MTL - America’s Treasure King-Chapter 6 First See Warehouse Auction
Standing in front of warehouse 11, the auctioneer said, "Warehouse 11, who wants $5?"
Seeing that everyone was not interested, the auctioneer immediately lowered the price, $4, $3, all the way down to $1, and everyone still sold.
"Okay, the 11th pass."
After recording the news in the notebook, the auctioneer took people to warehouse No. 28, which is the warehouse with several household appliances.
Auctioneer: "Warehouse 28, $50."
Frank immediately raised his hand, and the auctioneer shouted, "Have you got $50, do you have $55?"
This time it was a pair of people who looked like husband and wife raised their hands.
"Do you have $60, 60; 60; 60, if you have a bid, hurry up."
A black man also raised his hand, and the price immediately became $65. . . . . . . . It finally climbed all the way up to $300 and was photographed by the husband and wife team.
The man took out a large lock and locked the rolling shutter door of the warehouse. It seemed that he wanted to participate in the next auction.
The black people who were not photographed also cursed viciously: "I wish you and your husband a loss of blood."
"Bah" the wife immediately became furious.
Li Xiaoshuai also asked Frank, why didn't he pay for the warehouse?
Frank said that the payment would have to wait until all the warehouses were closed and the unified start would begin. In case anyone still wants to bid, isn't it a missed opportunity?
"Oh" Li Xiaoshuai thought about it too. Without bidders, the price would not go up.
There are two warehouses left, No. 71; No. 77.
No. 71 is a carpenter's workshop. The auctioneer continued his deadpan asking price: "$100 for size 71."
Everyone was raising their hands, maybe because they saw more people raising their hands, the auctioneer raised the price to $150, and many people were raising their hands, including Frank.
When the price rose to $500, only half of the bidders still dared to bid.
At $1,000, all that was left to bid was Frank, a team of three blacks, and a pair of two Mexicans.
Today's Li Xiaoshuai is not completely ignorant of the second-hand business. According to the price he knows, the 80% new saw belt planer in this warehouse can be sold for $1,500.
The unpainted cabinet can also sell for about 150, and a set of woodworking tools in the box that has not been found can be sold for $300.
There are also several unopened barrels of paint, which add up to his wages. There are also a few logs, which can be sold for 100 yuan.
That said, as long as the price is under $1,500, Frank is still making money.
At $1,150, the Mexican partner glared at Frank before quitting. Now, only Frank and three black teams are still bidding.
Li Xiaoshuai was afraid that Frank would also give up, so he pretended to be Xiaobai and encouraged him loudly: "Come on Frank, you can't come here for nothing."
But it amused many people watching the fun.
They also said sarcastically, "Frank, your new partner wants you to be bolder."
"$1,200" Li Xiaoshuai saw that Frank also shouted the price through gritted teeth.
The lead of the three blacks said, well, I'll quit too.
If it was sold for $1,500, Frank would have earned about $400. Now the price at the auction is less than what Li Xiaoshuai had estimated, which means that Frank could earn an extra $300 this time, that is, he could earn $700.
After photographing the warehouse, Frank quickly took out a big copper lock from his pocket and locked the door of the warehouse. He followed the army again. It seemed that he had not had enough of filming.
The last one, No. 77, is up for auction again. This warehouse is kitchen equipment.
The auctioneer's bid was still $100, and a large piece was still raised, and the price immediately rose to $200.
Now some people are dissatisfied, complaining that the auctioneer has increased the price too fast.
He didn't know the auctioneer wasn't easy to mess with, he said rudely, "Stay what you want to buy, and get out of here if you think it's too expensive."
"Is there any $200?"
. . . . . .
With the price up to $1,000, Li Xiaoshuai guesses that all the people who want to bid on the auction are wanting to bet on a wine box. As for those old electric ovens, plates and bowls, it's not like $1,000 at all.
Others are gambling, but Li Xiaoshuai has a see-through eye. He can see clearly that there is no good wine in those wine boxes.
Taking advantage of the lack of attention, Li Xiaoshuai also used his eyes to signal him to stop bidding. It's better to accept it when you see it. Don't make money here, and then subsidize it there.
Li Xiaoshuai's original intention was to repay Frank for bringing him here, but he still held his hand high.
At $1,500, his hands weren't down.
Li Xiaoshuai can only shake his head without saying a word, thinking in his heart that this can't save you, if it really loses money, at most I don't need my salary today, and I can't help you with anything else.
You can't let me tell you about the power of clairvoyance, that's impossible.
Fortunately, when the price reached $1,800, Frank withdrew. Li Xiaoshuai reckoned that his retreat was not because he saw his own hint, but because he didn't have that many dollars in his pocket.
In the end, the warehouse was sold by three black men for $1,850.
Followed Frank to the warehouse company's manager's room to hand over the money, returned to warehouse No. 71, and opened the big lock. Frank first lifted the tarpaulin covering the machine.
"Ha, this is a new machine" Frank almost jumped up with joy.
A treasure hunter outside who had not left also heard the news. He looked at the machine. The paint and everything looked the same as new. When he looked at the nameplate on the machine, it was only a few years old.
They all said sourly that Frank had bad luck today, and he actually started to make money.
Which posture, as if Frank should not make money.
Li Xiaoshuai pretended to be reckless and took a few more steps in. He also shouted, "There are hand tools in Frank's box."
Frank ran over to take a look, didn't he, there were brand new chisels, planes, axes; squares and other tools in the box.
"Haha, unexpected joy." Frank hugged Li Xiaoshuai and said, "Li, you brought me good luck today, I'm so happy."
Frank asked Li Xiaoshuai to tidy up in the warehouse, drive the pickup by himself, and then ask someone to help move the machine, move things, clean, and bag garbage.
When the two of them cleaned up the warehouse and were about to return, Frank in a good mood asked another acquaintance, "Did those three **** make any money?"
The man replied that, unfortunately, there was no good wine in the wine box at all, but ordinary olive oil and table salt.
After driving, Frank said with a proud look, the three **** will lose at least five or six hundred dollars this time, I see how they laugh at me.
He said to Li Xiaoshuai again: "Li, you are a very stable person, and you hinted to me just now, but I have seen it all."
"Then why are you continuing to shoot?"
"I was blinded by greed, and like the three niggas, I wanted to make a lot of money. God bless me, I just happened to have no money at that time, or I would lose money."
Li Xiaoshuai half-truth asked Frank, how about his character to be a professional treasure hunter?
"real or fake?"
"Really, I have always wanted to be a professional treasure hunter, but today I just want to join it even more." Li Xiaoshuai said very solemnly.
"No, no, my friend, it's not really fun," Frank objected strongly this time.
Li Xiaoshuai also said, when you came in the morning, you didn't say how much you earned on that day, how much you earned on that day, I was jealous and envied your big profits.
"Uh" Frank was choked.
He thought about it for a long time before he said, since you want to join, I suggest you follow me to get acquainted first, if you want to bid, use my name.
But if there is a warehouse that you and I like, then you have to give it to me, because I am a professional, you are still a rookie during the internship, and you have to register as a professional treasure hunter.
Today, Li Xiaoshuai has learned a lot of practical experience and earned $120. He is very happy.
