Chapter 337 336. Warehouse with Attic (Monthly Pass +57)
Looking at the names of warehouse companies included in the auction plan, Li Du decided to stay in Los Angeles for the rest of August. With so many warehouses, there will always be something to gain.
He called Godzilla and told him to drive over and bring his crossbow.
Los Angeles is the territory of Frank Ball and Yorke. He once offended these two people severely. If the two sides meet later, there may be trouble.
They got up early in the morning, Hans rented a pickup truck, and the three of them drove to the warehouse company that was about to start to check for valuables.
Los Angeles is the largest county in the United States. It is a metropolitan area that radiates a vast area around it. It is difficult to move without a car here.
The first warehouse is located next to the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels. It is called the "Pious Heart Warehouse Company". It is medium-sized and has hundreds of warehouses.
The Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels is one of the most famous churches in Los Angeles. It is a bit like the Church of the Holy Cross in Flagstaff City, but larger and more magnificent.
Blending gothic elements with bold modern design, this church was built less than ten years ago, and it is still very new and magnificent.
Da Ao is a devout Christian, so after arriving at the warehouse company, the two of them went to check the warehouse, and Da Ao started to visit.
Pious Heart has relatively few warehouses to be auctioned. There are five warehouses in total. Li Du released small flying insects to wander around, and said decisively: "Let's go, there is no money to be made here."
The five warehouses are all ordinary household warehouses, which are almost full of household garbage, piled together, which makes Li Du have no interest.
Leaving the warehouse company, the cathedral is outside. Li Du thought about it and said, "Let's go to the church too."
Hans said: "What's the matter, have you converted to the embrace of God?"
Li Du said: "Stop talking nonsense here, and be careful of being beaten!"
The church was built in 2002 and is full of artistic atmosphere. After he walked in, the soft light came in from the alabaster windows, making the church extraordinarily bright and quiet.
Behind the pulpit, an organ band was playing, and Dao knelt in prayer before the statue of the Virgin with folded hands.
Li Du walked over and heard someone beside him whispering: "The Holy Mother will not forgive him, I bet that guy is definitely a killer!"
"No, he's a thug, the kind who works for gangsters."
"In any case, may Our Lady and God forgive his sins."
Li Du couldn't laugh or cry, this American is also very good at judging people by their appearance.
When he entered the church, he saw that there were free postcards in the church, and wanted to find two beautiful ones to mail to Sophie.
As a result, these postcards are not issued indefinitely, there is a daily limit, and the distribution has now ended.
A tourist next to him got a postcard, and several people were appreciating it.
So Li Du went over and asked politely, "Can I buy your postcard?"
A man who looked like a tour guide shook his head and said, "Sorry, this is our souvenir, we don't plan to sell it."
Li Du shrugged regretfully, and asked, "Then do you know where such postcards are sold?"
Hans signaled him not to worry, and said calmly, "Ten yuan a piece."
"No, you misunderstood sir, we came to Los Angeles from Argentina to..."
"Twenty yuan a piece."
A tourist next to him started to move, Hans didn't want to waste time, and said, "Fifty yuan a piece!"
Someone immediately handed him the postcard in his hand: "Yes."
Soon, Hans bought six postcards, and Li Du picked the two most beautiful ones, wrote blessings on them, sent one to Sophie's hospital, and one to her home.
He didn't want to waste the remaining four, so he distributed one to the Martins, Rose, Da O's family, and Hannah.
The second warehouse is located next to Beverly Hills. This is an exquisite small warehouse company. There are more than 60 warehouses in it, mainly for the residents of the villa.
Beverly Hills is full of rich people, and it is easier to find valuables in warehouses here, so every auction, the transaction price is higher.
Under such circumstances, warehouse companies naturally do not need to accumulate multiple warehouses to be auctioned together, and they cannot accumulate multiple warehouses, after all, the total amount is too small.
There were two warehouses to be auctioned. Li Du searched carefully and found some brand new furniture, home appliances, and a motorcycle.
These two warehouses are of some value, so he decided to come and take a look later.
Los Angeles city was congested, and it was already noon after visiting two warehouse companies.
Li Du was about to find a place to have lunch, Hans said: "Let's go to the Memorial Stadium, there is a warehouse company there, and I also know that there is a great Chilean restaurant there."
The Los Angeles Memorial Stadium was built in 1923 and is the oldest large stadium in the city. It once hosted the 1932 and 1984 Summer Olympics.
Because of the two Olympic Games, the stadium has become a tourist attraction, and the crowd was crowded. It was already two o'clock in the afternoon when they drove to the restaurant.
"Damn it, why are there so many people in Los Angeles? Have people from all over the world come here?" Hans muttered dissatisfied.
Before going abroad, Li Du had been to the capital, he just smiled and said nothing, how stupid is this person? Not much at all.
There are also advantages to having a large number of people, that is, the restaurant is open around the clock, and they can order normally when they enter the restaurant.
Hans ordered green chile peppers, smoked and salty scallion skewers, cheese gravy, poutine fries and other delicacies, accompanied by craft beer and mint lemonade. The three had a great time eating.
After dinner, they went to the third warehouse company, which was relatively large, with a total of four to five hundred warehouses rented out.
The warehouse company is located between Exposition Park and the USC campus and serves both places, and there are some museums around, so there may be good things in the warehouse.
When Li Du arrived at the warehouse company, he was surprised to find that the warehouse had a loft!
Looking at the warehouses that looked like small villas, he asked, "Why does this have an attic?"
Hans said, "In order to increase the usable space."
Li Du let out little flying insects and said with a casual smile, "Then why don't we build high-rise buildings?"
Hans rolled his eyes and said: "Are you stupid? After building a high-rise building, how do you throw useless big appliances and furniture into it? Take the elevator?"
Li Du raised his middle finger at him disdainfully, ignoring you.
The little flying insect flew to warehouse No. 22, and then saw some glassware in the warehouse, which seemed to be chemicals, and there were traces of use.
Considering that there is the University of Southern California next to it, it is not difficult to understand. Obviously, there are chemical or biological students who have rented warehouses here to do experiments.
There were some broken flower petals stored in the container. Li Du searched and felt that they were worthless and there was no need to waste energy.
He was about to leave, but saw that there was still a small attic, so he let the little flying insects fly into the attic.
