Chapter 1087 Prison Auction (2/2)
Certainly, they were jailed in Miami, but who knows, they could get some ideas about good things that might be found in Phoenix's prison as well. Anyway, everyone believed in Li Du's business sense.
In early November, the Blackstone Town Prison in Phoenix would hold its first auction in history, and the things stored in the prison would be auctioned out.
The news attracted a large number of people who came to participate in the auction. When Li Du drove his Rolls-Royce into the prison parking lot, he found that it was full of cars, all of which were trucks. When they arrived at the prison gate, Li Du took one look around and removed his sunglasses in shock. ”Shit, how many people have you notified?!”
He knew that Hans said he expected a hundred people. At least two hundred people have shown up, however. The prison gates were crowded.
Hans, too, was stunned by the number of people. He smiled and said, ”Damn, I only informed forty people, how can there be so many of them?”
Later, some people followed them and waited for them to stop to say hello. ”Hey, Boss Li, Boss Fox, your new car is cool.”
”It's so cool, this is the first time I see such a finely painted skull on a Rolls Royce.”
”Whoever painted it is obviously very talented. It's so spooky! When you look closely, you see a map with rivers and lakes!'
Li Du pulled a wry face while the treasure hunters admired the painting on the Rolls Royce.
Some of the treasure hunters who had status in Arizona came to look for them, and asked with concern, ”Boss Li, did the bastards in Miami wrong you?”
With this prison turmoil, not only did several big shots come to Li Du's aid, but many of the treasure hunters also helped during the course of the case.
The treasure hunters in Arizona were very respectful to them. In addition to the Tucson community helping them out, many treasure hunters supported them through interviews, complaints, Twitter and social media.
In the flagpole city, Bearded Karl, Dickens, and others even launched a small-scale demonstration, asking the local government to interfere in the case and protect the rights of the people.
Looking at the treasure hunters who came to express their concern, Li Du said, ”It's OK, thank you for your help. Tell you what, after the auction, I will host a party to thank all of you. There will be plenty of food and drinks!”
”Will there be dancers?”
”Boss Fox will find at least fifty beautiful ladies to dance for you,” Li Du laughed.
The treasure hunters around them were all excited. ”Okay, we will be sure to go!”
The treasure hunters were in good spirits and had the news passed around. When someone offered to treat everyone to a party, it would surely raise their popularity.
The armed policeman on duty was dissatisfied. He shouted into a loudspeaker, ”Quiet, quiet, everyone be quiet, divide into four groups for inspection and get ready to come into the prison!”
”We are prepared to make money, but not ready to go to jail,” A treasure hunter joked with the prison guard.
It was very important to follow orders because the auction was held in prison. The prison guards were prepared to prevent any rioting at this time.
After undergoing a strict inspection, the treasure hunters lined up to pass through the X-ray detector, which would scan them for anything dangerous before they could enter the prison.
Even so, they could not explore too far into the prison. In the past two days, the warden made the prisoners work overnight and move all the things into the warehouse in front of the windy yard.
