The people around him were standing up for him. As the person involved, Li Du had no reason to hide in the back.
Thus, he stood up and raised his hand. "Guys, calm down, everyone calm down!"
Turis, Olly, and the others took the lead to shut up. The noisy entrance quietened down.
Li Du pointed at Frank and York and said, "Get down and smell the soil. Remember, this is Flagstaff, not Los Angeles. Watch your mouths, or else your tongues will be cut off."
It did not feel good to be surrounded. Frank and York's expressions were ugly, and their hearts were filled with fear.
However, Frank did not want to lose face. He said forcefully, "What, are you threatening me?"
Li Du patted his shoulder. "No, not threatening. I'm just telling you the truth."
York sneered and said, "Relying on numbers to bully others? Don't think we're afraid of you. Go ask around about me and Frank York. Find out who we are — "
"No need to find out. We don't care who you are," Li Du interrupted him. "This is our territory. If you're a dragon, coil up; if you're a tiger, lie down! Do you understand? "
Frank wanted to fight back, but Reginald stopped him and said in a low voice, "Forget it, Boss Frank. Our goal is the storage unit. Don't waste your energy on unnecessary things."
The dispute finally came to an end. Li Du was still standing at the back.
The first storage unit was opened. The crowd lined up to take a look.
There were two computers in this storage unit, both from Apple. He used the little bug to check the condition of the computers. They were in good condition. The laptops were still in their computer bags, not even opened.
He valued the storage unit at 4,000 dollars. After looking at it, he walked over to Turis and said in a low voice, "Get it within 3,000 dollars. You can make a profit."
Turis nodded without batting an eyelid, and then squeezed to the front of the crowd.
The two computers were under the pile of groceries. They could not be seen from the outside, so the storage unit looked worthless from the entrance.
The starting bid was very low, only 100 dollars. In order to help Turis get the storage unit, Li Du shook his head and backed out of the auction.
Because of this, many people who had been following him felt that the storage unit was worthless and backed out of the auction.
In the end, Turis only used 450 dollars to get the storage unit.
The second unit was unit 30. There was a set of surveillance equipment inside, which was even more valuable than unit 29. Just the full set of surveillance equipment would cost at least five thousand dollars.
He found Big Beard Carl and said in a low voice, "Bid for it within 4,000 dollars. It's possible."
Other than the surveillance cameras hidden in the boxes, there were also some new counters at the entrance of the warehouse, which could be sold for some money.
The auctioneer gave a base price of 400 dollars. Li Du shook his head and backed out of the auction, taking some treasure hunters with him.
However, the counter had attracted some bids. Big Beard Carl waited for the unit to slowly reach 600 dollars before he shouted out a bid of 1,000 dollars.
The crowd hesitated. Just like that, the auctioneer asked for a thousand three times, and the storage unit was won by Big Beard Carl.
The third unit was filled with useless household garbage. Li Du shook his head at the crowd, indicating that this unit was worthless.
Seeing this, the auctioneer Humphries was a little unhappy and said in a low voice, "Buddy, you can't ruin my place."
Li Du smiled. "Don't worry, someone will buy this storage unit."
Humphries started bidding, starting from two hundred dollars.
Li Du snapped his fingers and said, "1,000 dollars."
Hearing his bid, many treasure hunters were confused. They had seen him shake his head just now.
However, the value of this storage unit could not be seen from the outside. Most of the treasure hunters hesitated and decided not to bid.
However, someone trusted Li Du's judgment and wanted to give it a try. Hence, he called out, "1,100 dollars."
Li Du licked his lips. At this time, Frank also called out. He looked at Li Du provocatively and said, "2,000 dollars."
Seeing this, Li Du walked back happily and gave Humphries a look.
The old auctioneer laughed until his beard shook.
The fourth storage unit had carpet. The carpet was exposed and most people had seen it. Hence, the bidding was more intense.
Li Du gave Olly a look. In the end, Olly fought his way out of the crowd and won the storage unit for 2,500 dollars.
The profit margin for this storage unit was lower, but he could still make more than 1,000 dollars in the end. It was better than nothing.
Frank had been cheated by him once, so he was much more cautious when bidding. Of course, they were not interested in these storage units. His previous bid was mainly to provoke Li Du.
Li Du was very clear about this, so he set a trap for him. Once he fell into it, he immediately kept it.
The fifth storage unit was worthless. Li Du bid again. He wanted to cheat Frank again. In the end, Frank did not fall for it. He was also a smart man and learned from his mistakes.
The sixth storage unit was won by Ferris. The furniture in the unit was brand new and wrapped in tarpaulins.
Li Du estimated that it could be sold for two to three thousand dollars. Ferris's bid of 500 dollars was considered a bargain.
After the auction ended, everyone paid up and started to clean up.
Ferris saw the furniture after a simple cleaning. He waved his fist excitedly. "Yeah, yeah!"
After that, Big Beard Carl also found something. He opened a box and took out a camera. Then he opened another box and found another camera.
Frank and York were unlucky. The storage unit that was worth 2,000 dollars was full of trash. Frank kicked a woven bag in anger. The bag was not strong enough and broke into pieces. The trash inside fell to the ground.
Reginald comforted the two of them. "Li's storage unit is also worthless. I went to take a look. He will definitely lose money."
Frank glared at him. "What do you mean by that? Comparing us to that stupid Chinaman? "
In the storage unit next to them, Big Beard Carl heard what he said. He walked over and said angrily, "California bitches, if I were you, I would definitely keep my mouth clean in someone else's territory!"
Frank was angry. He pushed Reginald away and walked up to him. "What did you say? Country bumpkin, are you looking for trouble? Come on, I'll play with you … "
As the two of them confronted each other, the treasure hunters who had not left quickly surrounded them.
Li Du and Hans also came. They separated the two of them and said, "Frank, do you feel bad if you don't cause trouble? Or would you die if you don't cause trouble? "
Seeing that Li Du stood up, the other treasure hunters followed.
"Frank Frank, if you want to show off, do it in Los Angeles. Don't look for trouble here!"
"This idiot looks like he needs a beating. What's he doing in Flagstaff?"
"Looking for Li, obviously. Didn't you see that they kept attacking Big Li?"
Frank pointed at the crowd and said, "Shut up and get lost. Don't stand in front of my storage unit!"
York stopped him and shook his head. "That's it. Let's leave this place first, buddy!"
They brought the movers with them. They didn't have to clean up the storage unit themselves.
Under the jeers and jeers of the treasure hunters, the two of them drove away.
