Chapter 149 148. A Pile of Old Books (Fat League+3)

What Hans said was wrong, this auction did not sell according to the section, but re-divided the warehouse area into hundreds of small areas for sale!

In this way, the information Li Du wrote down yesterday was useless, so he hurried around the warehouse to write down the areas where the valuable books he found yesterday were located.

After entering the second warehouse, he walked around quickly, and then returned to a pile of books in doubt.

Hans asked, "What's the matter?"

Li Du said: "This pile of books didn't appear yesterday?"

The pile of books that attracted his attention was relatively small, protected by plastic railings, and distinguished from the surrounding piles of books. In addition, there were some similar piles of books around, all of which had fewer books and were protected by railings.

Hans glanced at them and said, "These are old books, maybe the bookstore just took them out because they were afraid they would be damaged by people touching them."

The piles of new books were of little value, Li Du looked at the piles of old books, and decisively released small flying insects, trying to see if he could find something more valuable.

After the little flying insect came out, it flew around in the air, and then flew to the pile of old books.

Li Du controlled it not to absorb the time energy in it, but paid attention to which pile of books it flew to, and recorded them one by one in order.

He thought that the little worm would be interested in these old books, but the little worm didn't search for them after flying quickly to a pile of books.

Obviously, except for this pile of books, other books have not survived for a long time, and such old books are worth less than new ones.

An hour later, the auction was about to start, and someone shouted with a loudspeaker: "Everyone leave the warehouse, leave the warehouse now, write down the location information of the books you need, please go outside the warehouse for the auction!"

Hans frowned and said, "This auction is different from before."

In the past, everyone stood next to the piles of books and auctioned them one by one.

Li Du can understand that there are a lot of piles of books in this auction, and there are also many people participating in the auction. The bookstore obviously intends to make a small profit and sell more books by dividing the pile of books into smaller pieces for auction.

In order, the first thing to start shooting is inspirational books.

There are about 20,000 to 30,000 books divided into 20 parts, each with about 1,000 books. The auctioneer speaks very fast, and the auction progresses very quickly:

"Inspirational No. A area, the starting price is 1,000 yuan, 1,000 yuan, whoever wants to please quickly raise your hand and let me see him..."

"Very well buddy, you got a thousand bucks and then 1100 bucks yes 1100 bucks..."

"The guy directly raised the price to 1,500 yuan, 1,500 yuan, 1,500 yuan. Is there anyone willing to increase the price? Very good, no one raised the price. These books belong to you, young man!"

1,500 yuan won 1,000 new books. This business is not bad. Li Du thought about it in his heart and asked, "You said, what if we photographed all the books and then set up a bookstore by ourselves?"

"Do you want to die?" Hans said, "If this bookstore can survive, why are they filing for bankruptcy?"

Li Du shrugged, what he said was right, he took it for granted.

They didn't have any interest in the books in the inspirational area, so they didn't participate in the auction, they just watched the excitement from the sidelines.

Book Auction** Warehousing Auction proceeds much faster, two auctioneers take turns, their words are like machine guns, as long as they hesitate, a pile of books in an area will be auctioned off.

Here the auctioneers don't wait for anyone to consider. They bid directly and then ask the price three times. If no one responds within three or four seconds, the deal will be made.

Ten minutes later, the auction of the storybook section started. Li Du patted Hans on the shoulder and said, "Go ahead, warrior!"

"The starting price for a total of 1,000 books in Story A area is 2,000 yuan, 2,000 yuan, 2,000 yuan, is anyone willing to accept..." the auctioneer quickly asked.

Hans immediately raised his hand: "2500 yuan!"

The auctioneer pointed at him and said, "This fellow offered 2,500 yuan, so will anyone accept 2,600 yuan?"

"Me!" A white woman nodded.

Hans immediately opened his hands and left. The psychological price of this pile of books is 2,500 yuan.

"A total of 1,100 books in the story area B. The starting price is 2,000 yuan. Is there anyone..."

"A total of 1,080 books in the story area C. The starting price is 2,000 yuan. Is there anyone..."

"...A total of 980 books in the story E area have a starting price of 2,000 yuan. Is there anyone willing to accept it?"

Hans bid again, nodded and said, "Just order 3,000 yuan!"

As the auction progressed, the bidding began to become fierce. There were a large number of people at the scene, and there were many people. In many cases, several people quoted a price.

In order to save time, Hans always quoted the reserve price directly.

This time their reserve price was relatively high, and interested treasure hunters shook their heads, thinking that the price was too high.

The auctioneer pointed to Hans and said, "3000 yuan is under the hammer, these books belong to you brother!"

In the story book area, according to Li Du's request, Hans took a total of four stacks of books and spent exactly 10,000 yuan to get 3,800 books.

In other book areas, such as the stacks of books on economics and management, education, technology, and life, they didn't offer any quotations, so they just watched the excitement on the spot and watched hundreds of people compete.

The competition for story books is the fiercest, because the most valuable are signed books, and generally speaking, novel authors are the most famous, and signed books are also the most valuable.

In fact, there are some books that are more valuable, and that is biographical books, especially the biographies of some sports stars and entertainment stars. If they have their autographs on them, the value of the books can be increased a hundred times.

But the bookstore is not stupid, even if this kind of book is usually sold, it will be placed in a symbolic position, and they cannot save it until the end for a low price auction.

After life books, there is the second-hand book auction. Most treasure hunters are not interested in second-hand books, because everyone knows that there are no treasures in these second-hand books.

The history of the United States is not long, and there are no antique calligraphy and painting books like China. Almost when this country was founded, the history of world civilization entered the era of printing presses.

In this case, regardless of the country or the people, very expensive old books are rare, and they will never be found in bookstores, and they will not appear in auctions.

The auctioneer started bidding, but the first pile of used books was sold out. The price was reduced to 100 yuan, but no one took over.

When we reached the second pile of old books, there were still not many interested people, so they were sold with a starting price of 1,000 yuan.

Seeing this, Hans and Li Du endured it, and when they reached the fifth pile of books, they did not bid, but waited for the pile of books to pass the auction.

No one was interested in this pile of books, and when the auctioneer was about to wave his hand to move on to the next one, Hans raised his hand and said, "The reserve price of one hundred yuan, I accept it!"

Seeing this, some treasure hunters who knew Hans and Li Du's abilities wanted to follow suit, but the auctioneer didn't give them a chance, and nodded directly: "Okay, these books belong to you, buddy!"

Several treasure pickers muttered resentfully:

"I still want to bid." "What's in this pile of books?" "Damn it, I have a hunch, these two bastards are going to get rich again!"

Hans raised his eyebrows at Li Du and showed a smug smile.
