Once the bid was made, Dickens and the rest felt helpless.
Li Du had set a base price of 280,000. This was even higher than the base price. What was the use of buying it?
At the end of the auction, Logan got the house and bought it for three hundred thousand.
Li Du looked at Logan, who happened to be looking at him as well. After their eyes met, Logan made a shooting gesture and then smiled slightly.
From this auction, it could be seen how good Logan was. He directly set the base price of the house. 300,000 was the market price under normal circumstances. There was no profit to be made from buying the house at that price.
However, he snatched the house from Li Du's hands. Li Du and the rest had no chance of making a profit.
Hans, who was attending such an auction for the first time, touched his chin and said, "Hey, brother, there's something fishy going on between you two."
Li Du said, "I sent his brother to prison. He probably won't be able to get out in this lifetime."
Hans suddenly understood. "You're still so ruthless."
The fourth house was also a detached house. Li Du's side was still interested. This time, he valued the house at 350,000. When Olly's bid reached 300,000, there was no one else bidding. He was excited and ready to accept the house when Logan made another bid. "340,000!"
The veins on Olly's forehead were throbbing. He slapped his thigh and said fiercely, "D * mn, this old jerk has his eyes on us. He must have his eyes on us!"
Li Du stopped him to prevent him from bidding impulsively.
If Logan was willing to take the house at this price, then let him have it. Anyway, he could not make any money. At most, he could vent his anger.
As long as Li Du and the surrounding treasure hunters did not bid, Logan would not bid either. Seeing this, Hans touched his beard with a thoughtful expression and then left the auction hall.
After two rounds of auctions, Hans returned, but his appearance had changed. He was clean-shaven, and his clothes had changed from thin denim to a large T-shirt. He also wore sunglasses and a hat. For people who did not know him well, it would be difficult to recognize him.
The house that Li Du was interested in appeared again. It was a small villa with a market price of 800,000. The location was good, close to the famous St. Elson High School in Los Angeles.
Li Du personally participated in the bidding. The starting price of the house was 450,000. He directly raised it to 500,000 and then pinched the tip of his nose with his thumb, index finger, and middle finger.
Logan was about to bid, but someone else beat him to it. "600,000!"
He took a look at the bidder. It was an unfamiliar face, and he was not with Li Du. He seemed to be an independent buyer.
Thus, he gave up on the idea of bidding and decided to wait and see.
Li Du followed up with a bid. "Six hundred and ten thousand!"
A house-picker shouted, "Six hundred and twenty thousand!"
The unfamiliar face raised the price again, "Six hundred and fifty thousand!"
Li Du shook his head and backed out of the bidding. The others also backed out. Under the white gloves, he waved his arm and said, "Okay, 650,000. This villa belongs to this gentleman!"
Logan stared at the unfamiliar face for a while, then turned to look at Li Du. The unfamiliar face was chatting and laughing with the people around him, while Li Du was looking down at his phone.
He did not recognize the unfamiliar face, but he recognized the people beside him. The two of them were independent property buyers. They were not house-pickers. When Logan had arrived in the morning, he had even chatted with them for a while.
With this, he was relieved. The unfamiliar face was obviously an independent property buyer. He must have come for this villa.
However, as the auction went on, the unfamiliar face bid again. He bid a few times, and each time he bid, the price was higher. In total, he took down four houses.
Logan finally noticed something unusual. When it came to the last big villa, although Li Du did not participate in the bidding, Logan still made a bid.
The unfamiliar face tangled with him until Logan bid 1.7 million, which was close to the market price. Only then did the unfamiliar face shake his head and give up. He took off his sunglasses and walked to Li Du's side. "Four houses. Not bad, right?"
"Big Fox, you're amazing. You've gained a lot more than we did during our first auction." Olly laughed and gave a thumbs up.
Seeing this scene, how could Logan not guess what had happened?
He also walked to Li Du's side and smiled. "Good move, Li. No wonder people call you the cunning Chinese."
Li Du said, "Who called me that? I'm flattered. I didn't even know I had such a nickname. "
Logan poked his chest a few times with his finger and laughed. "You're lucky this time. You took away a few houses. Next time, believe me, next time I won't be so naive."
He had paid too much attention to Li Du that day and did not guard against any strangers. Li Du had used a small trick to make a profit. Obviously, he would not do that again in the next auction.
Taking the four houses with them, Li Du and the others left. Logan stood where he was, looking at their backs with a vicious and venomous gaze.
A house-picker said cautiously, "Wolf King, you can't make money by taking down the houses at such a price. You can't teach the Chinese a lesson by doing this."
Logan turned around and smiled. His expression changed and became much gentler. He smiled and said, "Do you have any ideas?"
The house-picker shook his head and said dejectedly, "There's no good idea. This guy is too cunning."
Logan smiled and said, "Then I can only use this stupid method. I may not make much money, but I won't lose much either. It will be a long battle. If they don't get anything for a long time, they will naturally quit this business. "
After a pause, he looked at the other house-pickers sincerely. "But to achieve this goal, I can't do it alone. This requires the strength of all the house-pickers in Los Angeles. We have to unite to deal with these invaders until they get out of Los Angeles!"
Abel, who had suffered at Li Du's hands, said worriedly, "But isn't it too risky for us to buy houses at the highest price? If there's a problem with the house, it's easy to lose money. "
He had snatched a house from Li Du. It turned out to be a termite house. Later, he and his partner had searched the house carefully and found that the floor, walls, and wooden furniture had been bitten by the termites. They would have to pay a lot of money to get rid of the house.
Logan smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about that. I have a way to ensure that we don't have to take the risk. However, I can't say it out loud. I hope everyone will trust me. As long as you trust me, you will definitely not lose money!"
Hearing that, a house-picker responded excitedly, "No problem, Wolf King. We will listen to you. We must chase these country bumpkins back, right?"
In the current atmosphere, even if some house-pickers did not want to get involved in this mess, they could not object. Hence, amidst the voices of agreement, the anti-Li alliance was formed.
