The first three units were all fakes, but Mr. Li did not leave. He patiently looked through every piece of furniture.
The reason he did this was that he hoped that the mahogany gallery would at least have a few real ones.
However, after looking through all the furniture, Mr. Li was furious.
D * mn, there was not a single real one. That damn mahogany gallery was really ruthless. All the furniture in the unit was fake!
After spending so much effort, he found out that all the furniture was fake. Li Du really wanted to find the owner of the mahogany gallery and ask him if his conscience hurt!
In the second last unit, there were some miscellaneous items. There were some woodworking tools, some wood bark, some paint, and a few boxes with the original wood wrapped in kraft paper.
When he first saw the wood and paint, he did not understand why the gallery would have these things.
Now he understood why the Mahogany Gallery was so daring. They had faked it in the warehouse!
The last unit was also filled with mahogany furniture. He was not sure what the material was, but it was definitely fake since it was faked with leather.
Just as he was about to recall the little bug, he suddenly thought of something important.
He was sure that these pieces of furniture were fake, but most of them were faked with leather. In other words, the leather was real.
According to Li Du's knowledge, even fake mahogany furniture was not cheap because of the complexity of the process.
Among the various types of fake mahogany furniture, the most expensive ones were the ones made with leather. As long as the leather didn't fall off, it did not look much different from real mahogany furniture.
Since the wooden veneer and wooden planks on the outside were real, then the wooden veneer and wooden planks in the sixth storehouse should be the real deal.
There were also a few boxes of wood that Li Du did not pay much attention to. He subconsciously thought that they were just ordinary hardwood that was faked.
But now, it seemed that those could have been real mahogany. They were the raw materials that the gallery owner cut off!
Thinking of this, he hurriedly recalled the little bug and entered the sixth unit. He burrowed into the wood and looked carefully.
What made him feel helpless was that the knowledge of the mahogany industry was too profound. He could not tell the real identity of the wood just by looking at it.
However, he was sure that the wood inside had not been peeled or bleached.
He recalled the little bug and returned to the car, exhausted. He said helplessly, "Let's go back and rest."
Hans asked, "How is it?"
Li Du sighed. "Most of them are fake. I don't think they're worth much. But you can pray to your God that I made a mistake. Otherwise, I'm afraid the harvest this time won't be that great. "
Hearing this, Hans immediately became dejected. He said, "Even though I am now devoutly serving God, in this regard, I am more willing to trust you."
Li Du patted his shoulder and said, "It's not like there's nothing to gain. There's a storage unit that looks good. If the price isn't high, we can take the risk and take a gamble."
"What's the success rate?"
Li Du thought for a while and said guiltily, "At least half?"
Hans perked up again. "A 50% success rate? It's very high, brother. Let's bet! "
He slept until it was dark. After washing up, he opened the door and saw a Rottweiler sitting at the door.
Suddenly seeing such a big black dog, Li Du was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously muttered, "D * mn, could it be a dream within a dream? Are you still dreaming? "
As soon as he appeared, the strong Rottweiler bared its teeth and let out a low growl.
Ah Meow, who was lazing behind them, immediately perked up. Its eyes widened and it let out a loud meow. It lowered its body and walked forward with light and agile steps.
Seeing Ah Meow, the Rottweiler showed an expression of eagerness.
However, before it could attack, someone whistled at the corner of the corridor. It glared at Li Du and Ah Meow and ran over.
Li Du looked over in surprise and saw a familiar face. Frank Boll!
How did he meet Boll here? Li Du was confused. Boll mainly lived in the California area, and with Los Angeles as his home, he rarely left the rich state.
In fact, not only Boll, but treasure hunters from all over California rarely came to Arizona. In comparison, Arizona was too poor, and the chances of finding good items were too low.
Whistling, Boll called the Rottweiler back, and then gave Li Du a ferocious smile. He said, "Hey, Chinese friend, we meet again. Very good."
Borl didn't say anything harsh. After a quick greeting, he swaggered off.
Li Du stood at the door and blinked. He still felt like he was not fully awake.
Hans lived next door. He knocked on the door, and Hans's voice came from inside. "D * mn it, who is it?"
"It's me," Li Du said impatiently.
Hans said, "I'll look for you in half an hour. I have something important to do now! Something important! Something important! "
What important thing could this guy have? Li Du guessed that he was asking for a one-night stand. Otherwise, he would not be so agitated.
The opposite door opened, and Godzilla showed his face. "Boss, you're awake?"
Li Du asked, "What's Big Fox doing?"
"Fooling around with women." Godzilla gave him an unexpected answer.
Li Du asked, "Frank Boll brought the dog here? What's going on? "
Li Du asked. Big Quinn walked out and said, "Yes, Boss. Frank and York are here. They came here after lunch, and they don't look friendly."
Godzilla said, "Boss, be careful of Dog Ears."
"What's wrong?"
Godzilla frowned. "Dog Ears lives in the storage unit next door. I went out in the afternoon and heard Lil 'Rick with Casino Harris. He said he's going to teach you a lesson this time."
"Casino Harris?" Li Du asked. "The Native Americans are here too?"
"Yes."
Li Du frowned thoughtfully. He thought of the harsh words Lil 'Rick had said at the bar last night. Plus, Harris, who knew nothing about storage auctions, was also here. This was strange.
Big Quinn also noticed it. He said, "D * mn it, if only we had a bug. We would know what they're up to."
Hearing this, Li Du's heart skipped a beat. He went back to carry Ah Meow out and put a camera and a small walkie-talkie on it. He smiled and said, "Although we don't have a bug, we might be able to listen in on them."
These were the tools he had bought at Hoffman's Old Goods Market. He had only used them once during the auction of the old house and had not used them since.
Fortunately, he had always carried these tools with him. He had also brought Ah Meow with him, so they could be put to good use this time.
Li Du turned on the tablet and connected it to the signal. "We can receive wireless signals within a range of 20 feet. Let Ah Meow crawl into their house. Then we'll know what they say."
