MTL - America’s Treasure King-Chapter 22 area ratio
In the eastern United States at the end of February, the cold winds have subsided, the temperature is warming day by day, the trees are sprouting, the grass is green, and the scene is full of life.
In a large warehouse company in Jersey City, Li Xiaoshuai, who came to participate in the competition today, looked up at the sky, breathed in the air with the scent of flowers, and said, "The weather is so nice."
Although it is a regional competition, the rules of all warehouse auctions must be implemented, that is, all contestants must wait at the gate of the warehouse company.
But there are many more people waiting than before.
The branch presidents of each participating state are here. They are all experienced treasure hunters, and they are in charge of setting the price and winning or losing. There are also hired lighting engineers and videographers, as well as nearby treasure hunters who want to watch the fun.
The only benefit for out-of-town contestants is that they don't have to drive their big trucks all the way, but the local chapters pay to hire them for them.
Anyway, in a one-day, eight-person competition, Li Xiaoshuai is a local, and the New Jersey Treasure Picking Association only needs to hire seven cars, and it doesn't cost much.
Li Xiaoshuai waited for a while on the second floor. More and more people came to watch the battle outside the gate of the warehouse company. These people were all familiar to Li Xiaoshuai.
Ramos and his sons came, so did the Nelsons, and Landry, blah, blah, blah. . . . . .
Because it is self-entertainment in the industry, there are not many people on the scene to maintain order, and the scene is a bit messy and noisy.
Bob squeezed in from the crowd and pulled Li Xiaoshuai to the big iron gate of the warehouse, saying that he wanted the contestants to meet everyone and get to know each other.
Walking over, Li Xiaoshuai saw that there was a vacant lot in front of the gate, several people were standing in a row, and the cameraman was busy fiddling with the camera to prepare for shooting.
Bob pushed Li Xiaoshuai forward and said, "It's up to you next."
When Li Xiaoshuai stood up, a guy with a cow off his hat next to him asked, "A native of the Rabbit country?"
"Um."
"You're so young, can you?"
"My kung fu is very good, I can fight with my girlfriend from night to morning." Li Xiaoshuai said that the mountains and fog were covered.
Niu took off his hat and said with a smile, I didn't ask you about bed fights, I mean how good is your eye for picking treasures?
"A rookie who just entered the industry last year."
Hahaha, the other seven veteran treasure hunters laughed, and some of them were targeted; those who laughed deliberately were extravagant.
Others shouted at the crowd, "Look, New Jersey is empty. It's ridiculous to send a little rookie who just entered the industry last year."
Li Xiaoshuai's act of ignorance just now was premeditated for a long time, in order to paralyze these experienced veterans, and being able to win one game first would be very helpful for the next game.
In the crowd, some people really believed it.
The treasure hunter branch president of Connecticut, who was the first in the last session, said to his old friend Bob, it seems that the first place in this region should be our Connecticut state again.
"Not necessarily" Bob looked confident.
"It's not your turn to New Jersey either." It was Yannis, the president of the Massachusetts branch, who was the first in the previous session.
Bob said, "This is a dark horse in our New Jersey."
Yasini smiled and said, whether it is a dark horse or a black donkey, we will see the outcome at the end.
This time the auctioneer also came out. Today's auctioneer is an old man in his fifties. He is well-dressed and has shiny hair. Li Xiaoshuai has met several times, and he belongs to a familiar and unfamiliar friend.
Today, I have to part-time as the host of a small meeting. As soon as he came forward, the cameraman immediately started filming.
The auctioneer said in a cadenced tone: "Welcome, gentlemen, to the Steam Engine Warehouse Company. Today is the new Northeast Regional Competition for Treasure Pickers. First, ask the eight treasure pickers to report their names and get acquainted with everyone."
From left to right, Li Xiaoshuai is in the last row.
First to name themselves: Mario of New York, followed by Oleg of Connecticut. As soon as this guy came on stage, he also ranted, saying that they were the first in the region in the previous session, and this session will be the same.
This kind of remark was said in New Jersey, and of course it was booed a lot.
Behind Rob in Rhode Island, Victor in Massachusetts, Antonio in Vermont. Among them, Victor was also very arrogant. He also said that he had to win the first place today.
"Hush" in response to him, of course, is still booing.
Then there is David of Maine, which is close to Canada, Louise of New Hampshire, which also borders Canada, and finally Li Xiaoshuai of New Jersey, who is fighting on the homeland.
As soon as he appeared on the field, of course, a large number of people came to watch the game. New Jersey treasure hunters were very enthusiastic, and Li Xiaoshuai also waved his thanks.
"Made, this cameraman is always taking pictures of my face, and the muscles on my face are sore from laughing." Li Xiaoshuai didn't understand at first.
After waiting for a while, he realized that it was the cameraman who saw that he was young and gave him a few close-ups.
However, on an occasion like today, Li Xiaoshuai felt that the cameraman was taking a picture of him, which was underestimating himself. He smiled and said, "It's okay, UU reading www.uukanshu.com will prove in the end that young people are still full of vigor."
"Laugh now, I'll cry later" Li Xiaoshuai took a step forward, and I don't know who said the words from behind.
When returning to the queue, Li Xiaoshuai also wanted to fight back. He said, "Yes, it must not be me who is crying."
"Okay, let's welcome the eight excellent treasure pickers to enter." Following the auctioneer's words, the big iron gate of the warehouse company was opened, and the eight treasure pickers and their assistants entered at the same time.
Because today is a competition, non-participants naturally cannot bid.
Everyone walked to the door of a warehouse labeled 17. The auctioneer said that there would be 12 warehouses for auction today. In order to show fairness, all warehouses in this competition have implemented the method of opening one and taking one.
Li Xiaoshuai began to mutter in his heart again, this auction method may be difficult for others, but it is useless in front of my clairvoyant ability.
The auctioneer went on to say that today we still have to use bank transfers, understand?
Bo Yang also asked, how has it changed today, is the warehouse company willing to let the tax bureau take away a large amount of profits?
Frank asked with a smile, did you see the cameraman?
"Oh" Bo Yang finally realized that he had been filmed, and there was no way to evade taxes.
After the auctioneer's chatter about the rules, the auction officially started.
The rolling shutter door of the "Wah La" warehouse was opened, and all the contestants' eyes were focused on it, and the beams of strong flashlights were intertwined and strafed inward.
When Li Xiaoshuai and Frank watched, they were deliberately pushed, as if trying to squeeze them out. He secretly laughed in his heart, what's the point of using this kind of pediatric trick, can you squeeze out the other seven competitors?
