Knowing this, the treasure hunters started bidding like crazy.
There were some boxes and bags in the storage unit, and they were all messy. From the outside, there didn't seem to be anything valuable. However, it was hard to say what was hidden in the boxes.
The treasure hunters couldn't tell, but they believed that Li Du could.
It was rumored in the storage auction circle in Arizona that Li Du had super observational and analytical skills. As long as there was a clue in a pile of boxes, he would be able to deduce what was in the box.
The last few storage auctions had been successful because he had found valuable items in boxes and cabinets.
The treasure hunters trusted his judgment. Hence, when they noticed his interest in the storage unit, they all started bidding.
Hans shouted 1,000 dollars. The price quickly rose to 2,000 dollars, 3,000 dollars, and when he called again, it was only 4,000 dollars.
Li Du nodded, and Hans continued to bid, "4,000 dollars!"
The treasure hunters chased after him. "4,100 dollars!"
"4,200 dollars!"
"4,500 dollars!"
"5,000 dollars!"
Li Du looked at the bidder. It was Big Guy Neo, who had been competing with him earlier.
Seeing this, he shook his head at Hans. The two of them stopped bidding and walked leisurely to the next storage unit with their hands behind their backs.
A treasure hunter asked, "What's the meaning of this?"
Turis also walked forward with his hands behind his back. "Isn't it simple? They've given up. "
"Just like that? What's valuable in there? Only 1,000 dollars short? "
Turis turned around and said, "Who said there's anything valuable in there?"
"Then what's going on?"
Olly said unhappily, "Ask God. Maybe he knows. We don't know what's in there."
"Then what did Li say to you guys just now?"
"He said that this storage unit isn't valuable, and told us not to bid," Dickens said with a laugh.
Neo was dumbfounded. "D * mn it, this b * stard is cheating! This is a fake price! "
Dickens nodded. "Yes, obviously. But no one forced you to bid, right? So if you're at a disadvantage, you're asking for it. "
Big Beard Carl stroked his beard. "You want to compete with Li for the ranking with this level of skill? He really doesn't know life from death! "
The auctioneer called out the price three times before the deal was made. The treasure hunters walked to the next storage unit. Along the way, someone patted Neo on the shoulder and said with pity, "Sorry for the loss, buddy."
"Fuck you, Yumaze!" Neo could only curse loudly.
At the entrance of the eighth storage unit, someone said to Li Du unhappily, "Boss Li, what you're doing is not good. You're making enemies for yourself."
Li Du asked curiously, "I made enemies for myself? Are you sure? I was just quoting a random price. If you were my friend, would you bid against me? "
"Fair competition. What's wrong with that?" That person said.
Li Du said, "That's right, fair bidding. What makes you think that I'm making enemies? I bid fairly, and you bid fairly. We compete fairly. What's the problem? "
The treasure hunters had nothing to say. When they had made their bids, they had indeed harbored ill intentions. They had wanted to use Li Du's foresight to snatch the valuable storage units from his hands.
Li Du knew that this was a little high profile and could easily attract trouble. However, he had no choice but to do it. He had to make an honest bid. Otherwise, there would still be people bidding against him in the future.
The bidding for the eighth storage unit started. This time, he did not make a sound. In the end, Lu Guan won the bid for 1,600 dollars.
Li Du still did not bid for the next three storage units. They were all taken by others.
Just like that, the auction ended. Some of the treasure hunters who were unhappy with him were still happy. They came over and asked, "Hey, Boss Li, are you here for a vacation? Why didn't you get anything? "
"It's not a bad idea to come for a vacation. Scottsdale is a great tourist city. However, you came at the wrong time, buddy. You should come back in another season."
Li Du smiled. "The most important thing is to participate. Friendship comes first."
As he spoke, he went to the entrance of the eighth storage unit. He squatted down in the shade and waved for Big Quinn and Godzilla to come over.
Hans went to the finance department to pay. Neo happened to be behind him in the queue. When he saw him, he asked with an unfriendly expression, "Hey, what are you doing here?"
"Paying. You can't be here for coffee, right?" Hans said in a bad mood.
Neo was shocked. "What do you mean you're paying?"
"Storage units 38 and 50. Those are the two storage units that we won. Of course I have to pay. You can't be thinking that we're really here for a vacation, right?"
Hans took out the sign and handed the money to the cashier. He then took the receipt and waved at Neo. "Goodbye."
Neo was dumbfounded.
At the entrance of the eighth storage unit, which was number 50, a group of treasure hunters was also dumbfounded.
Lu Guan squatted in front of Li Du and played with Ah Meow and Crispy Noodles. It was obvious that they were in cahoots.
Turis asked in surprise, "Hey, Mond, when did you join Li's team?"
Lu Guan said, "Isn't it better to call me Lu Guan? Alright, this might be a little difficult for you guys. Anyway, I've joined Boss Li's team. I'm now his general! "
"Really, Boss Li?" Olly asked.
Li Du nodded. "Yes, I've started a small company. Mond is now a member of my company."
Lu Guan muttered, "Alright, Mond, Mond, I'm still Mond. No one cares about my opinion. I've already changed my name, okay?"
Hans took back the receipt and they could get to work.
Olly and the others gathered at the entrance and asked Li Du, "Boss Li, is your company still hiring? I want to join too. "
"Yes, Boss Li, let me work with you. I don't want to work alone anymore. D * mn it, it's too risky."
"If Mond can join, I should be able to too, right? I can execute any order from the company. I'm very good at it. "
Li Du smiled. "You guys should look for Big Fox. He's in charge of the company's personnel arrangements. I'm not good at this."
After pushing away the hot potato, he started to lead Big Quinn and Godzilla to work.
Godzilla tidied up the entrance and revealed a small antique box. Li Du went in and took it out. "Come, take a look. This is our target."
Hans couldn't be bothered to argue with the treasure hunters. He quickly walked over and asked, "What is this? You saw this? Oh, this is a cigar moisturizer box! "
Seeing that Li Du had found something, the other treasure hunters also gathered around. Olly said, "Did you get a cigar moisturizer box? Boss Li's eyes are too good. Buddy, this box is quite valuable. "
Hans took the small box and looked at it. Then, he opened it.
Once the box was opened, there was a gasp. "Hiss!"
