This time, Li Du was quite busy, and the pressure was no less than when he had climbed the mountain to find the treasure.
Of course, this result was acceptable. After all, he had just finished his vacation, and there would always be some things to do. However, after careful consideration, he found that there were a little too many things to do!
First, he had decided to stay in Los Angeles, so he had to solve the housing problem; second, he had to deal with the gold; third, the Amengda diamond mine had started producing, and some documents needed his approval; fourth, some infrastructure construction had begun on Seagull Island, and he needed to provide funds; fifth, Remonin needed more military power and funds …
In addition, knowing that he had returned to Los Angeles, a Hollywood star he had been in contact with called him again. Brad Pitt wanted to discuss the rental of the Tiger tank.
It was almost mid-July, and Li Du had thought he would return to Los Angeles at the beginning of July. However, so many things had happened, delaying his schedule, so Brad Pitt was very anxious.
They agreed to meet at a café in Beverly Hills called Lucky Blue Cat.
This was Li Du's first formal contact with Los Angeles since he decided to move to the city, so he did not drive, but used the same mode of transportation as the people of Los Angeles.
As early as more than ten years ago, the city had put forward the slogan 'Car Free Los Angeles.' Of course, this was nonsense. How could a world's top developed city like Los Angeles have no cars? This was a city that was carried by the wheels of a car.
However, the traffic in Los Angeles was very developed, and people could travel unimpeded without a car. As early as the 1980s, the band MISSING-Persons created a popular song called Nobody-walks-in-LA. Los Angeles people don't walk.
Now the transportation culture of Los Angeles was not so closely related to cars. In order to control the smog and avoid high gas prices, residents began to travel by subway and bicycle.
Sophie and her party temporarily rented a villa in the suburbs. The location of the villa was very good, and there was a subway entrance two or three hundred meters away. Li Du took Sophie to the cafe.
The subway in Los Angeles was very affordable, and one could buy an unlimited number of tickets. For only five dollars, one could take the subway unlimited times throughout the city.
The subway was the same as the ground, with a lot of people, but there was no traffic jam, so they could get to their destination smoothly.
Sophie's interest was not in Brad Pitt, but in the Andean condor that Li Du had just obtained. She asked, "You haven't told me how you got it."
Li Du said, "What experience? The Markelov brothers gave it to me. Both of them were poachers, but I persuaded them to change their ways."
The two brothers were now in the hospital, and the identification documents that Steve had gotten for them had not been produced yet. Brother Wolf suggested that the two brothers go for microplastic surgery to avoid some trouble in the future.
Li Du felt that this was very reasonable, so he paid for the two brothers to go to the hospital. He was familiar with this area. Irina went for microplastic surgery every month, so they were familiar with the relevant hospitals in the United States.
After passing through two subway stations, they returned to the surface. Looking up, they saw Beverly Hills, a landmark of Los Angeles.
Li Du had been here a few times, but every time he came, he was still shocked.
This was the dream place of the world's famous rich people. As the most famous city within the city of Los Angeles, it had the world's most high-end commercial street and many of the mansions of Hollywood stars. It was also the holy land of the world's film industry.
Beverly Hills covered an area of six square miles, almost fifteen square kilometers, and had a permanent population of thirty-five thousand people. However, it could receive up to three hundred and fifty thousand people every day!
Most of these people were tourists, and a small number were handsome men and beautiful women with the dream of becoming a star. They hoped to be noticed by the local star directors who lived here, so that they would be able to make a name for themselves.
From the beginning of the subway station, Li Du's eyes were not enough. For the first time, he felt that he was a little ugly. It turned out that there were so many handsome men and beautiful women in the world!
Sophie, on the other hand, was much more confident. Her appearance could only be considered beautiful in the eyes of foreigners, but not devastatingly beautiful. Li Du was a Chinese person, so he felt that she was simply beautiful.
However, she had this little bit of temperament. Even when she was with the top beauties, she still shone.
Lucky Blue Cat was a very old cafe, which had been around for nearly a century. It was located between two exquisite luxury stores. From the entrance, it looked like a small wooden house, like a small warehouse next to a luxury store.
In contrast, the two luxury stores were resplendent. One had finely carved marble and a brass door, and the other had an arched fountain in front of it. No matter how you looked at it, it was extraordinary.
The small cafe was like an ugly duckling looking up at a white swan. However, its existence had a unique charm, which other shops did not have: the feeling of vicissitudes.
Li Du pushed the door open. Behind the door was a string of bells. When it was touched, it made a crisp sound. Immediately, someone came up and asked politely, "Hello, sir, madam. Do you have a reservation?"
"Uh, yes, Cat's Paw Hut. Mr. Brad Pitt's reservation, thank you," Sophie said after thinking for a while.
The waiter took the two to a small private room. The inside of the cafe was as simple as the outside, but not shabby. There were several blue cats living inside, hiding under the bar to enjoy the cool air.
Li Du and Sophie had arrived ten minutes early. The waiter asked them what they wanted to drink, and Sophie ordered two glasses of fruit juice, which surprised the waiter.
Five minutes later, the door of the private room was pushed open again, and a handsome face appeared in front of them. Hollywood's top hunk, Brad Pitt, had arrived with his assistant.
The two sides had been in contact many times on the phone before, and Pitt and Sophie had met once. Sophie had given him some information about the tank, so they were not strangers when they met this time.
Pitt first asked Li Du about the details of the tank. The tank was being assembled and repaired. Some of its parts needed to be replaced, otherwise it could not be started.
This time, Li Du had picked up a treasure. The veteran was very attentive to the maintenance of the tank. The Tiger tank could still be started. It was one of the only two Tiger tanks in the world that could be started, which was why Pitt wanted to rent it.
Li Du handed the tank information to Pitt. There was a video inside, which was played after connecting to the iPad. The Tiger tank was moving slowly, constantly changing directions, and it was awe-inspiring!
Seeing this, Pitt laughed happily.
