Chapter 1134: Sky-high Dowry
Han Li didn't take it seriously when he heard from Joseph that someone had been asking about him on this street recently, even if it was an official.

Because before Han Li went to Kent County, he was considering whether to move the black clinic away from this place.

If the official people came to him, he would just close the shop and leave, and then move to another slum to continue doing business.

Anyway, there is only one wealthy area in Renton, the West District, but the number of slums is... haha.

Even if he couldn't find a suitable place in London, Han Li could still go to other big cities in England.

Why would you move away when you just gained some fame? Don't clinics rely on word of mouth to accumulate customers?

The ones that need to build up a reputation and attract customers to accumulate word of mouth are the officially recognized regular clinics. The one opened by Han Li is an illegal clinic. Besides, he will be returning to China next year, so there is no point for him to accumulate word of mouth.

Moreover, raw materials are not something that can be easily found. There is a certain probability of their occurrence depending on the population base in the area and the degree of indulgence and carelessness of people in that aspect.

The potential of raw materials on the street where Joseph and his colleagues are located has basically been exhausted since Han Li's clinic opened.

Even through word of mouth from customers and introducing new people for my own commission, the effect is not very good.
After all, everyone's social circle is limited, and even foreigners won't tell everyone about this kind of thing.

Han Li's clinic is an illegal clinic and cannot advertise, which are factors that limit his access to raw materials.

Instead of waiting for the men and women on this street to accidentally generate customers, Han Li might as well find a new street and reopen the business.

Moreover, the change of location does not mean that the customer base of this street will be lost. Han Li only needs to say hello to Joseph and those old customers, and he can stabilize the majority of the customer base.

But when Han Li heard Joseph say that the other party asked him whether he had bought a few disabled Scottish Fold cats and some mice for experiments, his brows frowned slightly.

What is going on? English officials will not ask for this kind of information, and neither will my colleagues.

If English officials want to make money or achieve sales results, they only need to find out the location and business hours, and then bring their people over.

Who was the person who came to inquire about his situation? Besides, only the people in the store that specialized in providing experimental biology knew that he bought mice and rats. His purchase of such a small amount was not worth the other party's attention, right?
If it is not the questions above, then who is asking about me and why is the other party asking about me?

Han Li thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out, but fortunately, the other party could not confirm the existence of those experimental mice yet.

Because Han Li bought mice and rats for experiments, the biological store packed them in two completely black, light-proof boxes and kept them on the third floor after he came back.

The second floor and above were restricted areas for other people, and no one, neither the customers nor Joseph, had ever gone up there.

When Han Li went to Gran Kent County, he put them and the glass box into the vast peach garden, so no one knows of their existence now.

However, the matter of the Scottish Fold cats could not be concealed, because the two healthy cats often accompanied Han Li to see patients on the first floor.

The four ones suffering from rickets could not hide it either, because Han Li placed them next to the window to look out, and anyone who paid attention would know it.

When Han Li went to Kent County, he asked Joseph to help take care of these six Scottish Fold cats.

If this matter is really related to these experimental mice, then the other party cannot be fully confirmed based on the appearance of a few Scottish Fold cats and Oriental people. This gives Han Li room to understand the situation.

However, Han Li is currently in a foreign country, and he likes to consider the worst in everything.

This matter would be better if it happened to English officials. Even if an emergency occurred, Han Li was confident that he could run away in front of them. As a hired local, Zhang Manyu would be fine.

But if he is not an official, then the situation will be complicated and no one knows what will happen during this period.

In this clinic and on this familiar street, Han Li was confident that he could handle most situations alone. But if Zhang Manyu was with him, he would not be confident that he could escape unscathed with her.

Therefore, if this matter is not clarified, Han Li cannot bring Zhang Manyu back here with peace of mind.

Han Li thought about the matter, reached out and took away the silver needle that Joseph used to remove moisture, patted him on the shoulder and thanked him for helping him pay attention to these situations.

And they took the example of the mice that had never appeared in front of them, as well as the rigor of the experiment and the laboratory equipment, and easily explained the matter away.

Finally, Han Li said that his tutor's course had not been completed yet, and he came back just to get some information. He asked Joseph to help take care of these Scottish Fold cats for a while.

Han Li chatted with Joseph for a while, took down a few books from upstairs and left the clinic, but he did not leave the street.

Because Joseph said that the other party came here every few days, and when he saw that the clinic was closed, he would smoke a cigarette next to it and leave. He had come two or three times, and it was the same every time.

So Han Li wanted to find this person. He left the clinic and went to a workshop in an abandoned factory.

Next, four crows, two little owls and two snowy owls were released from the vast peach orchard. Their task was to keep watch near their own clinic.

Among these birds, only the crow has the IQ of a six or seven-year-old child, and can barely find this person among passers-by. The other birds are all for assistance and to contact themselves in time.

Moreover, the effect of doing so is similar to waiting for something to happen. Han Li did not put all his hopes on this. It was just an optional means he left behind.

Because in this world there are only thieves who can steal for a thousand days, but there is no one who can guard against thieves for a thousand days.

Han Li's biggest suspicion in this matter was the experimental biological store, so he decided to take the initiative and lure the snake out of its hole. Han Li planned to find an independent house to rent in the suburbs of Renton, away from the crowd.

After renting the house, Han Li will go to the experimental biology store he went to last time to buy some more mice for experiments. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, he will still not let the other party deliver the goods this time.

But Han Li would give them enough time and clues to track him and see what the other party would do.

If the other party came over again, Han Li had plenty of ways to make them tell the truth.

But to be honest, Han Li still hoped that these birds could accomplish something, because he still didn't know who the other party was or why they were asking about him.

The tactic of luring the snake out of its hole would put Han Li in the open, which was far less effective than letting these birds perform their duties, allowing him to sneak over and act as the sixth master, which was safer and more enjoyable.

After Han Li gave instructions to the birds, he left and returned to the hotel where he was staying in the West District. Along the way, a snowy owl was always hovering above his head.

After Han Li returned to the hotel, he took Zhang Manyu to the front desk to move to a room on the top floor with a large balcony, saying that the view from the window of this room was not good.

When Zhang Manyu hung their clothes in the closet, Han Li stood on the balcony and looked up at the sky. The snowy owl called at him and flew towards the clinic.

After Zhang Manyu finished cleaning up, the two of them stayed in the room for a while and then it was time for dinner.

The situation at the clinic today made Han Li too lazy to go out to the street, so he planned to have a meal in the restaurant of this hotel.

It's said to be just a meal, but the restaurant in this hotel is not low-quality at all.

Not only are the dignitaries and wealthy people from the West District frequenting this place, but many people from the United States also choose to stay and dine here.

It was because of this that Han Li heard a new term while having dinner tonight.

"Dollar, Princess"

This term was first coined at the beginning of the 20th century. Due to many historical reasons, the United States at that time embarked on the fast track of economic development.

This has made many people become wealthy businessmen overnight. Once they become business tycoons, they naturally no longer have to worry about money.

Without the pursuit of money, these people began to pursue identity and status.

If we were to say what has the greatest impact on these people in the United States, it would be England, their former homeland.

In the past, the queen could confer titles on those who offered huge amounts of treasure. Although it is still possible now, the price is too high and people like them simply cannot afford it.

And the truth is, not to mention the Queen of England, even those English people whose ancestors had titles are very arrogant.

In the eyes of these people, these wealthy businessmen and business tycoons from the United States are just like the rich.

Rude, barbaric, uneducated, tasteless, without family background or title, it can be said that he has almost nothing except money.

The arrogant and contemptuous English dignitaries simply look down on these nouveau riche from the United States.

These wealthy people from the beautiful country, let alone obtaining a noble status in the upper class, even England seemed reluctant to accept them.

All these situations made the wealthy businessmen in the United States very frustrated, but at this time some people found another way to improve their family's foundation.

The way was to marry his daughter off. The wealthy businessman found a declining viscount in England and married his daughter to him with a sky-high dowry.

Relying on the title of father-in-law of Viscount So-and-so of England, this tycoon established his position in the social circles of the United States and became the object of everyone's adulation.

It is said that he also learned a lot of rules in decoration, hospitality, banquets, etc. from the Viscount's family, which attracted many inquiries and imitations among the wealthy people in the United States at that time.

The trick of marrying daughters to men with titles in England immediately became a shortcut for many wealthy people in the United States to gain social recognition.

At one time, wealthy businessmen and business tycoons who had daughters in the United States began to take action, trying every means to marry their daughters to their husbands. Young ones were the best, but if there were none, old or widowed nobles would also be fine.

The proud English aristocrats quickly lowered their proud heads under the financial offensive of these wealthy and tycoon businessmen from the United States.

According to statistics, in those years there were more than one hundred English nobles who married the daughters of wealthy men and tycoons in the United Kingdom. The dowries and various subsidies amounted to more than 10 million pounds.

Most of these people's marriages did not last, and many of them divorced after a few years for various reasons.

However, one of these people's children later became the Prime Minister of England.

Everyone originally thought that this kind of "dollars and princesses" had become a thing of the past, but unexpectedly there was new progress this year, and it was a daughter who married into the family.

It is precisely because of this rare situation and the current assets of the rich man that it has caused widespread discussion.

However, this kind of news was just a joke to Han Li. Today's situation made him a little angry.
