Chapter 45 45. Look at Me
Sorry for the late update. Last night, my vegetable chopping hand was cut, and the treatment was not timely. I went to deal with it in the morning. Sadly, I had to deal with it again. I had three stitches without anesthesia! When I met a black-hearted doctor, I actually collected money in private, that is to say, I processed and sutured it directly after registration, and said I would give him the money after suturing, which is even more sad, and it is still a top-tier hospital, haha! ****
Two days later, in the morning, the Locomotive Warehouse Company was buzzing.
Although Williams is only a small town, because it is a tourist attraction, many people come to vacation and travel every year, so it is easy to find good things in the warehouse. Every time there is a warehouse auction here, it can attract many treasure hunters.
This time, they attracted a lot of people. The bet between Li Du and Andrew was spread by someone, and now it is widely spread in the warehouse auction industry in Flagstaff City.
Knowing that they were going to have a decisive battle at the Locomotive Warehouse Company, naturally many people came to visit, even Phoenix.
Of course, these people are not just watching the excitement, they want to get a foot in it, and it would be great if they can take a picture of a warehouse worth more than two people.
Today's warehouse auction is very popular. If you can dig out the most valuable warehouse, you will definitely earn a great reputation.
Many newcomers are also present. For them, this can increase their knowledge, and they can also gain a chance to become famous, and they may become famous instantly.
When Li and Du arrived at the warehouse company, they found that more than 50 people had already appeared, and there was still an hour and a half before the auction started!
When there are too many people, the voices will be chaotic. The treasure hunters greet each other, and the voices rang out in a mess:
"Hi, Ali, long time no see, are you here today?"
"Of course, there's a good show to watch today. The boss of the 100,000 Club wants to teach the rookie a lesson."
"A rookie has to be educated, and he actually challenges Andrew's authority, it's really reckless!"
"I heard that the rookie took the initiative to bet with Andrew."
"Then it's not that I don't know how to live or die, it's that I'm tired of living."
Andrew didn't arrive until 9:30 before the auction started. His modified Mustang sports car roared to the parking lot, and then he got out with his head held high.
Seeing this scene, Li Du smiled, and said: "No wonder this guy is called the sky-turning eye. His eyes really turn to the sky all the time."
Members of the 100,000 Club are like stars in such a small place. As soon as he appeared, a bunch of people immediately gathered around to greet him.
Andrew responded lukewarmly. When he saw Li Du and Hans, he smiled coldly, and made a throat-slitting gangster gesture to them.
Immediately, the scene was detonated by this provocative action:
"Cool, brother Andrew is really handsome!"
"That's the rookie who provoked Andrew? He looks like an idiot!"
"It's not provocative, it's looking for death. This guy must be crazy to be famous, he doesn't think he is the son of the god of luck, does he?"
"If the god of luck is also a rookie, then he still can't win against Andrew, it's just asking for shame."
A smiling auctioneer came out. He was a middle-aged black man, and he spoke quickly: "Everyone, you are ready to enter the venue. There are eight warehouses to be auctioned today. Yes, eight warehouses, please line up."
"Everyone knows the rules. You are not allowed to enter the warehouse, you are not allowed to touch anything, and you are not allowed to throw anything in it. But today there are too many people. Let's change it into groups of five people and can stay at the door for a minute. Do you have any questions?"
There is no doubt about it. Hans told Li Du that if the number of people exceeds one hundred, they will be divided into groups. Otherwise, one person will take one minute, and it will take several hours just to look at a warehouse, which is too time-consuming.
Hearing what the auctioneer said, many people lamented, no one likes group visits, the secrecy is too poor, if you focus on any item for too long, people around you will notice.
Li Du's heart skipped a beat when the reserved nine warehouses became eight. However, he was relieved when he saw that the last warehouse was canceled.
After looking at the warehouse, he whispered: "It's difficult to do today, there are too many people, and the price will be raised very high."
Hans gave him a wink and said, "Look at me."
When he came today, he prepared two suitcases, and he and Li Du each carried one.
Holding the suitcase, Hans stepped into the crowd and bumped into a big man.
In this way, he immediately exploded: "Look at the way, buddy, look at the way! For God's sake, don't waste the eyes he gave you!"
The big man looked unhappy and said, "Why are you crazy, Boss Fu?"
Hans cried, "Am I crazy? You hit my cash box! Do you know what's in there?"
He opened the box, and suddenly revealed the neat new dollar bills inside with a 'snap'. The box was full, which was very shocking.
Seeing the money, the crowd suddenly gasped.
Hans showed a very embarrassed expression, pointed at Li Du and said, "My buddy still has a box!"
"Are you going to blow down all the warehouses with money?" someone asked.
Hans smiled and said, "Of course, as long as we don't lose money, then we win, right?"
It's like betting with chips to beat your opponent. It's despicable, but you can win.
After hearing this, Andrew over there showed no sign of weakness. With a cigarette in his mouth, he took out a hundred-dollar bill from his wallet and lit it, and then used the flame to light the cigarette.
"Cool!" The crowd suddenly burst into cheers.
The auction has not yet started, and the two have already fought, and the people who eat melons are happy to see this.
The first warehouse began to be auctioned, and the auctioneer raised his hand and said, "The starting price of Warehouse No. 15 is 200 yuan, 200 yuan, 200 yuan..."
Hans nodded immediately, seeing the auctioneer pointing at him and saying, "Someone answered yes for two hundred yuan, and someone answered yes, so now it's three hundred yuan, three hundred yuan, three hundred yuan..."
Someone else accepted the offer, the auctioneer continued to raise the price, Hans continued to follow the price, the price climbed up, and quickly rose to 1,000 yuan, then 1,500 yuan, and 2,000 yuan.
Andrew watched from the side, and sneered, "I really don't understand how idiots like you can make money!"
Two thousand yuan was the price quoted by a big fat man. He came to join in the fun. Seeing that Hans kept making direct prices, he decided to join in the fun.
As soon as he accepted the offer of two thousand yuan, Hans suddenly shut up.
Now the fat man was dumbfounded, and he called out, "Hey, why didn't you bid?"
Hans sneered and said, "I'm not blind, this warehouse is worth two thousand yuan? Five hundred yuan is not worth it!"
There was another roar of laughter from the crowd: "Sunster, you have been tricked by Boss Fu!"
In Warehouse No. 16, Hans began to bid again. This time, when the price reached 1,500 yuan, Hans stopped bidding, and the others also stopped bidding.
The middle-aged man who quoted the price said with disdain: "Damn it, you won't follow before it reaches two thousand yuan? Boss Fu, you are still that poor ghost in your bones, and poor ghosts can't make money!"
Hans ignored him and just hugged the box in his arms tightly.
The third warehouse was opened, and after queuing up and reading it, the quotation began: "Someone in this warehouse has full confidence in him, so the initial quotation is 1,000 yuan, 1,000 yuan, 1,000 yuan, does anyone dare to accept this price?"
Hans raised his hand: "Two thousand!"
Li Du nodded. There are many musical instruments in this warehouse, and they are well maintained. They can be sold for at least 5,000 yuan.
Andrew wiped his nose calmly and said, "Five thousand yuan!"
