The warehouses of this book company are independent, they have their own warehouses, there are only two, and the area is very large, like a workshop, and all kinds of books are neatly stacked inside. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

After Li Du and the others arrived at the warehouse, they found that there was no need to use small flying insects, because the door was open and they could enter at will, but there was security supervision and they were not ready to touch these books.

Hans saw it and said, "Lee, you're doing the right thing, we should do our homework in advance before each auction, and lo and behold, we've come to the right place this time." ”

Li Du smiled, in fact, he scolded his mother in his heart, grandma's current leakage is not good, and his little flying insect has lost its usefulness.

Walking into the warehouse, a smell of ink greets you, which is sandwiched with the smell of books and paper, forming a unique aroma.

Godzilla frowned and fanned in front of him, and Hans asked, "What's wrong?"

He pouted, "The book smells terrible. ”

Li Du took a deep breath, closed his eyes and said, "Why do I think this smell is so fragrant? I haven't smelled such an aroma for a long time, it's awesome!"

The books in the warehouse were almost all brand new, some in boxes, some wrapped in brown paper, and some simply tied with rope.

Probably browsing the stacks of books, Li Du asked, "How is this thing auctioned?"

Hans said: "According to the area, you look carefully at the ground, mark the different areas with letters, and then you can make a bid. ”

Li Du looked down, and sure enough, he saw the divided area on the floor, similar to a sports field, with lattice lines on it, and there were labels in different areas, indicating what type of book was here.

The little flying insect can still show its abilities, and the books are piled up, many of which are still sealed in boxes, making it difficult to see the specific information of the books with the eyes.

Different books have different values, and overall, autographed books have the highest value, followed by limited editions, then hardcover books, and finally regular books.

Hans took them directly to the humanities and social sciences section, and said in a low voice: "This will be a main battlefield, there may be some antique books here, if we can photograph antique books, then we can make a lot of money." ”

Li Du said: "Isn't it possible for antique books to exist in the area of second-hand books?"

Ordinary stores in the U.S. sell thrift items, and bookstores also have dedicated sections for used books.

Hans shrugged, "Of course, of course, but do you think the bookstore operators are fools? After they collect the old books, they inspect and sort them, and the valuable ones are picked out and sold separately." ”

"Is it for sale in the humanities and social sciences section?"

"No, but some new books in the humanities and social sciences are also antique books, such as the "Philadelphia Medical Encyclopedia" published 20 years ago, which is usually not bought by many people, and they will be backlogged. ”

Li Du asked the little flying insect to get into the stack of books, and first saw a pile of tomes in the box -- "The Religion of Man: The Wisdom and Charm of the Seven Great Religions of the World", there are many books, and this pile is full of hundreds of books.

The pile of books next to it is still philosophical, called "The Monk and the Philosopher", which is the work of a French author, which is also a tome and equally worthless.

Li Du probably looked at it, and most of the books he saw were worthless, such as "The Prisoner's Dilemma", "History of Christianity", and "Open Society and Its Enemies".

He shook his head and said, "Boss Fu, let's go to the children's books and storybooks section to have a look, I think this kind of book can at least be sold as a book." This kind of humanities and social science books can only be sold for waste paper!"

Hans said, "Well, let's go and see, I hope your advice is correct." ”

Storybooks have the largest territory and are full of world masterpieces, the Harry Potter series, Game of Thrones, The Lord of the Rings, and the complete works of horror master Stephen King.

The little flying insect is not very useful in this environment, although it can find some valuable good books, but it consumes too much energy, Li Du looked for it for a while and then took it back.

Hans asked expectantly, "Man, have you seen which books are the most valuable?"

Li Du shrugged helplessly and said, "I really can't see this, let's shoot it casually when the time comes." ”

A day later, the book auction began.

The auction was even more hype, with Borders being advertised online a month in advance, and then in the newspapers in June, so there were hundreds of people on the day!

When Li Du and the others arrived at the warehouse, they were stunned when they looked at the crowd rubbing shoulders: "Xuete, so many people?"

Hans's scalp was numb, too: "Damn, it looks like a lot of school libraries are coming, what do they want? These are some books, these are worthless books!"

They can only honestly register their information and wait for the upcoming auction.

Li Du was about to enter the warehouse again to see the situation, when someone suddenly rushed at him and pushed him, shouting: "Raised by a bitch, you still dare to come to Phoenix?"

There was a bug manipulating time, and he easily avoided the palm that was pushing, and then looked up and saw that it was Anthony, a man with a long face, who pushed him.

Li Du pushed Anthony away with his backhand, frowned, and said, "What nerves do you have? Do you have a problem with your brain?"

Anthony gritted his teeth and shouted, "You all cheated me! Damn you bastard, you cheated me! I'm going to kill you today-......"

The last word was pronounced slightly, as Godzilla, with a blank face, stood behind Li Du.

The security guard came up to maintain law and order, and inserted between the two sides and said sharply: "No quarrels, let alone fights, otherwise you will be expelled!"

Hans pointed at Anthony and said to the security guard, "Man, please see clearly, this guy is crazy, he is going to attack us when he comes up, we are the victims, okay?"

The security guard looked at Anthony with a gloomy face, and the latter shouted aggrievedly: "I was cheated by him! I was cheated by this damn Chinese guy! Everyone be careful! This son of a son is very good at pitting people! I was cheated by him for 50,000 yuan!"

Li Du spread his hands and said, "What the hell is he crazy about?"

There was a treasure picker at the scene, and said with a smile: "Anthony followed you to shoot a warehouse of more than 50,000 yuan, right?"

"Yes. ”

"As a result, the warehouse was worthless, the loss was very miserable, Lucas's stupid cow was mad, forcing Anthony to bear the loss with himself, this guy lost 20,000 yuan, and he kept claiming that he was cheated by you!"

Li Du said with a smile: "Warehousing and auctions are inherently very risky, how can there be a transaction that only makes money and does not lose money? What an unreasonable fool!"

He ignored Anthony, but Anthony's presence had a good effect, that is, no one grabbed the goods from him, and obviously everyone was afraid of following in Anthony's footsteps.

Li Du happened to be idle, and took a closer look in the warehouse again.

This look, he found a problem!
