With a large number of shares in Harry Winston and tens of millions of US dollars in his wallet, Li Du changed his working attitude. He wanted to combine life and work.
Although this couldn't be considered as enjoying life, it could be considered as enjoying work. He didn't want himself to be too tired.
Of course, if there was a chance to enter the national park, he would still crazily search for gems without caring about the energy consumption. After all, the energy he expended could be exchanged for thousands of times more money.
After lunch, they took a small wooden boat in the river for a while. At around two in the afternoon, when the weather started to turn cold, they went ashore.
Back in town, they continued to work.
Li Du went to these old goods stores one by one. If he found something that the little bug was interested in, he would use it to exchange.
Now, many old goods markets could not only trade old goods but also purchase goods, just like grocery stores.
However, this was not the case in Horseshoe Town. All the stores here only accepted barter. They did not accept monetary transactions.
At first, Li Du did not understand. Wasn't the purpose of these old goods store owners, Native Americans, or treasure hunters doing business here to make money?
But then he figured it out. The premise for them to make money was that the old goods market in Horseshoe Town could attract a large number of customers to trade with them. The attraction of this old goods market was simply barter.
Everyone understood this. They were protecting this market. They did not accept money in the town. They only accepted goods and could only barter.
There was another way to make money, and that was through the old goods auction in the market. This was done using cash.
Li Du strolled very quickly. The little bug was like a guided missile, automatically looking for valuable goods. Li Du would think of a way to buy whatever it was interested in.
However, the old goods market in America was like the antique street and cultural relics street in China. There were many old goods, but valuable old goods were extremely rare.
Wanting to find antiques in the old goods market? That was too difficult. These store owners might not have sharp eyes, but they were also very cunning.
As long as the goods in their hands looked valuable, they would think of a way to appraise them to determine their value.
If they really could not determine the value, they would rather kill the wrong person than let it go and mark the goods at a high price.
As for whether anyone would be willing to trade with something of equal value? There was no need to worry. As long as the goods were valuable enough, there would always be someone who knew the value.
After an entire afternoon, Li Du did not find anything of high value. Most of the things that the little bug was interested in only contained a little bit of time energy.
However, as the saying went, many a little makes a mickle. The little bug had also absorbed quite a lot of time energy.
The goods that were traded during this period were all handled by Li Du in private and were not included in the company's accounts.
The area of the town was not big, and Li Du finished his stroll in the evening. During this time, Li Du kept trading, and the total value of the goods was at least a million dollars.
This put him in the limelight. The owners of the old goods shops passed the news to each other, saying that there was a fat sheep in town and telling everyone to prepare their knives.
However, the crowd could not understand Li Du's trading. His trading seemed to be very spontaneous, and his unconstrained thinking confused the people who were watching him.
Of course, what everyone could be sure of was that he was very rich and didn't mind spending money.
When night fell, Li Du and the others found a small hotel in town to stay.
After resting for a while in the room, they were about to go out to eat when Big Quinn knocked on Li Du's door and said, "Boss, someone wants to talk to you."
"Who?" Li Du asked lazily.
Big Quinn said, "The owner of the local auction market. His name is Suradi Feuille. He and his assistant are waiting in the living room downstairs. Do you have any plans?"
Li Du said, "Let him wait for a while. I'll go down and take a look."
Every old goods market would have an old goods auction point that would organize old goods auctions regularly. The auction market in Horseshoe Town was called Feuille Auction House. From this, the identity of the owner could be seen.
After washing his face, Li Du went downstairs energetically.
The two of them met face to face. Suradi Feuille was a middle-aged man in his mid-thirties. He had Native American and white blood in his body. He had a tall and sturdy build, slightly tanned skin, and bright eyes.
Seeing Li Du, Suradi was stunned for a moment. He extended his hand and said sincerely, "Hello, Mr. Li. You are really an energetic person."
Suradi was not a man who was attracted to women. He liked to work out and take care of his health. He lived a regular life, so he was able to maintain a lot of energy. This could be seen from his eyes.
As an expert in taking care of his health, he could, of course, observe Li Du's extraordinary energy and vitality.
At this moment, Li Du was indeed full of energy. The little bug had absorbed time energy for an entire afternoon. Although it was not enough for it to evolve, it had become a little bigger and carried more energy with it.
The two of them shook hands. Li Du praised Suradi and Feuille Auction House, and the two of them started talking.
Suradi's father was the owner of Feuille Auction House. He was the first person to come here to trade old goods. He had bought treasures from the Native American tribes and had even married a Native American woman.
Later, a large number of casinos left the town, and a large number of old goods were put up for sale. Old Feuille saw a business opportunity and set up this old goods auction house. The business had continued to this day.
After exchanging pleasantries, Li Du asked, "Mr. Feuille, why are you looking for me?"
Young Feuille smiled. "You can call me Suradi. There's no need to address me so formally. I'm here to see the elegance of the Treasure Hunter Tycoon of Arizona. I've long heard of you. It's a pity that I couldn't meet you."
Li Du also smiled and said, "You're overpraising me. I'm not the Treasure Hunter Tycoon of Arizona. I was just lucky and did make some money."
Young Feuille said, "You're being modest. In the circle of treasure hunters, who doesn't know of the name Boy Wonder? You've traveled all over Arizona, but you've never returned empty-handed. "
Li Du said, "Can I say that it's all because of God's blessing?"
Young Feuille smiled. "God is so good to you. I'm so envious. This time, I'm here to follow God's will. I want to invite you to participate in tomorrow's old goods auction."
The scale of Horseshoe Town's old goods auction was about the same as Hoffman's. It was held twice a week during the peak season and once a week during the off-season. Spring and summer were considered the off-season, while autumn and winter were considered the peak season.
Li Du had chosen to come to Horseshoe Town at this time because he wanted to participate in the old goods auction. However, as far as he knew, the auction was to be held the day after tomorrow. Why was it changed to tomorrow?
Feuille told him the answer. "Seeing you make a move in the town, many of the guys with good goods couldn't sit still. They asked me to start the auction as soon as possible. They were worried that you would spend all your money."
Li Du was amused. Was the time of the auction specially changed for him? He had just entered this market and he had become a big shot?
