Actually, even without the little bug's special ability, it was easy to tell. The two bikes were too new. The ones in the movie were in fact badly chipped due to collisions, and the exterior looked even older.
The motorcycles were covered with coats, and it was hard to tell their identities from the outside.
Li Du was in the second last line of visitors. When it was time for them to view the storage unit, he released the little bug.
At the same time, he turned around and sneered at Frank and the others, "Eat sh * t behind us."
Frank glared at him fiercely. "Thirty seconds left, get lost!"
In less than thirty seconds, Li Du immediately controlled the little bug to absorb the time capability of the motorcycles under the coat.
Very quickly, the paint on the front of the motorcycles started to peel, and the originally shiny plastic windshield also became a dim yellow.
In just ten seconds, the process was complete. Frank and York came up to shove and shove them away. Hans turned around and said angrily, "Don't go too far! It's not time yet! "
"Get lost!" Frank shouted.
Li Du led Hans and the others away, and at the same time, controlled the little bug to absorb the time capability of the coat.
The coat had aged into pieces, and the front half of one of the motorcycles was exposed.
Frank and the others stood proudly at the entrance of the storage unit. They looked in, and were immediately attracted by the motorcycles.
There were posters from the movie Terminator and some props from the 1980s in the storage unit. Together with these things, the two of them looked at the motorcycles thoughtfully.
Li Du left quietly, and then gathered everyone in the team. He said, "This storage unit is very valuable. There's a motorcycle inside, and I think it's very valuable!"
Not only were there treasure hunters from Flagstaff in his team, but there were also treasure hunters from other places. Hence, his words could be heard from all around.
The auctioneer raised his hand and shouted, "The same price is 1,000 dollars, 1,000 dollars, 1,000 dollars. Whoever wants it, please come forward and let me see you …"
Hans raised his hand and said, "2,000 dollars!"
A treasure hunter shouted, "3,000 dollars!"
"I'll bid 5,000 dollars!"
"We'll bid 6,000 dollars!" Hans raised the bid again.
Frank gave York a look, and intervened. "Ten thousand dollars!"
Not to be outdone, Li Du raised his hand and said, "11,000 dollars!"
Frank laughed coldly. "15,000 dollars!"
Li Du immediately followed. "Twenty thousand dollars!"
Some treasure hunters wanted to join in the bidding, but they were stopped by the people beside them. "No need to bid, buddy. They are obviously going to start a bidding war. Are you sure you can outbid them?"
Some treasure hunters who were interested in the storage unit cursed, "D * mn it, we have to avoid these lunatics next time!"
The price soon doubled, and Li Du quoted 40,000 dollars.
Frank kept chasing after his price and turned forty thousand dollars into forty-five thousand dollars.
Hans intervened and said, "Fifty thousand!"
Just as Frank was about to speak, York stopped him and shook his head gloomily.
Seeing this, Li Du's heart skipped a beat. Things were going to be bad!
To make matters worse, the auctioneer did not want to wait any longer. Frank did not bid in time, so he pointed at Hans and shouted, "Fifty thousand, fifty thousand, fifty thousand, my friends, there are still people willing to bid higher …"
"Sixty thousand!" Frank said sternly. Then he looked at York, gritted his teeth, and said, "I will not let them take the storage unit in front of me!"
Hans looked at Li Du, and Li Du's lips curled into a cold smile.
He had been worried for nothing. He had thought wrongly that York had noticed something was wrong with the motorcycle, or that this guy was more careful.
Actually, that was not the case. The two of them were playing tricks. They wanted the treasure hunters to think that they were raising the price to raise the price. The two of them believed in the identity of the motorcycle!
Since that was the case, what was there to hesitate about? He nodded at Hans, and the price continued to rise. Hans shouted, "Seventy thousand dollars!"
Frank shouted, "Seventy-five thousand dollars!"
Li Du took a step forward and said, "Stop wasting time like a f * cking sissy. One hundred thousand dollars. If you bid higher, you can take it!"
Frank did not want to be outdone. He laughed coldly and said, "One hundred and one thousand dollars!"
The auctioneer pointed at them and was about to announce the deal when Li Du also laughed coldly. "One hundred and ten thousand dollars!"
Frank and the others were so angry at his bid that they almost vomited blood. He shouted, "Hey, Chinaman, you're such a sissy. Your words are as boring as dog sh * t!"
Li Du gave him the middle finger and said, "You think I don't know the value of storage unit 28? We also heard about it. We know about those war tools! "
He believed that with Frank and York's shrewdness, they would definitely understand what he was trying to say.
Previously, York had thought that Li Du was bidding for storage unit 28 just to get back at them, thinking that Li Du did not know about the props from the movie "Troy."
Now that Li Du had told them that he knew about the existence of the props from the movie, he speculated that he was not bidding for the sake of getting back at them. He also knew about the motorcycle in this storage unit!
Frank and York understood in an instant. Their faces turned ugly, and they gritted their teeth and bid, "One hundred and twenty thousand dollars!"
The treasure hunters who were watching the commotion were confused. They did not know what the two were talking about, and thought that the two of them were talking in riddles.
Hearing this bid, Li Du smiled and immediately pulled himself out of the bidding. "You guys have money, you guys can do whatever you want!"
He did not know how much the motorcycle from the movie was worth, but to be able to trick the other party into buying a worthless storage unit at the highest bid price, he was satisfied.
Hans and the others were right. Frank and York were very cunning. Playing a fake bidding war with them was like playing with fire. Who knew when they would end up in trouble?
Li Du left the moment he reached the price he wanted. He did not dare to bid recklessly. If Frank and the others saw the problem, or felt that the storage unit was not worth that much and stopped bidding, then he would have shot himself in the foot.
Once he left, the auctioneer immediately pointed at Frank and the others and said, "Very good, one hundred and twenty thousand dollars, one hundred and twenty thousand dollars, one hundred and twenty thousand dollars, is there anyone who wants to continue bidding? Alright, then! "
York's face lit up with joy. He said, "Buddy, we can earn some money again. Let's call the movie queen. She likes to collect famous motorcycles from movies, so she will definitely not let this one go!"
Although Frank had mania, and would fly into a rage whenever he was provoked, he had a better grasp of the human heart than his partner.
Seeing that Li Du had easily backed out of the bidding, he slowly frowned and said, "I'm afraid things are not so optimistic. Let's go back and take a look. There's something wrong with that motorcycle!"
York was puzzled. "What's not right? Don't think too much, buddy. Didn't we ask on the phone? The possibility of that fella being an original motorcycle from the movie is very high! Cameron's film crew did store some props here! "
Frank thought for a while and said, "I hope so."
