Chapter 1461 1461. Don't Mess With Me (5/5)

Chapter 1461 1461. Don't mess with me (55)

Seeing the tit-for-tat between the two sides, the black woman laughed and joked: "None of us can know everything. Mr. Capote is a famous writer. You may know "Breakfast at Tiffany's", which is the work of this gentleman. "

It dawned on Li Du that he knew "Breakfast at Tiffany's" because of Audrey Hepburn.

The Negro woman stepped down both sides, and she changed the subject, but the two wouldn't let up.

Among them, a white man with sunglasses and a beard sneered: "We don't know that things in your China are normal, and we don't depend on your China for our livelihood, what about you? You live in our United States! Since your China has a long history, Why don't you go back? What are you still doing with us?"

Li Du shrugged and said, "I'm making your money here."

In addition, he took a look at the two people's clothes, let the time flies fly over, and reversed time to look at the sunglasses, underwear, watches, mobile phones and other items.

He only watched scenes from the beginning of the production of these things, so he finished them quickly.

After reading it, he laughed, pointed at the bearded man and said, "What brand is your sunglasses?"

"Oakley, what's the matter?" the bearded man said proudly.

This sunglasses brand was born in 1975. It was founded by Jim Gennard, a famous American fashionista, and later invested by basketball star Michael Jordan. It mainly produces protective glasses for off-road racing cars. It is good at using high technology and intelligence to create high-performance fashion glasses.

Li Du smiled and said, "Oh, Oakley brand? This product is produced by us Chinese."

Judging from the reversal of time, sunglasses were first born in a city in the Pearl River Delta in southern China. They were famous counterfeit products, and were later shipped to Los Angeles for sale.

The bearded man said disdainfully: "Don't give your Chinese a face, everyone knows that Oakley's production lines are all in the United States."

Li Du nodded and said: "Yes, the genuine product is indeed made in the United States, but you bought it in Chinatown in Los Angeles. This is not the real product, it is a fake."

"And the Rolex and Apple mobile phone in your hand, don't you need to say more about these?"

Hearing what he said, the bearded man suddenly became furious: "Nonsense, I bought my glasses in a specialty store, no, they were given to me when I helped an executive of Oakley company appraise a French gilt desk lamp."

He knew the truth very well, so he didn't get too entangled in this topic, but raised his hand and said, "What do you want to say? What do you want to say that my iPhone is also a fake?"

Li Du shook his head and said, "No, it's not a fake, but its production line is in Baodao, China, so what you use is related to our China."

The other wanted to say something, Li Du nodded the belt on his waist and said with a smile: "It's a nice Hermès belt, don't mess with my buddy, otherwise you will be the next one to lose face."

The man stopped talking. The belt was the latest Hermès, but he didn't buy it from the Hermès brand store. It was too expensive to buy there. The belt cost more than 10,000 yuan. He bought it in Chinatown.

Chinatown in Los Angeles and Chinatown in San Francisco have many small commodity markets, which are filled with counterfeit goods from all over the world. Some people who have little money but pursue fashion and face like to go there to shop for treasures.

The atmosphere in the backstage was a bit dull, and the black woman smiled and said, "Let's talk about Mr. Truman Capote, Mr. Li, do you know the theme of our auction?"

Li Du had no intention of quarreling with these people, so he took advantage of the slope and said, "Yes, peeping into the private lives of Hollywood's most low-key stars."

The black woman continued to laugh and said, "Yes, so there will be some supplies or relics of Hollywood stars in this auction. Mr. Truman is a famous writer and a famous Hollywood screenwriter. His relics are very precious."

Li Du hesitated and said, "I'm not questioning the preciousness of this item, it's just that it's suitable for auction."

The black woman nodded and said: "We have permission from Capote's widow, Ms. Jack Dunphy, who wants us to auction this item and donate the proceeds to a research institute focused on investigating the harm of overmedication."

"Mr. Truman Capote died in 1984 because of overdose. You probably don't know this. Let me explain it for you." The bearded man interjected.

"Also this relic is really valuable, it was stolen twice, the first time it was secretly returned from a Halloween party in 1988. The other time was at a party Carson threw for the Capote play, when the ashes Urn was also present, and was targeted by thieves." The owner of the Hermes belt continued.

The black woman added: "This year, the ashes were also invited by Broadway to participate in the opening night of the play "Breakfast at Tiffany's".

Li Du nodded silently, and said, "Okay, I'm just busy."

Americans really dare to play. Since people are willing to play like this, then he is looking for trouble by talking too much.

Originally, he didn't think to say so much, but Li Du just felt a little horrified when he saw the urn appearing at the auction, mainly because the bearded man and Hermes laughed at him, so he couldn't help but reply.

The black woman is very talkative, still explaining: "We all know that people will find this disrespectful. But the truth is that Mr. Truman Capote likes the horror element himself, and he likes to be famous. If he knew that this was going to happen , I'm sure he'll laugh and say, 'That's what I'll do,' we know he's a legend after all."

Li Du expressed his understanding, and then looked at these lots according to the auction list sent to him by the auction organizer in advance. As a guest, he would comment on some lots later.

Space-time flying insects fly over these lots, and they are not interested in many things. Obviously, there is not much time energy contained in them, so they cannot arouse their interest.

Among them, there is an antique clock that is not bad. It seems to be more than 200 years old. Li Dugang got such an antique clock when he was engaged in the warehouse auction business. It was a gilt French clock in the Louis XV era.

But this clock was not well preserved. What Li Du got at that time were two well-preserved clocks, each of which could sell for more than 70,000 yuan.

The clocks here are poorly preserved and worth a lot, so they don't mean much to him.

He was looking at something else when someone came up to him and said, "Surprised to see the auction items here, huh? Yes, they're kind of weird, but this is Los Angeles, Mr. Lee, 'the weirdest in LA', you know It wouldn’t be so strange if Christie’s sold Napoleon’s Tintin and William Shatner’s kidney stones.”

Li Du looked at him, and the other party was a young man about his age.

After getting his attention, the young man gave a friendly smile, stretched out his hand and said, "Hi, Mr. Li, my name is Bill Shorston, nice to meet you."
