Chapter 29 Your brother is still your brother!
Inside the first container was a pile of soaked furniture and a few suitcases.
The suitcase is full of clothes and commonly used small electrical appliances.
But these are of no value anymore.
There were bunches of kelp wrapped around it. It seemed that the container had fallen into the sea for a long time, otherwise the kelp would not have grown so big.
The second and third cabinets are similar to the first cabinet.
Although the furniture and clothes are all famous brands, they have obviously become garbage after being soaked in water for so long, and there are still some marine shells, snails and other things crawling on them.
The fourth container also contained furniture, but when Zhu Yu saw a small box in the corner, his eyes lit up!
Finally something worth betting on!
He wrote down these things and when he was about to look at the fifth container, he felt dizzy and immediately closed his eyes.
"Okay, everyone is here, come on, everyone, we are ready to open the first container!"
"I want to tell you some surprising news. After investigation, two of these containers came from Dubai!
Think about it, that is Dubai! It is said that there is gold everywhere and there are beautiful women everywhere. If you can find gold in it, then you will be lucky!
Of course, it would also be nice if you get a beautiful woman..."
The auctioneer invited by the owner of the salvage ship was very humorous. He aroused everyone's interest with just a few words, and everyone present also joked:
“Maybe there’s really good stuff in there!”
In fact, the container has not been opened, so no one dares to say that it will be a bet.
Someone came over and used a pipe wrench to open the rusty lock of the container. Everyone immediately looked inside.
A small stream of sea water leaked out, and a fishy smell filled the air.
Looking inside, furniture soaked in seawater came into view.
"Oooooo!" A tall white man laughed sarcastically, "Is this all rubbish? I don't even want it for free!"
"There's nothing good in this container!"
"I think we'd better go! Those people who left first were so smart!"
"What idiots! Why don't you wrap things that are transported by sea with waterproof things?"
…
Some complained, while others observed carefully.
Old Madden came closer and peered through the cracks in the furniture.
Zhu Yu also came over and pretended to look inside.
Viewed from this angle, the suitcases look quite put together.
After Ma Deng finished reading, he smiled and asked Zhu Yu:
"Zhu, how are you? Do you want to take a picture?"
"If it's less than 100, I'll take the photo!" Zhu Yu said directly.
Madden shook his head, shrugged, and said nothing.
"Okay, let's start the auction, with a base price of twenty dollars and an increase of five dollars each time..."
The auctioneer was not optimistic about this container either, and the reserve price offered was really not high.
"Twenty-five dollars." Zhu Yu was the first to quote.
"Thirty dollars!" Old Madden didn't show any weakness and followed closely.
Another person directly added $50.
Only these three people made quotations, and everyone else was watching the excitement.
Zhu Yu simply gave up. There was nothing worth buying here.
In the end, Madden took over the container for $125.
Zhu Yu made the same price for the next container, fifty-five dollars, and he took it.
After the container was opened, the contents were even more tattered. It was almost all furniture and there was not even a suitcase. Zhu Yu had to clean the cabinet.
He didn't take a picture of the third one, but entered the second container, looked around pretendingly, and finally walked out dejectedly.
There's really nothing valuable in here.
On the surface, it seems like a loss.
When he came out, the fourth container had just been opened, and Zhu Yu immediately stepped forward.
Someone knew Zhu Yu, saw him coming, and joked:
"Zhu, how's it going? Are there any good things in there?"
"No, they are worse than shit!" Zhu Yu complained.
"Then you still take pictures?" another person asked.
"Why don't you shoot? I lost fifty-five dollars and I have to make it back!"
"Haha! Zhu Ye sometimes makes mistakes!" Everyone always likes to see other people's failures.
In response to the ridicule of others, Zhu Yu gave a fierce middle finger.
He probably defeated four Hispanics in a one-on-one fight. He was so famous that no one continued to provoke them.
The fourth container opened and some people simply left.
Seaweed and kelp are all growing in these containers. It seems that they have been soaked in water for a long time, and ordinary things are almost rotten.
At this time, Madden also came over, looking unhappy.
"Okay, the starting price for this container is fifty dollars, and each increase is ten dollars..."
The auctioneer opened his mouth, and Zhu Yu made the first bid:
"One hundred dollars!"
He had just said that he wanted to regain his position, so others were not surprised by Zhu Yu's performance.
Old Madden hesitated and increased the price:
"One hundred and twenty dollars!"
"One hundred and fifty dollars!" Zhu Yu increased the price without hesitation.
Old Madden threw up his hands and gave up. He had looked through it, but he couldn't see anything good in it either.
Everything belongs to Zhu Yu.
Everyone else was watching the fun and didn't think they could find anything valuable here.
Zhu Yu just glanced at the fifth container and found that there seemed to be something wrapped more tightly inside.
But he no longer plans to take pictures.
Just this one container is enough.
Look at the furniture, they are all brand names, leather sofas, high-end beds, solid wood luxury cabinets.
Zhu Yu opened the cabinet door, and a big octopus fell out of it!
"Oh! Oh my God!" Zhu Yu shouted.
The people who were auctioning nearby rushed over immediately, thinking that Zhu Yu had discovered something good.
As a result, I saw a big octopus that was still twisting and turning, and I was immediately booed.
But Zhu Yu was quite happy. Even if he didn't get it, this big octopus weighing two to three kilograms was still enough to eat!
Without the sea water, the octopus could only be entangled in Zhu Yu's hands. Zhu Yu simply poured out the contents of a box and stuffed the octopus into it.
At this time, the No. 5 container next to it had been auctioned for US$560. Because the container was open, many people could see the tightly wrapped wooden box inside.
The person who photographed this container was a black man. After he paid the money, the first thing he did was to take out the tightly wrapped box and open it!
Inside the box was a complete set of game consoles with a helmet!
Because it is wrapped in tarpaulin and the box itself is waterproof, the game console can still work normally!
"Wow! One thousand dollars, at least one thousand dollars!" someone shouted.
This is the only container that is making money today.
The black man immediately laughed triumphantly, like a victorious general.
Some people congratulated the black people on their good luck, while others turned and left.
After watching the excitement, it was time to change places to find money.
The black man waved the game console in front of old Madden and Zhu Yu, winked proudly, then collected a hundred dollars from the waiting man and staggered away.
Only then did Zhu Yu find the wooden jewelry box in the corner.
The jewelry box has been soaked in water, and some of the decorations on the surface have fallen off. It looks no different from ordinary garbage.
Zhu Yu carried the jewelry box and threw it into the box with the octopus. He also gave the rag picker two hundred dollars, pointed to the two containers, greeted the person in charge of the salvage ship, and left.
All that's left is unpacking time!
Chapter completed!
