Chapter 1421 Hire (1/2)

At this moment, Li Du's identity was of great convenience to him.

He was the second-largest stakeholder in Harry -Winston Inc. The Harry Winston Group had a professional jewelry luxury sales channel. Although the gold treasure was not a jewel, it was also considered a luxury item.

The purchase of jewelry luxuries and expensive collectibles were often done by the same group of people. Many of the gold items that Li Du found were works of art, not just metal.

Through the network of the Harry Winston Group, the origin of the gold had been confirmed. Li Du contacted the old man Martin, who was an expert in history. He would be able to provide him with assurance in this regard.

In addition, Li Du also told the old man of the discovery of the ancient rock paintings in the Blue Ridges. That had excited the old man very much. He had contacted a group of American archaeology and history scholars to back Li Du's claim.

After Steve received the coordinates from Li Du, he flew to Blue Ridges. He was now examining the rock paintings in the cave. When he ended the investigation, Li Du would be able to announce it to the public.

Now the old man and his high-profile companions were working for Li Du, to identify a series of gold artifacts. Then, he would put them up for sale via the connections of the Harry Winston Group.

There were mostly gold ingots amongst the treasure. As the smelting technology had been relatively primitive, the gold ingots of the Kochena tribe contained impurities and needed to be refined.

Through the old man, Li Du contacted a precious metal identification expert named Francis. Francis became a visiting consultant of Li Du's company and was responsible for the pricing of precious metals.

In addition to these gold ingots, the Tavisi tribe still had some more gold waiting for Li Du to take over. Hence, he needed an expert to provide him with professional advice.

There was also snake venom and snake serum. Those things were also very valuable. Similarly, Li Du needed professional staff to provide him with advice. Hence, he wanted to find a biopharmaceutical or reptilian expert.

It happened that the Magic Hand had set up a party for Li Du once he knew that Li Du was coming to settle down in Los Angeles. At the party, Li Du talked about his needs, and Magic Hand introduced a man to him.

That person was not a biopharmaceutical or reptilian expert. He was a man who raised snakes, and his name was Griffin Wiesler. He made money from catching snakes and breeding them. Hence, he was very familiar with snake venom and snake serum.

Magic Hand passed Griffin's contact information and address to Li Du. So after the party, Li Du went to visit the snake-raising man, bringing along Lu Guan and Brother Wolf.

Griffin lived in Pasadena, a place similar to Santa Monica, but larger and more populous. It was a medium-sized satellite city in the Greater Los Angeles area.

It was located in the northern part of Greater Los Angeles, fifteen kilometers from the old downtown Los Angeles. It was connected to the city center and other communities by highways and subways.

Li Du had already seen that place beforehand. He was more familiar with Pasadena than Santa Monica, because the protagonists in his favorite drama, The Big Bang Theory, lived there.

In Los Angeles, he began to enjoy the convenience of a modern city. The subway was well connected and more comfortable than driving. Staying in the car all day can tire people out, and taking the subway was a different experience.

The snake farm could not be located in the heart of the city. Griffin's farm was Northwest of Pasadena. There were also many vegetables and animal farms around the area.

Once he was out of the subway, Li Du got onto a cab and had a smooth journey.

Griffin's snake farm was unusual. It was like a bunker. There were two layers of walls outside. Due to fear that a poisonous snake would escape, the security was strict.
