Catching snakes was not the same as in the previous competition, where they caught snakes empty-handed. That was the way experts competed. Normally, there was equipment for catching snakes. Everyone was armed to the teeth and was not afraid of being bitten.
After a lot of work, all the snakes that escaped were caught. Li Du and Brother Wolf caught the snakes that ran in the corridor. The snakes in the snake pool were caught by Griffin and his men.
The snake-catching equipment was thick clothes and gloves. Wearing that on a hot day, they were all sweating profusely.
Closing the cage door, Griffin was the last to come out. He counted the losses and looked upset.
Singer wanted to say something but found that he had nothing to say. He could only squat there dejectedly and get an IV drip.
Li Du wiped his sweat and said, "You guys are going to be busy. I won't disturb you anymore. See you later."
Griffin said, "Thank you for your help just now. Wait for me, I'll write you a check."
Li Du waved his hand and said, "No need. Clean up your mess. I'm not here to win money."
Hearing this, Griffin was stunned and said, "Yes, what are you here for? I still don't know why you're here. "
As soon as they met, they started arguing. In the end, Li Du had not even said his purpose, which was a little funny.
Li Du said, "I originally wanted to hire you. I found a Native American tribe in the Blue Ridge section of the Appalachian Mountains and traded with them. Their tribe has a business of catching wild venomous snakes to collect serum, venom, and make snakeskin. I want to find someone to take charge of this."
Griffin said, "You're not here to sell me antivenom? D * mn, I misunderstood you! "
He added, "At first, you said you wanted to work with me. I thought you wanted to buy snakes, but you came with the serum, so I thought you were trying to sell these things. There was a contrast. On one hand, I can earn your money, and on the other hand, you can earn my money. That's why I treated you like that."
Li Du did not know what to say. This guy was a little simple-minded.
After understanding his purpose, Griffin was tempted again and asked, "If we can work together, how would it be?"
Li Du said, "You help me check the quality of the venom and serum, and then set the price. You can be my consultant. I will be in charge of travel and food for each trip. I will give you a consulting fee of three to five thousand dollars depending on the workload."
Griffin rubbed his hands and said, "Why didn't you say so earlier? I'm willing to work with you. I can be your consultant. "
Li Du snorted. "I wanted to say it at that time, but did you give me the chance?"
Griffin said awkwardly, "Sorry, sorry, it's my fault. How about this, I can be the consultant, and I won't charge any fees for the first two jobs. It can be considered a trial."
Li Du's expression softened. This guy was a good person, but he was not losing out. He had lost ten thousand dollars to Li Du in the previous bet, and Li Du did not ask him for money. If he agreed to be a consultant, it would be even more impossible for him to ask him for money.
It was a task that could have been settled with a few words. Although it was settled in the end, there were some setbacks in the process. Griffin had brought trouble upon himself.
Both parties exchanged contact information, and Li Du handed him the prepared contract for him to sign. Both parties began to work together.
With Francis and Griffin, the business of the Tavisi tribe could start. This was another way to make money. Although it was impossible to make a lot of money from the Native Americans, it was a long-term business after all.
A few days later, Steve returned from the cave of the petroglyphs. He took a lot of photos and processed them. He wanted to study the contents of the petroglyphs.
At this point, Li Du and Old Martin announced the existence of the petroglyphs cave to the public: in the deep part of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the oldest petroglyphs in North America had been discovered!
With the consultants, bodyguards, and experts, Li Du returned to the mountains again.
This time they took a direct flight to Pittsburgh, then changed to a car, followed the mountain road all the way into the Blue Ridge Mountains, and then began to climb the mountains.
There were many mountaineering enthusiasts in the United States. The cave and the petroglyphs had not been discovered for a long time because they were well hidden. Therefore, although it was easier than the first time they went up the mountain, it still took a lot of effort and time.
The old experts were physically weak and often needed the support of bodyguards. Li Du prepared a large number of energy bars and energy drinks in advance in case there was a problem with the human body and they fell behind.
Fortunately, perhaps with the support of faith, the older experts followed Li Du up the mountain without complaint. Several of the older experts performed well, and it was obvious that they had been exercising.
Old Martin was doing quite well. Li Du wanted to show off and support him, but the old man waved his hand and said, "Everything is OK. I feel okay. The environment here is really good. It was a mistake not to come to the Blue Ridge Mountains before."
Li Du said, "Let's continue to climb in. There is a more beautiful scenery waiting for us."
Finally, under the guidance of the GPS, they entered the cave. Many of the petroglyphs were brightly colored and full of vicissitudes!
After seeing these petroglyphs, the experts did not bother to rest. They hurried into the cave with cold lights and began to inspect.
Someone wanted to take a picture, but an archaeologist stopped him and said seriously, "This is a precious treasure. No amount of protection is too much. Don't take pictures inside, don't let the light hurt the petroglyphs!"
Li Du didn't think it was necessary. Petroglyphs were not paintings. They were carved into the rock. How could they be destroyed so easily?
However, the experts were very cautious. All the lights in the cave were cold, trying to minimize the impact on the petroglyphs.
The rest had nothing to do with Li Du. He took the team of consultants to the Tavisi tribe for a deal.
When they saw him again, the people in the tribe paid him the highest respect. Li Du brought Ah Ow, who could do whatever she wanted in the tribe.
He brought a lot of gifts to the tribe, mostly daily necessities needed in the mountains, all kinds of spices, seasonings, and living supplies. He also brought some books, which Sadisram could only smile helplessly when he saw.
The chief accepted the gifts with a smile, and then showed them gold, silver, snake products, fur, ginseng herbs, and handmade art.
Finally, the chief said to Li Du, "If there is a way, can you bring us some horses next time?"
There were no horses in North America. The Europeans brought the animals, and the Indians living in the wild quickly fell in love with them.
Li Du agreed and said no problem. This time they also brought animals, but they were mules. Otherwise, they would not have been able to bring the gifts up the mountain, nor the Indians' goods down the mountain.
Francis and Griffin appraised the precious metals and snake products, and Li Du set the price himself. They stayed in the tribe for a day, and finally Li Du handed over 400,000 dollars in cash and took away millions of dollars worth of goods.
