With the bid of 15,000 dollars, of course no one would want to compete with the middle-aged man with the blonde beard .
However, he didn't seem to be all that concerned . Sayder pointed to him and said that it was a deal . Everyone applauded . The middle-aged man also started to applaud, smiling and nodding to show his thanks to the surrounding crowd .
According to the rules, as sellers, Li Du and Hans should go greet the middle-aged man . Other than thanking him, they would also need to answer any queries he may have had .
The two men walked over to introduce themselves . The middle-aged man shook hands with them . With a bitter smile he said, "Money spent in exchange for a lesson learned—to not rush into things next time . "
Li Du was very understanding . He said, "It doesn't matter, Mister . We can refund you some money . "
The cost of Men's Secret Hideout was less than 5,500 dollars . They would be thrilled to sell it for 10,000 dollars—15,000 dollars was indeed an unexpected price .
The middle-aged man waved his hand and said, "Forget it . Just a few more grand . Will just take it as a lesson . It's nothing . But if you feel bad, I suggest you go bid for a Kent sheep . "
Hans asked excitedly, "There's a Kent sheep auction this time? We didn't know about it . "
The middle-aged man pointed to the small auction stand next door and said, "Yes, I've seen today's auction list . There's definitely Kent sheep here today . "
Hans immediately said, "That will set
today's auction ablaze for sure . "
The middle-man said, "Who's to say not? How about this, you guys bid for the sheep and then we'll go to my house and use this hideout for a barbecue while we watch the game? The NBA season just started!"
"That's set then," Hans agreed readily .
As they walked to the small auction stand next door, Li Du asked Hans along the way, "What's a Kent sheep like? How come I haven't heard of this sheep breed?"
Hans said, "It's not the name of the breed, but the name of a farm – Kent Farm . This farm used Suffolk sheep and Dorper sheep for breeding to produce some good quality sheep . "
"The meat from these sheep is of good quality . They feed on the best and the cleanest pastures during their growth . They consume different food during the different stages, so their meat tastes especially good . "
Li Du finally got it . "I've never heard of it . "
Hans said, "If you've lived a few years in Flagstaff and paid more attention to agriculture and animal husbandry, you would have definitely heard this name . It's really very famous!"
A few people were standing before the small auction table . The middle-aged man had introduced himself on the way there . His name was Will Monroe . He was an investment expert who lived in LA but returned to Flagstaff once in a while .
"It's unbearable in LA during this season, right?" Hans asked with a smile .
Will sighed and said, "It kills me, my man . My sheets are f*cking wet everyday . And this is winter . I'd rather be broke and come back here . I don't want to be found one day
day in a moldy and hairy state . "
Hans agreed, "I stayed in LA for a while . The winter there was tough . "
Will said, "Every winter I come back to Flagstaff . It's a good place, but it's does not suit my work . Otherwise, I'd be happy to stay here all my life . "
Li Du and Hans had never heard of Will . In fact, he was a savvy investor, with shares in Apple, Marvel Films and other high-profile companies of late and was probably worth more than 50 million dollars .
So, the addition of a few grand was peanuts for someone like him . What he said earlier was not an effort to salvage his reputation; he had really wanted it to be a lesson for himself .
For someone like Will, it was considered cheap to pay a few thousand dollars for a lesson learned .
Two bags of bread flour were being auctioned off at the small auction stand . Made of the best whole wheat flour, they were not cheap . The two bags weighing 100 kilograms had a starting bid of 500 dollars .
Thereafter, malting barley meant for brewing beer was put up for auction .
Hans was interested in this, and waved his hand to get hold of 200 kilograms of it . He was planning to use it to brew beer come springtime .
At the very end, someone pulled a clean-looking sheep onto the stand . This was the Kent sheep .
The auctioneer introduced the sheep, saying it was a superior livestock that could possibly rival Japanese wagyu in the future and be the pride of Arizona animal husbandry .
Hans said, "If this breed
this breed could be cultivated, there would be the possibility of reaching this level . "
Will said, "Yes, but it's tough . This brand has to be promoted by the government, but the Arizonan politicians only care about getting money into their own pockets and how to get promoted . They don't do any actual work . "
Kent sheep was really counterfeit wagyu . Their breeding process, breeding environment, food and drink were all developed using the cattle as a blueprint .
The starting bid for the sheep was 1,200 dollars, much lower than the price of wagyu . It was, however, considered very steep in terms of American mutton . An ordinary sheep would cost only 200 dollars in the United States .
Quite a few people were interested in the Kent sheep . In the end, Li Du paid 1,800 dollars to get it .
Twelve hundred dollars had been raised to 1,800 dollars . The difference was not that great but there were a few more of these sheep being offered . With the high repetition rate in this case, the increase of 50 percent in price was considered very high .
Hans went to pay while Li Du shouted for Godzilla and Big Quinn to move the sheep and the Men's Secret Hideout to the pickup truck . They then drove off, following Will's Mercedes to his house .
The pickup truck had travelled for a while and Li Du found that they were on a route familiar to him . "I was here two days ago, when I went to Sophie's parents' home . "
Big Quinn, who was driving, said, "You got robbed here?"
Li Du nodded, "Yes . "
Godzilla punched his fist and said, "Hope to bump into them today!"
A deadly gaze appeared in his eyes . This was a rare display of violence on his part .
When he had learned that Li Du was almost robbed, he felt very depressed . Although in name he was a mover, Li Du had treated him as though he were a bodyguard . He also prided himself on being one .
In the end, Li Du had met with two incidents . Godzilla had dropped the ball on both occasions, something which he felt extremely despondent about .
Will owned a beautiful villa in Flagstaff, which was located in the outskirts of the city . Surrounded by different styles of villas, it included a huge garden, lawn, play yard and swimming pool .
Big Quinn mentioned that this area was very famous for its villas . The housing prices were the highest in Flagstaff with each villa priced at five million dollars or more .
Costing such a high price, this beautiful villa would also need to be well managed .
They drove into the area where the villa was and two security officers came up to check . After receiving Will's verification, they were allowed to enter the villa's grounds .
Will lived on his own . He was recently divorced from his wife, and his two children were temporarily in LA with their mother . This time, he had come back not only because of the better climate in Flagstaff, but also to return to his hometown to unwind .
Upon arriving at the villa, they unloaded the items . Big Quinn and Godzilla immediately went to slaughter the sheep while Hans and Lu Guan assembled the Men's Secret Hideout, all set to get happy .
