Chapter 1299 1283. Buy All (45)

After listening to the introduction, Wang Bo knew the source of these books.

No wonder these books are sold cheaply. It turns out that they are all books purchased by the government on International Book Day for renting out.

Once the emperor and the courtiers, after the new leadership came to power, some policies have also changed. These books are no longer kept for rent, but sold for cash, and the money is used for other things.

"It is said that the new prime minister has set up a support plan for orphans. We need to find support funds from various sources. Isn't it ridiculous to sell these books as useless books?" When it came to the end, the manager of the warehouse company asked with a smile.

Wang Bo shrugged and said: "Books are not useless. They are bought by suitable buyers. Since people are willing to buy them, they must use them. Besides, these books are old books, and they can be sold to make money. For some money, the government’s plan is not bad.”

The warehouse manager shook his head and said, "A lot of the books inside are like new ones. It's really annoying to sell them so cheaply. Knowledge shouldn't be so cheap."

Wang Bo pouted, don't pretend that he doesn't know the warehouse manager's plan, this guy is trying to use these words to stimulate him and make him make up his mind to buy.

After going around the warehouse twice, he knew that the manager was not telling the truth.

There may be books purchased by the government during the Book Festival and leased to citizens, but there must be a considerable number of them that are not, because some books are badly worn.

The quality of New Zealanders may not be high enough to love books like life, but if they make the borrowed books so damaged, they will definitely not be able to return them, and they will have to pay for new compensation.

Then he guessed that many of the books in it were collected from the garbage station.

It’s not surprising that there are books in the garbage station, isn’t it? New Zealand does not have a waste collection industry. The garbage at home needs to be disposed of and sent to a special place.

For example, if someone buys new furniture at home, the old furniture must be disposed of and stored in the warehouse first instead of being thrown away, especially large parts.

Small rubbish is fine, the trash can can accommodate it, if it cannot be accommodated in the trash can, then according to the relevant government regulations, these have to wait until the annual garbage disposal day before they can be discarded.

Different areas have different days for waste disposal. If there is not enough space for disposal, you have to take it to the treatment plant yourself. Not only will you have to pay for the road, but you will also have to pay for the treatment, which is very expensive.

Of course, there are many second-hand stores in New Zealand, but second-hand stores are still different from Chinese waste collection stations.

Waste collection stations cost money to buy waste products, while second-hand stores never spend money to help people dispose of these waste products, and they will not dispose of them casually, only helping to dispose of what may be sold.

In this case, according to the thinking of the Chinese, since my things can be sold, why give them to second-hand stores for free?

There are many reasons, mainly two points. The first point is that ordinary people have no conditions to dispose of waste products at home, so they can’t open the warehouse every day to sell them out, right?

The second point is that in New Zealand, giving things you don't need to second-hand stores is considered charity. Many second-hand stores are directly linked to charitable foundations, and some are run by churches, all of which are semi-charitable organizations.

There are also a lot of books in the garbage station, because second-hand stores are not very interested in books. New Zealanders have encountered a reading shortage in recent years, and people are becoming less and less interested in paper books, so books in second-hand stores are not easy to sell.

Wang Bo made such a guess, so he naturally refused to purchase at the price given by the warehouse company.

But I can’t do without buying. The warehouse company has advertised on the Internet and in newspapers, and there are quite a few people who come to buy books.

Of course, these people have different goals from Wang Bo. So many books are sold at low prices, and there are always some valuable books or even antique books in them.

The history of New Zealand is only a few hundred years old, so books of several decades are classified as antiques. Some of them can be sold for a good price outside, and there are always people who will collect books.

After wandering around, Wang Bo asked Hani and the others: "How about it? I bought these books and put them in the library. Is it okay?"

Hani nodded and said, "No problem, most of them are new books, and there are quite a few dirty books."

After getting this answer, Lao Wang had a clue. He went to the warehouse manager and asked, "If we buy all the books and don't pick or pick them up, how much is the minimum?"

"Two million yuan, sir." The manager smiled.

Wang Bo winked at Hani, who raised a finger and said, "How about a million?"

The manager shook his head like a rattle: "Sorry, the price is too low, we can't accept it."

Haney said: "Don't jump to conclusions. Just because you can't accept it doesn't mean the government can't accept it. It's a government book, isn't it? Why don't you go back and discuss it with your leaders, it's a fair price."

The manager insisted: "I can be responsible for the sales of these books, one million is absolutely not, one million nine million is the minimum price."

"I don't want to treat buying books as buying vegetables, because knowledge is priceless. I hope we can respect knowledge and not treat it as ordinary goods. So stop bargaining, one and a half million, this is our reserve price!" Haney Said.

Just as the manager was about to speak, Atulu stopped him and said, "Think about it, buddy, if you are so picky about these books, how many years will you have to sell them? How much is the warehouse retention fee?"

Haney also said: "If you end up with a huge pile of books, what do you do with them? Throw them away? Send them to the dump? Shred them into pulp? No matter what you do with them, there will be a media report about it at that time - there will be bids. You don’t sell it when you buy it, and then dispose of it as garbage.”

After repeated bombings, the manager finally wavered and said, "1.5 million is too low, 1.6 million, this is the real base price."

Hani looked at Wang Bo, who thought about it and nodded, the price is acceptable.

Seeing this, the manager whistled and said to the security guards at the door: "Close the door and take everyone away. These books already have owners."

Some book pickers were very dissatisfied: "Didn't you just advertise? Why didn't you sell it?"

"We came from Robriel, do you know how far it is?"

"Are we kidding? Is this false advertising?"

The manager was very cunning, so he used Wang Bo as a shield, and said: "This gentleman has already bought all the books, and the bid is 1.6 million yuan. If anyone is willing to pay a higher price, let alone pick books here." , we can give him all the books."

There were boos everywhere, many voices were directed at Wang Bo, but he didn't care, and went straight out, leaving Charlie here to make the delivery with the warehouse company.

These books can't be sent directly to the library when they are bought. Some books are so dirty that he has to hire people to clean them, but even if he hires a hundred people to do this, it's much cheaper to buy new books.
