Chapter 1427 1427. The chain of contempt (15)

On the surface, it seems that they are in a friendly relationship, but Li Du can feel the struggle between the tenants:

"Hey, Calvin, long time no see. I heard that you were bitten by a dog when you went to pick up the house? You are recovering well."

"Fortunately, that son of a bitch just bit my flesh. Ryan, your appearance surprised me even more. Didn't you spend all your money in the Fengqing Villa Garden? That rotten house was sold?"

"Don't worry, the real estate cycle in the United States is 15 years, you have to be patient, right?"

"The house is not easy to manage this time, you all know it? More than half of the houses in this batch have problems with the previous landlords."

"Where's the news? Dude, you're showing off the junk news you found on the Internet again? Haha, but I believe you, I'm here today to see, I'm not going to do anything."

"You're going to see a ghost if you don't act. Don't think I don't know. You wanted to jump into No. 141 Changning Street to take a peek at the house, but you were caught by the police and almost arrested..."

Listening to their chat, Li Du found it very interesting and learned a lot from it.

For example, the real estate market in Santa Monica is not hot right now. Almost all these people have several houses in their hands, and they are ready to sell them in a few years.

Theoretically speaking, the longer you hold real estate in the United States, the more sure you can make a profit without losing money. If you invest for a long time, there is a 60% chance of earning 10% of the property value if you hold it for five years, and it may even make you ten percent if you hold it for ten years. Double the property value.

Of course, only gold houses are worth hoarding to make a lot of money. It is better to sell ordinary houses after changing hands, and you can earn a little bit.

Gold houses refer to good houses with good corners, school district houses, subway houses, etc. They are the main force for picking tenants to make money. Ordinary houses only need to allow picking tenants to operate funds and earn some living expenses.

Regardless of the casual clothes and cheap cars here, the tenants here are all very expensive, at least a few million, and many have reached tens of millions.

Their money is kept in the house, and only a batch of funds can be withdrawn every time a house is sold, and each return of funds is almost a big profit, and many houses can earn hundreds of thousands or millions.

Li Du has been standing in the crowd, and naturally someone noticed him after a long time.

Someone came up and said, "Hey man, are you a worker? Never seen you."

In the process of buying and selling houses in the United States, there are many third-party agencies to assist in the process of buying and selling houses, including appraisal companies, house inspections, fair companies, banks, real estate brokers, title insurance companies, and so on.

These companies will arrange staff to enter the auction site. After the auction, the house needs to be transferred, and their help is needed.

Li Du shook his head and said, "No, I have the same purpose as yours, and I came here to take pictures of a house today."

The man nodded suddenly: "Oh, you have taken a fancy to a house? Live in it yourself?"

Li Du smiled and said, "Yes, but if I can, I will also take pictures of other houses."

The two house pickers looked at him carefully after hearing what he said, and one of them said, "I seem to have seen you before. Are you driving a Ferrari?"

These two were the picky tenants Li Du met in the villa before. At that time, he pulled down the car window to enjoy the wind and sunshine.

Li Du stretched out his hand and said, "Yes, we met. Hello, I'm Li, from Arizona. Nice to meet you."

One of the middle-aged white men shook hands with him and said, "Hi buddy, I'm Marcos, and this is my buddy Liquette. It's also nice to meet you."

Liquet looked at Li Du and said, "You used to be a house picker in Arizona? Your name is Li? Then I think you are Chinese? But I haven't heard much about Chinese house pickers in Arizona."

"Maybe you are short-sighted." Marcos laughed.

Just as Li Du was about to speak, someone frowned and said, "You are Li from Arizona? Are you a treasure picker for a storage auction?"

He looked at the man, nodded friendly and said, "Yes, I used to do storage auctions, and now I want to come and bid on the real estate industry."

As the only stranger in the crowd, there are quite a lot of people paying attention to him. Hearing these conversations, he was quickly selected by the tenants to discuss him:

"Ha, we have one more competitor, Chinese Americans pick tenants, tsk tsk, rare."

"What kind of competitor, didn't you hear him say that he is a treasure picker, a junk packer, he has the guts to dare to compete for real estate bids."

"People think that our industry is full of gold, and everyone comes to speculate in real estate. I believe he will quit in a short time. This industry, hehe, is not easy to mix."

"It won't be long? He will withdraw today. How much is the storage auction each time? Hundreds of dollars? Thousands of dollars? At that time, our quotation will scare him."

Again, peers are enemies, and these house pickers are acquaintances, so take care of each other's face when communicating, and don't dare to speak too much.

But Li Du is a newcomer in this industry, he is of Chinese descent, and he used to work in an industry that they didn't like, so they don't have any scruples about picking tenants, and they just start to sneer.

Although it is said that the top picks come out of the three hundred and sixty lines, the discrimination in the industry has never disappeared since ancient times. It is obvious that picking tenants looks down on treasure pickers.

Li Du knew this a long time ago, he was mentally prepared, so facing the ridicule of everyone, he just smiled.

Not everyone is mocking him, but someone knows how powerful he is. The house picker who asked about his identity looked at him cautiously and said, "You are now in Los Angeles, planning to specialize in the bidding real estate business?"

Li Du said casually: "I want to take a look first. In fact, the warehouse auction industry is also good. Which industry can make me earn more money, I will go to that industry."

"You can be the president. It's more profitable to be the president." A house picker said with a smile.

Some were more cautious in picking tenants, and asked, "Luther, you seem to be quite afraid of this Chinese, what is his origin?"

Luther was the house picker who knew Li Du's identity. He said in a low voice, "He is the king of treasure hunting in Arizona. He only debuted for three or four years. During that time, all those who opposed him were dealt with badly!"

After hearing this, the tenant picked a breath: "Is this guy very domineering?"

"Hmph." Luther sneered, "I don't know the details. I have a cousin who works as a treasure hunter in Phoenix, and he highly respects this Chinese. Anyway, don't conflict with him, let's see the situation first."

An official from the Housing and Urban Development Bureau arrived. He was in charge of the auction. In addition, some white gloves were specially invited to host the auction. Seeing the white gloves entering the venue, the tenants were ready.

Everyone took out their phones and called their partners. At this time, the phone bill is free, and they kept talking all the time to discuss the auction.
