1092. The secret under the desktop (1/5)

Seeing this scene, the head of state's expression was immediately distorted.

He stared at Carter with his eyes straight and a little scary.

If Li Du wanted to buy these tables, he would definitely not agree. But the one who bought the tables was an ordinary treasure picker in Phoenix, so he didn't think much about it.

After Li Du got the table, the head of state was angry and upset: he had always believed that this warehouse had something worth 100,000 or 1 million, but he hadn't found it.

Now, when the tables were bought back by Li Du, he thought that these tables had such value. As for how some ordinary-looking tables were priceless?

He didn't know this, anyway, he trusted Li Du's vision.

Yes, even if he is against Li Du, even if he wants to cause trouble for Li Du, even if he hates Li Du very much, he has to admit that Li Du is the most terrifying treasure picker he has ever seen.

Not only did he think so, but the same was true for other treasure pickers.

Seeing that Li Du had tried his best to get these five tables, some treasure pickers who had nothing to do surrounded him and watched the fun:

"Hey, Boss Li, why did you buy these?"

"Do you need a table? I have it there haha, I can give you a few."

"Five tables cost 5,000 yuan, Carter, you're making a lot of money by being a bastard!"

Carter was very smart, and the treasure pickers were very smart. He knew what to do to make his own interests bigger, so he did not accept the money handed over by Li Du, but smiled and said, "It's only five hundred yuan, Boss Li, I'll give it to you."

He wanted to use this to show goodwill, to break up the relationship between Li and Du, and to join their small circle like the treasure-picking people in the flagpole market.

Li Du patted his shoulder and smiled, "No, as a treasure picker, you must be trustworthy."

He gave Carter 5,000 yuan tough, and promised: "Thank you for helping me. If you need my help in the future, as long as I can do it, I will be happy to help you."

The onlookers showed envious eyes. They did not envy Carter for earning 4,500 yuan, and they envied Carter for boarding Li Du's ship.

Treasure pickers now regard Li Du’s circle as a boat. This is a luxury cruise ship. The top-level gold VIP private room belongs to the captain Li Du, Hans is the first mate, and the flagship treasure picker in the flagpole city is in the first class cabin.

Carter has at least entered the third class cabin. In fact, it doesn’t matter how many class cabins you enter. As long as you can get on the ship and contact Li Du, they can be satisfied.

Most treasure pickers envy Carter, but they forgot Li Du’s original intention of buying five tables.

The head of state was paying attention to the table, and he said with a gloomy face: "What are the value of these tables? Are they made of gold?"

"You are stupid, Master, these tables are obviously wood, but they may be expensive wood. I remember Boss Li had found some Asian mahogany." said a treasure picker.

The head of state ignored him and stared at Li Du: "Let's reveal the answer."

Li Du slapped the table one by one and asked, "Do you feel that they are different?"

Everyone looked confused and shook their heads: "Don't keep it from being insincere, Boss Li, if we had your eyesight, why wouldn't we make hundreds of dollars a month?"

The lord reminded the group: "Listen to the sound, don't you hear anything?"

This is his awesomeness. The hearing of the lord is outstanding. Unfortunately, this is not very useful in storage and auctions. Only he understands what Li Du means.

Li Du tapped the table again, and finally, someone reacted: "Oh Xuete, the table is empty, two tables are empty!"

The others suddenly realized and then showed envy: "Is there something good hidden inside?"

Yes, there is something hidden in the tabletop, and the silver coins that Li Du had discovered before were inside.

He guessed at the time that if the head of state and his party had taken these tables, if they were not careful enough and did not know enough about the prison, they would not have found these silver coins.

As it turned out, he guessed it right.

Li Du whistled at Brother Wolf, and Brother Wolf threw the dagger to him. He inserted the blade into the gap at the edge of the table and cut down a table.

After opening it, there are a few paper notes, some paper notes and other things inside.

The treasure pickers squeezed up and took a look. Someone said, "There are more than one hundred dollars in total. What are these notes for? They are very valuable?"

Li Du shook his head and said, "It's worthless, this is an IOU, an IOU among prisoners."

He opened the table panel of another table, poured it out, and a series of silver coins fell out.

Seeing this scene, the treasure pickers were immediately excited: "Silver coins! This is an antique! God, how did Boss Li discover it?"

This is a question that everyone is concerned about. Li Du smiled and said, "It's very simple. I found that these two tables had traces of being touched by someone, so I guessed that there would be something good inside."

"If you have been in prison like me, then you know that prisoners have no place to hide money or valuables. They will pick up the panels of the table, empty the wood chips, and hide the things inside."

As he said that, he continued to slap the table and said, "Every wooden table in the prison is a small treasure house, this is their safe."

Several treasure pickers ran back quickly. There were tables and chairs in their warehouse. These people went to take apart and saw what was hidden inside.

Hans's face looked ugly and his eyes almost turned blood-red.

He designed Li Du once, but in the end, he ended up being in vain!

The treasure pickers were curious about looking at the silver coins Li Du got. There were more than ten in total. Because of the oxidation, they turned black, but the overall protection was good and there was no damage.

On the front of the silver coin is the statue of the Statue of Liberty. She holds a ribbon in her left hand, with the words "freedom" on it, and the olive branch in her right hand. The strip at the bottom of the seat is written with the words "We believe in God". There are 13 hexagonal stars on the left and right edges.

On the back is a standing eagle with its head raised and its wings raised, with its claws holding down the three arrows and laurel branches. The words "United to One" are written above the head, and the words "420 Grades" are written at the foot.

A treasure picker judged their identities and said: "This is a set of currency designed by William Barber, the chief engraver of the Mint."

“Is this an antique?”

"It existed in the world for at least a century and a half, and it was very popular in the 19th century." The treasure picker explained, "Boss Li discovered them, which is very interesting because they have a close relationship with the Chinese."

In the mid-19th century, the United States' industrial production capacity began to appear far beyond national boundaries. In order to find new markets for its products, business leaders in the United States began to turn their attention to the East, especially China.

This silver coin was once sold in large quantities to China for exchanges with the Qing government at that time. The emperor recognized the value of this silver coin, which led to its promotion.
