After watching the fun, Li Du and the others avoided Frank and York, who were still arguing with the seafood stall owner. It seemed like it would not be easy for them to leave.
The black stall owner was worried that his pike was too many to sell. Now that someone had come to take over, how could he let them go so easily?
Based on Li Du's understanding of the black people at the bottom of society, the stall owner would lose if he did not blackmail Frank.
As the group left, Turis still did not understand. "How did he collapse? Did that b * stard's legs really turn to jelly? "
"Maybe he has high blood pressure? I have an uncle with high blood pressure. He's always dizzy and often collapses for no reason. "
"That's impossible. Frank's temper is so bad. If he had high blood pressure, his blood vessels would have burst long ago."
Li Du said, "It's none of our business. Let's hurry up and go back. This d * mn weather, why is it still so hot?"
In September, the sun hung high in the sky. Autumn had arrived, and the leaves of some maple trees by the roadside were turning yellow and red. However, the sun was still hot.
As the group went to pick out their things, he looked at the time and called home.
Now that he was not short of money, he did not care about the cost of international calls. He called home every few days.
Li Du's parents were worried about the phone bill, but they were happy to be able to talk to their son and learn about his situation.
Parents did not expect their children to be successful, as long as they were healthy and safe.
However, in the eyes of Li Du's parents, their son was a promising child. He sent home about eight to ten thousand dollars a week, which was at least thirty to forty thousand dollars a month.
This time, Li Du said, "Dad, I've saved ten thousand dollars to send back to you. Spend it as much as you can at home."
Li Du's father said hesitantly, "You saved ten thousand dollars so quickly? Is it so easy to earn American money? "
Li Du said, "No, it's easy to earn after the exchange rate changes. You see, ten thousand dollars is only a little more than a thousand dollars."
"That's true." Li Du's father nodded. A thousand dollars was not difficult to earn in China. When he was healthy, he worked at a construction site and earned more than two thousand dollars a week.
"Then don't tire yourself out too much," Li Du's mother interrupted.
Li Du said, "I'm not tired, not tired at all. I'm different from you. I'm a talent now, understand? I work with my brain, and I follow my tutor to research projects. The American government funds it, so it's easy to earn money. "
Li's mother said worriedly, "You didn't embezzle money from the project, did you? In the past, your father and the other labor contractors always did this, and in the end, they were arrested and sent to prison … "
Before she could finish, Father Li was dissatisfied and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Don't you know your son's temperament? Our son would never do such a thing! "
Li Du chuckled. "Of course, why would I put myself in jail for such a small amount of money? Don't worry, we'll go back after the New Year. "
Li Du's father said, "Alright, you know what you're doing. There's no rush to come back. Americans don't celebrate the new year, right? If you don't have time, you don't have to come back. Just stay there and work. "
Mother Li said angrily, "Are you trying to tire your son to death?"
Li Du's father was also angry. "Old women have long hair but short eyes. Our son is busy with his career now. Look at our entire county, which family's child can earn so much money after studying abroad?"
Li Du's mother was even angrier. "No, son, you must rest! As long as we have enough money, our family is not short of money. Your father and I have saved up hundreds of thousands for you! "
Li Du hurriedly tried to calm the two of them down. In his heart, he lamented that it had not been easy for his parents. They had worked hard for half their lives, sweated and suffered, and yet they had only saved up hundreds of thousands of dollars.
For him, if the profit from a single business was less than ten thousand dollars, he would not be willing to do it.
After hanging up, he was just about to buy some smokeless charcoal when his phone rang again.
When he saw that it was Ma Zhi-an, he felt strange and answered, "Hello, Brother Ma, what's the matter?"
Ma Zhi-an's hearty laughter came first. "Haha, haha, Xiao Li, good morning. You're treating me like an outsider. What's the matter, can't Brother Ma call you if there's nothing?"
Li Du said, "I didn't mean that, Brother Ma. I'm just afraid of delaying your business."
Ma Zhi-an laughed. "I know, I'm just joking. It's like this, there's really something, but it's something related to you."
"What is it?"
"I remember that you work in storage auctions, right? Today, I was sorting out the members' information, and I happened to find some compatriots who work similar to yours. "
Ma Zhi-an paused and continued, "So I thought that maybe you guys could help each other out. I've sorted out their information. If you need it, I'll send it to your mailbox."
Li Du said, "Thank you, Brother Ma, but is this appropriate?"
Ma Zhi-an said, "Why not? These compatriots I found, a few of them are warehouse keepers of storage companies, and one of them is an auctioneer. You guys can contact each other, maybe you can help each other out. "
Hearing this, Li Du's interest was piqued.
Indeed, these connections were useful to him. Auctioneers and warehouse keepers had a lot of information needed for storage auctions. Most of the channels that treasure hunters used to obtain information came from them.
With that, Li Du did not stand on ceremony and thanked Ma Zhi-an profusely.
Ma Zhi-an said, "Don't stand on ceremony with Brother Ma. We're in the same organization, so we can't just shout slogans. We have to really help each other out."
Li Du said, "It has to be like this. If Brother Ma has any compatriots who need my help, I'll do my best!"
"Haha, alright, go ahead with your work. Pay attention to your mailbox later."
Ma Zhi-an straightforwardly explained the situation and hung up the phone. A few minutes later, Li Du's cell phone rang. He opened his mailbox and saw that a document had been sent.
He browsed through the information. After a while, Turis and the others came back with wine, meat, dishes, and daily necessities. They said excitedly, "Big Li, let's go back and have a party!"
They had all made a profit from yesterday's storage auction, and it was thanks to Li Du's guidance. Hence, they were very grateful to him.
After making money, they had also made up their minds to support Li Du as the Treasure Hunting Tycoon.
The former members of the Hundred Thousand Club, whether it was Dog Ears Rick or Cocky Andrew, only cared about making money for themselves. They would never help the others get rich.
Li Du was different. Even when he was in Los Angeles, he had stood up for the ordinary treasure hunters many times. Everyone had tacitly agreed that he was the leader.
As they drove away from the market, they saw Frank and York carrying nets with both hands. There were pike jumping around in the nets.
Li Du drove over, lowered the window, and shouted, "Guys, you guys like fish so much? It's good to eat more fish. You'll become smarter and smarter. "
Frank immediately went crazy when he saw him. It was as if he had been bewitched by Bloodlust.
He waved his hand and threw a net of pike at them. He shouted, "Son of a b * tch, go to hell!"
The net was not strong enough. It was smashed by his swing, and several large pike were thrown over.
Li Du slowed down the flow of time, and like a baseball player catching a ball, he caught a pike flying toward him with both hands.
Then, he threw the pike into the truck and waved. "Thanks, buddy. We won't stand on ceremony. Goodbye! That's great, we'll have fish for dinner tonight! "
The pickup truck left a trail of dust behind it and sped away.
