When Lynch agreed to Li Du's terms, Andrew's expression turned ferocious. He shouted, "Are you crazy? Thirty thousand dollars for a bunch of trash room cards? There are plenty of them, you can buy one for ten dollars! "
Because it was a video call, Lynch heard Andrew's words clearly.
He said coldly, "Buddy, you know very well whether I'm crazy or not. To you, they might not be worth much, but to me, getting them back is a gift from God!"
Lynch's net worth was one of the highest in Flagstaff. He had an investment company that did similar work to the big four investment banks, but of course, on a much smaller scale.
Thirty thousand dollars was a huge sum of money for ordinary people, but for him, who often spent tens of thousands of dollars on rare stamps, it was peanuts.
Hearing that he had agreed to the deal, Hans shouted excitedly. He thanked Li Du profusely. "Thank you very much, buddy. We'll send the room cards to you as soon as possible."
After hanging up, he looked at Andrew and laughed. "Hey, Mr. Hundred Thousand Club, give us some valuable information on storage units."
"We're not in a hurry," Li Du added. "You can go back and ask around. Remember, don't try to fool us with valuable information on storage units. Otherwise, you'll be the one embarrassed."
The surrounding treasure hunters looked at them blankly. They couldn't even react. Most of them couldn't believe that the plot had turned around just like that.
Someone said weakly, "Andrew, could this be a trap set up by the Chinese? Or maybe he got someone to fake the price? "
The others looked at him as if he was an idiot.
"Don't you have a brain? If this Chinaman could order Lynch around in this area, why the hell would he bother with storage auctions?! "
"As long as there's income, he has to pay taxes. Wouldn't it be clear if we look at his tax records next time?"
"Sh * t, this rookie and that idiot Big Fox really won? Beat Andrew?! "
The crowd finally reacted and started to discuss animatedly.
A black man pulled Li Du aside and shouted, "Hey, buddy, how did you do it? This is unbelievable, I can't believe it! "
"Big Fox, you guys are really amazing now. Remember what we said at Big Beard's bar two years ago? I said you're a powerful b * stard! "
"The Hundred Thousand Club actually lost to the Ten Thousand Club. F * ck, Chinese, you really are our Ten Thousand Club's hero!"
The east wind prevailed over the west wind. Li Du won.
Andrew's face was livid. He glared at Li Du and shoved the electric guitar into the arms of one of his men. "D * mn it, let's go!"
At this time, a police car drove into the storage company. Two policemen got out of the car. They searched the crowd carefully and then walked over to block Andrew's way.
"Hello, Mr. Andrew?" A policeman asked politely.
Andrew said angrily, "It's me. What's the matter?"
Another policeman took out an iPad and showed him the video, asking, "Is that you?"
In the video, Andrew held a cigarette in his mouth and lit up a dollar bill. He then used the bill to light his cigarette.
The video was very clear. It was useless for Andrew to deny it. He said dryly, "Oh, sorry, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was …"
"You don't have to apologize to us. Get in the car. You need to call your lawyer. Now, we, the Williams Police Department, are asking you to go to the police station for investigation on the grounds that you deliberately damaged currency."
A pickup truck drove over. Hans poked his head out of the window and laughed. "Mr. Andrew, the United States Constitution states that no one is allowed to deliberately damage currency. Don't you know this law? Obviously, you need to learn more about the law. "
Andrew was furious. "You son of a b * tch, how dare you call the police to set me up!"
Hans glared at him. "Don't frame me. If I was the one who set you up, I wouldn't be here to laugh at you! Think about it. Think about how many people you've offended. I'm not the one who wants to see you make a fool of yourself the most! "
The pickup drove onto the road in the light of the setting sun and drove away.
Enjoying the evening breeze, Hans said, "Who called the police? Sh * t, you're a smart guy. "
Li Du took out a mobile phone and showed it to him. There was a video of Andrew using money to light his cigarette.
"Sh * t, you don't have a camera on your phone, right?"
"I have two phones. How can one phone be enough to roam the world? Besides, if I don't emphasize that my phone doesn't have a camera and can't record, wouldn't Andrew suspect me? "
Hans exclaimed, "You're so bad! But I like it, haha! "
Li Du said, "How is this bad? This is called being a good Samaritan. "
A few cars caught up with them. A Dodge Ram pickup truck drove closer. A burly man in sunglasses shouted, "Let's get high tonight? Let's celebrate your victory! "
Hans also shouted, "Alright, let's go deliver the room cards first, then you guys treat me to get high together!"
The burly man in sunglasses gave them the middle finger, and the Dodge Ram sped forward.
The meeting place was still at the Golden Aquitaine.
Unlike the previous time, Lynch did not have the demeanor of a calm and collected CEO. He was pacing back and forth. When he saw them, he immediately went up to them and said, "Where are the room cards?"
Hans handed him the big box in his arms. There were more than 400 room cards. Although they were well organized, they still took up a lot of space.
Lynch was like a virgin touching a beautiful woman for the first time. His hands were shaking, his eyes were blank, and his lips were trembling. Li Du found it hard to understand his excitement.
When he had first found the room cards, he had thought they were worthless. But when he saw the two names on them, he did a search on the internet and knew that they had some value.
Many of these room cards came in sets, and it was not easy to collect them.
As he had hoped, the room cards were sold for a good price. But he did not expect Lynch to care so much about these room cards.
The CEO explained, "You guys have helped me a lot. When we lost these room cards two years ago, Agatha and I almost broke down.
"To you guys, these are just small cards. To me and Agatha, these are the proof of our love and life. From our first date, we started collecting room cards. Since then, no matter where we go, we will collect hotel room cards. "
Hans was shocked. "Wait, you guys went to a hotel on your first date?"
Lynch blinked. "Buddy, your focus is really strange. But do you think it's difficult with my charm?"
Hans gave him a thumbs up. "Awesome!"
Li Du said, "Collecting room cards is a good hobby. I always feel that the value of the room cards should be far greater than operating the elevator, opening the door, and getting electricity."
Lynch laughed. "You're right, Agatha and I think so too. We can spy on the hotel's aesthetic taste and accomplishments through the room cards. In addition, we can collect our travel memories through the room cards. Isn't that great?"
