Chapter 1093 1092. The Secret Under the Desktop (15)

Seeing this scene, the head of state's expression suddenly distorted.

He stared at Carter with straight eyes, a little scary.

If Li Du wanted to buy these tables, he would definitely not agree. But the one who bought the table was an ordinary local treasure picker in Phoenix, so he didn't think much about it.

After Li Du got the table, the head of state was angry and annoyed: he always believed that there were things worth one hundred thousand or one million in this warehouse, but he couldn't find them.

Now, when the tables are bought back by Li Du, he thinks that these tables are of such value. As for some seemingly ordinary tables, how can they be so valuable?

He didn't know this, anyway, he trusted Li Du's vision.

Yes, even if he was against Li Du, even if he wanted to trouble Li Du, even if he hated Li Du, but he had to admit that Li Du was the scariest treasure hunter he had ever seen.

Not only did he think so, but so did other treasure pickers.

Seeing that Li Du worked so hard to get these five tables, some treasure hunters who had nothing to do gathered around to watch the fun:

"Hey, Boss Li, why did you buy these?"

"Do you need a table? I have plenty over there haha, I can give you some."

"Five thousand for five tables, Carter, you bastard, you've made a lot of money!"

Carter is very shrewd, and the treasure hunters are very shrewd. He knows what to do to maximize his own interests, so he didn't accept the money from Li Du, but smiled: "It's only five hundred yuan, Boss Li, count me in." It's for you."

He wanted to take this opportunity to show his goodwill, open up Li Du's relationship, and join their small circle just like the treasure hunters in Flagstaff City.

Li Du patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "No, as a treasure hunter, you must keep your word."

He forcefully gave Carter 5,000 yuan, and at the same time promised: "Thank you for helping me. If I need help in the future, as long as I can do it, I will be happy to help you."

The onlookers looked enviously at the treasure hunters. They didn't envy Carter for earning 4,500 yuan, they envied that Carter got on Li Du's boat.

The treasure hunters now regard Li Du's circle as a ship. This is a luxury cruise ship. The golden VIP room on the top floor belongs to Captain Li Du, Hans is the first mate, and the treasure hunter from Flagstaff City is in the first-class cabin.

Carter at least entered the third class. In fact, it doesn't matter how many classes he enters. As long as he can set foot on this ship and get in touch with Li Du, they will be satisfied.

Most of the treasure hunters were envious of Carter, but they forgot Li Du's original intention of buying five tables.

It was the Führer who was paying attention to the tables. He said sullenly, "What are these tables worth? Are they made of gold?"

"You are stupid, head of state, these tables look like wood, but they may be precious wood. I remember that Boss Li got some Asian mahogany." A treasure hunter said.

The head of state ignored him and stared at Li Du: "Let's reveal the answer."

Li Du patted the tables one by one and asked, "Do you feel that they are different?"

Everyone was stunned and shook their heads: "Don't be fooled, Boss Li, if we had your sharp eyesight, why wouldn't we be able to earn a few hundred dollars a month?"

Lu Guan reminded the group of people: "Listen to the voice, don't you hear anything?"

This is his strength, Luguan's hearing is outstanding, but unfortunately this is not very useful in storage auctions, only he understands what Li Du means.

Li Du knocked on the table again, and finally, someone responded: "Oh Xuete, the table is empty, there are two empty tables!"

The others suddenly realized, and then showed envy: "Is there something good hidden inside?"

Yes, there was something hidden in the top of a table, and the silver coins that Li Du had found before were inside.

He guessed at that time that if the Führer and his party got these tables, if they were not careful and did not know enough about the prison, they would not find these silver coins.

As it turned out, he was right.

Li Du whistled to Brother Lang, and Brother Lang threw the dagger to him, and he inserted the blade into the gap on the edge of the table, gouging one edge off the table.

After opening it, there were a few banknotes, some notes and the like inside.

The treasure hunters squeezed up to have a look, and someone said, "It's more than a hundred dollars in total. What are these notes for? They are very valuable?"

Li Du shook his head and said, "It's worthless, it's an IOU, an IOU between prisoners."

He opened the top board of another table and tipped it out. A series of silver coins fell out with a 'jingling'.

Seeing this scene, the treasure hunters immediately erupted: "Silver coins!" "This is an antique!" "God, how did Boss Li find out?"

This is a question that everyone is concerned about. Li Du smiled and said, "It's very simple. I found that these two tables had been tampered with, so I guessed that there might be something good inside."

"If you have been in prison like me, then you know that the prisoners have no place to hide money and valuables. They will open the panel of the table, hollow out the wood chips inside, and put things in it."

As he said that, he continued to pat the table and said, "Every wooden table in the prison is a small treasure house. This is their safe."

Several treasure hunters hurried back, there were also tables and chairs in their warehouse, and these people went to take them apart to see what was hidden inside.

The Führer's face was ugly, and his eyes almost turned blood red.

He designed Li Du once, but in the end, it turned out to be nothing!

The treasure hunters looked at the silver coins that Li Du got curiously. There were more than ten silver coins in total. Some were blackened due to oxidation, but the overall protection was very good and there was no damage.

On the front of the silver coin is the seated statue of the Statue of Liberty. She holds a ribbon in her left hand with the word "freedom" on it, and an olive branch in her right hand.

On the back is a rebellious standing eagle with its head outstretched, its talons resting on three arrows and a laurel branch. Above the head is written the words 'United as one', and the words '420 grains' are written under the feet.

A treasure picker judged their identities and said: "This is the American trade silver coin, a set of currency designed by the Chief Engraver of the Mint Bureau William Barber."

"Is this an antique?"

"Well, it has existed in the world for at least a century and a half, and it was very popular in the 19th century." The treasure hunter explained, "Boss Li found them, which is very interesting, because they have a close relationship with the Chinese." relation."

In the middle of the 19th century, the industrial production capacity of the United States began to appear far beyond the borders. In order to find new markets for their products, business leaders in the United States began to look to the East, especially China.

This silver coin was once sold in large quantities to China for exchange with the Qing government at that time. At that time, the emperor recognized the value of this silver coin, which led to its promotion.
