Chapter 934 Shellac Records

Zhang Heng didn't argue with the old man.

He removed the barrel of the gun and took a look and found that there was no bullet inside, so he returned the shotgun to the other party. Then he picked up the things he had put on the ground before and followed the old man into his shop.

"Where do you put things?"

"Well, just find a place to put it. I'll clean it up later." The old man's attitude improved a lot after being pointed at the gun.

So Zhang Heng put the pile of things in his hand on the table beside him, and then looked around. The House of Old Things is really a concentration camp for old things. Basically, the products here are of many years old, starting from a century ago. There are everything from mega routers to old teapots, stamps, commemorative coins, and even a range hood. Of course, the most popular items in the store are books. Various paper books and many old newspapers are all carefully collected.

It also makes it look a bit like a library.

However, Zhang Heng's eyes finally fell on a car model, and he asked with a look on his face, "How to sell that?"

The old man looked in the direction of Zhang Heng's finger, "Oh, this is an early building block toy. It was made by the first toy companies that produced building blocks. It was once popular, but the building blocks at that time were just simple building blocks, not so... It is multi-functional. Later, other manufacturers produced smarter gadgets and the company blindly transformed itself. Finally, it went bankrupt due to poor management. I finally received this one. It is of great commemorative value. I have to sell it no matter what. Just 800 credits.”

"It's too expensive." While bargaining, Zhang Heng walked to the car model, picked it up and looked at it carefully. He found the familiar LEGO logo on the bumps of the parts, and Zhang Heng felt relieved. , he was originally worried that the LEGO Company had not appeared due to changes in the world line or other reasons.

In this case, the [Infinite Building Block] he carried with him would be useless again.

But now that he has this Lego model car, he can activate this B-level prop on his body, and the [Infinite Building Blocks] itself is also the most suitable prop for dealing with complex environments.

"Good things are never cheap." The old man said, and then he frowned, "Did you come to my store just to buy building blocks to play with?"

"No, I also want to inquire about the whereabouts of the shellac records." Zhang Heng said, "The owner of an audio equipment store told me that I can come to your place to try my luck."

"Then you really have come to the right place." The old man said, "Few people know about shellac records now. This is an audio medium born at the beginning of the last century. It is secreted by lac insects after sucking leaves. The purple natural resin was used as raw material, and records made by adding clay, cotton fiber and other mixtures dominated the market until the end of World War II. However, due to the Japanese invasion of the origin of the material, vinyl records were With the advent of , this kind of record was quickly eliminated. Of course, not long after that, vinyl records were also eliminated by CD, and then came various formats of digital audio.

"It is said that there are still some small factories on the earth producing CDs and vinyl records to meet a small amount of demand, but shellac records... no one produces them anymore, which makes them very rare. To be honest, this kind of The thing itself is not very suitable for storing audio. You can only listen to a record for a few minutes, and the sound is not preserved well. Why are you interested in shellac records?"

"People have to find new hobbies for themselves from time to time," Zhang Heng said, "So do you have shellac records here?"

"Ha," the old man snorted, but did not answer immediately. He crossed his hands on his chest and looked at Zhang Heng, "You even have to bargain for the building blocks. I don't think you can afford the price I want. I How do I know that if I take out the shellac record, you won't grab it and run away like those two little bastards?"

"Because the quantity I want is quite large, I would rather make a long-term deal with you than just grab a handful and leave." Zhang Heng said, "You seem to have many channels to collect these old things. I want the entire New Shanghai to do so." Bought all the 0297 shellac records.”

"This is impossible. Do you know how much this costs? Besides, this is not just a matter of money." The old man shook his head as if he had heard a joke.

"It doesn't matter, I have plenty of time, we can take our time." Zhang Heng said.

"Oh, I wouldn't be so sure if I were you." The old man said, "But for the sake of helping me get my things back, I can indeed sell you a few shellac records." He didn't even blink. He reported a number, "Three thousand, one credit for three thousand."

"One hundred." Zhang Heng also didn't blink.

"Are you here to stir up trouble?" the old man said angrily.

"You were the one who started it," Zhang Heng said, "You also said that not many people know about shellac records these days, and even fewer collect them. If I'm not wrong, your shellac records won't be sold at all. , why not wholesale it to me at a cheaper price."

"What do you know! You don't know the value of these old things at all. For one hundred credits, I might as well take it to the grave and listen to it myself."

"But you don't want me to keep thinking about digging your grave." Zhang Heng said.

The old man was completely angry and laughed, but then he seemed to think of something, and the anger on his face subsided a little, "You are right, no one will want those shellac records except you, I can sell them at a low price You, it’s not impossible to even give it to you directly.”

"But?" Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows.

"But you also have to provide me with something I need in exchange."

"what do you need?"

"Although you are dressed very flashy, your skills are surprisingly good. I want you to be my bodyguard and accompany me to meet someone. He lives on the first floor. That place is not very safe, especially if I go alone. .”

"I'm afraid this will have to be postponed, because I just took a bodyguard job and it will take two weeks to protect you." Zhang Heng said.

"No, I don't need you to protect me all the time. I just asked you to accompany me to meet someone." The old man said, "Can you spare some time? It only takes four or five hours."

"If that's the case, there's no problem."

Xu Qian has live broadcasts every day, especially at night, which usually last until twelve o'clock. According to the previous agreement between the two, Zhang Heng only needs to be able to get back to his place of residence before twelve o'clock.

"Wait." After getting Zhang Heng's reply, the old man turned around and walked to the bookshelf on one side. He pulled out an iron box from the side, opened it, took out a paper bag, and handed it to Zhang Heng.

Zhang Heng already knew what was inside without opening the paper bag, because the system beep told him that he had found a shellac record and received 10 points.
