Happy Tycoon

Chapter 6: Suddenly appearing interface

   This attic really should have not been here for many years. After Yang Jing and Guo Xiaoxiang walked in, extremely clear footprints appeared on the ground.

   By the light from the glass window, the situation in 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 role of the attic, which is to hold some unnecessary things.

   These things that I don’t know how many years have been left are piled up in a mess, from the westernmost end of the attic to the entrance of the stairs at the east end of the attic. There are cardboard boxes and some wooden boxes, and most of them are items that don’t have any packaging. They are just thrown on the ground like this. Yang Jing even saw two small bookshelves in the attic, filled with all kinds of things. All kinds of dusty books.

  This situation made Guo Xiaoxiang couldn't help but take a breath, "Oh Maiga! I said Lao Yang, I really doubt whether we guys can pick up so many things in two days."

Yang Jing also smiled bitterly and shook his head, and said, "Tonight I will find a way to assemble a small spreader. When I pick up the equipment tomorrow, I will talk to the steward and see if I can set up the spreader at the window. Otherwise, Just pointing at the two of us to pick up these things from the stairs, it won't be finished in three days."

   Guo Xiaoxiang nodded and gestured to Yang Jing with a thumb.

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

Guo Xiaoxiang walked in front and Yang Jing walked behind. When passing a small bookshelf, Yang Jing stopped, took out a rag from his pocket, and wiped it on the dusty books. The head was revealed immediately.

"Wow, this is the 1963 version of "Pride and Prejudice", this is the 1960 version of "Anglo-Saxon Chronicles", this is the 1962 version of "History of England"..." Yang Jing drew out the basics from the bookshelf. I looked around and found that they were all books published or printed in the 1950s and 1960s.

   These books look very old on the surface, but after opening them, Yang Jing found that no one seemed to have read these books. Obviously, these books were probably bought by Baron William Vardy's father or grandfather to decorate the study, but it was not known who threw them in the attic.

   These books are old. After all, they were printed in the 1960s. Even if they are some popular books, they are somewhat valuable if they are sold out.

   This discovery made Yang Jing quite happy.

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

  , after all, are things used by the rich. These things are originally good things. Perhaps they are nothing to the rich, but they are still very good for ordinary people.

When they deal with the "garbage" that the rich people don’t want, they can find some pretty good things in it, and then pay the steward to buy these things, and they can make a lot of money in the flea market. The price difference.

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

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

   But the owner of that manor is so wealthy. That bike might be a small cloth bicycle bought for the child, and it was treated as garbage. Of course, Guo Xiaoxiang bought it from the manor housekeeper with money, but it was the eighty pounds that gave Guo Xiaoxiang seven hundred pounds of income.

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

  Of course, it’s not easy to bring out some high-value items that the owner has neglected. After all, if you want to take things out of it, you must go through the housekeeper or steward’s inspection and determine their value. However, those high-value items can't be brought out, but those items that are of high value to ordinary people but don't count as much in the eyes of the rich don't matter.

   These garbage handlers make money by pointing to this.

  You don’t need to find high-value waste products in this business, you only need to continuously find some valuable things.

   These books are obviously not very valuable, but profitable items. Since these books have been thrown here by the owner for more than fifty years, it is obvious that the owner doesn't care about these books. But if these books are sold at the flea market, they can definitely be sold at higher prices than new books.

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

   Yang Jing was about to tell Guo Xiaoxiang excitedly, suddenly felt that the little finger of his left hand became hot, as if a gust of heat had smoked him.

   The next moment, Yang Jing saw a transparent interface suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, which clearly showed the four-line character-"National Biography Dictionary", 1958 edition, published by Oxford University Press.

   The four-line transparent interface appeared so abrupt, that Yang Jing almost jumped in shock.

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

   Immediately, Yang Jing looked down at his left hand as if he was aware of something, and found that the big tome he had just held with his left hand had fallen to the ground.

   "What's going on?" Yang Jing muttered to himself, looked up again at Guo Xiaoxiang, who was walking to the entrance of the attic, forcibly pressed 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 had fallen on the ground again, but he was holding the book with his right hand, but nothing appeared.

   flipped through the book, and finally saw the publication date of the book on the back of the book. As expected, 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 "National Biography Dictionary".

   This set of books is an important reference book for biographies in the United Kingdom. It was originally called the "National Biography Dictionary". It was not until September 2004 that this set of books was renamed "Oxford Dictionary of National Biography", with a total of 60 volumes, and launched an online version. The content is updated in January, May and September every year.

   Since this set of books is in the 1958 edition, the name naturally retains the original old name.

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