Seeing Harris slap Lil 'Rick, Hans stuck out his tongue and said, "Wow, this fella is still so hot-tempered. Why does he like to slap people so much?"
Lil 'Rick was stunned. He did not understand what he had done wrong. He looked at Harris in shock and asked, "Uncle, what's going on?"
Hearing the way he addressed him, Rick's eyebrows twitched again.
He went up and pulled his son away. With a cold face, he said, "Shut up, shut up!"
Lil 'Rick felt wronged and humiliated!
His face was burning, but he did not know whether it was because of the slap or the embarrassment.
If it had been in private, it would not have been a big deal to be slapped. When he was at the Comanche Casino to collect his debt, he had almost fractured his bones.
But now, it was in public, and the people who saw him get slapped were the low-level treasure hunters that he used to look down on. This made him even more humiliated.
He felt that all the treasure hunters were looking at him, either with pity, mockery, or indifference. In short, this feeling was driving him crazy.
Without another word, he ran to his truck and drove away from the parking lot.
Li Du looked at Harris and Rick and said, "You guys went too far just now."
Rick was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. He shouted, "You're the one who started it, b * stard! Don't pretend to be the good guy now! You're the one who started it! "
This kind of nonsense annoyed Li Du. Obviously, he could not reason with Rick, so he just kept quiet.
Hans, however, did not want to see his brother being humiliated. He pointed at Rick's chest and said, "Hey, buddy, it was your son who started it. Li is already a good person. If he was the one who provoked me, then I wouldn't be the only one slapping him! "
Rick wanted to say something, but Harris gave him a shove and said impatiently, "Alright, don't cause trouble. It was your son who started it. Isn't it better to earn money quietly?"
Harris's attitude made Rick angry. He growled, "You're too much, buddy. What are you doing? What kind of person do you think I am?! "
Harris did not care about Rick's anger. He said coldly, "After you pay off your debt, I'll be smiling at you."
From the beginning to the end, Borl and York just watched from the side, showing no intention of interfering.
The crowd dispersed, and York said, "These country bumpkins are quite interesting."
Bohr curled his lips and said, "What do I mean? Arizona is indeed full of barbarians, but I like it here. I like taking care of these d * mn barbarians."
The auctioneer walked over, and the warehouse security started to maintain order. The auction was about to begin.
Unit 41 was the first to be opened, and neatly arranged reddish-brown wood furniture appeared in front of the treasure hunters.
Seeing the furniture, the crowd immediately burst into an uproar.
"Damn it, the information is accurate. There is mahogany furniture here!"
"It's red rosewood. Look, the color ranges from light yellow to dark reddish-brown. There are dark stripes on the surface. This is rosewood!"
"It's too far, I can't see it clearly, but it looks really beautiful, we must get it!"
Li Du blended in with the crowd. When it was his turn, he took the binoculars from Hans and looked at them carefully. Then he poked his head in and sniffed with all his might. He even wanted to reach out and touch a chair near the door.
When the auctioneer saw this, he said, "Don't touch anything inside, buddy. Don't make me warn you a second time."
Rick carefully observed this scene from the back of the crowd. Bohr walked over and whispered, "Look, listen, question, and feel the pulse, right?"
"Who knows." Rick shook his head and left.
After the viewing, the auctioneer looked at the list of bids and said, "Okay, guys, please gather around me. I'm going to start the bidding. I won't go into the details, everyone knows the rules, so I'll start with 1,000 dollars. 1,000 dollars, 1,000 dollars …"
Hans looked at Li Du, who shook his head and said, "No rush."
For the sets of mahogany furniture in the unit, the price of 1,000 dollars was very low. Immediately, a treasure hunter raised his hand and said, "1,000 dollars!"
"1,500 dollars!"
"2,000 dollars!"
"3,000 dollars!"
"5,000 dollars!"
The price rose rapidly. Obviously, the treasure hunters were very interested in the furniture.
Harris looked at Rick and whispered, "Hurry up and bid. Why aren't you bidding?"
Rick said calmly, "Don't rush, Mr. Harris. Let them fight it out first. This is not a good opportunity to enter the bidding war."
Harris nodded and said, "Looks like there's no chance to win this unit at a low price, right?"
Rick hesitated and said, "To be honest, buddy, I don't recommend buying this furniture. According to my information, it's just some imitation goods."
Harris stared at him and said, "Your information? Where did you get your information from? Let me tell you, the Chinese man told me that the furniture inside is made of red rosewood and yellow rosewood! "
Rick said cautiously, "Don't you feel that the Chinese man's appearance is too coincidental? Just before the auction starts? "
Harris asked, "What do you mean?"
Rick said, "I suspect that the storage company hired a Chinese man to deceive us!"
Harris hesitated when he heard what Huo Yuhao said.
Indeed, the so-called Chinese expert's appearance was too coincidental. They were not fools. They would not believe a stranger's one-sided story.
At this time, Li Du made a bid. Hans raised his hand and said, "10,000 dollars!"
The price jumped from 7,000 dollars to 10,000 dollars. Many treasure hunters shook their heads dejectedly. They did not have so much money prepared.
However, there were still some treasure hunters who could keep up. "Fifteen hundred dollars!"
"Eleven thousand dollars!"
Frank and York were also hesitating. "Buddy, do you want to join in? If it's really mahogany, 10,000 dollars is too low. "
In the American market, mahogany furniture was relatively rare. Frank and York were unfamiliar with it.
However, they had a database. Frank opened his laptop and searched for information about mahogany. He skimmed through the introduction and looked at the furniture inside. He gritted his teeth and said, "Let's give it a try. Raise the price!"
Hearing this, York immediately raised his hand and said, "Fifteen thousand dollars, us!"
The increase in price was quite high. Another treasure hunter backed out of the bidding.
A treasure hunter asked in confusion, "Where did those two guys come from? They seem to be very rich. "
The person next to him laughed, "Are you a rookie? Don't they know about it? If you've been to California, then you must have heard of them — Frank and York! "
Li Du glanced at Frank and nodded calmly.
Hans also raised his hand and said, "20,000 dollars!"
The increase in price was getting bigger and bigger!
At this time, Harris could not hold it in any longer. He said, "Listen, Rick, are you confident that these pieces of furniture are fake?"
Rick thought for a while and shook his head helplessly. "No."
Harris immediately waved his arm and said fiercely, "Then they're real. Twenty-six thousand dollars!"
