When Hans returned, he heard Kellan chasing Frank and the others away.
He looked at Li Du in surprise and secretly gave him a thumbs up. Smart, really smart.
Seeing that the policeman was about to push them away, Frank and the others had to leave the office.
Before leaving, Frank said, "You'll regret this, Kellan Pratt. Trust this guy, you'll regret this!"
They were able to stay and drink beer and coffee with the Pratt brothers because they had helped each other earn money.
However, Li Du had asked Turis and the others and found out that they had earned less than 10,000 dollars. After deducting the labor and raw materials, each of them had earned at most 4,000 dollars.
Compared to the value of the storage company, 4,000 dollars was nothing. The storage units and the land here were worth at least 200,000 dollars!
Four thousand versus 200,000 — it was obvious who would be chased away.
Before Li Du came in, he had already thought of a plan. He knew that he would definitely be able to chase these scumbags out.
Outside the office was a group of excited treasure hunters. Rick looked out of the window and hesitated. "Are we really going out? D * mn it, d * mn it! "
Frank said forcefully, "We're going out, what's there to be afraid of? Officer Pratt is here, if they dare to do anything — "
"Officer Pratt won't care," Li Du interrupted him and laughed.
Frank and the others became nervous and quickly looked at the policeman.
Most treasure hunters belonged to the lower class of society. They were uneducated and uncultured, and liked to solve problems with their fists.
There were more than 20 of them outside. If they really got into a fight, the three of them would be killed.
The policeman tightened his belt and said, "Derta is a simple and honest town. There won't be any fights, right?"
Li Du said, "Yes, at most it'll be a friendly fight."
The policeman wanted to give him a hard time, but after hearing what Li said, he thought about it and nodded. "The police won't care about friendly fights."
"Sh * t, you b * stard!" Frank panicked. This was a classic example of not admitting to anything.
The policeman was also hot-tempered. Or rather, he was used to being a tyrant in the town.
After being scolded by Frank, he raised his fist and was about to hit him.
Kellan, on the other hand, was calm. He stopped his cousin while York dragged Borl out of the door.
Li Du gave Hans a look, and Hans sneered, "I'll get everyone to teach them a lesson!"
"No, tell everyone not to do anything."
"Huh?" Hans was shocked.
Li Du said, "You didn't hear wrongly. Don't do anything to them. I have my own arrangements!"
Just like that, when they walked out, only curses could be heard from outside. Frank's was the loudest and most arrogant. "Yes, I planned this. I want to teach you country bumpkins a lesson. Aren't you all following behind Li's ass? Follow him again! "
Hearing his words, Kellan said with a gloomy face, "D * mn Californian, if not for our business dealings, I really want to beat this b * stard up!"
"I couldn't hold it in any longer. Who gave him a natural sense of superiority? It's like he's not from Los Angeles but from heaven. "The white policeman was also indignant.
Li Du smiled. "Your business dealings are to cheat those treasure hunters out there, right?"
Kellan immediately said, "No, of course not. I don't know what you're talking about."
Li Du said, "Don't be in a hurry to deny it. Let me finish. I'm very serious about investigating your storage company because I really want to take it over. "
"Is that so?" Kellan had more or less believed him. After all, the information that Li Du had just revealed did show that he wanted to buy the storage company.
If a person did not intend to buy a storage company, he would not go through so much effort to investigate the background of the person, and even bribe the tax bureau.
Li Du said, "The reason I want to take over a storage company is to deal with some things. I'm a treasure hunter, but I don't want to be a treasure hunter forever. I want to start a company."
Kellan nodded. "Young people should have ideas and ambition. But why did you come to such a remote place to buy a storage company?"
Li Du said, "Because I don't have much money now. I can only buy a relatively cheap storage company. Also, I want to test the waters first, so I don't dare to invest too much money."
Kellan felt that something was wrong, but Li Du continued talking. He could only continue listening.
Li Du said, "I originally had two targets. One was your storage company, and the other was Jerome's Red Rock Storage Company. But now it seems that Red Rock is more suitable. "
"Why?"
Li Du said, "Forgive me for being blunt, but your storage company is now in trouble. Look, you guys set a trap to deal with treasure hunters. The storage auction association will put your company on their blacklist. "
"If I take over, what will I do with the things in my storage? Is that right? So to be honest, I'm interested in this place, but I'm hesitant. "
Kellan frowned, his face gloomy. No one knew what he was thinking.
Li Du said again, "Do you know why I'm here? Do you know why they called me here when they were tricked? "
"Because you're their leader?" the white policeman asked.
Li Du laughed. "How could that be? I'm Chinese, and Chinese people are the most marginalized in the treasure hunting industry."
Kellan nodded slowly. He had worked in the storage industry for more than 20 years, so he knew about this. Also, he had never heard of any powerful Chinese treasure hunters from Arizona.
"They called me here because I've been asking about your company and wanted to take it over. Now that this has happened, they want me to see the situation clearly and not take over this company. "
Hearing this, the white policeman scolded, "D * mn, d * mn Californians, you've done a lot of harm!"
Kellan glared at him. This was equivalent to admitting to the question Li Du had asked them earlier. They had indeed teamed up with Frank and the others to set a trap for the treasure hunters outside.
He pondered for a while and looked at Li Du. "What do you think?"
Li Du said helplessly, "What can I think? I want to talk to you about the deal, but I don't want to take over a company that's on our blacklist! "
Kellan said, "I can handle this. As long as the association can't prove that I was involved in the design of this trap, the company won't be blacklisted."
Li Du shook his head. "They'll find evidence. You probably know that those b * stards who teamed up with you are treasure hunters. In order to survive in this industry, they'll put all the blame on you."
Kellan clenched his teeth and said, "We'll make the first move. I'll take out the money they gave me and return it to the treasure hunters outside. I'll reconcile with them and sue those Californians to the association."
Li Du pondered for a while and said, "That's a good idea."
The white policeman stood up and said, "Cousin, I'll call the people outside in?"
Kellan nodded. Just as the white policeman was about to leave, he suddenly frowned. "Don't worry, Li. I can return my portion of the money to these people to prevent the company from being blacklisted."
"But what if you don't buy my storage company in the future?"
In the end, he still didn't trust Li Du.
Of course, Kellan would be too naive to trust someone he had only met once.
