The auctioneer's judgment of the storage unit was the same as that of the treasure hunters, but he still hoped to get a high price. Hence, after the viewing, he shouted:
"The last storage unit showed your spirit, but in the end, only one person won. I see that many people are not satisfied, so let's work hard on this storage unit …
"The starting price is 2,000 dollars!"
No matter how nice it sounded, the real value of the storage unit would only be revealed when the price was called. Obviously, the auctioneer felt that the value of this storage unit was not even half of the previous one.
The treasure hunters felt worse about storage units than the auctioneer. Hearing the starting price, they started discussing:
"It's all clothes in here. Although there are many famous brands, the value is not high."
"I'm not bidding anymore. Only the furniture is valuable. How much can these second-hand clothes sell for?"
"Sell for nothing. These clothes are outdated and can't keep up with the trend. If they can't keep up with the trend, then they're not famous brands!"
"Maybe we can buy them and donate them to the Salvation Army. Other than that, I can't think of any other use."
The treasure hunters were discussing noisily. For a moment, no one made a bid.
This made the auctioneer very anxious. He shouted, "2,000 dollars, 2,000 dollars, 2,000 dollars. Just the exquisite furniture alone is worth more than 2,000 dollars!"
Hans rubbed his chin and smiled. If no one made a bid, he would not.
Andrew was the one with the money. He said, "Me, 2,000 dollars."
This storage unit still had some value. With someone taking the lead, other treasure hunters who were interested in the storage unit immediately followed. "3,000 dollars!"
"3,500 dollars!"
"4,000 dollars!"
"5,000 dollars!"
The price steadily increased. The auctioneer smiled.
Andrew showed an impatient expression and said, "10,000 dollars!"
The treasure hunters exclaimed again. This kind of tycoon bidding was always enviable.
However, Andrew's group was not the only treasure hunters with money. They did not dare to bid 100,000 dollars, but 10,000 dollars was not a problem.
"Eleven thousand dollars!"
"Twelve thousand dollars!"
"Thirteen thousand dollars!"
At this time, the Playboy also joined the bidding. "Fifteen thousand dollars!"
Andrew looked at the crowd domineeringly and said, "I'm going to call the lowest price. Everyone, I don't want to waste time here! Thirty thousand dollars! "
After the price of 30,000 dollars was called, a few treasure hunters who were interested retreated. Just the furniture in the storage unit could not sell for 30,000 dollars.
The Playboy smiled at Andrew and said, "Thirty-one thousand!"
Hearing his price, the corner of Andrew's mouth twitched. He looked at the Playboy fiercely and said, "You brought a lot of money today, huh?"
The Playboy laughed. "If I don't have enough money, I'll sell my blood and kidney. Anyway, I have to fulfill my promise. As long as I'm here, don't even think about taking the warehouse away!"
Andrew said viciously, "I think you earned the money by selling yourself, right? Selling chrysanthemums in a gay bar? Haha, that's a good business, but it's easy to get infected with AIDS! "
The auctioneer pointed at the Playboy and shouted "31,000 dollars" three times, then waved his hand and said, "This storage unit belongs to you, buddy!"
The Playboy turned around and shook hands with Li Du. "Congratulations, you've also gotten the storage unit you wanted."
Li Du waved at Andrew and said, "Buddy, come on, I hope you don't go back empty-handed today!"
The one who was really interested in this storage unit was him. From the Playboy's point of view, this storage unit was not worth much. His meaning was the same as that of the treasure hunters: the branded clothing in the storage unit was not worth much.
The first storage unit was mostly filled with daily necessities and decorations, which had nothing to do with fashion. Unlike clothes, second-hand goods were worth little, not to mention the designs from a few years ago.
The third storage unit was opened. It was mainly filled with ordinary daily necessities, which were not worth much. Li Du released the little bug to make sure that there was nothing valuable, so he did not bid.
The Playboy and Andrew were the same. It was obvious that the two of them were not interested in this storage unit.
The fourth storage unit was opened. Li Du released the little bug again to take a closer look.
Although he had come to take a look the day before, he did not look carefully. He was worried that he might have missed something.
He was a very meticulous person. In the past, when he was doing exams in school, he would check them at least twice before handing them in.
When the seventh storage unit was opened, Li Du released the little bug again, preparing to search through the cabinets and boxes.
In the end, after the little bug flew out, it actually burrowed into a television in the storage unit!
This surprised Li Du. He was sure that he had gone through all the storage units the day before. There should not have been anything that could attract the little bug.
However, there was clearly something in the storage unit that could attract the little bug. The little bug had already flown into the television. Seeing this, Li Du was a little puzzled. What was going on?
For a moment, the first thing that came to his mind was that something that could not attract the little bug yesterday could attract it today. However, what he saw next made him change his mind.
The little bug had flown into an old-fashioned television that was only about 20 inches wide. It was the kind of television that had long been obsolete.
The outside of the television was the same as before. However, the wiring and electronic components inside had been removed. Instead, there was an unusually beautiful knife!
The knife was placed on a black base. The black base was shiny and clear, and was made of an unknown stone ore. There was a white throne on it, and the knife was placed on the throne.
On the left and right of the throne, there was a sculpture in the shape of a leopard. Looking at the material, the leopard and the throne were made of the same material, which was white.
Among them, the leopard's eyes were inlaid with red gems, and the throne was also inlaid with gems. There were red, black, and green gems, and the colors were very beautiful.
Even more beautiful was the knife. The material of the handle and the scabbard of the knife were similar to that of the throne and the leopard. There were also more gems inlaid on it, and the material was better.
With just one look, Li Du knew that this knife was a treasure!
He was sure that the knife had not appeared in the storage unit yesterday.
This was because he had paid attention to the cabinets, boxes, and other similar items in the storage unit. After all, these things were the most likely to hide treasures.
Although the television was not a cabinet or box, there was still space in it. After Li Du saw it, he would let the little bug fly in to take a look.
If the knife had been hidden in the television in the storage unit yesterday, he would not have missed it.
He might have forgotten whether there was a television in the storage unit, but he would never have forgotten to let the little bug check the television!
Overnight, there was an extra knife in the storage unit. Li Du was ecstatic at first, but then he became vigilant.
This knife must have been placed there temporarily by someone. He did not know the purpose, but he had to be careful. This knife was obviously very valuable!
Other than the knife in the television, there was nothing else valuable in the storage unit. It was just an ordinary storage unit for household waste.
After the viewing, the auctioneer raised his hand. The auction for this storage unit had begun!
