Chapter 1200: 1200. River Valley Town (4/5)

Chapter 1200 1200. River Valley Town (45)

Two hands held together, the deal is done.

It was sold for 14 million, donated 4 million to public welfare organizations, and finally got 10 million US dollars. Li Du thought it was a good deal.

The two parties first signed a draft agreement, and then Bravo took people back to raise money. The Audubon Society has money, but there is no cash flow of 10 million.

Li Du invited them to have a meal together, booked a hotel for them, let them rest in Phoenix for a day, and when they meet again next time, it will be a formal deal.

Hans felt a little regretful, and said, "Li, I can really sell this book for 15 million, even if 15 million is not enough, at least 13 million!"

Li Du said: "What about paying taxes? How much to pay? This is the better result."

Hans shrugged and said, "You're right, it seems to be better if it benefits you in the end."

The taxes and fees in the United States are very high. Their income is divided into 10 million yuan, and each person has to pay at least millions of personal income taxes.

But if they make a donation, it can be tax deductible, and it will definitely be less than simply selling 14 million in the end, but not much less.

Moreover, Li Du was still thinking about himself in doing this. After all, the Audubon Society is an old organization with a history of more than a hundred years, and the hidden wealth such as contacts and resources is exaggerated.

Li Du hopes that this acquaintance will be a good relationship. The two parties may have other contacts in the future. When they contact each other again, it will be more convenient to handle affairs.

In the blink of an eye, it's New Year's Day. Treasure hunters have the habit of holding New Year's Day parties, just like many companies hold annual meetings, to celebrate the end of the year and the arrival of the New Year, and at the same time, they want to have a good start.

Phoenix, as the capital of Arizona and the richest place, does not hold the New Year's Party of Arizona's treasure hunters every year. The specific location is a small town on the northwestern border of the state.

The host of this party is the Arizona Warehouse Auction Association, so the treasure hunters will give it face, as long as they are invited, they will almost always go.

Li Du and Hans will definitely receive the invitation. They took the Iron Knight and drove towards the town with great interest.

It was the first time for Sophie to participate in such a gathering, and she asked with great anticipation: "I've heard of the River Valley Party, it will be very interesting, right? There will also be a truck race?"

Li Du said: "I haven't participated in it. We returned to China last year."

Hans said: "Yes, Sophie is right, the truck race is always the highlight of the party, and this year's championship must belong to us."

The driver shifted the gear skillfully, and said, "I don't participate in this kind of competition."

Hans patted him affectionately on the shoulder and said, "Why, buddy? Do you think the grade is a bit low. Of course, you are the real king of cars, but you don't want to show your skills to those bumpkins..."

"I don't want to." The driver interrupted him and shook his head decisively.

Hans had no choice but to wink at Li Du and said, "Hey, it seems that I don't have enough face."

The driver said: "Don't get me wrong, I swore that I will never participate in any racing activities in the future, even if Schumacher comes, I won't be moved."

He seemed to be worried that Li Du would persuade him, and it would be difficult to refuse. After all, Li Du treated him very well, and he did well after joining the team.

So, the driver added: "I swore at my son's grave that I would never touch the car, anything! Never!"

Li Du said: "Then what about watching the car show?"

The driver was taken aback, and said, "Oh, this is fine."

Li Du said: "That's good, we will be the audience when the time comes, and Xuanfeng wants to try this time."

Whirlwind Charles Bradley, an assaulter of the G9 Frontier Brigade, Brother Wolf introduced him and said that when he was serving in the army, he was best at assaulting in street battles with a submachine gun. He got this nickname because he shot in melee like a coquettish fallen leaf.

In addition, he is also good at driving. In the past, when their team performed missions, they used to drive in whirlwind.

He was short-tempered and liked to drive fast, which made his nickname even more famous.

River Valley Town, this name is very famous in the United States, several small towns will have this name, and there is also such an exclusive town in the comics, which has been filmed and broadcast on TV.

This TV is produced by CW, the United Television Network of Columbia and Warner. The first one was broadcast 20 years ago.

Because there are some weird things in Hegu Town on TV, so many people were attracted to explore in reality at that time, so that the TV station had to come forward to explain, saying that their TV was adapted from comics, and it was a surreal existence with no basis in reality.

The town of River Valley in Arizona was famous earlier than this TV series. This is an old town with a history of more than 150 years, and it is also the best residential area in this big city.

As we all know, there are many deserts and deserts around Phoenix, the climate is dry and high temperature, and there is a serious water shortage problem, which was not suitable for survival in the past.

The place where River Valley Town is located is a large oasis, and the name comes from the key to the formation of the oasis: this is a large valley of ancient rivers.

The town is located on the northwest border of Arizona. There is a small river in front of the villa that Li Du and the others leased, and this small river is related to River Valley Town.

The landscape of River Valley is not like Phoenix. It is located next to a river with many tributaries, which will eventually flow into the mighty Colorado River.

The truck drove on the road for five and a half hours, then turned to a somewhat bumpy dirt road and drove to Hegu Town without a road.

This has something to do with the foundation. Hegu Town has abundant groundwater resources and it is not easy to build roads. Coupled with some other reasons, there is no road leading to the town in the end.

This is relatively rare in the United States. The road network in the United States is very developed. Even in rural areas, there are flat and straight roads passing through.

The residents of Hegu Town once protested against the government, but their method of protest was more radical, directly carrying guns to demolish the government building.

At that time, this incident was relatively noisy, and the state and city governments were furious, and they were even less willing to spend money to build roads.

As a result, because there were no roads, there were fewer tourists traveling to Hegu Town in the early days, and the damage to the environment was small, which even led to the inconsistent development of Hegu Town and the outside world, retaining the style of more than half a century ago.

This has instead become the advantage of Hegu Town, which later attracted a large number of tourists to nostalgia and promoted the prosperity and development of the town's economy.

After the government and residents of Hegu Town realized this, they stopped insisting on road construction. They continued to repair the dirt road and added cinders. The road built became a special scenic spot just like it was during the Western Development.

Going along this cinder road, the car was a little bumpy, and the scenery along the road began to change.

When they came, there were many deserts along the way, and there were no green plants in winter, and the most they saw were cacti.

But after going deep into the cinder road, everything changed.
