As the number of treasure hunters increased, another function of the camp became apparent: it became a place to exchange information.
At noon on September 3rd, someone suddenly said to Hans, "The Dog Ears father and son are back."
Hans said, "Is that so? I haven't seen them for a while. I thought they went out of town. "
"Yes, they went out of town. I heard they offended the people at the Comanche Casino."
"They were caught by the Native Americans. Now the Ricks are working for them. It seems they owe them a lot of money, and they're working to pay off their debt."
"How do they work? Haha, selling their butts or serving the fat ladies at the casino? "
"Of course it's storage auctions. They continue to participate in storage auctions, but the money they earn belongs to the Native Americans. That means these two poor guys have become wage laborers."
Li Du knew the inside story, but he did not sympathize with them. The Ricks were typical examples of people who had a death wish.
If he hadn't used the little bug to kill people at the casino and intimidate Marlin and the others, he would be the one who had become a wage laborer.
He interrupted and asked, "How are the Ricks doing?"
"Very good. With the Native Americans backing them up, these two b * stards have become more domineering. Oh yes, Li, they've also said that they'll teach you a lesson, "someone said.
Hans took off his sunglasses and looked at the treasure hunter. "Let them come. I want to see how they'll teach us a lesson. Has he become a beautician?"
"Haha." A few treasure hunters laughed.
Li Du waved his hand. "Don't joke around, Big Fox. Find a few good storage units for us to take a look. We haven't opened one for a few days."
Hans said helplessly, "Didn't we just go to Water Town and get a storage unit? Look, that's where the chair you're sitting on came from. "
Li Du said lazily, "What I want is a valuable storage unit, with a lot of value."
Hans sighed and said, "Well, who has good storage information? Come on, guys. Whoever has it, I'll give him a reward."
"What reward?" someone asked immediately.
Hans stepped on the water in the ditch and said, "Our camp's golden resting spot. How about it? Not bad, right?"
"Shh!" A wave of disdainful hisses rang out.
However, these treasure hunters did know something. Someone said, "I can tell you something, Big Fox. There's something good in Holbrook's Vendetta storage unit."
"What good stuff?" Li Du asked with interest.
Just as he finished asking, his phone rang. It was a call from an unknown number.
This way, he could not listen to the answer, so he answered the phone and said, "Hello, this is Li. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Hello, hello, Du Li? Mr. Li, right? Hello, hello. " A warm voice came from the phone. "I'm Mr. Steel Steve. Nice to meet you. We've been communicating on Facebook."
Li Du was puzzled and asked, "Sorry, I don't have any impression. You are?"
"My nickname on Face Book is Mr. Steel Steve. Maybe it's because we haven't talked for a while, so you don't have a deep impression of me. In fact, I often send you messages about the dodo specimen."
Li Du suddenly realized that it was this person.
When he had left the dodo specimen on Face Book, two people had sent him messages. One was Dr. Clinken, and the other was this Mr. Steel Steve.
After learning about the value of the dodo specimen from Dr. Clinken, he had removed the photo of the specimen because he was worried that someone with ulterior motives would see it and cause trouble for him.
This Mr. Steel Steve had also left a message for him, but he had chosen to contact Dr. Clinken, who was more authoritative, and had not replied to Mr. Steel Steve.
Later, when he found out that the specimen was worth millions but could only be sold for 100,000, Li Du did not pay any more attention to the matter. Dr. Clinken had called him a few times, but he had hung up.
In Li Du's opinion, he was not short of 100,000 dollars, and the specimen was very rare. He might as well keep it for himself.
When he received the call from Mr. Steel Steve, he said with some embarrassment, "I know who you are. You're calling because of the dodo specimen, right?"
The person on the other end of the line quickly said, "Yes, yes, yes, I like to collect bird specimens. In fact, I'm a bird specimen collector. I'm very interested in your specimen."
Li Du declined politely. "Thank you for your appreciation, but I don't intend to sell it."
Mr. Steel Steve asked, "You're also interested in collecting bird specimens, aren't you? Or is someone else offering you an offer? "
Li Du said, "I don't really like collecting bird specimens, but I'm not short of money. If the dodo specimen can't sell for a good price, I'm not interested in selling it."
Mr. Steel Steve was stunned, and then asked, "Someone offered? Can I ask how much they're willing to pay? "
There was nothing to hide. Li Du said, "Professor George Clinken from the Metropolitan Avian Museum in New York told me that this specimen is worth millions, but he can only offer 100,000 dollars …"
"This b * stard!" Mr. Steel Steve could not help but swear.
Li Du asked, "What's wrong?"
Mr. Steel Steve said, "You didn't make a deal with George Clinken, did you?"
"Yes."
"Then you're very smart, man. You almost got cheated by him. This guy is very good at cheating people," Mr. Steel Steve said, a little annoyed.
Li Du asked, "What do you mean?"
Mr. Steel Steve said, "Your specimen is indeed worth a million dollars, and it can be sold for a million, not 100,000. George Clinken is a greedy b * stard. He likes to use his position to deceive people who don't know what he's doing. Obviously, you've been cheated by him. "
Hearing this, Li Du perked up and said, "You're saying that you're willing to pay a million dollars for this specimen?"
Mr. Steel Steve said, "Of course, but there's a condition. If the specimen is the same as in your photo, I'm willing to pay a million dollars!"
Li Du said without hesitation, "Give me the address, and I'll send it to you. I can guarantee that the real specimen is better than the photo!"
He was too lazy to sell it for 100,000 dollars, but a million dollars was a different story. This was a million dollars!
This was a pleasant surprise. He had originally thought that he would be satisfied if he could get a specimen worth 100,000 dollars from the Amish with just a few items.
Now he suddenly found out that the specimen was not worth 100,000 dollars, but one million dollars.
Li Du wondered if he was dreaming. Although he was worth millions, one million dollars was still not a small amount. It was enough to make him excited.
