”How big is the scale of the auction?” Li Du asked.
He did not receive any answer. Hans just left him with a simple response: ”You'll know when you go.”
Although Li Du did not think that he could earn as much in the auction as he could finding fire opals here, he still decided to participate.
The reason being he needed the rest.
Indeed, it might be ironic that in the past when his job was in storage unit auctions, coming to the national park to see the Petrified Forest was considered a break. Now, it was the other way around.
The search for fire opals was too tiring. Of course, he could make it less tiring by curbing his ambition and slowing down the search.
However, he was unable to do so knowing that there were countless US dollars under his feet. He could not stand the temptation and always wanted to quickly dig out the opals.
As such, after the past few days, he was utterly exhausted and needed a short break away from the national park.
Furthermore, he needed to deal with the fire opals in his possession and Winslow was not suitable to do so. He could sell 30 plus gemstones to Owen at once without any problem, but he could not continuously sell him that many gemstones.
Winslow was a very small place with a poor market for gemstones. As such, Owen was regrettably already short on cash. Moreover, at the rate Li Du was selling fire opals, there may be unforeseen problems that he would encounter once the news was out.
It was also time for Sophie to go home and prepare for her father's birthday, which he needed to prepare for as well.
Counting according to days, his schedule would be very tight as it was the old man's birthday right after the Las Vegas auction.
They returned to Flagstaff. Hans was leisurely playing video games at camp, with Lu Guan and Chen Haonan next to him. The three of them took turns furiously moving the joystick while watching the huge television.
After staring for a moment, Li Du said, ”Wow. 'Call of Duty?' Well done.”
Hans casually turned his head to look and said in astonishment, ”Oh bro, aren't you supposed to be on vacation? Could it be that you and Sophie had a honeymoon while you were there? Singing through the night?”
”P*ss off,” Li Du said darkly. ”What nonsense are you saying?”
After Hans cast aside the joystick, Big Quinn took over as he liked playing this kind of game.
”Look at yourself. Look at yourself! Why are you so haggard?”
Li Du, who also knew how haggard he looked, touched his face. Truth be told, he looked very haggard, so he could not have continued staying at the national park. Otherwise, after a long period of time there, he might lose all of his energy and die abruptly.
He went to wash his face and said, ”All right, tell me about the situation of this auction.”
Hans hesitantly said, ”How about we don't go. You probably need to rest. D*mn it, I have never seen you this tired!”
Li Du smiled. ”I know my own condition. I'm fine. Tell me, what's this auction's situation?”
”The situation is unclear,” Hans replied. ”All I know is that there's a cash storage unit auction in Las Vegas. I don't think we should miss this opportunity. I would like to go take a look.”
He went into the house, opened the safe, and took out a receipt. It was the sales slip of the celebrity signed sports equipment, which listed the price that each piece of equipment had been sold at.
Hans hadn't lied. The batch of sports equipment had indeed been sold for an astonishing total price of 1,660,000 dollars.
The most valuable item was the signed Yankees pitching machine, which sold for 580,000 dollars!
