Chapter 1421 1421. Hiring People (55)
At this time, Li Du's identity gave him great convenience.
He is the number two shareholder of the Harry Winston Group. The Harry Winston Group has professional sales channels for jewelry and luxury goods. Although gold treasures are not jewelry, they are also luxury goods.
The people who buy luxury jewelry and luxury collections are often the same group of people. Many of the gold that Li Du found are works of art, not just gold.
Through the contacts of the Harry-Winston Group, the question of the origin of the gold was confirmed. Li Du contacted the father-in-law, Martin, who is an expert in history, and he can provide him with evidence in this regard.
In addition, Li Du also told the old man about the discovery of the Wannian rock paintings in the Blue Ridge, which made the old man very excited, and contacted a group of experts in American archeology and history, and came to Li Du's platform together.
After receiving the coordinates given by Li Du, Steve flew to the Blue Ridge. He is now inspecting the petroglyphs in the cave. After his inspection is over, Li Du can announce them to the public.
Now, the old man and his big cow partners happened to be working for Li Du to appraise a series of gold products, and then he put them on the shelves through the contacts of the Hai Rui-Winston Group.
The most treasures are gold ingots. Because the smelting technology is relatively primitive, the gold ingots of the Kehaina tribe contain impurities and need to be refined again.
Li Du contacted a precious metal appraisal expert named Francis through his father-in-law, and he became a guest consultant of Li Du's company, responsible for the pricing of precious metals.
In addition to these gold ingots, the Tawixi tribe still had some gold waiting for Li Du to take over, so he needed an expert to help him provide professional advice.
There are also snake venom and poisonous snake serum, these things are also very valuable, Li Du also needs professional staff to give advice, so he wanted to find an expert in biopharmaceuticals or herpetology.
Coincidentally, when the Magic Hand learned that he came to live in Los Angeles, he held a special party for him. At the party, Li Du talked about his needs, and the Magic Hand introduced someone to him.
This man is not an expert in biopharmaceuticals and herpetology. He is a snake breeder named Griffin Wiesler. He makes money by catching and raising snakes. He is very good at snake venom and snake serum.
The magician gave Li Du Griffin's contact information and address, so after the party, Li Du went to visit the snake breeder accompanied by Lu Guan and Brother Lang.
Griffin lives in Pasadena, which, like Santa Monica, is a moderately sized satellite city in the greater Los Angeles area, but larger and more populous than Santa Monica.
It is located in the northern area of Greater Los Angeles, 15 kilometers away from the center of Old Los Angeles. There are highways and subways to connect it with the city center and other communities, and it is extremely convenient to access.
Li Du has known this place for a long time. He is more familiar with Pasadena than Santa Monica, because the protagonists in his favorite American drama "The Big Bang Theory" live in Pasadena.
In Los Angeles, he began to enjoy the convenience of a modern city. The subway extends in all directions, which is more comfortable than driving. People are a little tired of staying in the car all day, and taking the subway is a different experience.
Naturally, the snake farm cannot stay in the city center. Griffin’s snake farm is located in the northwest of Pasadena, where there are many farms and farms.
After exiting the subway exit, Li Du took another taxi and the journey went smoothly.
Griffin's snake farm is unusual, like a bunker, with two layers of walls on the outside, presumably for fear of poisonous snakes escaping, so it is heavily guarded.
Li Du and others got out of the car at the door, and someone came over to drive them away immediately: "Hey, don't stop here, leave quickly, it's dangerous here."
Lu Guan went up to negotiate and said: "Thank you for reminding me, man, we are here specially, we want to find Mr. Griffin-Wessler, can you help me get in touch?"
The Mexican who was acting as a security guard at the door looked at them suspiciously and asked, "Why are you looking for Griffin?"
Li Du said: "I want to see if we can cooperate with him. We are here to give him money. Of course, the premise is that he is willing to accept our cooperation."
The Mexican asked them to wait outside the door, and then went in for a while. When they came out again, a handsome middle-aged man with a somewhat mulatto image walked in front and asked, "I'm Griffin Weissler, who wants to follow?" I cooperate?"
Li Du stretched out his hand to him and said, "Hi, I'm Du-Li..."
Griffin patted his hand and said: "Okay, come with me, be careful, since you are looking for me to cooperate, you should know what I raise here."
He led a few people into the first fence, and after walking for a while, a building appeared, which was Griffin's office.
At the door of the building, a young man was playing with some snake eggs in the sun, and there was a small cage next to it, in which lived more than a dozen young snakes, which should be young snakes that had just hatched.
Seeing everyone, the young man raised his head and asked, "Griffin, are these the customers who want to buy snakes? Asians? Are they reliable?"
Griffin said casually: "Who knows, when it comes to business, you have to talk. Let me talk to them."
Listening to the conversation between the two, Li Du interrupted: "Oh, sorry, you may have misunderstood, we are not here to buy snakes..."
"Then you are here to buy snake venom?" Griffin became vigilant, "I don't sell this stuff casually, do you have a purchase permit?"
The young man next to him tilted his head to look at them, and said, "Aren't you here to buy snakes? You look like a Chinese. You Chinese like to eat snakes. Why don't you buy our snakes and eat them?"
Li Du said: "I am indeed Chinese, but there are not many compatriots who like to eat snakes..."
"Why not many?" The young man pouted, "Our snakes were bought by you Chinese, God, you really can eat anything, dog meat, snake meat, even animal offal!"
Griffin waved his hand and said, "Hey, Singler, shut up and stop arguing with clients!"
After finishing speaking, he looked at Li Du listlessly and said, "Well, buddy, you didn't come to buy snakes, so what are you here for?"
Li Du took out two small bottles of serum and two small bottles of snake venom from the suitcase, and said, "I'm here..."
He had just opened his mouth when the young man immediately interrupted him, and said with a smile: "Ha, Griffin, this is my colleague. You are here to sell serum and snake venom? If you are doing this, then you are looking for the wrong person. And , I bet, these things in your hand are snake breeding things? To be honest, this is rubbish!"
The attitude of the other party was very problematic. Li Du felt a little dissatisfied, so he frowned and said, "Can you let me finish my sentence first? In addition, I have to tell you that the things in my hands are all from wild snakes, but they are produced here. The snake venom comes from farmed snakes, right?"
