1425. Pathfinder (4/5)
Staying in the tribe for a night, Li Du returned to the cave the next day and found a group of people carrying stones out.
He was shocked and asked Mr. Martin, "James, what are you doing? Are you planning to dig out all the rock paintings and move them away?"
A big bull next to him heard this and rolled his eyes and said, "We are archaeology, not tomb robbers, how could we do such a thing? This is an insult to us!"
Li Du curled his lips and said, "You have done little in the name of archaeology? Who poached the flying murals in Mogao Grottoes in China?"
"It was done by Europeans, not by us." Old Master Martin defended.
Big Bull bragged and glared: "That's a shame!"
After a few words of each other, the topic changed back, Mr. Martin said excitedly: "Your discovery this time is really amazing. Do you know what we found in the hole again?"
Li Du shook his head, and the old man clapped his hands and shouted: "Mummy! Indian mummy!"
"The Indians also have mummies? Isn't this thing available in Egypt?" Mr. Li asked in surprise.
The old man despised him and said, "The funeral methods of mummies have been discovered in many ancient civilization countries around the world, but Egyptian mummies have been promoted more through art forms such as novels and movies."
It is no coincidence that it was found in the cave. Experts quickly interpreted the rock paintings and found that these rock paintings described the process of burying ancestors in an Indian tribe.
So they searched in the hole and finally found the mummy, but it was damaged.
Mr. Martin said: "The cave used to be very dry, so it was used to put mummies on hold. Later, the spring water was diverted into it, destroying some mummies, which is a pity."
These professional things have nothing to do with Li Du. Whether it is rock paintings or mummies, it is not convenient to trade in normal markets, so it is better to leave them to the archaeological community and history.
The discovery of rock paintings and mummies can be said to be the largest archaeological event in North America since the 21st century. This incident quickly alarmed the local government of Pittsburgh, and the government sent police to maintain order.
From these policemen, Li Du saw a few familiar people. They were the policemen who came to the cave to escort poachers.
Li Du walked over and smiled at them, "I have suffered a lot when I entered Lanling twice in a row in a month, right?"
A policeman nodded subconsciously: "Yes, God bless you, it's better to have less work like this in the future..."
He reacted halfway through his words and asked, "How do you know that this is our second time in Blue Ridge?"
Li Du smiled and said, "I caught some poachers and called you. At that time, I saw you in the dark."
The police suddenly realized that Li Du quickly won their favor.
After collecting some photos and antiques in the cave, Mr. Martin and Li Du went down the mountain.
This discovery is very important. The old man and the big guys contacted the Pittsburgh government and held a press conference. They had to attend the press conference.
As a discoverer and witness of history, Li Du became one of the protagonists at the press conference, and his image spread to the world through the media.
Of course, this has little impact on his life. He cannot become a star because of such discoveries. At most, people who follow such news will know him.
After the rock painting was discovered, the rest of the work had nothing to do with him. This time Mr. Li was just a leader.
He took the cargo from the Tavixi tribe and returned to Los Angeles by plane, preparing to participate in the auction for bidding for real estate.
This is the first time he has participated in such an auction. He is very unfamiliar with this industry, so he needs to do his homework in advance.
Real estate bidding is different from warehousing auctions. This requires cooperation. The auction is held in the Urban Housing and Urban Development Bureau. To obtain a house, you naturally have to attend the auction on site.
In addition, someone has to check the situation of the house and communicate with the participants in time to determine the final price.
From this point of view, it seems a bit unnecessary. Those who participate in the auction can observe the situation of the house in advance.
However, this is not appropriate. First of all, during the bidding real estate process, the house will not be opened to the public throughout the whole process. During the warehouse auction, the warehouse will be opened, but the treasure picker is not allowed to enter.
During the process of grabbing real estate, the house will not be opened, and people will not be allowed to enter. The tenant can only set the price by looking in the appearance or secretly looking in the window.
This is related to the real estate laws in the United States. Private property is sacred and inviolable. After the property is taken back by the government or bank, it belongs to the "white household" and no longer belongs to the former landlord, nor to the government or bank.
In this case, if the property has no owner, there will be no permission from the owner, so naturally no one is allowed to enter it.
In the real estate business, everyone will go to see the house in advance and continue to see the house during the auction. If there is any temporary discovery, it is best to adjust the price in time.
But this has no effect on Li Du. Xiao Feizhu can handle everything about the real estate, so he can participate in the auction by himself.
There are eleven houses to be auctioned in this period, ranging from apartments to residences to villas to manors. The most valuable one is the manor, which is the goal of all tenants.
The lord went to inquire and told him that the number of people participating in the auction this time will not be less than fifty, and at least forty people are interested in the beach manor.
The number of fifty people is nothing in the warehouse auction, but it is a large scale at the bid-bearing property auction, because there are many treasure pickers and few tenants.
Li Du doesn't care about how many opponents there are, what he cares about is the value of these houses.
The lord gave him the addresses of the eleven houses, and they drove to check them in advance.
These houses have been seized by the court and cannot be entered.
Li Du first went to see the beach manor. The house looked very big from the photos, but it was even bigger in reality. It covers an area of 20,000 square meters. Clean up it up carefully. This is a well-deserved luxury house!
Just as Lu Guan introduced, the house was in a good location. Li Du drove around the interstate and then the house. He got out of the car and looked forward, and the endless ocean appeared in front of him.
There is a beautiful beach here, with delicate sand and no pollution. The blue waves slowly slapped on the beach, and some seabirds flew against the sea, with a soothing rhythm.
He saw it on the way to come. There was a supermarket five or six hundred meters east of the house. Next to the supermarket is the subway entrance, which increased the value of the house. Many houses in the suburbs of American cities are far away from shopping malls, so you have to drive to buy something.
A distance of five or six hundred meters can be solved by walking, which is still a subway house. Of course, people who can afford such a house don’t care whether there is a subway.
