Treasure Hunt Tycoon
Chapter 904: Indifferent City (3/5)
The exchange between the two was a win-win situation. Kobe bought a good black opal and could customize a set of jewelry for his wife.
Li Du made money and got a warehouse auction information.
The results of the appraisal showed that the gems he gave were all natural black opal and had a high rating.
Bryant bought six dollars and spent a total of 1.2 million US dollars. The price is very high, but it is lower than the market price. These six pieces of black opal total about 200 carats, and they are all larger.
The larger the black opal is, the more expensive it is. At this head and texture, one carat will cost seven or eight thousand dollars.
Li Du also helped him to contact Harry Winston's top jewellery designer. The latter matter has nothing to do with him. Bryant and the designer have a single line of contact.
After taking the helicopter, Hans hadn't returned yet. Li Du checked the information on the warehouse auction that Chacoby told him. The warehouse company was named Luoma Warehouse Company, and the information was easy to find.
After Hans came back, Li Du told him the news.
After a brief discussion, the two decided to fly to Indiana to see what was going on at the auction.
It's only three days since the auction began. It's not that Kobe hasn't communicated in time, but the warehouse auction has been like this, from the release of the news to the start of the auction, within one week.
Just when their helicopter arrived, Hans went for emergency registration, and Ivan applied for airway. They finished it in half a day, and then the helicopter could take off.
I have to say that there are many airports and aircrafts in the United States, and there are relatively few flight controls. It is relatively easy to take planes and take off and land here.
The warehouse is in Indianapolis, a city on the east coast of the United States, just half a country across the diagonal from Los Angeles.
Helicopters took off and they flew from noon until the evening.
It was anxious to participate in the auction. After arriving in Indianapolis, they had two days left to prepare.
Indianapolis is the largest city and capital of Indiana, and the fourth largest state capital in the United States, second only to Atlanta in Georgia, Denver in Colorado, and Phoenix in Arizona.
The city is centrally located in Indiana, and when they can see a long river from the air, Hans said, "We're here."
The long river they saw was called the White River, and Indianapolis stretched on both sides of the river, stretching in all directions.
Compared to Phoenix and Los Angeles, Indianapolis is not as prosperous. The city is calm, the number of high-rise buildings is low, and the traffic flow is low.
Li Du sighed, "This city is good, not very impetuous."
Hans laughed. "This is also called a city? This is the Indianapolis village."
Compared with other big cities, Indianapolis does have such a name. Its economic status is good, but mainly because of its large area, some people call it rural areas.
But there is no way, historically, the economy of this city has not worked.
It was founded in 1820, and established a city in 1847. In January 1825, the Indiana State House moved there. By the time the city was established in 1847, the railway was also opened. The Madison-Indianapolis Railroad began operations. This is Indiana. The first railway in Polis.
With railroads and a well-developed road network, Indianapolis began to develop its economy.
However, at that time, even with convenient transportation, Indianapolis was still only used as a transportation fortress for the development of American immigrants to the west and a distribution center for agricultural and animal fur products.
By the end of the 19th century, at this time, the rise of industry and the speed of urban development, coupled with the fact that it was not far from Chicago and followed by Chicago, became a major industrial center, an important grain market, and the largest livestock market in the Mideast.
When the helicopter landed, Hans solemnly said to Li Du, "You don't take me and the wolf brother at night, don't take to the street, the race relationship is very bad here."
Li Du probably understood the local situation. Starting from the second half of the 20th century, with the suburbanization of the large-scale use of land, local ethnic relations deteriorated rapidly.
There are a large number of blacks, yellows, and ethnic minorities in the United States. In many cities, there are very few whites who have traditionally dominated society, but Indianapolis is an exception.
According to statistics, up to now, more than 70% of the city's population is white, and here whites still dominate the society.
There is another anecdote about this. A major event in the United States in the late 1960s was the assassination of Martin Luther King, the leader of the black people's rights movement.
At that time, there was almost a riot in the entire United States. Black people from all over the country formed a demonstration and the radical points began to smash and burn. A similar thing happened in all big cities. Indianapolis was the only exception ...
After hearing what Hans said, Li Du was surprised and said, "So serious?"
Hans had a heavy expression on his face: "The local white supremacy is very radical, and yellow people like you walking on the street at night can easily be robbed."
Wolf brother said coldly: "Who dares?"
Hans suddenly laughed: "Ha ha, of course, Indianapolis is very law and order, I just play with you. The locals are mainly white, there are few conflicts, and the auctions here are more peaceful than elsewhere."
Li Duheng said, "You are also talking about racism, but I don't know anything about you."
After the helicopter landed on the hotel's tarmac, Hans went to check-in, Big Ivan checked the helicopter, and Li Du and Langge walked on the street.
There are not many cars and people in the city, and the pace is very slow. Many people walk and run in the sunset.
Feeling the rhythm of this city, few people would believe that this is the place where the 500 mph speed car is hosted ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ The Indianapolis 500 mph speed car is famous all over the United States. The atmosphere of the city will become wild and hot. Li Du has only seen news reports and never really felt it.
But he felt the resistance of the residents in the city to people of color. He was walking on the road, and some running people came on, and he would subconsciously avoid it in advance. His eyes glanced over him as if he didn't see anyone. Stay for one second.
This made him very depressed, he could not help shaking his head and said, "This is really a cold city."
No one responded to him, and he continued to sigh: "Wolf brother, how did you become so indifferent?"
Wolf brother: "Ah?"
"I said this is an indifferent city, why don't you respond to me?" Li Du said dissatisfied.
Brother Wolf picked his ears and said, "Are you indifferent? Didn't you feel it, wasn't everything all right?"
Li Du didn't speak anymore. This city's indifference can be compared to a wolf brother who doesn't say a word all day long?
