Two thousand dollars was Li Du's base price for the first storage unit. The toilets in the storage unit looked high-end, but they were all broken. It would cost a lot of money to fix them.
He was willing to pay this price because the 14 boxes were full of unopened daily necessities. He could make some money selling them to the general store.
There were not many treasure hunters at the storage auction today because there were still ten storage units being auctioned in Phoenix. There were also storage companies in Tempe holding auctions, so the treasure hunters were split up.
In addition, there were a few people who had not seen the contents of the storage unit, so the competition for the first storage unit was not fierce.
Felix decisively bid and finally won the storage unit with a base price of two thousand dollars.
The treasure hunters from Flagstaff did not compete, which was one of the reasons he was able to win the storage unit.
After winning the storage unit, Felix smiled with satisfaction. He locked his door and said, "Guys, if we make money, I'll pay for the next party."
"Deal, I want to drink the Golden Tequila."
"F * ck you!"
The atmosphere among the Flagstaff treasure hunters was good. With Li Du leading the team, they were all confident in their gains. Even if they did not get a storage unit, they would still be able to get a big meal.
The treasure hunters from other places were unhappy. Someone asked, "Are you guys in an alliance? Splitting the money together? "
Olly laughed, "No, it's just that we don't want this storage unit. Let's go to the second storage unit to fight."
When the door of the second storage unit opened, Li Du was still standing at the back of the group. The few treasure hunters who had been competing with him earlier did not dare to follow him anymore.
There was still someone who did not give up and still stood behind Li Du. He did not believe it and said, "I must teach him a lesson today. I must let him know that Scottsdale has a lot of tough guys!"
When Li Du heard this, he smiled and did not say anything.
When the people in front of him had gone to the entrance of the storage unit, everyone's eyes were on him. He looked at the people behind him playfully and walked forward.
Seeing this, the treasure hunters who were jealous of him started to laugh. The big man behind him even crossed his arms in a heroic manner, as if he had done something great.
In the end, Li Du did not go to the entrance of the storage unit. He walked forward, took the auctioneer's chair, and sat down.
While the treasure hunters were viewing the storage units, the auctioneers had nothing to do. Hence, they brought along chairs and cups of water so that they could rest at any time.
When the tour was almost over, he stood up to organize the auction, and the chair was empty.
Seeing Li Du sit down, Hans laughed and shouted, "Big Quinn, bring a bottle of beer over."
Big Quinn, who was chatting with Godzilla in the shade at the door, responded and brought a bottle of beer for Li Du.
The auctioneer gestured for the security guard to close the door. The treasure hunter behind Li Du was anxious. He wanted to see what was going on inside, but he could not bring himself to do so.
The storage unit was sold for 2,500 dollars. Flagstaff did not get anything.
After the third storage unit was opened, Li Du still stood at the back of the line. This time, no one came to provoke him. They all lined up in front of him.
Someone mocked him, "Neo, my old friend, why are you here? You're not the Scottsdale tough guy anymore? "
Neo replied angrily, "I'm a tough guy to begin with, but I'm not a lunatic. I don't compete with lunatics."
The treasure hunters lined up to view the storage units. Li Du walked leisurely at the back of the line. He took one last glance and left without looking closely.
A treasure hunter from Phoenix asked, "Hey, Big Li, why don't you take a good look? Do you have any information? "
Li Du said lazily, "No, I don't know anything. I'm just not stupid. These storage units obviously belong to a hotel. Would there be anything valuable in a storage unit abandoned by a hotel?"
Hearing his words, the treasure hunters nodded in agreement. What he said made sense.
All the way to storage unit number five, Li Du only took a quick glance. He did not show any interest in these storage units. That way, the treasure hunters who were staring at him lost interest as well.
However, the people from Flagstaff were very enthusiastic. All three storage units were bought by them. The prices were not high; the most expensive one was only 1,500 dollars.
When it came to the sixth storage unit, Li Du took one look and left. He shook his head at Hans, who indicated that he understood. When the auctioneer called out the price, the two of them did not bid.
Li Du was the undisputed leader of this auction. Many people were waiting for his reaction, including the auctioneer. Li Du's reputation in Arizona was already very well known.
Seeing that he was not interested, the auctioneer lowered the starting price. "This storage unit is a little messy, but I believe you all have found something. So I bid 200 dollars, 200 dollars, 200 dollars …"
A skinny white man raised his hand and said, "Two hundred dollars, okay!"
The treasure hunters looked over. The treasure hunters from Flagstaff were stunned. "Hey, Mond Conrad, buddy, you're not doing old goods trading anymore? You're doing storage auctions now?"
Mond Conrad said seriously, "Please call me Lu Guan. If you don't know how to pronounce it, I'm willing to teach you."
The auctioneer was not interested in their conversation. He raised his hand and continued to bid, "Okay, now we have 200 dollars. How about 300 dollars, 300 dollars, 300 dollars?"
"Okay!" Another treasure hunter nodded.
"300 dollars, 300 dollars, 300 dollars. How about 400 dollars, 400 dollars, 400 dollars, 400 dollars?"
"Okay." Another treasure hunter made a bid.
Lu Guan raised his hand and said, "I bid 500 dollars."
The price began to rise from 500 dollars to 1,000 dollars, and then there was no more movement.
The auctioneer shouted, "1,000 dollars, 1,000 dollars, 1,000 dollars. Is there no higher bid? Then 1,000 dollars going once, 1,000 dollars going twice …"
"One thousand one hundred dollars!" Lu Guan said in time, but he looked hesitant.
The treasure hunter who had bid 1,000 dollars wanted to continue bidding, but his partner shook his head at him. The two of them discussed it for a while, and finally did not continue bidding.
Lu Guan won the storage unit for 1,100 dollars.
When it came to the seventh storage unit, Li Du looked at it and whispered to Hans. The treasure hunters from Flagstaff gathered around them. Li Du gave them a few words of advice, and they all nodded.
The other treasure hunters saw this and became interested. They did not know what Li Du and Hans had said, nor did they know what Li Du had said to the crowd, but it was definitely related to the auction.
The auctioneer also noticed this scene. He guessed that Li Du was interested in this storage unit, so he shouted, "There seems to be something different in this storage unit, so the starting price is higher — 1,000 dollars, 1,000 dollars, 1,000 dollars!"
Hans nodded and said, "One thousand dollars, I'll buy it."
The Flagstaff treasure hunters retreated to the back of the crowd, obviously not intending to bid.
At this point, the treasure hunters could guess what Li Du had said. He must have discussed with Hans that he wanted to buy this storage unit, and told the other treasure hunters not to bid.
