Entering the attic, Li Du saw the glassware again. There was a wooden shelf against the wall, and on the shelf were sealed glass bottles.
In addition to these things, there was a pile of rose petals on the floor of the attic. In the corner, there were two large barrels filled with rose petals as well.
However, these rose petals were all gone. The ones on the floor had dried up, and the ones in the barrels looked like they had rotted, turning a grayish-black color.
The glass bottles on the shelf were filled with a viscous liquid. On the top layer of the shelf, there was a bunch of labels that read: Damascus rose essential oil.
Li Du scratched his head. What was going on? Was he not entering a warehouse, but a production workshop?
The first layer of the warehouse was filled with used glassware. It was messy and looked worthless, and he could not tell what it was.
However, looking at the attic, he could tell that it was a production line. The glassware in the attic was arranged in an orderly manner, and the ones below were either unused or discarded.
What were these glassware for? Li Du did not understand at first, until he saw the labels on the shelf and some promotional materials, posters, and the like. Finally, he understood.
The glassware was used to extract rose essential oil, and the glass bottles on the shelf were the extracted rose essential oil!
He roughly looked around. There were a total of 24 bottles of rose essential oil, and each bottle was very small, only about 200 milliliters.
Taking everything into account, there was a total of 4,800 milliliters of rose essential oil.
However, without opening the bottles, he could not be sure of the identity of the liquid inside. This was only his guess, as the labels on the shelf were all about rose essential oil.
He did not know much about rose essential oil, so he went online to search for relevant information.
The first message that popped up on the page was: Bulgaria, Morocco, and Turkey are experiencing political turmoil. High-quality rose essential oil is out of stock, and the price has increased to 500 dollars per 10 milliliters.
Looking at this message, Li Du subconsciously swallowed his saliva.
500 dollars per 10 milliliters? How much was that 4,800 milliliters of rose essential oil? 240,000 dollars!
If the liquid in the bottle was the rose essential oil that he guessed, it meant that the things in the attic were worth 240,000 dollars!
Alright, although this was the price of high-quality essential oil, even if the quality of the rose essential oil was average, he would give the price a 50% discount — 120,000 dollars!
Swallowing his saliva, Li Du memorized the storage unit and released the little bug to continue looking.
There were still seven storage units left to be auctioned, but with the rose essential oil storage unit as a comparison, the value of the items in the remaining storage units was not that high.
Li Du saw that he was not interested, so he kept the little bug and waved his hand. "Come on, let's continue to the next storage company."
In one day, they went to six storage companies and checked forty to fifty storage units. Li Du was so tired that he almost peed his pants.
When they returned to the hotel in the evening, the Iron Knight's burly figure appeared in their vision. Godzilla had arrived.
Not only had Godzilla arrived, but Ah Meow and Crispy Noodles had also arrived.
Li Du asked the receptionist. When he pushed open the door to Godzilla's room, two figures flew into his arms.
Ah Meow had become a big ocelot. An adult ocelot could grow up to eight or nine kilograms. Ah Meow was usually lazy, so he had to be around ten kilograms.
Ten kilograms didn't seem like much, but in fact, it was terrifying for felines, especially at the moment of impact, which could cause a huge impact.
Li Du was exhausted and almost fell from Ah Meow's pounce. When he finally managed to stand up, Crispy Noodles pounced on him again.
As a result, Mr. Li was pushed to the ground in the hallway.
Ah Meow squatted on his chest and kept meowing. Its chubby face was puffed up, and its eyes were full of dissatisfaction. It was obvious that it was unhappy that Li Du had not been with it for the past few days.
Crispy Noodles also meowed and was unhappy. It lay beside Li Du and used its front paws to pinch his shirt, refusing to let go no matter what.
Big Quinn quickly helped Li Du up and said, "Boss, are you okay?"
Li Du smiled bitterly. "I was almost killed by these little b * tches. I'm fine. Let me go back and rest. I might have a little heat stroke."
Hans said, "You need more exercise. Why do you get heat stroke so easily?"
"Get lost. Hurry up and prepare something for me to eat and drink. I'm starving."
Godzilla nodded. Yes, I'm starving.
The next day, they split up. Hans brought Big Quinn to attend the auction in Beverly Hills, while Li Du brought Godzilla to check out the general situation of the remaining storage companies.
In the morning, he had just walked around a storage company when Hans called and said, "D * mn, these guys in LA are too rich. Two storage units were sold for more than 10,000 dollars."
Li Du said decisively, "Then don't interfere."
The items in those two storage units might be worth 10,000 dollars, but they still had to be processed and manpower was needed. There was no way they could make a profit with 10,000 dollars.
Realizing that there were many rich people in LA, Li Du checked out the storage units again and became more careful.
There was a storage unit at the back with some leather. The weather was hot, and the leather had not been processed well. It gave off a sour smell that could be smelled even outside.
He covered his nose and walked over. Godzilla frowned and said, "It stinks."
Hearing this, Li Du's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He had a bad feeling!
His lowest expectation for this auction was to get the rose essential oil storage unit, but now he realized that it would not be easy to get it.
Because the storage unit had a smell, and Godzilla's words reminded him that if they could smell the stench here, then the rose essential oil storage unit's fragrance would also be smelled.
There were some ruthless people among the treasure hunters in LA. After smelling the rose essential oil and the bottles and cans, many people might be able to guess the identity of the storage unit.
Just like that, a sense of crisis arose in his heart, and he began to think of a way to solve the crisis.
The glass containers were confusing. Just from them, the presence of the rose essential oil could not be inferred. The most important thing was the smell.
Li Du rubbed his chin. He went to a supermarket to buy a water spray gun and a few bottles of disinfectant that smelled amazing.
Taking advantage of the night, he poured the disinfectant into the water spray gun and sneaked into the storage unit. Using the water spray gun, he sprayed the disinfectant into the attic and the storage unit on the bottom floor.
The storage unit used a shutter door. There were gaps under the door and on both sides, so if he was careful, he could spray the disinfectant in.
After a while, the storage unit smelled of disinfectant.
The next day, they set off to the vicinity of Pershing Square. There was a storage company there that would be the first to hold an auction.
Li Du came to check. There was a storage unit with a set of fire extinguishers, including a high-pressure spray gun and an engine. It could be sold for a lot of money.
