There were many houses in Los Angeles. After all, it was the largest metropolitan area in the United States. The Los Angeles metropolitan area alone had more than 13 million residents, and the entire Los Angeles area had close to 20 million residents.
With such a population, there were naturally a lot of houses. There were millions of houses scattered around. Even in the metropolitan area, there were several real estate auctions every day.
This business was much bigger than storage auctions. There were always more houses than storage units in a city.
Although the number of warehouses being auctioned was higher than the number of houses due to the mobility of the population, the frequency of real estate auctions was higher. After all, the price of real estate was high and the value was high, so they could not be too stacked up. At most, twenty to thirty houses would be auctioned off.
After this auction, there was another auction in the metropolitan area on Monday of the second week. More than 20 houses were put up for auction.
Li Du was not affected by the previous two auctions. He took the treasure hunters on this auction trip again.
There were more houses being auctioned, and more people in the industry. Under Logan's call, the local Los Angeles house-pickers formed an alliance to deal with Li Du and his group.
Logan brought a group of house-pickers to follow Li Du. When he went to the auction again, Logan met him again.
This time, they lost again. Li Du did not get anything. Fortunately, he had advised the treasure hunters not to fight with the house-pickers. Hence, they did not end up in a trash house like the last time.
Of course, even a clay figurine has three points of anger. The house-pickers made all kinds of sarcastic remarks at the auction. The treasure hunters were all hot-tempered men. After being provoked, there would always be people who could not help but bid.
This was a trap. After they bid, almost no house-picker would bid again. In the end, the houses would fall into the hands of the treasure hunters. These houses were often trash houses and had no trading value.
Walking out of the auction hall of the city's Housing Authority with a group of dejected treasure hunters, Li Du bumped into Logan again. Logan smiled and said, "I underestimated you, buddy. Looks like you have a bad temper."
Li Du said indifferently, "That's nothing. We have nothing to lose. Just treat it as an eye-opener and experience."
Logan gave him a thumbs up and said, "You have a great attitude. I like you, Chinese. It's a pity that you go overboard. I hope you come to auctions more often. I think the next few years will be an eye-opener for you."
Li Du looked at him and said, "Alright, anyway, I don't just rely on this industry to make money. If you know a little about me, you'll know that I live in a manor worth tens of millions. I don't care about such a small profit. I have many ways to earn money. "
Logan glanced at the surrounding treasure hunters, and a strange smile appeared on his face. "Of course, I know that you are a rich man, and you have many ways to earn money. But what about your subordinates? Not only are they not making money, but they are also losing money. I want to see what you can do. "
After saying that, he led the house-pickers away. Their backs were full of mettle and they were all proud of themselves.
Turis said angrily, "I can't wait to break all his teeth. Look at that bastard. Does he think he's God?"
Olly said helplessly, "But what he said makes sense. Boss Li, how are we going to make money in the future?"
Li Du said, "What's the hurry? This isn't the only way for me to make money, and neither do you guys. Is it because we've participated in too many real estate auctions that you've forgotten what we used to do? "
"Storage auction?!"
Li Du nodded. "Go back and rest. The auction in California is coming up soon. I will tell you which storage units are valuable. I have been studying this auction these days. This time, we have a lot to do!"
His confident tone and expression made the treasure hunters relax. Before they left on the subway, Turis asked, "Boss Li, is there anything else we need to do before the storage auction?"
"Of course, what we need to do is rest." Li Du smiled and stepped onto the subway.
After changing trains twice, he walked out of a subway station. Just as he stepped onto the surface, a few black teenagers who had been leaning against the railings by the side of the road, smoking, walked towards him.
Li Du had met these teenagers at the entrance of the subway. He had heard about them on the subway, saying that they were the children's gang of Los Angeles. They were very hateful and more troublemakers than ordinary hooligans.
The two parties had met a few times, but there was no interaction. Li Du did not care about them. No matter what happened to these people, it had nothing to do with him. These teenagers would definitely spend the rest of their lives in prison. Their fate was sealed.
However, it was different this time. When the teenagers walked past him, someone waved his hand and took something out of his bag and threw it at him, Hans, and Brother Wolf.
A cloud of white dust suddenly appeared. Li Du and Hans were chatting and laughing. They did not expect such a thing to happen. It was too sudden. Li Du did not have time to use the space-time bug's ability to slow down time, so he did not have time to avoid it.
However, Brother Wolf was still vigilant. As the dust fell, he went up and knocked Li Du away.
Li Du staggered a few steps forward to leave the dust area, but Brother Wolf and Hans were still inside.
At the same time that the dust appeared, the teenagers each took out a dagger, a stun baton, and a baseball bat and rushed into the dust to fight.
They were obviously very familiar with this kind of situation. Their attacks were fast and fierce. As they rushed into the dust, they waved their stun batons, baseball bats, and some teenagers slashed and stabbed with daggers.
These people cooperated with each other. As the dust rose, they rushed in. In this way, Li Du was knocked out and avoided their attacks. Brother Wolf and Hans, who were in the dust, became the targets.
Brother Wolf was prepared and did not panic in the face of danger. His vision was completely obscured by the dust, but he quickly took precautions. A baseball bat hit him on the back. Enduring the pain, he turned around to kick the person, snatched the baseball bat, and dashed out like a whirlwind.
After Li Du steadied himself, he saw that the situation was not good and quickly rushed back.
At this time, there was a scream in the dust. "F * ck!"
The sound came from Hans. Li Du's heart tightened. He slowed down time and took out the Taser gun from the black hole. He shot three times at the three teenagers.
Although the dust affected his vision, he could barely make out the teenagers' figures at close range. The three shots did not miss. Three teenagers fell.
There were still four or five teenagers wreaking havoc inside. Hans fell to the ground, and they waved baseball bats and iron bars to beat him fiercely. Li Du kicked two of them down. The remaining teenagers saw several of their companions fall to the ground and immediately scattered.
The dust stung his nose and choked his eyes. Li Du did not take any protective measures. His eyes were stained by some of the dust and he felt a burning pain.
He could not care less about chasing the teenagers. He pulled Hans, who was on the ground, and ran out!
