Treasure Hunt Tycoon

Li Du didn't know Audubon very much. He was really ignorant. This proves that if he wants to work in the warehouse auction industry, he must continue to expand his knowledge.

Audubon is extremely famous in the United States. When he was alive, he was considered a great bird naturalist painter. After his death, his influence was even greater. Even his name became a symbol of animal protection.

The Audubon Society was established in 1886. It is an organization with a history of more than 120 years. It is mainly responsible for leading the generations of Americans to love nature. From the beginning, it was one of the largest private environmental protection organizations in the United States. One.

However, this is a bit ironic. Audubon's paintings relied on a large number of birds to make specimens. At that time, he did not have the concept of environmental protection and bird protection, purely because of his hobby and popularization of ornithology.

As a result, he is now the ancestor of protecting animals, birds, and the environment. I don't know if the birds who died under him at that time would scold the mother in hell.

Lee Du can't control this. He has to entertain Bravo Thompsey and his party. Audubon Society is very famous and energetic in the United States.

Bravo was a polite man, and after a meeting with Li Du, the two sides embarrassed.

He is very polite to Li Du and talks and cares for Li Du's feelings because he was introduced by Cole and probably knows Li Du's identity.

Li Du suddenly realized that he had sold the book himself this time. After getting "Bird of the Americas", he hanged on his Twitter and face-book. It is estimated that Cole saw it and contacted the customer by himself. .

"Can we read this book first?" Bravo asked.

Li Du nodded: "Of course this is fine."

This book is very large, but the birds in the paintings are one to one with real birds.

On the first sheet of paper are three fat birds with yellow and white patterns. Bravo said after seeing it, "This is a prairie hazel chicken. The two who are fighting are bound to be roosters. They are only hens. Two roosters are fighting for the site and the hen. "

Turning one more page, the drawing above is even more beautiful and complicated. There is a bird nest on a tree with four eggs, and there are four birds next to it, either standing on the treetop or flying up in the air, and hanging on a branch A white-bellied snake with black scales.

"This is the brown nest with ridiculous birds' nests and eggs. They are the most mother-loving birds. The snake wants to eat the eggs. They fight the snakes."

In this way, five people gathered around the desk, looked at the book, and discussed while reading.

Turn the book over. On the back cover are two birds staying together. One feather is blue-blue as a whole, and the other is fuchsia. It has red eyes and golden beaks. It is very beautiful.

Seeing this picture, five people exclaimed together:

"Oh, look here, this bird hasn't found a prototype yet. It seems to be an extinct bliss bird?"

"Ha, this book's description of it is too clear. The collections of other museums have some problems on this page."

"Yes, the back cover of the" Bird of the Americas "at the Smithsonian has also been worn out. It is the first time I have seen this bird so clearly."

"Shouldn't this be a species? Judging by its size and appearance, it has never been a real example."

"This is the value of" Birds of the Americas ", man, Audubon will not paint birds he has never seen before. Such beautiful birds must have really existed. Unfortunately, they should be extinct ..."

Five people watched the book for nearly an hour, and the patterns on each piece of paper were carefully analyzed. They did not look like people from environmental protection organizations, but more like ornithologists.

After researching, Bravo groaned with the book and sighed, "There are eighty-five species of birds in it, and there are sixty-one species extinct so far. Alas, it's a pity."

Li Dudao: "So we should protect the environment together. You are doing very well now. Guiding everyone to cherish and love nature is the greatest cause of mankind."

After hearing what he said, Bravo smiled and said, "We are honored to receive this praise from you. This is our duty and I hope we can do better."

It was another polite phrase, and eventually, Sophie brought coffee, and they started talking about the book.

"Do you want to sell it?" Bravo asked. "I wonder what your expected price would be?"

Li Du winked at Hans, and in this respect Hans appeared.

Hans was stunned and listed the performance of the previous book "Birds of the Americas" at auction and the difference between the two books. Then he said decisively: "Sixteen million dollars, gentlemen, you are knowledgeable. That's a reasonable price, right? It's our natural fossil in America! "

The Bravo side showed a desire to buy the book, but they could not afford such a price, and they were willing to give up to $ 10 million.

From this we can see the strength of Audubon. They are non-profit environmental organizations ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~, but they can pay at least 10 million US dollars for a book!

However, considering that the family has a history of 120 to 30 years, many financial investments have been made, and with the donation of the whole people, the association has the money to understand.

Hans could not accept this price, but he made a guarantee that the book would sell for more than 15 million.

Li Du didn't expect this book to really sell 15 million. The previous book could sell 11.5 million, mainly with the help of the light of a large international auction.

His expectation for this book is about 11 million US dollars. Inflation plus the protection of this book is better. He thinks that selling this price is not a problem.

The two sides started a tug-of-war on the price. Bravo and others were very dead-headed, and given $ 10 million, they refused to add money.

Hans was as stone-bound as a dog, and despite his tongue-in-cheek, he couldn't help it.

But he wasn't in a hurry, so the book wasn't sold to the Audubon Society, and some museums were interested in the book.

Li Du listened to the dispute between the two sides, then he thought about it and clapped his hands and said, "Everyone is quiet, guys, calm down first, listen to me."

The crowd stopped arguing and looked at him together.

Li Du continued: "Obviously, the Audubon Society's love for this book is obvious to all, and we know the value of this book, and the price of 10 million is too low."

"Well, we all take a step back. We sell this book for 14 million ..."

Upon hearing this, Bravo and others shook their heads.

Li Du said: "The price is 14 million. When we close the deal, we donate 4 million US dollars to your association. How about it?"

The heads of the Audubon Society immediately moved. They gathered together to discuss it, and Bravo came forward and smiled. "Mr. Li, thank you for your support for the global environmental protection cause."
