Chapter 1238 1238. Telescope (25)
Li Du was not mentally ill, so how could he provoke the treasure pickers in Texas for no reason?
It was just right that the other party didn't bid with him, and it was the first time he participated in an auction so comfortably.
But he took down two warehouses, and he didn't make any more moves after that.
This made the local treasure pickers feel better, but they felt that the rumors were true.
According to rumors, Li Du is a man who respects me and respects others, and kills him when he offends me.
In the auction, if someone provokes him, Li Du will find a way to fight back more violently, and if everyone lives in peace, Li Du will give everyone face. For example, in this auction, after he wins two, there will be no Make another shot.
He didn't make a move, but the treasure hunter in Flagstaff City did.
Treasure hunters in Texas will not give them face, so the bidding for other warehouses is quite fierce.
Eleven warehouses were photographed intermittently until the afternoon, and the work that could have been done in the morning was delayed until lunch, and the impatient Texan treasure hunters inevitably complained again.
The boss smiled and said, "Why are you in a hurry? Take your time and enjoy life slowly."
"Can we slowly pack up the warehouse?"
The boss waved his hand and said, "Okay, but it's best to clean it up in two or three days, because the starry sky party will be held soon, and I guess I will have new business coming."
The treasure hunters stopped talking, the rhythm here is really slow.
Li Du is cleaning up the warehouses. There are astronomical telescopes in the two warehouses. This is his purpose of taking down these two warehouses.
Opening the box and looking at the dismantled structure of the large telescope inside, Hans was not surprised.
Lu Guan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Actually, it's easy to get a good product, isn't it?"
Hans understood what he meant, and he muttered: "Shit, I was just unlucky some time ago..."
"Then let you come to this auction, will you take these two warehouses?" Lu Guan asked him.
Hans said: "If no one bids with me, I can win these eleven warehouses!"
Even if the cost of one warehouse is 1,000 yuan, and the eleven ones are only 11,000 yuan, and the astronomical telescopes they found are all worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
These astronomical telescopes are not something that you can coax children in the store, but a bit like the kind that Li Du once united with the head of state to pit Conrad. The front lens has a diameter of 30 to 40 centimeters!
These two telescopes have their own characteristics. One is made of steel pipes without a lens barrel. The upper and lower lenses are supported by six steel pipes, like a Gatling heavy machine gun.
The other is an all-wooden telescope. The lens barrel is made of the trunk of a whole giant tree, with delicate and complicated patterns carved on it, which should depict the starry sky gods in Roman mythology.
Among them, there are many wires in the steel pipe telescope, and some plugs can be pulled out from the steel pipe, some are used to connect to computers, and some are used to connect to power sources. Li Du does not understand the specifics.
All in all, they got two great-looking telescopes, and it was a good one.
The two telescopes are exquisitely made, and they are worth a lot of money at a glance.
Brother Wolf was very puzzled, shook his head and said, "I really don't understand why their owners don't take such important things with them, but put them in a warehouse at random?"
Hans said: "Of course you don't understand. This is culture. The American warehouse culture is extensive and profound. It would be troublesome to explain it to you. In short, everyone likes to put some inconvenient things in the warehouse, regardless of value."
This has something to do with the security of American warehouses. People are not afraid to put precious things in the warehouse. If something is stolen or something goes wrong, such as blisters or insect bites, the warehouse company will pay compensation.
In addition to the telescope, there are other gains, but compared to the telescope, the value of other things is relatively low.
After packing their things, they should return.
But Li Du decided to stay in the small town for a few days. He left the telescope and planned to attend the star party.
Hans had no interest in this. He returned with other things first. Now he was short of time, and there were still many things waiting for him when he went back, such as finding the owner for Spelin's oil painting.
The small town atmosphere of Fort Davis attracted Li Du and Sophie deeply. They both liked such a relaxed and simple life, so they found a residential house and rented it for a week for a short vacation.
But the starry sky party is about to start, and the atmosphere here is gradually getting warmer. Every day, cars from other places come here, and the hotels in the small town quickly become overcrowded.
Not only astronomy enthusiasts participated in this star party, but also some internationally renowned astronomical equipment and photographic equipment manufacturing and sales companies.
There is no doubt that this kind of gathering is a great opportunity to showcase and promote various equipment.
The Fort Davis star party has been held for hundreds of times. Since the second half of the 1970s, there have been three or four such parties every year.
At first, the people who attended the party were just astronomy enthusiasts. They chose a field, a mountain top or a large farm far away from the city. There is no hustle and bustle of the city, no interference from lights, and everyone can happily observe the galaxy.
As we all know, Americans have a tradition of adventure and camping. Returning to nature has long been the consensus of most people. Many people like to find a place with pristine beauty to relax in their free time.
Coincidentally, the place chosen for the starry sky party met people's needs, so gradually, not only astronomy enthusiasts but ordinary people came back to the party.
After the local government discovered this, it cleverly used it. Up to now, the starry sky party has become an important local event.
The Star Party venue is more than 40 kilometers away from the town. It is located around a canyon, where there is a flat grassland. The government will regularly carry out insect and mosquito control to provide better conditions for the party.
Li Du participated in this kind of activity for the first time, his eyes were darkened, and he didn't understand many things.
Sophie checked the information online, and the two began to prepare supplies.
The first is the astronomical telescope. After all, this is a gathering of astronomy enthusiasts. It is best to bring an astronomical telescope.
Secondly, we must prepare tools for shelter from rain, moisture, cold, insect repellent, and dust.
Also, you must prepare cold light, because night is the golden time for people to observe the starry sky. In order to observe the starlight best, people are not allowed to use light sources such as incandescent lamps or car lights, so as not to affect the observation effect.
These things are available in the town. There is no big supermarket in Fort Davis, and the small store may not have all the goods, but you can definitely find everything you need for the party here.
On February 11th, the first starry sky party of this year began. Li Du, Sophie, and Brother Lang drove to the party with the five children happily.
At the same time, good news came. Hans told him that the descendants of the Hawaiian prince in Spelin's portrait had been found. They had moved to Los Angeles and were quite rich.
