Chapter 1087 Prison Auction (1/2)

Li Du was busy pacifying his little ones while Hans was engaged in his so-called business.

Hans did not go home for two consecutive days, and when he finally came on the third day, he proudly gave Li Du a piece of printed paper.

Li Du took it with a curious look. The most conspicuous thing about the paper was the header, in large characters: Phoenix Blackstone Prison Warehouse Auction!

Li Du quickly glanced at the article and asked, ”Prison warehouse auction? Hey, Phoenix does this kind of auction here? Interesting, interesting indeed.”

Hans nodded proudly and said, ”Yes, the warehouse in Blackstone Prison will be auctioned off. I have a hunch that we can salvage a nice sum of money from here.”

Li Du rubbed his chin. ”I will go all out. Speaking of this, how did the prison suddenly start an auction? Is it the profit-making strategy we suggested at Miami Prison that was popularized all over the country?”

Having said that, he laughed. ”If this is the case, I deserve some credit. It was my idea in the first place.”

Hans opened his eyes wide as he heard this. ”How can you be so shameless? Why is Blackstone Prison holding an auction? Don't you have any ideas why?”

”I presume it's all due to my brilliant suggestion,” Li Du said with a smile.

Hans pushed him and shouted, ”You bastard! It was me! I've been going after the warden for the past two days and convinced him to auction off the prison warehouse!”

The five little ones joined forces and surrounded Hans. Ali jumped forward like a small cannon, punched Hans in the lower abdomen and then turned around and ran away in a flash.

It had learned from Ah Meow and Ah Ow, who had traumatized it. Now that it has gained some knowledge and learned its lesson, it immediately ran off after launching an attack.

Hans reached out to get back at Ali but it was too quick. Ah Ow then gave him a bite from behind, and he turned around, but Ah Ow got away too. Ah Ow clawed his back from behind again.

This made him grievous. ”I have worked so hard, I've achieved so much, and now you discredit me, and I still have to bear the bullying of your little bastards.”

Li Du laughed and patted him on the shoulder. ”I am joking with you, how can I not know that it's all thanks to you?”

The prison was eager to get the extra funds, hence the auction was to be held two days later.

Hans went around informing the people of the treasure hunt business to prepare for the auction and left the work of exploring the prison warehouse to Li Du.

Treasure hunters generally preferred fewer participants at a warehouse auction.

However, this time Hans hoped that more people would participate because he had assured the warden that at least a hundred people will come to the auction.

It was not difficult to attract one hundred treasure hunters. The warehouses in each prison stored many things, usually for more than a decade, and the people would absolutely be interested in that.

The problem was that the auction would be happening in two days, which was too short a time for effectively promoting it, and this would lead to fewer participants.

Hans used his contacts and had the people pass the information along.

The upcoming auction garnered great interest. The rumor said that Li Du asked him to persuade the warden to agree to hold an auction. As for why Li Du asked him to do this, needless to say, there must be something good in the warehouse!

Almost everybody knew that Li Du and the others had been imprisoned, so they had the opportunity to find some goods in prison.
