MTL - America’s Treasure King-Chapter 33 Dig out the old house on the weekend
After fighting all night, Li Xiaoshuai got up again at eight in the morning. Although today is Saturday, Li Xiaoshuai still has business to do.
This business was introduced by Fatty Ron last night. It is said that a veteran's home is auctioning off sundries. I have already agreed with the intermediary, let him take a look first, if it is suitable, I will take it, it is not suitable; the intermediary will also hang up on the Internet to recruit.
As soon as he heard that he was a veteran, Li Xiaoshuai immediately remembered the old gun and promised to go see it today.
Li Xiaoshuai's tossing woke Elaine again. I heard that she was going to see the old house, which was not far away, and Xiao Nizi also clamored to follow her, saying she wanted to open her eyes.
Well, wash up; eat, the young couple drove away.
This house is not far from Ron's garage, and I don't know how he found out.
According to the address given by Fatty, Li Xiaoshuai quickly found his destination, and there was a guy in a suit waiting at the door.
Li Xiaoshuai asked, is it an intermediary? I'm Ron's good brother Li Xiaoshuai.
The agent smiled and said, I know, we are all Ron's friends. As soon as we saw that it was from the Rabbit Country, we knew it was you. "Come on, let's look at the house first."
Standing in front of the door, Li Xiaoshuai first looked at the old house.
This is a two-story building with about 10 rooms. It has white walls and gray tiles. Like other American families, there is a grass in front of the door, and the trees are lush, which makes it extraordinarily quiet.
There was an old sunshade on the grass, and a swing frame for children to play with, and only the rusted skeleton was left.
Entering the living room, it was dilapidated and messy, as if it had been robbed.
The sofa was broken, the lamp was gone, and the painting on the wall was removed, leaving only a white trace.
The agent explained that the old owner of the house had passed away, and his son did not live here, so he moved all the valuables in the house.
Elaine asked, "Since all the valuables have moved away, what should we do?"
Li Xiaoshuai introduced to the intermediary laugher, this is my girlfriend Elaine, she is a layman, don't mind.
Then he explained to Elaine that if there were valuable things in this place, who would not move them away, wouldn't that be a fool. We are treasure hunters, and we do the work of panning for gold in the sand. If we can't find any valuables, it is also because we are unlucky.
The intermediary didn't take it seriously: "Yes, that's how treasure hunters are."
In the bedroom next to the living room, the bed is still there. Against the wall is a large wardrobe with an open door. There are many old beddings, old blankets, coats and so on.
Li Xiaoshuai used his clairvoyant power to look at the clothes, clothes, clothes, layer by layer, and there was an ivory carving in the style of the Rabbit Country in an old clothes near the bottom layer.
The ability also shows that "the rabbit is domestically produced, and the ivory carving of Ming Jiajing's 'Taiping has an elephant'."
"Ming Dynasty, good stuff!"
Li Xiaoshuai didn't look at all and continued to follow the intermediary upstairs. There was basically nothing of value on the second floor.
Going down to the storage room on the basement floor, the first thing that catches the eye is a very old piano. The clairvoyant ability continues to scan, and it shows that it is "a piano made in Italy, made in 1821."
Then I looked at the speaker of the piano with a perspective eye, and there were many steel wires in it that were rotten. The basic skeleton was still intact, and it could still be used after repairing it. Then I looked at the piano keys with a perspective eye, and they were all made of ivory.
Li Xiaoshuai secretly said, not bad!
Continuing the inspection, Li Xiaoshuai still had an old moldy suitcase in the corner, which looked disgusting, but Li Xiaoshuai didn't care about it in order to dig for treasures, so he continued to scan with his X-ray eyes.
Seeing the old military uniforms in the box, he thought to himself that the original owner of the house was really a veteran.
Continuing to see through, I can also see that in the pocket of the old military uniform, there is a silver and gold-plated lighter owned by senior German generals during World War II.
This lighter Li Xiaoshuai has seen in Gardner's information. It is said that it must be issued at the rank of major general, and the value can be at least 10,000 US dollars.
"Okay, even if you spend 10,000 dollars, you will also get this old house!"
On the old cabinet in the basement, there is an old four-minute clock more than a foot high. If it can be dropped by the owner, it must not be moved.
The perspective eye shows: "The Royal Watch Factory in London, England, produced four bells in 1800."
The heart said that this can also be repaired, so the watchmaker chose him.
In the old wooden box in the corner, there was also a thick stack of envelopes tied with twine. Li Xiaoshuai scanned them one by one with his clairvoyant eye, and saw that there were several letters from World War II, with postmarks or military posts.
Li Xiaoshuai felt a surprise in his heart, and pressed the ecstasy in his heart. After reading these letters, there was an even bigger surprise. The person who wrote the letter turned out to be the famous general Patton during World War II.
Celebrities!
Li Xiaoshuai can be sure that he will definitely want these letters from Morgan, and he must be willing to pay a lot of money!
Returning to the messy living room again, what did the agent say, do you like it?
"Just don't know the price?"
The agent said you really want $300, but you have to clean the house today!
With $300, Li Xiaoshuai felt that this was a sham, and he thought to himself, "Aiya, I've had a lot of luck recently, has my character exploded?"
Elaine also said, "One day, time is too tight?"
"No way. If you don't want it, I'll put this information on the Internet right away. The request is still one day, which is today."
"Okay, I want it." Li Xiaoshuai immediately gave the agent 3 Franklins, and the agent left quickly.
Seeing that the agency was far away, Li Xiaoshuai picked up the phone and called Frank, asking him to call the fat man Ron over to help. Relying on him alone, he can't play with the garbage in these dozen rooms.
"Wife, let's work."
"OK."
There was nothing of value in the living room, so Li Xiaoshuai and Elaine lifted the sofa and coffee table, and threw them into the pickup truck.
After loading a car, Frank and Fatty came over in the same car. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
Frank was used to picking up treasures; it was nothing, but the fat man was reluctant, muttering that he was disturbing people's dreams, and he had to compensate for a meal of Li's food.
Li Xiaoshuai arranged Frank and Ron to the kitchen, and he took Lilian to the bedroom. He asked Elaine to help sort the clothes in the wardrobe, and he dismantled the bed by himself.
Picking it up, Elaine saw the baby elephant carved from ivory.
"Li; Li, come quickly, I seem to have found my baby!" Elaine shouted happily.
Elaine carefully handed the treasure in her hands to Li Xiaoshuai, and he picked it up to examine it carefully. This is an ivory carving the size of an adult's palm. The color has turned yellow, and there are several fine cracks on the top.
"Well, the style should be an antique from the Rabbit Country."
Elaine also asked, how much can it sell for?
To be honest, Li Xiaoshuai doesn't know the exact price, but he thinks that a pen holder he recycles can sell for $25,000, so the ivory carving is more expensive than the bamboo carving. "An estimate of $50,000 is fine."
"Haha, I'm so happy." Elaine hugged Li Xiaoshuai and gnawed wildly for a while.
It happened that Ron and Frank came in. Seeing this scene, Ron shouted that this place is a public place, please pay attention to the influence of certain dogs and men.
"Hmph, you are jealous of us, Fatty Fatty." Elaine gave Ron a dissatisfied look. Then she pointed to the ivory baby elephant and said, "Look at the antiques from Rabbit Country that Li picked up."
After looking at it, Frank sighed and said, Li; I have to say that your luck is really good, and you can still pick up antiques from Rabbit Country.
Elaine asked again, how much can it sell for?
Frank "About tens of thousands of dollars is fine."
"Yeah, that's great!"
