As soon as the bid of 100,000 was called out, the auctioneer picked his ears. Even someone as knowledgeable as him was shocked by the bid.
For such a large number of storage auctions, as long as there was no clear indication of the value, the bid would get lower as time went on. That was because treasure hunters would be less enthusiastic and less interested in auctions.
Take this auction for example. When the auction started yesterday, there were thousands of people there. Today, there were only 500 people left. Some of them were there to watch the show and broaden their horizons.
Hence, the bid of 100,000 was shocking. Up until now, this storage unit had been the highest bid!
What was even more shocking was that this bid was made by an unknown Chinese man.
Perhaps Li Du had some fame in the storage auction world in Flagstaff, but in the Los Angeles area or even the West Coast of America, he was not famous.
Even if he did not make any money from this auction, he had still gained a lot. His confrontation with Frank had made him famous. Now, his story was circulating in the storage auction world in Los Angeles.
Hearing the bid of 100,000, Frank hesitated. York stopped him and shook his head. "Forget it, there will be a chance for revenge later."
Hearing this, Frank got angry again. He shouted at the top of his lungs, "F * ck you, I'll bid 110,000!"
Li Du evaluated in his heart. The most valuable items in the storage unit were the props from the movie Troy. Other than that, he did not see any other valuable items.
But those props were props after all. They were not the real antique weapons from the Battle of Troy. They could at most sell for about 100,000. It would not be worth it to continue bidding.
Yes, he had bid 100,000 not because the treasure hunters had guessed it was because he had judged that this storage unit could sell for more than 100,000.
If he could buy this storage unit without losing money, he was willing to do so. After all, this could dampen Frank's spirit.
But now the price was too high. He shook his head and backed out of the bidding.
The auctioneer saw him shake his head and was too lazy to continue bidding. He pointed to Frank and said, "Alright, buddy, this storage unit belongs to you. 110,000 is the highest bid. You're really good …"
Frank made a gangster's throat-slitting gesture at Li Du. His gaze was sinister and his posture arrogant.
Entering the next warehouse, York suddenly stopped when he passed by Li Du and the others. He said, "We have underestimated you."
Li Du looked at him expressionlessly and did not say a word.
York smiled and said, "Just now, your bid was very aggressive, but we got it."
"110,000 for a warehouse. Is there any gold in it?" Hans sneered.
York shrugged. "When we won the gold storage unit, someone said the same thing as you. Afterward, he regretted it so much that he started crying."
Li Du finally said, "If there's gold in that storage unit, I'll cut off my own head and give it to you!"
"But that storage unit is indeed worth 110,000 dollars. Do you think I'm here to show off? No, I'm here to show off. "York smiled." It's a pity that you don't know what's inside. You'll regret it. "
Li Du rubbed his chin. He understood something from York's words.
Perhaps the other party knew the ins and outs of the warehouse and knew that there were props for the Troy movie inside.
In other words, their bids were not just for battle qi.
There were some musical instruments in storage unit 29. Warner Brothers had made many movies about singing and dancing.
Li Du was very interested. The musical instruments in this storage unit were real and could be worth some money.
He did not bid, but told Turis and the rest to bid. After all, he had to let his followers earn some money.
This time, the bid stopped at 5,000 dollars. Seeing that Turis was about to get it, Frank made another bid. "10,000 dollars!"
Li Du looked at him suspiciously. He could not guess whether Frank was bidding because of the battle qi or because he had discovered the hidden musical instruments behind the shelves.
Turis made a bid, and Frank chased after him. The price rose to 20,000 dollars again.
With that, Li Du shook his head and gestured for Turis to back out. Bidding for this storage unit for more than 20,000 dollars would be a loss.
For the next four or five storage units, as long as someone from Li Du's side made a bid, Frank and his followers would bid, and they were very determined.
The treasure hunters could see that, and soon, someone said, "Li, you guys are going to have nothing to gain from this."
"Frank and his people are very rich, buddy. You guys can't win against them."
"It's not a good idea to offend Frank. You guys are doomed!"
Li Du's expression was solemn, and he looked helpless about the current situation.
Turis and the rest did not mind. Reeves even patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, Li. At least we've broadened our horizons. This is also a big gain."
"Yeah, Li, don't worry about it. Not every storage auction will have a gain," Olly comforted him.
Li Du nodded slowly and said, "I know what I'm doing, buddies. Frank wants to fight, right? Fine, let's fight! I want to fight him head-on! "
Hans knew him too well. Once he heard that, he immediately understood what he meant. He said in a low voice, "Hey, buddy, it's not that easy to trick him! This guy is more experienced than us, and he's also more cunning. He knows all kinds of tricks! "
Turis also knew what he was planning, and said, "If you want to trick him by making a false bid, then you might fall into a trap yourself!"
Li Du said, "I know what I'm doing, buddies."
Storage unit 34 was opened, and he personally came to make a bid, directly raising it from 1,000 dollars to 5,000 dollars.
From the outside, there was nothing valuable in this storage unit, only a pile of rubbish. Even if he bought it for 1,000 dollars, it would be a loss.
However, Li Du knew that there were some very beautiful crystal chandeliers in the box. They could be sold for some money.
Frank followed up with a bid of six thousand dollars.
Li Du raised the bid to 10,000 dollars, and then glanced at Frank out of the corner of his eye.
Frank decisively pulled away. He did not make another bid, and instead sneered and shook his head. "Idiot, 10,000 dollars for a pile of rubbish! Trying to trick me with a price war? Idiot! "
Li Du had a better idea.
Storage unit 35 was opened, and he began to deploy his plan.
There were two motorcycles in this storage unit, painted black and white, with the word "POLICE" on them. They seemed to be police motorcycles.
For movie fans who were familiar with movies produced by Warner Bros., these two motorcycles were not unfamiliar. They were Kawasaki 1000cc police motorcycles. They were very famous and had appeared in the movie "The Terminator."
In "The Terminator," there was a scene in which the T-1000, who had traveled through time, pretended to be a police officer and chased after Sarah, John, and the T-800 protecting the mother and son.
Among them, the motorcycles that the T-1000 rode were of this model.
However, Li Du had used the little bug's ability to relive old times to take a look. These two motorcycles were not the original models, but models that were later used in the movie's publicity.
