Chapter 1119 1118. Domination of Arizona (25)
Standing in front of the window, Li Du enjoyed a beautiful view of the sunrise.
At sunrise, the river flowers are more red than fire, and in spring, the river water is as green as blue.
Bai Juyi's "Recalling Jiangnan" is actually similar to the Atlantic Ocean, which is hundreds of thousands of miles away from the south of the Yangtze River.
Li Du's trip in New York was over. If it wasn't for Callestan's invitation, he would have rushed back to Phoenix overnight. His parents and family were all there, and he didn't want to be separated for a moment.
The equity is temporarily out of reach. He was able to force Carlestan before, but now he is a bit unable to do so.
On the return flight, Li Du was thinking, maybe someone like Carlestan can be regarded as an opponent. You clearly know that you should not get close to him, and he wants to take advantage of you, but there is nothing you can do about it.
Back in Phoenix, the engagement party is almost ready.
After the number of guests was determined, Hans booked a room at the Hilton Hotel. Regardless of nobles like Potter and Steve, or treasure hunters from Flagstaff City, they all went to live in five-star hotels after they came.
Li Du had a detailed understanding of the party process. Hans and Lu Guan organized it without any problem, and they did a great job.
After talking about the party, Hans closed the folder and said, "Hey, brother, your mood doesn't seem right, I think you seem to have something on your mind."
Lu Guan shrugged and said, "If I'm going to get engaged soon, I'll have a lot of things on my mind, but boss, everything will go well, don't think too much about it."
Li Du smiled and said: "You guys misunderstood, I'm not worrying about something, I'm thinking about something else. Well, I was thinking, I don't have a house of my own yet, do you understand what I mean?"
"Then don't get engaged?" Hans asked.
Li Du kicked his chair and said angrily, "Nonsense, what I mean is, I want to buy a house of my own."
Although he is not a U.S. citizen, he can still buy a house in the U.S., which has nothing to do with household registration, or even a green card.
I didn’t buy it before, firstly because Li Du was not interested, and secondly because he didn’t think it was necessary, and there was an extra expense. After buying a house in the United States, you have to pay property tax every year.
Even though Li Du was quite rich before, according to his thinking, it’s fine not to buy a house in the United States, but to buy a luxury house. The property tax of a luxury house is not low, and there was pressure on him before.
Now? That's it.
This time he was stimulated by Callestan's mansion, and he made up his mind to buy a house. Although renting a house is quite comfortable, it is not his own territory after all.
Moreover, there are other reasons why he doesn't want to live here now. One is that since he realized that his living here was the result of Cole's calculations, he has no good impression of this villa.
The second is that the previous earthquake still caused some damage to the villa, such as cracked walls, plumbing problems, and decoration loopholes. Now it is not so comfortable to live in.
Hearing that Li Du was going to buy a house, Lu Guan cheered up: "Is it a luxury house?"
Li Du nodded: "Yes, an absolute mansion, if you have a castle, buy a castle!"
"Arizona has a fart castle." Hans said disdainfully.
Li Du looked at him and said slowly: "Who said you can buy it in Arizona?"
Hans asked in surprise, "What do you mean?"
"Los Angeles! I'm going to the City of Angels!"
Yes, Li Du wants to go to Los Angeles to buy a house. There is no need for him to stay in Arizona, and there is no need to stay in Phoenix, a "small place".
Now that he has figured it out, his main business in the future will definitely not be warehouse auctions, so there is no need to continue to focus on this industry.
In his mind, he should go to a big city like Los Angeles, not only to make money there, but also to develop contacts there.
"Go to Los Angeles." Hans suddenly hesitated.
Li Du wondered: "That's right, we will develop in Los Angeles in the future, don't you think it's great? You should like Los Angeles, right? It's full of lights and nightlife."
Hans shook his head: "No, I hate that kind of life, I've changed my ways now."
If Li Du believed it, he would be bewitched.
Hans said: "We came to Phoenix because we are already the king of treasure hunting in Flagstaff City. We should develop in a wider space."
"Now, we haven't become the king of treasure hunting in Arizona. I mean, we go to California now and start a cross-state war. Isn't it a big step?"
Li Du said indifferently: "The King of Picking Treasures? What is this?"
Hans looked at him seriously and said, "This is an ideal. Didn't you have such an idea before? Become the king of treasure hunting in Arizona and become a legend."
Li Du stared at him and said, "Are you kidding me?"
To be honest, he really had such an idea, but now he has made a lot of money from the gem industry, and he doesn't care about the little money from storage auctions.
Hans nodded seriously: "This is my dream."
Li Du felt that this dream was a bit nonsensical. Shouldn't their dream be to make money?
But soon he realized that he and Hans were on different paths now.
He has a diamond mine and an island that is about to be acquired. There are rich opal deposits on the island, but Hans does not. Hans can get dividends from the mine, but he does not know the existence of this mine.
For him, a storage auction that may earn hundreds of thousands or millions is still his main business.
But for Li Du, it was a drizzle.
Hans also mentioned this very quickly, he said: "Li, you are going too fast now, we started from Flagstaff City, came to Phoenix, and you are going to Los Angeles soon, you have such confidence, but I don't .”
Li Du nodded and said, "I probably understand what you mean, but you know what kind of guy I am. If I have something, you have it."
Hans said, "I believe in you, but I'm more, more, more afraid."
The last word came out, and he sighed.
“The gap between us seems to be getting bigger and bigger,” he said. “Los Angeles is another level of the auction world. I stumbled there, I was afraid of it, but you are not afraid of anywhere. It used to be the opposite.”
It is not the past now, it was indeed the opposite in the past, wherever he went to participate in the auction, Li Du would carefully make preparations first, worrying about troubles and accidents.
But now, Li Du is not afraid of anything. Instead, he is eager to go to a wider world, to see more things, and to make more and more useful network resources.
Thinking of the past, Li Du's voice softened, and he said, "I'm going to Los Angeles to buy a house, a wedding house. But, let's continue to hang out in Phoenix, and we'll be the king of treasure hunting in Arizona first."
Hans laughed happily and said, "Are you very confident?"
Li Du snorted and said, "Full firepower, I'll let you see how powerful I am! Get ready, I hope you won't be afraid when the time comes!"
