Chapter 374: 373. Bidding War (Monthly Pass 82+)
Seeing Harris slapping little Rick, Hans stuck out his tongue and said, "Wow, this guy is still so grumpy, why does he like to slap people so much?"
Little Rick was taken aback. He didn't understand what he did wrong. He looked at Harris in shock and bewilderment, and said, "Uncle, what's going on?"
Hearing his address, Rick's brows jumped again.
He went up and pulled his son away, and said with a cold face: "Shut up, shut up!"
Little Rick was extremely wronged and felt very ashamed!
His face was hot, and he didn't know if he was being drawn or ashamed.
If it's in private, it's okay to be slapped, not to mention being slapped, when the Comanche casino was collecting debts, it even nearly broke his bones.
But now it is in public, and the people watching him being beaten are all low-level treasure hunters who he looked down on before, which increases his embarrassment even more.
He felt that all the treasure hunters were looking at him, either with pity, mockery, or indifference. In short, this feeling drove him crazy.
Without saying a word, he ran to the truck, drove the car out of the parking lot, and walked away.
Li Du looked at Harris and Rick and said, "You guys went too far just now."
Rick was so angry that he vomited blood, and he shouted: "You picked it, bastard, don't come out and pretend to be a good person at this time! You are the one who picked it!"
This kind of nonsense made Li Du very tired. Obviously, he couldn't reason with Rick, so he simply didn't speak.
Hans didn't want to see his brother being humiliated. He pointed at Rick's chest and said, "Hey, buddy, it was your son who provoked him. Li is already a good man. If he provoked me, he wouldn't be the one who whipped him." only one person!"
Rick wanted to say something, Harris pushed him, and said impatiently: "Okay, don't cause trouble, it was indeed your son who caused trouble first, isn't it good to make money quietly?"
Harris' attitude made Rick very angry, and he growled: "You are too much, man, what are you doing? Who do you take me for?!"
Harris didn't care about Rick's anger. He said coldly: "After you pay off the debt, I will laugh at you a lot."
From the beginning to the end, Pohl and York have been watching the fun from the sidelines, without any intention of interfering.
The crowd dispersed, York said: "These country bumpkins are quite interesting."
Pole curled his lips and said: "There is a ghost, Arizona is indeed rich in savages, but I like it here, I like to deal with these damned savages."
The auctioneer came, and the security guards in the warehouse began to maintain order, and the auction was about to start.
Warehouse No. 41 was opened first, and neatly arranged red-brown wood furniture appeared in front of the treasure hunters.
Seeing these furniture, the crowd immediately boiled:
"Damn it, the news is accurate, there are mahogany furniture here!"
"It's rosewood, and lo and behold, the color is from light yellow to dark reddish brown with dark streaks on the surface, it's rosewood!"
"It's too far away for me to see clearly, but it looks so beautiful, you must take a picture of it!"
Li Du mixed in the crowd, and when it was his turn, he took the binoculars from Hans and watched them carefully, then poked his nose into it and sniffed his nose vigorously, and wanted to reach out to caress a chair near the door.
The auctioneer saw it and said, "Don't reach out and touch the contents, buddy, don't let me warn you a second time."
Rick observed the scene carefully from behind the crowd, and Pohl came up and said in a low voice, "Look and hear and ask, right?"
"Who knows." Rick shook his head and left.
At the end of the visit, the auctioneer glanced at the price list and said: "OK guys, please come around me and I'm going to start quoting. If you don't elaborate on the rules, everyone understands, so I will directly propose a price of 1,000 yuan, 1,000 yuan, 1,000 yuan... "
Hans looked at Li Du, Li Du shook his head and said, "Don't worry."
For a set of mahogany furniture in the warehouse, the price of 1,000 yuan is very low. Immediately, a treasure picker raised his hand and said: "1000 yuan, take it!"
"1500 yuan!"
"2000 yuan!"
"3000 yuan!"
"5000 yuan!"
Prices have risen rapidly, and it is clear that treasure hunters are full of interest in these furniture.
Harris looked at Rick and whispered, "Quickly bid, why don't you make an offer?"
Rick said calmly: "Don't worry, Mr. Harris, let them fight first, this is not a good opportunity to enter the competition."
Harris nodded and said: "It seems that there is no chance to win this warehouse at a low price, right?"
Rick hesitated and said, "Seriously, buddy, I don't recommend buying these furniture. According to my information, there are some counterfeit goods inside."
Harris glared at him and said, "Your news? Where did you get the news? Let me tell you, the news that the Chinese told me is that the furniture inside is red rosewood and yellow rosewood!"
Rick said vigilantly: "Didn't you feel that the appearance of the Chinese was too coincidental? Appeared just before the auction started?"
Harris asked, "What do you mean?"
Rick said: "I suspect that the warehouse company hired a Chinese to deceive us!"
Hearing what he said, Harris also hesitated.
Indeed, it was a coincidence that the so-called Chinese-American experts appeared. They are not fools, and it is impossible to simply believe a stranger's one-sided words.
At this time, Li Du made an offer, and Hans raised his hand and said directly, "Ten thousand yuan!"
The price soared from 7,000 yuan to 10,000 yuan. Many treasure hunters shook their heads in frustration. They didn't prepare such a large amount of money.
But there are still treasure hunters who can keep up: "15,000 yuan!"
"Eleven thousand dollars!"
As for Boll and York, they were also hesitating: "Man, do you want to get involved? If it's really mahogany, the price of 10,000 yuan is too low."
In the collection of the American market, mahogany furniture is still relatively rare, and the two of them are relatively unfamiliar with it.
But they have a database, and Boer opened his laptop to find information about mahogany, read the introduction at a glance, and then went to look at the furniture inside, gritted his teeth: "Try it, and the price will increase!"
After hearing this, York immediately raised his hand and said, "15,000 yuan, us!"
The price increase was high enough, and some treasure hunters withdrew from the bidding process.
A treasure hunter asked wonderingly, "Where did those two guys come from? They seem to be very rich."
The person next to him smiled and said, "Are you a rookie? You don't know either of them? If you go to California, you must have heard of their names, Ball and York!"
Li Du glanced at Boer and nodded calmly.
Hans also raised his hand and said, "Twenty thousand yuan!"
The price hike is getting bigger and bigger!
At this time, Harris couldn't bear it anymore, and he said, "Listen, Rick, are you sure you can prove that these furniture are fake?"
Rick thought for a while, then shook his head helplessly and said, "No."
Harris waved his arm immediately, and said viciously: "Then they are genuine, twenty-six thousand yuan!"
