Chapter 1425 1425. Pathfinder (45)

After staying in the tribe for one night, Li Du returned to the cave the next day and found a group of people carrying stones out.

He was taken aback, and asked Mr. Martin, "James, what are you doing? Are you planning to dig up all the rock paintings and move them away?"

When a big bull next to him heard this, he rolled his eyes and said, "We are archaeologists, not tomb robbers. How could we do such a thing? This is an insult to us!"

Li Du curled his lips and said, "In the name of archaeology, how few of you have done such a thing? Who dug up the flying murals in Mogao Grottoes in China?"

"The Europeans did it, not us." Mr. Martin defended.

Da Niu blew his beard and stared: "That's a shame!"

After chatting with each other, the topic changed back, and Mr. Martin said excitedly: "Your discovery this time is really amazing. Do you know what we found in the cave again?"

Li Du shook his head, and the old man clapped his hands and shouted, "Mummy! Indian mummy!"

"Indians also have mummies? Isn't this something unique to Egypt?" Mr. Li asked in surprise.

The old man despised him, and said: "Mummy burial methods have been found in many ancient civilizations around the world, but Egyptian mummies have been publicized more through art forms such as novels and movies."

It was no coincidence that the mummies were found in the cave. Experts quickly deciphered the petroglyphs and found that these petroglyphs depict the burial process of an Indian tribe's ancestors.

So they searched in the cave and eventually found the mummy, but it was damaged.

Mr. Martin said: "In the past, this cave was very dry, so it was used to store mummies. Later, the spring water flowed into it and destroyed some mummies. It's a pity."

These professional things have nothing to do with Li Du. Regardless of rock paintings or mummies, it is inconvenient to trade in the normal market. It is better to leave it to the archaeological and historical circles.

The discovery of petroglyphs and mummies can be said to be the biggest archaeological event in North America since the 21st century. This incident quickly alarmed the local government of Pittsburgh, and the government sent police to maintain order.

From these policemen, Li Du saw a few familiar people. They were the policemen who came to the cave to escort the poachers back then.

Li Du walked over to them and said with a smile: "It's been a lot of trouble to enter the Blue Ridge twice in a month, right?"

A policeman nodded subconsciously: "Yes, God bless, it's better to do less work like this in the future..."

He reacted halfway through his words and asked, "How do you know that this is our second visit to Blue Ridge?"

Li Du smiled and said, "I once caught some poachers and called you. I saw you in the dark."

The policemen suddenly realized that Li Du quickly won their favor.

After collecting some photos and antiquities in the cave, Mr. Martin and Li Du went down the mountain.

This discovery is very important. The old man and the big cows contacted the Pittsburgh government to hold a press conference, and they had to attend the press conference.

As a discoverer and witness of history, Li Du became one of the protagonists at the press conference, and his image spread to the world through the media.

Of course, this has little impact on his life. It is impossible for him to become a star because of such a discovery. At most, people who follow such news will know him.

After the rock painting was discovered, the rest of the work has nothing to do with him. Mr. Li is just a leader this time.

He took the goods of the Tawixi tribe and flew back to Los Angeles to participate in the real estate auction.

This is his first time participating in such an auction, and he is very new to this industry, so he needs to do his homework in advance.

Bidding real estate is different from warehouse auctions. This requires cooperation. The auction is held by the Urban Housing and Urban Development Bureau. To get a house, you must naturally participate in the auction on the spot.

In addition, someone must go to see the condition of the house, and communicate with the bidders in time if there are any problems, so as to determine the final price.

From this point of view, it seems a bit redundant, and the bidders can observe the condition of the house in advance.

But it is not appropriate to do so. First of all, in the process of bidding for real estate, the house is not open to the public throughout the whole process. In the warehouse auction, the warehouse will be opened, but treasure pickers are not allowed to enter.

In the process of bidding for real estate, the house will not be opened, and people are not allowed to enter, and the tenants can only set the price by looking at the appearance or sneaking in through the window.

This is related to the real estate laws of the United States. Private property is sacred and inviolable. After the real estate is taken back by the government or the bank, it belongs to the "white household", which is no longer owned by the former landlord, nor the government or the bank.

Under such circumstances, there is no owner of the property, and there is no owner's permission. Naturally, no one is allowed to enter it.

In the real estate bidding business, everyone will go to look at the house in advance, and will continue to look at the house when the auction is in progress, so that the price can be adjusted in time if there is any discovery.

But this has no effect on Li Du, Xiao Fei Chong can handle everything about the property, as long as he participates in the auction by himself.

There are a total of eleven houses to be auctioned in this issue, ranging from apartments to houses to villas to manors. The most valuable of them is the manor, which is the target of all pickers.

Lu Guan went to inquire and told him that there would be no less than 50 people participating in the auction this time, and at least 40 people were interested in the Beach Manor.

The number of fifty people is not a big deal in a storage auction, but it is considered a large scale in a bidding real estate auction, because there are many treasure hunters and few house pickers.

Li Du didn't care how many opponents he had, what he cared about was the value of these houses.

Lu Guan gave him the addresses of the eleven houses, and they drove to check in advance.

The houses have been seized by the court, so they cannot be entered.

Li Du went to see the Beach Manor first. The house looks very big from the photos, but it is bigger in reality. It covers an area of ​​20,000 square meters. Clean it up properly. This is a well-deserved mansion!

As Lu Guan introduced, the location of the house is very good. Li Du drove from the interstate highway and turned, and then there was the house. He got out of the car and looked ahead, and the endless ocean appeared in front of him.

There is a beautiful beach here, the sand is fine and pollution-free, the blue waves beat slowly on the beach, and some seabirds fly against the sea surface with a soothing rhythm.

He had seen it on the way here. Five or six hundred meters to the east of the house was a supermarket, and next to the supermarket was the subway entrance, which increased the value of the house. Many houses in the suburbs of American cities are far away from shopping malls. Something has to be driven.

The distance of five to six hundred meters can be solved by walking. This is considered a subway house. Of course, people who can afford this kind of house don't care if there is a subway.
