Li Du said to the official: "We have been very busy in the past year, and everyone has been working, so we need a rest time, a rest is a rest, a vacation is a vacation..."
"I see, let this damn news go to hell." Lu Guan laughed.
Li Du also smiled: "You know what, the boss has to squeeze the employees. Tell me, what's the job news? Is there an auction here?"
Rolling officer: "..."
This work news is indeed related to the storage auction. The auction will be held this weekend, and there are still four days left. The content of the auction is related to photography.
The city of Cleveland, founded in 1796, initially became a manufacturing center due to the intersection of canals and railroads. After the decline of large industries, the emphasis was on finance, insurance and medical care.
In addition, there are some art-related industries in the city, such as photography.
Cleveland's photography industry developed very early, and the oldest surviving photography studio in the United States is here.
The studio, Bourne and Safford's Eyes, was founded in the 1860s and was once known throughout the United States for its portraiture.
In 1910, Bourne and Safford's Eyes moved to a building now owned by the Ohio Life Insurance Company, after losing a 16-year lawsuit over the ownership of the space.
The studio has always been in a leased relationship with the office building. Due to issues such as space and rent, they failed to reach an agreement with the building owner. Ohio Life Insurance Company wanted to take back the building, and finally the studio decided to file for bankruptcy.
Lu Guan said: "This studio has been in business for 150 years, and they have a special warehouse. The auction is divided into two categories, office auction and warehouse auction, both belong to this photography studio."
As soon as Li Du heard that there were still four days left, he said: "Let's rest, let's not worry about it recently, pay attention to relevant information occasionally, and ask if there are any good things."
No matter Hans or Luguan, one thing is worth admiring, that is, they are all good at finding valuable warehouse auction information, and there will always be good things in the warehouse auctions they find.
Li Du is inferior to them in this regard. He is not good at finding hidden value from a pile of warehouse auction information.
Hans is good at this, and Luguan is also good at this, so Luguan deliberately mentioned this storage auction news to him when he was on vacation, indicating that this news is more valuable.
Li Du asked him to follow up occasionally. Now that he is staying in the resort, he mainly wants to relax and rest.
The staff warned them that there are brown bears in the woods and wilderness here, but because of the long development time, the brown bears feel a little domesticated and not very ferocious.
This is one of the tourism projects in the resort, that is to watch brown bears. As long as you don't provoke the local brown bears, you will generally not be attacked.
And there is another characteristic of brown bears, that is, the big bears stay in the woods and rarely appear in the resort area. It is mainly the little bears that come out, looking for someone to eat.
There is a biological exhibition room in the resort area, which introduces local wild animals, birds, fish, etc., and tells tourists which ones can be hunted and which ones cannot be hunted, which ones can be fished and which ones need to be protected.
There are quite a lot of projects around. There are a large number of independent houses and open tourist areas in the area. You can camp, swim, fish, hunt, build your own tree house, and ski in winter.
However, before fishing, you have to apply for a fishing license at the Fisheries Administration outside the resort. It costs two dollars a piece and you can catch eight fish a day.
The exception is Asian carp. If you are willing to go fishing for Asian carp in the lake, you do not need a fishing license, and you can exchange fishing qualifications with Asian carp. If you catch two Asian carp, you can catch one native species.
Asian carp are infested in American rivers and lakes. It is said that this year the US Congress allocated 200 million dollars to clean them up, but the effect is not great.
These carp were originally used to deal with garbage in fresh water, but they had no natural enemies in the local area, and their population expanded rapidly. They traveled north along the river and have now invaded the Great Lakes.
On the way, Li Du saw some big fish jumping from the lake, that is the heroic appearance of Asian carp.
Surrounded by green trees, clear water and silver sand, Li Du put on sunscreen and went to the beach by the lake to bask in the sun after putting on sunscreen.
The lake is very lively. Some people are surfing under the tow of the yacht, and some people are dragged by the yacht with parachutes and fly in the air. In addition, there is a kind of lake activity in the local area, which is to put a big bathtub in the lake, and then people stay in the bathtub Floating around in the wind and waves.
Li Du saw that there were children in some bathtubs, and asked, "What if the basin is overturned?"
Luguan shrugged and said, "It won't tip over. You see, the basin is very stable, and there are buoyancy balls underneath, just like a boat."
Li Du said: "What if it turns over? There are only children in some pots."
"That child will definitely be able to swim. Anyway, everyone is optimistic about their own children. If there is an accident, we can only blame the guardian." Lu Guan said casually.
Li Du nodded. There is a reason why there are so few foreigners. The guardian dared to let the children play such dangerous activities on the lake.
Lunch is quite rich, coconut flavored and lime flavored scallop ceviche, buttermilk waffles with braised duck legs, spicy octopus ramen, fried chicken fried fish, and fried sausage prepared by Li and Du himself , trout sandwiches and more.
Sitting on the beach by the lake, spreading a picnic towel, a group of people gathered around to eat lunch lively, enjoying the cool breeze and delicious food from the lake, and relaxing physically and mentally at the same time.
The cats also ate and drank together. There was a forest stretching out behind them. Li Du saw mushrooms and suggested that everyone go pick mushrooms together in the afternoon.
Ah Meow and Ah Bai are both forest animals, and they rush into the woods when they are full.
Sophie was afraid that they would be in danger, so she warned: "Only here, right here, don't go any further, you know? It's right here."
Abai climbed up a pine tree easily with hands and feet, dug out a bird's nest, dug out two eggs from it, and ran to find Li Du Xianbao.
Li Du shook his head and let him put it back again. They were not in the wild, so there was no need to eat other people's eggs.
Seeing that he was not interested, Ah Bai tilted his head and thought for a while, then went into the woods again.
They are still in the residential area, everything is safe and there are no large beasts, so Li Du is relieved.
More than half an hour after Ah Bai entered the woods, Ah Miao, who was dozing off on a branch, suddenly got up, stared at the depths of the woods and shouted: "Meow meow!"
Li Du took off his sunglasses and looked over, asking, "What's wrong?"
Soon, the tree branch swayed, and a white figure jumped out. When he saw that it was Ah Bai who had returned, he put on his sunglasses again and prepared to rest.
As a result, some small trees in the woods behind also swayed, Ah Miao's cry became more and more urgent, and the Ah Aws also jumped up.
Seeing that something was wrong, Li Du walked towards the grove with Brother Lang, and then he saw a big hairy head.
