The old goods auction market was a small market. If there were no particularly attractive items, each transaction would only be worth 100,000 to 500,000 dollars.
This was incomparable to the art auction market, where transactions were worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. Therefore, if a big shot appeared, it would have a great impact on the old goods auction market.
Suradi Feuille must have heard rumors that he was spending lavishly in town and deliberately brought forward the auction by a day.
For the auction, this was not a big impact. After all, there were now two auctions a week, and the frequency was very high.
Li Du readily agreed. He would definitely go to the auction tomorrow evening.
However, what he did not tell Feuille was that if the other party expected him to foolishly spend a lot of money at the auction, then he was really thinking too much.
Unless there was something at the auction that contained time energy, he might not buy anything and just join in the fun.
The next day, Li Du had nothing to do and continued to stroll around the town.
This time, he was looking for some things that contained time energy that he had missed the day before to continue to replenish the little bug's energy so that it could eat its fill.
Many old goods traders in Horseshoe Town regarded Li Du as the god of wealth. They were like prostitutes, going to the door to solicit customers when they saw him. The only thing they lacked was to say, "Sir, come in and have a good time."
Hans was puzzled. "What kind of things did you exchange for? How do you make money? "
Li Du smiled gently and said, "Don't worry, have you done what I arranged for you? It will definitely make you money. "
Hans nodded. "I've done this. The salvage boat and crane are on the way, but we have to wait a little longer. It's not easy for the crane to come in."
Li Du snapped his fingers and said, "Don't worry."
After lunch and strolling until evening, they drove to Feuille's auction house in town.
Unlike Hoffman's auction house, this auction house was indoors and was remodeled from a tall building.
This building used to be a casino and was beautifully decorated. Later, the casino moved and the house became empty. Old Feuille rented it at a low price and turned it into an old goods auction house.
Li Du and the others got out of the car in the parking lot and looked up to see a wide two-story building. The building covered an area of tens of thousands of square meters and was very imposing.
Looking at the building, he lamented, "Go back and tell the people at Hoffman's market, look at this place, how grand is it? How classy is it? Even Christie's and Sotheby's auction houses can't compare, right? "
Brother Wolf said, "Far from it."
"Have you participated in Christie's or Sotheby's auctions?" Li Du asked.
Brother Wolf said, "I participated in the spring and autumn auctions in Berlin and Hamburg. I was in charge of security and coordination. It was very luxurious."
Li Du understood Brother Wolf's character. He was low-key, down-to-earth, and cautious. If he could describe Christie's and Sotheby's auctions as' very luxurious, 'then it must be very luxurious!
When they walked into the auction house, they didn't feel very imposing anymore.
The hardware of the building was built by the casino. At that time, it took a lot of effort. The hardware had a long lifespan, so even after a few years, it still looked very magnificent.
However, the software maintenance needed to be done by the auction house. The auction house was definitely not as rich as the casino, so they basically didn't need to maintain it.
The building was empty and divided into two floors. It was a bit like a loft apartment building. The first floor was the hall, and the second floor was surrounded by a circle of platforms.
In the north of the hall, there was a stage. Behind the stage was a curtain. Once the curtain was pulled open, the auction items could be displayed.
Further out, the front and the left and right sides of the platform were the audience seats. The platform on the upper two floors could also hold a lot of people.
When Li Du and the others arrived, there were already a lot of people standing inside. Most of them were black and white, but there were also some Native Americans.
When they came in, the people who were chatting turned to look, not only at Li Du, but also at their team. After all, it was very rare to see a child attending an auction.
Li Du could understand that Brother Wolf brought Ivana with him everywhere he went. His other family members had all died in the terrorist attack. Only this daughter of his was his only support.
At that time, the terrorist attack happened when he was leaving home. It had a great impact on him, and he didn't dare to leave his family.
Similarly, Ivana was also full of fear of the outside world because of the terrorist attack. Only her father could give her a sense of security.
Seeing Li Du, Suradi Feuillet came over to shake his hand and said, "Please, let's go upstairs. I have reserved a place for you."
The view upstairs was better. Only important customers could go up. Anyone could come in on the first floor, including interested tourists.
In short, upstairs was the VIP room.
Not long after Li Du and the others sat down, someone came upstairs. He turned his head and saw that it was a familiar face. It was Fox, the fox he had met when he first came to town.
Seeing Li Du, Fox smiled and waved enthusiastically. "Hi, Li, we meet again. We have a lot of fate between us."
He brought his friend and sat down casually. Brother Wolf quietly stood behind Li Du, slightly leaning towards Fox. This place could be used to attack and defend.
This was the quality of professional bodyguards. Godzilla and Big Quinn had the strength and could fight, but they didn't know how to protect a person, how to contain risks and prevent crises.
Li Du extended his hand in a friendly manner and said, "What have you taken a fancy to tonight? Can you give me some pointers? You know, I just entered this market. "
Fox said, "Nothing, just came to join in the fun. The main thing is that I don't have much money, not as rich as you."
His words were a little sour.
As he said that, a white man behind him said unhappily, "Yeah, you're so rich, why are you still competing with us for our small market?"
When one person complained, everyone else followed.
"That's right, buddy. We all know your name. You're a very good storage auction treasure hunter. Why don't you just focus on your storage auction business?"
"Have you thought it through? Isn't your appetite a little too big? Old goods auctions are different from storage auctions. "
"These two days, he's traded a lot of things, but they're all junk, right? How's the loss? Hasn't he learned his lesson? "
The people around them started to quarrel. Fox looked on coldly. After they quarreled for a while, he said in a fair manner, "Be friendly, my good buddy. Li's addition has strengthened our old goods treasure hunter team. Isn't that a good thing?"
As he said that, he patted Li Du on the shoulder and added, "Don't mind it, Li. Guys are straightforward. Maybe it's not nice to say it, but you really need to accumulate experience. These two days, you've traded a lot, but you didn't get much, did you?"
Li Du smiled. "These two days, I'm just playing around. I'm going to take out two million to test the waters."
Hearing this, the faces of the treasure hunters, including Fox, changed.
