In Conrad's heart, he was the son of George Anthony. Although George Anthony was now in New York, he was the treasure hunting tycoon of Arizona. As the son of the Arizona treasure hunting tycoon, he was naturally the prince here.
Therefore, when he came to Phoenix and met the Tucson Brotherhood, he did not feel annoyed when the Tucson Brotherhood came to flatter him. Instead, he took advantage of the situation and accepted them.
What happened in the parking lot yesterday, he knew that Princeps was using him, but he did not mind it because it reflected his energy and value.
Conrad had been doing business with his father since he was a child. He was very clear that the relationship between people was a mutual exchange of interests. If he could not bring benefits to others, why would others flatter him?
Now, it was Princeps' turn to bring benefits to him, but he found that Princeps was unwilling to stand up for him!
The treasure hunters who were watching had the same idea as him. They also thought that Carl and Olly were bidding for the warehouse at Li Du's behest and that it was a contest between the two bosses.
As a result, they found that the Flagstaff treasure hunters were very cohesive. Li Du did not have to say anything, and they would defend Li Du's dignity and fight against Conrad.
On Conrad's side, the Tucson gang did not buy it, and he had to compete with the Flagstaff treasure hunters himself.
Hence, some treasure hunters jeered, "Young Master Anthony, this is Arizona, not New York. Your servant is not here. You have to do everything yourself."
"There is no profit in this warehouse. What's there to compete for? The more you compete, the more humiliating you will be. Forget it. "
"I thought the Tucson gang was his lackey. It seems that the Tucson guys still have some dignity."
These words sounded like they were giving Conrad a way out, but in fact, they were roasting him on the fire, forcing him to continue to fight with the Flagstaff treasure hunters so that they could continue to watch the show.
Conrad did not speak and stared at Princeps with a fierce look.
Princeps made a prompt decision and ordered his men, "Bid and take this warehouse."
The Tucson treasure hunters pretended not to hear him, and some even looked at Princeps with dissatisfaction. Their boss's performance was too embarrassing.
The white glove did not want to waste time, and he did not have time to waste. No one from Conrad or the Tucson gang made a bid, so he waved his hand and said, "One hundred and twenty one thousand, one hundred and twenty one thousand, sold!"
Hearing this, Princeps panicked and quickly said, "Hey, buddy, you have to give us some time …"
White Gloves said, "We don't have that much time. Open the next warehouse!"
"This is against the rules," Princeps complained.
It didn't matter if he broke the rules, but he had offended Conrad. That was the main point. He wanted to hug Conrad's thigh tightly.
Another treasure hunter laughed gloatingly. "Ha, Princeps, you also know that this is against the rules, but doesn't Tucson always do this?"
Many of the treasure hunters here were Arizona natives. They had suffered at the hands of Princeps and the local treasure hunters in Tucson, so they were very happy to see him suffer.
The Flagstaff treasure hunters were the happiest. A group of them high-fived each other. Olly shouted, "I've got it. Kid, go back to New York. You can't get a storage unit in Arizona."
Conrad's face was ashen. Losing the unit was a small matter, but losing face was a big deal.
He glared fiercely at Princeps and walked forward with a gloomy face.
Princeps felt wronged and said angrily to the people around him, "What are you doing? Didn't you hear what I said just now? What's going on? "
A big man couldn't take it anymore and said, "Boss Princeps, you know what's going on. We don't want to be dogs. It's that simple."
Princeps grabbed the big man's collar and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? Who's a dog? You know who that kid's father is. You also know how good it is for us to be on good terms with him … "
Someone else said angrily, "How good is it for you to be on good terms with him? He doesn't even know our names. What can we gain by following him? "
This was what the Tucson treasure hunters were most dissatisfied about. Princeps led them to flatter Conrad in order to benefit himself, not the treasure hunters.
Someone came up and patted Princeps on the shoulder. "Do you see the difference? Li leads his men to get rich, and he even prioritizes them to get rich. So his men follow him loyally. What about you? "
Hearing this, Princeps was furious. He shook off the arm on his shoulder and was about to get angry when he realized that it was Magic Hand Johnson who had spoken. He wanted to get angry but didn't dare to.
After the Broken Halberd motorcycle storage unit, Conrad felt that he had lost face. He kept a low profile and didn't bid for storage units that were in the limelight.
The Flagstaff treasure hunters were the most active group at the scene. They frequently bid and won storage units. Almost all of the forty to fifty people got something, and some even got more than one storage unit.
The local Phoenix treasure hunters were full of envy and jealousy. Someone said sourly, "You guys are really bold to bid. Are you robbing a bank? You're really rich. "
Dickens laughed. "We're really rich. How can we not make money by following Boss Li?"
The first day of the storage auction ended amidst the arguments and noise.
On the first day, except for storage unit number 10, Li Du did not bid for anything else.
It wasn't until the second day of the large storage auction that he gave Lu Guan and Hans a look and let the two of them win two storage units that were piled up with minerals.
These minerals were all obtained illegally. Some were obtained from investigating illegal cars, and some were obtained from seizing private black mine sites.
Minerals were of little value. Most treasure hunters didn't like them because they had very few customers. Only some smelters would buy them.
However, smelters didn't like to accept these kinds of individual buyers. Even if they did, the prices were low. Buying the minerals in this way was a waste of effort and didn't make much money. Naturally, the treasure hunters weren't willing to take them.
Since no one was willing to take them, the price of the storage units would be low.
Under Li Du's instructions, Lu Guan won the two storage units at a price of less than 21,000 dollars. One had to know that the starting price of these storage units was also 10,000 dollars.
The auction ended in the evening of the second day. After two consecutive days of bidding under the scorching sun, the treasure hunters were very tired. After the auction ended, they quickly dispersed to rest.
The Flagstaff treasure hunters were also preparing to leave. However, when they saw Li Du walking towards an ore storage unit, they followed him and crowded around him.
Princeps was standing next to the ore storage unit. He had also won a few ore storage units because the prices of these storage units were low and there was less pressure from the competition. It was in line with the Tucson gang's extensive auction style.
Seeing Li Du walking towards him with a group of people, he said angrily, "Hey, kid, what do you want? Do you want to fight? "
Li Du looked at him strangely and said, "What do I want? I'm here to lock my storage unit. "
