Chapter 714 713. Australian Garbage Master (25)

There is a saying in China, which is called three hundred and sixty lines, the number one scholar comes from the line.

It can be seen from this sentence that social work in ancient times can be subdivided into at least 360 lines, and in modern times, there are more.

There are also "Three Hundred and Sixty Lines" in the United States. Li Du is engaged in warehouse auctions, second-hand goods trading, and ore picking are all niche industries among them.

He likes to refer to his main work of warehouse auction as picking up junk, but in fact this is just a self-deprecating name. There are other junk picking industries in the United States.

Garbage Masters is one such industry, an even more niche one.

The United States is the country that produces the most garbage in the world. Garbage Taobao is a mass industry, and homeless people everywhere and poor people in slums will do this job.

Trash masters are originally derived from these people. As the name suggests, they are masters of picking up trash, and there are such people in large American cities.

"They are generally alternative collectors," Hans said. "They look for things worth collecting from the garbage dump, and then put them in their own collection room. Many of them are millionaires."

Li Du said: "Collectors? Are they picking up trash for collection?"

Hans shrugged and said, "Otherwise, why are they called 'masters'? Some people call them garbage artists. In short, they are different from ordinary garbage pickers."

These people will collect the valuable things they find in the trash. "Valuable" does not mean worth money, but it is often equal to worth money.

Some garbage masters are old people. They remember their youth, and they will walk around the streets to look for things related to their youth, such as some old photos, such as some old furniture.

Some garbage masters are immigrants, and they collect things related to their hometown and their own culture, such as Indian-Indian garbage masters, Japanese-Japanese garbage masters, and the most Chinese-American garbage masters.

The garbage master’s apartment to be auctioned this time belongs to the latter. It is a rare Australian garbage master. The old man immigrated to Los Angeles more than 30 years ago. He missed his hometown more and more, and frantically collected things related to his hometown.

They don't have much money, and they can't go to grocery stores, stores, let alone auctions to buy such things, mainly by picking them up in garbage dumps and trash cans.

Lu Guan called them back because this garbage master is extraordinary. He lives in a villa area and owns a villa. Such a valuable garbage master often collects a lot of good goods.

Li Du stayed at home for a long time. After discussing with Hans, he decided to return, because according to the itinerary, the first stop they entered the United States was Los Angeles, which happened to be on the way.

Li's father and mother learned that he was going back to the United States. Although they were reluctant to part with him, they did not stop him.

After all, Li Du came back to live for more than two months, they don't miss him as much as before, and he went back to continue his studies and focus on his career, so they can understand him.

Two days before the farewell, Li's father and Li's mother gave him a lot of food and meat, so that he could finally eat more hometown dishes.

Of course, Godzilla and Dao are all cheaper in the end, how much can Li Du eat? Or the two ate too much.

However, he brought a lot of things from his hometown, such as meat sauce and egg sauce cooked by his mother, pickles pickled by his father, smoked sausages, and various special seasonings.

He stored these things in the black hole space of Xiao Chong, a space of about one cubic meter can hide a lot of things.

In early March, the weather in his hometown was gradually getting warmer. He bid farewell to his parents and set foot on the car to the provincial capital. He flew from the provincial capital airport to Hong Kong, and then transferred to Los Angeles.

On the way, he got acquainted with the garbage masters in the United States. There are not many people in this industry, but all of them have their own personalities, so they are very famous.

One of the most famous garbage masters in the United States is called Vince Bluto. He stayed in Austin, Texas and built a cathedral with garbage.

Vince Brutal was originally a pastor who preached in Spain when he was young. Due to health reasons, he left the church and returned to his hometown of Texas.

About twenty years ago, Austin's economy was in a downturn. Many young people left the city and left a lot of garbage. The government called on citizens to solve it.

Bruto got inspiration from these urban wastes. He thought of recycling waste. Relying on the church model he had seen when he was young and the architectural books he was bored to read during his recuperation, he had the idea of ​​using urban waste to build a church.

After that, he started his collection of garbage for more than ten years.

During this period, Bruto collected a large amount of garbage useful for building the church, and classified and coded it. About ten years ago, he started construction and finished it in one fell swoop.

Li Du read the introduction about Bruto’s garbage church. He used empty gasoline tanks to pour cement as the foundation of the church’s stone pillars, recycled iron sheets and old cardboard boxes as auxiliary building materials, and decorated the church with a large number of colored glass pieces. The construction is beautiful. Huan.

The name of the garbage master who has something to auction this time is Victor. No one remembers his surname. The neighbors in the villa area call him "Stubborn Victor".

This old man has been in Los Angeles for more than 30 years. He immigrated with his uncle. When he first came, he was still a man in his prime, and his uncle was his only relative.

Later, his uncle passed away and left him a lot of inheritance, including this villa next to the Los Angeles Botanical Garden.

Vixster missed Australia so much, but for some reason, he didn't go back, and stayed in Los Angeles, and then increased his sense of belonging by finding garbage related to his hometown.

Collecting rubbish in the high-end villa area is obviously something that other residents cannot tolerate. After all, this is a high-end residential area.

So, first the neighbors came to negotiate, but Vicker ignored him; then the neighbors complained to the property management company, but Vicker didn't care, and finally they reported it to the police station, but Vicker still didn't cooperate.

In this way, he got the title of 'Stubborn Vester'.

After thirty years of stubborn collection, Victor collected a lot of things and stored them in his villa, turning a big villa into a 'big garbage dump'.

Not long ago, Vickers passed away in his sleep. According to his will, his villa and the things he had collected for many years were donated to a charity in the United States that aims to help Australian immigrants—Good Australians.

The kind Australian decided to auction off the contents of the villa before selling the house.

After they entered the villa and looked at it, they found that the collection inside was not art or other valuables, but mostly household garbage, which was not very valuable.

Under the advice of professional organizations, they decided to take the auction of old houses to take pictures of the things in each room in the villa.

However, their auction method is slightly different from the old house auction, that is, the auction is conducted in units of rooms.
