The four little grape picks are just for fun, and after Li Du encourages them, they feel more fun, and they are even more enthusiastic. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In this way, Li Du can't go fishing, he has to accompany Sixiao here.
After staying on Turtle Island for two days, he and Steve chatted a lot, and according to the other party's experience in buying the island, Li Du has gained a lot of experience, and he should be able to use it when buying Shaou Island in the future.
Two days later, they returned to Sydney and went their separate ways.
Steve flew back to the United States, and Li Du and his entourage stayed in Australia to wait for Ivana for postoperative treatment.
He wasted no time and flew to Tasmania to give some information to Bull Stewards and Theodore Toney.
After staying for another ten days, Ivana's postoperative treatment was over and she was able to return to the United States for recuperation.
At this time, the little girl still has to wear the veil, but when there are no outsiders, she can accept to take off the veil.
Admittedly, she still looks terrible now, with gauze on her face, and under the gauze there are knife cuts, and there are many seams, like a broken rag doll.
But,Compared to before, she looks much better now.,At least her facial features are formed.,After the skin is constantly smeared with ointment.,The scars began to fade.,Regain the appearance of the cute Lori before.。
Sophie gave her a gift, which was blonde hair, exactly the same type and hairstyle as Ivana's previous hair, and after wearing the wig, Ivana's mood improved even more.
At first, Li Du's plan was for 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 digging business.
Because he needed a lot of money to buy Shagull Island, the Black Oba mine in Lightning Ridge was the fastest way to get money, and according to his estimates, the gems in the veins around Mine 122 had to be worth tens of millions.
As a result, he soon found that this road did not work, and he wanted to sell the black opal to his own Winston Group, as the so-called fertilizer water does not flow into the fields of outsiders.
But Cole didn't have enough cash to make the acquisition, so he had to pay for it on behalf of his shares, and he didn't want to sell his shares anymore, at least not now.
In this way, the black opal dug up by Li Du had to be sold to other luxury goods companies in exchange for money.
Black opals are very popular in the international market, and if they want to sell, there are always people who are willing to buy them.
But given that these luxury companies are competitors to the Winston Group, and now that the Winston Group is preparing to launch a new collection of opal-themed jewelry, he would be depressing the value of the jewelry collection if he were to sell a large number of black opals.
After thinking about it, Li Du suspended the sale of black opals, and he asked Obradovich and others to continue mining, but all the gems dug up were preserved and not sold yet.
He made this consideration not only because he had to think about the Winston Group, but also because Hans had told him about a new opportunity to make money.
Government Warehouse Auction!
The government of the state of Arizona in the United States is preparing to hold a grand government warehouse auction in Phoenix, six months before the auction in early July.
When Li Du was in Flagpole City, he had heard of this kind of auction, which was the biggest banquet in the warehouse auction industry, and would attract a large number of treasure hunters.
For various reasons, local governments, police stations, banks, etc. will confiscate a large amount of property, some of which are illegal items, some of which are confiscated after the lender is unable to repay the loan, and some of which are lost items.
There are two ways to dispose of illegal gains: if it is something that poses a threat to social stability, the police will destroy it, and if it is not a threat to society, they will hand it over to the government for auction and sale.
There are also two ways to dispose of houses, vehicles, jewellery and other items confiscated by banks, one is to auction them off, and if the auction fails, they will be stored in warehouses.
Government warehouse auctions deal with items collected from these two sources, and although these items are not accepted for auction on the surface, it does not mean that they are all garbage.
On the contrary, there are a lot of treasures and valuable goods in it, but it is very challenging for people's eyes.
"Every government warehouse auction gives birth to multimillionaires, and someone finds a classic car, someone finds boxes of jewelry, and someone finds a lot of shit!" Hans explains.
"We might as well go back to this auction, Lee, with your eyes and my good luck, we may be able to make a fortune. ”
Li Du looked at him suspiciously and said, "My vision is fine, but your good luck?"
Hans puffed out his chest: "I feel like I've been insulted, of course my luck is good, what's the doubt?"
"I have a lot of questions. Li Du gave him a blank look, "If we rely on your luck to participate in the warehousing auction, we may starve to death for a long time!"
Hans pondered for a moment, and then sneered, "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 blazing, the wind was warm, Hans got off the plane and immediately opened his arms, Li Du asked, "Do you want to kneel again?"
The last time they returned to the United States from China, they got off the plane in Los Angeles, but the cargo knelt down directly, and Li Du remembered this incident vividly.
Hans snorted, "I'm not an idiot, why am I doing that?"
After a short stop in Los Angeles, they continued on a flight to Phoenix, a relatively short journey that Hans and the others were able to go home.
Compared with Los Angeles, Phoenix, the desert stove, has completely entered the summer, and as soon as Li Du stepped out of the plane door, a hot wind came to his face, blowing him immediately sweating.
Not long ago on Sand Gull Island, they were shivering from the cold at night, and this time they returned to Phoenix but they were sweating all over their bodies, and the two extreme feelings made them uncomfortable.
Hans stepped off the plane, 'Boom' fell to his knees, threw himself to the ground and kissed the earth with his lips, and shouted, "Ah, my Arizona, I'm back!"
The surrounding passengers pointed and pointed, Sophie and her party were full of embarrassment, but Li Du was calm and calm, not surprised.
Hans ignored the passengers' gazes, he got up happily and breathed hard: "The air in my hometown is sweeter, and I feel my lungs cheering." ”
The official said: "Boss Fu, this is the airport, every day the plane emits a large number of exhaust gases with excessive metal elements, and you are so careful to breathe so carefully that you get lung disease." ”
Brother Wolf, Godzilla, and Oo all laughed and nodded yes.
When they arrived in Phoenix, Li Du and the others did not return to Flagpole City, and stayed here directly.
Sophie goes to contact the sanatorium to receive Ivana, while the others stay in a steampunk hotel to prepare for the auction shortly after.
