Yes, the one interested in the still was not Godzilla, but Li Du.
Previously, Li Du had asked Hans about Garter's personality, and Hans had said that he was suspicious and cunning.
Hence, Li Du guessed that if he directly asked Garter to trade the chandelier for the still or buy it with money, Garter might suspect that he had ulterior motives.
After some consideration, he decided to use the jade imitation to test the waters, and then came up with plan A and B.
In his plan, if Garter was willing to trade the chandelier for the jade imitation, then he would proceed with plan A, and use another item to trade for the still.
If Garter was too cautious and unwilling to trade, then he would activate plan B. Godzilla would mention that he liked the still, and Li Du would think of a way to bait Garter into trading.
In the end, after he had tested the waters, Garter was indeed suspicious, and rejected Li Du's proposal. He was also stupid, and took the bait when Godzilla came forward.
Of course, this also had to do with the Mexicans' love for alcohol. In the past, when moonshine dominated the market, a lot of alcohol came from Mexicans.
Hence, when Godzilla said he wanted the still, Garter did not think much of it.
Putting away the still, Li Du motioned for Hans to continue trading with the treasure hunters from the old goods auction.
There were still many valuable old goods in the camp, such as home appliances, household tools, and some ornaments found in the storage units.
Later, a few more treasure hunters arrived. Some of them had their eyes on some old goods, so they took away the useless trash around them. There were also some who were unwilling to take away the trash, so they used their old goods to trade.
Li Du tried not to use cash to trade. He would either help clean up the trash, or barter with old goods. He mainly accepted these two methods of trading.
Someone asked, "Big Li, why don't you sell the useful old goods? You're just giving away your money by doing this. "
Li Du smiled and did not explain. He could not explain himself.
According to his plan, bartering was to get closer to the old goods auction business, and cleaning up the trash was for the future expansion of the business.
With the expansion of the business, the number of storage units that could be auctioned would increase. It would take too much time to go through the items one by one to find the valuable ones.
Li Du was ambitious now. He only wanted the most valuable and the most profitable items. He did not want the ordinary second-hand goods, and did not want to waste his energy to make a small profit.
Under such circumstances, it would be better to let the treasure hunters from the old goods auction trade come and search for treasures. At the same time, they could also help to dispose of the trash from the storage units.
There was no doubt that for the treasure hunters, just helping to dispose of the trash would give them valuable goods. This was a very worthwhile transaction.
In the future, as the business grew bigger and Li Du had more old goods, he would change the way he traded.
At that time, he would organize his own people to deal with the garbage, and the valuable old goods would be sold through bartering or money transactions.
The reason why he could not do that now was that his business was still too small. There were not many valuable items, and not many treasure hunters would come.
Simply put, he was using this method to create a gimmick to attract treasure hunters to his campsite.
In the future, when the number of old goods transactions in the camp increased, the scale increased, and the reputation spread, he could also set up an old goods market.
If the scale of the old goods market was expanded, the old goods auction that he wanted could be organized.
However, this was a matter for the future. It wasn't something that could be achieved in a short period of time, and it wasn't something that he needed to focus on right now.
At present, the more important thing was to build a mobile cabin in the campsite. The order was sent in mid-July, and at the end of that month, the factory sent the materials and tools to build the cabin.
Along with the truck came a small crane. The cabin didn't look big, but in fact, the materials used were very good. It would be very difficult to build it by manpower alone.
Li Du had already chosen the location of the cabin. After the staff checked the strength of the foundation, they nodded and said, "This is good, then let's start."
The walls around the cabin were thick tempered glass, and the floor was made of concrete and wood composite boards, about ten inches thick, with a unique texture, and looked beautiful on the ground.
After cleaning the ground and compacting the foundation, the workers quickly laid a waterproof layer and an anti-corrosion layer on the ground, and then laid the floor.
After the floor was laid, the walls on the east and south sides were built first.
The crane continued to work and began to load the load-bearing walls and support frames according to the two sides of the wall.
The load-bearing walls were also made of concrete and wood composite boards, which were unusually strong and had a long service life of 20 to 30 years.
The cabin used an open two-story duplex structure, with a living room downstairs and a bedroom upstairs. Excluding the stairs and empty space, the upstairs area was still 25 square meters.
As the workers worked quickly, the function rooms in the cabin took shape.
Although the cabin was small, it had all the essentials that a modern person needed, including a shower, kitchen, king-sized bed, sofa, and so on.
There was even a small study in the corner of the cabin, which could also be used as an office.
The biggest part of the cabin was the living room, which had many functions. It could receive guests, turn into a small bar, or turn into a children's playground.
The kitchen was in the living room, next to it was a wall. There was an opening in the wall, which could be opened to the outside. With the hood, it would not be a problem to cook greasy dishes.
In addition to the hood, the kitchen was also equipped with a stove, a circle of exquisite cupboards and drawers, a small freezer under the cupboard, and a refrigerator next to it.
On the other side of the living room, there was a door leading to the bathroom, which was decorated very modern. It was said that the toilet was Japanese, but no matter how modern it was, it still had to be cleaned manually.
There was a small room next to the bathroom, which was the shower. It was separated from the bathroom, which was something that many buildings could not do.
The bedroom on the second floor was very comfortable, divided into two rooms. If the sofa in the living room was opened, the house could have three rooms, enough to accommodate three families.
The furniture and appliances in the bedroom were also a set, each with a television and a king-sized bed. One of them was an airbag bed, which was absolutely comfortable to lie on.
Finally, everything in the house was arranged properly. The remaining two walls were sealed, and the crane covered the roof. The cabin was completed!
The roof of the cabin was sloping, covered with a layer of solar panels, which could collect solar energy.
Even in winter, the energy collected in one day could power the LED lights in the house for a week, because these LED lights consumed very little energy.
If it was a hot summer like now, then the fridge, freezer, lamps, hood, and water heater in the house could all be powered by solar energy.
However, to use air conditioning, a generator was still needed. The cabin was equipped with a low-noise diesel generator, and its power was very impressive!
