Because there was no bidding process, although there were many people, everyone still had the opportunity to line up at the door to see the details of the warehouse.
Li Du and Black Mustang were at the end of the line. They were all treasure hunters and qualified to do so.
The treasure hunters from Phoenix and Flagstaff stared at Li Du. He was their pillar of support, their leader in making money. Now that their pillar of support had appeared, they naturally chose to rely on him.
Li Du knew what was in the warehouse. After looking at it, he quietly shook his head, meaning that there was no need to bid.
A cardboard box was brought out. Everyone had some paper in their hands, marked with their name, warehouse number, amount of money, and phone number. After filling it out, they put it in the box. In the end, whoever paid the most would get the warehouse.
Li Du was not the only one who saw that the warehouse was worthless. Other treasure hunters with a little insight could also see that, but there were still people who were willing to bid. They wanted to take a gamble.
After all, this was a large warehouse. There were many things in it, but very few could be seen with the naked eye. The treasure hunters were betting that there were valuable things hidden in the warehouse.
Li Du released the little bug into the box and looked at every bid that fell. He could completely control the bidding.
The treasure hunters were still very cautious. The highest bid for this warehouse was 5,000 dollars, so there would not be a big loss.
This also had something to do with him. Not only did the treasure hunters from Phoenix and Flagstaff pay attention to him and listen to his instructions, but other treasure hunters also had the same idea.
When Li Du shook his head, the treasure hunters who noticed him lost confidence in the warehouse. Seeing that he did not give a bid, the treasure hunters lost confidence even more. Therefore, this warehouse was destined to not be sold at a high price.
The one who bid 5,000 dollars was Princeps, who liked to cast a wide net. His gains were all based on luck. Li Du was very impressed. This kind of person not only did not go bankrupt, but also had a steady stream of money to participate in the bidding.
The second warehouse was opened. Compared with the first one, the things in this warehouse were of some value. If you were willing to work hard, you could make some money by clearing this warehouse.
After looking at it, Li Du walked to the side of the Flagstaff treasure hunters and whispered to Big Beard Carl, "Bids within 10,000 dollars, do as you see fit."
Carl was very excited, nodded vigorously, took out the bid book, and quickly filled in a number.
Li Du guessed that he would directly fill in 10,000 dollars. Their goal was to make money. As long as they could earn something, it was fine. They did not have to earn the most.
The door of the third warehouse opened, and a few guns appeared on the wall. Mauser pistols, Colt M1911, Beretta M1934, Webley VI revolvers!
These four guns could be said to be the four famous pistols of World War II. Their appearance gave the treasure hunters a lift.
But these four guns should be models. The warehouse manager looked at them carefully and then left the warehouse.
The treasure hunters heaved a sigh of relief.
If there were any exposed weapons in the warehouse, the manager would need to confiscate them and send them to the local police station for supervision. This way, the value of the warehouse would naturally decrease.
The treasure hunters valued this storage unit very much because, in addition to the pistols hanging on the walls, there were also some military flags and old military uniforms scattered around.
The cloth of the flag was more or less worn, and it looked very old. The scattered military uniforms were even more old and simple. When they were combined with the pistol model, it was easy to think of the world war more than half a century ago.
World War II!
The treasure hunters' breathing quickened. Their target was the Tiger Tank, which had a close relationship with World War II. There was no trace of the Tiger Tank in this warehouse, but it was possible that it existed.
The warehouse was too big. Although the Tiger Tank was also very big, it could still be hidden in a warehouse that covered an area of 200 square feet.
The treasure hunters from Flagstaff and Phoenix looked at Li Du. They did not have high hopes for the Tiger Tank, because they knew that if there was such a tank in the warehouse, Li Du would never let them have it.
They would not compete with Li Du. If the tank's existence was obvious, then they were not as rich as Li Du. If the tank was well hidden and Li Du did not remind them, then they would not be able to find the traces and would not be able to bid for it.
In short, regardless of whether they could see the tank or not, they could not compete with Li Du. It was better to sell well and follow Li Du obediently.
But this warehouse was not easy to grasp. They did not see any traces of the tank. Everything inside was very messy, and there were a lot of shelving. But there were some things that fit the atmosphere of World War II.
The treasure hunters all knew that the owner of the Tiger Tank warehouse was a veteran of World War II. He would not only have the Tiger Tank in the warehouse, but there were definitely other things!
Li Du stood at the door and frowned as he stared at the warehouse. The treasure hunters stood around and stared at him.
After looking, he took a deep breath and shook his head slowly. Seeing this, the treasure hunters sighed with regret.
But when it was time to start bidding, Li Du wrote something on a piece of paper and stuffed it into the box.
The treasure hunters who were paying attention to him were confused. What was the meaning of this? Was there a tank in this warehouse?
After a difficult decision, the treasure hunters began to act. Some followed Li Du and put the bidding paper into the box, while others hesitated and left.
The fourth warehouse was opened, and some strange things appeared.
There were no military flags or uniforms in this warehouse, but there was a strong smell of diesel. There were a few maintenance boxes placed randomly on the ground, and some maintenance tools were scattered around.
"D * mn, where is the tank?" someone could not help but mumble.
"There was no tank in the last warehouse. The tank must have the smell of engine oil. This warehouse is worth the risk, guys, let's go!"
"God bless, I'm stuck this time!"
There were still many people staring at Li Du. Li Du still hesitated and put the bidding paper into the box. Then, more bidding papers were put in.
Eleven large warehouses were opened one after another, and the bidding ended. But the tank did not appear, at least not completely.
Next was the medium-sized warehouse. The treasure hunters did not think that the huge tank would be stored in a medium-sized warehouse. It would be too crowded.
Therefore, they continued to participate in the auction and discussed at the same time, guessing where the tank would go.
A medium-sized warehouse labeled 142 was opened. There were many boxes piled up in front of the door. It looked like it had not been opened for a long time, and the boxes were covered with dust.
These boxes had the logo of disinfectant, and when the warehouse door was opened, there was a strong smell of disinfectant. The treasure hunters covered their noses with their hands, and there were not many people interested in the warehouse.
Li Du went to take a look, but there was nothing much to see. There were too many boxes piled up in front of the warehouse, and it blocked people's view.
The bidding began in twos and threes. Li Du waited in silence. When the bidding was almost over, he took out a bidding paper, wrote a number on it, and put it into the box.
