Chapter 282: 281. Arabs (Monthly Pass 32+)

"Everyone must be aware of this warehouse. If you are interested in it, come to me. The price of this warehouse is 500 yuan, 500 yuan, 500 yuan..."

There are really few valuable things in the warehouse. Although the price of 500 yuan is low, the treasure hunters are unwilling to accept it.

Li Du resisted the urge to quote directly, and he scanned the surroundings calmly, wanting to see the situation.

The treasured sword that suddenly appeared on the TV made him very restless, but he had a faint feeling that something was wrong, and this feeling was very uncomfortable.

He didn't make an offer, but someone did. A man dressed as an Arab said, "Five hundred!"

This Arab man is about forty years old. He is dressed in white and has a short beard. He has a pair of blue eyes and his skin color is white, but judging by the lines on his face, he is definitely an Arab.

The auctioneer pointed at him and said, "The good five hundred yuan and five hundred yuan have already been sold, so who is willing to offer six hundred yuan, six hundred yuan, six hundred yuan?"

A treasure picker hesitated for a moment and said, "Six hundred yuan!"

"The price of 600 yuan has reached, then I will call 700 yuan, 700 yuan, 700 yuan?"

The treasure hunters were obviously not interested in this warehouse, and they all shook their heads to express that they would not participate in the bidding.

At this time, the Arab bid again: "Yes!"

The auctioneer nodded and said, "How about a good price of 700 yuan, 700 yuan, 700 yuan, and 800 yuan, 800 yuan, 800 yuan?"

There was no treasure picker to pay, so Li Du followed up with the quotation: "I will offer 800 yuan!"

The Arab gave him a surprised look, then frowned.

Li Du, who had been looking at him out of the corner of his eye, jumped in his heart, and guessed that the Arab also knew the existence of the sword.

But who put this precious knife in? This puzzled him a lot.

The Arab followed up with the quotation, and the price reached 900 yuan. Seeing this, Li Du hesitated for a while, and made another quotation to 1,000 yuan.

In this way, the two quoted prices one after another, and the price increased from one thousand yuan to two thousand yuan.

This abnormal scene attracted many treasure hunters, including Andrew, who were attracted by the two who insisted on the offer.

Treasure pickers are not fools. As soon as this scene of someone insisting on an offer occurs, they know that there must be something valuable in the warehouse, but they have not found it.

The price of 2,000 yuan was not high, and Andrew participated in the competition with a sullen face. As soon as he got out, other treasure hunters also participated in the competition.

In this way, the price rose from 2,000 yuan to 5,000 yuan in no time.

The auctioneer was confused, but as long as he could sell at a high price and make more money, he would be happier, so he called the price without hesitation, and his emotions were high.

The treasure hunters were also confused, and someone asked, "I said buddy, why did you bid?"

"I don't know. Anyway, everyone is bidding, and the price is not too high. I have to try."

"What about you brother, what did you see?"

"I don't know man, I didn't see anything, I just saw a bunch of crap and everyone was bidding and so was I."

Seeing this, Li Du frowned and stopped bidding, while the Arab had an ugly face and continued to pursue the bid.

In this way he was sure that the Arabs knew the existence of the sword!

Unknowingly, the price climbed to 10,000 yuan, and the number of bidders finally decreased. As early as when the price reached 5,000 yuan, Andrew withdrew from the competition.

The Arab raised his hand and shouted again: "Ten thousand and one hundred!"

The auctioneer did not encourage the treasure picker to bid as before, but looked at the Arab and said, "Hello, sir, according to the rules of the storage auction, I need to check your eligibility to participate in the auction, and I hope you can cooperate."

The Arab was taken aback for a moment, and then asked, "What are the qualifications for participating in the auction?"

The auctioneer said: "Please take out your bidding procedures and prove that you can pay 10,000 yuan."

The Arab frowned and said, "What does this mean? Why do you want to check mine?"

The auctioneer shrugged and said, "Because I'm seeing you here for the first time, and I've seen other people many times. I need to make sure that you have the ability to pay the quotation for this warehouse and not maliciously speculate."

Li Du asked in a low voice: "What is this for?"

Hans said: "As the auctioneer said, prevent someone from maliciously raising the warehouse price, or prevent someone from making trouble, bidding casually and eventually running away."

Li Du understands the latter possibility. If someone bids a high price but fails to pay in the end, the warehouse company will have to start the auction again.

And the treasure pickers will not wait here all the time, and they will leave when they realize that they have nothing to gain. In this way, few people will participate in the re-auction, and the warehouse is easy to pass the auction.

He didn't understand the first possibility, and asked, "The higher the warehouse price, the more the auctioneer and warehouse company will reap. Isn't that a good thing?"

Hans said: "Of course not, this is to maintain the industry. Just like the owner of the lot at Christie's auction cannot bid, this is to prevent warehouse companies from maliciously speculating prices in order to obtain high profits."

The Arab's expression became gloomy, and he said coldly: "Sorry for refusing to accept your investigation, I think it's unreasonable."

The auctioneer said: "Trust me man, I'm doing things according to the rules, so where is the security?"

Hearing his shout, four security guards in charge of maintaining law and order came over with sticks in their hands.

The Arab pointed at the auctioneer angrily and said, "You are racist!"

The more he refused, the more vigilant the auctioneer became, and said, "I repeat, I followed the rules, but if you think this is racial discrimination, you can sue me, please show proof!"

The Arab gave him a hard look, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, good, bastard, you're causing trouble!"

The auctioneer said: "Please show proof, otherwise I can only ask you to leave."

The Arab shook his fist angrily, and shouted, "Damn it, I don't have a gun with me and all my money is in the car! I swear I have money, I have enough money!"

The auctioneer said: "I only look at you, if you can't prove it, then you have to leave here, otherwise I will call the police!"

Hearing this, the Arab cursed a few words, then ran away, saying: "I'm going to get the proof, you stop the damn auction, stop it!"

When the Arab left, the auctioneer sneered and said, "I've already seen that there is something wrong with this bastard. Ten thousand yuan, ten thousand yuan, ten thousand yuan, who is willing to pay a higher price?"

Li Du raised his hand and said, "Eleven thousand yuan, oh no, ten thousand and one hundred yuan!"

The auctioneer ignored his subsequent quotations and shouted directly: "Who can bid a higher price for a good eleven thousand yuan?"

The appearance of this farce brought the treasure hunters back to calmness. They bought a warehouse for more than 10,000 yuan that they could not see any valuables, and they would not make a move in a calm state.

After shouting '11,000 yuan' three times, the auctioneer pointed to Li Du and said, "Okay, this warehouse is yours!"
