The approach of the female bear is not for attack, but for food.

Brother Wolf came up with a way to deal with polar bears in the North Pole. He found a piece of watermelon and threw it to the female bear, and then picked up an apple and threw it far away.

After all, bears are wild beasts, wild and unruly. Although the female bear has not shown any aggressiveness yet, Li Du and the others decided that it would be better to keep away from each other.

In case the female bear suddenly goes crazy, one of them here counts as one, and none of them can run away.

The cross-country speed of a brown bear is 60 kilometers per hour, and it can run one kilometer per minute. It only takes six seconds to run a hundred meters, and this is not a sprint speed. It can maintain running at this speed for a period of time. At this speed, humans Not an opponent.

Under the sound of brother wolf, the female bear gradually moved away from them. The little brown bear went to grab the fruit to eat, and was slapped by the female bear again. Just like this, two bears, one big and one small, entered the forest.

The environmental protection and wildlife protection work in the lake area is really going well. They camped at night and encountered foxes and some wild birds that came out to hunt.

Among them, the fox was the most unlucky. It originally came out to look for food, but it ran into Ah Miao, and was picked up by Ah Miao and almost made food.

In addition, there are also small wild animals such as hares and hedgehogs, and we have encountered many.

The next day Li Du rented a large yacht, and a group of people boarded the yacht and drove into the lake.

Brother Lang and others took turns pulling the yacht's tow rope to surf. Li Du didn't know how to do this, and he wasn't interested in this kind of entertainment, so he just sat on the deck and watched the fun.

After three days in the resort, Li Du felt a little bored, and said, "Let's go to the photography studio to have a look. It would be best if we can make a fortune, and give bonuses to the guys."

Lu Guan was more interested in money than taking a vacation, so he got into the car in good spirits after hearing what Li Du said.

The driver had no family and was even less interested in this kind of vacation. He drove the two of them back to downtown Cleveland.

Ohio Life Insurance is one of the pillar groups in Cleveland. The building is well located, not far from the downtown square, and the warehouse they lease is also nearby.

Luguan recently searched for information about the photography studio, and he told Li Du about it on the way.

The photography industry has been prosperous for a long time, but the old studios such as Bourne and Safford's Eyes have been going bankrupt. There are many reasons. This time, it is because the company has a problem with the strategic vision and has not eaten the cake of digital photography in time. It has always insisted on film photography. .

Film photography has been eliminated by the society, and even Kodak has gone bankrupt, let alone such a studio?

In order to restore the prosperity of the past, the studio has also tried to expand its business scope. They have carried out commercial shooting, 16mm and 35mm film processing and other services, but when the photography industry has entered the digital age, the studio has not kept up with the trend, it is not good develop.

In 1991, a fire destroyed nearly 2,000 glass negatives in Eye Studio, and their business was once in trouble.

Originally, this was an opportunity. The dawn of digital photography in the 1990s had already appeared. As a result, the studio did not seize this opportunity. They invested a lot of money in the restoration of glass negatives. Later, they found that they needed to follow the trend and do digital photography. At that time, there was no money to board the car.

"Moreover, this studio was very arrogant in the past few years. They started out as a semi-commercial route, and many projects that burned money were non-profit projects, such as their records of the history of the northern Indians." Lu Guan said.

Li Du asked: "What is the record of history? They took a lot of photos about Indians?"

Lu Guan nodded: "Yes, a lot. In the first half of the 20th century, this studio almost became the official Indian photo studio in the actual sense. They recorded many pictures and images related to Indians."

Before the conscience of American politics found out, Indians lived very hard in the United States. They were still being slaughtered in the 19th century. Although the killing stopped in the 20th century, they had no jobs and no money.

Naturally, the studio can’t make money by serving the Indians. According to Lu Guan, they were not doing it for money, but for art and history. This studio was very ambitious and once wanted to use the Indians to make history stage.

The name of the studio, Eyes of Bourne and Safford, comes from the two founders, Mr. Bourne and Mr. Safford, who have been working with Indians since the beginning of the studio.

At that time, Safford was mainly responsible for the operation of the studio and the development of photos, while Byrne took more risks and travels to shoot Native Americans in the northern part of the United States.

From the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern United States to the Rocky Mountains in the west, the Indian tribes in these deep forests have left the Bourne team behind.

It is said that in the Bourne era alone, the studio left as many as tens of thousands of images and photos about Indian tribes.

These photos recorded the ever-changing Indians and the customs of many ancient tribes. They were highly praised in the society at that time, and many media would quote their photos when introducing Indian culture.

In addition, the studio pays continuous attention to Indian culture and society. With their superb skills, they have created materials related to Indians with absolute first-class artistic value. These materials have entered many top museums such as the National Portrait Gallery of the United States. It has been recognized and collected.

Both the Ohio government and Washington DC have commended the studio for this and awarded them many social service awards.

These awards have paralyzed the people in charge of the studio to a certain extent. They are real artists, and they have no pursuit of money. What they pursue is to go down in history.

But history is forgetful. The Indian problem was solved by the government, and fewer people paid attention to it.

Unfortunately, there was a problem with the operation of the studio, and they needed money now, but they had no money, so they could only go bankrupt in the end, and the possibility of leaving their names in history was already slim.

Luguan told Li Du all the information about the studio, and introduced it as clearly as possible, which was very helpful for the auction, because Li Du had to know the situation of the studio, and then pay attention to the potentially valuable things in the warehouse.

Now he is aiming at Indian artworks. The studio has such a close relationship with Indian tribes that it must have received many gifts from Indians in history.

After a long time, some valuable things were put into the warehouse and were not cleaned up. What Li Du had to do was to find them.

This auction will be held in two venues, one is the warehouse and the other is the office. The studio has applied for a bankruptcy liquidation auction. Their office has been frozen by the bank, and the things inside are still intact waiting for the treasure hunter to pay for it.
