Chapter 76 76. Networks Equal to Channels

Li Du wanted to ask how much it was, but he was worried about being misunderstood by Sophie, so he shrugged and said, "Then if I have a chance to find another set, would you accept it if I give it to you?"

Sophie giggled and waved her hands: "No, thank you for your kindness, my current salary is enough to support me to buy these dolls. But, that was just my impulse at the time, and I had no idea about them later."

Ah Meow squatted at her feet and looked curiously at the high-heeled shoes on her feet. There was a small bow on the back of the shoes. It probably thought it was a butterfly, so it stretched out its paws and scratched it twice.

Li Du quickly stopped it when he saw it: "Don't catch it, Meow, it's not a butterfly, you can't play with it..."

Ah Meow ignored him, and played happily while scratching the bowknot.

Li Du squatted down to grab Ah Miao back, but when he stretched out his hand, Ah Miao sprinted behind Sophie's leg. Sophie moved subconsciously, and Li Du stretched out his hand, and finally grabbed the female doctor's calf.

This was the first time he experienced the smooth touch of beautiful legs in stockings, but the scene was a bit awkward, so he quickly stopped and stood up to apologize: "Sorry, I didn't mean to."

Sophie smiled easily: "It's okay, Ah Meow is very cute, if it likes to scratch, let it scratch."

Seeing that she misunderstood his words, Li Du explained: "I apologize for touching your leg just now."

Sophie giggled and said, "I know, I think you're a little shy, so you deliberately changed the topic, but do you want to continue like this?"

Li Du laughed, the female doctor was obviously smarter than he expected.

Sophie didn't care, she continued to tease Ah Miao with her feet, and after a while, a doctor called her to help, so she waved to Li Du and left.

As soon as the female doctor left, Hans appeared like a ghost, with a mean smile on his face: "I see, Li, no wonder you don't like my sister, so you already have a sweetheart?"

Li Du rolled his eyes and said: "Don't use your filthy thoughts to guess my character. The relationship between Dr. Sophie and I is pure. By the way, do you know that these Barbie dolls are treasures, and they seem to be very expensive."

This was a tempting topic for Hans. He ran to find Mama Mesa and asked, "Mom, you have a lot of research on Barbie dolls, right? We just gave some dolls to Victoria and the others."

Mama Mesa patted him on the shoulder with her big hands and said with a satisfied smile: "I see, Hans and Li, you are really good young people, but don't spend so much money in the future, just buy ordinary dolls, you don't need to buy a collector's edition."

"Hehe, are these collector's editions? How much are they? Actually, we got them at the storage auction, so we don't know their prices," Hans said.

"The market price of this collection of dolls should be 5,000 yuan, because it was a limited edition when it was launched, and it is rare on the market now, so if we say that their actual price is estimated to be higher."

At this point, Mama Mesa added: "You don't know its value? You should show it to me first, but it's okay, I'll let the kids bring it back, and I'll fix the label sticker on the box, it's still like new .”

Li Du quickly stopped and said, "No, no, Mama Mesa, you misunderstood us. We just want to understand the market, because we may meet again in the future. As for the gifts given out, no matter how much they are, they cannot be taken back. , Children’s hobbies cannot be exchanged with any amount of money.”

Hans also nodded and said: "Yes, Mama Mesa, what you said just now was insulting me. I didn't regret asking the value. You made me very unhappy."

Mesa's mother smiled and said, "Well, Mesa's mother apologizes to you. You are good children just like Sophie and the others. It is because of people like you that the Lord has not given up on this world."

Li Du asked, "Are you familiar with Dr. Sophie?"

Mama Mesa nodded and said: "Yes, I have known her since she was a girl, a kind and good girl, may God bless her. Now every year she will call some colleagues to give us a free medical examination, otherwise we will How can there be extra money for medical examination?"

Li Du wondered, "Isn't this physical examination organized by the hospital?"

Mama Mesa smiled and said, "No, no, it's organized by Sophie and the others. There are two times a year, and they use their rest time to do inspections. God bless the good people."

What Hans cared about was: "Isn't the money enough?"

Mother Mesa said with a strong and optimistic smile: "I always hope that if I have more money, I can help a few more people."

Li Du was about to take out his wallet, but a nurse called Mama Mesa and told her to prepare things.

Sophie and the others were undergoing a comprehensive physical examination. The orphanage was very busy, and Li Du and Hans could only leave because they couldn't help.

On Monday, Hans called Li Du and asked him to come over and prepare to sell ceramic animals.

Hannah just took a break, so she drove a BMW Z4 to pick him up, allowing him to experience the feeling of flying in the city.

After getting off the car, Li Du said helplessly: "I regret buying this car for you, Hannah, you drive too fast, be careful!"

Hannah said enthusiastically, "Please, Li, I have never been speeding, and I have completely obeyed the traffic rules. How can it be dangerous at this speed? You are too conservative."

Li Du shrugged, maybe, he was certainly conservative compared to Hans and Hannah.

After seeing him, Hans said: "Remember the Carter you gave him a ceramic statue? He helped us contact the customer, the Phoenix Pottery Museum, and they are interested in buying these goods."

Li Du was surprised: "The speed is really fast. I thought it would take several months for these things to be sold on E-bay or Amazon."

This is the power of connections. He gave Carter a ceramic Triceratops, and Carter reciprocated and helped them connect with sales channels.

As in previous sales, the Phoenix Pottery Museum sent a manager and two ceramic experts to check the authenticity of these ceramics.

At ten o'clock, the two sides met. The manager of the pottery hall was named Lu Qi Payne, the older one of the two experts was called Corey Kurahn, and the younger one was named Nick.

After seeing fifty-four pottery toys, Corey and Nick first took a closer look at them one by one with a magnifying glass.

About half an hour later, Corey came over and nodded, "It's all real."

"Are you sure?" Pervin asked.

Corey picked up a pottery stegosaurus and said: "No problem, you see, this is a tire-making handicraft, and Cohen likes to use tire-making technology to carry out manual creations the most. He is good at using this technology to simulate the petrochemical process."

Li Du asked curiously, "How did you find out?"

Corey smiled and said: "It takes some experience. Take a rough look, ignore the beautiful glaze on their surface. These objects are covered under the material, and the material can capture their shape and texture. In turn, these objects The material in turn preserves what it covers, like a rock."

Li Du nodded and said, "You mean, although these pottery works are made after imitating modern plastic toys, they actually use the technique of imitating fossils?"

Corey glanced at him in surprise and said, "You're right, this is what I'm going to say next, young man, do you understand this craft?"

"No, no, no, I don't understand, I just speculate from your words."

Corey was even more surprised: "Then you are really talented in this area, are you interested in learning pottery making and appraisal from us?"

Hans said: "My buddy is easy to learn, he must be interested, but now our interest should be in the price, are you willing to buy these handicrafts?"
