Seeing the belt, a middle-aged man beside Andrew laughed. "Rookie, for God's sake, I really don't want to laugh at you, but why do you always overestimate yourselves? Just because of this belt? "
Andrew frowned. "Don't laugh, this belt does have some value."
He took the belt and analyzed, "This should be a genuine SS belt. Look at the eagle's head. The left represents Germany, and the right represents the Nazis. It's on the right, so this is the SS belt."
He flipped the belt over. There were two lightning bolts on the back of the buckle. The SS was abbreviated as the SS, and the lightning was a mimic of the SS, so it was seen as the symbol of the organization.
"Sh * t, there's the SS symbol," Andrew continued. "This is an SS officer's belt before 1929. If I'm not wrong, this belt buckle is also a weapon. These four buttons are the triggers, and when pressed, the bullets will be fired."
The SS was formed in April 1925. In the beginning, it was only Hitler's bodyguard and a tool to deal with political enemies. It was a small force under the command of the Stormtroopers.
In 1929, this force was led by Himmler, and the SS began to expand rapidly. By the beginning of 1933, its members had grown to more than 50,000.
Because of the rapid expansion, the equipment of the members was not as good as before. For example, the belts later lost the SS symbol.
From July 1934, the SS replaced the Stormtroopers as the leader of the Nazi terrorist organization. Under Hitler's direct control, it gradually developed into an intelligence, surveillance, torture, and execution organization. It was equivalent to the Imperial Secret Service of the Ming Dynasty in China. Therefore, their equipment was like a secret agent, with all kinds of secret functions.
The belt buckle opened, and there were indeed four empty spaces. Li Du thought of the small box he found earlier. After opening it, there were some brass bullets.
Hans took the belt back, put the bullets in, and closed the belt buckle. The combination was seamless!
Li Du looked at Andrew and said, "Although you have a bad temper, I have to say that you have good taste. You do know a lot."
Andrew sneered. "Of course, when I found out about this belt, you were still suckling in your mother's arms. The value of this belt is not as high as you think. At most, it can sell for 10,000 dollars. "
The surrounding treasure hunters looked at him with envy and jealousy.
"Sh * t, this guy is so lucky to have found such a good thing."
"D * mn, why is God blessing the yellow people?"
"So what? He's going to lose anyway, no matter how lucky he is! "
Hans looked at the belt over and over again. He even buckled it to his waist. He ignored the smug Andrew and the people around him who were laughing at them with jealousy.
"Our goal has been achieved." He even winked at Li Du.
In any case, they didn't care about winning or losing. All they cared about was whether or not they could make money. The bet this time was just to follow Andrew to freeload on storage units.
The reason why Hans was in low spirits earlier was that he had not gained anything from this storage unit. Now that he had found a military officer's belt that was worth 10,000 dollars, he was naturally happy.
Andrew crooked his finger at Li Du and said, "Come on, Chinaman, you've lost the bet. Give me the information on the storage units. Remember, I want quality warehouses. Don't try to fool me, or I'll make sure you can't survive in this industry! "
Li Du shrugged and said, "I don't have information on high-quality storage units."
Andrew's expression changed. He pointed a finger at Li Du's chest and said, "If you don't, then get lost. Don't even think about being a treasure hunter anymore!"
Li Du said, "But I haven't finished taking my stuff. You think you've won?"
As soon as he said this, the treasure hunters who were booing him and Andrew were stunned.
Hans was also stunned. He said, "My dear buddy, what other treasures haven't you taken out? You've been hiding it from me! "
Li Du pointed to the passenger seat and said, "I didn't hide it from you. I showed it to you from the beginning. It's there."
Hans opened the door. Ah Meow was lying on the passenger seat, holding onto a box. Just as he was about to reach out, Ah Meow quickly gave him a paw, a fierce look in his eyes.
"Ah Meow, give it to him. He's one of us," Li Du said calmly.
"Meow." Ah Meow meowed and removed its paw from the box. Hans took it out. There were a lot of cards arranged neatly.
Seeing these room cards, Andrew couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Are you crazy? Buddy, you want to beat me with a bunch of shabby hotel room cards? You're as naive as a snowman next to a Christmas tree, haha. "
Li Du said, "It's not up to us to say whether it's valuable or not. It's up to the person who collected it."
He took out a few cards and asked Hans, "Can't you see the hidden value of these room cards?"
Hans shook his head. "Hey, don't keep me guessing, buddy."
"There's a name on it," Li Du reminded him.
Hans took a closer look. Indeed, there were two names on each room card: Russell Lynch and Agatha Lynch.
As he was looking at the cards, Li Du was already on the phone. "Hi, Mr. Lynch, this is Li. I used to sell you stamps. Do you remember me?"
"Yes, I remember you, China kid. You guys packed a lot of steaks the last time," Lynch laughed.
"I'm sorry about the last time. That's why I've come to inform you after I found some good stuff."
"What good stuff? What stamps? "
"Not stamps, but room cards. Hilton, Park Hyatt, Amy, Langham, Mandarin Oriental, and other hotel room cards. There's a total of more than four hundred."
Hearing this, Lynch immediately cried out, "God! God, I love you! Where are you? Tell me quickly, where are you? I'll go find you now! "
Li Du said, "I'm in Williams City. It's getting late. How about we video call first? You take a look at these room cards. If you're interested, give me a price. If it's okay, I'll send them to you tonight."
"Okay, hurry up!"
Li Du said to Hans, "Video call Mr. Lynch."
A group of treasure hunters looked at them curiously, not knowing what he was up to. Andrew, who was beside them, heard Lynch's words and looked a little uneasy.
Hans said, "Why aren't you doing it?"
Li Du showed him his phone. "This lousy phone's camera is broken."
"You're so thrifty."
Hans sent the video call request, and Lynch immediately accepted it. Then he looked at the room cards. After a while, he asked Li Du to turn a few of them over and over for him to see.
After looking at them, he said, "Good fella, how did you know these are my treasures?"
Li Du laughed. "I don't know, but I noticed that every room card has your and your wife's names on it. So I thought that if someone collected the room cards and signed them, they would definitely treat them like treasures. After all, the room cards are in such good condition, and many of them come in sets. "
Lynch laughed happily. "You're a smart fella, Li. You're a smart b * stard! Yes, these room cards are our treasures. We used to bring them with us no matter where we went.
"Then one day, we suddenly realized that they were gone. You don't know how depressed we were. It turns out that I'd left them in Williams City. I should have guessed it. We often spend our holidays here.
"Now, they're in your hands. Name a price."
Li Du turned the camera around so that he could see the crowd. Then, he told them about his bet with Andrew.
Lynch said, "How much more do you need to win?"
He was a smart man, and he could guess Li Du's motive.
Li Du said, "We have a great leather belt. It's worth 10,000 dollars. Our opponent has a guitar worth 30,000 dollars, and other instruments. I estimate that we can sell them for 35,000 dollars."
"So for safety, you want to sell them for at least 30,000 dollars?"
"Yes."
