669.Horseshoe Town (3/5)
After communicating with Brother Wolf, Li Du went to find Hans, who was on the phone, and said, "Leave Victoria and let her get along with Ivana." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Hans covered the microphone and said, "I'm trying, but Mama Mesa is stubborn, I'll try hard." ”
Li Du waved his hand and said, "It's not about working hard, it's about doing your best." She must be left behind, this is a political task. ”
Hans looked at him stunned, and then said to his phone: "Okay, Mom Mesa, for God's sake, if you treat Little Fufu as a son as you promised, then let your children be reunited......
As he spoke, he came over and kicked Li Du away to prevent him from eavesdropping on the conversation.
More than ten minutes later, Hans hung up his phone and walked out, sighing: "Not dishonoring the mission, BOSS, I have completed the political mission." ”
Li Du nodded with satisfaction and said, "Good job, Xiao Fufu." ”
"Who is Xiao Fufu?" Da Ao, who was working, was stunned.
Hans frantically shouted, "Shut up, I don't want to hear this title a second time, or I'll fight with you!"
Li Du laughed, he didn't expect Mesa's mother to give Hans such a meaty nickname.
Victoria stayed here, and there were two rooms and two beds up and down the cottage, and the two little girls slept together.
From the beginning of dinner, the two girls began to discuss the activities of the evening.
Ivana showed her the toy she was sleeping with and gave her a beautiful nightgown, while Victoria was drawing with great interest, and Li Du looked at it, and the girl was designing the decoration of their little room......
He said helplessly to Brother Wolf: "Take care of them, don't let them make trouble." ”
Brother Wolf smiled gently, "Yes, boss." ”
At the beginning of December, the two little girls moved together, and Li Du told Sophie about it.
Sophie is happy and says that it is a good result, and that it is good for each other that the two introverted little girls are together, comforting each other, supporting each other, and encouraging each other.
At the same time, at the beginning of this time, Li Du frequently drove to the thrift trading market.
There is not only a thrift market in Flagpole City and the surrounding area, but also a large thrift market in many towns and remote areas, and he has to run to see them all.
Hans couldn't understand it, he felt that the profit of the thrift market was smaller than that of the warehouse auction market, and the two of them were extremely familiar with the latter, so how should they not deal with the former.
Li Du couldn't explain that he went to the thrift trading market not only to make money, but also to replenish the energy of the little worm.
Before paying taxes, he still had nearly $30 million in his hand, which was too much money for him to look down on the market of warehousing and auctions.
There is not much money to be made in the thrift market, but there is time for the little flying insect to absorb it, which is much better than him making a small amount of money.
Flagpole City is located on the Colorado Plateau, with the Colorado River at its northwest end, and on the southeast bank of the river is another thrift trading hub called Horseshoe Town.
Several sections of the Colorado River bent like a horseshoe as it flowed through Arizona, and Li Du had seen one when he visited the Hopi Reservation before, which was Horseshoe Bend.
The town of Horseshoe they were going to this time was not directly related to the Horseshoe Bend he had seen, but the place where the river bent this time was also of a similar shape, hence the name of the town.
They drove over, and Hans sat in the passenger seat and yawned, "Okay, let's go to Horseshoe Bend, far away Horseshoe Bend, and even if we don't make any money, we can at least get some grilled fish to eat, right?"
There are many freshwater fish in the Colorado River, among which salmon is a famous product.
Salmon in winter is the time to spawn back, and they are very fat at this time, attracting a large number of gourmets to taste them.
Li Du said: "Be patient, man, be patient, we can make money in this market." Besides, aren't you annoyed to always participate in warehouse auctions?
Hans snorted, "We are working, we are annoying, but we can make money from work." yes, why am I telling you that? You're a billionaire now. ”
He said 'billionaire' in a sarcastic tone, but he guessed right, Li Du is really worth more than 100 million.
Two pickup trucks drove all the way, and after a few hours, finally drove into the town.
Horseshoe is a long-established town that has been around for more than 200 years and was home to the first white, black and Indian settlements in Arizona.
At first, there were casinos, casinos for the Indians. The casino attracted a lot of people, and many of the settlers in the early years came to the casino.
The reason why a casino was built here is that in the past, the United States did not allow private individuals to open casinos, and there were large rivers, forests, and mountains, and the terrain was complex and steep, and the sky was high and the emperor was far away, and it was not easy for the government to manage it, so the Indians built casinos here.
Later, with the rise of Las Vegas and with the U.S. government allowing Indians to open casinos on a tribal basis, the town declined.
Casinos are definitely still more profitable to open in overpopulated areas, and many small casinos have relocated.
The casino was relocated, and the residents who came for the casino also moved, so there were a lot of daily necessities that could not be taken with them, and they needed to be traded.
Since then, there has been a large thrift market in the area, and many surrounding Indian tribes and villages have come to trade it.
In this way, as time passed, the town did not disappear because of the relocation of the casino, and certainly did not expand in size, but the trading market became bigger and bigger, and the town lost its residents and moved in, and it finally remained.
To this day, the road to the town is still not easy to walk, some sections of the road are dirt roads, and there are no roads, that is, high-horsepower, high-chassis pickup trucks can pass through.
After a while in the rugged mountains, a road reappeared, and at the intersection there was a tall sign in the shape of a U that read: Welcome to Horseshoe Town, or make a fortune or lose your pants.
At the top of the sign is a sign that the fishing line pulls a big fish, which is the town's specialty, American sockeye salmon.
Unlike Hessman, Horseshoe's thrift trade is not a street stall, and there are plenty of thrift shops, large and small.
Among them, the large thrift store was converted from a former casino, and the small thrift store was converted into a family home - along the main road, the exterior wall of the house was opened, and there were containers inside.
Looking at these shops with open walls, Li Du remembered the commissary in his hometown when he was a child, with similar shapes and similar container styles.
Another similarity is that the town is about the same size as his hometown.
Horseshoe Town is too small, covering an area of less than 300 acres, which is just over a square kilometer, and there are not many residents in it, but there are many tourists.
