Chapter 202 201. A Wasteland (1)
Freddy returned to the old house he photographed in a state of embarrassment, and never met Li Du again.
After drinking the cold beer, Mr. Li waved his hand and said, "Let's go back while it's still early."
Hans said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, block this kid for a while."
Li Du said helplessly, "What's the point?"
Hans laughed and said, "Of course it's interesting, buddy. It's so hot, and there's no air conditioner in that room. He's hiding in it like he's hiding in a mouse hole. If we don't leave, he'll have to keep hiding in it and suffocate him." .”
Even in the afternoon, the sun was still hot, and the treasure hunters took off their clothes and stayed shirtless in the shade of the trees drinking cold drinks.
At this time, staying in the dusty old house is indeed a very aggrieved thing, the stuffy heat is simply terrific.
Li Du disdained to deal with Freddy with such a small means, it was meaningless, and he had never regarded him as an opponent, he just felt that he was a bit scheming.
But now it seems that his scheming is limited to this, a little clever, but lacks great wisdom.
Seeing that Hans still wanted to stay here leisurely, Li Du said, "Let's go back, remember my plan? We have to find a place."
Troy next to him asked curiously, "What plan?"
There was nothing to hide, so Li Du shared his knowledge and plans about the flea market.
Hearing what he said, Troy shook his head and said, "This is a loss-making guy, why don't you rent a warehouse, put the unsalable second-hand goods in first, and use cash to dispose of the garbage after selling it?"
Li Du said: "I'm lazy to do this."
He didn't explain that he wanted to join the flea market business, because it's hard to say whether he can connect.
Godzilla cleaned up the things in the room, and even removed the doors and windows, leaving an old house with four walls and drafts on all sides.
When Li Du saw it, he laughed and said, "Brother, you don't need to work so hard, the doors and windows won't cost you much."
Godzilla said in a muffled voice: "Put it in an open space, someone is willing to take it away."
Li Du laughed again, he didn't expect Godzilla to support his idea the most.
The task of finding the clearing was given to Hans, who was the best at this kind of work.
Only the next day, Hans called him and asked him to get ready and choose a suitable site together.
When the two sides met, Li Du got on his motorcycle and said, "You're fast enough."
Hans snorted: "You don't even know who I am!"
Li Du grinned. This guy's obsessive-compulsive disorder is very suitable for him. As long as he arranges work for him, he can always finish it in the fastest time.
The first site Hans found was located on the edge of the city, not far from the Pine Tree Crown community. It was the warehouse of a bankrupt factory.
"The advantage is that it is closed and close to where you live, so if you finish your work, you can go home quickly." Hans introduced.
Li Du asked, "How much is the rent?"
"One hundred thousand yuan a year."
Hearing this, Li Du shook his head: "No, it's too expensive. For 100,000 yuan, we can choose a piece of wasteland and build a new warehouse with colored steel tiles on it."
Hans waved his hand and said, "Then go to the next site and have a look."
The second place he chose is located in the eastern suburbs, which is far away from where they live, and it takes half an hour to drive by motorcycle.
The surrounding scenery is very good, with green trees all over the hillside and green grass growing everywhere. From time to time, people can be seen grazing cattle and sheep here.
Li Du said, "It's too far away, isn't it?"
Hans said: "But I bet you will like it here."
He stopped the car at the edge of a deserted farm, pointed to the back and said, "This is it."
This farm is located next to a hillside. The wild flowers on the hillside are in full bloom. The morning sun shines, and the farm is bathed in the soft rays of the morning sun. It is really a beautiful scene.
Li Du was surprised: "Isn't it? Are you going to build a farm?"
Hans shrugged and said, "This farm is deserted. The previous farmer was a fool. He didn't understand agriculture at all. He used a lot of chemical fertilizers and urea. The soil quality is ruined."
If the farm can't grow crops, then it has nothing to do with the wasteland.
Li Du went to the door and looked inside. The land in the farm was bare, with few weeds, and it was lifeless, as if isolated from the vibrant world outside.
"How much is the rent?"
"Eighty thousand dollars a year," said Hans. "It's a small farm, only forty hectares in size, but it's enough for us, isn't it?"
Li Du said reluctantly: "It's good, but it's too far away from where we live."
Hans said: "It's not easy? We can move here and rent the house inside."
"The 80,000 yuan doesn't include the house?" Li Du asked.
"Of course, if you want to rent the house, you need to add another 80,000 yuan a year." Hans said.
Li Du shook his head resolutely: "It's too expensive. Is the owner crazy? The annual rent is 80,000 yuan? Then two years' rent can buy a country house here?"
Hans said: "Please, buddy, buy a villa for 160,000 yuan? This is Flagstaff City!"
Although Flagstaff is a small city, it is very popular because it is located in the northern part of Arizona, relatively hot in the south, where the temperature is low in summer.
In addition, next to Flagstaff City is the Grand Canyon National Forest Park, which has a beautiful environment and a slow pace of life. It is a wealthy area in Arizona, and country houses are expensive.
Li Du rented a house for 800 yuan a month. In Phoenix, you can rent a good second bedroom at this price, but in Flagstaff City, this price is the same. This is a sanctuary for the elderly and a resort.
In addition, Hans explained to him that the rental of 80,000 yuan is not only a villa, but also other houses on the farm, such as warehouses, grain storage tanks, gyms, etc.
160,000 a year, this price is unacceptable to Li Du, he should honestly share the rent with Rose, it is not only cheap, but also has beautiful legs in stockings from time to time.
After looking at two more places, Li Du was still not satisfied, so he felt a little embarrassed, and said, "Forget it, go back and discuss it, and choose one of them."
Hans put on his helmet and said, "Don't worry, there's still a good place to look, and you might like it this time."
The motorcycle continued to drive northwest, which was the direction of the National Forest Park. After driving for a while, a large piece of farmland appeared on both sides of the road, and some carriages appeared on the road.
Looking at the slowly moving carriage, Li Du asked, "Is this the territory of the Amish people?"
Hans nodded, "Yes."
Li Du still wanted to ask something about this conservative nation, but Hans slowed down and stopped, then walked through a small forest, and a piece of land wrapped with barbed wire appeared in front of them.
"right here?"
Hans stopped in the driveway: "Yes, the environment is good, I think you will like it here."
This piece of land is located among a forest, as if someone opened it up in the jungle, the environment is quiet and far away from noise.
However, Li Du looked at the map, and he found that it was very close to Hesman Town, so there was no need to worry that there would be no treasure hunters from the flea market coming here.
It's a pity that this is an open space surrounded by barbed wire. There is no housing, and life is inconvenient.
