Chapter 562 561. Bottleneck Period (5)
After the auction was over, Dickens and Lu Guan led people to clean up the two warehouses.
The main thing to clean up is the second warehouse, which is full of boxes of books, there are thirty or forty boxes, and Godzilla and Dao are working hard.
Chalmers came over to have a look. He didn't see anything unusual, so he walked to the door of the first warehouse, and then said with a smile, "Dude, do you think there's not a complete set of things inside?"
Dickens gave him a surprised look and said, "Oh, no."
Li Du leaned against the door, he didn't care what was in the warehouse, in fact all of this was his arrangement.
In the beginning, Luguan who came to inquire about the tables, chairs and furniture in the warehouse, and Dickens who followed the inquiry, they were all arranged by him, and today's auction, and even the treasure pickers who came today were almost all arranged by him.
He purposely gave Chalmers the chance to hold a community storage auction, but the ulterior motive was not for the furniture, but for the magazines in the warehouse.
All the plans went smoothly, which made him quite fortunate. In fact, in his opinion, this plan could easily go wrong. As long as Chalmers contacted Rick the dog, his plan would be over.
Fortunately, as he expected, Chalmers was stingy. In order to avoid being borrowed by his cousin, he didn't tell him about his warehouse.
Otherwise, with the dog-eared Rick's sophistication, it's easy to tell that Lu Guan and Dickens' visit is a trick. As long as he visits a few warehouses, it's not difficult to find the full set of magazines.
For Li Du, it was a little unsportsmanlike to do so. He didn't want to do this at first. He thought about spending money to buy magazines for collection.
As a result, Chalmers didn't give him the chance, and even bullied him with Dog Ears.
After hearing Chalmers' meaningful question, Li Du looked towards the warehouse, and then he saw something was missing in the warehouse.
One piece of antique furniture was missing, there were six chairs, a table and two small cupboards, but one chair and one small cupboard were missing.
Dickens didn't find anything missing because he didn't know what was in it, he was just following orders.
Finding that a chair and a cabinet were missing, Li Du asked, "It's the furniture. There's something wrong with the whole set of furniture, right?"
Chalmers coughed and said with a smile: "Your eyes are very sharp, Chinese. Yes, the furniture here is not complete. There is a chair and a cabinet that are not inside."
Dickens came to his senses and said, "Fack, you actually moved the warehouse and separated the complete sets of furniture inside?"
Chalmers laughed slyly, and said, "Don't be impulsive, buddy, I did it, but I didn't violate the rules, did I? It's your lack of eyesight that didn't notice the lack of furniture."
Dickens was furious, and said, "You're a villain, to be honest, I seldom call a person that, but you are a villain!"
Chalmers didn't care about his title, he spread his hands and said, "I did it openly and aboveboard. It's because your vision is not enough. If you found two pieces of furniture missing just now, you don't have to bid."
He apparently did this because of a previous casual remark by Dickens that the furniture had to be put together in order to be worth anything, otherwise it would be worth half.
Li Du motioned Dickens to calm down, and he asked, "You packed up those furniture. It seems that we have to spend extra money to get these furniture, right?"
Chalmers smiled proudly: "Yes, but because we are business partners, I can give you a preferential price..."
"No need, keep it for yourself." Li Du interrupted him, then turned and left.
Originally, he felt a little bit sorry for taking away the magazine from Chalmers.
Now, seeing this guy's behavior of being a philistine and slandering the petty citizens, the knot in his heart has been untied, and he doesn't feel that there is anything wrong with what he did.
Li Du's departure didn't make Chalmers care. The warehouse was in the hands of Dickens, and his target was Dickens, so he asked, "I'll give you a preferential price..."
As a result, Dickens said in a more crisp tone: "No, you can keep it."
Chalmers was stunned, and he was surprised: "What do you mean? Don't you want to form a complete set of furniture to maximize its value?"
At this time, there is nothing to hide. Dickens said: "I have no idea. The one who really paid for the warehouse is Li, that is, the Chinese guy. If he says no, then he won't."
After hearing this, Chalmers felt more and more strange about this matter, but he couldn't figure out where the problem was.
Li Du didn't ask him to show off the "National Geographic" magazine. The truck carried the magazine back. He went to an Amish carpenter to order a batch of oak bookcases, and the matter was over.
This set of magazines belongs to him, not to the company he formed with Hans, and he can collect them by himself.
There are too many magazines, and he really wants to display them all in the bookcase, but there is not enough space in the camp hut, and the house he rented at Luo Qun's house is not enough space either.
There are twelve magazines for nearly one and a half centuries, which is 14,500 books, and the "National Geographic" of the second half century is so thick that it needs a special room to store books.
In this way, Li Du has the idea of buying a house, and he needs a house.
Da Ao's house is ready, and he plans to renovate it. If he buys a house now, he can catch up with Da Ao to renovate together.
Hans tried to sell these sporting goods with star signatures. He found someone to estimate the price, and concluded that the price was not easy to estimate.
These things depend on the source of customers. If you meet a customer you like, you can offer sky-high prices. If you can't find a suitable customer source, it will be worthless.
However, after separate valuations, the value of these sporting goods is very optimistic, especially the Yankees' baseball ball trainer, which has the highest unit price and can sell for 200,000 yuan!
The second is the golf clubs signed by Tiger Woods. There was a sporting goods auction held in Manhattan, New York last year, and a set of similar clubs sold for a high price of 140,000.
From this auction, it occurred to Hans that he also wanted to hold an auction of famous sports products. They had enough things in their hands, plus some other things, enough to support a small-scale auction.
Li Du took out all the books, sorted them by time, and put them into a new storage box. In the next few days, he continued to search for valuable warehouses.
But there are not many warehouses with full value, especially now that his vision is broadened and his heart is high, he doesn't even want to look at warehouses with a profit margin of less than 10,000 yuan.
In this way, he searched for a few days and looked at some warehouses, but found nothing.
