Chapter 38 38. The Smart and the Stupid
It was so dangerous that Li Du almost overslept again.
The most valuable thing in this auction was the first warehouse, No. 4, and he hurriedly urged Hans to drive fast to kill it.
Hans likes this kind of command, stepping on the accelerator is like stepping on a cigarette butt, and he keeps grinding and grinding. The Ford F150 really opened up like a raptor, and it was only about to fly.
They went out at 8:50, and arrived at the gate of the warehouse company at 9:20, the speed can be described as lightning.
The auction started at 9:30, Hans went to register information, and Li Du bought some breakfast, and when they met, they could line up to visit the warehouse.
Hans chewed on the bacon sandwich and said vaguely, "Damn it, there are only three warehouses for auction, No. 4, No. 26 and No. 50."
Li Du was taken aback, and asked without thinking about breakfast, "Where is number seven?"
"The lease of No. 7 has been renewed." Hans was still gobbling.
Li Du was in no mood to eat anymore, and the antique gun flew away.
Fortunately, there is also the consolation prize of Warehouse No. 4. After seeing it, he said to Hans: "It is definitely valuable to win this warehouse."
Hanston came to his senses and said, "Look at me."
The auction price of this kind of warehouse for private long-term use is relatively high, because the customers it targets are the middle class. These warehouses are equivalent to storage rooms, and the possibility of good things in them is relatively high.
The auctioneer was still the quick-talking little old man. He was still wearing a cowboy hat. After everyone had finished their visit, he raised his hand and began to bid: "The auction has officially started. Guys, everyone knows the rules. I won't say much about this warehouse." The price is five hundred five hundred five hundred!"
This price is not low. Ordinary warehouses usually start at a few dozen yuan, and it is relatively rare to reach a hundred yuan. After all, Flagstaff City is a small place.
Sure enough, someone complained: "The price is too outrageous, five hundred yuan? Go and play!"
Hans booed: "Five hundred yuan, usually you can buy five good warehouses here."
The old man smiled and said: "Everyone knows that Phoenix Classics sells good products. Guys, stop talking nonsense. If you want to play, go ahead and let me see that you don't want to spend money and go home first. Stay here and get exposed to the wind and the sun." uncomfortable!"
After all, someone still raised their hand to make an offer, and seeing this, the old man quickly raised the price to 550 yuan.
Hans bid at this time, he raised his hand to show his number plate, the old man pointed at him and raised the price to 600 yuan.
"OK!" Someone asked the price again.
Hans deliberately looked at the man and said, "Dalton, my buddy, do you want to fight with me? Are you sure? Fight with me, the arrogant boss Fu?"
Dalton smiled and said, "Come on, and talk like you've become Hitler."
Hans was like a fighting bull, and suddenly showed an angry expression: "Very well, then I will take it, seven hundred yuan!"
Dalton raised his hand calmly: "A thousand dollars!"
Seeing this, the crowd immediately booed, which meant watching the excitement.
The old man was very happy: "One thousand, one thousand, one thousand, yes, ten Franklin bills came out, someone is willing to exchange this warehouse with ten Franklins, so is there anyone who can offer a higher price? I want 1,100 now. !"
Hans raised his hand and said, "Me!"
The old man nodded cheerfully and looked at Dalton: "Young man, your opponent has already launched a charge. This guy offered 1,100 yuan, yes, 1,100 yuan. Are you willing to accept 1,200 yuan, a brave young man?"
Dalton shook his head and said, "I don't accept it."
"What?" Hans showed a surprised expression.
The booing was quickly suppressed by the laughter, and someone came to hug Hans and laughed loudly: "Boss Fu, you have been tricked by this kid, slippery Dalton, this nickname is not fake!"
The others didn't make an offer either, obviously it wasn't reasonable for them to buy a warehouse with an unknown future for a thousand bucks.
Hans showed an annoyed expression, and the old man quickly shouted 'one thousand yuan' three times, then pointed at him and said, "Very well, my dear Boss Fu, this warehouse belongs to you, let's go to No. 26 next!"
The crowd laughed and walked away, and Dalton was surrounded at the front. Obviously, his behavior of designing Hans just now was regarded as a brilliant move by everyone, so people thought he was a powerful person.
When there was no one in front of the warehouse, Li Du and Hans clapped their hands, laughed and said, "Good job, Oscar winner Fu!"
Hans shrugged his shoulders and said, "I am the king of treasure hunting across Phoenix. These country bumpkins want to fight me? That's really whimsical!"
Li Du thought it was worth buying this warehouse for 1,000 yuan, because there are only three warehouses to be auctioned today, and no one wants to leave empty-handed, so if he hadn't cleverly used Dalton to 'set a trap' earlier, he would have taken it This warehouse is very laborious.
Especially once there are too many quotations, people realize that they are determined to win this warehouse, and the price will be even more difficult to control.
The two warehouses at the back were full of groceries, which were of no value. Li Du didn't bother to take pictures, so he shook his head and left after looking at them.
Hans now trusts him unconditionally, so he came back to clean up the No. 4 warehouse.
While moving the cardboard box out, he muttered: "Gun box, gun box, gun box, let me see the gun box! Where is the antique gun? Come out with the antique gun..."
Li Du opened a box, and there were four fluffy dolls inside, which were Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
He took it out and threw it out, Ah Miao suddenly became interested, and ran to collect them one by one, Li Du threw them out again, and it went to collect them again.
Finally, Hans discovered the IPONE generation mobile phone. He opened it and burst out laughing: "Li, you really have eyes like an X-ray machine. Come and see what I found? The first generation of Apple cell phone!"
Li Du asked cooperatively: "Is it worth money? Now the latest generation is only a few hundred yuan?"
Hans carefully took out his mobile phone and said, "Yes, the latest generation only costs five or six hundred yuan, and this mobile phone is a brick compared to the new generation IPONE!"
"The 2G network is as slow as a spotted turtle, without any APP, and does not support multitasking and Bluetooth transmission. It can be said that any 500-yuan mobile phone on the market at that time was much better than it."
"But man, many presidents have done better than HSD, but this does not prevent the status of the great HSD on President Hill, because he is the pioneer! The creator of a new era!"
The blazing sun shone on this long-outdated mobile phone, exuding a glass-like luster.
Hans looked at it fascinated, as if looking at a gold brick: "It's so well preserved, so good. If it can be used, then man, I bet it can sell for 20,000 yuan!"
Li Du said: "Then what are you waiting for, let's try charging and turning it on."
Hans shook his head and said, "Don't worry, just pack up these things first."
There is nothing very valuable left in the warehouse, but there are still quite a few that can be sold for money.
Li Du found four brand-new tires from under the shelf. Hans removed the wooden shelf and found an anti-theft door that hadn't been disassembled from the back. These were all money.
Because they had time, they sent the garbage to the processing plant. Of course, they only paid a few dozen dollars to buy off the old porter. Hans was very familiar with this kind of thing.
The next thing is to deal with valuable goods. On the way back, Hans' cell phone rang. He glanced at it and said in surprise, "It's Reginald's call. What is it for?"
