The full name of HPRS Resort was Horse-Pass-ResortSpa, which represented a type of wild horse native to Arizona. However, like the bison that once spread across North America, this type of wild horse had been hunted to extinction by Americans.
Li Du was reluctant to stay at the entrance of the resort because it was a Native American resort owned by the famous Hila River Tribe. It claimed to have gathered the healing and wisdom of the Native Americans and was known for its luxury.
The Hila River Tribe and the Comanche Tribe were allies. Li Du and the Comanche Casino were not very happy.
Hans wanted to go in and take a look. He said excitedly, "Buddy, you should go in too. There are comfortable rooms, a spacious golf course, an equestrian center and spa facilities. It's a good place for a vacation."
Li Du patted the back of the car and said, "Bringing a bunch of mahogany on vacation? Are you kidding me? "
Hans continued to tempt him. "There's also a water slide that's based on the Hohokan Ruins. You must have never seen it before."
Li Du rolled his eyes and said, "Of course, I don't even know what the Hohokan Ruins are."
Hans said, "It's the remains of a Native American canal that once shaped the glory of the Phoenix Native American tribe. It was once abandoned, and then Sweeling led people to build a series of irrigation canals on its foundation.
"In this way, not only did it effectively solve the problem of drinking water and watering, but it also allowed a large area of farmland in Phoenix to be used. It also attracted a lot of people to build a colony, which is how Phoenix City is today."
After listening to his detailed explanation, Li Du nodded and said, "Oh, I still don't want to go in."
Hans was speechless.
Not long after they arrived at the entrance of the resort, a snow-white Lamborghini drove over.
The curves of this sports car were very beautiful, the paint was shiny, and every part of it revealed the beauty of machinery. It was definitely a road star.
Hans shifted his gaze and said, "Beautiful white bat, a good car. Maybe I should save up. I want to buy a Lamborghini too. "
Godzilla said, "Those who drive Lamborghinis are all sissies!"
Big Quinn added, "And they're flamboyant rich kids!"
Li Du said, "You guys just don't have the money to buy it, so you're jealous."
The two strong men looked at each other and said dejectedly, "Well, boss, you're right."
The speeding Lamborghini finally stopped in front of them. The window rolled down, and a young man with colorful hair poked his head out and asked, "Li Du?"
Li Du was stunned and asked, "Wright Chen?"
He didn't expect his compatriot to be so high-profile. Not only did he drive a Lamborghini, but he also had this messy thing on his head. Were all artists like this?
The young man smiled and got out of the car to give him a hug. He said, "Yes, yes, I'm White Chen. You can call me Chinese. My name is Chen Haonan."
Li Du was shocked. "Huh?"
Hao Nan was the boss of Causeway Bay. All the Chinese teenagers should know that.
The young man laughed. "I can't help it. My dad gave me such a domineering name. But actually, when I was born, 'Young and Dangerous' hadn't even started filming yet. Everything was just a coincidence."
Li Du shook hands with him and said, "Hello, Brother Hao Nan. Shall we go next?"
Chen Haonan waved and said, "Follow me, I'll take you to my studio."
Seeing that the other party was driving an expensive Lamborghini, Li Du was not worried anymore. People who could afford such a car wouldn't do anything to a piece of wood that was worth tens of thousands of dollars.
Tempe was a big city with a population of 1.6 to 1.7 million people. Flagstaff couldn't compare to it.
With a large population and a lot of farmland, Tempe was naturally very large. There were also vast rural areas around it.
Chen Haonan drove them through a lot of twists and turns on the road. Finally, after a few rounds of farmland, they entered a small canyon.
His studio was located at the end of the small canyon. It was a villa hidden in the mountains and had a modern style. The exterior seemed to be made of stainless steel, which sparkled under the sun.
The car stopped. Chen Haonan smiled and said, "How's my studio?"
Li Du looked at the villa and said, "It's very creative. It must have cost a lot to build it here."
Chen Haonan sighed, "Yeah, I've been in America for two years. All the money I earned was used to buy this car and build this house."
Li Du was shocked and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Haonan. You're a famous carver. I'm really sorry for my ignorance."
On the way, Hans had told him that the car cost about four to five hundred thousand dollars. In a city like Tempe, a modern villa would cost at least a million dollars.
Chen Haonan had earned 1.4 to 1.5 million dollars in two years. He must be a famous carver.
Hearing Li Du's words, he waved his hand and said, "Famous for what? I'm not a famous carver, I'm not that famous. "
Li Du said, "You're too humble. Earning a million dollars in two years — that's not something an ordinary carver can do."
Chen Haonan asked curiously, "Who told you I earned a million dollars in two years?"
Li Du said, "This car and villa cost at least a million dollars, right?"
Chen Haonan said, "Yes, it cost a total of 1.9 million dollars, but I only paid 20,000. My dad still gave me 1.88 million."
Li Du didn't want to talk to him anymore. This guy didn't play by the rules.
Seeing the change in Li Du's expression, Chen Haonan suddenly laughed. "Haha, you've been tricked by me. I was just joking."
Li Du smiled bitterly. "I thought it was a joke too —"
Chen Haonan interrupted him and continued, "How could I have earned 20,000 dollars? I didn't even earn 2,000 dollars. It was my dad who gave me two million! "
Li Du didn't even have the mood to change his expression. Not only was this guy not playing by the rules, but he was also trying to ruin the game.
However, by joking around with him like this, the two of them had unknowingly gotten closer to each other.
Chen Haonan was obviously a second-generation rich kid, but he wasn't as arrogant as the rich kids on the internet. He liked to joke around, but his jokes weren't funny.
From the outside, the villa looked high-end and classy. But after entering, Li Du realized that the house was a mess. There were carving knives, molds, blueprints, and snacks everywhere.
Chen Haonan kicked off his shoes and opened the big fridge. "What do you guys want to drink? Beer, Coke, juice, mineral water? "
"Mineral water," Li Du said.
Chen Haonan said, "Sorry, there's no mineral water."
Li Du was stunned. "Didn't you just ask me if I wanted to drink mineral water?"
Chen Haonan said matter-of-factly, "Yes, but I didn't say I had mineral water here. I asked if you wanted to drink or not. What does it have to do with whether I have it here or not?"
Li Du smiled bitterly. "Alright, it doesn't matter. Give me a bottle of juice."
"Sorry, there's no juice either."
Li Du was speechless.
