Chapter 361 360. The True Value of the Dodo (3)
There are more treasure hunters here, and another function of the camp came out, which is to become a place for news exchange.
At noon on September 3rd, someone suddenly said to Hans, "Father and son Gou Er have come out of the rivers and lakes again."
Hans said: "Really? I haven't seen them for a while, I thought these two guys had gone to other places."
"Yes, they went out of town, and it is said that they offended the people at the Comanche Casino."
"They were captured by the Indians, and now Rick and his son are working for them. It seems that they owe them a lot of money and work to pay off their debts."
"How to work? Haha, sell your ass or serve those fat girls in the casino?"
"Of course it's a storage auction. They continue to participate in the storage auction, but all the money they make goes to the Indians. In other words, these two poor guys have become wage earners."
Li Du knew the inside story, and he didn't sympathize with the two of them. Rick and his son were typical representatives of death.
If it weren't for the use of small flying insects to kill Marin and others in the casino, he would be the wage earner now.
He interjected, "How did Rick and the others do?"
"Very good, the Indians supported them, and these two bastards became more domineering. By the way, Li, they also let out a tone, saying that they will make you look good." Someone said.
Hans took off his sunglasses and looked at the treasure hunter, and said, "Let them come, I'll see how we can make us look good, has he become a beautician?"
"Haha." Several treasure hunters laughed.
Li Du waved his hand and said, "Stop joking, Boss Fu, let's go and have a look at some good warehouses. We haven't opened for several days."
Hans said helplessly, "Didn't you just get a warehouse in Shuiping Town? Look, that's where the chair under you was obtained."
Li Du said lazily: "What I want is a valuable warehouse, with great value."
Hans took a breath and said, "Okay, whoever has good warehouse information, come on guys, whoever tells me, I will give him a reward."
"What reward?" Someone immediately asked.
Hans stepped on the water in the ditch with his foot, and said, "How about the golden resting place in our camp, isn't this a good reward?"
"Hush!" There was a contemptuous hiss.
However, these treasure hunters did know some news more or less. Someone said: "I can tell you some news, Boss Fu, Holbrook's vendetta warehouse, there are good things there."
"What good stuff?" Li Du asked with interest.
He had just finished asking when the phone rang, and an unfamiliar number called.
In this way, he couldn't listen to the answer, so he answered the phone and said, "Hello, I'm Li, what can I do?"
"Hello, hello, Du-Li? Is that Mr. Li? Hello, hello." A warm voice rang out from the phone, "I'm Mr. Steel Steve, nice to meet you, we used to be on face-book often Communication is coming."
Li Du was puzzled, and asked, "Sorry, I don't have any impression, are you?"
"My nickname on Facebook is Mr. Iron Steve. Maybe it's been a while, so you don't have a deep impression on me. In fact, I often send you messages about the dodo specimen."
Li Du suddenly realized that it was this person.
He left the skeleton specimen of the dodo bird on face-book, and then two people sent him a message, one was Dr. Klinken, and the other was this Mr. Steel Steve.
After learning about the value of the dodo specimen from Dr. Klinken, he withdrew the photo of the specimen because he was worried that someone who cared would see him and make trouble for him.
This Mr. Steel Steve also left him a message at the beginning, but he chose the more authoritative Dr. Klinken to contact, and did not reply to Mr. Steel Steve.
Later, when he learned that the specimen was worth one million but could only be sold for one hundred thousand, Li Du stopped paying attention to this matter. Dr. Klinken called him several times, but he dealt with it and hung up.
In Li Du's opinion, he is not short of 100,000 yuan now, and this kind of specimen is very rare, so he might as well keep it for himself.
After receiving a call from Mr. Steel Steve, he said with some embarrassment: "I know who you are, you are calling because of the dodo specimen, right?"
The person on the opposite side quickly said: "Yes, yes, yes, I like collecting bird specimens. In fact, I am a bird specimen collector. I am very interested in your specimens."
Li Du declined, "Thank you for your appreciation, but I don't intend to sell it."
Mr. Steel Steve asked: "Are you also very interested in collecting bird specimens? Or is there someone else offering you an offer?"
Li Du said: "In fact, I don't like collecting bird specimens very much, but I am not short of money. If the dodo specimens can't be sold at a good price, I'm not interested in selling them."
Mr. Steel Steve was taken aback for a moment, and then asked: "Anyone have quoted a price? May I ask how much they are willing to give?"
There is nothing to hide, Li Du said: "Professor George Kraken from the Metropolitan Museum of Poultry in New York told me that this specimen is worth millions, but he can only give 100,000 yuan..."
"This bastard!" Mr. Steel Steve couldn't help but swear.
Li Du asked, "What's wrong?"
Mr. Steel Steve said, "You didn't trade George Kraken, did you?"
"right."
"Then you're smart, buddy, you were almost cheated by him, this guy is very good at cheating people." Mr. Steel Steve said a little annoyed.
Li Du questioned, "What do you mean?"
Mr. Steel Steve said: "Your specimen is indeed worth millions, and it can be sold for millions, not one hundred thousand. George Kraken is a greedy bastard, he likes to use his identity to deceive some ignorant people , obviously, you were tricked by him."
After hearing what he said, Li Du lifted his spirits and said, "You mean, you are willing to buy this specimen at a price of one million?"
Mr. Steel Steve said: "Of course, but there is a premise. The actual condition of this specimen is the same as that shown in your photo. I am willing to pay one million!"
Without further ado, Li Du said, "Give me the address, and I will send it to you. I can assure you that the real specimen is even better than the one shown in the photo!"
He didn't bother to sell 100,000 yuan, but 1 million yuan would be different, this is 1 million dollars!
This was a pleasant surprise. He was already very satisfied when he exchanged a few things for a specimen worth 100,000 yuan from the Amish.
As a result, I suddenly learned that this specimen was not worth one hundred thousand, but one million.
Li Du wondered if he was dreaming. Although he was worth tens of millions, a million dollars was still not a small amount, and it was still enough to make him excited.
