This time in Phoenix, Hans and Li Du suddenly became celebrities. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Just like the sports and entertainment worlds, the warehousing and auction industry, which has become a complete industrial chain, also has its own small circles and large circles, and these people have fixed points for accommodation, meals, and recreation.
After seeing the warehouse, Hans introduced the situation of Phoenix to Li Du on the way, and took him to the hotel where the treasure pickers liked to stay.
Li Du said: "The first two times we came to Phoenix, why didn't we stay there?"
Hans shrugged and said, "Your Chinese culture is broad and profound, if someone is so powerful that they return to the familiar environment to show off, what should they say?"
"Returning home. ”
Hans said: "Yes, I went to 'exchange a pound for a flyer' this time, and I was afraid of being embarrassed when I went before!"
The inn they went to was called Steam-Powered, and it was a wooden spire house with a small stone paved road at the door, and the street lamps on both sides of the road were kerosene lamp style.
The interior of the hotel is decorated in a steampunk style, with propellers, gears, pistons, and bearings hanging on the walls, and tables and chairs with a mechanical flavor, some of which are still like racing chairs.
Hans got out of the car holding a suitcase, and Li Du walked in front.
So he walked to the door and stepped on the steps, and there was an exhaust pipe on the door, which immediately sounded and spewed out a steamy white mist.
Seeing this, he was startled and hurriedly retreated, being sprayed with steam on his body was not a joke!
Someone inside laughed, "Don't be afraid, man, it's just dry ice and water vapor, it won't hurt anyone." ”
Hans shouted to the speaker, "Iron Man, you bastard, you have scared my brother, think of how to compensate us." ”
A middle-aged white man with an elegant face walked out of the counter with a smile, he put down the rag in his hand and said, "I will compensate your brother, not you." Come on, Chinese Lee, come to me for a steam cocktail. ”
Li Du thought that the people who liked steampunk were rough men or unruly young people, but this middle-aged man had a gentle temperament, which was very different from what he expected.
In addition, the middle-aged man wears a tuxedo, a top hat, a walking stick in his hand, and even a pocket watch, a bit like a European gentleman a hundred years ago.
Hans introduced him, "This is Bids-Rothschild, we call him Iron Man, you know Rothschild, Lee?"
Li Du looked shocked: "That legendary Rothschild?"
The Rothschilds, the most mysterious ancient family on earth, are considered to be the most powerful family that has controlled the world's economic lifeline for nearly two centuries, and they are highly photographed in stall literature.
Bids smiled, "Don't listen to Hans's nonsense, he's kidding you." ”
Li Du reluctantly turned around and gave Hans, who was smiling proudly, a middle finger.
Back at the counter, Bids nodded, and a handsome young man at the counter began to make cocktails.
The young man was dressed like him, like the kind of old-school aristocrat who came out of an old Hollywood movie.
This cocktail is very interesting, after mixing, there may be dry ice in it, and the snow-white water vapor slowly floats out, no wonder it is called a steam cocktail.
Hans said, "Only one glass?"
"Atone for your brother's sins. ”
Hans opened the box and said, "That's sad, you bastard, I think about you all the time, and lo and behold, I brought you a gift this time!"
Inside the box was an antique clock, a fake they hadn't sold.
Seeing this clock, a smile suddenly appeared on Bedes's face, and he hugged it to his side and looked at it carefully.
"Fake, don't look at it, it's just the style of a French table clock with imitation of German Mason porcelain flowers and gilt copper, the real thing was born in the same year as your favorite Bratzze. Hans said as he snatched his cocktail.
Born in 1814, the Bratzer was the world's first steam locomotive named after the Prussian general Bratzer, a hero of England at the time who had helped Britain fight Napoleon's army.
Bids smiled: "Very good, this gift will make me happy all day, come on, arrange a room for you first, and then come down to drink, and get drunk until you are drunk!"
The handsome-faced young man pouted disdainfully and said, "Boss Fu, this miser is the best at showing favors, this kind of fake is worthless, we have several." ”
Hans was just about to reply, when seven or eight men came down the stairs, and when they saw the two of them, they greeted each other:
"Hey, Boss Fu, why did you come to Phoenix?"
"Shet, this guy must have smelled the baby's scent, how about taking us for a ride?"
"China Li, how about a different partner? I'm more reliable than Boss Fu. ”
Hans raised his middle finger and scolded with a rebellious face: "People who want to dig, get out, Li and I are not just partners, we are brothers, brothers!"
Bids arranged a standard room for the two, which had two large beds, the door was like a ship's hatch, and there was a rudder at the head of the bed, like a themed hotel.
When he entered, he reached out and knocked on the door, saying, "The sound insulation is very good, you can discuss confidential information casually inside." ”
Hans smiled, "Of course, we can trust you. ”
"If you can trust me," said Bids, "for the sake of the antique clock, I will give you a heads-up." ”
"What's wrong?"
"Be careful in this auction, a lot of people are eyeing you, and you may not get anything. ”
Hans frowned and said, "We've only made a little money, and we've been targeted so quickly?"
Bides said, "A little? Your antique clocks sold for almost 200,000 yuan, how many people in Phoenix can make so much money at one time?"
Later, they went downstairs to drink, and soon some treasure hunters came up.
Hans and Lidu quickly became the center of attention, with people asking about their status and others asking about their goals in Phoenix.
"Is there any inside information, and if so, how about giving us a little disclosure?"
"Yes, Boss Fu, you're a generous guy. ”
"For God's sake, guide us lost lambs, I haven't opened this month!"
Someone couldn't stand it anymore, pushed away the crowd and sat next to Li Du and said: "Don't be too arrogant, this is Phoenix, not a rural place like your Flagpole City, I bet you don't want to make money from Phoenix this time!"
Li Du smiled and said in a low-key manner: "You can't make money, it's good to have a long experience." ”
The white man with a tattoo on his neck looked at him defiantly and said, "That's right, the hillbilly will get to go around the big city more." ”
Hans glared and was about to get angry, Li Du pressed his shoulder, and said to Bids: "We're almost drunk, we want to go out for a walk, see you later." ”
When he was about to leave, he turned around pretending not to care: "By the way, I see you just bought a clock?
Bids was stunned for a moment, pointed to the antique clock, and said, "Oh, you said this? I bought it for a thousand dollars." ”
Li Du said: "I just bought an old house in Flagpole City, I lack an antique clock, I pay 1,500 yuan, how about selling this clock to me?"
Bids shrugged and said, "It's okay, I already have ......"
"Hey, Iron Man, I'll give you two thousand. The big white man with a tattoo on his neck preemptively said.
