Chapter 1382 Old Photo (1/2)

Li Du visited the warehouse first. He had a hunch that there would not be anything valuable in the office. Naturally, the worthy items in the office must have been cleared out before the owners declared bankruptcy.

Perhaps the warehouse of the studio has undergone a round of clean-up too. However, it has been used as a storage space for half a century. There would inevitably be some valuable items left.

In all those years, the studio had only moved once. Hence, most of the items in the warehouse were in good condition.

The warehouse lot was located not far from the insurance company building. The area encompassed less than 500 meters and the place was old. It looked neglected and one could tell that it must have been there for some time.

Li Du did a quick scan and found that there were many warehouses, at least one hundred of them.

Lu Guan said, ”The warehouse that belongs to the studio is number 24. The rest of the warehouses belong to other companies.”

Perhaps due to the confusion surrounding the ownership of the warehouses, there was no wall barrier like in other warehouse companies. The place adopted an open-space concept, making it easy for Li Du to enter.

Looking at the warehouse map that Lu Guan had given him, Li Du managed to find the warehouse lot belonging to the studio. It included one small warehouse, four other mid-sized warehouses, and two big ones.

The little bug first entered the big warehouse. There were some desks, chairs and office furniture. The items were placed randomly, which gave Li Du some strong hopes.

In a bankruptcy auction, bumping into neat warehouses was a bad thing. That would be a sign that someone had already tidied up the place and it would be unlikely that anything worth taking was left behind.

However, a messy warehouse didn't guarantee any valuable finds either. The two little bugs made their rounds inside, one of the left and one on the right. From time to time, they would cross paths.

In the end, after expending so much effort, Li Du found nothing.

”What a waste of time,” he shook his head.

However, he did not hold high hopes for this auction, to begin with. It was just that he felt bored on vacation and decided to find something to do.

The second big-sized warehouse was just as messy. The things inside were similar – chairs, tables, photography racks and other tools. One could tell that in half a century's time, the office had eliminated quite a lot of tools.

The old furniture was all pretty valuable. In America, vintage furniture was gaining popularity. However, the furniture in the warehouse was not in perfect condition and did not come in sets. It would have to be fixed, lowering its overall value. Li Du did not want to spend so much effort to earn such a small amount of money.

As he did not make any discoveries in the big-sized warehouses, his expectations from the mid-sized warehouses dipped as well. The little bug entered for a look and Li Du was afraid he's just wasting time and energy.

There were some cameras and other discarded tools. Unfortunately, they were all damaged beyond repair. There would be no way to fix them.

Seeing that the warehouse was filled with such rubbish, Li Du scowled. D*mn, is that a studio warehouse or a rubbish dump? How could the things there all be in such a bad condition?

Besides, none of those items had much time capability. That was strange because those cameras must have been used a lot in their time and were supposed to possess some time capability.

However, there was nothing interesting inside. The little bugs found nothing to attract them.

Li Du thought about it for a moment. Perhaps only art pieces could retain time capability. Things like cameras and old tables and chairs belonged to the category of tools. Hence, the little bugs were uninterested.

Li Du was not sure how precise this was. It was only his guess.

There were some valuable items in one of the mid-sized warehouses. However, Li Du deduced that he would not be able to make money from them. That was because the warehouse was uncovered. Everything in the warehouse was exposed and anyone could see it. While bidding, everyone would see exactly what they were set out to gain and the profit margin would not be high.
