Chapter 312 311. Just Add One Hundred (Monthly Pass 50+)
311. Just add one hundred
Hans also felt strange. After seeing the two of them, he said, "Didn't you go to New Mexico to hang out? Why are you back?"
Carl glanced at Li Du nervously, and then said angrily, "Let's start the auction soon, buddy, are you allowed to chat during the auction?"
Li Du winked at Hans, without further words, the latter understood what he meant.
A total of twenty people participated in the auction, and Hans went to find a treasure hunter and chatted in a low voice.
Soon, he returned to Li Du and said, "There are four warehouses in total, the first three were taken by Karl, this time there are good things? He is determined to get these warehouses."
Li Du smiled and said, "Who knows? When we took down this warehouse, he must have obtained some inside information. At least one of the four warehouses must be valuable."
This also explained why Karl and Rambis showed panic and anxious expressions when they saw the two. They were worried that Li and Du would come to disrupt the situation.
Carl kept urging the auctioneer to start quickly, and the auctioneer said calmly, "There are two guys from the 100,000 club here, let them participate."
Auctioneers pay attention to their own interests, and they want to get a commission from the warehouse auction price, so the more people who come to participate in the auction, the better.
In addition, the treasure hunters of the 100,000 Club are all wealthy people with better vision, better able to discover the value of the warehouse, and more willing to quote.
Carl's urging was useless, and the auctioneer ignored him.
Rambis said dissatisfiedly: "Dude, my brother-in-law is also a member of the quasi-100,000 club, so you're not giving him face by doing this."
A group of treasure hunters looked at him like they were looking at evil pens. The auctioneer said slowly, "Yes, your brother-in-law belongs to the 100,000 club, but both of them belong to the 100,000 club. Who do you think I should take care of?"
"Thank you Holder, we can do it." Hans laughed.
Seeing that the discussion between the two of them was over, the auctioneer raised his hand to make an offer: "You know the value of the last warehouse today, and the starting price is two hundred yuan..."
There are mostly useless things in the warehouse, outdated newspapers and books, missing tables, chairs and benches, and piles of moldy cartons and rotten clothes.
Judging from the outside, this is a garbage warehouse, the kind that treasure pickers are least willing to bid, and the auction is often passed, so the starting price is usually very low.
Hans had this doubt, he chatted with the treasure hunters around him in a low voice, and then came back and said, "It's the same garbage warehouse in front, but Karl took it all."
Li Du suddenly realized that the auctioneer raised the reserve price because he was sure that Carl would take the bid, otherwise the warehouse would only have a starting price of 50 yuan.
Sure enough, as soon as the offer came out, Rambis raised his hand and said, "We."
The auctioneer pointed at him: "The good price of two hundred yuan, two hundred yuan, and two hundred yuan has reached a higher price, three hundred yuan, three hundred yuan, three hundred yuan, how about three hundred yuan?"
The other treasure hunters were full of suspicion. They couldn't see the value of this warehouse, so they didn't dare to bid at will.
Because there was a larger silent auction today, most of the treasure hunters did not participate in the small-scale auction of the monument, and those who came to participate were treasure hunters with little money.
For them, no matter two hundred or three hundred yuan, it is money, and one dollar cannot be wasted.
However, Karl's interest in the warehouse still attracted some treasure hunters, and someone followed the offer: "300 yuan!"
Not to be outdone, Rambis raised the price by another hundred yuan.
Li Du looked at Carl with strange eyes, followed the offer with a half-smile.
The price climbed slowly, and four or five people participated in the quotation, from four hundred yuan to nine hundred yuan.
Rambis shouted 900 yuan, and Li Du immediately followed: "1000 yuan."
Hearing this quotation, the auctioneer was overjoyed, and quickly pointed to him and said, "Okay, the guys from our Hundred Thousand Club offer a thousand yuan, and the price is one thousand yuan, one thousand yuan, one thousand yuan, so who is willing to offer one thousand one hundred yuan?" ?”
Carl's face darkened, and his brows were frowned as if they could kill flies.
The other treasure hunters shook their heads. They were willing to spend three or four hundred yuan to take the risk, but if the amount increased to one thousand yuan, they would not be able to afford it.
Someone said hesitantly: "Guys, Boss Li never runs out. The warehouse he and Karl are optimistic about should be valuable."
"Anyway, I don't see any value in it, and I don't take the risk."
"It's also possible that Karl was disgusted on purpose? The two of them have never dealt with each other."
"I quit. If I get a pile of garbage for a thousand yuan, then I have to sleep in the garbage pile tonight."
Carl gave Rambis a wink, and the latter followed up with an offer: "1200 yuan!"
"1300 yuan." Li Du looked at the two leisurely with his arms folded.
In the future, as long as Rambis bids, he will follow suit, and he will not overquote each time, just quote the minimum price increase within the scope of the rules, one hundred yuan.
Although the price increase is slow, it has been rising, from one thousand yuan to two thousand yuan, and then from two thousand yuan to three thousand yuan.
The treasure hunters gathered suspiciously at the warehouse door to re-watch. They didn't know what was inside, which could attract the two persistent bids.
Carl couldn't bear the pressure due to the constant price hikes. With a twitching vein on his forehead, he stood up and said, "Four thousand yuan!"
One thousand yuan was raised at a time, and the treasure hunters were in an uproar, and someone shouted: "Carl, are you going to reveal your hole card?"
Li Du was unmoved, and before the auctioneer could say anything, he said, "4100 yuan!"
Carl's face became even more ugly. He rubbed his face with his hands violently, and finally waved his hands fiercely: "Let's go, we have already won three warehouses, the chances are high enough."
Upon hearing this, the treasure hunter immediately understood that Carl and the others knew what was valuable in the warehouse!
Immediately someone caught up with them and asked, "Dude, what's in the warehouse this time?"
"Yes, what's there? The auction is over, you can tell the news you got."
"Let's open our eyes, man, what news have you got?"
Li Du also paid close attention to this matter, staring at Carl.
Carl sneered when he noticed, and said, "Okay, let me open your eyes..."
"My brother-in-law has been eyeing these warehouses for a long time. They belong to a guy who once went into a garage and robbed a custom Rolls-Royce of goodies!"
Rambis rushed to say: "The bastard went to jail later, and the things he stole have never been found. We guess he hid them in these warehouses!"
"What good thing?" Someone immediately asked.
Just as Rambis was about to speak, Karl punched him in the chest, and then shouted: "You need to talk too much? Didn't I say that the information is confidential?!"
