Chapter 679 678. Interested (25)

These words are too irritating, Chi Guoguo is bullying people with money!

But this is the dream of every treasure hunter. It is what they look forward to most when they enter this industry to be able to say "I took a few million to test the water" so lightly.

Li Du was not in the mood to argue with these people, let alone compromise and befriend them.

When working as a warehouse auction treasure picker, he needs to do this because he wants to work in this industry for a long time, needs the support of other treasure pickers, and cannot be isolated.

But he entered the second-hand auction market not to make a lot of money, but to let the little flying insects absorb energy, and he didn't have to befriend the local treasure pickers.

The other treasure hunters murmured unconvincedly, but Li Du pretended not to hear, teasing Ah Miao Ah Ao and Gan Crispy Noodles to play there.

Like the Hessman Auction House, the rule here is that the auction starts when the sun goes down.

However, the auction house did not strictly abide by it. After all, this is in a room, and the light is not so sensitive.

When the sun was about to set, some white gloves walked onto the stage and said quickly with a smile: "Another auction has begun. Welcome old and new friends to Foye Auction. I am Wesley Foye, today's auctioneer. ..."

Hearing this, Li Du asked Hans in a low voice, "Is this also from the Foye family?"

After inquiring about the local situation, Hans said, "Yes, it's Suradi's cousin. The Foye family is a big family, especially the cousin side. It is said that there are hundreds of people."

Old Foye married an Indian, and the Indians had a complicated relationship, and after marrying one, almost the whole tribe was related to him again.

This relationship is of great help to the local second-hand trade. After all, this is the territory of the Indians. With the support of the Indian tribes, many times even the government has nothing to do.

The auction officially started, and the first lot to be brought to the stage was a motorcycle.

"This is a heavy-duty locomotive with a displacement of 600cc. It adopts an inline four-cylinder design and is water-cooled for heat dissipation. The maximum power of the engine is 60kw at 11,000 rpm, and the maximum torque is 55nm at 8,000 rpm. It can be as fast as the Flash... "

"But be aware that the weight of this bike is 220kg. Yes, it's 220kg. My good guys, this is a beast for tough guys. So if you don't have a tough body, stay away from it... "

The auctioneer continued to introduce the car, said some parameters and other things, and gave the price after the introduction. The starting price of this car is 1,200 yuan.

Hans likes to play with motorcycles, Li Du asked him, "How about this car?"

"It's far worse than my Hell Alien." Hans snorted.

The Hell Alien is the motorcycle that Li Du picked up from the warehouse. It was given to Hans at that time, and Hans loved it very much.

However, the U.S. prohibits modified motorcycles from being used on the road. Hell's alien modification is too powerful, and it is even more impossible to go on the road, so he can only enjoy himself on the road in the wilderness at night.

This is an ordinary motorcycle, which was assembled by someone and sent to the auction house. The price is cheaper than a new car. If it is a new car, the power and configuration will cost 3,000 yuan.

The auction started, and there were many interested people who bid enthusiastically:

"Thirteen hundred!"

"One thousand three hundred and fifty!"

"Fifteen hundred..."

Li Du is not interested in motorcycles, he is interested in the bidding process.

The auctioneer attaches great importance to these customers who stay on the second floor. When introducing motorcycles, he keeps looking up, and when he listens to the price, he also pays attention to them.

When quoting, at first there were people below who shouted the price, and then the price increased, and the above people were more involved in quoting.

In the end, the motorcycle was sold at a price of 1,800 yuan, and the one who got the motorcycle was a young man on the second floor.

The second lot is a set of handmade furniture, a complete set of chairs, tables and coffee tables, cabinets.

This set of furniture was carved from oak wood, which was more valuable. The starting price was also 1,200 yuan, but the price quickly doubled to 2,400 yuan.

According to the auctioneer, this piece of furniture comes from an Indian tribe, and it is not a second-hand item. It has just been built and is completely new.

This is the point where Foye's auction house has an advantage over Hessman. They are very close to the Indian tribes, and they can get some interesting handicrafts from them. Americans like this kind of artificial things very much.

The final transaction price of the furniture was 3,500 yuan, almost twice as high as the auction price.

The Indian who made the furniture was also here. He was very satisfied with the price and told the middle-aged black man who won the auction that he would give him some matching gadgets, which were made from leftover materials when making furniture.

Several lots were taken out in a row, none of them were unsold, and all of them were sold.

But Li Du didn't make a move, Fox next to him was paying attention to him, and asked halfway: "You don't like these things, do you?"

Li Du said: "No, I can see it, but it is of no use to me."

Fox shrugged and said, "Of course, you are someone who drives a luxury car and lives in a luxury house and can throw away millions at will. If I'm worth tens of millions like you, then I don't like it either."

Li Du heard that there was something in his words, so he stopped talking to him.

Fox ate a soft nail, and could only turn around resentfully.

Next, before the curtain was raised, a piece of music blared.

The sound of the music is very clear, pleasant, and very famous. This is an episode of the movie "The Graduate". Li Du has heard it countless times when he was in China.

With the sound of the music, the curtain slowly opened, and a big golden speaker appeared in front of them. Below the speaker was a turntable and a beautiful brown-red wooden box. As the turntable turned, singing came out of the speaker.

"Gramophone!" Li Du said subconsciously, and then released a small flying insect to fly over.

In the first half of the 20th century, the phonograph seemed to be a cultural symbol of the upper class in the West, bringing out the elegant taste of the owner.

This can be seen from the movies and TV shows that reflect those eras. Not to mention the United States, this thing was also popular in China at that time. In the film and TV dramas introducing Shanghai in the 1920s and 1930s, there must be gramophones.

The auctioneer's high-pitched voice sounded: "The following is an old machine that can talk, the masterpiece of Thomas Alva Edison. I think everyone knows enough about it. I don't need to say more. Come on, everyone, please start bidding. , the starting price is 2,000 yuan..."

In recent years, with the popularity of retro home decoration, classical gramophones have been welcomed by more and more families. Regardless of American design or European-style home furnishing, they all like to use classical phonographs to enhance their style.

Therefore, after the auctioneer bids, although the price is high, there are still bids.

Li Du asked Hans: "This phonograph is a traditional phonograph, right?"
