Chapter 90
Elsewhere in April, it might just be spring.
In Phoenix, it's already a hot season of the season.
Americans like to give their cities nicknames. New York is called the Big Apple City because everyone loves it. California is called the Golden State because of the discovery of gold mines. Phoenix is called Sun City. From this, you can feel the temperature of the city.
At nine o'clock in the morning, before the warehouse auction, the two arrived in a hurry.
The Ford pickup truck was so bad that the garage was unwilling to overhaul it, until Hans got angry and couldn't fix it for him this morning.
The Monument Warehouse Company is relatively large and attracts a large number of treasure hunters. After getting off the car, Li Du looked at the crowd of at least 80 people, shook his head and said, "Xue Te, I'm going to sweat a lot today."
It was already hot, but with so many people gathered together, it was naturally hotter.
After the two got out of the car, there was a brief commotion in the crowd, and then someone came to say hello:
"Hi, Boss Fu, hi, Li, I saw you on TV two days ago, you are handsome."
"It is said that you carried out a massacre in Flagstaff City a few days ago?"
"Reginald and Rambis are not going to do storage auctions anymore, what's going on?"
"Who said I don't plan to do storage auctions anymore? Don't spread rumors, damn it, I will definitely join the 100,000 club!" Rambis walked out of the crowd after hearing this voice.
Following him was a middle-aged man with a cowboy hat and a mustache. After seeing the two, the middle-aged man with the mustache curled his lips and showed a contemptuous and cold smile.
Hans said: "Yes, don't spread rumors. How could Rambis give up the charity auction, a good job that best reflects his kindness? Be a good guy and donate more money. The slums of America need you."
"Vacco!" Rambis raised his middle finger at Hans angrily.
The middle-aged man with a mustache said slowly: "Boss Fu, when did your tongue become so fluent? It seems that you have licked asses for girls a lot."
Hans is not afraid of anyone in a verbal fight, he rolled up his sleeves and was ready to spout.
Li Du stopped him and shook his head, and said in a low voice, "I don't think there's something wrong with this guy, so ignore him for now, making money is the most important thing."
The middle-aged man with a mustache didn't want to let them go, and said, "Make money? Do you want to make money from Phoenix? Don't be so naive, boys, I know what you want to get, but I bet you can't get what you want."
Since Hans could find out that there were Ferrari parts in the warehouse, there would naturally be others who could find out about it. Looking at it now, the middle-aged man with a mustache is one of them.
Li Du said: "Do you dare to bet? Do you like to bet? Very good, I happen to be a gambler too, so how about this, let's have a try?"
The mustache spat at him disdainfully, and said: "I like to bet, but why should I bet with you? What qualifications do you have to bet with me? When have you received a profit of 100,000 yuan, come to me again. "
Lanbis added: "That's right, idiot, what right do you have to bet with my brother-in-law? He is a quasi-100,000 club member, and he will join the 100,000 club next time we meet. What about you? Do you think you are the king of picking up treasures?"
Li Du didn't bother to pay attention to him, and said with a smile: "There are still members of the quasi-100,000 club? Xuete, it's really a little demon with a strong temper, and the pool is shallow."
The auction started, and the auctioneer beckoned and said, "Come to visit and start arguing, go out and quarrel, don't waste our time here..."
Li Du knew that the first two warehouses were worthless, but he still had to put on a show.
Hans shined a flashlight at the door and said, "Those are coils of wires, right? It's a pity that they are wrapped in plastic and the material cannot be seen. I guess they are copper wires..."
"There's a suitcase in there that's in good condition. Do you think the master will store anything of value in it? Maybe we'll try it?"
"There's so much trash, damn it, we don't have that much space in the car, will there be Ferrari parts in this warehouse?"
Li Du shook his head and said: "I don't think there will be. This is an ordinary home warehouse. If you want to take it down, I think 1,000 yuan is feasible, otherwise you won't make a profit."
Hans said: "No, within 2,000 yuan is feasible. Those wires are probably copper wires, which can be sold for 1 yuan per meter. There are many wires here, and the value is close to 2,000 yuan."
At the end of the visit, the auctioneer raised his hand to make an offer: "Okay, now we're starting to grab bids, so I'll first bid 200 yuan for the warehouse, 200 yuan, 200 yuan..."
"Me!" Hans nodded.
"Very well, the 200 yuan quotation is over, then 300 yuan, 300 yuan, 300 yuan..."
"1000 yuan!" Mustache said coldly, crossing his arms.
The auctioneer pointed at him and said, "Very good, 1,000 yuan, 1,000 yuan, 1,000 yuan, then..."
"2000 yuan!" Hans interrupted him loudly, looking at the mustache with provocative eyes.
The others stopped talking, just watching the excitement with a smile on their faces.
Mustache made a singing gesture to him: "Idiot, take away this rubbish, two thousand yuan? I think you also plan to contribute to the slums."
The auctioneer looked at the crowd: "Is there any more for 2000 yuan, 2000 yuan, 2000 yuan? So, is there any more for 2100 yuan, 2100 yuan?"
Everyone shook their heads, obviously this warehouse is not worth so much money in their eyes.
The deal was worth two thousand yuan, Hans shrugged to Li Du and said, "This guy is much better than Rambis, not so foolhardy."
Li Du smiled and said, "So, we have to be careful when fighting him."
The person next to him said: "Can the things in this warehouse sell for four thousand yuan? Not necessarily, why are you two so happy?"
Of course Li Du was happy. Judging from the auction in this warehouse, the treasure hunters no longer followed them to bid, and they finally survived the early days.
Of course, it was also possible that what he had done in Flagstaff had frightened them.
The value of the second warehouse is not much different from the first warehouse, the starting price is still 200 yuan, Hans shouted 300 yuan, and the mustache immediately shouted: "1000 yuan!"
Hans shook his hand: "This time the warehouse is yours."
Rambis said arrogantly: "You don't want to take anything away from us!"
Li Du was speechless: "Are you the fighting pen invited by the monkey?!"
The third warehouse was opened, and the treasure hunters immediately became interested. There should be quite a few people who knew that there were Ferrari racing parts hidden in the warehouse this time, so the appearance of the third warehouse made the scene even hotter.
Li Du raised his eyebrows at Hans after seeing it, and the latter whispered, "Inside?"
"Warehouses are valuable anyway."
The auctioneer noticed the change in the mood of the crowd and said: "I think everyone has seen the value of this warehouse, so if you want to take it, please come to me and start bidding now. The starting price is 2,000 yuan, 2,000 yuan, 2,000 yuan..."
"Fake, the starting price is so high?!" Someone immediately became dissatisfied.
But more followed the quote:
"2000 yuan! Yes!"
"2500 yuan, here!"
"I'll offer 3,000 yuan!"
"..."
"10,000 yuan!" Hans also stepped in.
