Li Du did not care about what Hans said. This guy was in love every day. If he met many beautiful women in one day, he would fall in love many times.
According to his estimation, with Hans's early sexual awakening, he might have fallen in love more times than he had seen a girl.
After this little episode, they entered Riverdale. A small, quaint building appeared in front of them.
These small buildings were all made of wood. There were people painting and maintaining them. In winter, the sun was bright and there was no rain. The local temperature was not low, so it was a good time to maintain the buildings.
There were many cars parked in the town, but few trucks. This was because the road conditions in the town were not good. If there were too many trucks, it would easily damage the roads. Therefore, except for those who were participating in the truck race, most people would travel light.
Because of the large number of participants, the warehouse auction association did not provide accommodation. Everyone had to find their own accommodation.
Hans was experienced. He found a house in advance and rented the second floor of the landlord's house. There was no other way. They had a lot of people and needed a lot of rooms.
Riverdale used to be focused on agriculture, but now it was focused on tourism. There were a lot of hotels in the town, but there were more treasure hunters coming to the big party. Every year at this time of the year, the hotels would be full.
In this case, some houses would be cleaned up and offered for rent. The owners could take the opportunity to earn some money.
The house Hans rented was in the middle of the town. It was a prime location. They had to fork out 600 dollars a day.
The house was old but sturdy enough. The main body was in the traditional western style: rough, tall, and simple.
In addition, the owner of the house was more interested in life. He built a small garden in the front and back of the house. The walls were painted with colorful paint, and there were some decorations on the doors and windows. It was much more beautiful than the surrounding old houses.
Hans jumped out of the car before it came to a complete stop.
The owner, who was cleaning at the door, saw their truck and straightened up to wash his hands. He said enthusiastically, "Are you treasure hunters from Phoenix? Welcome, welcome. "
Hans did not answer the question. He asked, "Mr. Jorris? Hello, I'm Hans Fox. I want to ask you something. There's a shepherd girl in your town. She's about 1.7 meters tall, has blond hair, and likes to laugh. She looks very sunny … "
The owner, Jorris, looked puzzled. He said, "There are many girls like that in our town."
"She has a dog named Hans," Sophie said, getting to the point.
Hans hurriedly nodded his head. "Yes, yes, yes. I must have forgotten about this. She has a dog named Hans."
Joris laughed and said, "I know who you are asking about, Barbara Bryan. She has a naughty Castro …"
"Yes, yes, that's her," Hans murmured. "Barbara Blaine, all right, Barbara Blaine."
Joris was about forty years old, cheerful, and liked to joke around.
Seeing that Hans kept repeating the name of the shepherdess, he smiled and said, "It seems that a young man fell in love at first sight? But if his name is Hans, then it's really fate. Barbara likes Hans very much. Of course, I'm talking about that Castro. "
Hans laughed and said, "She will like me more in the future. You guessed right, man, I seem to have fallen in love at first sight."
Li Du took the suitcase from the car, patted Hans on the shoulder and said, "You'd better control your feelings. Don't cause trouble here. You said that the people of Riverdale are conservative."
They had brought pets with them. Pets could be brought into the house, but if they caused damage, they would have to pay multiple times the compensation. Because this was an old house, it was more difficult to repair.
Joris took them in and assigned them rooms. Then the group planned to walk around the town.
Half of the town's restaurants and pubs had been taken over by the Warehouse Auction Association. The association had hired singers to stay there. Some of them were country singers, some were jazz performers, some were hip-hop rappers, and some were explosive DJ dance music.
In short, the party began as soon as the treasure hunters entered the town.
When Li Du appeared, the treasure hunters immediately crowded around him and greeted him warmly.
"Hey, Big Li, happy New Year."
"Big Li, are you ready to rob Macy's? Give us a ride when the time comes. "
"Let's have a drink, Big Li. A friend of mine went to China and brought me Maotai. He said it's your national wine, so I brought it for you to try."
Li Du responded and kept high-fiving people. Once again, he was treated like a star.
The treasure hunters deliberately flattered him and said nice things, so he was in a good mood. However, at this time, he saw two acquaintances and his mood was not so good.
The Anthonys were also at the party.
When Li Du noticed them, the two of them were staring at him. There were a few treasure hunters beside them, and they seemed to be quite powerful. They stood among the treasure hunters with their heads held high and their eyes filled with disdain. They seemed to stand out from the crowd of treasure hunters.
When their eyes met, Conrad Anthony's face showed an expression of undisguised hatred.
The matter had been investigated. It was already clear that Li Du had cheated him with a bunch of empty boxes. He hated Li Du.
Soon, Li Du's attention was diverted from them. A big, middle-aged white man wearing a cowboy hat came up to him, with a fat girl beside him.
The fat girl was Valerie Walker, the secretary of the Association of Treasure Hunters. The middle-aged white man was Bill Adrian, the president of the Association of Storage Treasure Hunters in Arizona.
When Bill saw Li Du, he took the initiative to greet him. He shook hands with him with his right hand and patted his arm with his left. He looked very enthusiastic. "Hey, Big Li, happy New Year."
"Happy New Year, Big Bill," Li Du responded politely.
They did not interact much, but sometimes he and Hans would meet him at the association and they would chat a little.
Bill said enthusiastically, "You made a good deal for the New Year. I heard you wrote a book? It sold for a good price, didn't it? "
There was nothing to hide. Li Du said frankly, "'Birds of America,' Mr. Audubon's masterpiece. I was lucky enough to get it, but the deal hasn't been successful yet."
"The deal has been signed, which means it's a success," Bill said with a smile. "Valerie, Big Li's income this time is tens of millions. So, what's his level?"
Valerie smiled cutely and said, "Five million-dollar earnings. Arizona will have two more Million Dollar Club tycoons."
Bill said, "Well, we just happened to meet this time. There's no need for Big Li and Big Fox to make a trip. Hurry up and help them with the club upgrade, okay?"
"No problem."
