Chapter 377
Rick's 60,000 yuan is already close to the transaction price of the last warehouse, but for warehouse No. 42, this price is only the starting price.
For Warehouse No. 41, the reason why everyone dare not quote freely is that they cannot be sure of the authenticity of the furniture inside.
When it was the turn of Warehouse No. 42, the treasure hunters were more confident. Everyone identified the furniture through their own channels, and the results were very optimistic:
The furniture inside is made of mahogany, and the precious small-leaf rosewood on these small beds can sell for 20,000 yuan per bed!
Therefore, after Rick called out the price of 60,000 yuan, someone immediately followed:
"Sixty-one thousand dollars!"
"Sixty-two thousand!"
"Sixty-four thousand!"
"Seventy thousand yuan!"
The treasure hunters took the initiative to bid, and there was no need for the auctioneer to preside over it. He just stood at the door with his arms folded and looked happily.
Hans said: "Everyone is crazy, you did a good job."
Li Du said: "Don't worry, with Harris here, others can't get this warehouse."
Harris is extremely greedy, and he has money. As long as he is sure that the warehouse can make money, he will definitely let Rick take it.
Another point is that different people have different valuations for this warehouse. The more channeled and well-connected treasure hunters are, the higher the price they can sell, and the higher the valuation.
Rick and Pol's valuation of the warehouse will exceed that of ordinary treasure hunters, and their bids will be higher than the reserve price of ordinary home security personnel.
Li Du called the price twice, and helped the warehouse reach 80,000 yuan. At this price, he shook his head and withdrew from the auction, and most of the treasure hunters also withdrew.
As he expected, the last ones left were Pol and Rick again.
Eighty thousand yuan was within Boer's acceptable price. Not only did he find someone to identify the mahogany furniture, but he also made a valuation by the way, and the estimated price was 120,000 to 150,000.
So as long as it is less than 100,000, he is willing to bid.
Rick also asked a friend to estimate the price, and the estimated price was also around 120,000. Harris gave him instructions that he could make money within 110,000.
In his opinion, a profit of 10,000 yuan is not a lot. In the previous auctions, several warehouses may not be able to earn 10,000 yuan.
The two began to compete, bidding from 80,000 yuan to 90,000 yuan.
Harris stared at Pole and York with knife-like eyes that seemed to be eating people.
Seeing that there was only one bidder left in the end, he wanted to play tricks, winked at the two Indians under his command, and arranged for them to deal with Ball.
After Rick noticed it, he quickly grabbed him, and whispered: "Don't mess around, Harris, this is our ally!"
Harris said impatiently: "The ally who is going to step on the horse, what kind of **** ally is this? The ally who cut off our money?"
Rick didn't want to offend Pole and York. Harris didn't belong to this industry. He could mess around unscrupulously, but he couldn't.
Especially in his opinion, Boer is not the opponent, but Li Du is, and he wants to cooperate with Boer to deal with Li Du.
If Harris finds someone to beat Bohr or threaten them, then the two sides will really become mortal enemies, and they will never die when they meet in the future.
In this way, he pressed Harris, walked over to Pohl and whispered: "Man, you already have a harvest from the warehouse, why don't you let this one out?"
Bohr rebelliously said: "Dream, who would think that making too much money?"
Rick was furious, but he had to suppress his anger and explained: "The guy with me is an Indian villain. He wants to get this warehouse. If the bidding continues, he may do something to you."
Boer sneered and said, "Are you threatening me?"
"No, that bastard can do anything, I want to be friends with you, Frank, you know, I'm really thinking about you!" Rick said patiently.
York remembered the dogleg knife that Harris took out in the coffee shop earlier, he pulled Pohl and said, "Forget it, forget it."
After all, Arizona is not their home court, and Ball is grumpy but not fearless.
After thinking about it, he could only compromise, and left the warehouse with a gloomy face.
Rick went back and smiled at Harris, saying: "There is no need to use violence, I settled them."
Pointing to the two, the auctioneer said, "Now the price is 86,000 yuan, 86,000 yuan, 86,000 yuan, so is anyone willing to bid a higher price, such as 87,000 yuan?"
Rick and Harris were waiting for no one to quote before accepting the warehouse, but at this moment Li Du's voice sounded: "90,000 yuan!"
Hearing his offer, the two of them couldn't hold back the evil fire in their hearts and began to churn. Harris looked at Li Du with even more ferocious eyes.
But apart from being able to intimidate the opponent with his eyes, he couldn't find any other way.
Even he didn't dare to offend Li Du, if Li Du really found a backer and ran to their casino to smash the scene, then Marin would kill him!
Rick suppressed his anger and roared, "Ninety-one thousand dollars!"
Li Du shrugged and said he withdrew from the bidding. He was just prodding the two of them, but he didn't really want to compete with them for the warehouse.
The auctioneer pointed at Rick and Harris again, and shouted: "Is there anyone who has offered a higher price for the price of 91,000 yuan? Is there anyone? Then I will say 91,000 yuan for the first time..."
After three offers, the warehouse belonged to Rick.
Warehouse No. 43 was opened, and mahogany furniture appeared again.
The treasure hunters became agitated, and precious mahogany appeared in three warehouses in a row, which is abnormal no matter how you look at it.
The auctioneer also wanted to use the strategy of the previous warehouse, taking two steps back to allow for a closer look.
The mahogany furniture in this warehouse is still difficult to see from the outside. The price rises slowly during the auction, but everyone is still competing.
Warehouse No. 44 is also a pile of mahogany furniture, and some of these furniture are fake. Li Du wants to expose the truth here.
The best way to identify fake mahogany furniture is to rely on the power of time. As time goes by, the mahogany on the surface and the hardwood inside will gradually separate, and the glue will fail, and they will fall off.
However, this time is very long, usually in units of ten years. Li Du and the others naturally couldn't wait, so he released the bug to let the bug absorb the energy of time.
Warehouse No. 43 eventually fell into the hands of Harris, and the transaction price was lower than that of No. 42. They won the furniture for 75,000 yuan.
Finally, Warehouse 44 was opened.
Seeing a pile of mahogany furniture again, the treasure hunters hesitated. They began to realize that there might be problems with these furniture. According to common sense, no one would throw away so much real mahogany!
The auctioneer took two steps back and said, "The tour begins!"
The treasure hunters lined up to enter. When someone approached the furniture, they secretly reached out and touched it as before. This is one of the means to identify the material of mahogany.
As a result, as soon as someone touched the wooden table this time, a wooden board with clear texture suddenly fell from the side of the table, revealing a completely different color and texture behind the tabletop...
