Happy Tycoon

Chapter 6 The interface that suddenly appeared

It is true that no one has visited this attic floor for many years. After Yang Jing and Guo Xiaoxiang walked in, very clear footprints appeared on the ground.

With the light from the glass windows, the situation inside the attic can be seen clearly.

Although this floor is not the same as the attic in the ordinary sense, it is responsible for the duties of the attic, which is to hold some unnecessary things.

These things that have been placed for an unknown number of years are piled up in a mess, from the westernmost end of the attic to the doorway of the stairs at the east end of the attic. There are cardboard boxes and some wooden boxes, and more are some items without any packaging, just thrown on the ground in such a random way, Yang Jing even saw two small bookshelves in the attic, full of various kinds of bookshelves. All kinds of dusty books.

This situation made Guo Xiaoxiang gasp, Oh Maiga! I said Lao Yang, I really doubt if we two brothers can clean up so many things in two days.

Yang Jing also shook his head with a wry smile, and said: Tonight, I will find a way to assemble a small spreader, and when I tidy up tomorrow, I will talk to the manager to see if I can set up the spreader at the window position. Otherwise, if Just pointing the two of us to pack these things from the stairs, we can't finish it in three days.

Guo Xiaoxiang nodded and gestured a thumbs up to Yang Jing.

The two wandered around inside for a while, and after getting a general understanding of the things inside, they were ready to go out and prepare the tools for tomorrow. Some of the tools they usually use for cleaning are carried in the car, but such as the small spreader that Yang Jing just mentioned, they still need to buy some materials from the local store to assemble it tonight.

Guo Xiaoxiang walked in front, Yang Jing walked behind, when passing by a small bookshelf, Yang Jing stopped, took out a rag from his pocket, and wiped the dusty books, most of them were The head is immediately revealed.

Wow, this is the 1963 edition of Pride and Prejudice, this is the 1960 edition of Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, this is the 1962 edition of History of Britain... Yang Jing took it out from the bookshelf Basically, I looked at the tomes and found that they were all books published or printed in the 1950s and 1960s.

These books looked old on the surface, but after opening them, Yang Jing found that no one seemed to have read these books. Obviously, these books were estimated to have been bought by Baron William Vardy's father or grandfather to decorate the study, but no one knew who threw them in the attic.

These books are all old, after all, they were printed in the 1960s, even if they are some popular books, if they are sold outside, they are somewhat valuable.

This discovery made Yang Jing quite happy.

In their line of work, the daily salary given by the master is only a small part of the income, and the main income comes from the garbage that the master does not want.

After all, they are things used by rich people. These things were originally good things. Maybe they are nothing to those rich people, but they are still very good for ordinary people.

Garbage handlers like them often find some pretty good things when they deal with the garbage that the rich don't want, and then pay the manager to buy these things, and they can make a lot of money when they take them to the flea market price difference.

It's like when Guo Xiaoxiang was cleaning up a manor in Tonbridge when he first entered the industry, he found a bicycle in it. Guo Xiaoxiang bought the bicycle from the housekeeper for 80 pounds, but the bicycle was sold at the flea market for 700 pounds.

That bike was a Xiaobu folding bicycle, and it was a limited edition commemorative six-speed bike launched by Xiaobu Bicycle in 2000. You must know that an ordinary second-hand Xiaobu folding bicycle sells for more than 10,000 yuan in China. If this limited edition commemorative bike is new, it will cost more than 2,000 pounds even if it is bought in the UK.

But the owner of that manor is so rich and powerful, and that model may be a small cloth bicycle bought for a child, so it is disposed of as garbage. Of course, Guo Xiaoxiang bought it from the manor housekeeper with money, but it was the 80 pounds that Guo Xiaoxiang exchanged for 700 pounds of income.

Fatty's golf was bought with the proceeds from that time.

Of course, it is not so easy to bring out some items of high value that the owner has neglected. After all, if you want to bring things out from inside, you must go through the inspection of the housekeeper or steward and determine their value. However, those high-value items cannot be brought out, but those things that are relatively high in value to ordinary people but nothing in the eyes of the rich don't matter.

These garbage processors are pointing at this to make money.

To do this business, you don't need to find high-value discarded items, you just need to find some valuable things continuously.

These books obviously belong to the kind of items that are not very valuable, but profitable. Since these books have been thrown here by the master for more than fifty years, it is obvious that the master doesn't care about these books. But if these books are sold in the flea market, they can definitely sell for a higher price than new books.

If there are such books on both bookshelves, these books alone are enough to make Yang Jing and Guo Xiaoxiang a small fortune.

Excitedly, Yang Jing was about to tell Guo Xiaoxiang, when suddenly he felt the little finger of his left hand became hot, as if a wave of hot air had suffocated him.

The next moment, Yang Jing saw a transparent interface suddenly appearing in front of his eyes, on which four lines of characters were clearly displayed - Dictionary of National Biographies, 1958 edition, published by Oxford University Press.

Drawings of furniture, 1961, Pablo Picasso

This transparent interface with four lines of characters appeared so abruptly that Yang Jing almost jumped up in fright.

What-the-fu.ck! Yang Jing cursed in a low voice, and then the interface that appeared suddenly disappeared.

Immediately, Yang Jing seemed to realize something, looked down at his left hand, and found that the tome he was holding with his left hand just now had fallen to the ground.

What's going on here? Yang Jing muttered to himself, looked up at Guo Xiaoxiang who was about to walk to the door of the attic, forcibly suppressed the urge to stop the fat man, and lowered his head to think again.

After pondering for a while, Yang Jing tried to pick up the tome that fell on the ground again, but he held the book with his right hand, but nothing appeared.

Flipping through the book, I saw the publication date on the back of the book, and it was published by Oxford University Press in 1958.

As a student who has studied in the UK for two years, Yang Jing certainly knows this set of Dictionary of National Biography.

This set of books is an important biographical reference book in the UK. It was originally called the Dictionary of National Biographical Biography. The first edition was published as early as 1885, and it has been continuously updated since then. It was not until September 2004 that this set of books was renamed Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, a total of 60 volumes, and an online version was released, with content updated in January, May and September every year.

Since this set of books was published in 1958, the name naturally still maintains the original old name.

Seeing that the situation did not appear just now when touching the book with his right hand, Yang Jing tried to touch the book with his left hand again, and the result...
