The bicycle storage brought them nearly 80,000 dollars, and all the bicycles were sold for a total of 88,500 dollars.
The really valuable ones were the Plum, Locke, and the other two super bicycles. Their brands were well-known for their excellent performance and high-end products.
The manufacturers of these four bicycles did not pursue sales. Most of them sold less than 10,000 units a year, and their products were mainly designed to satisfy enthusiasts.
Therefore, although they were not well known among the general public, they were definitely worth a lot. In fact, these four bicycles were not bicycles, but racing cars.
In Li Du's mind, no matter how valuable a bicycle was, it would not be as expensive as a motorcycle, and no matter how valuable a motorcycle was, it would not be as expensive as a car.
However, this was only under normal circumstances. Take this time, for example, the four bicycles were all handmade, used for professional competitions, and their prices were astonishingly high. Especially that Plum Silver Legend, the black owner paid 40,000 dollars for it!
When Li Du bought the BMW Z4, he had only spent that much money!
However, other than these four bicycles, the other bicycles were very cheap. 125 ordinary bicycles were sold for a total of 2,600 dollars …
After getting the money, the two of them split it in half, and Li Du's account had an additional 40,000 dollars.
He looked at the balance on his phone and could not help but sigh. "I didn't expect bicycles to be so expensive. That Plum Silver Legend cost 40,000 dollars, how much is a new one?"
"Can't buy a new one," Hans said. "The Plum Silver Legend is a limited edition bike, used in the Tour of Italy. Only 50 were released, and now they are all collected by enthusiasts."
Li Du said, "I'm quite puzzled, buddy. Why do you collect bicycles? I can understand collecting gold, diamonds, and antiques. "
Hans shrugged and said, "What's there to be puzzled about? I think Taylor Swift is the most beautiful woman in the world, and everyone should be obsessed with her! "
Li Du shook his head firmly. "Impossible …"
"Yes, a thousand readers like a thousand Hamlets, a thousand collectors like a thousand things, there's nothing wrong with that, is there?"
Li Du thought for a while and had to admit, "Yes, there's nothing wrong with that."
He was just saying that casually. The American collecting world was full of strange things. Bicycles and other sports equipment were very common, and it was a large industry.
In the afternoon, when it was time to get off work, he called Sophie. The female doctor was still working. "Mr. Wesley was discharged from the hospital today. Why don't you come over?"
Wesley was the fat Asian youth who had been shot. Like Li Du, he was Chinese and had come to Flagstaff to study.
However, he was a straight-A student and a graduate student at Northern Arizona University. He was much better than Li Du, who had been tricked into attending a diploma mill.
Hearing that Wesley was about to be discharged, Li Du had nothing to do, so he decided to make a trip there.
He took a taxi to the hospital. The female doctor was waiting for him outside. When she saw him, she immediately opened her arms.
Mr. Li was very sure that this was directed at him. He felt a little flattered. What did this mean? Did Sophie's attitude toward him change because of that dinner?
However, the female doctor's gaze reminded him that he was thinking too much. She was looking at Ah Meow, who was walking like a cat next to him.
Seeing the female doctor open her arms, Ah Meow curled his lips and retreated, his cat-like steps still elegant.
The female doctor smiled sweetly and took out a small box from the big pocket of her white coat. In it were pieces of orange-red salmon.
Seeing this, Ah Meow's cat eyes suddenly widened. His long tail was raised like a flagpole. He ran over with his little butt, squinted his eyes, and began to act cute.
The female doctor picked up Ah Meow and kissed him twice. Then she smiled at Li Du. "This dear has put on weight again. You have to control his appetite."
Ah Meow didn't care. He held the fish in his mouth and wolfed it down.
Li Du said, "I can't control him. He's very good at finding food secretly. Right, why is my compatriot being discharged so early? He had a gunshot wound. "
Sophie explained, "After stopping the bleeding, disinfecting the wound, and bandaging it up, all that's left is the external injuries. They mainly rely on post-treatment care, which doesn't need to be done in the hospital. His parents came to Flagstaff and decided to go home to take care of him."
Carrying Ah Meow, she brought Li Du into the hospital.
Wesley was in the surgical ward. When they walked out of the ward, they found someone talking inside.
Li Du was worried that he would disturb the privacy of the other party, so he poked his head out to take a look. He saw Dr. Thompson from the anesthesiology department talking in the ward.
Besides Thompson, there were two Chinese couples in their fifties. On the bed was a fat young man with a gunshot wound.
At this time, Thompson was talking loudly. "Buddy, you can't play with guns so casually in the future. I know that you Chinese people rarely touch guns, but this is not something that just anyone can play with. It's too difficult for you Asians to control a gun with your strength.
"It was very dangerous at that time. Both of you, your son was too fat. The bullet was wrapped in a layer of fat. It's very difficult for the average doctor to find it. Luckily, I have experience. To be honest, if I hadn't been able to remove the bullet in time, I'm afraid you'd be facing a coffin now … "
Wesley's parents seemed to be honest people. They probably didn't understand English very well, so they kept asking their son to translate.
Thompson's words were very unfriendly, and Wesley's face darkened. He could only translate in a euphemistic tone. This way, his parents would be very grateful to Thompson.
Wesley's father shook Thompson's hand and said in broken English, "Thank you, doctor. Thank you so much. You're really amazing."
Thompson said, "This is what I should do. I'm very happy to be able to save your son, doctor …"
Hearing this, Sophie couldn't help but push the door open. She walked in with a cold face and said, "Dr. Thompson, what did you just say? Who did you save? "
Seeing Sophie, Thompson did not panic. He smiled and said, "We saved Mr. Wesley together, didn't we?"
Sophie said with a cold face, "Of course not. In fact, as an excellent anesthesiologist, you didn't participate in the operation at all. It was Li who saved the life!"
Li Du walked in and gave Thompson a bright smile. "Hello, doctor, we meet again."
Thompson did not look friendly at him. He snorted coldly and walked away shamelessly.
Sophie said disdainfully, "I don't even know how he has the face to walk out of the door with his back straight!"
Wesley roughly knew what was going on. Sophie had told him about the rescue process. These days, it was also Sophie who had been following up on his condition.
So, as soon as Thompson left, he immediately introduced Sophie to his parents. "Mom, Dad, this is Dr. Sophie. She's my savior. And that Mr. Li, he should be the one who operated on me."
"Then what about the doctor just now?" Wesley's parents were stunned.
Wesley said unhappily, "Who knows what's wrong with him? Anyway, as far as I know, that Dr. Thompson is not a good person."
