Chapter 909: 908. Bright Sword (2/5)
Chapter 909 908. Bright Sword (25)
Conrad and his party were quite embarrassed on the outside. He was completely defeated in this confrontation and was bullied by Li Du again.
Li Du didn't think much about it, he rarely provokes people, but as long as others provoke him, he will not swallow his anger, and will definitely repay his complaints with grievances.
The local treasure hunters saw that they had conflicts, and also saw that Conrad and his party were at a disadvantage. What they didn't see was that it was all asked by Conrad and the others.
These people went to Conrad and the others to ask what was going on. Conrad and the others would definitely not take the responsibility on themselves.
Li Du expected this situation, and he also noticed that after Conrad and his party finished speaking, the eyes of these people were very unfriendly to him.
Hans also noticed it, and he frowned and said, "Damn it, these bastards must be playing tricks behind their backs, we have to explain."
Li Du asked: "How do you explain it? We said just now that this is Indiana, this is the east, and we belong to the invaders. The local treasure hunters thought we were here to rob them of their wealth. Can you change their point of view? "
Hans shrugged and said nothing, indeed.
Perhaps after talking about it, Conrad and the others felt a lot better, but they didn't come to see Li Du and the others again. They waited quietly for the warehouse company's door to open.
At 8:30, the weather turned hot, but Indiana is in the northeast of the United States, and it is completely different from Phoenix in the southwest. Although the sun has risen, it is not particularly hot.
To participate in the summer warehouse auction in Phoenix, treasure hunters must bring cold beer, otherwise they will be prone to dehydration and stroke.
Certainly not in Indianapolis, people here are more civilized and polite, of course, this is only for white people, they are not so friendly to people of color.
If anyone drinks at the auction here, they will probably be regarded as alcoholics.
The gate of the warehouse company opened, and treasure hunters swarmed in. A white auctioneer and several security guards came out chatting and laughing, and signaled the treasure hunters to line up to see.
Li Du habitually stood at the back of the line. Immediately, several white men stared at him with unkind expressions, and then went behind him.
Seeing this, he gave a wry smile, getting used to it naturally, he forgot that this is not his home field.
The young man with a dark eye circle noticed it, and said with a sneer, "Hey, you are just a member of the 100,000 Club, and you regard yourself as the king of treasure hunting? Do you want to prepare a throne for you?"
Li Du said calmly, "You were beaten by a kangaroo."
The young man blushed: "Find out the situation, what is it to sneak attack us just now? If you have the ability, come here and try to touch me now!"
"You were beaten by a kangaroo." Li Du remained calm.
The young man gritted his teeth and shouted: "Shut up, you damn bastard, take the beast to the restaurant? You are really uneducated. Are you Chinese people so uneducated?"
"You were beaten by a kangaroo."
The young man was about to go crazy, and a treasure hunter couldn't stand it anymore, and frowned, "Okay, can you stop arguing? Chinese guy, can you put it another way, or do you really want to have a fight here?"
Li Du said: "Let me put it another way, your face was shitted by a raccoon!"
The young man was mad and rushed forward to beat someone, but was stopped by Conrad and others, otherwise he would be expelled.
The door of the first warehouse opened, and everyone lined up to see.
Li Du took a symbolic look at the door, but he had no interest in this warehouse.
The same goes for other people. They also came to sneaker warehouses. These ordinary warehouses don't have much profit, and most of them don't like them.
Of course, not all the people who came to this auction were rushing to the sneaker warehouse. There were still some people who were interested in ordinary warehouses. They had little capital and could not participate in the competition for sneaker warehouses that were destined to be expensive.
At the end of the visit, the auctioneer stood up and began to bid: "Okay, have you finished reading it? I won't repeat the rules. Is there anything you don't understand? Who doesn't understand? Let me explain?"
Hearing what the auctioneer said, Li Du was a little surprised, and said, "Isn't this guy too friendly?"
Auctioneers in Arizona and California talk like rap songs, wanting to spit out a hundred sentences without pausing.
Moreover, those auctioneers will not ask for the opinions of treasure hunters, unlike here, it is like asking questions in class.
Hans shrugged and said, "I told you, the rhythm here is very slow, and the competition among the treasure hunters is not fierce, and the attitude is very friendly."
No one objected, and the auctioneer began to bid: "Then, let's start the auction from 100 yuan. This warehouse is good, and the price will increase by 100 yuan at a time."
"I'll offer one hundred yuan!"
"Hey, two hundred yuan, I can accept it."
"Three hundred yuan..."
The atmosphere of the bidding was also quite relaxed. The price was increased from 100 yuan to 800 yuan, and the treasure hunters who bid for it left one after another, leaving behind the winning bidders.
The process of the next few warehouses was similar, and the auction ended in a very friendly atmosphere. There were no conflicts among the treasure pickers, let alone conflicts.
Finally, Warehouse No. 220 was opened, and the treasure hunters crowded past, impatiently observing the warehouse.
Most people come for it, and they all know that if this warehouse is operated properly, it will be extremely profitable.
Compared with these people, Li Du has an advantage. It's not that Xiao Fei Chong can see the condition of the sneakers, but that Kobe told him the value of these sneakers. The total price is at least two million!
Many of the shoes in it are complete sets. Once they are connected as a set, their value can be increased. There are also many sneakers signed by football stars, and the value will be even higher.
The other treasure pickers don't know, they only know that these are shoes collected by football stars, and they know that the value will not be low, but they don't know exactly how much.
Big Ivan was at the warehouse auction for the first time, and he was curious about everything.
Listening to the discussion among the treasure hunters, he knew the value of the warehouse, and asked, "Why didn't the owner of the warehouse come back and take it away? The money needed to take the shoes must be lower than the value of the shoes, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't bought."
Li Du nodded: "Yes, the reason why Deng Tai-Jones didn't come to buy these shoes is because he is in a lawsuit with the warehouse company, and he wants to take back the shoes free of charge through legal channels."
Don't even think about it. Jones did breach the contract. The boss knows the value of the warehouse and sold it for at least hundreds of thousands. Can he give up this piece of fat?
After the tour ended and the auction started, the white gloves smiled and said: "I can see your expressions, this will definitely be a tough battle, everyone, don't be willing to spend money, because it is bound to bleed a lot to win it!"
"Okay, I'm honored to announce that the starting bid for Warehouse 220 is 100,000 US dollars, and each increase is 1,000 yuan. Now, make an offer!"
Li Du nodded to Hans, and said, "Bright sword!"
