Every now and then someone will let out cheers within the storehouse, which will attract some treasure pickers to run over to see who has caught what.

For treasure hunters, this auction is a harvest feast.

Of course, not every warehouse has good goods, and some people move everything out of the warehouse and classify it, and eventually find themselves losing money......

Li Du opened a warehouse, and the treasure pickers from Flagpole City surrounded him and asked, "What is this warehouse?" ”

The inside of the warehouse was full of things wrapped in old canvas, and Godzilla and Ooku tore them open, revealing some brown-yellow planks inside.

"A pile of planks." Ao said.

Dickens wondered, "Plank? Is this a precious Asian mahogany? Lee, is this Asian mahogany? ”

Li Du said: "No, they are not. ”

"And what is this?" Someone else asked.

Li Du patted the planks in the past, sniffed the smell again, and said with a smile: "If my observation is correct, they are cork boards, these are cork planks, and looking at the texture, they are used to pave the floor." ”

"Cork floors? Wow, you've made a lot of money this time. Ollie exclaimed.

Someone immediately asked, "Cork floors?" What is it? I haven't heard of it. ”

"It's really unheard." Ollie looked at the treasure picker with disdain, "Cork flooring, the best flooring, they not only have the high grade of solid wood, but also step on it, the floor can firmly support the human body, and it is slightly concave, between soft and hard, like stepping on a foam spliced mat......"

"Compared to floor mats, they are pure natural products, which are safer and more secure, and it doesn't matter if the baby rolls and runs on them, and he doesn't even have to worry about licking the floor directly......"

A group of treasure pickers had straight eyes and said enviously: "There are still such high-end goods? I've never heard of it. ”

Looking at the envious eyes of the treasure pickers, Li Du laughed, he pushed Ollie and said, "Stop, stop, don't lie to them, they take it seriously." ”

Karl was stunned and asked, "Isn't that so?" ”

Ollie laughed and said, "You're stupid, of course not, haven't you ever seen a cork floor, haven't you ever seen a cork on a wine?" Looking for a bottle of wine, you can find out what it is by pinching its cork? ”

"Are these the same thing?" The bearded Karl asked, "Lee, tell me I don't believe Ollie's bastard." ”

Li Du smiled and nodded: "Yes, cork flooring, like cork cork, comes from cork oak or cork oak - that is, the bark of oak trees. ”

Cork oak and cork oak is a relatively unique tree, as the saying goes, people are afraid of sad trees, and this kind of tree will grow a layer of cork bark outside the bark, this layer of bark does not affect the growth of the tree at all.

Cork is made from this cork, and in the past, wine corks were more elaborate, digging directly from the peeled bark.

But the bark is not peeled just as you want to peel, it needs a growth cycle, at least 20 to 30 years after the tree grows before the first harvest, and then every 9 years, if the peeling is not good, it will also hurt the tree.

In this way, with the increasing production of wine, there is not enough cork, so only high-end wines can still use this directly dug cork, and ordinary wines can only be glued with broken bark to make composite cork.

By analogy, laminate flooring is made by breaking wood and pressing wood chips and wood chips, while cork stoppers and cork flooring are crushed by breaking the bark.

Li Du read an introduction to this tree and red wine cork in National Geographic.

Portugal has the richest cork resources on the planet, and after the cork is peeled, they dig out high-end wine stoppers directly from the bark and break them up to make other cork products.

Red wine culture prevails in Europe and the United States, among which cork is also one of the cultures, rich people like to collect red wine, quite rich people like to collect red wine bottles, and generally rich people will collect cork corks for red wine.

Most cork stoppers on the market are not worth collecting, and most of them crack or fall wood chips just after drilling into the bottle opener, which is a composite cork.

A real high-quality cork stopper that can be cut into pieces, just like solid wood.

Now this cork stopper specializes in the supply of high-end red wine, to identify the quality of red wine, you can also see a one, two or three through the cork, you can use solid wood cork red wine, the texture will not be bad.

Since the supply of wine stoppers is not enough, the value of cork flooring is self-evident, and it will certainly not be low.

In the United States, an ordinary, real cork floor costs two or three hundred dollars per square meter, and even a 100-square-meter house is covered with cork floors, and the bare floor costs twenty or thirty thousand.

And this is still an ordinary cork floor, Li Du photographed that the floor in this warehouse is a rare solid cork floor, that is to say, they should be directly cut off to make a cork, and now it is made into a floor.

This kind of cork flooring is very expensive because it is one-piece, has better waterproof function, and has a more beautiful natural pattern.

In fact, the price difference between the two floors is very large, ten or even twenty times.

Li Du searched on the Internet, and particularly high-quality cork flooring can be sold for four or five thousand yuan per square meter, which is the first choice for rich people and celebrities to decorate their houses.

Most of the natural cork floors in this warehouse are not composite cork floors, each one is one or two meters long and half a meter wide, and there are more than 100 pieces, if you find the right buyer, you can sell for hundreds of thousands!

In addition to cork floors, there are other planks in the warehouse, which are very cheap.

The Border Authority should not know the value of these cork floors, they were seized and mixed with ordinary planks, and if they knew that these floors were so valuable, they would definitely not keep them for treasure hunters.

Treasure pickers have to make money from the warehouse, mainly by luck.

Of course, some luck misses.

For example, these floors, if Li Du didn't have the ability to reverse time and see the source and method, then he really didn't know the value of these floors, and would only dispose of them like ordinary floors.

His good fortune was not only there, but two more warehouses were opened, and two boxes of silver tableware were found inside, which together amounted to one or two hundred thousand, and precious animal skins, such as leopard skins, otter skins, crocodile skins, etc., which were also of high value.

The treasure pickers left enviously and began to clean up their warehouses.

When there was no one left, Li Du asked Ao and Godzilla to clean up a large warehouse with some abandoned cars, which he took pictures later and cost 100,000 dollars.

Originally, he thought that he could easily take this warehouse, but he didn't expect George to participate in the bidding, which made him spend a lot of extra money.

Luckily, he got the warehouse after all.
