They started to tour the second storage unit. Hans gave Li Du a look and said, "That idiot is probably following us today. Let's kill him?"
That was the reason why the treasure hunters did not dare to follow the bidding of the big shots. Although they knew that the big shots had good foresight and were well-informed, the big shots were scheming and cunning. If they were tricked, they might be done for.
Unless they were looking for riches amidst danger, most of the treasure hunters would still rely on their own judgment to bid for the treasures.
Li Du shook his head and said in a low voice, "This guy is very smart. He won't be tricked so easily. Let's try later. Let me try."
The second storage unit was mostly filled with daily necessities and some random things. They were probably thrown away by the prisoners when they left the prison. The prison guards were too lazy to clean them up and threw them directly into the storage unit.
This storage unit was not worth much. Li Du did not see anything that could sell well. To make money from this, he would probably have to rely on retail sales.
The bidding started and Li Du followed. He made his move early, calling out 2,000 dollars.
After calling out this price, he looked at Princeps.
Princeps obviously knew that Li Du's side would be watching him. He did not hide in the crowd like before, but stood out openly.
But this time he did not bid. He just stroked his mustache and looked at Li Du with a smile.
Li Du continued to bid and set the price at 4,000 dollars, but Princeps did not bid.
At this time, another treasure hunter joined in the bidding. Li Du backed out.
Seeing this, Princeps smiled even more happily.
The auction for the second storage unit ended. Princeps walked past Li Du and smiled contemptuously. "You want to cheat? I won't be fooled. I will only snatch the real high-quality storage units from your hands! "
Li Du looked at him strangely and said, "I don't understand, Princeps. Are you f * cking crazy or something? Why are you always targeting me? "
Princeps smiled proudly and said, "Why, are you afraid? Let me tell you, I will continue to target you. I will always target you! "
Li Du shrugged. "What a mad dog."
"A honey badger, all right," Hans corrected.
Because he had pushed Li Du, Ah Meng had targeted him and was always looking for trouble. Sometimes when he was squatting on the toilet, Ah Meng would jump in from the window and bite him.
There were members of the Tucson gang next to Princeps. One of them said, "Boss, why do we have to provoke this Chinese? We should be making money, right? "
"Shut up." Princeps reprimanded, "I have my own arrangements. I'll follow him and snatch storage units from him. That way, I'll be able to earn money."
The members of the Tucson Brotherhood were a little indignant. Princeps seemed to have lost his mind ever since he started fighting with Li Du. He was determined to go against Li Du, but he did not get anything out of it.
If Princeps was doing this because Li Du had once provoked them, and he wanted revenge and an eye for an eye, then the wild Tucson men were willing to accompany him to fight against Li Du.
However, when Princeps was with Conrad Anthony, he showed all kinds of flattery, cowardice, and tried to please Conrad, which made the Tucson men very dissatisfied. In their hearts, their boss was not a tough guy.
But the Princeps did this precisely because of Conrad. No one else knew what he had been through.
Georges Antoine was a sly old fox. He had come to the Princeps, warned him not to approach Conrad in the future, and had taken money from him.
The conflict between Conrad and Li Du had started with Princeps. After George had investigated, he had gone to Princeps.
The last time Conrad had lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in Los Angeles, he did not have to pay much. George had gone to Princeps and made him pay a large part of the money.
Princeps was furious. He felt that the culprit of all this was Li Du. That was why he was so against Li Du.
The third storage unit was opened. During the bidding, Li Du bid again and waited to see Princeps' reaction.
This time, Princeps still did not bid. He shook his head and withdrew from the auction, but before he withdrew, he said to Big Beard Carl, "This storage unit is worth twenty to thirty thousand dollars."
Twenty to thirty thousand dollars was a small sum to him. It was not worth bidding for unless there was something he was interested in, such as a Taser gun.
Unfortunately, the gun was now in the hands of Princeps.
Li Du did not bid for the next storage units. There was not much value, so there was not much point in bidding.
When it came to the seventh storage unit, Li Du smiled. He gave Hans a look and said, "Take this storage unit."
Princeps had been paying attention to him, but he did not care.
When the auction started, Hans changed his bidding strategy. Like other treasure hunters, he increased the bid by one or two thousand dollars, fighting a protracted battle.
Princeps was a little hesitant, but his face was gloomy. In the end, he still decided not to bid for this storage unit.
He felt that this was still Li Du's scheme. In fact, his goal this time was to snatch a storage unit from Li Du's hands.
Yes, it was enough to snatch a storage unit. He and Li Du had been enemies for so long that he thought he understood Li Du very well. His men said that Li Du was a cunning Chinese. In Princeps' eyes, Li Du was a cunning devil!
In a direct confrontation, Princeps knew that he was not Li Du's match. Hence, he used guerrilla warfare. He learned from the Viet Cong soldiers during the Vietnam War and came and went to harass Li Du.
According to his research, the storage units that Li Du was determined to get were especially valuable. They were often worth hundreds of thousands or even millions.
Hence, as long as he could occasionally snatch a storage unit from Li Du, it would be enough for him to make a profit.
Princeps' strategy was to keep an eye on Li Du in the future to see which auctions he attended. Then, he would blend into the crowd to observe him. After confirming that Li Du was interested in a certain storage unit, he would suddenly make a move and snatch that storage unit.
After snatching it, he would temporarily stop. If he made a move later, there was a possibility that he would fall into Li Du's trap.
The reason why he continued to stay there was to harass Li Du.
In Princeps' eyes, this was the best way to deal with Li Du. This strategy was not thought of by himself. It was taught to him by someone else.
George Anthony was the one who had taught him this strategy.
Hence, although George had extorted a lot of money from him, Princeps did not resent him too much. He felt that the strategy that George had taught him was very useful.
As long as he had the patience to deal with Li Du, he would definitely make Li Du pay the price, and he would definitely make a lot of money.
After Li Du took the seventh storage unit, Princeps slowly walked over and continued to provoke him. "Hey, well done. Now we're even. You've also taken a storage unit."
Li Du could not be bothered with him. He curled his lips and left.
Princeps followed behind him and continued to provoke him. "But this is the only storage unit you can take. The next one, if you bid a higher price for the next storage unit, I will definitely compete with you. I won't let you get anything else."
He was not doing this to be tortured. His goal was to provoke Li Du and provoke his anger so that he would not be able to attend the auctions in peace.
This was also what George Anthony had taught him.
