Chapter 234 233. Little Water City (1)
Rich and self-willed is a good word.
Francis may not be super rich in Hollywood, and her market appeal is not as good as Scarlett Johansson's red cards.
But she is still very rich, film remuneration, advertising revenue, and various reasonable financial management methods, her total assets are at least hundreds of millions!
After all, this is a Hollywood actress who has won multiple international film awards. She is not in the same world as everyone on the scene.
Francis' living environment is called high society, and people live for enjoyment.
Money is just a number to them, wouldn't it be a good deal to exchange some numbers for a favorite gift?
Where is the treasure hunter? Most people work to survive. They may have savings of 300,000 yuan, but it is impossible to buy a motorcycle with such money.
Three hundred thousand dollars, you can buy a house in Los Angeles, a smaller villa in Flagstaff, and even a car, you can buy a Ferrari!
Francis bought the motorcycle without even checking to see if it could be driven.
In her words, that is: "I bought it to watch, not to drive, so what difference does it make if it runs?"
Li Du couldn't understand the consumption concept of these people. If it was just for watching, why would he spend 300,000 yuan to buy an original movie motorcycle? Is it different to spend 30,000 to order a one-to-one model?
Francis happily transported the motorcycle away, and 300,000 yuan went into Hans' bill. Under the envious eyes of many treasure hunters, the transaction was completed.
Li Du took Turis to help deliver the goods, and the motorcycle must not be sent back with a Mercedes.
As the car passed a video store, he stopped Turis and ran in to buy something.
The movie queen doesn't live in Beverly Hills, she has a country house in Los Angeles, not far from where the warehouse is located, no wonder she can come here in such a timely manner.
When Li Du unloaded his motorcycle, he asked, "Can I ask a personal question?"
With permission, he continued, "Why don't you stay in Beverly Hills?"
Francis said with a smile: "First, the housing prices there are too high, and I don't want to spend so much money on houses; second, there are too many journalists and tourists, and I don't like a life without privacy."
After driving back in the truck, Li Du distributed autographed photos for everyone, one for each person, all of which were autographed by the actress.
Turis was overjoyed, and his autographed photo was a photo of him and the actress.
Clean up the two warehouses, because the No. 11 warehouse is too big, and the four trucks are full.
In the evening, Hans waved his hands and shouted, "Let's go, brothers, we won't return tonight without getting drunk! Let's meet on the Gold Coast tomorrow!"
"Oh yeah!" Turis, Oli and others cheered.
Needless to say, the dinner and tomorrow's activities are both paid for by the two of them, but they just made 300,000 yuan, so it's only right for everyone to have a good time.
Hans still wants to have a party, because this time they will definitely be able to join the 100,000 club!
They gained a lot from the Los Angeles auction this time, and they lived up to their expectations. Moreover, the cash gain was second, and the most important thing was the gain in fame.
The treasure hunters who participated in this auction came from all over the West Coast, and their names would spread with the storage auction circles of these people everywhere.
What's more, they have officially become the benchmark figures among the treasure hunters in Qigan City, a bit like Erliqiao Dousheng or Shilipo Sword God. In this small circle, they are the bosses.
Frank and York were the biggest losers. Not only did they lose money, but they also became the stepping stones for Hans and Li Du to become famous. In several conflicts between the two sides, the two failed to win once and lost all of them!
Looking at the back of the Iron Knight leaving, Frank scolded sullenly: "I hope they get killed in a car accident on the way, I don't want to see them again!"
This auction hit him too hard!
However, he might feel a bit ashamed to do so, and added: "When we see them again, we must smite their arrogance. I don't believe they have such good luck every time!"
York said cooperatively: "Yes, our luck is too bad this time."
Frank looked at him darkly and said, "It's just a matter of luck? Brother, we have to talk about Warehouse No. 3. This is a very troublesome account."
York dissatisfied: "Frank, what do you mean? Aren't we good partners?"
"It's a good partner, so we have to settle the accounts carefully." Frank said coldly, "The No. 3 warehouse is worth 100,000 yuan, and you have to pay for it."
"Fack!" York cursed angrily.
The location of the warehouse company is in the southeast of Los Angeles, very close to Long Beach, which may be due to the convenient transportation conditions of Long Beach's wharf and port.
In this way, Li Du and the others did not return to the original place, but went to the nearby small city of Venice.
Venice is a small seaside town next door to Los Angeles. It is a replica of the water city of Venice in Italy. It has sunshine, sandy beaches, and waves. It is a beautiful resort.
Different from the quaintness of the ancient city of Venice in Italy, the small city of Venice has many skateboard boys, slam dunk masters and surfing pioneers.
The existence of these athletes makes the small town full of vigor and vitality. In addition, there are many artists, poets, painters and other literary and art workers here, which makes the small town have a literary atmosphere.
The small city of Venice is very legendary. It was born only more than a hundred years ago, and its predecessor was a desolate swamp.
In 1904, American tobacconist Albert Kinney bought it with the intention of turning it into a world-class resort.
Then, to add to the appeal, he named the land Venice.
Of course, the entire small town is also built in imitation of the water city of Venice. The small buildings, the pier by the sea, and the gondola on the boating river are all exactly the same as the water city.
Find a motel where treasure hunters often live, and Hans and others live in it.
The treasure picker has a discount for staying in this motel called "Uncle Beard". The discount is free breakfast and free parking fee, which saves Li and Du a little money.
After stopping the car, Li Du took Ah Miao and Gan Gan Noodles out. It was his first visit to this small town and he wanted to have a good time.
The location of the hotel they stayed in was good, and the famous Venice seaside boulevard was just outside the door.
This wide seaside road is a quirky show, a people-watching zoo, known as a "weird carnival extravaganza".
Li Du had heard of this place a long time ago. It was a melting pot of counterculture, and many people dressed in weird ways.
For example, as soon as he went out, he ran into a group of teenagers with pigtails, cheap sunglasses, and colorful Jamaican berets in their hands, laughing like madmen and walking past him...
