Every storage auction was a battle, and when it came to selling the goods, it was like the Battle of Yamazaki.
Hans had successfully secured his victory. The moment he pointed out the key facts about these alligator skins, Hart laughed, and that was when Li Du knew that they were going to win.
The two parties began officially negotiating their prices, which was what Hans was good at. Li Du didn’t need to participate, so he brought Godzilla outside and they went to find some cold beverages.
The weather was too hot. The moment the door opened, heat waves struck them head-on.
With a large cup of iced orange juice at hand, Godzilla downed it in one gulp.
Li Du tapped the counter and said, ”Another five cups.”
Godzilla said apologetically, ”Too many.”
”Ah? Can’t drink anymore?” Li Du asked in shock.
Godzilla rubbed his hands together. ”I can.”
”Then another five more cups.”
Godzilla gleefully looked at the table full of large cups, his face beaming with happiness.
After finishing the cold beverages, Hans walked over whistling, and in his hand was a check. Once he saw that the table was full of empty cups, he immediately said furiously, ”Your brother was fighting for his life while you guys were here having a time of your lives?”
”Give my brother here a draft of ice-cold beer. Make it large.” Li Du knew how to pacify his anger.
”Two glasses!” Hans said unhappily.
”Then make it two,” Li Du laughed. ”So how much did you make?”
While speaking of profits, his anger dissipated in an instant, and he said proudly, ”The specimens made a total of 28,000 dollars, and the alligator leather sold for 150,000.”
Li Du exclaimed, ”That’s awesome, man!”
Together with the profit made from the oak furniture and other junk, he had made a total of about 90,000 from this run. With another 10,000, he would have been able to join the Hundred Thousand club.
Hans had apparently thought of that as well, and said, regretfully, ”It was just a little more we needed to make, but this ‘little bit’ is difficult to achieve. But now we’re considered a pending member of the Hundred Thousand club.”
Li Du had enough drinks, while Hans and Godzilla continued drinking. Li Du had nothing to do, so he thought of calling Sophie.
The phone rang for some time before it was picked up, followed by Sophie’s soothing voice and the sharp whining of the siren from an ambulance. ”Hello, Li, sorry, I’d just heard my phone ring.”
”It’s fine—you seem busy?”
”Yeah, I don’t have much time to talk to you, the situation is horrible. Oh my god, I’m so flustered,” The female doctor said in distress.
Li Du asked, ”What happened?”
Sophie summarized the situation and said, ”I’m on the ambulance, and there’s a patient with a gunshot wound and needs emergency care. But, d*mmit, we’re stuck in traffic due to another car accident!”
To make the gentle and elegant female doctor say a word like ”d*mmit” showed how serious the situation was.
Li Du immediately stood up and asked, ”Which road are you on?”
”On Highway AX102, the traffic here is horrible. Oh God, I can’t talk anymore, got to go.” Li Du heard someone shout Sophie’s name and she quickly hung up.
Hans heard his conversation, gave a satisfied burp from the beer and asked, ”What happened? Did your lover meet with an accident?”
Li Du rolled his eyes and said, ”Don’t talk nonsense, what lover? Sophie’s on the ambulance, and it’s stuck in traffic.”
Hans stood up immediately and said, ”Quick, let’s go over and see if we can help.”
