Chapter 134 134. Give It to You
Li Du also cheered up, this time the warehouse auction, he wanted to get this one the most.
It has nothing to do with the actual value, he wants to figure out the problem of the stone carving material inside, and then use it to study the bugs, find patterns to upgrade the bugs.
Hans was excited and hesitated after seeing the stone carvings: "Damn it, they are all statues. I don't know whose work they are. Can you find traces of the creator's identity?"
Regardless of stone carving or wood carving, if the raw materials are not valuable, then it depends on the identity of the sculptor. The works of ordinary sculptors are worthless, only the works of famous sculptors will do.
For example, the toy dinosaur pottery they photographed before, if it was not finally determined to be the masterpiece of pottery master Brett Cohen, it would not have sold for much money.
Li Du didn't know the identity of the creator, but he knew that he should not be famous.
He had seen the author's appearance in the time reversal yesterday, and none of the famous sculptors on the Internet resembled him.
In addition to the statues, the rest of the warehouse is tools. Hans guessed that these tools can be sold for 1,800 yuan, so he has to rely on statues to make money.
He looked at Li Du, Li Du nodded and said, "Take it."
"What about the price?"
Li Du thought for a while and said, "There is no limit for now."
After hearing this, Hanston was overjoyed: "This warehouse is worth a lot, isn't it?"
Li Du couldn't explain it, so he could only shrug his shoulders and say, "I will personally bid."
Hans was even happier, he misunderstood Li Du's meaning.
After everyone queued up, the auctioneer raised his hand and began to bid: "Everyone is starting to bid now, starting from 500 yuan, is there anyone willing to accept it?"
With the lesson from the last warehouse, Li Du quickly raised his hand, only to raise his hand. Freddy's voice sounded: "Don't raise your hand and put it down like just now!"
Ignoring his sarcastic remarks, Li Du said: "500 yuan, me."
The auctioneer pointed at him: "Very good, 500 yuan, 500 yuan, 500 yuan, now it's 600 yuan, 600 yuan, 600 yuan..."
Freddy nodded, "I accept."
"600 yuan is already in the past tense, so how about we take a bigger step, 1,000 yuan, 1,000 yuan, 1,000 yuan?"
"1000 yuan, yes." A middle-aged treasure hunter nodded.
The price started to rise, Li Du snapped his fingers and said, "Look at me, 2,000 yuan!"
"2100 yuan!"
"Take this warehouse, 2200 yuan!"
"I'll come, 2400 yuan!"
Li Du snapped his fingers again and said, "3000 yuan!"
Listening to his offer and looking at his expression, the treasure pickers became more and more restless, and some people who were not interested at first also started to offer.
"3200 yuan!"
"Damn it, everyone brought thick wallets, then I'll pay 3,500 yuan!"
Hans pulled Li Du, and said in a low voice: "It's not the man who quoted the price like this. We made money from the warehouse of ceramic sculptures before. Everyone knows that if you quote like this, who doesn't know that the warehouse is very valuable?"
The industry of warehousing auctions has a strong flow of news. If someone takes a photo of something valuable, the news will soon spread throughout the circle.
Hans was right. Although the two of them took photos of the warehouse of ceramic sculpture toys before, although they always explained that it was a coincidence and luck, the treasure hunters did not believe it. They believed that the two had profound attainments in the sculpture industry.
Li Du made an offer with firm determination, and the treasure hunters will inevitably have some ideas.
The price competition entered a fierce stage, and quickly climbed from 3,000 yuan to 4,000 yuan, and from 4,000 yuan to 5,000 yuan.
Li Du is really interested in this warehouse. The things in it may make him unable to make money, but if he can research something about bugs, then no amount of money can buy it.
Therefore, he gritted his teeth and raised his hand, "Ten thousand yuan!"
As soon as the price was quoted, there was a gasp in the room immediately.
The treasure hunters whispered to each other, discussing:
"God, what's in this warehouse? Lee has never been so aggressive, has he?"
"Maybe he's trying to get Freddy that mad dog? I don't think the warehouse is worth more than ten thousand dollars."
"Impossible, Freddy has stopped making an offer a long time ago, he must want to get it himself!"
The auctioneer was overjoyed, and shouted to Li Du: "10,000, 10,000, 10,000, buddy, you can hold up the number plate and let me see it, that's good. No. 49, I remember you, so is there anyone willing to continue to increase the price?"
"Yes, ten thousand and one hundred yuan!" A loud voice appeared at the scene, and treasure hunters heard it and looked at it.
Li Du also looked over in surprise, and then saw a fairly familiar face: a long-faced Mexican, he had seen around Lucas, it seemed that this guy was called Anthony.
He recalled it, and quickly confirmed the identity of the man. When he participated in the advertising screen auction last time, this guy was with Lucas.
"Okay, ten thousand and one hundred yuan, ten thousand and one million yuan, ten thousand and one hundred yuan, so who is willing to pay a higher price?" the auctioneer said happily.
Li Du smiled and said, "Twenty thousand yuan!"
The treasure hunters whistled or clapped at him and shouted strangely: "You have money, my big brother!"
Anthony glanced at him contemptuously, and said, "Twenty thousand and one hundred yuan!"
Li Du frowned. The statues in the warehouse were definitely not worth the money. If the statue itself had no selling point in its material, it wouldn't even sell for a thousand yuan.
What he paid for was Xiao Chong's research materials, but he wasn't sure what he would be able to research if he got them in the warehouse, so it wasn't worthwhile to continue to increase the price.
But he still wants to take a gamble. Anyway, he has accumulated more than 400,000 yuan, which is earned by Xiao Chong. If he researches something, it will be easier to make money in the future.
So, he snapped his fingers and said, "Fifty thousand!"
The treasure hunters were stunned, and someone couldn't help shouting: "Fack! What's in this damn warehouse? Is there a Michelangelo sculpture? Fifty thousand!"
Anthony also showed a surprised expression when he heard the offer, and the auctioneer shouted: "50,000, 50,000, 50,000, today's bidder was born, is there anyone who is willing to bid a higher price?"
Hans rubbed his hands excitedly. This was the warehouse with the highest bid. He was guessing how much it was worth, and Li Du could make such a bid.
Someone next to Anthony makes a quick phone call and nods at him.
Seeing this, Anthony's long face showed a disdainful expression, and he shouted at the top of his voice, "Fifty thousand and one hundred!"
"It's amazing!" The treasure hunters said enviously.
Li Du understood that Anthony had obviously set him up. He didn't know how much the warehouse was worth, but he just thought that he insisted on buying it, so he thought it must be of great value.
In this way, he doesn't need to continue quoting. They are raising the price with him, and he doesn't know the reserve price of the other party, so even if he wants to get the warehouse, it will cost a lot.
Thinking of this, he shook his head at the auctioneer and said, "Okay, this warehouse is for that guy!"
Someone around Anthony booed him, and Freddy booed especially loudly: "This is the new treasure hunter in Flagstaff City? The treasure hunter who didn't harvest any warehouses? Haha, how funny!"
Li Du glanced at him, and couldn't help but asked, "Is there something wrong with your brain? Or are you mentally retarded?"
Freddy raised his middle finger at him, looking contemptuous.
