Every day, the plane emits a large amount of waste gas that exceeds the standard of metal elements. If you breathe like this, you will get lung disease."

Brother Wolf, Godzilla and Dao all laughed and nodded.

When they arrived at Phoenix, Li Du and the others did not return to Flagstaff City and lived here directly.

Sophie went to the nursing home to receive Ivana, while the others stayed in the Steampunk Hotel to prepare for the auction soon.
