Li Du didn't just want to provide them with space to be alone, he did want to entertain other treasure hunters. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
He and Hans called everyone together, saying that they were going to prepare dinner together, but in fact they told them one thing:
"You are free to give your things to these three appraisers to see, and if they ask to take them away to help you find a buyer, don't refuse, give them your things and let them take them!"
Turis hesitated: "Boss Li, isn't this a bit dangerous?" How can we possibly hand things over to him without a security deposit? That's impossible. ”
Li Du said: "Everyone rest assured, I have my own arrangements, and I will never let you lose a dollar, can't you still believe me?" ”
The treasure pickers shook their heads and said how could it be, and then they agreed one after another.
Li Du finally advised: "Remember, what I say to you, we must not let the Californians and appraisers know, this is our own business. ”
"Of course!"
"Feel free everybody, there's wine and barbecue here, guys, get high!"
As soon as they heard this, everyone immediately let out cheers: "Hey, hey, hey! Get high! ”
Ma Cheng and Pol's side, the five of them chatted, they were all good communicators, and they quickly became familiar with each other, and they were all Californians, and they had more common topics.
"Frank, my buddy, our industry is similar, and we all need to keep learning and expanding our horizons."
"Yes, we often attend museum activities, and in our free time, we like to soak in the library or watch documentaries in various industries."
"Speaking of museums, you live in West Los Angeles? It's not far from the Getty House Museum, right? Have you ever been? ”
"Of course we have, we're regular visitors there, and I love the colonnades and herb gardens."
"Haha, then we may have met, Du and I are both maintenance experts hired by them, of which Du is in charge of the ancient Greek civilization plate, and I am in charge of the ancient Etruscan civilization."
Hearing this, York exclaimed, "It's amazing, we haven't met before?" What a pity! ”
Ma Cheng patted him affectionately on the shoulder and said, "Next time you go to say hello in advance, I can help you save admission tickets and parking fees." ”
"That's a good thing," Pol laughs, "it's so hard to park in that place, damn it, and it's 15 bucks for parking!" ”
Ma Cheng was surprised: "15 yuan? You haven't been there in a while, have you? It's actually 20 pieces. ”
"Oh, shit!" The look of wariness in Pol's eyes waned slightly.
Chatting about the Getty Villa Museum, they talked about the Santa Monica Museum of Art and the Museum of Latin American Art in Long Beach.
"If you often need to visit the library to read, then I recommend a place for you, the Huntington Library in Pasadena." Du Dayuan said.
"That library isn't easy to get into, man, it's hard to get into." York shook his head.
Ma Cheng and the others laughed, and Du Dayuan said with a smile: "If you know Mr. Ding, it will be good, his brother-in-law is the management director of the library." ”
Ding Xiaofeng smiled reservedly, he took out his mobile phone to show a few photos, including family photos and work photos, he pointed to one of the middle-aged white men: "This is my sister's husband, and he is personally responsible for the rare book library of the Huntington Library!" ”
York's eyes lit up: "You said the rare book library?" Is it a rare book library with the Gutenberg Bible? Oh my God, that's amazing. ”
Ding Xiaofeng nodded and said, "Yes, look, I've also studied it inside." ”
He flicked the screen again, and in the new photo he and his white brother-in-law were lying on the table pointing to a large, thick book.
York excitedly said: "That was great, I wanted to go for a long time, there is a very rich collection of European medievals." ”
"And there is a beautiful garden, with more than 1,200 kinds of flowers in the rose garden." Ding Xiaofeng added.
"Yes."
The more the two sides talked, the more speculative they became, Ding Xiaofeng simply made a phone call, and then said to the two: "Tell me your mobile phone number, and I will give you a small gift." ”
Pol and York were wary again, but they just gave him their phone number, which was not private, and they gave it to him.
Ding Xiaofeng said a few more words, and after hanging up the phone, after a while, the two people's mobile phones rang to receive text messages, and when they opened it, there was a QR code MMS inside.
"What is this?" York was surprised to read the message on the MMS message, "The Huntington Library in Los Angeles is looking forward to welcoming you, with this QR code, you can enter the library without an appointment every weekend in October and visit the rare book library......"
Ding Xiaofeng smiled and said, "I just called my brother-in-law and asked for two VIP monthly passes. ”
Bol showed a rare sincere expression and said, "Thank you." ”
Du Dayuan kept looking at his watch, and York noticed it and asked, "Du, are you in a hurry?" ”
Listening to his inquiry, Du Dayuan smiled bitterly and said: "Obviously, we have to attend a party here tonight, but we are not suitable to appear here with some things, I want to deposit it in the bank, and now the bank is about to get off work." ”
"What's that?" Pol asked.
Du Dayuan kept silent, and Ma Cheng said: "There is nothing to hide from friends, in fact, it is some ruby artworks, and this time I want to participate in the ruby artworks of Phoenix Autumn Auction." ”
Pol noticed the small box that Du Dayuan was holding on his wrist, and suddenly said, "Oh, is it in here?" ”
Du Dayuan nodded nervously and said in a low voice: "Be quiet, man, there are too many people here, and I don't think their faces are very good." ”
"Of course, although I am friends with them, I have to remind you from the perspective of a friend to be careful of these people," Pol said. ”
York added: "It may not be a good thing to say, but as a friend, I must say that your compatriot is not a very good man. ”
Du Dayuan said: "Then I have to deposit it in the bank, there is JPMorgan Chase Bank in Flagpole City, right?" Our company cooperates with them and can store the lot for free. ”
During this time, Bol and York were both in Flagpole City and were already familiar with the city.
So York volunteered: "Yes, I'll take you there, in fact we have something in the bank, but not JPMorgan Chase, but at First Finance." ”
Du Dayuan smiled excitedly: "That's great, thank you." ”
York said, "Actually, we should be thankful because you gave us two precious VIP tickets to the library." ”
Ding Xiaofeng smiled: "Isn't it right for friends to help each other?" Let's go, let's go and stock up on our stuff before we come back. ”
