When the bid of 10,000 dollars was announced, the atmosphere cooled down a little. Some people started to shake their heads and back away.
Hans was a little excited. The F1 Formula race was also known as the Golden Car Race. It was not an exaggeration to say that the car parts were all made of gold.
Although it was just a seat and a steering wheel, as long as they were not damaged, they could still be used. It would not be a problem to sell them for 780,000 dollars.
If they could get these things for 10,000 dollars, they would have made a fortune.
However, the atmosphere only cooled down for a while, and then it became heated again.
"Twelve thousand dollars, here, here!"
"Thirteen thousand dollars, d * mn, this is crazy."
"Fourteen thousand dollars, look here!"
Hans shrugged at Li Du and laughed at himself. "I knew it wouldn't be easy to get this storage unit. Fifteen thousand dollars, get it!"
Someone else followed up. Hans wanted to bid again, but Li Du shook his head and said, "Let's wait for a while. Look over there, that guy hasn't made a move yet."
He was referring to Rambis's mustached brother-in-law. This man looked at the bidding crowd coldly, a disdainful smile on his face.
"I really want to hit that guy's face with a hammer. Let's see if he can still smile without a nose bridge," Hans said angrily.
Li Du said, "We'll have a chance to smile later."
The price kept rising, and the bidding became heated. The treasure hunters were talking about it. Some of them did not know the value of this storage unit.
"Hey, Powell, you look like you're determined to get it today. What's up?"
"Rand, what's going on? What's in this storage unit?"
"Sh * t, the price has reached 15,000 dollars. Is there a gold mine in there?"
The fat Rambis said to the mustached man, "Brother-in-law, what's in this storage unit? The price is too high. "
The mustached man whispered, "Lower your voice, there are Ferrari car parts inside. They're very valuable!"
Rambis was shocked. "Huh? How did you know? "
The mustached man said proudly, "I just know. Because I have strong connections and information channels!"
He was just saying that. In fact, he had spent money to buy this information. This was also a common way of obtaining information in storage auctions.
The price went from 15,000 to 20,000, and the atmosphere started to cool down.
At this moment, the bearded man, who had been watching from the sidelines, knew that it was time for him to make a move. He raised his hand and said, "Thirty thousand dollars!"
"Roar! Roar!" The surrounding people roared.
"Karl, you really are a beast!"
"Thirty thousand? I bet he's playing with fire!"
"F * ck, Powell, if we cooperate, you won't have enough money, right?"
Raising the price by 10,000 dollars in one go, some treasure hunters with insider information had no choice but to withdraw from the bidding.
The auctioneer pointed at the man with a small mustache and said, "Now someone is bidding 30,000, 30,000, so I want to know if anyone will accept it if it's 31,000, 31000, 31,000."
Only three or four treasure hunters had expressions of interest on their faces. However, their gazes were still on the fourth storage unit, and their expressions were hesitant.
Seeing this, Li Du understood that these three or four people were more informed than Hans. Not only did they know that there were Ferrari parts here, but they also knew that the parts were most likely to be hidden in these two warehouses.
Among them, the moustache man's information was probably the most accurate. He seemed to be certain that the parts were currently in the warehouse.
Li Du was also sure of that. He also knew the specific situation of the steering wheel and the seats.
Earlier, when they were touring the storage units, he had released the little bug again and discovered some information that he had overlooked before: the steering wheel had a flaw.
The steering wheel of a Formula One racing car was not circular, but was shaped like a butterfly with two square wings. There were a lot of electronic control buttons and various information display devices on it, which were very expensive.
However, there was no electrical circuit behind the buttons on the steering wheel. It was sealed with glue.
After seeing this, he did some research on the Internet. Some drivers said that there was a problem with this steering wheel, so the price was worth half.
Now, he did not know if the moustache man and the others also knew about the problem with the steering wheel, so he was a little hesitant to bid. When he heard the auctioneer shout, "30000, going once," he nodded and said, "I'll take this one!"
"Very good, then 31000 has been accepted. Now it's 32000, 32,000, 32,000!" the auctioneer shouted happily.
The moustache man was unhappy. He looked at Li Du with a gloomy face and gritted his teeth. "32000, OK!"
Hans said in a low voice, "Keep bidding. Anyone who buys this storage unit for less than 50,000 will make a profit."
Li Du thought for a while and said, "Not necessarily. If it really goes up to 50,000, then we'll have to take a risk. But we can't let this guy take it. Let's spoil the game!"
If there was a problem with the steering wheel, then there would be no profit for 50,000.
He did not understand the moustache man's character, so he did not dare to recklessly bid with him. Otherwise, it would be like the first storage unit. If this guy stopped bidding halfway, then the storage unit would be in Li Du's hands.
In the end, he still did not know how much the moustache man and the others knew about the steering wheel and the seats. If they also knew that there was a problem with the steering wheel, then it was hard to say who would be the one playing.
Hans was still slowly bidding with the moustache man. The price had risen to 35,000.
The moustache man raised his hand with a gloomy face and said, "36000, me!"
Seeing this, Li Du decided not to take the risk. He shook his head and said, "We'll quit. We don't have that much money to bid. We'll give up the steering wheel and seats of the F1 Ferrari team."
His voice was very loud, and almost all the treasure hunters heard him.
Just like that, the crowd became lively again.
"Sh * t, what did he say? Did I hear it right? F1 Ferrari team? "
"This is definitely a storage unit for racing enthusiasts, but are there really formula racing parts in there?"
"God bless us, this Chinese guy has a good source of information. Should we trust him?"
The moustache man's face became gloomier and gloomier.
Li Du nonchalantly patted the storage unit next door and said, "We don't have enough money. Tell everyone that these two storage units are filled with racing car parts and repair tools."
Looking at the restless crowd, he pointed to the current storage unit again. "But the Ferrari parts are in this storage unit. I dare to swear on my reputation that if the parts are not in there, you can call me a stupid yellow monkey!"
Hearing this, a few of the treasure hunters who had been hesitant suddenly became spirited and raised their hands to bid.
"37000, mine!"
"I'll bid 38000!"
"40000, no problem!"
The moustache man, who had been sneering, suddenly changed his expression. He stared at Li Du fiercely, gritted his teeth and said, "F * ck, d * mn yellow monkey!"
Li Du gave him the middle finger and said, "Keep laughing, buddy. The one who laughs last is the winner!"
