Hearing his words, Hans immediately ran over, and the speed surprised Meow, and the two cats stared at the boss. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

When he got the album, he checked it and said excitedly: "Yes, this is good, these photos are definitely old, I guess they are at least a hundred years old!" ”

Li Du said: "Maybe we should find a connoisseur and let him tell us what era these photos are, hoping that they will be worth some money." ”

Not that what has been around for a long time is necessarily valuable, there are many old photos in the United States, especially in some century-old shops and big families, and there are more old photos.

In addition, there are many old-fashioned camera workshops in the United States, and Hans found one in Flagpole City and rushed over with Li Du.

This photo studio has a very historical atmosphere, the sign at the door is mottled with colors, and some abstract paintings are painted on the walls, and Li Du looked at it for a while and did not understand what was on it.

Hans noticed it and said, "Don't look at it, it was originally a picture of a person taking pictures, but after a long time, the paint fell off, and the shopkeeper randomly added some colors, and finally it became this pattern that no one knows." ”

Li Du asked strangely: "Why do you want to make up colors at will?" I mean, just redraw it? Or paint it in a different pattern. ”

Hans shook his head and said, "Probably, the boss is using this to show his dissatisfaction with the speed of change in the world." ”

As he spoke, he knocked on the door, and after a while an old voice came from inside: "Please come in." ”

Li Du followed into the photo studio, where there were many photos posted on the walls, the most conspicuous of which was Marilyn Monroe's skirt cover.

There was a counter in the room, and there were several cameras in it, the most old-fashioned one was even a wooden shell, saying that it was a hundred years old.

There was a table inside the counter, and an old man with gray hair was sitting next to him drinking coffee, his clothes were neat and clean, and his expression was leisurely, not like the kind of low-level people who had been abandoned by social development.

"Boy, I think you're a little familiar." The old man said, staring at Hans.

Hans smiled and said, "I'm the son of Firaci Fawkes, and his wedding photos should have been taken at your place, and he used to come to you often to take pictures. ”

The old man nodded abruptly and said, "Firaci, the son of little Firaci!" How big have you been? Oh my God, time is so fast, how is your dad now? ”

Hans smiled bitterly: "He has gone to God, many years ago. ”

The old man made a cross on his chest and said, "May his soul be soothed, what is the matter with you?" ”

Hans said, "My buddies and I want to have a picture. ”

The old man smiled: "Come to me for a group photo?" You have to think clearly, I don't have a Polaroid here, I have to clean the negatives for you, and the price is more expensive than digital photographs. ”

Hans said, "That's fine, come on." ”

The old man smiled with satisfaction: "You have made the right decision, film photos are better than digital photos, and its color reproduction ability and grain control level are very good." ”

Although the building of the photo studio is old, the building is very tall, and Godzilla has also walked in, and it does not look crowded.

The three of them stand in front of a backdrop, Godzilla sits in the center, and Lidu and Hans put their arms on his shoulders at each side while smiling, and then a picture comes out.

After the shooting, the old man gave them a photo sheet, and then Hans pushed the album in front of him and said, "Boss, can you take a look at the photos inside?" We wanted to know the approximate year of it. ”

The old man finished writing neatly on the list, and then opened the photo album and looked at it.

Looking at the photos one by one, he saw the end from the beginning, and it took more than half an hour.

Hans showed patience, and Li Du went to look at the old photos on the walls, some of which were 100 years old, and the flagpole city from a hundred years ago was very interesting.

Finally after reading it, the old man patted the album and said: "There are two kinds of photos in it, the first of these desert scenery photos have survived for about 50 years, and the later Egyptian architectural photos must be 150 years old." ”

Hans asked curiously, "Aren't these pictures from an era?" ”

The old man smiled: "Of course not, although the photographic materials are similar, but it can be judged from the picture that the previous ones were shot with dry-plate film, that is, silver halide was smeared on the base of the polyacetate sheet, and when the light hit the silver halide, the silver halide turned into black silver and became a black and white negative." ”

"The latter ones are obviously photosensitive wet film negatives, which were no longer used after 1881, and were obsolete like these old guys."

As he spoke, the old man patted the counter, which contained some old-fashioned cameras.

"It's only been a hundred and twenty years since 1881, right?" Hans asked.

"Yes," said the old man, "I judge their age by their recognizability, colour, and resolution, and they must have been taken with daguerreotype, with an old-fashioned wooden box camera. ”

He rubbed over the photographs and continued: "This kind of photography and the camera were obsolete in the middle of the nineteenth century, so I guess they have survived for a hundred and fifty years. ”

Hans asked, "What is the value of this kind of photograph?" ”

The old man said: "It's hard to say, if you find someone who likes to collect old photos, they should be willing to pay some money to buy them." But those landscape photos are of little value, neither in terms of content nor the material itself. ”

Hans immediately went into business: "Then would you like to be their master?" ”

The old man waved his hand and said, "I can't find anyone to collect my own photos and cameras, where can I store new things?" ”

The business was yellow before it had even begun, and Hans was not discouraged, and after shaking hands with the old man, he parted, and when he returned, he picked out the landscape photos, leaving architectural photos, and something older should be more valuable.

The number of photographs of the building is even higher, a full forty.

He picked out a few photos of the Sphinx and the pyramid, took them with his mobile phone and uploaded them to the Internet to make inquiries and see if he could find a buyer.

Li Du said: "It seems that I am afraid that there is not much harvest this time. ”

Hans patted a pile of books optimistically and said, "It may not be as much as expected, but it will certainly not be less, don't you believe it?" Let's take a look at Boss Fu's tricks. ”

He took Li Du and Godzilla to classify these books, and divided them into several parts according to the author's name and type, and each one tried to contain different books and different types of books by one author.

This is a big project, and the three of them have been busy all day.

After Hannah gets off work, she is also requisitioned into the team, and Hans calls Stephen to help.

In this way, the five of them worked until midnight, and nearly 4,000 books were divided into more than 100 parts, some of which had hundreds of books, and some of which had only about a dozen books.

Beginning the next day, Hans started making phone calls with a phone book: "Harrow, Arizona State University Library?" ”

"Well, I've got a whole new batch of books for sale, all hardcover, complete with Mark Twain, full Sidney Shelton......"

"Yes, it's genuine, it's all genuine, and it's absolutely unopened, it's good and cheap! Antecedents? Of course, the way to get there is no problem! ”
