Chapter 888 Everyone’s Gain (2/2)

Bell laughed. ”Then I'll toast him tonight and apologize for my mistake.”

Hans was curious. ”Who did you invite? A basketball star?”

”You'll know tomorrow. Have fun today.” Bell winked at him.

After Li Du and the others arrived the next day, the rest of the people arrived gradually. When the last person arrived, there were over forty people—the team was quite large.

From the identity of the treasure collectors he'd invited, they could see his contacts in the industry. Those who participated in the activity were all the heroes in the warehousing auction industry—at least One Hundred Thousand Dollar Club members.

The treasure collectors were mainly from California and the neighboring Arizona, where Li Du was popular because he'd picked on Boll and York.

Frank Boll had mania, and he had offended a lot of people in California, and the reason why California treasure collectors were hostile to Li Du in the past was that they were low-level treasure hunters.

Boll had offended the treasure collectors of his level, the low-level ones who, instead of provoking him, were on good terms with him.

The topic of the chat was the government warehouse auction, which had happened not long ago.

Needless to say, Li Du had harvested the most out of everyone, and they found several tons of India black tea bricks that cost millions of dollars.

Besides, the magician had gained a lot.

In the warehouses, he'd photographed a 40-year-old Yamaha motorcycle and an antique car that had great potential in the motorcycle collection market and was worth millions.

Bell got a couple of fancy yacht engines, which together could be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Chatting about their harvest, someone asked Princeps, ”Hey, buddy, you got a lot of warehouses. What goods did you snag? How about telling us?”

Princeps smirked. ”I haven't had time to sort out the goods. Oh, I mean, it's my men who are going to take care of it.”

”Your men? Aren't you now working under others too?” joked the Playboy.

Princeps glared at him. ”Hey, this is not a good place for conflict. We are all guests of Chris.”

Neither Conrad nor Princeps had gained much at the auction, and they didn't want to be a joke, so Conrad expanded on the subject, saying, ”I didn't care about this auction because I got a bunch of North Korean veteran badges from Tucson.”

”What's the use of that?”

Conrad wore an exaggerated expression. ”What's the use? That's North Korea, man, mysterious North Korea! Have any of you been to North Korea? None of you, except the North Korean soldiers' badges!”

”There are fifty-two badges. I traveled around Tucson for ten days and then made 800,000 dollars,” said Princeps.

Conrad glanced defiantly at Li Du and asked, ”Man, I heard your business has expanded to Australia. What did you get there?”

Princeps smiled. ”There must be a lot of good stuff. He's been there for more than half a year.”

”I got a helicopter. But my main auction, the mine, was a good one. I found gems, and they were estimated to be worth tens of millions,” said Li Du casually.
