Chapter 455: 454. Enthusiastic Brother Ma (Pastoral League+5)
High technology is to serve life.
With a fishing machine in hand, the fishing speed is very fast, as long as the fish is hooked, there is almost no need to run away.
The pulling machine is very sensitive to the feeling of power. It judges according to the pulling force given by the fishing line.
They stayed at Lake Powell that day and found a hotel to live in.
The fishing machine is a good thing, and Li Du didn't enjoy it after playing for two hours, but there are other treasure hunters waiting eagerly, so he can only get out of his seat first.
After landing, he found a convenience store by the lake, bought a set of postcards, and mailed them to Sophie.
The night at Lake Powell is very beautiful. There are no enterprises or pollution for thousands of miles, and the Utah Plateau is next to it. The air is thin, the light absorption is low at night, and the stars are extraordinarily brilliant.
There is a campsite by the lake, and many people live in tents outside at night.
Li Du stayed next to the coffee house on the pier. The hut went deep into the lake. Sitting by the lake and looking up at the bright stars, looking down at the lake was still bright stars. It felt wonderful.
The next day, when the treasure hunters had finished playing, they put away their fishing machines, formed a convoy again, and headed for Flagpole City.
It took them a long time to come out this time, and they stayed in Page and the Hopi reservation for a total of nearly a week.
But they gained a lot. The treasure hunters followed Li Du at the Glen Canyon Warehouse Company and made some money, and then they went to the Hopi reservation and made even more money.
There was nothing to do on the way back, so the group made some calculations, and optimistically found that if the hunting knife could be sold at a good price, they could earn tens of thousands of dollars this time.
After returning to Flagstaff City, Li Du relaxed. The rest of the work was handed over to Hans. He would dispose of the fishing machine and many hunting knives, and put other groceries into the camp for second-hand treasure hunters to clean up.
After resting in the camp, he bought a new mobile phone, and then wanted to go to Sophie to see how little Ah Ao was doing.
Before he went out, his phone rang, and it was Ma Zhian calling from Phoenix.
This time Ma Zhian helped him a lot, and Zhang Kai he introduced was very good.
Although in reality, even without the information provided by Zhang Kai, Li Du could have found the gun, and the fishing machine information he provided was even more useless.
But after all, it is a favor, and Zhang Kai saved him energy by providing information to him.
If he used small flying insects to inspect more than forty warehouses carefully, then the group of people from California he met later would definitely not have the energy to fight with them, let alone destroy the notepad with small flying insects.
So when he saw the call, he quickly connected it: "Hello, Brother Ma."
Ma Zhian's hearty laughter sounded: "Little Li, have you returned to Flagstaff City?"
Li Du was taken aback, and said, "Yes, I just came back, how do you know?"
Ma Zhian's laughter paused, and then he said: "Haha, I don't know, I'm just asking casually, you just went back? That's too coincidental."
"can I help you?"
Ma Zhian said: "It's like this, two things, the first one is that I talked to Brother Zhang two days ago, it's Zhang Kai, he should help you this time, right?"
Li Du said sincerely: "Yes, it was a great help."
Ma Zhian said: "That's good, that's how it is, Brother Li, although it is natural for us Chinese to help each other, didn't our ancestors say it? Reciprocate."
"What I mean is, if you make money this time, give Brother Zhang a gift or share points with him, so that he can enjoy himself. As you can see, Brother Zhang's life is very poor."
Li Du said: "Brother Ma, don't worry, I told Brother Zhang that I will give him a dividend. As for Brother Ma, I will also..."
"What are you talking about?" Ma Zhi'an immediately interrupted him, "Do you think Brother Ma is playing drums for you? Brother Ma, don't think too much, you don't need anything."
Li Du said: "Brother Ma, how can this be done?"
Ma Zhi'an said: "I'll do as long as I say, Brother Li, brother Ma is not being polite, brother Ma said something from the bottom of his heart, if you come to Phoenix, treat brother Ma to dinner, brother Ma is very happy, and he will definitely attend the appointment."
"But if you give any gifts or the like, then Brother Ma is not willing, so what is Brother Ma? An intermediary? A pimp? This is not the original intention of Brother Ma. I just hope that we Chinese can help each other! Can help You, brother Ma, are satisfied!"
His tone was extremely sincere, and Li Du could tell that he was not being polite, so it made him feel better.
Later, Ma Zhian said again: "By the way, let me talk about the second thing. Zhang Kai said that you have harvested famille roses this time? Antique cultural relics from the Qing Dynasty?"
Li Dugang wanted to say that it was a fake, but he suddenly realized that he had just returned, and he hadn't had anyone identify it, so he directly said that it was fake. If Ma Zhian told Zhang Kai, it might cause a misunderstanding.
So he said: "Yes, I got some beautiful porcelain, but I haven't identified the authenticity yet. I have to go to an appraisal agency to identify it."
Ma Zhian said with a smile: "The second thing I want to say is related to this. You can save the identification fee. We happen to have a few compatriots who can help."
Li Du became interested and asked, "Really? These big brothers have researched on antiques?"
With Xiao Chong's ability, he will inevitably deal with antiques and cultural relics in the future, so he needs to learn this knowledge, and he needs to develop contacts in this area.
Ma Zhian said: "Yes, they have research on antiques, not ordinary research, they are actually experts hired by Christie's branch on the west coast."
"They came to Phoenix this time to participate in an autumn auction in Arizona. You should know, right? Christie's autumn auction is very famous."
Li Du said, "Yes, I know."
Ma Zhian said: "That day we happened to be chatting together, they heard that Zhang Kai and I called and said they found pastels, so they became interested, so you can ask them to identify it."
This is just right, Li Du can save trouble.
Hearing his full promise, Ma Zhian said again: "There are four big brothers in total, all of us are compatriots. When you see the time is right, I will let them go to your place to have a look."
"Also, if you got any treasures from previous auctions, you can show them, maybe they can help you find a good buyer."
Li Dulian thanked him repeatedly. He was thinking about whether to show these people Gaddafi's copywriting saber and those papyrus. He hadn't counted these two things.
The two sides negotiated on the phone. He had plenty of time and could do it at any time. Ma Zhian said that it should be done as soon as possible, because the four antique experts were relatively busy in Phoenix.
After hanging up the phone, Li Du drove the Hellcat to the hospital to pick up Sophie who was off work.
