When the wooden plank fell, it was like a meteorite crashing into the Pacific Ocean, quickly setting off a tsunami!
The treasure hunters lining up at the entrance were stunned. Someone immediately shouted, "Sh * t, we've been tricked! We've been tricked! "
"F * ck, f * ck, f * ck! This is a fake! This furniture is fake! It's not mahogany! "
"To hell with mahogany, it's worthless. But why are you angry? It's as if you've won the unit!"
"Dog Ears is in trouble. He's won two units. And that guy from LA, he also has a unit."
Rick and Frank were at the back. They did not see what was going on in the unit, but they could hear everyone's discussion.
However, the news revealed by these discussions was catastrophic. After hearing it, they showed expressions of disbelief and pushed their way into the door.
The auctioneer was fuming. He pushed a treasure hunter and shouted, "Who touched the furniture? D * mmit, who touched it?! Get out! Get out … "
Rick pushed him away. He looked at the wooden plank that had fallen to the ground and suddenly felt a sense of despair.
Pushing away the auctioneer who was in front of him, he rushed up and slammed his hand on the table. Soon, another piece of the table's edge fell and a wooden plank fell from one of its legs.
This way, the table that was finally revealed was made of another material. The color and texture of the table's surface and legs were different. Obviously, they were not the same type of wood.
Seeing this, Li Du patted his chest and heaved a sigh of relief. "D * mmit, luckily we didn't take the unit!"
Frank and Rick stared blankly at the table, feeling the world spinning around them.
Harris rushed in and kicked the table, knocking it over. He shouted, "What's going on?!"
The auctioneer stopped him and shouted, "Get out, you've broken the rules. All of you, get out!"
If it wasn't for the fact that these two groups of people had paid a high price to buy the first three units, his words would have been more aggressive.
The table was kicked to the ground. This time, even the wooden plank on the table fell. It was even more obvious that it was a fake.
Seeing this, Harris turned around and gave Rick a slap. He shouted, "What's going on?!"
Rick staggered from the slap. He wanted to kick him again, but a treasure hunter stopped him and said, "It's just that this piece of furniture is fake. The ones in front might not be fake."
"Yes, maybe the other furniture in this unit is real too."
"Rick, buddy, are you okay? Don't be sad, the units in front might not be fake. "
"It's okay even if it's fake. You guys have money anyway. "
The treasure hunters comforted him, but most of them were gloating over his misfortune.
The corners of Borl's mouth twitched uncontrollably. He glared at the peeling table and roared after a long while, "Damn it!"
York patted him on the back and said calmly, "Don't think too much, buddy. The furniture in our warehouse isn't this kind of fake. We've consulted experts!"
Borl's mental fortitude was stronger, and he finally accepted this reality. He stood aside with a gloomy face.
They had only won one unit. Even if it was fake, the compensation was acceptable, so they were not desperate.
Rick's situation was not good. They had spent close to 200,000 dollars to win two units. If it was all fake, they would lose everything!
This unit was worthless. Although there was still some furniture, the treasure hunters did not dare to take the risk. They had already guessed that the rest of the furniture was also fake.
The auctioneer knew that this unit was worthless. When he called out the bid, he said weakly, "Two thousand, two thousand, compared to the previous units, this is fast food. It's worth the risk …"
Two thousand dollars was indeed a low price, but the treasure hunters were not interested.
Li Du raised his hand. "I accept."
The auctioneer pointed at him and said, "Okay, two thousand dollars has been accepted. How about two thousand one hundred, two hundred one, two hundred one, two hundred one?"
Frank reluctantly raised his hand. "Okay."
York's eyebrows twitched. He stopped him and said, "Buddy, you still want to take the risk?"
Frank snorted, "What risk is there for two thousand dollars? Even if the furniture here is fake, it can still sell for at least five thousand dollars. "
Li Du had the same thought, so he kept bidding.
When the price reached five thousand dollars, he still kept bidding.
The treasure hunters shook their heads and backed out of the bidding. Frank also backed out of the bidding. This unit finally went to him.
Unit 45 was opened. Another pile of mahogany furniture came out.
This time, the treasure hunters were sure that they were all fake. There was even less enthusiasm for bidding.
Li Du, on the other hand, maintained his enthusiasm. When the auction for this unit started, he continued to bid.
Seeing this, Frank was a little suspicious. He asked, "Could it be that this kid got some insider information? For example, these furniture are real?"
York said firmly, "Impossible, buddy. There's no such information. This is a scam. Those cunning country bumpkins from Arizona lied to us!"
Borl spat out a mouthful of phlegm and cursed, "F * ck you!"
Next was unit 46. There was not much furniture in this unit. It was mainly made of some wooden planks and big boxes.
From the wooden planks, it could be determined that this unit belonged to the same company as the previous five units. Hence, there were still not many treasure hunters interested in this unit.
Li Du continued bidding. There was no furniture in this unit, so the starting price was very low — only five hundred dollars.
After a few bids, Li Du got it. The final price was 1,500 dollars, which was a new low for the auction.
Seeing that he had won three units in a row, some treasure hunters were puzzled. They asked, "Li, why did you buy all these fake furniture?"
Li Du smiled. "We know they're fake, but the others don't."
"You're planning to pass them off as real? Buddy, that's not good. It's embarrassing, "a treasure hunter said, pouting.
Li Du said, "What are you guys thinking? Of course not. I'm planning to use it for myself. But I won't tell my friends that it's fake. They'll think that I used mahogany furniture. Isn't that something to be proud of? "
Someone said, "That's a good idea."
Frank spat again. "D * mn, retard!"
Li Du heard this and turned around. "Luckily, I'm not retarded enough to spend 65,000 dollars on a pile of fake furniture. I've only spent less than 10,000 dollars."
Ten thousand dollars for a pile of fake mahogany furniture was a big price to pay.
But if the wooden planks in unit 46 were not fake, Li Du would have made a profit!
Unit 47 was opened. It was still mahogany furniture. The treasure hunters were already immune to this. Many people did not even look at the unit and went straight to the next one.
