Treasure Hunt Tycoon
Chapter 1460: Whisky auction (4/5)
With the increase in exposure, Li Du is also a small celebrity in the California auction industry. Although he started as a non-mainstream auction of warehouse auctions, his never-lost record is still very shocking, and many collectors are right. He is full of interest.
In August, autumn is not far away. Many auctions will hold the most important auction of the year in this season. Christie's, Sotheby's and other auction industry crocodile make autumn auctions the top priority.
Li Du is not interested in such high-end auctions, because it is almost impossible to find leaks in these auctions. To be able to log in to auctions of this level, any item has been repeatedly identified and the value space has been determined.
But this kind of auction can open up connections, so he got a few invitations through Cole Winston.
Originally, he only needed two. He and Sophie could go there. As a result, Cole asked him for four, and they were all in the VIP seat.
So he called Hans and asked him to take his girlfriend to Los Angeles. Can't he just stay in a small town? He invited Hans out to join the auction.
Hans really changed his temper, and since he decided to stay in River Valley, he really took root there. Apart from making a few phone calls with Li Du, there is no other contact.
In addition to Sotheby's invitation for autumn auctions, he also received invitations from other auctions, one of which was a folk collection art auction. This auction invited Li Du to be a guest, and Li Du Xin agreed.
This kind of folk art collection has the best chance to pick up leaks. Of course, 90% of the contents are fakes, but as long as you can seize the 10% chance to find some buried authentic products, you can make a lot of money.
The auction was held in a small theater in the West Hollywood area, and the theme was very interesting. It was called "Peeping into the private life of Hollywood's lowest-profile stars." The time was at the end of August, and he was okay during this time, so he decided to take a look.
Knowing his decision, a group of treasure pickers immediately followed.
"There is meat to follow Li." Dickens grinned.
Li Du took them to bid for real estate auctions, but they made a lot of money. Each auction has a profit of at least 100,000. After coming to Los Angeles, they have participated in four auctions. There are nearly a million profits!
Of course, not all of their profits have been realized. Some of the money is in the house, and the house has not been sold.
However, Li Du instructed them that the houses they bought were all worth the money. As long as they were not greedy for high prices, they could shoot quickly and withdraw funds quickly.
On the subway, a crowd crowded Li Du to West Hollywood.
As they entered the subway, a group of teenagers approached.
These people are all in their teens to fifteen or sixteen years old. They are all black and look like children, but they walk up the road, domineering and old-fashioned. Some people are dragging things like baseball bats and steel pipes in their hands.
Li Du first entered the subway entrance. A few children whistled at him when they saw him, and then came towards him with bad intentions together.
Immediately afterwards, a stature picker and more robust bodyguards appeared behind Li Du.
Seeing this, the teenagers spit and retracted.
Li Du glanced at them somehow, and said, "Who are these children? Really uneducated."
Ollie laughed: "You boys, it's all like that. You like to drink, drink and dress casually. You think you are a hero, and time will make them mature."
As per the figure, they arrived at the small theater more than an hour later.
There are many theaters in Los Angeles. The theater that hosts folk collections is called 'Graywood'. I don't know if it has anything to do with Hollywood.
Li Du took out the invitation letter to the security guard and asked him to go to the back office after the security check. Other treasure pickers can enter the venue. They do not need the invitation letter.
This kind of auction requires attention, and you are willing to come to the auction, no matter if you want to make fun or really want to buy something.
For the organizer, as long as they can participate in the auction, it is best to crowd people to sit down, so that they can better publicize in the future.
Li Du went to the backstage, where the auctioneer and other guests invited by the organizer were sorting clothes, and also placed the upcoming lot.
After reading his invitation, a middle-aged black woman came up and shook hands with him enthusiastically: "Welcome, Mr. Li, and thank you very much for participating in our auction."
Li Du said quietly, "This is my pleasure."
Looking at the neatly arranged lots, he released the flying insects in time, ready to find some of the valuable things, and then ready to take them down.
As a result, as soon as space-time flying insects came out, Li Duxian saw a small jar.
He stared at the painted little jar, and then the more he looked at it, the more he felt like it was something that shouldn't have appeared here: the ashes!
Until he saw the black and white photo engraved on the jar, he finally confirmed his conjecture.
He pointed at the jar and said, "God, what's the purpose of putting this thing here? Wouldn't you also put it up for auction?"
The black woman smiled proudly: "Yes, this is one of our gimmicks at this auction."
Li Du hesitated ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ and said, "I may be a little ignorant, but I want to know that this should be an ashes pot?"
The black woman said, "Yes, Mr. Li, you are not ignorant at all. On the contrary, we think you are well-informed. This is the urn ashes, but it is not an ordinary urn. It is Mr. Truman Capote who sleeps inside . "
Mr. Li was very puzzled by the name proposed by the other party. He had never heard of the name. Those who were related to 'Truman' only knew Harry Truman, the famous president in American history.
But the president's surname was Truman, and the name of this Mr. Capote was Truman.
Li Du was so confused that someone saw it and laughed: "Ha, you don't know Truman Capote? You don't even know him? How do you get in touch with art?"
Another said, "I know this guy, he's engaged in warehouse auctions, and he doesn't need to know any artists, writers, etc., as long as he has strength."
After listening to the latter, some coquettish sounded in the background.
Li Du turned to look at the two and said, "To be honest, everyone, I really don't know who Truman-Capote is, but I know Wang Xizhi, Zhang Xu, Yan Zhenqing, Wu Daozi, do you know them?"
The two looked at each other and looked at each other, and said, "I don't know, who are you talking about?"
Li Duqi asked, "Even the most famous calligraphers and painters in Chinese history don't know? When they created works of art, the nation of the United States had not yet been born."
He was obviously ironic. One of them was angry and said, "We are not Chinese, why should we know what your calligrapher is?"
Li Dudao: "Is this Truman Capote a Chinese? I'm not an American, why should I know this gentleman?"
