It was another sunny day. Since the morning, the high temperature had taken over the land. The treasure hunters were all wiping their sweat after arriving at the storage units.
Hans was gulping down a bottle of iced water. He looked like he was in pain, sweating profusely.
Li Du breathed slowly. His eyes were clear, and there was not much sweat on his body.
The Playboy walked over and said enviously, "Li, do you know Qigong? Look at you. This weather can't do anything to you. "
Li Du smiled and shook his head. Hans pretended to understand and said, "It's cool to be calm. Brother, it's cool to be calm. Li's state of mind is always calm."
"If you know this, then why are you sweating so much?" the Playboy asked.
Hans sighed. "D * mmit, I can't calm down."
Li Du said, "Actually, it has nothing to do with state of mind or Qigong. I'm not sweating mainly because I'm Asian. You guys are Caucasian. Your pores are too big."
"Sh * t, racial discrimination!" the Playboy said angrily.
Many treasure hunters rushed over, and the storage units became bustling, as if they were going to a market.
Hans took off his sunglasses and looked for a while. He said, "Looks like there are many people attracted by the Middle Eastern rich guy. The news has obviously spread."
The Playboy said, "This is not a secret to begin with …"
"Of course, otherwise how could guys like you get it? If you guys can get this news, why can't others? "Andrew's voice came from the side.
The Playboy did not have a good relationship with him. After seeing him, he said in annoyance, "You're like a dog, always following behind us. What, you want to eat sh * t?"
Andrew said, "Don't just talk, it's useless. If you don't like me, then don't let me take any storage units."
The Playboy gave him the middle finger. "No, if you're interested in a trash storage unit, I don't think I'll make things difficult for you."
The auction had not started, but the smell of gunpowder had already spread between the two of them.
Li Du asked Hans quietly, "What's going on with these two guys?"
Hans shrugged. "I'm not sure. It seems to be a relationship issue. The Playboy was tricked by Cocky, and played by a woman?"
Li Du said, "Alright, then I understand Playboy. What's there to hesitate about? Second Battalion Commander, show me your Italian cannon! "
"What?" Hans was bewildered.
Li Du said, "What I mean is, we'll cover for the Playboy later. How about we overturn the Eye of Heaven today?"
Hans said, "Of course, if we can do it again, we can do whatever we want in Flagstaff's storage auction industry. No one will be as famous as us."
The auctioneer arrived, and the first storage unit was slowly opened. He said, "Alright, everyone line up and start viewing. Four people to a group, and each group has one minute. Everyone cherish this opportunity and start."
As soon as the warehouse door opened, the treasure hunters in front immediately exclaimed:
"Dogsh * t, I saw the treasure!"
"Look at those tarps. I bet they're all hand-woven carpets of high quality!"
"Look at the shelf at the back. Do you see that set of trays? My God, they are golden. Could it be that they are made of pure gold? "
"This warehouse is going to explode. That's our target, right?"
"That's everyone's target, buddy. This is going to be interesting."
Li Du and the Playboy were in the same group. When it was their turn, the Playboy scanned the interior with his flashlight, and a smile appeared on his face.
"There are so many brands in there. Look at the tableware on the shelf — it's all Danish Royal Copenhagen brand. It's almost a national treasure."
"Do you see that saddle over there? That's Hermès leather. Ha, it's worth a lot, buddy. "
"That oven is not bad either. British Royal Dalton brand, ceramic oven. A new one could be worth tens of thousands."
The Playboy whispered as he looked, and identified the specific identities of many of the items in the storage unit.
This was something that Li Du and Hans could not do. They knew that these items were worth a lot of money, but they did not know the specific brands. This was the difference between them and the truly outstanding treasure hunters.
Hans belonged to the category of treasure hunters who knew everything, but were not good at anything. He was very familiar with the geography and culture of Arizona, but he did not know much about luxury brands.
Li Du knew even less about these things. Before entering this industry, luxury goods had nothing to do with him.
The Playboy was different from them. In fact, what he was good at was controlling some second-hand luxury goods.
Hans had told Li Du that many rich people in Flagstaff would contact the Playboy when buying luxury goods, and get some advice from him.
After looking at the storage unit, the three of them gathered together. Hans asked, "How much do you think it's worth?"
The Playboy said, "If we manage it well, everything in there could be sold for 200,000 dollars."
Hans exclaimed, "Sh * t, it's worth that much?!"
The Playboy shrugged and said, "It's worth that much. It's all luxury goods. I really don't know which tycoon it belongs to, to be able to give up so much good stuff!"
The other treasure hunters might not be able to determine the exact value of the storage unit, but they knew that it was worth a lot. After the viewing, many of them began to form alliances.
The final price of this storage unit was bound to be very high, and they did not have that much money.
The auction began. As the auctioneer saw a good opportunity to split the profits, he began to bid excitedly, "There's no doubt that it's all good stuff in there, right? So I have to give it a price that matches its status. Otherwise, it would be an insult to it …
"So, the starting price is 5,000 dollars, and each increment is at least 1,000 dollars. Everyone, start bidding!"
Andrew raised his hand enthusiastically. "Ten thousand dollars!"
Some of the treasure hunters who were new to the business gasped. "Sh * t!"
This price drove away some of the treasure hunters. They did not even have 10,000 dollars' worth of funds.
Seeing that Andrew had made a bid, the Playboy's eyes suddenly became stern, and he raised his hand to bid.
Li Du pulled him back, and then nodded to Hans.
Hans shouted, "Twenty thousand dollars!"
Some treasure hunters took the opportunity to shout, "Twenty-one thousand dollars!"
"Twenty-two thousand dollars!"
"Twenty-five thousand dollars …"
Andrew scanned the crowd coldly, and said impatiently, "Stop playing house, guys. Let's start with 50,000 dollars!"
More treasure hunters backed out, but there were still people standing in front. They were either richer, or they had formed alliances and pooled the money together.
Hans said, "Fifty-one thousand dollars."
Immediately, someone followed, "Fifty-two thousand dollars!" "I'll bid fifty-three thousand dollars!"
Andrew said, "Sixty thousand dollars!"
Hans smiled, and immediately said, "Sixty-one thousand dollars!"
Li Du and the Playboy clapped, meaning that Hans had done a good job.
