The Arizona government thrift auction attracted a large number of senior treasure hunters, and the state government also issued invitations to these people through the state warehouse auction association, inviting them to participate in the auction, which was very low-key in its posture.
The state wanted to invite back the state's only 10 million club members, but George Anthony was quite upright and didn't come in person, just let his son and his own men participate.
The Arizona state government gave him face, and when he learned that his son was coming to the auction, he invited him to attend a press conference, and he was also a member of the two sessions.
Conrad Anthony, along with Lidu and Hans, are the outliers in the 'Two Sessions', and the others are at least members of the Million Club, and they are the only ones who belong to the 100,000 Club.
The news was revealed by Chris Bell and Johnson in a chat, and Bell meant that Li Du and Hans could be treated differently by the local state capital, and there must be something special, so they came over to make friends.
Li Du was a little surprised and asked, "Conrad Anthony is a member of the 100,000 Club?" ”
"Among young people, it's really good, after all, he has been in the warehousing and auction industry with George since he was a child. "But if I had a dad who was a member of the Ten Million Club, I could be a member of the Million Club at his age." ”
Hearing Johnson say this about Conrad, Li Du roughly understood his strength.
This young man is very powerful, he has been in contact with the warehousing and auction industry since he was a child, and he is full of experience.
But the vision should still be lacking, Johnson means that he can join the 100,000 club, it is to follow his father.
After a while, the press conference began, and as invited guests, Li Du and others sat behind the chairman's table.
The size of the guest group was not small, in addition to Conrad and the four of them, there were also three members of the Million Club who participated.
The state government arranged for a press officer, gave background introductions to the eight members, and made simple packaging to make their work even more legendary.
Li Du was relatively low-key at the press conference, answering questions from reporters, listening quietly when no one asked, leaving the stage to others.
Americans are very good at expressing themselves and selling themselves, and Hans and Conrad, both of whom are very active in communicating with journalists.
These people know that the media has helped their cause too much.
Warehousing auction is a very broad industry in the United States, with a large number of employees, but the status is not high, because even if you do the top, your net worth is tens of millions at most.
Tens of millions is undoubtedly a lot of money, but for other industries, the top people can often enter the global rich list, and this industry is not likely to do so.
In this case, many top treasure pickers will change careers across industries, and at this time, the help of the media will come, and if there is exposure, there will be fame, and when there is fame, there will be advantages.
Li Du doesn't care about this, he has successfully transformed, but he is just low-key, otherwise he can now show his status as a shareholder of the Hai Rui Winston Group.
The press conference went well, and everyone knew how powerful the media was, so they showed joy and mutual respect on stage.
Johnson was a good man, and when he learned that Hans, Lidou and Conrad Anthony were at odds, he invited Bell to sit between them.
Conrad was very upset to see Li Du and Hans, but he was not a brainless fool, and knew that this was not the time to make trouble, first, there was the media, and second, there was Bell and Johnson, whose status was not lower than his father.
After an hour of press conferences, questions ended, and the state government's Department of Public Services began to introduce the warehousing and auction industry and the highlight of the auction.
When the meeting ended, Li Du and Hans laughed and walked out, and were bumped by someone just out of the door.
He turned his head and saw Conrad's young and unruly face, and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"
The title of 'young man' made Conrad obviously very dissatisfied, and he noticed Li Du's superiority over himself in his tone, and immediately became angry: "I heard that Asians are very polite, but now I look at it, this is fake, you have to call me senior, understand?"
Li Du didn't want to talk to him, shrugged his shoulders and bypassed him to leave.
Conrad reached out to pull him, and at the same time said in his mouth, "Soft egg, I have something to tell you." ”
Brother Wolf stood in front of him, his eyes indifferent.
Conrad had been cleaned up by him before, and he was a little jealous of getting close to him, so he took a step back, pointed at Li Du and said, "You have lost the opportunity to reconcile with me, wait and see, I will make you regret it." ”
Li Du shrugged his shoulders again and said, "I will wait patiently." ”
Another big report, and then the auction officially began.
July 2nd is the weekend, and the auction takes place in Phoenix for two consecutive days.
Early in the morning, Li Du and his party formed a team and went to the location of the government warehouse.
The parking lot was already full of cars, and the Public Service Department requisitioned the parking lots of two large shopping malls nearby, and someone specially guided the parking with treasure pickers.
It's not just trucks, but also family cars, pickup trucks, SUVs, and so on, and it's clear that the government's advertising has been very successful, and many ordinary people have been attracted to it.
The U.S. economy is sluggish, and people need side hustles to earn money to support their families and pay off their mortgages and car loans.
It may be difficult to give birth to top rich people in the warehousing and auction industry, but it is not difficult to make a small amount of money in it, and it is a very suitable job for side hustles.
Li Du and Hans got out of the car, and several people walked towards him and took the initiative to greet the two:
"Hey, Boss Li, Boss Fu, do I want to learn from you?"
"Guys, I'm also from Flagpole City, and I hope to be taken care of by you in the future. ”
"You two did a great job at the press conference, you guys are like stars, that's cool. ”
The two did not know these people, and it was clear that they were newcomers who had been attracted by government propaganda.
Li Du shook hands with them and told them that they could stay together if they wanted to study.
These people were overjoyed and happily joined the team of the two.
Bell and Johnson arrived one after another, and a group of people followed each other.
Johnson lifted his iconic cowboy hat, he walked up to Li Du and hugged his arm and asked, "How is it, did you find anything good?"
Li Du smiled: "It's too much, I'm going to kill today." ”
Bell walked over and said, "Then we'll have to go hand-to-hand, come on, let me see the future treasure picker in Arizona." ”
Hans shook his fist and said, "Ready, everyone, let's go to war!"
