Chapter 1051 Big Clien (1/2)

The collection culture in America was unique worldwide. Since the country had a short

history, they did not have anything like antiques or artifacts. Thus, their collection culture

was more applicable to their modern lives.

Comic collection was one very important branch in the American collectors' world.

Everyone knew that the otaku (nerd) culture was well-developed in Japan, but the

American otaku culture was very advanced as well.

Moreover, not only nerds collected comic books in America. A few generations of

Americans had grown up on comic books, and it was part of their culture.

For example, in the famous American drama series 'Big Bang', there were many comic

books, garage kits, and peripheral products shown on screen, as the four male leads in

the drama were comic lovers.

Li Du had come across this type of collection culture before, so he understood how

much Americans loved their comics. Yet it was shocking that a comic book could be

sold for over a million dollars!

Hans looked through the comic books, searching for those that might be worth a lot.

They had gotten quite a number of comics that were worth some money among all the

old books. Apart from the few that were worth millions, there were some worth a few

hundred, a few thousand, or even up to ten thousand dollars.

These comics could be auctioned on eBay, but the most expensive ones required a

different approach. They had to look for comic enthusiasts to take over.

Li Du and Hans thought of the same person at the same time - Pastorife Porter, a rich

young man whose background was unknown. This man loved collecting everything

related to the otaku culture.

The two men felt a little depressed as they thought about him. ”If we had known, we

wouldn't have left Los Angeles!”

Hans called Porter on the phone, and after he hung up, Li Du asked, ”How was it? Is he

interested?”

”Of course, this fella is very interested,” Hans said optimistically. ”And there's another

piece of good news for you. We don't have to be upset. Although we didn't find out how

valuable these comic books are back in Los Angeles, it's no big deal.”

Li Du asked, ”What do you mean, no big deal?”

Hans said, ”Porter isn't in Los Angeles, he's in Miami. So it wouldn't have mattered

whether we had discovered the value of these comics bin Los Angeles or in Phoenix.

We would still have to take a flight to deliver them.”

A business deal that was worth up to a million dollars could not wait any longer. They

only stayed for a day before buying another ticket to fly over to Miami.

Miami was located in the southeastern state of Florida, the famous land of sunshine.

The first thing that became famous in Florida was not its beaches, coconut trees, or

pretty ladies in luxury cars, but the 'Eternal Fountains'.

In the year 1513, the Spanish explorer Ponce de León received orders to search for the

fountain of crystal that could make people immortal, and so he arrived at the Florida

peninsula.

Some more Spanish explorers arrived after him. They didn't find the fountain of crystal,

so they decided to look for gold instead, but of course, there was none.

From that time onwards, Florida began to gain worldwide recognition globally, even

though it began with a tragedy.

There were quite a few native tribes living in Florida before the Europeans came. The

native residents had lived there for eleven thousand years before the Spaniards arrived.

After the Spanish colonists took over, the indigenous people had nearly all died out

within two centuries.

The Spanish had brought war, killings, and diseases with them.

In the 18th century, Spain and England had begun a war to fight for Florida. They both

wanted to take over this piece of the new world, but in the end, it became part of the

United States.

In the year 1845, it was announced that Florida was joining the United States of
