Chapter 23 23. Savage Town
Uh, I wish everyone a happy 16th day of the first lunar month, and the 16th day of the 15th moon—it is said that today is the first day of school? Well, then I wish our students happiness! ****
In the evening, Hans came back drunk.
Ah Meow recovered well. After another dressing change, the plaster cast on her pelvis was removed and replaced with an orthotic frame, which allowed her to walk crookedly.
But I don't know if it's because of the pain in the injured part or because it is used to crawling. After returning home, it didn't stand up, but crawled around on the carpet, and finally lay down on the soft sofa.
Hans staggered open the door and walked in, then lay down on the sofa...
Li Du suddenly screamed: "Amiao is down there!"
Hans laughed loudly, hiccupping his wine, "Ga, I, Ga, I saw it a long time ago, do you think I, Ga, am I drunk?"
He supported his upper body with his hands and did not press Ah Miao.
Smelling the smell of alcohol on him, Ah Miao got up, with her hind legs crossed, jumped off the sofa and limped towards Li Du, sneezing in disgust as she walked.
In this way, under the stimulation of the smell of Hans wine, Ah Meow learned to walk again...
Hannah was adjusted to the day shift during this time, and she frowned when she smelled the smell after get off work, "Hans, can you drink less?"
Hans, who was snoring, got up and shouted: "I'm drinking? Xuete, I'm working! I'm in the bar asking for storage information!"
Li Du came out and nodded, "Yes, thanks to Hans for this. However, I thought you fell asleep."
Hans snorted, pointed to Hannah's handbag and said, "There's beer in it, fresh beer!"
Hannah rolled her eyes helplessly, and sure enough, there were two bags of fresh beer in her handbag, which were Chinese draft beer, which were stored in strong plastic bags in Flagstaff City.
Dinner was fried fish, fried chicken, blueberry watermelon salad and grilled pizza. Li Du and Hannah each had a big glass of draft beer, while Hans drank yogurt.
"You have to protect your stomach and liver. I don't want to see you die of alcohol poisoning one day." Hannah warned again after patting Hans' hand away from trying to steal the beer mug.
Hans lay helplessly on the table: "Life without wine sucks!"
Li Du ate the fruit salad and asked, "Have you gained anything today?"
"On February 22, there will be a township warehouse auction in Havasu Town. I think there will be some good things there. Let's go and have a look." Hans said.
"How many warehouses? Shooting will start on the 22nd, so we have to prepare."
"This time there are eleven warehouses in total, but I think it would be good to keep seven or eight warehouses by then." Hans said, "There will always be someone who pays at the last minute to renew the lease of the warehouse."
This is very common in storage auctions.
To the west and northwest of Flagstaff City is the world-famous Grand Canyon of Colorado. This name is the general name of the canyon.
Havasu Town is located next to a small canyon called Havasu Canyon, from which the town got its name.
"In comparison, Havasu Canyon is relatively hidden. There are magnificent spring waterfalls and deep blue pools between the valleys. It is very refreshing to swim there in summer."
Driving on the road, Hans introduced the destination to Li Du.
"It has a total of four waterfalls on the edge of the canyon. There are great hiking trails and Supai villages. It is a tourist attraction and thousands of hikers go there every year."
“So, going to the storage auctions there, you can often get something for hikers and travelers. If you’re lucky, you can also get some transportation tools such as bicycles or electric vehicles, because the road to Havasu is very rough. You've got to need a means of transportation."
Li Du questioned: "Then why didn't they take it away?"
"Because you will encounter a car when you leave, or some rich people are self-willed and buy a car just to get to Havasu. After arriving, it won't work and you don't need it."
Li Du said: "That's really capricious."
The wasteful ability of Americans really impressed him. These people don't know what it means to live, not only the rich, but also the poor.
After a while, Hans said again: "But you have to be prepared when you go there. The people there have a bad temper, closed and conservative. Every time I go there, I almost have to fight."
As he spoke, he lifted up his clothes, revealing a saber hanging underneath.
Li Du rolled his eyes: "Xue Te, why do you have enemies everywhere?"
With rugged mountain roads and bumpy roads, a quaint small town finally appeared in their vision.
There are about four to five hundred families in this town, most of whom rely on tourism to make a living, and there are small restaurants, small hotels, small coffee shops, and small bars everywhere.
They parked in front of a hotel called 'Papa Smith'. As soon as they parked, someone on a motorcycle rushed up and spit at them: "Yellow peril, get out of our territory!"
This is racial discrimination, Li Du looked at Hans subconsciously: "Fuck, is he scolding me?"
Hans said: "Although I get more sun exposure, I'm still a Caucasian, so it's obvious."
The motorcycle left with black smoke, and Li Du was so angry that he could only spit and curse: "This damn bastard, there are so many troublesome people in poor mountains and bad waters!"
Hans smiled and said, "So you understand why I have to fight every time I come here?"
Yes, he wronged Hans this time, and Hans had no enemies in Havasu Town.
Li Du said: "I won't fight, I will buy all their valuable warehouses!"
Hanston smiled instantly.
The warehousing company in charge of this auction is called 'West Grand Canyon Warehousing Co., Ltd'. When they arrived, eleven warehouses became ten warehouses, and they were all mini warehouses.
Warehouses in American warehousing companies have model standards, which are divided into five types: super large, large, medium, small and mini.
It was the first time Li Du saw a medium-sized warehouse with an area of hundreds of square meters. The last time it was a small warehouse with an area of only fifty square meters. This time it was even smaller, with an area of 20 square meters.
To his disappointment, the ten warehouses are very messy. There are indeed tools such as bicycles, running shoes, and jackets, but they are mainly sundries and garbage, which are of little value.
He took note of the two warehouses No. 56 and No. 75. The former contained two electric balancing vehicles and a laptop computer, and the latter contained a folded kayak and a set of fishing tackle that looked beautiful.
On the morning of the 22nd, they habitually got up early to observe their opponents.
As a result, people in the small place got up early, but it was only half past seven, and there were already more than 20 people waiting at the warehouse company.
Li Du and Hans first registered and took the number plate, and then walked inside talking and laughing. At this time, a big black man in a woolen sweater stopped them and asked, "Hey, are you coming to the auction too?"
"Yes." Li Du said with a smile.
The big man curled his lips and said, "Ching-Chong, monkeys learn how to do business like humans."
Everyone around suddenly burst into laughter, but the smile on Li Du's face slowly disappeared.
