Chapter 284 283. Star Wallet (Monthly Pass +34)

Hans asked, "Which wallet?"

Li Du said: "Let Akaluo tell you, you don't know? This wallet is very famous, I just saw it, so I must take pictures of this warehouse."

The playboy who was looking at the snakeskin wallet was shocked when he heard his words, and asked, "Did you see this wallet? Did you see it? Where is it?"

Li Du pointed to the cabinet and said, "It's in this cabinet. The door of the cabinet was ajar at that time. If you shone in with a flashlight, you could see the front half of the wallet."

The playboy was dumbfounded: "Damn, damn, are you serious? Why don't I remember?"

Hans said: "Lee's got really good insight, man, that's what we make our money on."

Li Du shrugged and said, "Don't be curious, this is a natural ability. My observation ability has been better than others since I was a child."

The playboy was still a little unbelievable, so Li Du picked up the flashlight and took a photo in the warehouse, pointing to a piece of clothing in the corner and said, "There is a small stool under the clothing, and there are painted Bavarian lines on the stool."

After listening to his words, the playboy walked into the corner of the warehouse and took a look. Sure enough, there was a small round stool half covered by the clothes, with some painted lines on the edge of the stool.

But from the outside, he couldn't see anything clearly, and only when he got close could he see the exposed edge of the stool.

After he came out, he almost threw himself at Li Du: "God, you are so good, I must give you a thumbs up, you are so good!"

Hans laughed and said, "Of course, Li is actually the Rain Man, the Rain Man in the observation world!"

The Playboy pointed at him and said, "Hey, you're not right, Li is not Rain Man, he is a normal super observer, a superhero like Hawkeye!"

Rain Man is an Oscar-best film starring Dustin Hoffman. The origin of the name is that the protagonist Rayman can't read clearly, and always calls himself "Rainman", which is written as "RAIN" in English. -MAN", translated literally, becomes "Rain Man".

Later, "Rain Man" became a proper noun with special meaning, referring to those who have some special talent but can't take care of themselves in daily life, that is, idiot genius.

Hans spread his hands and said, "Don't be such a man, it's boring to talk about words, you understand what I mean, do you think this wallet is very valuable?"

Li Du smiled happily: "It's finally my turn to teach you. This wallet is indeed more valuable, and it is also very famous. If you read National Geographic."

"More valuable? Li, you are so humble." The playboy checked the wallet over and over again, found a shield-shaped logo inside, and stroked it.

Hans said: "Damn it, you can't talk like that, don't tease me, hurry up, tell me its value and its identity."

"If this thing is brand new, the asking price should be around 400,000." Li Du laughed.

Hans was shocked and exclaimed: "Impossible, how can the wallet be so expensive? If it's so expensive, why don't I know about it?"

The playboy said: "What Li said is true. This is a product of the leather goods factory under the "National Geographic". If I remember correctly, it is a limited edition. Only sixteen pieces were produced."

"Yes, sixteen, because only twelve of the fifty-two young snakes survived in that batch, and only half of the forty young snakes that died were suitable for making purses, and they were damaged during the production process. Some of them eventually produced sixteen wallets." Li Du nodded.

Hans asked in astonishment: "How do you know? I don't even know!"

Li Du said: "Because you don't read books. I still remember that we got a batch of "National Geographic" magazines at an auction, and then I bought them. Why do you think I bought them? Shelved them like you did?"

Hans shook his head and said, "Oh no, I need to read, I need to study!"

The playboy sighed: "Knowledge is wealth, buddy, you taught us a vivid lesson! I spent 165,000 to buy a warehouse, but everything in it is worth less than half of this wallet."

Hans asked, "Is this wallet so expensive? Why is it so expensive?"

The Playboy said, "Yes, because this thing is a limited edition goodie, look at this snake head, this is no ordinary snake dude, this is a reticulated python."

"I know that the reticulated python, nicknamed the overlord python, is the longest python in the world. It can easily grow to ten meters long, and once it grows to ten meters, they will even eat their owners as food."

The Playboy nodded and said, "That's right, that's right. A reticulated python was found on a National Geographic shoot, but it died, laying fifty-two snake eggs before dying."

"After artificial efforts, most of these snake eggs hatched, but they continued to die during the growth process, and the dead ones were made into this thing."

"You have to know that the reticulated python is a big guy on the verge of extinction. Their young snakes are very precious things. This wallet happens to be made of the whole body of the young snake's skin and the snake's head."

"So, don't be surprised that it can sell for a high price. Also, look at its eyes, these are rubies, two pure rubies, and these two gems alone are worth a hundred thousand!"

After the introduction, the playboy fondly played with the wallet and added: "Anyway, this guy Li has a great vision, he should be born to do this job!"

Hans said happily: "Of course, of course, I mean, we can make a lot of money this time, brothers!"

In fact, Playboy did not say exactly why the purse is so expensive. National Geographic generally does not interfere with the survival of wild animals. The reason why they artificially hatch these baby pythons is because the dead female pythons have rare star patterns.

You should know that the back of the reticulated python's body is generally taupe or yellowish brown, with diamond-shaped dark brown and yellow or light gray reticulated markings, which is why they get their name.

The back of the dead female python has more complicated and mysterious star patterns, and the staff of the magazine believes that it may have inherited these patterns.

Later, after hatching the little boa constrictor, the patterns on the back of the little boa constrictor were also exquisite star patterns.

The name of this kind of wallet is not python wallet or mesh wallet, but star wallet, which is a good name.

Sixteen wallets were drawn up, and six were given to patrons who made special contributions to National Geographic magazine, and the remaining ten were sent to Paris Fashion Week for sale, and the money earned was used to provide net pattern Python Conservation Organization.

Among them, the selling price of those ten wallets was a terrifying US$400,000, and what was even more terrifying was that the ten wallets were sold out on the day they were released.

It is said that one of the snap-up buyers is a rich Chinese, and the other nine are all from the Middle East...
