The young man and the white treasure hunter started a bidding war. For no reason at all, both sides began to raise the price crazily.
Then, a worthless storage unit ended up being sold for 3,500 dollars …
The young man's performance was valiant. In the end, he won the storage unit. The white treasure hunter was defeated, his face full of resentment.
Li Du was stunned by the scene. He could not help but ask, "Are they here to make money or to fight? What's the point of a meaningless bidding war? "
Looking at the young man's performance, he was very proud of himself, as if the storage unit he had won was worth millions.
Li Du and Hans missed out on the next four storage units. There were not just one or two newbies today, but ten or twenty of them. They could not tell the specific value of the storage units, and did not care about the value.
For the newbies, their mentality was the same as the young man's. Storage auctions were a gamble, and what they had to do was place a heavy bet on winning the storage units.
As for the rewards inside? They could only pray to God.
After the auction ended, Li Du shook his head and walked back. The young man and his companion quickly opened the first storage unit, and then went straight to the electrical appliance box. When they opened it, they found a microwave oven inside.
Seeing this, the two young men cheered, "Oh yeah, we're going to be rich!"
Li Du smiled bitterly. If these things were sold well, they could sell for 4,000 dollars. After deducting the manpower, the profit would only be a few hundred dollars. How could they be rich?
His expression caused the two young men to misunderstand. The young man's companion saw it and shouted, "Hey, newbie, are you doubting us? Are you doubting us? "
Li Du spread out his hands in a friendly manner. "No, I'm just very envious of you."
The new appliances that were exposed in the opened boxes made the two excited. The young man shouted, "Don't f * cking deny it. D * mn it, you were just laughing at us!"
"Newbie, you'll never get anything if you keep doing this!"
The treasure hunters who were watching from the side were stunned. They looked at the two young men, then at Li Du, and started to discuss.
"What? They called Li a newbie? Where did these two experts come from? "
"Sh * t, they're the real newbies. They've just entered the storage auction business!"
"Hey, Cooper, Adams, what did you call this guy? Don't you know who he is? "
"Guys, this is Flagstaff's treasure hunter king, Big Li, and that's Big Fox. The two of them just taught a lesson to the guys from California's Million Dollar Club in LA!"
Li Du spread his hands again. Fortunately, there were quite a number of veterans participating in this auction. Otherwise, he would have been looked down upon.
Hearing the discussion, it was the two young men's turn to be dumbfounded. "No, buddy, no! Are you China Li? Damn it, but you didn't get anything! "
"Yes, it seems like the Treasure Tycoon doesn't have any special skills. We are better than him."
Li Du laughed. "Wait till you guys earn some money before you say that. Guys, it's good to have confidence, but it's not good to be arrogant."
The black youth asked, "What do you mean? As you can see, we can make money. Look, these appliances are all new! "
Based on Li Du's previous bad temper, if the young man were to argue with him like this, he would definitely teach him a lesson. For example, he would let the little bug destroy the electrical circuits of the household appliances.
But that would be too domineering. He was no longer a hot-tempered young man, so he just laughed and let it go.
Hans crossed his arms and said, "You guys didn't just win one storage unit. Go and open the second one. I hope you guys won't lose too much today."
The young man and his companion were full of confidence and said firmly, "No, we won't lose money, we will make money!"
The second storage unit was opened and the things inside were cleaned up. The surrounding treasure hunters roared with laughter.
The first storage unit had brand-new appliances to make money, while the second storage unit was purely household garbage. There were some furniture and appliances, but they were obviously obsolete and worthless.
A treasure hunter shook his head and laughed. "The things in this storage unit are not worth a single cent."
Someone else said, "You guys spent 3,500 dollars on a pile of garbage. You have to pay 3,500 dollars. Buddies, you won't earn that much from the last storage unit."
"3,500 dollars? It's not just that! The storage unit itself is 3,500 dollars. Dealing with this garbage will cost at least 200 dollars. There's also the labor cost, which can also be done for 200 dollars. Plus the gas and parking fees, it's a total of 4,000 dollars! "
Once the calculation was done, the white man who was bidding with the young man suddenly shouted in joy, "Oh, God bless, Mother Mary bless! I almost fell into the mire! "
The young man and his companion looked dejected and helpless. Obviously, they were not rich people and did not have much money to squander.
Hans said, "Don't be too depressed, newbies. This is a storage unit auction. One step from heaven to hell, so be careful when you bid next time."
Li Du went over and patted their shoulders. "With more experience, your situation will get better. That's how everyone goes through it."
Encouraged, the two young men were fired up again. "Yes, take it as paying tuition. We will definitely become treasure hunting kings, the treasure hunting kings of Phoenix!"
The treasure hunter beside them could not help but mock them. "Let's get out of this situation first before talking about how to become treasure hunting kings. Now it seems like you guys are more like the king of junk!"
The weather was hot, and Li Du was not interested in staying there to watch the fun. He left with Hans and drove back to Flagstaff.
On the way, Hans laughed. "You're getting more and more attached to Flagstaff."
Li Du said, "You don't understand how we Chinese feel about home. We have a saying: 'Gold or silver, there's no place like home.'"
Godzilla, who was driving, said, "Yes."
He was also a person who loved his family.
Hans said, "Then you can just buy a house in Flagstaff and settle down here."
Li Du shook his head. "I don't have any plans to settle down here, nor do I have any plans to emigrate, so I'd better not buy a house for now."
He was a little ambitious now. If he wanted to buy a house, he would not be interested in an ordinary apartment. If he wanted to buy a house, he would buy a villa.
Of course, with his net worth, buying a villa would not be a problem. But if he bought a house, it would be best to emigrate. Otherwise, the various taxes would be too much of a headache.
Hans leaned against the car seat and said, "Then emigrate, buddy. Isn't it good in America? You can make a lot of money here. I think you're naturally suited to the business atmosphere here. "
Li Du laughed. "Let's talk about it later. Anyway, I have my own territory now."
The territory he was referring to was, of course, the jungle clearing. Although it was used to store trash, it was not dirty and messy. He wanted to tidy it up and build a simple camp there.
On the way, when he mentioned this idea, Godzilla responded to his call. "I'll do it!"
Hans shrugged. "Alright then, we'll have our own small family."
Li Du gave him the middle finger. "Get lost, who wants to have a small family with you?"
Hans laughed. "I'm the father, you're the mother, and Godzilla is the baby. Isn't that a family?"
Godzilla said, "I'm the big baby."
