Hans gave Li Du a look and said in a low voice, "Sh * t, why are you still bidding?"
Li Du looked at the people around him without batting an eyelid. He crossed his arms in front of his chest, then used his right hand to point at a corner of the storage unit. He nodded quietly.
Hans turned on his flashlight to take another look. When he came back, he didn't say anything.
The auctioneer held out his hand and said, "Very well, the price is 150 dollars, 150 dollars, 150 dollars. How about 175 dollars, 175 dollars, 175 dollars?"
Li Du pinched his nose again. Clyne raised his hand, but before he could open his mouth, Little Cerci called out, "Two hundred dollars, me, Cerci's."
The auctioneer pointed at Little Cerci and said, "Very well, two hundred dollars has been reached. Does anyone want 225 dollars? Two hundred and twenty-five dollars, two hundred and twenty-five dollars, two hundred and twenty-five dollars? "
Clyne shook his head and left. Hans whistled, Li Du gnawed on his drumstick. Some of the others were hesitant, some were considering, but no one made a bid.
The auctioneer shouted "two hundred dollars" three times, then waved his hand and said, "Two hundred dollars, this storage unit is yours, buddy."
Little Cerci nodded happily, then looked at Li Du and mocked, "Hey, Chinaman, why aren't you bidding?"
Li Du said, "It's all trash inside, why should I continue bidding? Only an idiot would bid for a storage unit like this. "
After saying that, he walked away and continued to the next storage unit.
Clyne, who was also bidding, said to Little Cerci, "Buddy, there's a television in this storage unit that can probably sell for 200 dollars. The rest is all trash. It's fine if you bought it for 100 dollars, but you're making a loss by using 200 dollars."
This was what Li Du had told him.
Little Cerci was furious. "Of course I know, I just don't want those two b * stards to take the storage unit away from me. D * mmit, where did you come from? I don't think you're a stranger. "
Clyne shrugged. "I'm new in this business. We'll get to know each other better in the future."
Hearing that he was new, Little Cerci said, "You have to go through more storage units when you're new. How about I sell this unit to you for 200 dollars?"
Clyne shook his head. "Sorry, I'm new in this business, but that doesn't mean I'm an idiot. Two hundred dollars for a day's worth of labor? Forget it. "
The surrounding treasure hunters started to laugh.
"Little Cerci, you're being mocked by the rookie."
"Don't think that everyone is an idiot."
"That's how the Cerci family is. They always like to show off their cleverness."
"Am I the only one who thinks that this rookie might be related to Big Fox?"
Li Du heard the discussion. He and Hans did not bid for the last two units. Clyne did participate in the bidding, but he only accepted the auctioneer's starting bid. If someone else raised the bid, he would not participate.
Just like that, the two storage units fell into the hands of other treasure hunters.
There were some new toys in the last unit, but they weren't worth much. If not for the welfare home's promise, he wouldn't have been interested in this unit.
The storage unit was neatly organized, and not many things could be seen from the entrance. Hence, the treasure hunters were hesitant about this type of storage unit. This type of storage unit was the hardest to appraise.
The auctioneer did not give them time to think. When the viewing was over, he immediately raised his hand and said, "This looks like an interesting storage unit. I think 50 dollars is a fair price for it. 50 dollars, 50 dollars, 50 dollars …"
Clyne raised the starting bid again. "Me!"
"Very well, 50 dollars has been accepted. How about 75, 75, 75, 75?"
Li Du immediately nodded. "Me!"
Hearing his bid, the treasure hunters did not bid anymore. Little Cerci's failure in the second storage unit was right in front of them. They were starting to be wary of Li Du and Hans.
However, Little Cerci was indignant. After Li Du's bid, the auctioneer raised the price. He followed up again. "One hundred dollars, Cerci family."
The auctioneer smiled and pointed at him. "One hundred dollars has been accepted. How about 125 dollars, 125 dollars? Who's willing to bid?"
Hans smiled at Little Cerci. "Kid, how many people did you bring this time? The storage units that belong to you only have 24 hours. Are you sure that you can clean up two garbage storage units in 24 hours? "
One hundred and twenty-five dollars was taken by a black woman. Now the price had risen to 150 dollars.
Some of the treasure hunters looked at Li Du and Hans. After teasing Little Cerci, they turned and left. It was obvious that they did not intend to participate in the bidding.
Seeing this, the most disappointed person was the auctioneer. He clearly knew how much the approval of the duo would increase the value of the storage unit.
His voice was lowered. "One hundred and seventy-five dollars, one hundred and seventy-five dollars, anyone?"
Clyne raised his hand. "Here."
"Very well, 175 dollars is over. How about 200 dollars, 200 dollars, 200 dollars?"
Little Cerci looked at Clyne suspiciously. He wanted to raise his hand, but when he looked at the messy things in the storage unit, he suddenly looked depressed. He shook his head and gave up the bidding.
Hans was right. The storage unit that he had bid for was too messy. It would be difficult to clean it up in one day.
The black woman raised the price again. Clyne raised the price to 250 dollars.
The other treasure hunters shook their heads. They could not see anything valuable in that storage unit. Although the price was low, they were not willing to take it.
Also, Li Du left after one bid. They were worried that they would follow in Little Cerci's footsteps.
The auctioneer pointed at Clyne and said, "Two hundred fifty, two hundred fifty, two hundred fifty. Now it's two hundred seventy-five, two hundred seventy-five, is there anyone willing?"
No one made a bid. The auctioneer shouted "275 dollars" twice. Then he waved his hand and said, "Very good, rookie. This storage belongs to you. Congratulations on getting two good storage units in Folk Song. You're a lucky kid!"
Hans and Li Du clapped at the back of the crowd. Little Cerci stared at the two of them angrily. "You guys look pretty happy, huh? Don't you feel good that you didn't get a storage unit? I hope you guys won't get a storage unit like this in the future! "
Someone teased, "Little Cerci, not getting a storage unit is better than getting a trash storage unit."
Little Cerci stubbornly said, "I got the trash storage unit for a reason. I want to fulfill my promise. I won't let these two guys take the storage unit away from our Cerci family."
Clyne handed over the money and walked over with two receipts. Hans took the receipts and waved them at Little Cerci. "Sorry, we're going to take the storage unit away from you, and it's two storage units."
Seeing this, all the treasure hunters reacted. More than ten of them shouted in unison, "You guys are in cahoots?"
Hans put his arm around Clyne's shoulder and smiled cunningly. "To be more precise, he's one of us, haha."
