Chapter 56

After enjoying the mine restaurant and the mansion of the mining tycoon, Li Du continued to search the warehouse for the next two days.

Back and forth, he thoroughly inspected all twenty-five warehouses, and found five more valuable warehouses, and carefully wrote down the serial numbers.

In mid-March, Red Rock Warehouse started filming, and the two arrived at the warehouse early in the morning.

When they got off the pickup truck, the treasure hunters who arrived earlier turned their attention, and many people greeted them warmly:

"Hi, Boss Fu, China Li, good morning, it's a surprise to meet you here."

"What's the deal today? Dude, let us know, we haven't opened in two months."

"For God's sake, Boss Fu, don't take all the good stuff away."

Hans obviously enjoyed the feeling of being the focus of attention, but he didn't enjoy it for long, and some treasure hunters who came later brought a piece of news:

"Fred, why are you here too, did you come from Phoenix?"

"Of course I'll come here. There are a few great antique clocks in the warehouse this time. I want to try my luck."

"What, an antique clock? Where did you get the news?"

"Don't be like this, guys, you don't know? Flagpole City has spread all over the city, and the guy with Eye Warping spread the news yesterday."

After Li Du and Hans heard these words, their hearts sank.

Just at this moment, Hans' cell phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID, gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, it's that bastard Andrew!"

Sure enough, Andrew's proud voice came out of the microphone: "Enjoy this auction trip, a batch of antique clocks, you must take pictures of it, I wish you good luck!"

"Damn you scumbag!" Hans cursed.

Andrew said disdainfully: "How can I be despicable? Didn't I tell you a valuable warehouse information? No, I told you, and I told many people."

Indeed, the two capsized a small sailboat in the gutter. When they first set up the bet, they did not require both parties to keep the warehouse information they gave confidential.

Even with this agreement, it's useless, Andrew can pass the news through other people's mouths.

Soon, the local treasure hunters also knew that there were a batch of antique clocks in these warehouses, and they immediately started gearing up.

Feeling the gradually warming atmosphere, Li Du looked solemn: "The situation is not good."

Hans made a decisive decision: "We need to form an alliance and choose those guys who are threatening, otherwise we will bleed a lot, and we may not get the warehouse."

"How to form an alliance?"

"Let me do it, and you will tell me the value of the warehouse later." Hans waved his hand calmly, signaling him not to worry.

The auctioneer entered the arena. He was wearing a microphone and a loudspeaker on his waist. He was as rough as he wanted, which really fit the style of the city of stone mines.

"Old rules, everyone should know the old rules here, you are not allowed to enter the warehouse, you are not allowed to touch anything that does not belong to you, you are not allowed to fight, you are not allowed to quarrel, and I will not care about other things. Okay, let's enter .”

Because Andrew released the information on the antique clock, many people came to the auction, reaching one hundred again. The auctioneer asked everyone to form a group of four to watch.

The first warehouse is Warehouse No. 012. There is a large blower at the door. It looks old, and the paint on the face is mottled.

Li Du asked, "What's the price of this blower?"

Hans pondered for a while and said in a low voice: "If it can be used, there is still a market for this kind of large blower. I think it will be no problem to sell it for five or six hundred yuan."

"Then this warehouse is priced at 500 yuan as the base price?"

"good."

There are many garbage warehouses in Red Rock, which are dilapidated and not very valuable, so the starting price is very low: "Warehouse No. 012 012012, the starting price is 50 yuan, is there any higher than 50 yuan?"

"have."

"Very well, 50 yuan has been accepted, so is there anyone for 100 yuan, 100 yuan, 100 yuan?"

"500 yuan!" A loud voice sounded, and the group of treasure hunters were stunned.

Li Du turned his head to look, and the person speaking was a big man with a beard, wearing sunglasses and a serious expression, like a bodyguard.

Hans glanced at it and said in a low voice, "Damn it, the presidential umbrella, this guy is here too."

After hearing what he said, Li Du was taken aback: "I heard that right, is this guy related to the president?"

Hans laughed and said, "That's his nickname. Look, he always wears a black suit, sunglasses, and a serious face. Does he look like a bodyguard? That's why we call him the Presidential Umbrella."

This guy is rich and discerning, and his precise quotation directly repelled almost all treasure hunters.

Then another person followed the price, and the presidential umbrella immediately bid 800 yuan, thus successfully defeating other treasure hunters and winning the first warehouse.

Seeing this, Hans nodded and said, "That's him, come with me."

The two found the presidential umbrella, and Hans smiled and said, "Hey, Rawls, how are you doing recently? It seems that you have made a lot of money."

The presidential umbrella is still unsmiling: "It's not bad. I went to Florida and made a little money there. It's far worse than you."

Hans said: "We don't have time to chat, so let's just say what we want. How about forming an alliance today? If we get the antique clock, we will share it equally."

The presidential umbrella slowly looked at the two of them, his eyes very critical.

Just when Li Du thought that there was no possibility of cooperation, he said: "According to the news, there are many clocks here, but only two of them are antique clocks, and the others are imitations. In fact, there were more imitations back then, but other sold."

Li Du was surprised, the information they got was not so detailed!

Hans pulled him calmly, nodded calmly and said: "Yes, only two are real antique clocks, but the money is enough for us to share, isn't it?"

The presidential umbrella nodded and said, "Aside from these news, what else do you know?"

Obviously, his subtext is, if you don't know as much as I do or I'm about the same, then I won't cooperate with you.

Now Hans was stunned, they really didn't know more news, Andrew didn't even think about letting them make money from this warehouse.

In an emergency, Li Du smiled and said, "We know which warehouse it is!"

The president took off his sunglasses and looked at his expression carefully, finally nodded and said: "Okay, take out the alliance letter, we are allies."

The two sides clapped hands, which means the cooperation was successful, so Hans heaved a sigh of relief, and introduced to Li Du the rules of cooperation between treasure pickers.

Sometimes there are treasures in the warehouse that cannot be eaten by one person, or when two rich people fancy a warehouse during the auction, then the two parties need to cooperate.

The advantage of cooperation is that they both earn money, and once they do not cooperate, the two parties will often bid wildly, and in the end it is likely that no one will make money, so this model is still quite popular.

However, there are usually two partners. If there are too many participants, the money will be too little, and it will be meaningless.

Li Du did not sell any of the first five warehouses. Except for the first one, the others were all rubbish, and he could not earn a penny if he bought them.

When the sixth warehouse, Warehouse No. 240, started shooting, he winked at Hans and said in a low voice, "This warehouse is of great value."

Hans nodded, and gestured to the presidential umbrella, and the latter entered the crowd, indicating that he was here to participate in the bidding.
