Li Du came to Los Angeles this time to explore. He had not yet decided which city to stay in.
In addition, he had another task in Los Angeles, which was to pick up people, or rather, the bodyguards had this task. Their families had to fly to the United States.
Before going to Riverdale to rescue Hans, Li Du had promised that after this matter was settled, everyone would go on vacation.
Li Du had to fulfill his promise. He had wanted to give the bodyguards a holiday and let them go home to reunite with their families.
However, Vampire mentioned that he would not go home. His wife and children had never been to the United States and were worried about his working environment. This time, he asked his wife and children to come over and asked if Li Du could reimburse them for the round-trip travel expenses.
The others had the same idea and wanted their families to travel abroad.
So Li Du decided to let them all come to the United States. Not only would he reimburse them for their travel expenses, but he would also take care of their food, accommodation, and entertainment.
The bodyguards were in high spirits. Their families were in Germany, and the flights were direct to Los Angeles. They would pick up their families in Los Angeles.
Li Du booked a hotel first. He lent the Rolls-Royce to the bodyguards. Whoever's family came to the United States would drive the luxury car to pick up the family.
He had carefully chosen the tourist destination and chose Pennsylvania in the northeastern part of the United States. The reason for choosing this place was because of the weather.
Cities such as Los Angeles and Miami were too hot in this season. The climate in the northeast was cool, and New York was noisy and crowded, not suitable for a vacation. After finally choosing, the small city of Cleveland appeared in front of Li Du.
Cleveland was a city with a population of less than 500,000. The environment was elegant, the weather was cool, and the air quality was very good. It was next to Lake Erie, one of the Five Great Lakes. In the west, there was the famous Appalachian Mountains.
Another important thing was that he got along well with the sports star LeBron James. LeBron James was very good at managing relationships. When he was free, he would chat with Li Du for a while. When there were festivals, they would also chat.
LeBron James used to be the city hero of Cleveland. He was the number one celebrity in the small city. When he played for the Cleveland Cavaliers, every time he played, the 20,000 seats in the arena would be full.
After all, the city of Cleveland had a resident population of only 400,000, such a stadium could be full, which showed how strong his appeal was in the local area.
However, LeBron James went to Miami a few years ago. Disappointed Cleveland fans regarded him as an enemy, but James had stayed there for many years and still had strong connections in Cleveland.
Li Du could enjoy a lot of resources in Cleveland. James had invited him there several times, and this time he simply chose this city.
In mid-July, after the family had all arrived and rested, a group of more than 30 people boarded a flight to Cleveland.
Li Du hired a private plane and sent them over in one go. Otherwise, he would have to check in Ah Meow and the other little guys. Big animals like Ali would not be transported by the airline.
Sophie brought a few little ones with her. When they got on the plane, the children of the bodyguards were very excited when they saw Ah Meow and the others. They pointed at the little ones and shouted.
As they could only speak German, Li Du did not know what they were shouting about, but he felt that they were all very agitated.
Brother Wolf translated for him, "They know Ah Meow, Ah Ow, and Ali. They have seen these children on the Internet and like them very much."
Li Du laughed and said, "Oh, our little Internet celebrities are all very popular, aren't they?"
Sophie heard what he said and snorted, "Of course, this time go to Cleveland to see me. I can save you hundreds of thousands of dollars on this trip!"
Li Du did not take her words seriously. He smiled and went to play cards with Brother Wolf and the others.
As the plane landed, the blue Lake Erie appeared. Looking northeast and northwest, there was a larger lake area. Relying on the Great Lakes, Cleveland once developed a strong industry.
In the 1950s, the city once had a population of more than 900,000. Then the global manufacturing and industrial center began to shift to Asia. Cleveland, like Detroit and other industrial cities, gradually declined.
In the following decades, the city's population continued to decline. In the 2000 census, the population of the city dropped to 500,000 for the first time. In the 2010 census, the city's population dropped to 400,000.
Li Du thought about it. Their county's population was more than 400,000, which meant that in terms of population resources, the city was not as big as their county.
As the plane landed, a chill hit them.
Cleveland was rich in water resources. Not only was it close to Lake Erie, but the city also had the Cuyahoga River, so the air was relatively humid.
Los Angeles was also humid. After all, the coastline was long, but at this time of year, Angel City was sultry. The humidity and heat could cook people.
It was different in Cleveland. This was the northernmost region of the United States. A little further north was Canada. The summer there was naturally very hot. It was not that they did not know what was good, but they were afraid of comparing goods. Compared to Los Angeles, Cleveland's summer was cooler.
Enjoying the cool evening breeze, Sophie smiled and said, "You chose a good place. It's really nice here."
It was a pity that it was a little late, and the NBA regular season was over. Otherwise, they could watch some sports in Cleveland. Cold beer and basketball games were a kind of enjoyment.
When Li Du and his party got off the plane, someone was waiting to receive them. It was an employee of the LeBron James Company, named Carpenter James. He would be a tour guide in Cleveland, and they could ask him any questions.
The hotel, which was also booked by the employee, was located next to the public square, which was the center of Cleveland. Not far from the university circle, it was lively and prosperous.
Li Du and his party had a smooth journey after they got in the car. It could be seen that there were few people in the city. When they passed through the outskirts of the city, many buildings were empty, and a large number of real estate projects were stopped halfway through.
When they got to the city center, Carpenter explained, "There is a new casino next to the hotel. There are a lot of people going to play now, so it's a bit congested. Please wait patiently."
"What about security?" Li Du was more concerned about this issue. He didn't want to deal with the police again on vacation in Cleveland.
Carpenter smiled and said, "Security is better where there is a casino, because casinos need to maintain good security."
The car entered the hotel parking lot. When they went to check in, Li Du deliberately explained that he was bringing his pets.
Without waiting for the hotel receptionist to reply, Sophie dragged Ah Meow out and introduced them. "These are our pets, Ah Meow, Ah Ow, Ali, Ah Meng, Ah Bai, and Crispy Noodles. We will do some live broadcasts in your hotel. Is that okay?"
The hotel waiter was surprised to see the cats and kangaroos. "Ah Meow, Ah Ow? The six gentlemen on you-to-be? "
Sophie smiled and nodded. "Yes."
