Chapter 588 587. Big Cash Auction (1)

After supper, Li Du went to sleep.

He originally wanted to sleep for three or four hours to get up and continue working, so he specially set the alarm clock.

After waking up, it was already bright outside. He looked at his watch, it would be half past eight, and was immediately depressed: "The phone alarm didn't go off?"

Seeing him get up, Sophie smiled and said, "It was turned off by someone. Someone saw that someone was sleeping so soundly, so they decided to let him sleep for a while."

Li Du also laughed. After a good night's sleep, his mental state was indeed better.

"I can do it, but you don't have to worry about it." He went over and kissed Sophie.

Sophie said: "Remember what I said last night? Stress fracture is an injury caused by excessive fatigue. When the muscles are fatigued from excessive use, they cannot absorb the vibrations generated by repeated collisions in time and transmit the stress to the bones. , eventually leading to fractures or fractures.”

Li Du understood what she meant, and said with a smile: "How is it possible, what kind of exhaustion am I?"

Next, he continued to search for fire opal, searching piece by piece of land, which was more targeted, more efficient, and more rewarding.

After two days, he found another 40 opals on this one hectare of land. In total, he found 58 opals this time. It can't be said that the number is twice that of last time, but it is already much higher.

However, Li Du was also exhausted to death!

Over the past two days, he used the little flying insects more frequently and for more time than last time, which is why he was able to find more fire opals.

I found fifty-eight fire opals in two days, and I gained a lot. It seems that finding gems is very simple.

In fact, it is very difficult to find fire opal. There is a reason why ordinary people can't find one in a month.

The fire opals that Li Du found were almost all inside the gravel beach, and the stone layer that needed to be dug up was 20 to 30 centimeters thick, and the stone layer that needed to be dug up was more than one meter thick.

In addition, most fire opals are not exposed to the outside, and most of them are covered by mud and gravel over millions of years and tens of millions of years.

In this way, Li Du would not be able to see the real body of the gem if there were no flying insects to penetrate to check it.

Small flying insects can penetrate various physical objects at will, which is equivalent to having a see-through eye, which is very helpful for finding fire opal.

The reason why it is difficult for ordinary pickers to find fire opals is that their work efficiency is too low.

People are not allowed to bring machines into the national park, and they can only search by hand. After they find gravel or mud balls, they have to crush them to see if there are gems in them.

In this way, picking up stones one by one and crushing them one by one is too much work.

If you go half a meter deep below the gravel layer, you can search an area of ​​one or two square meters in an hour, which is considered fast, and finding an area of ​​​​twenty square meters in a day is the best.

Li Du has almost wiped out all the fire opals that are easy to find in these lands now. After him, it will be even more difficult for pickers to find fire opals...

Fortunately, the national park has a large area, covering an area of ​​several hundred square kilometers, and one square kilometer is one hundred hectares. The places Li Du can search are still limited.

He kept the fire opal harvested this time and did not sell it directly.

If things go wrong, there must be a demon. If he sells fire opals for dozens of yuan every two or three days, people will definitely be suspicious.

After packing up fifty-eight pieces of fire opal, he took the three of them to the hotel to rest.

After waking up, Hans called: "Hey bro, how was your stay in the national park?"

"There's a lot to gain, do you want to harvest together?"

Hans said: "Forget it, I was an ore picker, and I couldn't find shit after two months of work. From then on, I swore that I would never do such a stupid job again."

Li Du laughed loudly and said, "You haven't found the trick."

Hans asked back: "Did Dao and Godzilla find it? What did they find?"

Mr. Li stopped talking, and the two poor children couldn't find any shit.

Seeing that he had nothing to say, Hans burst out laughing.

Li Du asked helplessly: "Don't laugh, don't laugh, what are you calling for? Don't you just come to care about my gains?"

Hans said: "Yes, just following you nonsense, I almost forgot the subject."

Li Du: "Vac has it!"

Hans smiled and said, "Don't rush to scold me. You should praise me. The first thing is our sporting goods. I have already disposed of them all. Do you know how much I sold them for?"

Li Du pretended to be contemplative, and then asked, "One million?"

Hans didn't speak for a long time.

This time it was Li Du's turn to laugh out loud, and he said, "I'm provoking you on purpose. How about this offer? What else do you have to say? Well, I'm just kidding, one million is nonsense, but Is there always 200,000?"

After a while, Hans' lazy voice sounded again: "I'm really stimulated by you for not speaking, and stimulated by the fact that you look down on me."

Li Du was surprised: "What?"

Hans said: "I sold a whole set of signed footballs for 240,000 yuan!"

Li Du was shocked by this sentence, he said: "You are joking!"

Hans said: "Go back and look at the bills. This time we will be very desperate to pay taxes. The total is 1.66 million yuan. After all the sporting goods are sold, it is 1.66 million yuan!"

Hearing the price, Li Du gasped and said, "1.66 million? Are you sure it's US dollars and not Thai baht or Zimbabwean dollars?"

Hans said: "Come back and show you the bill. I came to you mainly for the second thing. I just got the news that there will be a cash auction in Las Vegas two days later. Do you want to try it?"

Li Du was still immersed in the terrifying price of 1.66 million sold for a bunch of balls and a few machines. After hearing what Hans said, he said casually: "If you have a chance to make a profit, go and participate."

Hans said: "Of course, of course there is an opportunity to make a profit, and every cash auction has someone to make money."

Hearing this, Li Du came to his senses and asked, "Cash auction? What do you mean, can only cash be used? Why does this kind of auction definitely have a chance to make a profit?"

Hans explained: "Yes, only cash can be used, so to participate in the auction, we have to prepare enough cash. As for why there is a chance to make a profit? Because cash auctions often have a large number of warehouses for auction, and the winners The chances of profit are greater!"

A cash auction is a large-scale warehouse auction. The reason why the transaction is made in cash is that the auctioneer wants to evade taxes.

With the rise of online banking, it is easier for the tax bureau to check accounts. Many auctions use online banking for transactions, and the tax bureau can cooperate with banks to conduct online audits.

If you trade in cash, you will have the opportunity to make false accounts, and you can evade taxes. Large-scale storage auctions often bring in huge funds, and tax evasion can save you a lot of money.
