Chapter 210 209. Movie Warehouse Auction (Niu Niu League+4)
Li Du felt very embarrassed to eat and take food like this.
But Thomason was very stubborn and insisted that they go to the vegetable field to pick some favorite vegetables and bring them back.
Hans said: "Let's bring some gifts to visit his house another day, and then bring some useful gifts that they need."
"Like a pony?" Li Du laughed.
Jones said: "Then remember to go to my ranch to buy, and I will still give you a preferential price."
Just after lunch, it was too hot to work in the vegetable field. The sun was so violent that it would burn the skin quickly.
Li Du admires the sunshine and temperature in Arizona. It's still early July, and it's already so hot in Flagstaff. How hot can it be in Phoenix in August and September?
Flagstaff City is located in the northern part of the state, on the Colorado Plateau, near the Grand Canyon National Forest Park, and the temperature is lower than that of southern cities.
Ricky and the others didn't go to work at this time. They usually slept or chatted at noon.
Today, because he just got some tools and a pony, Ricky will not rest. He takes the children to tidy up the stable for the pony, and also helps his wife remove the old loom and replace it with a new loom.
During the period, Ashley showed Li Du and others a pair of deep-waisted high-soled leather shoes and a blue and white dress. These are their handmade products, and they are usually worn when they are married.
Hans chose a complete range of woodworking tools, which Ricky liked very much, but he decided to give it to his cousin.
According to the Amish folklore, when they get married, the gifts given to each other by men and women are labor tools.
Ricky's cousin is getting married soon, and he thinks his cousin's husband will love this complete set of woodworking tools, since the tools are brand new and all handmade.
Anyway, in this deal, Ricky thought the family had made a profit.
Li Du felt that he had gained a lot, not only because of the specimen that interested him, but also because he had gained the friendship of the Amish people.
Now he is more and more interested in that specimen. During the meal, Ricky and Ashley said that this specimen was brought back by his grandfather from Africa with great hardships.
In this way, he had an idea. Could it be that the bug's ability to reproduce time is limited, and it can only be reversed to a certain point in time, and at that point in time, the specimen has already been produced.
If this is the case, then he believes that the specimen has survived for a long time. If it is still rare as Ricky said, then it may be that the specimen is really worth a lot of money.
But the most urgent task is not to deal with this specimen, but to deal with the old Winchester gun and a pile of game discs.
When the weather was not so hot, they followed Thomason to his family's vegetable garden.
There are many vegetables planted in the vegetable garden, such as celery, spinach, tomato, cucumber, eggplant, pepper, beans, etc. There are many kinds.
Li Du went to pick a bright red tomato. The Amish do not use pesticides in growing vegetables, so there was no need to wash it. After wiping it with his hands, he put it on his mouth and took a bite.
The tomato was overripe, and when he bit it open, the tomato juice splashed into his mouth, and there was tomato juice on the outer lips, chin, and nose.
Seeing this, Hans grinned and said, "It turns out that your hobby of liking sex is very unique, my big brother!"
Li Du wanted to give him a middle finger, but considering that the Amish were here, this gesture was not very friendly, so he could only go up and kick him...
The tomatoes are sweet, and the tomato juice has almost no sour taste. This kind is very suitable for stewed beef brisket with tomatoes. He picked a few and put them in the bag.
There is also celery, which is delicious when mixed with mashed garlic this summer, and he also pulled out a bunch.
There is no shortage of beans, as there are peppers in the ground, fresh peppers are paired with fresh beans, and fat pork is fried in it, just thinking about it makes people drool.
He doesn't pick much, just one or two meals of each kind is enough, but in the end he made several bags...
After bidding farewell to Thomason, the four drove away.
When he got home, Li Du put the vegetables in the refrigerator, while Hans carried the computer to search for information about the sale.
After watching for a while, he exclaimed excitedly: "Hey, Li, good news, good news!"
Li Du asked, "What's the matter? Did someone contact you to buy a gun?"
Hans said: "No, there is a big business coming, buddy, there is a film warehouse auction in Los Angeles, we must go to it, this time is a big event!"
Li Du asked curiously: "The movie warehouse auction? Is the warehouse of the movie theater going to sell it?"
Hans shook his head and said, "No, what good things can there be in the warehouse of the movie theater? It's the warehouse of the film company. You know, Hollywood produces so many movies every year, and there are countless props piled up in the warehouse!"
"Movie shooting props, shooting tools, and some things that were made during the release and promotion, will all be in it, and they will all be photographed together!"
Li Du understood: "In this kind of warehouse, there may be some props from movie shooting, or autographed posters from celebrities when promoting, right?"
Hans said, "Yes, at the last movie warehouse auction, a guy got an original motorcycle from "Light Speed Wars."
"Prop motorcycles are also worth money?"
"It's not just props! The motorcycle has a powerful engine, hydraulic brakes and an on-board computer. It has flashing lights on the rear wheels. It's as cool as in the movie. It ended up selling for half a million!"
By the end, Hans' eyes were about to sparkle.
Li Du said decisively: "Then why hesitate? Do it!"
Five hundred thousand dollars, although he now has close to six million dollars, he still feels that he is poor.
Hans said: "Of course, of course, you have to go to Los Angeles. This gun also has to go to a big city to find a buyer. It can't be done in Flagstaff City, and it can't be sold at a high price."
He hung the gun on E-bay, face-book, and INS to see if anyone would come to his door, and then brought the game CD to sell.
Hans found a video game store, and after he took out these CDs, the boss said in surprise: "You have got a good product, there are some old antiques in it, and now you can't find them."
"Then how much can you pay?"
The boss said: "I can't buy them all. If you are willing to take them apart, I can buy your CDs of "Crazy Vikings", "Rock Racing", "Dragon Eye" and "Warcraft: Humans and Orcs". Very negotiable."
Hans shook his head and said, "No, I won't sell it apart, it's a whole set, I want to sell the whole set."
The boss also shook his head: "Such words are meaningless. There are too many "World of Warcraft" discs in here, and they are worthless."
Hans said: "These "World of Warcraft" are all collector's editions, my buddy, are the collector's editions worthless?"
The boss said helplessly: "Okay, maybe they are valuable, but who do I sell them to? Not many people collect these things in Flagstaff City."
