Chapter 1590 A Mindset Change (1/2)

When he recalled the days he had spent messing around with Hans, Li Du could not help smiling.

However, the thought that he would not experience such life anymore made him felt down again.

His sorrow was not that Hans was not there alongside him, but that he could not go back to the past, to his youth, his foolish youth.

Hans has changed a lot. Hasn't he changed a lot too? Through the experience from what he encountered, he was a completely different person than when he first entered the warehouse auction business.

The change in mindset was the biggest. For him, the most important thing now was the fun of the warehouse auctions. The reason he chose to attend this warehouse auction was that the gimmicks of the auction on the sea got his interest.

If he were informed that there were only one or two thousand containers, he might not be interested and would have flown home for the Chinese New Year celebration.

Once, he was keen on getting revenge. If someone provoked him, he would try to teach the other side a sharp lesson. Now, he did not bother to think about this, and mostly let it go with a smile.

Lu Guan and Bill, who were next to him, were scratching their heads. The boss was laughing a second ago and started frowning a second later, which looked a little like he was not in a good state of mind.

After checking into the hotel, Li Du took the group of people for a stroll around the streets.

He got a call from the son of god, Chris Bell. The insurance company would certainly not miss his name in the invitation list to the auction, as he was a leader of the California treasure hunters.

In addition, Black Mustang, Magic Hand Johnson and other acquaintances were invited too. In short, the entire American circle of treasure hunters with a certain amount of reputation was invited.

Bell called and asked, ”Where are you now? When did you arrive in Seattle?”

Li Du said with a smile, ”I just checked into the Western Park hotel. I had reserved two rooms for you and another one for Magic Hand. We can have a chat then.”

Bell whistled. ”Cool. My flight just landed. I want to let you know something. I have a few friends who are doing well in Seattle. Are you interested in getting to know them?”

Li Du said, ” Sure, when could we meet?”

”The auction is the day after tomorrow, so I'll make an appointment for tomorrow. How about we pay them a visit tomorrow afternoon?”

Li Du agreed at once. He was not short of money, but he always valued connections.

Bell had not arrived yet. Therefore, he decided to hang around outside.

His hotel was in a prime location in Seattle, next to Pioneer Square, in the city's oldest neighborhood. Its streets boasted a unique Richardson Romanesque architecture which was one of its kind in the world.

There was a small water tower some distance down the block, which had some connections to a famous American story. In 1889, a fire broke out in Pioneer Square.

The fire was called ”The West Coast Hellfire”. The fire was wild and it burned down twenty-five city streets, including the Pioneer Square!

The street was rebuilt after the big fire. The block was made of red brick and tiles, ranging from ancient historical sites to modern entertainment places such as cafes, art galleries, and bars.

Being in the northwest for the first time, Li Du was not familiar with the city of Seattle.
