Chapter 376

If Li Dugang made such a request when he was attending the auction, he would definitely be ridiculed by many people.

But now that he has established his prestige, treasure hunters will no longer laugh at him, and his request is what everyone thinks.

After the auctioneer declined, more requests were made:

"Old man, let's go in and have a look, we are at the door, how can we take risks?"

"I have money but I dare not spend it unless I go in and see what's going on."

"Is the furniture inside really mahogany? If so, why are you afraid of us looking at it?"

The auctioneer stood at the door like a stone Buddha, turning a blind eye to the treasure hunter's demands and threats.

Li Du leaned over and said in a low voice: "Man, if you want to make money, let everyone go in and have a look, otherwise no one will dare to pay a high price. And you know what else is in the warehouse at the back, unless you let everyone think that these furniture are real, otherwise the more you go After that, the price will be lower!"

The auctioneer remained calm and said, "Sorry, rules are rules."

Li Du patted him on the shoulder and said: "Rules are dead, but people are alive. Believe me, the furniture inside looks like genuine products. If you let everyone read it, the price will only be higher!"

No one has trouble with money, and the auctioneer is a little moved.

Li Du was right about one thing, that is, he knew what was in the warehouse behind, because as an auctioneer, he had seen it in advance and cooperated with the warehouse company to make the initial price.

The warehouses in the back are full of mahogany furniture, and everyone will be less enthusiastic about quoting as the time goes on, because everyone will guess that there should be fakes inside.

If all the furniture in these warehouses were genuine, the value of the seven warehouses would be at least a million. No mahogany hall would forget so many valuable warehouses.

The warehouse company thinks so, and the auctioneer thinks so, so the starting price is set at several thousand yuan.

However, the auction price of the first warehouse moved the auctioneer. According to industry rules, his income is closely related to the final transaction price of the warehouse.

The first warehouse sold for more than 60,000 yuan in the end, and he could earn 6,000 yuan at a time. If the subsequent warehouses can sell for this price, then he will make a fortune.

He hoped that the back warehouse could sell at the same high price, but he didn't dare to let people observe the furniture at close range. If they judged that the furniture was fake, there would be no money to be made.

Li Du saw that the auctioneer's mood was shaken, so he continued to add fire, and said in a low voice, "Let's go in and have a look. Regardless of whether this warehouse is real or not, I'll guarantee you a minimum of 50,000 yuan, how about it?"

The auctioneer was finally moved. He stared at Li Du and said, "Guaranteed 50,000 yuan?"

Li Du looked at the crowd and said, "Everyone can testify that no matter what results we see after we go in, I will offer 50,000 yuan. This is the reserve price of the auction, the reserve price I have offered!"

The treasure hunters all wanted to enter the warehouse, so when they heard what he said, they immediately cooperated and said: "We testify!" "Boss Li is amazing!" "Let's go in and have a look!"

The auctioneer stepped aside and said, "You can enter the warehouse to visit, but keep the bottom line of the rules and don't touch anything, otherwise I will expel him!"

"OK!" The treasure hunter immediately cheered.

The first rule of the warehousing auction is that no one is allowed to enter the warehouse, let alone touch any items in the warehouse. Before the auction is completed, the warehouse must be kept in its original condition and integrity.

But there is a loophole in the rules, that is 'entering the warehouse'!

What do you mean you entered the warehouse? Does passing through the warehouse door count as entering the warehouse? Literally speaking, this is indeed the case.

However, the auction rules did not explain this, so how to enter the warehouse is usually the responsibility of the auctioneer.

This time the auctioneer took two steps back, which means that the treasure hunter has two steps to enter the space. Although he can't wander around in the warehouse casually, he can come into face-to-face contact with the outermost furniture.

Li Du was the first in line. He was almost lying on a small bed with clear texture and glossy color, and his gaze was so focused and careful.

Seeing the auctioneer back away, Bohr, York, Rick and the others all lifted their spirits.

Instead of rushing forward to watch it, they immediately called friends who knew about mahogany or furniture and prepared a video for help.

When Boer called, York looked at Li Du and laughed and said, "This guy seems to understand very well. Look at him, his eyeballs are going to stick to the wood!"

"Then what else can you expect him to do? How many capable expert collectors do you think these bumpkins know?" Pohl sneered before the call was connected.

Li Du was also sneering, he did this on purpose for some people to see.

At the last minute of the last warehouse auction, Rick stopped bidding, letting him know that the guy might still have doubts about the authenticity of the mahogany furniture.

However, he must have been shaken by the idea that the mahogany furniture is a fake, otherwise he would not have bid such a high price as 60,000 yuan.

So he wanted to help Rick and help him increase his confidence in the authenticity of the mahogany furniture. Of course, he couldn't do it directly, he had to help him through indirect means.

What kind of indirect means? Mr. Li chose to find a way to get him close to the mahogany furniture, so that Rick would inevitably open a video to ask his expert friends for help.

Li Du is confident that it is impossible to tell from the appearance that the furniture in the second warehouse is fake, because the furniture in this warehouse is made of fake craftsmanship!

The furniture in the first warehouse uses the model of fake structure and fake skin. For experienced people, some clues can be seen from the appearance.

Because the furniture with fake structure is inconsistent, and the texture of fake furniture with veneer conflicts. After all, the wooden boards pasted on it are pieced together.

Craft fraud is the closest to the real situation, and it is difficult to judge. The best way to identify it is to cut the wood to see the internal texture.

But mahogany furniture is very precious, who is willing to cut it open to identify the true and false? What's more, the treasure hunters here are not even qualified to touch the furniture, let alone cut it!

Approaching the mahogany furniture, the treasure hunters began to show their magical powers. Some took photos and sent them to friends to help them identify them.

Li Du guessed right. Although everyone paid great attention to secrecy, he still judged from the sporadic words he heard that no one could see that these furniture were fake.

Especially the outermost cot is made of iron sword wood to pretend to be red sandalwood, and the appearance of iron sword wood and red sandalwood is very similar, and with the bleaching and dyeing process, the appearance is even more similar!

At the end of the visit, the auctioneer pointed at Li Du and shouted: "The reserve price is 50,000 yuan. If you don't have that much money, you can go back. Who wants to get rich and move forward, because 50,000 yuan is the price given by the youngest member of the 100,000 yuan club." ..."

Before the auctioneer could finish speaking, Rick raised his hand and said, "Sixty thousand!"

The tone is very firm!

Seeing this, Li Du smiled slightly, and the fish was hooked.
