He got a set of carriages and horses for nothing, and Hans was complacent. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Li Du shook his head and said, "Man, it's not a good thing to take advantage of love. ”

Hans pouted, "You say I like to take advantage? You say that a person who donates half of his income to welfare homes and orphanages loves to take advantage?"

Li Du had nothing to say.

Indeed, Hans single-handedly supported Mesa's mother's home.

Now the orphanage has even opened a special orphanage to better care for the children, most of which is funded by Hans.

Hans not only donated money to Mesa's mother, but when he made a lot of money, he would also donate money to other welfare organizations, which Li Du had to admire.

Li Du is more stingy in this regard, he will not donate money at will, unless he can see that he can get benefits from it, such as the charity auction he held last time, the purpose is to punish those who maliciously slander him.

As the last light of the evening fell below the horizon, the auctioneer Saidit stepped on, raised his arms and shouted, "Welcome to the Hersman Auction, I am your favorite old friend Saiditer......"

As usual, boos rang out below.

Li Du stood outside the crowd, listening to the sound of boos, he smiled and said: "This guy is really interesting, why does he know that he will be booed when he says this, but he always starts like this?"

Hans crossed his arms and said, "Because this is the mode of the auction, it is the beginning of the interaction, in fact, everyone does not dislike it, but they just think it is interesting." ”

While the two were chatting, another white man in his fifties and sixties walked up to them and asked, "Good evening, two, Boss Li and Boss Fu?"

Li Du looked at him in surprise and said, "Yes, hello, do you need any help?"

The old man asked, "That's right, I'm the mayor of Mountain Town, you can call me Steve Kilton, it's nice to meet you two." ”

Hans whispered to Li Du: "Mountain Town is a small town around Flagpole City, and it is a very old town, with about one or two hundred households. ”

Li Du nodded and looked at the old man.

The old man continued: "I don't know if you've ever been to Mountain Town, it's a beautiful place, and the people are very kind. ”

Hans nodded, "I've been, and the 'farm-to-table' service is very special, and the green tomato nachos, flying bacon and finger-sucking chicken are great. ”

Kilton smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, you must know that there are a lot of old-fashioned timber buildings in our town. ”

Hans continued to nod.

"For old timber buildings, they can catch fire easily, so you have to do a good job of fire prevention and be ready to put out fires all the time," Kilton said. ”

"But there was a problem with our town's fire truck, it couldn't be used, and we had to buy another car, but we didn't have that much money in our town. ”

Cars in the United States are cheap, which refers to family cars, and models such as special cars are also very expensive, and a brand new firecar costs at least 100,000 yuan.

Kilton said, "We saw your fire extinguisher, which was removed from the fire truck, and I want to ask if you still have it?"

Li Du said: "It hasn't been sold yet, and it will appear at auction later." ”

Kilton smiled bitterly: "No, is there anything else to do with this set?" At the auction, the price of the fire extinguisher will not be low, and we don't have that much money to get it." ”

Hans asked, "Not necessarily, how much money have you prepared?"

Kilton said, "About two thousand." ”

Hans stretched out his hands to Li Du and made a helpless gesture, this money is indeed too little, only 2,000 yuan, the starting price is more than this, the starting price is at least 5,000 yuan, and the transaction price is likely to be around 10,000 yuan.

Kilton sighed, "So, I'd like to ask if you have another set in private, and if so, I'd like to see if you can make an installment payment." ”

Li Du also smiled bitterly and said, "Mayor Kilton, your town is not so poor, right?"

"The main thing is that it's not yet the autumn harvest season, and if it's after the autumn harvest, then we will have more money," Kilton said. ”

Hans whispered in his ear: "The mountain towns are economically underdeveloped, there is a small-scale peasant economic model, and most people have no money. ”

Li Du didn't know what the small-scale peasant economic model meant, but looking at the way the mayor of Kilton was dressed, he knew that they really didn't have much money.

He asked, "Isn't there a fire truck in your neighboring town?" Or didn't the state or Washington give you any money?"

"No, there is no appropriation, and we are 40 kilometers away from the neighboring town, so I am afraid it is inconvenient to share a fire truck. Kilton's face was full of frustration.

Li Du thought about it for a moment and asked, "Can the auction be cancelled for the things that were sent to the auction table?"

Hans said: "Yes, but you have to have a good reason to do it, otherwise the auction house will not be happy to cooperate with us in the future." ”

"There's a town that needs a fire extinguisher, and we have one, and we want to donate it to them," said Lidu. ”

"Donations?" Hans emphasized.

Li Du said: "Yes, donation, this fire extinguisher belongs to a fire truck, since this is the case, then let it go where it should be." ”

Hans said, "Good proposal, I'll go negotiate with the auction house." ”

Kilton listened to the words of the two, with a surprised expression on his face, and said, "Two gentlemen, are you serious?"

Li Du said: "Yes, if this fire extinguisher can play a role in protecting the safety of one party, then we are willing to let it perform this duty." ”

He got a carriage today, so let's give it away as well.

In addition, he made this choice for another purpose, that is, in his opinion, it was more useful to donate the firefighters to a poor town than to exchange them for a few thousand dollars.

He didn't lack thousands of dollars, but he lacked good fame, so he donated the fire extinguisher to the mountain town, and if this news was passed on, he could have a higher evaluation in the treasure hunter circle.

Of course, it would be better if a fire extinguisher could help a hill town.

After Hans negotiated with the people at the auction house, someone went up and whispered a few words to Saiditer, who nodded and the auction continued.

When it came time to put out the fire extinguisher, Saidit shouted, "I know there are a lot of guys who are attracted to the fire extinguisher, but I'm sorry, I have to apologize to everyone......"

Hearing this, someone below let out a dissatisfied cry: "Don't tell me this thing is not for sale." ”

"Did someone buy it at a high price in advance?"

"I guess there is no such fire extinguisher at all, it is the auction that makes fake gimmicks to attract people!"

After hearing these words, Li Du understood why the things that were on the auction were almost not allowed to be removed, which greatly affected the credibility of the auction.
