****************
This young man, Maureen, looks like a typical white Australian, but fortunately, he is the kind with higher education, not the kind of street gangster, so he is very friendly to the Chinese. After getting in touch with him, Jin Muchen also more assured
Furthermore, even if this guy has any malicious intentions, Jin Muchen is not very afraid. On the one hand, he has the ability to protect his body, and on the other hand, it is also because there are several guns in the space.
If this guy wants to knock his own sap, Jin Muchen doesn't mind giving him a lesson
In the early morning of the next day, before it was dawn, Jin Muchen received a call from Mo Lin. It turned out that for the salary of 200 Australian dollars, this kid got up early.
He now drives the hotel, and an hour is 13 yuan, so the 200 Australian dollars promised by Jin Muchen is not a small sum for him
After washing hastily, and then putting on an inconspicuous sportswear, Jin Muchen left the room
This Maureen had been waiting for him at the entrance of the hotel, but this time Maureen did not drive the hotel's luxury car, but drove his own Holden
This car is actually a joint venture OEM product of GM in Australia. It should have the lion logo that Australians are proud of, so it is very popular here. Many people think that this is an independent brand in Australia, and it is very popular on the road. common
Jin Muchen got in the car and sat in the back seat. Mo Lin greeted him, then kicked the accelerator and drove the car straight to the stone area.
The Stone District is one of the most famous tourist landmarks in Sydney. Most of the earliest British colonists who came to Sydney landed here.
It can even be said that this is the prototype of the earliest urban area of Sydney, because most of the buildings here were built by the first batch of colonists and built with local stones, so they have the current name here, Stone District.
Later, it once became an area where thieves, traders and priestesses haunted a lot. After the city of Sydney was built, it became a famous dirty and messy area in Sydney.
Various crimes occurred frequently here, and thieves and criminals were rampant. This situation continued until 920, when the construction of the Sydney Iron Bridge began, and many blocks here were directly demolished.
Since then, the grand occasion here is no longer what it used to be. Later, I know that in 970, Sydney's urban area has expanded and expanded, and it has also changed from a remote and dirty area to a downtown area of Sydney.
At that time, the city government of Sydney saw that it was a waste of a treasure of Feng Shui to let this place rot.
So it was renovated and developed a commercial center for tourism, and it has become prosperous again.
Jin Muchen didn't know this history at first, but Mo Lin, who was driving in front, was a very responsible tour guide. He drove Jin Muchen all the way here to introduce Jin Muchen about the situation here.
So this journey is not boring, and Jin Muchen listened with relish.
Soon the car arrived at Circular Quay. After turning to the northwest, it took five minutes to drive to the famous Stone District. Moore Park is in the center of the Stone District, and there is a racetrack next to it.
"The horse racing here is very interesting, and when there is no horse racing, there will be dog racing or pig racing. You might as well come and watch when you have time."
When the car approached Moore Park, Mo Lin pointed to several large competition fields not far from the park and introduced to Jin Muchen.
Jin Muchen also felt a little ironic when he heard it, these white skins really dared to bet on anything.
In fact, we Chinese have a good reputation for gambling in the world, but in fact, it is these white people who are better at gambling than the Chinese in the world.
Some people have done statistics. The world's second largest loser in the **** industry every year is the Chinese, and the first is the American. This shows that these guys are addicted to gambling.
As early as in the United States, Jin Muchen had heard that Americans gamble on everything, and you may see more Chinese people in **, but Americans?
They usually sit at home and make bets on the phone. They mostly bet on various sports events, such as American football, baseball, ice hockey, basketball, and horse racing, dog racing, pig racing, etc.
However, he doesn't know much about these projects, so he has not personally participated in it.
What he didn't expect was that these American hobbies, his little brothers in Australia actually learned the same way, and they all learned it over and over again, which is quite interesting.
Seeing that Jin Muchen was silent, Mo Lin knew that the boss might not be interested in those things, so he stopped pushing him and drove him directly to Moore Park.
This Moore Park is famous in the Stone District, because it is a place where cyclists ride freely every week. The environment is very good, but in a rest area in the park, there will be a flea market every weekend.
In the beginning, this flea market was just a large-scale agricultural product sales meeting organized by some suburban farmers, but later, many thieves discovered the advantage of this market, that is, the flow of people was very large, so the farmers market opened every weekend morning. Before, these guys came back here to set up stalls to sell their stuff, and it became a habit over time
Many local old citizens know that in Moore Park, there will be a city in the morning, and there will be everything in it. Anything you can think of can be seen here.
Mo Lin found a place to park the car, Jin Muchen got out of the car, and followed him all the way to the morning market
At this time, the sky was not yet bright, but he had already seen it from a long distance. In the middle of the park, there was a place where a lot of people gathered, many people were holding flashlights in various places. What is rummaging in the stall, and there are people haggling with the stall owner
Jin Muchen was interested when he saw it. Although the scale of this ghost market is not large, it is far from the one he has been to in the United States, but after all, it is a ghost market. As long as there is such a place, it means good things.
Soon he was in it under the leadership of Mo Lin. It seems that there are about a hundred stalls in this market, and there are not many people visiting the market. He glanced at it and found almost a thousand people.
The stalls here are not standardized. Most stall owners simply spread a blanket on the ground, and then put the items they want to sell on the blanket.
Moreover, there are no lighting facilities in many booths. If you want to pick good things from here, it depends on the eyesight of buyers. If they don't have flashlights when they come, they will definitely be out of luck.
Jin Muchen followed the flow of people and walked into the market. When passing by each stall, he would take a few glances.
But soon I felt a little disappointed. Although I knew that most of the vendors who came here to sell are stolen goods, but there are not many things he likes in these stolen goods.
For example, he didn't see all kinds of antiques, or works of art, oil paintings that he wanted to see, but he saw all kinds of electronic products the most.
Like a stolen iPhone, or a camera, or a tablet, a laptop or something like that
There are even, and PS game consoles, and many game CDs. The most exaggerated thing is that he even saw a booth with several huge flat-screen TVs.
These electronic products, without exception, are mostly dirty goods, mobile phones, computers, etc., which may be found by the thieves from tourists, and those game consoles and TVs may be the thieves who visited other people's homes, or Loot in the mall warehouse
The price of these things is indeed very attractive. A brand-new Apple computer costs only one thousand Australian dollars, and the most expensive Apple mobile phone is only a few dozen to one hundred Australian dollars.
If Jin Muchen was a poor student, he would definitely be very tempted, but he is not a poor student, nor is he here for these things
Disappointed, he was still a little unwilling, so he continued to follow the crowd of people and walked inside. He could see most of the market and found nothing worthy of his attention.
Just when he was about to return in disappointment, suddenly a flash of light caught his attention with the same item on a booth.
He walked over. The stall owner was a white young man with pimples on his face, in his twenties. There were several half-worn and PS game consoles on the stall.
There is also a cardboard box next to it, and there are various game discs in the cardboard box.
"What do you like, sir, just pick?"
When the young man saw Jin Muchen coming to his booth, he was a little nervous at first, but when he saw that Jin Muchen seemed to be good at talking, he took the initiative to say hello to him.
Jin Muchen didn't look at those game consoles and CDs at all. He pointed directly to a photo album under the carton containing some CDs, and said to the young man.
"What is that? Can you show it to me?"
The young man was stunned for a moment, but UU read www.uukanshu.com but didn't say much. He directly opened the cardboard box, then took the thing out and handed it to Jin Muchen.
Jin Muchen opened the album and was surprised. It turned out that this album was not a special album for family photos, but a stamp album.
The pages inside are covered with various stamps from various eras
At first glance, most of these stamps are issued in Australia, and they all have local Australian postmarks. It seems that they are a little old.
For example, there are many stamps of Queen Victoria's head or bust that Jin Muchen has seen many times in the United States. Such stamps were very popular for the British colonies back then, and the circulation was not small.
After Jin Muchen entered the antique industry, he not only specialized in Chinese antiques, but also had a little research on Western antiques, especially in stamps. To be continued) Happy reading every day
