Chapter 1418 Revenue (1/2)
After coming back this time, Li Du was very busy, and the pressure was no less than when he went to the mountains to look for treasure.
Of course, this consequence was acceptable. After all, just after the holiday, he had accumulated many jobs. If he carefully considered, he found that things were a little too much!
First, he decided to live in Los Angeles, which meant he would have to solve his housing problem. Second, there were the gold processing tasks. Third, the diamond mine of Amengda started producing, and some documents needed his approval. Fourth, some infrastructure projects have begun on Seagull Island, which he needed to finance. Five, Remonin needed more military power and money…
In addition, Brad Pitt wanted to talk to him about leasing the Tiger Tank when he got back to Los Angeles. Li Du soon got another call from one of his Hollywood contacts for the rental of the Tiger.
At this time it was almost the middle of July. Li Du had thought he would return to Los Angeles in early July, but so many things happened during this time, delaying his trip, so Brad Pitt was very anxious.
They agreed to meet at a Beverly Hills cafe called Lucky Blue Cat.
This was Li Du's first official contact with Los Angeles since he decided to move to the city, so he did not drive, but used the same mode of transportation as the locals.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting.
More than a decade ago, the city put forward the slogan of ”car-free Los Angeles”. Of course, this was nonsense. This was a city on wheels.
However, Los Angeles was so advanced in alternative transportation methods that one could go anywhere without a car. As early as the 1980s, there was a popular song titled, ”Nobody Walks in LA”. It was known that Los Angeles residents didn't walk anywhere.
Los Angeles' transportation culture has become less about cars since then, and residents used subways and bicycles to get around smog and high gas prices.
Sophie's party temporarily rented a villa in the suburbs. The villa was in a good location, two or three hundred meters away from the subway entrance, so Li and Sophie went by subway to the cafe.
The subway in Los Angeles was very affordable, offering unlimited rides across the city for as little as five dollars.
There were many people on the subway, just like above the ground. However, there were no traffic jams below. Therefore, as long as they were on the subway, they could reach their destination without any restriction.
Sophie's interest was not in Brad Pitt, but in the Andean condor that Li Du has just acquired. She said, ”You haven't told me how you got it.”
Li Du said, ”There is nothing much to tell. I got it thanks to the Markelov brothers. They were both poachers, but I persuaded them to mend their ways.”
The two brothers were now in the hospital. The identity card that Steve asked someone to prepare for them has not arrived yet, and Brother Wolf suggested the two brothers do micro plastic surgery so that they could avoid potential detection in the future.
Li Du felt this was very reasonable, and paid to send the two brothers for minor surgery. He was familiar with this process, as Ivana needed to do minor plastic surgery every month, so he knew all the relevant hospitals in the United States.
After boarding the subway twice, they returned to the ground level and looked up to see the landmark of Los Angeles, Beverly Hills.
Li Du has been there several times, but he still felt mesmerized every time he came.
