Li Du asked: "You have been identifying just now, that is, to determine whether this is a complete dodo specimen?"

Stephen smiled, "No, we checked several items, including its integrity, but also its authenticity. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Li Du said strangely: "What is there to check for authenticity?"

Stephen explains: "As the price of dodo specimens has risen in recent years, many people have started falsifying them. ”

"How to fake?"

Stephen thought for a moment and asked, "Do you know that the skeleton of a dodo is not uncommon now, and it is rare to find a complete dodo specimen. ”

In October 2005, a team of Dutch biologists discovered an important dodo site in Mauritius and found a large number of skeletons of dodos of different ages.

By December 2005, the skeletons were on display at the National Museum of Natural History in Leiden, the Netherlands, before the dodo bone specimens were almost extinct.

Seeing him nod, Stephen said, "After the fragmentary bones appeared, someone used these real bones to combine them with the bone specimens of some birds similar to the dodo, and forged a complete dodo specimen. ”

"There are other ways to make artificial bones, but for connoisseurs, this kind of forgery can be seen at a glance, so it is not very common. ”

Thinking of the previous fake mahogany furniture, Li Du couldn't help but sigh, human beings' ability to fake is really strong.

After confirming the authenticity of the specimen, Steve decided to buy it.

He nodded, and the old gentleman Elson wrote a check to Li Du.

It was a million-dollar matter, and Li Du called Wells Fargo, to which the check belonged, to verify it, and the other party confirmed the authenticity of the check.

After he hung up the phone, Steve said kindly, "Lee, I heard you just say, you are coming to Boston for the first time?"

Li Du said: "Yes, I used to stay in Flagpole City. ”

Steve asked, "And what do you think of the city of Boston?"

Li Du said: "Very good, a city full of charm and history. ”

"Then I think you might want to go around the city?" if you want to do that, I'll arrange for you, and I'd like to treat you to dinner in the evening, but it's still early, and I'm a boring person, so it might be more interesting for you to go out for a walk." ”

After he said this, he glanced at the check in Li Du's hand.

Li Du was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Thank you, this arrangement is really great." ”

If he just listened to Steve, he would feel that the other party was tactfully closing the door.

But after noticing Steve's eyes, he understood that he was considerately giving him the opportunity to go to the bank to exchange checks.

Apparently, Steve guessed that Li Du didn't trust the check very much.

There is nothing to be embarrassed to admit, Li Du is not familiar with Steve, he must feel more comfortable taking out the money and transferring it to his bank card.

Elson made a phone call, and a Cadillac President No. 1 drove up to the door of the villa, and he arranged for the driver, saying that if there was anything he needed to communicate directly with the driver, he could just communicate with the driver.

Leaving Beacon Hill, Li Du asked, "Da O, do you know the family called Tucsonberg?"

The contact time was not long, but Steve showed the demeanor of a young man everywhere, and he was extremely comfortable with himself, and won his favor in a short time.

This kind of handling of things is by no means the result of barbaric growth and self-cultivation, but the result of receiving elite education from an early age or being exposed to it in the family.

Also, Mr. Elson looks like his butler, and he still lives in a mansion of tens of millions at a young age.

So he guessed that Steve should come from a large family.

There are a lot of hidden rich people in the city of Boston, and most of them belong to some old family, and Steve seems to be a member of this old family.

Da Ao thought about it carefully, shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, boss, I don't know, maybe you should ask Boss Fu, I don't know much about these high-level information." ”

Li Du nodded in understanding, and the wide President No. 1 drove to the side of a Wells Fargo bank at the foot of the mountain, he asked the driver to stop, and then exchanged the check and transferred the money to the bank card.

With a car, it is much easier for them to go shopping in the afternoon.

There are many attractions in Boston, such as the Barn Cemetery, such as the Public Garden, such as Boston Common, such as the Barn Cemetery, and they all go around in circles.

Of course, the most important thing is Harvard University.

For students around the world, Harvard University and Cambridge University are undoubtedly two holy places, with the United States dominating the world after World War II, Harvard University's influence and popularity gradually overtook Cambridge University and became the sacred place in the hearts of more students.

Li Du is no exception, and there is no reason not to visit Harvard University when he comes to Boston.

But although Harvard belongs to Boston, it is actually located in the city of Cambridge.

Cambridge was some distance from downtown Boston, and it was getting dark, so he couldn't keep Steve waiting, so he finally hesitated and decided to go back to Beacon Hill first.

President No. 1 stopped on the mountainside, and Godzilla, who was in the back seat, was the first to get out of the car and open the door for Li Dula, and Li Du walked down, and Godzilla and Ooku stood behind him.

Some tourist-like people walked down the mountain road, and when they saw this scene, people looked sideways:

"What a big man, luxury car bodyguard, whose young master is this?"

"Looks like an Asian, does he live in this old Thoreau house? What a rich and powerful bastard!"

"Be quiet, you'll be miserable when he hears you. ”

Li Du glanced at the tourists inexplicably, Godzilla and Ooku followed, and then the tourists sped up their descent from the mountain.

Seeing this, the two big men bared their teeth and laughed.

Li Du said helplessly: "What are you laughing at? We have been misunderstood, don't follow me like this in the future, your expression is easy-going, we are usually friends, not bosses and subordinates." ”

"Boss, it's not important, I seem to have heard an important message, this building is Thoreau's former residence?"

"Thoreau's old residence?" asked Li Du, "which Thoreau?"

"Henry David Thoreau, one of the greatest writers of the nineteenth century, philosopher, representative of transcendentalism, a good man with a conscience. Oh, and he has a famous book called Walden. ”

Hearing him introduce this, Li Du suddenly realized that he was not very familiar with Thoreau, but he was very familiar with the book "Walden".

In addition to being a writer and philosopher, Thoreau also had a well-known identity as a staunch abolitionist. He was one of President Lincoln's staunchest supporters during the Civil War, constantly supporting Lincoln and this policy through writing.

Therefore, in the hearts of black people, Thoreau has a very high status, and it is for this reason that Ao keenly extracted the word "Thoreau's former home" from people's conversations.
