Chapter 1470: 1470. Big Kill (4/5)

Chapter 1470

The California customs warehouse auction is scheduled to start in mid-September. From the end of August to mid-September, there is no warehouse auction that Li Du is interested in. However, there are frequent real estate auctions in Los Angeles during this period.

Last time, Hans made a surprise attack on Logan's side, and Li Du got a few houses. After that, this trick will not work well, and Logan will be wary of all strangers.

Another auction on the first Friday in September.

The auction was held in downtown Los Angeles. Li Du, Hans, Sophie, and Barbara went together. Two men participated in the auction, and two women went shopping together.

Barbara had hardly left River Valley before, never left Arizona, and this was the first time she saw a bustling city like Los Angeles.

She was like a country girl who had just come to town, new to everything and shocked by everything.

Sophie took her to Montana Avenue before, which is the most high-end shopping pedestrian street in Santa Monica. At that time, Barbara exclaimed repeatedly when she saw the prices of the things inside.

When they reached Melrose Avenue in West Hollywood, Barbara could hardly cry out, and could only say weakly: "God, the cake you saw earlier costs one hundred and twenty yuan, and one shoe here costs—God!" 8,000 yuan?! The price of things in this shopping mall can be worth the whole town!"

The shopping guide girls who accompanied them smiled and said nothing. They have high professionalism and will not laugh at any customers, but if they have no sales value, they will not be very enthusiastic.

The eyes of these people have been tempered and tempered, and they can roughly judge the purchasing power of the other party at a glance.

A girl like Barbara reveals an almost shabby simplicity all over her body. Even if she doesn't open her mouth, the shopping guide can guess that she won't shop in the store, and she may just come to open her eyes.

She liked the pair of high heels she saw, which would never come across in Riverdale, but the price put her off.

Sophie noticed her liking and said, "It matches you very well, buy it."

Barbara shook her head again and again: "No, I don't want to."

Sophie chuckled and said, "Don't worry about the price. You may not know your fiancé's worth, but he can support you to wear a pair of these shoes every day until you are a hundred years old."

The shopping guide next to her smiled and said she was a mother in her heart. She had seen many girls who could pretend to be comparable, but it was rare to see such a temperamental girl.

Barbara casually found an excuse: "No, look at this shoe, isn't it made of lambskin?"

The shopping guide nodded and said: "Yes, ma'am, this is made of lambskin collected from an exclusive ranch in the South Island of New Zealand. It has gone through 18 processes and is made by French fashion master Jean Reddy."

Barbara said: "It's not just lambskin anywhere, it's not suitable for shoe soles, because it's too soft and easily damaged by wear and tear."

The shopping guide was taken aback, and said, "Worn and damaged? Why worn and damaged? These shoes are for the red carpet, and the red carpet will not wear the soles."

Barbara's eyes widened: "Only for walking on the red carpet? Are you spending so much money on a pair of shoes just to walk on the red carpet? But how many times will a person walk on the red carpet in a lifetime?"

She turned to look at Sophie again: "When is the red carpet?"

Sophie took out the palladium card Li Du gave her and handed it to the shopping guide lady, smiling, "When you get married, when I get married."

The shopping guide lady was a little confused for a while, she had seen the palladium card many times, but she didn't expect this ordinary girl to be able to take out one casually.

Soon she realized that she was wrong just now, a girl with such temperament really can't pretend, she is really awesome.

Li Du looked at the time, tapped his watch and said, "Let's go to the auction first, and let them stroll here."

Hans went over and rubbed Barbara's head, and said with a smile: "Tell Sophie what you like. Don't be polite, otherwise Sophie will be angry. She hates girls who are not real enough."

Barbara smiled and said, "I'm very real. I'm not someone from movies, TV series or books. I just stand here."

It seemed like she was joking, but Li Du knew she was serious.

Now he knew that Barbara's birth was not smooth, and her brain was stunted due to a temporary lack of oxygen. She was not stupid or had a low IQ, but she looked like a girl in many ways.

The reason why the Barbara family was so angry after seeing Hans with her was that Hans tricked the girl into getting her.

Now, Hans has always shown extreme dedication, so Barbara's family accepted him and planned to hold a wedding for the two.

After walking out of the store, Li Du took a taxi and drove to the Housing and Urban Development Bureau of Los Angeles.

He asked Hans, "When are you going to get married?"

Hans asked back, "What about you?"

Li Du said: "No accidents, it will be next year."

Hans laughed loudly: "Then I will also hold a wedding next year, how about holding a wedding together? The more people there are, the more lively it will be."

Li Du nodded and said, "Of course there is no problem."

At the gate of the Housing and Urban Development Bureau, Dickens and his party were already waiting here.

Li Du saw them greeted and said: "Come on guys, there are 21 houses in total this time, I hope we can gain something today, this is my summary of the house information, you can discuss how to do it yourself distribute."

"Wow, there are enough houses." Ollie laughed.

Dickens patted his chest and said, "I have prepared enough money. The two houses just happened to be sold. Today, I'm going to make a killing!"

Someone was waiting to fight with them. Logan rarely came to the lobby early, and many picky tenants in Los Angeles stood beside him, like a wolf king leading a pack of wolves.

Logan looked at the phone leisurely, and the renters around him stared at Li Du and his party as if they were facing class enemies, all in the posture of "cleaning you up".

When the auction started, the first house was quite valuable. The starting price was only 140,000 yuan, but Li Du estimated that it could sell for 240,000 yuan.

Ollie bid: "150,000!"

Someone from Logan's side bid with him, raised his hand and said, "One hundred and fifty-one thousand yuan!"

Some pickers, who stayed out of the way, were also interested in the house, and they also kept up with the offer.

There are also ordinary house buyers, some of them came for this house, and continued to bid: "160,000 yuan!"

These ordinary house buyers were unfamiliar faces, and Logan immediately chased after the quotation: "161,000 yuan!"

Clearly, they would rather kill by mistake than let them go.

Oli actively bid. After more than ten rounds of competition, the price reached 200,000 yuan. At this time, ordinary home buyers gave up the competition. Some people came here specifically for this house, and turned away when they couldn't buy it.

200,000 was within Oli's acceptance range, and he quoted again: "210,000!"

As soon as he raised the price significantly, the tenants around Logan also followed up the price significantly: "220,000!"

This way the profit margin is not big, Ollie gritted his teeth and said, "230,000!"

The opponent challenged again: "240,000!"
