Chapter 1237 1237. Unprecedented (15)

In small towns like Fort Davis, there are generally no professional warehouse companies, because the land in such places is not valuable, and everyone can build a house in the backyard as a warehouse.

But Fort Davis has such a warehouse, which is aimed at astronomy enthusiasts, mountaineering enthusiasts and students-because the observatory on the mountain is affiliated with the University of Texas at Austin, students will often come here.

Li Du knew that the University of Texas at Austin, which is a world-renowned school, has a great reputation in the United States and is a member of the Ivy League.

There are eleven warehouses for this auction, which is already a lot for a small town with a population of only 2,000 people.

Because the owners of the warehouse are basically astronomy enthusiasts and mountaineering enthusiasts, the chances of producing good goods in it are not low.

Especially the warehouse leased by astronomy enthusiasts, if such a warehouse is auctioned off, treasure hunters will often be very interested.

Fort Davis is a stargazing resort, and enthusiasts often come and go more than a dozen times a year, with a high frequency. In this case, they will store some things in the warehouse for convenient travel.

The auction source that Luguan found was very high-quality. Li Du went to the warehouse company to have a look while he was strolling, and the results were very exciting.

There are not many warehouses, and there are quite a lot of treasure hunters who are attracted, especially after discovering that Li Du is also here, the treasure hunters who came later began to look forward to this auction.

At the end of early February, at ten o'clock in the morning, the auction officially started.

Normally, the auction starts at nine o'clock. There is no clear rule, but it has been agreed upon, and in this leisurely town, the agreement is not easy to enforce.

No. 40 or 50 treasure hunters from Wu Yaya came to participate in this auction, and the warehouse door was not opened for a long time, so they were inevitably upset.

Finally, the owner of the warehouse company came and he was the auctioneer himself, saving a piece of the fee.

Seeing him put on white gloves, the treasure hunters immediately clamored: "Hey, man, did you stay up all night fighting with the girls last night? Are you here at this time?"

"I said, can I have a sense of time? Look, what time is it?"

"I dare say this guy may have gone to tinker with the warehouse. Looking at the records, I don't trust him."

Li Du said to Hans: "The people of Dezhou are really irritable."

Hans said, "Of course, this is Texas, buddy."

The reason for saying this is because although the treasure hunters were only complaining, their tone was extremely strong, and someone pointed directly at the warehouse owner's face and yelled.

The boss didn't care, he opened the door slowly and said, "What's the rush? Guys, enjoy life with peace of mind."

His attitude caused the grumpy treasure hunters to complain again, but Li Du smiled: "I like this rhythm."

The rhythm of the town is really slow, suitable for relaxing in this kind of place.

The warehouse door opened, and the boss signaled everyone to line up to visit.

He didn't urge the treasure hunters to hurry up and start the auction like in other auctions. There is almost no time limit here, and the treasure hunters can stay and watch as long as they want.

The boss didn't drive people away, so the treasure hunters could only drive each other away, otherwise the auction wouldn't be able to go on.

Li Du stood at the back, and a treasure hunter didn’t know him. He glanced sideways at him and muttered, “Who is this bastard? Standing at the back with a big face, is he a rookie? Doesn’t he know the meaning of that seat?”

Most people still know Li Du, and his name is becoming more and more famous in the circle of treasure hunters. Even in Texas, some people know him through photos and friends.

Hearing what the treasure picker said, someone next to him immediately warned him: "Shuster, if I were you, I would just shut up and get out of here as far as possible. That's Du-Li, from Arizona. Take the lead bro."

The treasure picker who complained earlier was taken aback. He secretly glanced at Li Du fearfully, and ran away obediently, keeping Li Du far away.

There are two main reasons why Li Du is most famous in the circle of treasure hunters. One is that he almost never misses, and the other is that he is a man who will take revenge.

Treasure Pickers' official website has a forum, and treasure pickers from all over the United States hang out in it.

There are some posts introducing Li Du in the forum, and one of the posts counts the conflicts Li Du encountered at the auction since his debut.

There is a summary of these conflicts at the end, all of them are the person who provoked Li Du was overturned by a car, and Li Du had the last laugh unharmed.

Now, Li Du is the image of a generous leading brother in Arizona, but he is a fierce star in other states.

There is nothing wrong with this, and it can help him at the auction.

The first warehouse started shooting, and the boss snapped his fingers and said, "Okay, you guys are finished reading. I don't know what's in it, but it must be worth money. I have confidence in my warehouse, so five hundred yuan."

Unlike other auctioneers who speak like a cannonball, even if the boss starts hosting the auction, he is still not in a hurry, and the pace can be slow.

Li Du also snapped his fingers and shouted, "One thousand yuan!"

Hearing his quotation, the auctioneer smiled, pointed at him and said, "Okay, this guy offered a thousand yuan, what's his number? Hold your number higher, very good, number 15, then who would like to bid more?" What about the high price? One thousand one hundred yuan?"

As a result, no one bid!

Li Du was quite surprised. There are tents, tables and chairs, and barbecue grills in this warehouse. More importantly, there are two boxes carefully wrapped in oilcloth. It looks quite attractive, but no one is interested?

It was sold for 1,000 yuan, but no one really bid on him, which made him a little depressed. If he had known earlier, he would not have doubled the bid. The reason why he doubled it was because he thought that there were many people who were interested in this warehouse, and he didn’t want to Caught in a bidding tug of war.

After passing two warehouses, he reached the fourth warehouse. He bid again, but no one bid with him. After he made an offer, the treasure hunters shrugged and left.

This abnormal situation made him a little dazed, and he couldn't help but ask, "What's going on?"

Hans said: "It's very simple. There are two types of treasure hunters here, our Arizona guys and Texans. You know, our guys won't bid with you, and Texans don't want to provoke you, so no one will follow you." bidding."

"They know you have money," Dickens explained. "They can't take away the warehouse you fancy. Even if they bid, it's just to cause you some trouble, but they obviously don't want to provoke you, so they simply don't compete with you."

After understanding the relationship, Li Du laughed: "I am a little flattered, but aren't the people of Texas very brave and tough? Why are they afraid of me? I am a Chinese."

Hans said: "This is an auction. Everyone is here to make money, not to fight for sentiment. If you want to experience the toughness of the Texans, then I suggest you scold them."
