Rolex, Rolex!
The watches on these small motorcycles were all Rolex!
Although Rolex was not the world's top watch brand, it was still very well-known. Most of them were expensive, especially judging from the color, many of them were gold.
Some of the motorcycles' wheels, bottom plates, and inside pointers and scales were all gold. Li Du felt that these were gold watches.
His reputation in Australia was limited to saving four children. He was not well-known in the old goods trade, so no one would be wary of him.
Squatting in front of the stall, he threw out a question and said, "This cabinet looks good. How much is it?"
The seller was a black man in his forties. "Yes, yes, this is a good mahogany cabinet. Are you from China? Chinese people like mahogany. This is mahogany. "
Li Du laughed. "Mahogany? Then why isn't it red? "
The black man was stunned. "Is mahogany red?"
Of course, it wasn't. Rosewood was purple, and some rosewood was brownish-yellow in color.
However, Li Du followed suit and said solemnly, "Yes, they are red."
The black man thought for a while and said, "You don't know much about mahogany. They also have this color. I bought this from someone else. It has an identification certificate. It's mahogany furniture."
Li Du asked, "How much is it?"
The black man said, "I bought it for 500 dollars. I'll sell it to you for 600 dollars. I just need to earn money for my petrol."
The small watch in the table was definitely worth more than that. It was probably worth ten or a hundred times more.
However, Li Du insisted on bargaining with him for no other reason than to enjoy the pleasure of bargaining.
The two of them negotiated and the table was sold for 200 dollars.
The black man did not check the things in the table. He was very satisfied with the price. Mahogany? 500 dollars? It was all nonsense.
Li Du gave him 200 dollars, and Godzilla came over to move the table.
They left the stall. Lu Guan asked Li Du, "Why did you buy this table? I mean, do you want to know what that guy thinks of you now? "
Li Du smiled and asked, "What did he think of me?"
Lu Guan said, "He told the person next to him that he found this table on the beach. Someone had thrown it away after cleaning up the yacht. He sold it to you for 200 dollars. He said you were an idiot."
Li Du smiled without saying a word. He opened the drawer and took out the small car inside. He found a place with no one around and put it into the black hole. There were five small watch cars in total, and they were all very valuable.
Other than that, he did not gain much. There were no antiques or cultural relics, mainly household goods and diving supplies. Li Du did not need these things.
After walking around the market, Li Du gathered everyone together and began to carry out the next step of the plan.
Hans felt that he could cooperate with the sea maiden. In this way, he would stay with the sea maiden to continue harvesting black gold abalone, and Li Du would leave Big Quinn to help him.
Big Quinn, Hannah, Stephen, and the others were going back. His children were still in school, and Hannah and Stephen had jobs. Their vacation was over.
Li Du took the others to Lightning Ridge. He wanted to see the world-famous Australian black opal mine. If there was a chance to harvest it, he wanted to make another wave of money.
In this way, Li Du and Sophie, Brother Wolf and his daughter, Godzilla and Victoria, and Lu Guan, a group of seven rented a Hummer off-road vehicle and a Chevrolet pickup truck, and drove majestically to Lightning Ridge.
New South Wales was a long way from King Island, which was located in the southeast of the Australian continent and separated from Tasmania, where King Island was located, by the state of Victoria.
Li Du and the others rented a car in Melbourne and drove directly north along the highway.
In fact, if it were not for the fact that they would need a car to go to Lightning Ridge, they could have taken a yacht and gone by sea. New South Wales was east of the Pacific Ocean, so it was closer to go by sea.
This state was the first British colony in Australia, and it was also the most populous, industrialized, and urbanized state in Australia.
Geographically, New South Wales could be divided into coastal lowlands, the Great Dividing Range, and the Western Plains. Lightning Ridge was located on the Western Plains.
The roads in Australia were very similar to those in the United States, wide, straight, and smooth. After they entered the Western Plains, the road went on like a long ribbon as far as the eye could see.
On both sides of the road were grassy wastelands, and from time to time large cactus could be seen. Sophie laughed as she took pictures. "I thought we were back in Arizona."
The Australian continent was vast. They left King Island in the morning, and by the time they arrived in Melbourne by boat, it was already afternoon when they rented a car, so they could not get to Lightning Ridge that day.
In fact, they did not even cover half of the distance in the afternoon, and it would take seventeen or eighteen hours to reach their destination by road.
In the evening, they found a small town to stay in. The town was called Rare Star, a mining town.
One of the characteristics of this kind of town was that when resources were abundant, the town had a large population, especially a migrant population, but as the resources dried up, the town would decline.
Unfortunately, Rare Star was in its twilight years, and the town was a bit run-down. Only some houses along the highway were still occupied, and a large number of houses in the back were empty.
Li Du found a motel to stay in. The owner was very friendly, and although he was old, he had good eyesight.
When Li Du went to check in, he looked at him frequently. When Li Du came downstairs and was about to go out, he asked, "Hi, sir, are you from China? Du Li? "
Li Du smiled and nodded. "Yes, hello."
The gray-haired owner suddenly let out a cheer. He winked at his wife at the counter and said proudly, "Well, I told you I recognized him."
The lady boss, whose hair was also white, ignored him. She walked towards Li Du and held his hand. She smiled and said, "Good lad, you saved four children and broke a criminal organization. You're really a good lad."
As she spoke, she drew a cross on her chest, then kissed Li Du and said, "God will bless you."
The proprietress poured him a cup of coffee, invited everyone to sit down and drink, and said excitedly, "Our town has not had a star for a long time. It's great that you are here, another star."
Li Du said politely, "I am not a star, sir. I just did what everyone should do."
As they were chatting, someone poked his head in and asked, "Hey, Old John, do you want to join the hunting team? We are going to hunt kangaroos. "
Old John, who was the proprietress, said, "Of course, of course, I will not only participate, but also bring a celebrity."
He turned to Li Du and asked, "Are you interested in watching the kangaroo hunt?"
