Chapter 85 85. Mahogany and Chinese Porcelain
"Obviously everyone is very interested in this warehouse, so the starting price is two hundred yuan, two hundred yuan, two hundred yuan..."
This price belongs to the middle-lower level among the starting prices in the warehouse. After hearing the quotation, Reginald frowned and said to the people around him: "The starting point is so low?"
"Either the old man doesn't know the value of this warehouse, or the warehouse company doesn't think it's worth much. I think the latter may be bigger. Is this really a diamond warehouse?"
Several people stared at Li Du and Hans, they didn't fully trust Hans' words.
However, some people are willing to take risks, and some people have no brains. They don’t even know that Hans sent the news. They only know that the news they got is accurate: there are books to cover it, cotton cloth to protect it, and Chinese paintings...
Therefore, as soon as the price came out, someone immediately began to follow the price: "Me, me, me! Two hundred yuan here!"
"Two thousand!" A middle-aged white man wearing sunglasses said loudly.
The bidding price was directly increased ten times. Everyone looked together in surprise. Li Du saw that this man raised his head and eyes towards the sky to give people a chin. Who is it?
"As expected of a guy from the 100,000 Club, he is so rich and dares to bid!" Hans said, "What should we do? It seems that we can't make any money today, damn it!"
"It's not because of you. From now on, control your mouth that spits out horse urine!!"
Li Du said this angrily, then walked through the crowd calmly and looked at a young man, nodded and touched his mouth.
After he did this, the young man immediately raised his hand and shouted, "I, I, I, two thousand and one hundred yuan."
There were people around who were paying close attention to Li Du. Seeing his small movements, these people immediately bit their ears with their partners.
Seeing his price increase, Fan Tianyan snorted, raised his hand and shouted again: "Twenty-five hundred yuan!"
The auctioneer was overjoyed and shouted: "The price here is 2,500 yuan, 2,500 yuan, then 2,600 yuan, 2,600 yuan, is there anyone here?"
"OK!" A middle-aged woman with red hair followed suit.
More people began to follow the price: "Old Humphries, three thousand!"
"Very good, three thousand three thousand three thousand..." the auctioneer shouted.
But before he finished speaking, someone interrupted immediately: "Three thousand and five hundred yuan!"
"The three thousand five hundred..."
"Five thousand yuan!" Someone interrupted him again.
Seeing this, the auctioneer was overjoyed, he simply stopped talking and let the treasure hunters raise the price by themselves.
Li Du touched his chin, and a young man said loudly, "5500 yuan!"
A group of people who watched him started to fight: "Six thousand!"
"Six thousand five hundred!"
"..."
"Ten thousand yuan!"
"... 20,000 yuan!"
After continuously raising the price, the price quickly rose to 20,000 yuan. Finally, Li Du nodded vigorously after some consideration, and the young man shouted: "21,000 yuan!"
When the warehouse reaches the price of 20,000 yuan, it is a watershed moment. Everyone needs to think about it carefully, check it out, and think carefully before daring to bid.
But the young man made an offer without hesitation, and the atmosphere of the meeting was hot and chaotic. People who had been paying attention to Li Du and Hans insisted on his offer: "Twenty-two thousand yuan!"
Seeing this, Li Du grimaced and shook his head and walked back, Hans cursed dejectedly: "Go and grab dog shit, I'll help you find a septic tank!"
The withdrawal of the two did not cool down the bidding action, and the crazy offer continued:
"Look at me, twenty-three thousand yuan!"
"..."
"I must take it today, thirty thousand yuan!"
"..."
"Fake, follow me to grab the warehouse? 50,000 yuan!"
Andrew, who had turned the sky, spit out his chewing gum with a domineering expression on his face.
Humphries, the auctioneer, was about to faint with excitement. He had a hunch that today's warehouse income could be worth his work for a month.
Andrew's quotation was a bit high, and the fiery atmosphere began to cool down. Everyone looked at each other and hesitated.
Seeing this scene, Li Du sneered and said, "Xue Te, you Americans lack the spirit of bright swords."
"These guys are not stupid, idiots have already been eliminated." Hans said.
However, shopping malls are like battlefields, and some people are still willing to take risks. Reginald gritted his teeth and said, "55,000 yuan!"
"Fake, you are really good at Gouwei!" Andrew sneered.
Reginald didn't look at him, just stared greedily at the warehouse.
He has been away from the storage auction for a while, and he really needs to fight a good victory.
Last time he planned the contest between Li Duhans and Andrew, which was originally an opportunity, but unfortunately he was still deceived by Li Du and lost that opportunity.
This time, Reginald didn't want to miss the chance to regain his strength!
For the value of the warehouse, every treasure hunter has his own measurement in his heart, and there is a reserve price. If it exceeds this price, he cannot follow it anyway.
This is the golden rule summed up by everyone with money and tears. Andrew is an old treasure hunter of the 100,000 Club, so he naturally feels deeply about it.
Fifty thousand yuan was his reserve price, and after Reginald made an offer, he withdrew with a sullen face.
Others didn't even follow the price. The auctioneer shouted: "55,000 yuan, 55,000 yuan, the price of 55,000 yuan has arrived. This is an unprecedented opportunity, so is there anyone else to offer? 56,000 yuan, is there anyone?"
Some shook their heads, some shrugged, and some backed away. This is the price limit.
Auctioneer Humphries shouted: "55,000 yuan for the first time! 55,000 yuan for the second time! 55,000 yuan for the third time! Deal, this warehouse belongs to you!"
He grabbed Reginald, as if afraid that he would run away.
Reginald's expression was excited and nervous. He knew that this was a gamble. If he won, he would turn around and even fly into the 100,000 club. If he lost, he would be miserable.
He locked this warehouse, and everyone started to go to the second warehouse.
Old Humphries unlocked the warehouse door and said, "Come on, guys, line up or a group of four and take a closer look to find the treasure inside!"
The warehouse was neatly packed, and there was a set of furniture wrapped in cotton cloth, including cabinets, cupboards, tables and chairs, and so on.
All the furniture is in Chinese style, carved with dragons and phoenixes, and waterlines with cloud patterns, simple in style and beautiful in shape.
The cotton cloth did not cover every corner of the furniture. Some of the exposed parts were maroon with straight texture, some were jet black with small cracks, and some were reddish yellow with rainline texture.
"This is mahogany furniture! Look, that's the Chinese Taishi chair!"
"The black one is ebony, and the reddish-yellow one seems to be called huanghuali wood?"
"Chinese mahogany furniture! Maybe it's still an antique, take it down!"
After the visit, Humphries offered a reserve price of 1,000 yuan.
This time the reserve price was higher, everyone's enthusiasm for competition was greater, and it reached 20,000 yuan in a few minutes.
At this price, Li Du and Hans, who only got two offers, shook their heads and withdrew from the crowd.
The value of mahogany furniture may not be as good as that of Chinese porcelain, but it is easier to identify, easier to determine the value, and the risk of investment is smaller.
Therefore, the auction bidding of the Redwood Furniture Warehouse was more intense, and the final transaction price was higher than that of the China Porcelain Warehouse, which was 85,000 yuan.
The third warehouse was opened, and treasure hunters flocked over to take a look, and were immediately stunned!
