Chapter 220 219. Hot Start (4)
At nine o'clock, the auction will start on time.
Li Du's estimate was good. There were thousands of treasure hunters coming, and the crowd was bustling. The auction is estimated to last until night.
The conflict between him and Frank became the hottest topic among the treasure hunters. After some people added fuel and vinegar, the treasure hunters who arrived later also knew their feat.
Li Du became the leader of the treasure hunters in Flagstaff City, and even Phoenix had treasure hunters join him.
Ready to enter the warehouse for a visit, Turis asked: "Li, why does that guy Rick obey you? What are you talking about about the peace talks?"
Li Du smiled wryly, "If I say that we don't even know what's going on, would you believe me?"
Turis nodded seriously: "Yes, of course, you are the child of miracles. You have done too many unbelievable things, so why do we not believe you?"
Li Du really didn't know why Rick and his son had to make peace with him. He knew that the two of them had been dealt with by Marin, but why did they insist on making peace with him? At most, it’s enough to avoid myself in the future?
Or, could it be that they were afraid of him after they were cleaned up? In other words, they want to turn hostility into friendship, and want to cooperate with him in the future?
The auction is about to start. There is no need to think about this kind of thing. Anyway, Rick and his son will definitely go to them again.
Because there were too many participants, in order to save time, the crowd was divided into teams of ten people, and each team had one minute to visit the warehouse.
Li Du was amazed. This was the most exaggerated warehouse auction he had ever encountered. Ten people could block the entrance of the warehouse with just one stop.
But he still had to see it, even if it was just pretend.
There will be a special organizer for this auction, and everyone will be divided into several groups in order, and Frank, York and others will not participate in the group.
"Is that okay?" Hans exclaimed dissatisfied.
Frank raised his middle finger at him in disdain, and York whispered a few words to the head of the organization, who nodded and sorted them to the end.
In other words, Frank and York are a group, and they will be the last to visit the warehouse.
In the process of visiting warehouse auctions, the last group always has some advantages. One is that they can listen to the previous visitors, and the other is that no one urges them at the end, so they can watch for a while.
But everyone is intelligently envious, jealous and hateful, who let them not have Frank's connections and fame?
The visit began, and then Li Du opened his eyes:
There are various ways for the treasure hunters to visit. Some simply look at it with their eyes, some bring a video recorder to record and then go out for analysis, and some bring a telescope...
Li Du was surprised and said, "This guy is short-sighted or something? With a telescope?"
Hans rolled his eyes and said, "It's a thermal infrared mirror. The temperature of the scanned object is different, and the color of the displayed image is also different."
"Although the outside temperature is the same, the temperature of the things inside is still different. Plastic products, paper products, metal products, etc. are all different, so the final imaging color is different."
Li Du was shocked: "So advanced?"
"Look, there are more advanced ones out there." Ollie came up and pointed to the front.
At the door of the warehouse, someone took out a drone from his backpack, installed a camera on it, and the small aircraft whizzed into it.
Li Du felt that he had not only opened his eyes, but also opened his eyes: "Damn!"
Hans was also stunned: "This is okay?"
The auctioneer in charge of supervision blinked, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Someone asked: "Is it okay to use a drone? Dude, this is cheating!"
The owner of the drone argued: "Why not? This is within the scope of the rules. The rules are that no one is allowed to enter the warehouse door, and there is no rule that no equipment is allowed to enter."
The auctioneer opened his hand and said, "He's right."
Hans said: "It will be interesting in the future. I heard that RB people have created a very advanced robot? I guess someone will control the robot to enter the warehouse?"
Li Du stroked his chin and said, "We can do it too, let Ah Miao and Gan Crispy Noodles go in."
The treasure hunters were very dissatisfied and felt that this method should be banned.
The auctioneer said: "Everything is carried out according to the rules. We have to respect the rules. If you have any opinions, please report to the association after the auction."
The man operating the drone said proudly: "Yes, we must respect the rules, otherwise why make them?"
After Li Du and others finished their visit, Turis and others came up and asked, "Li, do you want to take a picture?"
This warehouse is very large, and there are many valuable things in it, such as those polystyrene splints printed with city patterns, each of which can sell for thousands of dollars, and there are dozens of dollars inside!
He hesitated for a moment, and said, "I estimate that this warehouse can be sold for 50,000 yuan, so I will participate in the auction at less than 20,000 yuan."
According to the rules, the lord in the team has the priority auction right, and only if he withdraws from the auction, the followers can make a move.
The auction officially started, and the auctioneer shouted at a very fast speed: "I won't wait for you and I won't give you time to think about it, so if you like it, please increase the price quickly..."
"The starting bid for this warehouse is 1,000, 1,000, 1,000. If anyone is interested, please come forward and let me see you and hear your quotation..."
"A thousand dollars, me!"
"Okay, so now it's two thousand two thousand two thousand two thousand..."
"I'll offer two thousand yuan."
"Then three thousand three thousand three thousand three thousand..."
"I can."
"..."
"... five thousand five thousand five thousand five thousand..."
"...8,000, 8,000, 8,000..."
"Ten thousand!" Someone shouted.
"15,000 yuan!" Immediately, another treasure picker bid, and the price increase was very scary.
Hans hurriedly shouted a price: "Twenty thousand yuan!"
This is their reserve price. If someone is willing to continue to raise the price, they will withdraw. If no one raises the price, they will take away the ownership of the warehouse.
The treasure hunters who came to participate in this auction all brought enough money, his voice fell, and soon someone offered again: "Twenty-two thousand yuan!"
"Twenty-three thousand yuan..."
"Thirty thousand yuan!"
"...forty thousand yuan!"
The price was still rising, and there was no sound from Li Du's side. The treasure hunters looked at each other, and then smiled helplessly: "Are we here to see the excitement today?"
40,000 yuan is not the price limit, there are still people asking for a price, and in less than 30 seconds, the price has climbed to 50,000 yuan.
Li Du heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Get ready for a protracted war, guys!"
Frank and York didn't offer any quotations from the beginning to the end. They seemed to look down on the warehouse, and just looked at the crowd with half-smiles.
In the end, the price stopped at 62,000 yuan, and the auctioneer waved his hand immediately: "62,000 yuan, 62,000 yuan, 62,000 yuan, is there anyone who will continue to raise the price? If there is no one, then the deal will be made!"
62,000 yuan, the auction of the first warehouse is over!
