Chapter 339 338. This Is Fame (1)

Pershing Square is a landmark building in Los Angeles. It is named in memory of Admiral Pershing. It is located in the historic district of the city center. It is the first public park in Los Angeles and a tourist attraction.

Since its completion in 1866, the square has undergone many renovations and has kept pace with the times. It has not been eliminated by the times, and it is still performing the function of entertaining the public.

The most recent modification of the square took place in February 1994. It was redesigned in a postmodern style. Later, although the square did not undergo major repairs, minor repairs continued.

For example, the latest repair happened at the beginning of the year, and the network was installed in the square, and now the whole square can be connected to WIFI.

Pershing Square is a rare open public space in the ancient downtown area of ​​Los Angeles. Li Du and the others arrived at the auction company early and stayed in the square for a while instead of going in.

At this time, the sun was hanging in the eastern sky, and the golden sunlight shone down. The weather was not too hot, and it was not uncomfortable to shine on people.

There are some breakfast carts on the square. Godzilla bought a bunch of sandwiches, hamburgers and other fast food in the past, and took them back to eat happily with Dao.

Li Du was not interested in these things. When he saw a Chinese food truck, he went to buy a small steamed bun.

It turned out that the Xiaolongbao was unexpectedly delicious, with soup in it, so he drank soy milk and ate four baskets of Xiaolongbao, which cost 50 yuan.

The price of this breakfast is a bit high, but considering that this is the center of Los Angeles, and the breakfast cart is slow and expensive to make steamed buns, the price of 50 yuan is acceptable.

While eating, he sat on the square seats.

The chairs are interesting, with old postcards on the backs.

The postcards are all made of porcelain, and they describe the cityscape of Los Angeles in the past in black and white photos. The clarity is very high, and it can help people recall the past of the city.

After breakfast and resting in the square, the four of them went to the auction.

There were a total of six warehouses to be auctioned, and more than forty people came. Obviously, a place like Los Angeles has no shortage of people, especially treasure hunters.

Hans looked around, shook his head and said, "No threat."

Li Du said: "It seems that there are quite a few people."

Hans sneered and said, "They are all jobless people. These guys see that there is no threshold for the warehouse auction industry, so they just want to get rich by good luck. It's too simple."

Although the two of them communicated in private, the warehouse company is such a big place, except for the necessary aisles and corridors, other places are warehouses.

After all, this is downtown Los Angeles, and every inch of land is not a joke.

More than forty people gathered in the aisle. Even though Hans' voice was quiet, someone nearby could still hear him.

They were chatting when a big black man suddenly stretched out his hand and pushed Hans, and said in a nasty voice, "What were you talking about just now?"

Hans was staggered by his push, and Li Du teased, "Dude, it's time for you to exercise, why are you so weak now?"

The treasure hunters around burst into laughter, most of them didn't know the two of them, and thought they were having internal strife.

But after all, someone saw Hans and Li Du, and saw the big black man push Hans, and these people backed away one after another, lest innocent people would be harmed later.

Hans wasn't angry. He staggered and stood firm. He turned around and said, "Let me remind you that not everyone can mess with storage auctions. If you want to make money by luck, you might as well buy a lottery."

The big man raised his middle finger at him and said, "I'll buy your penis."

Hans sighed: "God left you a way out, why did you block it with shit?"

The big man said fiercely: "Shut up, foreigner, don't provoke me, or I will crush your head!"

Hans walked over and said, "Come on, crush my head."

The big man hit him with his chest with a gloomy face, but just as he took a step, two strong men squeezed in and pushed him against the wall.

Being blocked by the wall by two strong men with a height of two meters one, the big man suddenly panicked and shouted: "Damn it, what is this for?"

"Aren't you going to crush my head? But it seems that you have to crush my two brothers first." Hans said with a grin.

A treasure picker next to him added: "Idiot, you really dare to provoke anyone. This is Boss Li and Boss Fu from Qigan City. Have you seen many Chinese treasure pickers? No vision!"

"Who are Boss Li and Boss Fu?" Some treasure hunters whispered to each other.

Someone replied: "The most legendary treasure picker in Flagstaff City, that Chinese is a genius. He may be the person who took the shortest time to join the 100,000 club from the 10,000 yuan club."

"The last time Warner Brothers' film and television warehouse held an auction, the two of them cleaned up Boll and York!"

"Poll and York of the million-dollar club? Oh, they're kind of in the million-dollar club."

The big black man was frightened into silence, and said weakly: "Sorry, I must have lost my head just now, Boss Fu, I'm sorry."

Hans didn't have the same knowledge as him, and after all, he was the one talking nonsense, so he waved his hand to get Godzilla out of the way.

This incident was just a small episode in the auction, the big black man had no face to stay here, and he was also afraid of being retaliated when there was no one else, so he left in a hurry.

The auction started, and Li Du's previous bids were only tentative.

When he arrived at the fourth warehouse, he began to bid seriously after seeing the fire extinguishers scattered in two large boxes.

It may be that the images of Godzilla and Daou that came out earlier were more intimidating. When he bid for the fourth warehouse, other treasure hunters withdrew from the competition.

The auctioneer pointed at him and said, "A hundred yuan, a hundred yuan, is this warehouse so cheap? Everyone has to see clearly what's inside, it's more than a hundred yuan..."

From the outside, this warehouse is worthless, and this is the reason why everyone does not participate in the quotation.

In the end, Li Du won the warehouse at a very low price of one hundred yuan.

After the auction was over, they hurried to the next house without caring about cleaning up the warehouse.

There is another warehouse company holding an auction today, and this one has a relatively large number, with a total of eleven warehouses.

After they rushed over, the third warehouse was auctioned. This auction attracted more treasure hunters, with more than 80 people gathered together.

The two squeezed in, and someone pushed Li Du from the side, and Li Du bumped into a treasure hunter.

The treasure picker frowned and turned his head. Seeing him, he smiled and said, "Boss Li? Hello."

Li Du nodded with a smile, then looked to the side with a gloomy face.

A big bald man smiled triumphantly at him: "Hey, Chinaman, are you a soft-footed shrimp? You almost fell when you were walking just now."
