Li Du fulfilled his promise. That night, he bought a lot of wine and meat for the party.
Knowing that he had built a siege tower, Sophie also came to watch after work.
Li Du brought her to the top floor of the siege tower and said, "There should be a tower here. You can change into ancient Greek clothes and become Queen Helen. I will bring troops to attack the city and take you away."
Sophie laughed. "Which troops will you bring? Ah Meow, Crispy Noodles, and Ah Ow? "
Li Du looked down at Ah Ow, who was only a little bit on the ground, and laughed. "Forget it. If I rely on them, I will be left behind."
Ah Ow did not have the demeanor of her ancestors, the Mexican wolf. She was afraid of heights.
Li Du had wanted to carry her up, but she kept howling and peeing, which disgusted Li Du.
Li Du thought that she was trying to take over the territory again, but when he put her down on the top floor of the siege tower, she was so scared that she almost died. Li Du then realized that she was afraid of heights.
The siege tower became a good toy for Ah Meow. Pet cats liked to play by jumping on the catwalk. Ah Meow played with high difficulty. He walked around the siege tower.
However, this was not difficult for him. The ocelot's heels could turn 180 degrees. In the jungle, they could jump with their forelegs and hind legs and hold on to branches. They could use this force to jump a long distance.
Ocelots could even be like monkeys, using only one of their limbs to swing on a tree branch.
Ah Meow walked up and down the siege tower as if it was flat ground.
After another day, the news about the siege towers spread far and wide.
In the information age, as long as something was interesting, it could quickly spread through the Internet. This was the case with the siege tower.
First, the treasure hunters took pictures and sent them to Facebook and Twitter. Then, their friends thought it was interesting and shared it. In a day, many people knew about the siege tower.
The treasure hunters knew more about it. This time, Li Du had led the team to get many storage units in Tucson. It was no less than when he had dealt with Frank and York in Los Angeles.
Tucson had always been a forbidden place for Arizona treasure hunters. Generally, no one dared to provoke the Tucson gang. Otherwise, it would be difficult to get away with it.
However, not only did Li Du manage to escape, but he also managed to kill a wave of enemies. Through his strategy, he managed to obtain the siege tower from Princeps. That was impressive.
After the news spread, the nickname Princeps gave him also spread. Very few people called him the "Cunning Chinaman" anymore. Instead, they called him "Boy Wonder."
Only Olly, Dickens, Turis, and a few other friends of Li Du's that participated in the Tucson Brotherhood's operation. Most people didn't dare to go after hearing the news.
They regretted missing the opportunity to make money. Not only did they miss the valuable warehouse, but they also missed the opportunity to blackmail the Tucson Brotherhood.
Even if the goods in the warehouse could not be sold, Li Du and the others would still be able to make a profit. Their car had been smashed, and Princeps had to repair it and compensate each of them 10,000 dollars.
Most treasure hunters could not even earn 10,000 dollars in a season!
The people who were interested in the siege towers were mainly the rich and the Native American tribes. The former used siege towers to decorate their mansions, while the latter bought siege towers to renovate them and use them for tourism.
With the popularity of the global tourism industry, many Native American tribes took advantage of this trend and showcased their tribal culture and lifestyle to attract tourists to make money.
According to the agreement, Hans was in charge of the sales. Li Du did not care and went to rest.
Seeing this, Big Quinn found him and asked, "Boss, are you free these days?"
Li Du said, "Yes, buddy. What's the problem?"
Big Quinn said, "No problem, boss. I want to ask you a favor. I want to buy a house. You know, this is a big deal. I want you to look at a house for me."
Li Du smiled bitterly. "I'd love to help you, Big Quinn, but I don't know anything about houses. In fact, I've never bought a house before."
Big Quinn said, "But you have very good observation skills. You can help me check if there are any problems with the house. I'll take care of the other problems."
Hearing this, Li Du agreed without hesitation. "Okay, when do you want to look at the house?"
"This afternoon."
Li Du said, "You're fast."
Of course, Big Quinn wanted to be fast. If he did not have to build the siege tower yesterday, he would have gone to look at the house when he came back yesterday.
Unlike most Americans, he owned a house. This was similar to the Chinese, who had a special passion for their own house and loved a good house.
Big Quinn had long wanted to move out of Bones Community, but he had no money. When he worked as a janitor, he could not even pay the mortgage for the house in Bones Community.
Now, Li Du gave them all kinds of dividends, and Godzilla lent his savings to Big Quinn. This way, Big Quinn had enough money to buy a new house.
Big Quinn had his eyes on Pine Tree Tops. Li Du said, "Are you sure? Pine Tree Tops is a building. It doesn't have a separate door or a courtyard. It might not be comfortable. "
Hearing this, Big Quinn laughed. "Boss, even if you have your own courtyard, it might not be comfortable. What I like is the security. Pine Tree Tops has good security."
This was true. Li Du had felt it when he lived there. Pine Tree Tops was like a small safe haven, and he felt at ease living there.
That day, Sophie was on her day off. Li Du remembered that she had bought a house before and was more experienced in buying a house. He dragged Sophie along to help, and the two of them spent some time together.
Sophie was indeed experienced. After they met up, she asked Big Quinn, "What kind of house do you want to buy? Which T?"
Big Quinn did not answer. Li Du was puzzled. "T?"
Sophie explained, "The residential areas in America are mainly divided into five types: T2, T3, T4, T5, and T6. They represent different urban construction models. You have to decide from here."
"What do they represent?" Li Du asked.
He had a lot of money now, but he had no investment direction. So he decided to buy a house. Therefore, the more he knew about this, the better.
Sophie said, "T2 represents the rural area, T3 represents the suburbs, T4 represents the comprehensive urban area, T5 represents the city center, and T6 represents the core of the city."
Big Quinn said, "I choose T5, which is Pine Tree Tops. I like the security there."
Sophie thought for a while and said, "If you consider the security, there are other areas to choose from. There are quite a number of areas for sale in the T5 area of Flagstaff because there are fewer and fewer people living in T5."
The city center represented a more developed economy and a more convenient life. However, it also represented a noisier environment and worse air quality.
Most Americans liked to live in the suburbs. The housing prices were cheap and the environment was good. As for the inconvenience? Anyway, they had a car at home. Wouldn't it be more convenient to drive it?
