Chapter 631 The Multi-Millionaire (2/2)
For someone like Will, it was considered cheap to pay a few thousand dollars for a lesson learned.
Two bags of bread flour were being auctioned off at the small auction stand. Made of the best whole wheat flour, they were not cheap. The two bags weighing 100 kilograms had a starting bid of 500 dollars.
Thereafter, malting barley meant for brewing beer was put up for auction.
Hans was interested in this, and waved his hand to get hold of 200 kilograms of it. He was planning to use it to brew beer come springtime.
At the very end, someone pulled a clean-looking sheep onto the stand. This was the Kent sheep.
The auctioneer introduced the sheep, saying it was a superior livestock that could possibly rival Japanese wagyu in the future and be the pride of Arizona animal husbandry.
Hans said, ”If this breed could be cultivated, there would be the possibility of reaching this level.”
Will said, ”Yes, but it's tough. This brand has to be promoted by the government, but the Arizonan politicians only care about getting money into their own pockets and how to get promoted. They don't do any actual work.”
Kent sheep was really counterfeit wagyu. Their breeding process, breeding environment, food and drink were all developed using the cattle as a blueprint.
The starting bid for the sheep was 1,200 dollars, much lower than the price of wagyu. It was, however, considered very steep in terms of American mutton. An ordinary sheep would cost only 200 dollars in the United States.
Quite a few people were interested in the Kent sheep. In the end, Li Du paid 1,800 dollars to get it.
Twelve hundred dollars had been raised to 1,800 dollars. The difference was not that great but there were a few more of these sheep being offered. With the high repetition rate in this case, the increase of 50 percent in price was considered very high.
Hans went to pay while Li Du shouted for Godzilla and Big Quinn to move the sheep and the Men's Secret Hideout to the pickup truck. They then drove off, following Will's Mercedes to his house.
The pickup truck had travelled for a while and Li Du found that they were on a route familiar to him. ”I was here two days ago, when I went to Sophie's parents' home.”
Big Quinn, who was driving, said, ”You got robbed here?”
Li Du nodded, ”Yes.”
Godzilla punched his fist and said, ”Hope to bump into them today!”
A deadly gaze appeared in his eyes. This was a rare display of violence on his part.
When he had learned that Li Du was almost robbed, he felt very depressed. Although in name he was a mover, Li Du had treated him as though he were a bodyguard. He also prided himself on being one.
In the end, Li Du had met with two incidents. Godzilla had dropped the ball on both occasions, something which he felt extremely despondent about.
Will owned a beautiful villa in Flagstaff, which was located in the outskirts of the city. Surrounded by different styles of villas, it included a huge garden, lawn, play yard and swimming pool.
Big Quinn mentioned that this area was very famous for its villas. The housing prices were the highest in Flagstaff with each villa priced at five million dollars or more.
Costing such a high price, this beautiful villa would also need to be well managed.
They drove into the area where the villa was and two security officers came up to check. After receiving Will's verification, they were allowed to enter the villa's grounds.
Will lived on his own. He was recently divorced from his wife, and his two children were temporarily in LA with their mother. This time, he had come back not only because of the better climate in Flagstaff, but also to return to his hometown to unwind.
Upon arriving at the villa, they unloaded the items. Big Quinn and Godzilla immediately went to slaughter the sheep while Hans and Lu Guan assembled the Men's Secret Hideout, all set to get happy.
