64 The Cunning China Li

Li Du gave Hans a look—the kind that seemed to be in secret, but in reality, was obvious to everyone.

Hans said to Bedes, "Hey bud, I remember that you said you were interested in the two sets of old rail tracks. If you're willing to give me the clock, I'll trade the tracks for it.

"That sounds good," Bedes said.

"Three thousand, give me 3,000," The large white man said. "Ironman, you know it; for 1,000, you can get yourself a vintage rail track."

Bedes turned to Li Du and Hans and shook his head, saying, "Apparently, there are people who have more to offer than you guys."

Finishing, he brought the old clock to the large white man.

The large white man wired the money to Bedes with his phone, and then carried the clock away.
