Chapter 245 The Boss Li (2/2)

”We are not intended to increase our manpower,” Li Du smiled. ”That’s enough of a team with me, Big Fox and Godzilla.”

He and Hans didn’t plan to increase their manpower. Furthermore, these people were not up to their standards.

He was willing to work with Hans, not only because he felt like a brother to Li Du, but he also knew the customs, culture, and business rules of America well. He was really helpful.

Now, he had immense popularity Flagstaff, in the industry of storage auctions. He was often addressed as the bellwether.

Since his debut, he made a profit at every auction, beating Carl, Rambis, and the Rick father and son pair. These victories caused him to become famous.

The Los Angeles movie storage auction was where he had gained the most fame and respect. He beat out the members of Hundred Thousand Club, earning a big name in the treasure hunting industry.

The treasure hunters in Flagstaff respected him not just because of this.

In LA, when Olly had been bullied, he was the only one who had helped. The Americans advocated heroism, and he well-deserved to be called a hero after that incident.

Afterwards, he had the opportunity to join the Hundred Thousand Club, but Hans didn’t. He purposely declined the club’s invitation and decided to join with Hans in the future.

He had shown more of his compassionate spirit with this behavior. This news had reached the ears of treasure hunters, and everyone who knew it gave him a big thumb up.

The treasure hunters were mostly obstinate people—once they were impressed, they stayed impressed.

With all these factors, everyone wanted to join his team. They would make money, they would be well-treated, and Li Du had a brotherhood-valuing spirit. Where could you find such an amazing boss?

It was too hot outside; Li Du felt too lazy to investigate all the storage.

There were only five storage units. Now that he was good at controlling bug, it would be able to check everything very quickly.

It was not that he wasn’t used to hardship, but Jerome was too hot. He was scared to have a heat stroke while checking all the units, which would not be worth the effort.

Back in the room, Hans opened the window. Lying on the bed and breathing in the breeze, Li Du was comfortable and felt a little sleepy.

One more advantage staying on the mountain: one could stargaze at night. The stars were much better at this altitude.

Jerome was once a mining town, and had been seriously polluted. With the depletion of mining resources, many energy firms had withdrawn from the town. With help from the government, the environment was slowly recovering.

That night, they felt too lazy to go down into the town for dinner. So, they bought some barbecue from the hotel and prepared to barbecue on the top of the mountain outside the hotel.

”This building belonged to the owners’ family who lived in the apartment downstairs. After that, the mining firm moved. So, this building was empty, and now it has become a hotel.”

The courtyard outside the hotel was provided for the families of miners.

Just like the hotel, the courtyard was a bit rugged. But it was tough and steady so people didn’t need to worry about the danger caused by the movement of rocks.

They rented a grill from the hotel and brought it to the courtyard, preparing for the barbecue.

Some treasure hunters walked out from the elevator. Seeing them barbecuing, one of the treasure hunters held a cooler and said, ”How could you eat barbeque in such hot weather? I’ve got some fruit—here you go.”

”Thanks, buddy,” Li Du raised his bottle and said.

”Boss Li, you are welcome. We hope that we all have a good warehouse to work with— as long as we can each claim a share.” The treasure hunters were astonished.

Li Du nodded his head. ”Sit back and relax—we’ll make money together!”

”Thanks, Boss Li.”

”We’ll drink together again, Boss Li.”

”I ordered some pizza—it’s the best. You must have a slice.”
