Chapter 224 223. Confrontation (2)
As soon as the price of 100,000 yuan was quoted, the auctioneer scratched his ears, and was shocked by the price given his knowledge and experience.
This kind of large-scale warehouse auction, as long as there is no particularly clear value display, the later the transaction price will be lower, because the treasure hunters will have less and less enthusiasm for auctions and less and less interest.
Taking this auction as an example, thousands of people arrived here when the auction started yesterday, but today there are only 500 people left, and some of them came to watch the fun and open their eyes.
Therefore, the warehouse quotation of 100,000 yuan is amazing. So far, the price of this warehouse has been called the king of bids!
What is even more astonishing is that this price was quoted by a previously unknown Chinese.
Perhaps Li Du is well-known in the warehouse auction circle in Flagstaff City, but if it is enlarged to the Los Angeles area or even the West Coast of the United States, he is not well-known.
Even if he didn't make any money from this auction, he gained a lot. His confrontation with Frank made him famous, and now his story is already being circulated in the warehouse auction circle in Los Angeles.
Hearing the offer of 100,000 yuan, Frank hesitated a little, York stopped him and shook his head and said, "Forget it, there will be a chance for revenge later."
Upon hearing this, Frank became angry again for some reason, and shouted hoarsely: "Go ride the horse, I will pay you 110,000!"
Li Du evaluated in his heart, the valuable items in the warehouse were those props from the movie "Troy", and he didn't see any valuable goods.
But those props are props after all, not antique weapons from the real Trojan War. They can sell for more than one hundred thousand yuan at most, and it is not worthwhile to continue to increase the price.
Yes, just now he quoted 100,000 yuan not because of the vindictiveness guessed by the treasure hunters, but because he judged that the warehouse could sell more than 100,000 yuan.
If he can buy this warehouse without losing money, he is willing to do so, after all, it can dampen Frank's spirit.
But now the price is too high, he shook his head and quit the bidding process.
Seeing him shaking his head, the auctioneer was too lazy to continue bidding, and pointed directly at Frank: "Okay man, this warehouse belongs to you. You are the current bidder for 110,000 yuan..."
Frank gestured to Li Du in the pose of a gangster cutting his throat, his eyes were dark and his posture was arrogant.
Entering the next warehouse, York suddenly stopped when he passed by Li Du and the others, and said, "We underestimated you."
Li Du looked at him expressionlessly, without saying a word.
York smiled and said, "For the warehouse just now, you quoted very aggressively, but we got it."
"I got a warehouse for 110,000 yuan. Is there any gold in it?" Hans laughed.
York shrugged and said, "When we photographed the Gold Warehouse, someone said that like you. Later, he regretted it and cried bitterly."
Li Du finally said: "If there is gold in the warehouse, I will cut off your head!"
"But the warehouse is indeed worth 110,000 yuan. Do you think I'm here to demonstrate? No, I'm here to show off." York smiled, "It's a pity you don't know what's in it, you will regret it."
Li Du touched his chin, and he heard something from York's words.
The other party may know the details of the warehouse and know that there are props for the movie "Troy" in it.
In other words, their bid is not just fighting spirit.
There are some musical instruments in Warehouse 29, and Warner Bros. has made many movies about singing and dancing.
Li Du was quite interested. The musical instruments in this warehouse were genuine and could be worth some money.
He did not bid, but told Turis and others to make an offer, after all, he had to let his followers make some money.
This time the price stopped when it reached 5,000 yuan, and Turis was about to get it, Frank made another bid: "10,000 yuan!"
Li Du looked at him suspiciously, and couldn't figure out whether he made the bid out of fighting spirit or because he had discovered the musical instruments hidden behind the shelves.
Turis bid, and Frank chased after him, and the price climbed to 20,000 yuan.
In this way, Li Du shook his head and signaled for Rees to withdraw, and he might lose money if he bought the warehouse for more than 20,000 yuan.
In the next four or five warehouses in a row, as long as there is an offer from Li Du's side, Frank and his followers will bid, and they are very determined to bid.
The treasure hunters noticed it, and soon someone said: "Li, you will find nothing in the future."
"Frank and his guys are rich, man, you can't beat 'em."
"It's not a good idea to offend Frank, you guys are miserable!"
Li Du's expression was solemn, as if he felt helpless about the current situation.
Turis and the others didn't care, Reeves patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, Li, at least we have opened our eyes, and this is a great harvest."
"Yes, Li, don't worry, not every storage auction will yield something." Ollie also comforted him.
Li Du nodded slowly, and said: "I know, guys, does Frank want to fight? Well, let's fight! I want to confront him head-on!"
Hans was so familiar with him, he immediately understood what he meant, and whispered: "Hey, brother, it's not that simple to trick him! This guy is more experienced and cunning than us all, he I know all the means!"
Turis also knew his plan, and said: "If you want to cheat him through the false bidding model, you may let yourself fall into the pit!"
Li Du said, "I know, guys."
Warehouse No. 34 was opened, and he came to quote in person, directly mentioning five thousand yuan from one thousand yuan.
From the outside, there is nothing valuable in this warehouse, only a pile of garbage, and you will lose money if you buy it for a thousand yuan.
But Li Du knew that there were some beautiful crystal chandeliers stored in the box, and they could sell for some money.
Frank followed suit, and his bid was 6,000 yuan.
Li Du raised the price to 10,000 yuan, and then glanced at Frank with the corner of his eye.
Frank withdrew decisively. Instead of quoting again, he shook his head with a sneer: "Idiot, 10,000 yuan is a bunch of rubbish! Want to use price wars to pit me? Stupid!"
Li Du knew better.
Warehouse thirty-five opened, and he began to deploy the action plan.
There are two motorcycles in this warehouse, painted in black and white, with the words 'POLICE' on them, like police motorcycles.
For fans who are familiar with movies produced by Warner Bros., these two motorcycles are no strangers. They are Kawasaki 1000cc police motorcycles, which are very famous and have appeared in the "Terminator" movie.
In "The Terminator", there is a scene where the T-1000 robot from across time pretends to be a policeman chasing Sarah, John and the T-800 robot that protects the mother and child.
Among them, the motorcycle driven by T-1000 is this one.
However, Li Du has seen it with Xiao Chong's ability to reproduce the old days. These two motorcycles are not prototypes, but model cars that were later used for movie promotion.
