After more than ten rounds of bidding, the price reached 240,000 dollars. The bidder was a house picker who was working for Logan.
At this price, there was no profit to be gained from buying the house. Olly could only give up the competition.
Li Du was not interested in the second house. Olly bore a grudge against the house pickers who had snatched the house away from him. When another house picker started bidding, he followed suit.
The starting price of the house was the same as before, 120,000 dollars. A few ordinary buyers joined in and raised the price to 150,000 dollars.
Logan's man raised his hand and shouted, "152,000 dollars!"
Olly said coldly, "160,000 dollars!"
His purpose was to raise the price. Li Du had not told them about the house, but they had seen it together. The house was not much different from the previous one. It should be worth more than 200,000 dollars.
Therefore, Olly was prepared to withdraw when the price reached 200,000 dollars. However, he did not have the chance. When he shouted 160,000 dollars, the other party shook his head and withdrew from the auction.
Olly was surprised and pleasantly surprised to have won an unexpected house for 160,000 dollars.
However, Li Du shook his head secretly. This house was a loss. Olly might lose it. As the house was self-built, the materials used were very poor. He had only bought a piece of land. The house itself was worthless.
After Olly succeeded, he came back excitedly and asked, "Big Li, how was my deal?"
Li Du thought for a moment and said, "Well, you didn't lose out. However, I'm afraid you won't be able to make money. The quality of the house is problematic. It will take a lot of effort to sell it. "
The reason he was not willing to let the treasure hunters buy the house was that it was not easy to resell the house. It would hold back their funds.
For house pickers, the circulation of funds was very important. A house could easily cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Unless they were very rich, it would be difficult for them to do business in the future.
The third house was not bad either. Li Du valued it at 360,000 dollars.
Dickens participated in the bidding for the house. After some bidding, the price of the house reached 355,000 dollars. Logan's team showed their determination to win. They were the ones who made the bid!
At this price, there was no point for Dickens to buy anymore. He could only stomp his feet and withdraw from the bidding.
The battle was very fierce. Li Du had never experienced such a thing before. He actually lost!
After that, the auction continued, but they still had no harvest. Logan's side was determined to compete with them to the end. Even if the price had reached the bottom and there was no room for profit, they still wouldn't give up.
If the treasure hunters were angry and wanted to bid on some houses that Li Du felt were worthless, Logan's team would stop bidding once they started bidding.
He didn't manage to get the house he wanted, but he did manage to buy a few houses he didn't want. When the auction ended, Li Du helplessly realized that he had lost completely!
A few treasure hunters, accompanied by an agent, went to settle the property and money transfer procedures. Li Du frowned and was about to leave when Logan came up to stop him.
Looking at Li Du, who was frowning, Logan seemed to be enjoying some beautiful scenery. He said slowly, "I've said it before, everyone has to be responsible for what they've done. Are you ready?"
Li Du shrugged and said, "I'm always ready, but I don't know what I've done that I need to be responsible for, because I've been through too much."
Logan sneered and said, "It's useless to be stubborn, Mr. Treasure Hunter Tycoon. You may be a tough character in the storage auction industry, but this is not a storage auction, and it's not Arizona. You'd better not enter this kind of place again, unless you're confident that you're richer than all the house-pickers in California combined!"
Li Du said, "You've been in this industry for a long time. You're an expert, aren't you? Then you must know that the houses you've bought have no chance of making money. "
Logan said disdainfully, "It's not up to you to decide whether there's a chance of making money or not. You're just a rookie. This industry is very complicated, man!"
"Besides, so what if we can't make money? You can't even get a house, and you think you can make money? I'd like to see how long these fence-sitters around you will follow you after they realize that they can't make money! "
Turis went up and pushed him away. He said angrily, "Then you wait and see. But before that, look at yourself first. Ha, who do you think you are? Do you think you're the emperor of California? Ha, b * stard, let's see who has the last laugh! "
Seeing that Turis had made a move, the house-pickers flew into a rage. Dozens of them surrounded him and shouted with righteous indignation.
"Hey, country bumpkins, how dare you fight here? Where do you think this is? "
"Apologize or be beaten to death! No, you can't just apologize, you have to compensate! "
"Son of a b * tch, get out. Buddy, let's kick these sons of b * tches together!"
"Chinaman, look over here. Come and eat my words!"
Hearing the last sentence, Li Du glanced over coldly. He pushed the people in front of him away and walked toward the man, his expression as cold as ice.
Having traveled far and wide for a long time, and having fought tough battles with his bodyguards, Li Du's temperament was very different from before. When he walked toward someone with such a cold expression, he had a different kind of elegance. The few house-pickers in front of him felt it and instinctively took a step back.
Brother Wolf followed closely behind, his eyes fixed on the man who had insulted Li Du.
The house-picker was afraid. As he retreated into the crowd, he pretended to be tough and shouted, "You want to fight with us? Get ready to go to the police station! "
Most of the house-pickers did not dare to stop Li Du. Logan had no choice but to do it himself. He stood in front of Li Du and looked at him arrogantly. He said, "What's the matter? Your people can attack me, but my people can't say a word?"
Brother Wolf pushed Logan away and Li Du suddenly sped up. The house-pickers only saw a blur before Li Du pushed a few people away and rushed toward the house-picker who had insulted him.
The two of them got closer and Li Du raised his hand. The house-picker instinctively covered his head, but Li Du did not hit him. Instead, he smiled and reached out to straighten his clothes for him. He said softly, "Remember this, don't regret it."
With that, he patted the house-picker on the shoulder, then waved and said, "Guys, let's go!"
The house-pickers heaved a sigh of relief and raised their middle fingers and shouted arrogantly. However, this time, no one dared to directly scold Li Du and the treasure hunters.
As they walked out of the Housing Authority, Li Du's brows were still furrowed.
Hans asked, "What's the matter? Are you upset about today's loss? You're used to winning. Actually, it's nothing, buddy. At least we didn't get cheated. We don't have to make money at every auction. "
Li Du smiled and said, "I know. Do I look like someone who can't afford to lose? I just feel that we've really been cheated! "
Olly and the rest went through the procedures and walked out with gloomy expressions. Someone asked them what was going on. Olly said angrily, "We've been cheated. Those sons of b * tches must have known that there's something wrong with these houses. They just revealed some information."
Dickens said in a low voice, "D * mn it, I hope it's fake!"
Li Du said, "Don't worry about that. We just need to know what we're doing."
