Pick up bargains in Chinatown and make 10,000 times the profit at the beginning

Chapter 109 Wildfire breaks out
Afterwards, Tony and the others followed Lin Yuan to the antique shop, passed on the treasures they had, and were very happy to get the money. Not to mention that they could do this every day, Tony and David were satisfied to be able to make a fortune with Lin Yuan every month.

That's why they paid more attention to Lin Yuan's personal safety. The two of them decided to upgrade Lin Yuan's safety measures.

That afternoon, Lin Yuan and his companions saw thick smoke rising from the north.

"Where is the fire?"

Lin Yuan was surprised that he didn't hear the sound of the fire truck.

If this happened in China, there would be no need to call the police for such an obvious fire in the house, as the firefighters would have already arrived.

"It should be a forest fire!" said my uncle.

Tony, Henry and others nodded, agreeing with their uncle's opinion.

Wildfires are very common here. Generally speaking, they take a laissez-faire attitude towards wildfires and do not interfere too much, under the euphemism of respecting nature.

Their government believes that wildfires are a common natural phenomenon and should not be interfered with.

In fact, they just don't want to spend manpower, material resources and financial resources on firefighting, which is a thankless task.

Let it burn! As long as no one dies, that's fine.

"Forest fire, shouldn't we go put out the fire?" Lin Yuan was surprised.

Henry smiled bitterly: “Brother Lin, you think too much. In the United States, there is no such thing as extinguishing wildfires.”

Sometimes, he envied China's firefighters. They would always rush to the scene as soon as possible. Even though they knew there was danger, they would still rush forward to protect the lives and property of ordinary people.

He is well aware that the so-called concept of respecting and adapting to nature, which holds that wildfires are a natural phenomenon and are sometimes even considered a necessary process for renewing forest ecosystems, is nonsense and an excuse.

The real reasons are multifaceted.

For example, the political system and administrative structure may lead to unclear responsibilities and slow action. For example, the California government and the federal government are not in a hierarchical relationship, but a parallel relationship, so the responsibility for firefighting and disaster relief falls mainly on the California government.

Secondly, the fiscal budget does not allow it. Although the US economy is strong, it is difficult to deal with large-scale disasters quickly and effectively on its own. Each state has its own budget and financial situation, and more financial investment may be needed to deal with disasters.

There are also partisan disputes, and differences on major issues may also affect disaster relief operations. For example, on the issue of wildfires, each party may pay more attention to its own interests rather than the overall interests.

and many more.

Like the previous California fires, we watched it burn for so long, the San Francisco Bay Area was shrouded in orange smoke, the suburbs of Detroit were razed to the ground, and many western states faced a "doomsday" scene, but we still did nothing and let it burn.

To be honest, Henry felt that anything he said was just an excuse.

If people really want to respect nature, then the entire United States should tear down its cities, and the entire country's people should leave here and let it return to nature.

Human beings’ survival and development are themselves fighting against nature.

Since you respect nature so much, then let's all just kill ourselves.

Let alone start a war. After all, war is the most disrespectful and destructive way to nature.

However, the wars that the United States has provoked around the world are well known to the whole world, and the Americans themselves are also well aware of this. What else can we do if we talk about respecting nature now except deceiving ourselves?
Then some of the nephews are still whitewashing the US government.

If you say something bad about the United States or Western countries, it's like killing their entire family, or even worse.

"Don't look at it. This kind of fire will definitely not be put out in a day or two." said my uncle.

Fortunately, there is no strong wind now, otherwise it would be a disaster, and even gods would be helpless. As expected, the next day, Lin Yuan could still see the billowing smoke. Now, almost the entire San Francisco is shrouded in a layer of smoke. The clothes hung on the balcony yesterday were covered with a layer of dust.

How big is this wildfire?

But no matter what, Lin Yuan had to get up. He had already agreed with Xiao Tai that he would treat him to dinner today, and he couldn't break the appointment.

They came to a tea restaurant in Wan Chai.

Although the boss is from Taiwan, he has deep feelings towards the mainland and the motherland, and there is a five-star red flag placed in the store.

The uncle also had an impression of this tea restaurant. He told Lin Yuan that this restaurant had been smashed in Wan Chai before because the owner had expressed views such as "the two sides of the Taiwan Strait are one family", which made some people very unhappy.

Lin Yuan found that there were quite a few Chinese people eating in the restaurant. Most of these diners were relatively young, and they seemed to be international students, chatting with the boss.

The food in the restaurant is reasonably priced and quite affordable.

Some of the diners inside recognized Lin Yuan and came over to ask for photos and autographs.

Lin Yuan didn't put on airs, and took photos and signed autographs for that person. This made other people who didn't know Lin Yuan think that this was the star! It's no wonder they thought so, because those who asked for autographs and photos were most likely stars.

"Which star is he? I don't know him." someone asked quietly.

"He's not a star, but an internet celebrity." Someone next to that person informed him.

"Ah! Internet celebrities? Are there no barriers to star-chasing for these people now? Internet celebrities too?"

"He is different from other internet celebrities, you don't understand. To be precise, his fans are of good quality and he has fewer brainless fans, you don't understand."

Afterwards, he told his friends what Lin Yuan did and how he became famous.

"Brother Lin, where are you planning to go to find bargains today?" asked the person who took the photo.

Lin Yuan shook his head: "I don't have any plans for now. I was just invited out for dinner today. Brother Xiao will be returning to China with his sister tomorrow." Lin Yuan said.

The person who originally wanted to drink some soup with Lin Yuan had to say goodbye after hearing this, saying that they would see each other again next time and would not bother him for the time being.

"Okay! See you next time." Lin Yuan nodded.

Xiao Tai brought his sister with him.

His sister looks okay, but her mental state is not very good.

When Xiao Tai's sister learned that Lin Yuan was her savior, she also cheered herself up and greeted Lin Yuan.

She knew very well that if Lin Yuan hadn't helped, her brother wouldn't be able to find her in a few days. She heard that the gang wanted to sell her to a country in South America to be a prostitute.

If she really goes to South America, what awaits her will be endless torture.

Of course, she suffered a lot during this period, but she finally made it through.

After surviving a great disaster, perhaps there will be good fortune in the future! Next, she returned to her country with her brother and lived a peaceful life without thinking about anything else.

"Brother Lin, let me toast you." As soon as they sat down, Xiao Tai's sister toasted Lin Yuan with a glass of wine.

Lin Yuan reached out to take the bottle down and said, "It's just a small favor, not worth mentioning. You women, it's better to drink less outside in the future."
