September 12 was a great day.
On September 12, 1943, the Soviet Union launched Operation Oak to rescue Mussolini. Unfortunately, they succeeded.
On September 12, 1948, the mighty Liaoshen Campaign began, and the Chinese people began the most powerful chapter in modern history of the Great Unification.
On September 12, 1959, Luna II successfully landed on the moon, which meant that the people of Earth had the ability to send things to other planets!
Hans was very familiar with this information. He sat in the campsite, soaking his feet as he lectured Li Du and the others.
"On September 12, 1985, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development requested that the trade debts of underdeveloped countries be cancelled. This was a great proposal, but what was even more amazing was that on September 12, 1980, a child was born …"
At this point, Hans looked at the crowd, and then fixed his gaze on Li Du. "Li, you know who this is, right? Use your loud voice to tell everyone … "
Li Du sighed. "A bad guy was born. His arrival made Flagstaff, and even the whole of America, a mess. He is Hans Fox!"
"Wrong, it's Yao-Ming, your China Yao! The NBA Yao Ming! "Hans laughed." The great Big Fox was born in 1981, haha! "
Li Du gave him the middle finger. This b * stard was setting a trap for him!
A delivery truck drove over, and Hannah ran over to pick up a big cake. Stephen helped her carry it over. The cake was big and fragrant; Li Du could smell the aroma even before the box was opened.
Ah Meow and Crispy Noodles licked their mouths and sat obediently beside Li Du, waiting for the cake to be distributed.
Big Quinn was preparing to barbecue. He dug a big pit in the campsite and made a mud pit grill, which was a common barbecue tool in Central and South America.
Some big meat skewers were rotating in the pit, and the fire was strong outside. The fat on the skewers flowed out under the high temperature, making a moving sizzling sound.
Godzilla gave him a bottle of beer, and the two men sat together and drank. The scene was quite domineering.
Hannah bought a crab from the supermarket. She only bought one, but when she took it out, it was frighteningly big, at least five or six pounds.
"What kind of crab is this?" Li Du asked in surprise.
"Australian King Crab, the biggest one in Flagstaff, I bought it," Hannah said happily.
"How much does this cost?" Big Quinn asked. His children had also been clamoring for crab, but they had not bought it.
Although Arizona was close to California, and California was rich in seafood, Flagstaff was located in the north-central region of Arizona. It was very far from the coastline, and it was difficult to keep food fresh in the desert, so seafood was very expensive.
Hannah said, "Oh, it's quite expensive. It's 1,400 dollars."
Li Du smacked his lips. "Young lady, you've become more willing to spend money now."
He had shared a room with Hannah before and knew that she was a thrifty girl. Back then, when they had shared a room for half a year, he had never seen Hannah buy food that cost more than 100 yuan.
Hannah giggled. "Money is just a number to me now."
"Awesome." Li Du gave him a thumbs up.
Hans said exasperatedly, "The Hulk is not domineering. I gave her all the money!"
Normally, he would give half of his income to the welfare home, a quarter to Hannah, and the remaining quarter to himself.
Hannah was not a big spender like him. She had saved up all the money that Hans had given her. She had saved up quite a lot of money over the past half a year. Now, she had two to three hundred thousand dollars on hand.
"How do you eat the King crab?" Stephen asked. He had never eaten this type of crab before.
The United States was rich in crabs, such as Maine and Alaska.
Especially Alaska, which also produced a type of King crab, but not this one. This King crab came from Australia, which was why it was so expensive.
Stephen's family was very ordinary. He had never come into contact with an imported crab that cost a month's salary, so he did not know how to cook it.
Hannah simply said, "Roast it!"
Li Du rolled his eyes. "You guys only know how to roast it. This needs to be steamed and then dipped in sauce. Come on, leave it to me."
He was about to clean up the big crab when Hans's phone rang. After a few words, Hans stood up and said, "Li, something's wrong."
"What's wrong?" Li Du asked calmly.
Hans said, "It's Turis and Olly. Didn't they go to Derta? They fell into a trap. They lost a lot there! "
Li Du asked, "How much? They're all experts. How could they fall into a trap? "
Storage auctions often had traps. Some were set up by the storage companies themselves, while others were set up by the renters.
Just like when Li Du had dealt with Reginald, Rambis, and the others, he had found a few storage units, put a bunch of fake goods in them, and then sold them to treasure hunters.
There were two types of storage auctions. The most common was the storage company's auction, and the other was a commissioned auction. The renters entrusted the storage company to auction off their stuff.
The latter type was usually a trap. The renters could earn money from the auction and make money from it.
Hans had once told Li Du that there was a period in history when these kinds of commissioned auctions traps appeared frequently. The storage auction industry almost collapsed because of it.
Later, the storage companies united and refused to accept commissioned auctions. Coupled with the market restructuring, the industry eventually recovered.
The people of Arizona were tough. In recent years, it had been rare to see such tricked storage auctions. This was because some treasure hunters had bad tempers. When they found out that they had been tricked, they would take revenge on the instigator.
Hans chatted on the phone for a while. Li Du's phone also rang. When he saw that it was Olly, he sighed and picked it up.
He knew why Olly was calling. He was definitely looking for him to seek justice and resolve this matter.
However, this matter had nothing to do with him. He had no obligation to interfere, especially since Hans' birthday was coming up. He did not want to spoil his mood because of this.
However, he had to pick up the phone. If he could help, he would still do it.
Once the call was connected, Olly's cursing could be heard. "These b * stards, those Californian bitches deserve to die! D * stards! D * stards! Li, we've been tricked. We've been tricked by these two b * stards, Frank and York! "
Li Du said, "Speak slowly. How did they trick you?"
It was the commissioned auctions. Frank and York got a bunch of fake goods and put them in storage units. While the treasure hunters were unprepared, they tricked them into buying the storage units at a high price.
After Olly was confused for a while, Li Du finally figured out what had happened.
He hung up and saw that Hans was changing his clothes. He asked, "What's up?"
Hans said, "Let's go. Looks like I won't be able to celebrate my birthday this year."
Li Du said, "There's no need for that. You can celebrate your birthday as usual. This matter —"
"This matter is targeted at you!" Hans interrupted him. "We have to go take a look."
Yes, Li Du also knew that this matter was targeted at him.
Frank and York were punishing the chicken to warn the monkey. Li Du was the monkey. Turis, Olly, and the others were the fish in the moat.
