Chapter 876 875. Off to a Good Start (45)

The four of Li and Du stayed together, and the others were separated by some distance.

Each of them is a star here, and the four of them together are a superstar combination.

Of course, in the eyes of everyone, Li Du and Hans are not as wealthy as Johnson and Bell, but everyone knows their potential and ability, so they treat them with the same respect.

After chatting together for a few words, the four separated.

Hans smiled and said, "It's a great feeling, have you noticed everyone's eyes? I bet they want to join us."

Li Du said: "It feels better to make money, let's go, get ready to enter the market."

He used the word "approach" because the Department of Public Services was so good at it, they even laid out a red carpet in front of the warehouse.

In this way, treasure hunters enter the warehouse like a star walking a red carpet.

Moreover, the Ministry of Public Service invited some media to report on this auction, so cameras and video recorders were supported on both sides of the red carpet, making it more formal.

After all, young people like to stand out. Conrad Anthony was the first to walk on the red carpet. A group of Tucson gangs surrounded him, and the always proud head of state followed behind him like a follower.

Li Du felt that there was no need to pretend to be forceful in such an occasion. There were too many people coming to the auction, and it was estimated that one or two thousand people would be no problem. The auction later will be interesting, and it will definitely be very noisy.

Similarly, what is the difference between a red carpet that has been stepped on by one or two thousand people and a rag?

But when he walked on the red carpet, he found that this thing was almost like a rag. It was probably a second-hand product used in some previous event, and it was used for waste this time.

It doesn't cost a lot of money to lay out the red carpet, but it can also enhance the style and attract attention. The Department of Public Services and the state government probably have this wishful thinking.

But they didn't consider that treasure pickers are not celebrities, how can they have any experience of walking the red carpet? Besides, there are too many people, and there is no way to arrange everyone to walk in gradually.

Therefore, as soon as the warehouse door opened, the crowd crowded in noisily.

The Ministry of Public Service united with the police department to be responsible for order, and they arranged for strong police officers to guide the crowd. However, the crowd was too chaotic and too many people came, and the police were unable to keep up.

The police in Arizona are also very individual. When they saw that they could not guide the crowd, they simply quit and watched the excitement with their arms folded.

You have to line up at the warehouse door to enter, and someone is here to conduct security checks. After all, it is a large-scale auction, a large-scale gathering. It would be interesting if someone brought a machine gun in and fired in circles.

When entering the warehouse, someone delivered a brochure.

Li Du opened it and understood. The Department of Public Services uses photo auctions. Of course, large auctions are like this. Otherwise, there are so many people queuing up to visit, and it would take a whole morning just to visit a warehouse.

He flipped through some brochures, and the photos inside were very clear, but certainly not as secure as they looked in person.

The auction allows visitors to visit the warehouses. The first warehouse is opened first, and everyone can queue up to visit, but there is a premise that all treasure hunters who visit the warehouse must bid later.

That is to say, the state government does not allow everyone to visit the warehouse. The function of the booklet is to eliminate it. The treasure hunters first look at the goods in the booklet, and those who are interested in the goods can visit the warehouse.

The stipulation that visitors must bid is to prevent people from cheating.

Li Du was standing in the crowd beside the queue, and Oli squeezed beside him and asked, "Boss Li, how is this warehouse?"

"Yes, Boss Li, what do you think, do you want to go in and have a look?" Reeves also said.

The little flying insects had already flown in, and Li Du had roughly checked the warehouse before, but at that time, because of time and energy, he looked at it more casually.

Putting the little flying insects in again to confirm the situation of No. 1 warehouse, he beckoned, and all the treasure hunters from the flagpole city gathered around him.

Reaching out and clicking on the photo on the first page, Li Du whispered: "Look here, here is a box, the box logo belongs to Foster's violin, I guess there are goods in it, within five thousand yuan, this warehouse has value."

Little Flying Insect went in and looked. There were many boxes in Warehouse No. 1. There was a piano box in it. There was a violin in the box, but it was blocked by other boxes, so it was difficult to notice.

Even if the box was noticed, not everyone would dare to bid, because no one knew if there was a violin in it.

Li Du knew that there was a violin inside, and it was from Foster Company, the most famous manufacturer of handmade violins in Britain.

After hearing his words, the bearded Karl joined the crowd first. He turned around and winked at his companions, and said with a smile, "I'll make the first move, guys, go to the next one."

There was an agreement between them. Li Du introduced valuable warehouses, and everyone took turns to bid for them. Regardless of the value, they should not be jealous of each other.

Ollie said helplessly: "Oh, damn it, let this guy take the lead."

At the beginning of the auction, a little old man in white gloves stood on a high plastic platform holding an electric horn and shouted: "Listen, listen well, don't talk too much about the rules, don't go into details. Those who are interested will let me see your hands in the future and start the auction and get ready..."

Hearing the sound like a cannonball, Li Du couldn't help laughing. He hadn't heard such words for several days, and he really missed them a little.

There are more than forty people who are interested in Warehouse No. 1. They lined up to visit, and immediately shouted with white gloves after the end:

"Well, Warehouse No. 1 is starting to bid. The starting price is 500. 500. The value of 500. I won't say much. There may be a box of gold in it, or it may be a box of shit. Anyway, if you are interested, just bid - 500!"

"Me!" The bearded Carl was the first to bid.

"Okay five hundred five hundred five hundred five hundred, then has anyone offered a higher price..."

"501 yuan!" "502 yuan" "..."

"I'll offer six hundred yuan!"

"I'll offer seven hundred yuan!"

"Eight hundred yuan!"

"A thousand dollars!"

The price rose rapidly, and soon approached two thousand yuan.

The bearded Karl stroked his beard and shouted directly: "Three thousand yuan!"

He made a big price increase, and the treasure hunters hesitated immediately.

The white gloves didn't have time for them to think. He pointed to Carl and shouted: "This guy offered three thousand three thousand three thousand and no one else offered more than three thousand one hundred?"

No one made a sound, and the white gloves waved happily, and said, "Okay, the guy in No. 0118, this warehouse belongs to you! Open the second warehouse, and it's the old rule that anyone who is interested will come and have a look!"

The bearded Carl punched hard. Li Du gave him a reserve price of 5,000 yuan, and he saved 2,000 yuan. This was a successful auction.

The other treasure hunters in Flagstaff City were also very happy. They didn't make any money when Li Du was away, but now that Li Du is back, the first auction got off to a good start.
