Hans pointed to an oil painting of a blonde young man with a long face and jewels. On the painting were the words: Spoilum, February 1779, painted by Prince Sayre of Hawaii at the Pearl River Harbor.
Li Du said, "And then?"
Hans said, "You see, he is a prince. Although I don't know which Hawaiian prince he is, he must be famous. What if we can contact his descendants and sell this painting to them?"
Li Du nodded and said, "That's a good idea, but you have to be clear. First, his descendants may not be rich. Second, rich people are not stupid. He will not let you charge a high price for this painting."
Hans smiled and said, "Of course, but he will definitely be willing to buy this painting at a higher price than the market price. This kind of painting has a unique meaning to him and his family. Of course, that is if his family is still around. "
Li Du looked at the paintings and said, "This prince can be handled as you said. What about the others? The others don't look like status symbols. "
Hans waved his hand and said, "That's even better. We can erase the names on the paintings, find those who look like the people in the paintings, and sell the paintings to them."
"As their ancestors?" Li Du immediately understood what he meant.
Hans snapped his fingers and said, "Yes, sell the portraits of their ancestors to them. Do you remember that you once found some toilet paper used by senior Japanese generals during World War II? It's the same principle. "
That matter had been in the past for a long time. Li Du had bought a batch of toilet paper and Hans had sold it to a rich Japanese man, who needed something to show off his family background.
Hans believed that it was not only the Japanese who had such an idea. Many white people also needed a prominent family background to support their current status in the upper class.
Therefore, the people in the paintings did not have to be the ancestors of the rich. As long as they looked like the rich, and the history of the paintings was real, then they would be willing to buy it.
However, it would take time to deal with it. Li Du was not in a hurry, and let Hans take his time to find suitable customers.
He had only been back for two days when Luo Qun came directly to his door. She was no longer wearing a police uniform, but a tight-fitting denim outfit that wrapped around her tall body. Paired with her long black ponytail, she looked very heroic.
When he saw Luo Qun, Hans, who was holding a tablet and looking up the faces of rich people on the internet, suddenly felt sad again. He sighed with a sad face.
Li Du did not know what was wrong with him and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Hans said, "When I saw Rose's ponytail, I remembered the girl I like, Barbara."
Li Du also remembered the shepherd girl with the blond ponytail from Riverdale. He hadn't heard Hans mention her in a while. He asked, "How are things between you and her now?"
Hans said helplessly, "She doesn't seem to be interested in me. D * mn it, I've spent so much effort chasing after her. To be honest, man, I've never put in so much effort, but unfortunately, she's not interested in me. "
After hearing his words, Luo Qun said in an indifferent tone, "Oh, that means she really doesn't like you."
Hans glared at her and said, "Are you sure you want to sprinkle salt on my wound?"
Luo Qun shrugged and said, "After I sprinkle the salt, I have to rub it. What's wrong?"
Seeing her so stubborn, Hans suddenly felt helpless. Like a deflated balloon, he said, "It's nothing. Anyway, competing with you won't win her heart."
This was the first time Li Du had seen him show such sincerity when talking about girls. He comforted him and said, "Don't lose confidence in yourself. Show me what you're made of. Weren't you a master at picking up girls?"
Luo Qun said coldly, "There's no such thing as a master at picking up girls. The girls he picked up were either interested in his money, or they wanted to play like him …"
Hearing this, Hans became more and more depressed.
Li Du pushed Luo Qun into the study and said, "Alright, alright, stop talking."
Luo Qun said unwillingly, "I'm just telling the truth. It's not like you don't know what he was like in the past. How can you watch him harm a good girl?"
Hans shouted at the top of his lungs, "She's not a scourge, I really love her!"
Luo Qun turned around and shouted, "Then go tell her, make her believe you."
Li Du quickly closed the door and asked, "Alright, let's get down to business. What are you doing here?"
Luo Qun glared at him angrily. "Don't play dumb. You know why I'm looking for you."
Li Du said helplessly, "Of course I know, but I'm telling you, don't worry. When spring comes, when the weather in Siberia improves, we can go. I've already found help."
Luo Qun stared at him and said, "I can go first. Can you wait until the weather gets better?"
Li Du immediately slammed the table and said, "Don't mess around. I said I would help you, but you have to listen to me. Luo Qun, you're looking for death if you go alone! I won't help someone who's looking for death! "
Luo Qun stamped her feet anxiously and said anxiously, "I'll go explore the way first. We need someone to explore the way, right? You know, even in war, we need a vanguard … "
"I've already contacted the vanguard. It's the Nenets people. They will be our tour guides. They will lead the trip to Siberia," Li Du said immediately.
Luo Qun had nothing to say and could only leave unhappily.
After seeing her off, Li Du thought for a moment and was about to call Steve to see what he had arranged.
Lu Guan came in happily and said, "Hey, boss, I heard some good news. There's a good warehouse up for auction. I think you'll like it."
Li Du perked up and asked, "What warehouse?"
Lu Guan said, "You know about GSP, right? The warehouse this time is related to GSP, and it's located near Fort Davis. "
Li Du frowned and said, "GSP? I don't know the full name, but I do know the GPS. Are the two related? "
Lu Guan rolled his eyes. "Of course not. GSP is a GO-STAR-PARTYING, a star-studded gathering. Don't you like to watch the stars? I thought you knew about this kind of gathering. The spring GSP is going to be held soon, so I thought you'd like this auction. "
Li Du shook his head and asked, "What's this gathering for?"
"Everyone is going to watch the stars together," Lu Guan said concisely. "But not with the naked eye, but with a telescope, a large telescope," Lu Guan said concisely.
"The location of this warehouse auction is in Fort Davis, a small town warehouse. It's very small, but there may be very valuable professional telescopes in it, and we can participate in this year's GSP. What do you think? Do you want to go and have a look?"
Fort Davis was in the southwest of Texas, separated from Arizona by the state of New Mexico. It was quite a distance, so if they wanted to go to such a place to participate in the auction, they had to try their best to gain as much as possible.
