The deal was completed, and Hans and Chicano shook hands and said goodbye. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Out of the building, Li Du said, "Who did you sell the umbrella to?
The reason why he asked this was because he didn't think it was like Hans's style.
Indeed, treasure hunters are very concerned about credibility, and if the deal is negotiated, then there can be no more backtracking.
However, the deal for the umbrella should not have been completed, in this case, with what Li Du knew about Hans, he would have chosen a buyer on his own merits, and he would definitely have heard the offer of Chicano.
After listening to Li Du's inquiry, Hans said: "I found a seller, but the price has not been negotiated. ”
In this way, Li Du said strangely: "Then why don't you listen to Chicano's offer?"
Hans pointed to his head and said, "Brother, brains are good things......"
"Speak up if you have something to say!"
Hans said, "Okay, like the statue of the Flying Goddess, there is a mark on the umbrella, but the mark is on the umbrella cloth, so it can't be modified." What would he think if he was asked to see the marking, and he checked that the umbrella and the car logo could not be matched?"
"Also, this guy doesn't really want to buy an umbrella, he also kind of wants to see our character, so I showed him the image of a businessman who talks about rules and values integrity, he is satisfied, we are satisfied, and the business is closed. ”
Li Du nodded, indeed, just now Chicano only asked the question about the umbrella once, and he didn't ask again after Hans refused.
If Chicano had really been interested in umbrellas, he wouldn't have given up so easily.
There is no doubt that although he has the help of the little flying insect, he still has a lot to learn in the warehousing and auction industry, Li Du sighed.
Out of the building, they first went to find a hotel to rest, about the umbrella trade in the evening.
After dinner in the evening, Hans took them on a bus into a bustling street.
"This is Broadway, man, I didn't see it last time, you can take a good look at it this time. ”
Li Du leaned on the window and asked, "Where are we going?"
"Go to your hometown. Hans said.
Li Du immediately reacted: "Los Angeles Chinatown?"
"Yay. ”
It doesn't take more than a kilometer to walk north, and Chinatown is there.
Los Angeles' Chinatown, which is connected to the Old Downtown area, is one of the largest Chinese communities on the West Coast of the United States, where a large number of immigrants from China live.
However, nowadays, Chinatown is no longer exclusive to Chinese, immigrants from all over Asia like to live here, and Chinatown has gradually become a kind of recognition and respect for Asian culture by American people.
Beginning in the second half of the twentieth century, Los Angeles saw a sharp increase in Chinese immigrants, and Chinatown was divided into three, with a total of three Chinese regional clusters.
Among them, the one they are going to is the oldest, and the Chinese living in it are mainly immigrants from the Guangfu area.
The other two are called 'Little Taipei', which is predominantly Taiwanese Chinese, and the other is New Chinatown, which is dominated by new immigrants to Los Angeles in the 21st century.
This Chinatown is built in the style of old-fashioned Chinese architecture, with antique archways at the entrance, red lanterns and shop signs written in Chinese characters.
After getting off the bus, Hans said to Oo: "Man, put on your sunglasses and hang out the bayonet so that at least the handle of the knife is exposed." ”
The Great O did as he was told, and then a fierce man appeared behind them.
Li Du felt inexplicable and asked, "What are you doing?"
Hans said: "The security here is not very good, we have to let Da Ao suppress these bastards." ”
Li Du asked: "We Chinese have a relatively mild temper, will the security in the gathering place be bad?"
"Anyway, I read the news, and the violent crime rate in Los Angeles is up 21 percent from last year, with a whopping 67 percent increase in violent crime and property crime in the downtown and Chinatown areas compared to the same period last year," Hans said. ”
As they walked inside, Li Du understood why Hans had taken the Great Ao with him.
The security of Chinatown is indeed not good, and before night falls, many young people with dark faces have begun to shuttle through the streets and alleys.
However, he looked at the appearance of these people, not Chinese, but Vietnamese, Indonesian, Korean and Japanese.
He raised his question, and Hans nodded: "Yes, the chaos and security here has little to do with the Chinese, but it can also be said to have a lot to do with it. ”
"Why?"
"Because the Chinese are industrious and thrifty, and you are mild-tempered, some bastards like to bully you, and they keep invading Chinatown and creating this chaos. ”
Although they are all yellow Asians, Chinese, Vietnamese, Indonesians, and Burmese are still easy to distinguish from each other in terms of appearance.
After a few young people who smoked saw Li Du who was dressed in high-end clothes, they couldn't help but walk towards him, and when they saw the big Ao like a king Kong orangutan behind him, they would subconsciously stop.
When he first came to Los Angeles' Chinatown, he realized that he had a great responsibility, so he exposed the bayonet even more, and the entire hilt of the knife was exposed.
Li Du sighed: "What kind of trading partner are you looking for? Why do you have to trade at night?"
Hans said: "The other party asked, so I brought the big oyster, tonight's transaction may not go well, the other party is an explorer, all outlaws." ”
As he spoke, he searched the map and finally found a shop called 'Tang Dynasty Changsheng Library'.
Seeing the name of this shop, Li Du couldn't help but laugh.
Hans asked, "What's the matter?"
Li Du pointed to the plaque and said, "Do you know what words are written on it......"
"Of course I don't know, how do I know Chinese characters. Hans said angrily.
Li Du glared at him and said, "I was going to explain it to you, I just asked casually." ”
Hans spread his hands and said, "Then you can explain quickly." ”
Li Du said: "It is written on the 'Tang Dynasty Changsheng Library', which should be a pawnshop, and the Changsheng Library is a name for the pawnshop, which originated in the Song Dynasty, and in the Tang Dynasty, it was generally called 'Quality Library'." ”
Hans was confused: "Well, where's the laugh?"
Li Du said helplessly: "It's just that the name is a bit messy." ”
"Yes, this name is a mess, Niang Xipi, Old Tang blames you, what kind of cultured person is pretending. A rough voice rang out.
As the voice sounded, a sturdy middle-aged man walked out of the room.
The middle-aged man is about forty years old, with a well-groomed short beard, rough skin, sharp eyes like knives, and a walking posture, giving people the first impression of a tough guy.
He glanced at the three of them, and his eyes remained unchanged when he saw Da Ao, but he frowned after sweeping down to see the bayonet, and said, "Butcher? ”
Li Du didn't want to make a misunderstanding, this middle-aged man gave him a sharp feeling, if he made a fuss, he might not be able to calm people.
So he hurriedly said: "Hello, we are here to do business, to sell an umbrella. ”
