Chapter 873 Ten Million Club (2/2)
”Yes, that is him.” Hans said helplessly, ”Could we be so unlucky that he is George's son? Our luck is really terrible if he is.”
Julie, who had been quiet all this time, answered his question. ”Conrad Anthony's father is George Anthony. I guess you are in a little trouble right now.”
”What kind of trouble?” Li Du asked casually.
Julie answered, ”You have pissed off George Anthony's son.”
Li Du shrugged and said, ”What do you mean, we have pissed off Anthony's son? It was him who pissed us off. Fine, the incident has already passed. Let's just get ready for the press conference.”
Julie pouted and said, ”Mr. Li, you are a brave man.”
Of course Li Du was brave. George Anthony was not George Washington. He was not related to the current president, senators, or anyone in that field. He was just a treasure hunter with a little bit of money.
They were treasure hunters, too, but Li Du was actually richer than Anthony was. Moreover, it was George Anthony's son who pissed him off first. Why would he be afraid?
The state office lobby was currently set up as a stage for the press conference. There was a podium right in front, and there were cameramen who had their cameras facing that spot. Behind them were many reporters who were holding microphones.
After entering the office lobby, Li Du met with another acquaintance. He was a famous treasure hunter in California, Magic Hand Johnson.
When they saw each other, Johnson flashed his neat, white teeth and gave Li Du a big smile. He shook hands with Li Du and Hans as he said, ”Hey partners, we meet again. What a pleasure!”
After both parties exchanged a few words, Johnson went straight to the point and asked, ”Hey Li, what is your target this time? Bring me along to make some money.”
Li Du shook his head. ”It should be you who brings me along to make money. You must have earned quite a lot last time during the villa auction in Los Angeles.”
”But I'm sure it won't be more than you earned recently. I know that you had your hands on an abalone harvesting permit that is worth four or five million dollars, and you have earned a lot from harvesting abalones,” Johnson said.
As the two of them were chatting, a man wearing a suit, shiny shoes, a necktie, and a meticulous hairstyle walked towards them.
Li Du thought he was a government staffer, but Johnson and Hans straightened their backs as they saw him. Hans said in a low voice, ”The great Chris Bell. He is a tough character... a tough character in the $10,000,000 club!”
Li Du stood up straight without realizing it upon hearing the introduction.
Although he was now a man who was worth billions and who might have a chance to get up to several billions after buying Seagull Island, he still had the utmost respect for the top king in the same industry.
This was the respect for the strong. As he was in the industry, he knew the difficulty of earning money in it, so he definitely was a king among the people since he could become a member of the $10,000,000 club.
Chris Bell walked over to them. Johnson waved to him as he said, ”Hi, brother. Chris, what is so hot in storage this time that got you to come here, too?”
”I am here to meet two young talented men.” Chris Bell smiled and said, ”An outstanding talent is always the most precious treasure.”
