Of course, no one wanted to compete with the golden-bearded man for the price of 15,000 dollars.
However, he did not seem to mind. After Sayder pointed at him and announced the deal, there was a round of applause. The middle-aged man also applauded, smiling and nodding to the people around him.
According to the rules, Li Du and Hans, as the seller, had to greet the middle-aged man. First, they had to thank him, and second, they had to answer him if there was anything he needed to know.
The two of them walked over and introduced themselves. The middle-aged man shook hands with them and said with a bitter smile, "I spent money to buy a lesson. In the future, I can't rush things."
Li Du was very understanding and said, "It's okay, sir. We can refund you some money."
The cost of Men's Secret Hideout was less than 5,500 dollars. They would be satisfied if they sold it for 10,000 dollars. 15,000 dollars was indeed a surprise.
The middle-aged man waved his hand and said, "Forget it. It's just a few thousand dollars more. Just take it as a lesson. It's nothing. But if you feel bad about it, then I suggest you bid for a Kent sheep. "
Hans asked excitedly, "There's a Kent sheep being auctioned this time? We didn't know about this. "
The middle-aged man pointed to the small auction house next door and said, "Yes, I've seen today's auction menu. There's definitely a Kent sheep."
Hans immediately said, "Then this will blow up today's auction."
The middle-aged man said, "Who said it wouldn't? How about this, you guys bid for this sheep, and then we'll go to my house. We can use this hideout to barbecue and watch the game at the same time? The NBA just kicked off! "
"That's a deal," Hans agreed without hesitation.
They walked to the small auction stage next door. On the way, Li Du asked, "What kind of sheep is a Kent sheep? How come I've never heard of this breed of sheep? "
Hans said, "It's not the name of a breed, but the name of a farm, Kent Farm. This farm uses Suffolk sheep and Dorper sheep as mothers for breeding, and has bred some high-quality sheep.
"These sheep are bred and bred. The meat quality is very good. They eat the best and cleanest pasture while they are growing up. They have different diets at different stages, so the meat quality is especially good."
Li Du suddenly understood and said, "I've never heard of it."
"If you live in Flagstaff for a few more years and pay more attention to agriculture and animal husbandry, then you will definitely hear of this name. In fact, it's very famous!"
The few of them arrived at the small auction stage. The middle-aged man introduced himself on the way. His name was Will Monroe, an investment expert. He usually stayed in Los Angeles and only returned to Flagstaff occasionally.
"It's not easy to stay in Los Angeles during this season, right?" Hans asked with a smile.
Will sighed and said, "It's terrible, my man. Every day my sheets are f * cking wet. It's winter. I'd rather make less money than come back. I don't want to be found out one day that I'm moldy and hairy."
Hans agreed. "I've stayed in Los Angeles for a while. The winters there are terrible."
"Every winter," Will said, "I come back to Flagstaff for the winter. It's a good place, but it's not suitable for my profession. Otherwise, I'd be willing to stay here forever."
Li Du and Hans had never heard of his name. In fact, he was a very powerful investor. He owned shares in Apple, Marvel Pictures, and other popular companies in recent years. His net worth could be more than 50 million.
So, an extra few thousand dollars was not a big deal to him. What he had said earlier was not to save face. He really wanted to teach Will a lesson.
For someone like Will, a few thousand dollars for a lesson was considered very cheap.
Two bags of bread flour were being auctioned on the small auction stage. They were made of the highest quality wheat flour and were very expensive. The starting bid was 500 dollars for two bags of 100 kilograms.
There was also an auction of beer barley, which was the best for brewing beer.
Hans was very interested in this. He waved his hand and bought 200 kilograms. He was planning to store it for brewing beer next spring.
In the end, someone pulled a clean sheep onto the stage. This was the Kenta sheep.
The auctioneer introduced the sheep, saying that in the future, it would be comparable to the Japanese wagyu. In the future, it would become the pride of the Arizona animal husbandry industry.
Hans said, "If this breed can be bred, it could really reach this level."
"Yes, but it's very difficult," Will said. "This brand needs to be promoted by the government. But the politicians in Arizona only think about how to make money and get promoted. They don't know how to do practical things."
The Kenta sheep was a replica of the Japanese wagyu. Their breeding process, breeding environment, diet, and drinking water were all based on the Japanese wagyu.
The starting bid for this sheep was 1,200 dollars, much lower than the wagyu. But for the price of lamb in the United States, it was already considered very high. In the United States, an ordinary sheep only cost 200 dollars.
There were quite a number of people interested in the Kent sheep. Li Du bought the sheep for 1,800 dollars.
The increase from 1,200 dollars to 1,800 dollars was not considered high, but there were still a few sheep like this being auctioned. Under such circumstances, raising the price by 50% was already considered very high.
Hans went to pay, and Li Du called Godzilla and Big Quinn to move the sheep and the man's secret base into the pickup truck. Then they followed Will's Mercedes to his house.
After driving for a while, Li Du realized that they were taking a familiar route. "I passed here two days ago, to Sophie's parents' house."
Big Quinn, who was driving, said, "You were robbed here?"
Li Du nodded. "Yes."
Godzilla clenched his fist and said, "Hope we can meet them again today!"
His gaze was fierce, which was rare for him to show violent tendencies.
Godzilla was very depressed when he found out that Li Du had almost been robbed. Although he was Li Du's mover in name, in reality, Li Du treated him as a bodyguard, and he also prided himself on being a bodyguard.
In the end, Li Du had gotten into trouble twice, and he had failed both times, which made him feel very frustrated.
Will had a beautiful villa in Flagstaff. It was located in the outskirts of the city, surrounded by villas of different styles, with a large garden, a large lawn, a sports field, and a swimming pool.
Big Quinn said that this villa area was very famous. The property prices were among the highest in Flagstaff, and each one cost more than five million dollars.
Of course, such a high price was due to the beautiful environment and responsible property management of the villa area.
They drove into the villa area, and two security guards came up to check. After getting Will's confirmation, they were allowed to enter the villa area.
Will lived alone. He had divorced his wife not long ago, and his two children were temporarily staying with their mother in Los Angeles. This time, he came back not only because of the good winter weather in Flagstaff, but also because he wanted to go back to his hometown to relax.
When they reached the villa, they unloaded the things. Big Quinn and Godzilla immediately went to slaughter the sheep, while Hans and Lu Guan built the man's secret base, ready to have fun.
