Chapter 678 677. Try the Waters (15)

The second-hand auction market is a small market. If there is no particularly attractive thing, then the turnover of each transaction is only 100,000 to 500,000.

This is incomparable to the art auction market with tens of millions and hundreds of millions of turnover. Therefore, if there are big shots, it will have a great impact on the second-hand auction market.

Suradi-Foye must have heard the rumors that he was spending money in the town, and deliberately moved the auction time forward one day.

For the auction, this has little impact. After all, there are now two auctions a week, and the frequency is very high.

Li Du readily agreed that he would definitely go to the auction tomorrow evening.

What he didn't tell Foye, though, was that if he was expected to spend foolishly big money at an auction, he was overthinking it.

Unless there is something containing time energy in the auction, he may not buy anything, just join in the fun.

One day later, Li Du was fine and continued to wander around the town.

This time it is to check for leaks and make up for vacancies, looking for some things that contain time energy that I missed yesterday, and continue to replenish energy for the bug so that it can eat well.

Many second-hand dealers in Horseshoe Town regard Li Du as the God of Wealth. They are like young ladies, and they go to the door to solicit customers when they see him appearing, and all they have to say is, "Master, come in and have fun."

Hans was very puzzled: "What are these things you exchanged for? How do you make money?"

Li Du smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, have you done what I arranged for you? It will definitely make you money."

Hans nodded: "I did this. The salvage ship and the crane are on their way, but we have to wait a little longer. It's not easy for the crane to come in."

Li Du snapped his fingers and said, "Don't worry."

After lunch, they wandered until the evening, and they drove to the Foye auction house in the town.

Unlike the Hessman Auction House, this one is indoors, converted from a tall building.

This building used to be a casino, with gorgeous decorations. Later, the casino moved and the house was vacant. It was rented out by Old Foye at a low price and turned into a second-hand auction.

Li Du and others got off the car in the parking lot, and when they looked up, they saw a spacious two-story building with an area of ​​tens of thousands of square meters, which was very grand.

Looking at this building, he said with emotion: "Go back and talk to the people in the Hessman Market, look at this place, how tall is it? How high-end? Even the auction venues of Christie's and Sotheby's are nothing more than this?"

Brother Wolf said, "It's a long way off."

"Have you participated in Christie's or Sotheby's auctions?" Li Du asked.

Brother Wolf said: "Participated in the spring and autumn auctions in Berlin and Hamburg, and was responsible for coordinating security. It is very luxurious."

Li Du understands Brother Lang's personality, he is low-key, down-to-earth, and cautious. If he can describe Christie's and Sotheby's auctions as 'very luxurious', it must be very luxurious!

Walking into the auction house, they no longer feel very grand.

The hardware of the building was built by the casino. It took a lot of effort at that time. The hardware has a long life, so even after some years, it still looks very spectacular.

But the software maintenance inside needs to be done by the auction house. The auction house is definitely not as rich as the casino, and basically no longer maintains it.

The building is empty inside, divided into two floors, a bit like a LOFT apartment building, the first floor is the lobby, and the second floor is surrounded by a circle of platforms.

In the hall, facing north is a platform, behind which there is a curtain, so that the lot can be displayed when the curtain is opened.

Further outside, the front and left and right of the stage are auditoriums, and the platform on the second floor above can also stand people, which together can accommodate many people.

When Li Du and the others arrived, there were already many people standing inside, most of them were black and white, and there were also some Indians.

After they came in, everyone who was chatting turned their heads to look not only at Li Du, but also at their team. After all, it was very rare to bring children to the auction.

Brother Wolf always takes Ivanna with him wherever he goes. Li Du can understand that all his other family members have been killed in terrorist attacks, and only this daughter is his only reliance.

The terrorist attack happened when he was away from home, which had a great impact on him, and he was afraid to leave his family.

Similarly, Ivana is also full of fear of the outside world because of terrorist attacks, and only her father can give her a sense of security.

Seeing Li Du, Suradi Foye came over to shake hands with him, and said, "Please, let's go upstairs, I've reserved a place for you."

The upstairs has a better view, only important customers can go up, and anyone can come in on the first floor, including interested tourists.

Simply put, the upstairs is the VIP seating.

Not long after Li Du and the others sat down, someone went upstairs again. He turned his head and saw that it was an acquaintance. It was the fox Fox he had met when he first came to town.

Seeing Li Du, Fox laughed and waved warmly: "Hi, Li, we meet again, we are very destined."

He took his friend and sat down freely, and Brother Lang stood quietly behind Li Du and slightly turned towards the direction of Fox, where he could attack and retreat or defend.

This is the quality of professional bodyguards. Godzilla and Dao can fight even if they are strong, but they don't know how to protect a person, how to contain risks and prevent crises.

Li Du stretched out his hand in a friendly manner, and said, "What did you see tonight? Can you give me some pointers, as you know, I just entered this market."

Fox said: "It's nothing, I just came here to join in the fun. The main reason is that I don't have much money, not as rich as you."

This is a bit sour.

As he said this, a white man behind him said dissatisfiedly: "Yeah, you are so rich, why do you still come to us to compete for our small market?"

When one complains, everyone follows.

"It's buddy, we all know your reputation, you are a very powerful warehouse auction treasure picker, so why not just do your warehouse auction business well?"

"Do you want to eat it all? Your appetite is a bit too much, right? Second-hand auctions are different from your storage auctions."

"In the past two days, he has traded a lot of things, but they are all scraps, right? What about the losses? Haven't you learned your lesson yet?"

The people around were arguing, Fox watched coldly, and after they had quarreled for a while, he acted fair and said: "Be friendly, my good buddy, Li's joining has strengthened our team of second-hand treasure hunters." , isn't that a good thing?"

As he said that, he patted Li Du on the shoulder and added: "Don't worry, Li, the guys are outspoken and may not sound good, but you really need to accumulate experience. You have traded a lot these two days, but you haven't gained much, right? "

Li Du said with a smile: "I'm just playing for the past two days, and I'm going to spend two million to test the waters."

Hearing this, the faces of the treasure hunters, including Fox, all changed.
