Chapter 334 333. Tang Dynasty Changsheng Library (1)

The deal is done, and Hans and Chicano shake hands and bid farewell.

After leaving the building, Li Du said, "Who did you sell the umbrella to? Has the price been negotiated?"

The reason why he asked this was because he felt that this was not like Hans' style.

Indeed, Treasure Pickers attach great importance to credibility, and if the deal is negotiated, then they can no longer go back on their promises.

However, the deal on the umbrella should not be completed. Under such circumstances, based on Li Du's understanding of Hans, he will choose the best buyer and will definitely listen to Chicano's offer.

Hearing Li Du's inquiry, Hans said, "I found a seller, but the price hasn't been negotiated yet."

Li Du said strangely: "Then why don't you listen to Chicano's offer?"

Hans pointed to his head and said, "Brother, brains are good things..."

"Say something quickly!"

Hans said: "Okay, okay, like the Flying Goddess, there is a label on the umbrella, but the label is on the umbrella cloth and cannot be modified. If he sees the label, he will check that the umbrella and the car label cannot be matched. What would you think?"

"Also, this guy doesn't really want to buy an umbrella. He also wants to see our character, so I showed him the image of a businessman who talks about rules and values ​​integrity. He is satisfied, and so are we. That's it, the deal is done."

Li Du nodded. Indeed, just now Chicano only asked about the umbrella once, and he didn't ask again after Hans refused.

If Chicano was really interested in umbrellas, he wouldn't give up so easily.

Undoubtedly, although he has the help of Xiao Fei Chong, he still has a lot to learn in the warehouse auction industry, Li Du said with emotion.

After leaving the building, they first went to a hotel to rest, and the deal on umbrellas was at night.

After dinner in the evening, Hans took them into a bustling street by bus.

"This is Broadway, buddy. I didn't see it last time. You can take a good look this time."

Li Du leaned over the car window and asked, "Where are we going?"

"Go to your hometown." Hans said.

Li Du immediately realized: "Los Angeles Chinatown?"

"yeah."

It takes less than one kilometer to go north, and Chinatown is there.

Chinatown in Los Angeles is connected to the old urban area and is one of the largest gathering places of Chinese on the west coast of the United States. A large number of immigrants from China live nearby.

But now, Chinatown is no longer exclusive to the Chinese. Immigrants from various Asian countries like to live here. Chinatown has gradually become a kind of recognition and respect for Asian culture among the American people.

Since the second half of the 20th century, the number of Chinese immigrants in Los Angeles has increased dramatically. Chinatown has been divided into three parts, and a total of three large Chinese districts have emerged.

Among them, the one they are going to is the oldest one, and the Chinese who live there are mainly immigrants from the Guangfu area.

The other two are called "Little Taipei", which is mainly composed of Taiwanese Chinese, and the other is New Chinatown, which is mainly composed of new immigrants who came to Los Angeles in the 21st century.

This Chinatown adopts the old-fashioned Chinese architectural culture style, with an antique archway at the gate, red lanterns all over the street, and shop signs written in Chinese characters.

After getting off the bus, Hans said to Da Ao, "Dude, put on your sunglasses and hang out the bayonet, at least revealing the handle."

Da Ao did as he was told, and then a menacing man appeared behind them.

Li Du felt bewildered and asked, "Why?"

Hans said: "The law and order here is not very good, let Da Ao keep these bastards in check."

Li Du questioned: "We Chinese are relatively mild-tempered, so will the law and order in the gathering place be bad?"

Hans said: "Anyway, I read the news. The violent crime rate in Los Angeles has increased by 21% compared with last year. Among them, the violent crime rate and property crime rate in the urban area and Chinatown area have increased by as much as 67% compared with the same period."

As they walked in, Li Du understood why Hans took Da Ao with him.

The law and order in Chinatown is indeed not good. Before nightfall, many young people with dark faces began to shuttle in the streets and alleys.

However, he saw that these people were not Chinese, but Vietnamese, Indonesian, Korean and Japanese.

When he raised the question, Hans nodded and said, "Yes, the chaos here has little to do with the Chinese, but it can also be said to have a lot to do with it."

"Why?"

"Because the Chinese are hard-working and frugal, and you have a gentle temper, some bastards like to bully you. They keep invading Chinatown and creating these chaos."

Although they are all of Asian yellow race, it is easy to distinguish Chinese, Vietnamese, Indonesians, Burmese, etc. from their appearance.

When a few smoking youths saw Li Du in high-end clothes, they walked towards him involuntarily, and when they saw Da Ao, who was like a gorilla behind him, they subconsciously stopped.

It was the first time for Da Ao to come to Chinatown in Los Angeles. He realized that he had a great responsibility, so he exposed more of the bayonet, and the entire handle of the bayonet was exposed.

Li Du sighed: "What kind of trading partner did you find? Why do you have to trade at night?"

Hans said: "The other party asked for it, so I brought Da Ao. The transaction may not go well tonight. The other party is an explorer, and they are all desperadoes."

While talking, he compared the map and searched, and finally found a shop named 'Tang Chao Changsheng Store'.

Seeing the name of this shop, Li Du couldn't help laughing.

Hans asked, "What's the matter?"

Li Du pointed to the plaque and said, "Do you know what is written on it..."

"Of course I don't know, how can I know Chinese characters." Hans said angrily.

Li Du glared at him and said, "I want to explain to you, I just asked a casual question."

Hans spread his hands and said, "Then explain quickly."

Li Du said: "It says 'Tang Dynasty Changshengku'. This should be a pawnshop. Changshengku is a name of a pawnshop. It originated from the Song Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, it was generally called 'Zheku'."

Hans was confused: "Okay, what's the joke?"

Li Du said helplessly: "It's just that the name is a bit messy."

"That's right, the name is messed up, mother Xipi, old Tang blames you for pretending to be a cultural person." A rough voice rang out.

As the sound sounded, a strong middle-aged man walked out of the room.

The middle-aged man is about forty years old, with a short elegant beard, rough skin, sharp eyes, walking like a dragon and a tiger, giving the first impression of a tough guy.

He glanced at the three of them, his eyes didn't change when he saw Da Ao, but he frowned when he saw the bayonet, and said, "Butcher? Interesting."

Li Du didn't want to cause misunderstandings. This middle-aged man gave him a strong feeling.

So he said quickly: "Hello, we are here for business, selling an umbrella."
