Chapter 670 669. Horseshoe Town (35)

After communicating with Brother Wolf, Li Du went to find Hans who was on the phone, and said, "Leave Victoria and let her get along with Ivana."

Hans covered the microphone and said, "I'm working hard, but Mama Mesa is very stubborn, so I'll try."

Li Du waved his hands and said, "It's not about working hard, it's about doing our best. She must be kept. This is a political task."

Hans stared at him blankly, and then said to the phone: "Okay, Mommy Mesa, for God's sake, if you treat Xiao Fufu as your son as you promised, then let your children be reunited Bar……"

While talking, he came over and kicked Li Du away to prevent him from eavesdropping on the conversation.

More than ten minutes later, Hans hung up his phone and came out, sighing: "I have fulfilled my mission, Boss, I have completed my political mission."

Li Du nodded in satisfaction and said, "Good job, Xiao Fufu."

"Who is Xiao Fufu?" Da Ao, who was working, was taken aback.

Hans shouted frantically: "Shut up, I don't want to hear this title again, or I will fight with you!"

Li Du laughed out loud. He didn't expect Mesa's mother to give Hans such a nasty nickname.

Victoria stayed here. The cottage had two rooms and two beds, and the two little girls slept together.

Since dinner, the two girls started chatting about the evening's activities.

Ivana showed her the toy she was sleeping with and gave her a beautiful pajamas, while Victoria was drawing with great interest. Li Du took a look, and this girl was designing a decoration for their small room...

He said helplessly to Brother Wolf: "Take care of them, don't let them make trouble."

Brother Wolf smiled gently and said, "Yes, boss."

At the beginning of December, the two little girls lived together, and Li Du told Sophie about it.

Sophie was very happy and said that this was a good result. It was a good thing for the two introverted girls to comfort, support and encourage each other.

At the same time, from this period of time, Li Du frequently drove to the flea market.

In Flagstaff City and the surrounding area, there is not only Hessman's flea market, but also many towns and remote areas. There are large-scale flea markets, and he has to run to see them all.

Hans couldn't understand it. He felt that the second-hand goods trading market was less profitable than the storage auction market. The two were very familiar with the latter, so they shouldn't deal with the former.

Li Du couldn't explain that he went to the flea market not only to make money, but also to replenish energy for Xiao Chong.

Before paying taxes, he still has nearly 30 million US dollars in his hands. This is too much money, so much that he doesn't like the warehouse auction market.

There is not much money to be made in the flea market, but there is time and energy for the little flying insect to absorb, which is much better than him making small money.

Flagstaff City touches the Colorado Plateau, the northwest end is the Colorado River, and on the southeast bank of this river is another old goods trading center called Horseshoe Town.

The Colorado River bends like a horseshoe for several sections as it flows through Arizona. Li Du saw one when he went to the Hopi reservation before, that is, Horseshoe Bend.

The Horseshoe Town they were going to this time was not directly related to the Horseshoe Bend he had seen, but the place where the river curved this time had a similar shape, so the town got its name.

They drove over, and Hans sat in the co-pilot and yawned, "Okay, let's go to Horseshoe Bay, the remote Horseshoe Bay, even if we don't make any money, at least we can get some grilled fish, right? ?”

There are many freshwater fish in the Colorado River, among which salmon is a famous product.

Salmon in winter are when they return to spawn. At this time, they are very fat and attract a lot of gourmets.

Li Du said: "Be patient, buddy, be patient, we can make money in this market. Besides, don't you bother to participate in storage auctions all the time? How about a change of environment?"

Hans snorted, "Huh? Annoying? We are jobs, and jobs are annoying, but jobs can make money. Yes, why am I telling you this? You are a billionaire now."

He said 'billionaire' in a sarcastic tone, but he guessed right, Li Du is really worth over 100 million.

The two pickup trucks galloped all the way, and after a few hours, they finally drove into the small town.

Horseshoe Town is an old-fashioned town that has been established for more than two hundred years. It is the earliest settlement of whites, blacks and Indians in Arizona.

At first, there were casinos, Indian casinos. The casino attracted many people, and many of the settlers in the early years came to the casino.

The reason why casinos are built here is that private casinos were not allowed in the United States in the past. There are large rivers, forests, and mountains in the area. The terrain is complex and steep. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. casino.

Later, with the rise of Las Vegas, and with the US government allowing Indians to open casinos on a tribal basis, the town declined.

It is definitely more profitable to open casinos in densely populated places, and many small casinos have relocated.

The casino moved, and the residents who came for the casino also moved, so there were a lot of daily items that could not be taken away and needed to be traded.

Since then, a large-scale flea market has appeared in the local area, and many surrounding Indian tribes and villages and towns have heard the news and come to trade.

In this way, with the passage of time, the town did not disappear due to the relocation of the casino, and of course it did not expand in size, but the trading market became bigger and bigger, and some residents in the town were lost or moved in, and it finally survived.

To this day, the road to the town is still difficult. Some sections of the road are dirt roads, and there are no roads, which means that pickup trucks with high horsepower and high chassis can pass by.

After wandering around in the rugged mountains for a while, a road reappeared, and there was a very tall sign at the intersection, which was U-shaped and said: Welcome to Horseshoe Town, or get rich or lose your pants.

There is also a sign on the top of the signboard, which is a big fish pulled by a fishing line. This is the specialty of the town, American sockeye salmon.

Unlike Hessman Town, the thrift trade business in Horseshoe Town is not a stall on the ground. There are many large and small thrift shops here.

Among them, the large thrift store was converted from a casino, and the small thrift store was converted from a family house. Along the main road, the outdoor walls of every house have openings, and there are containers inside.

Looking at the shops with open walls, Li Du thought of the canteens in his hometown when he was a child. They had similar shapes and similar container styles.

Another similarity is that this town is about the same size as the village in his hometown.

Horseshoe Town is too small, covering an area of ​​less than 300 acres, just over one square kilometer. There are not many residents in it, but there are many tourists.
