Chapter 42: High-price auction!(1/2)
"If it were all barbed wire, it would be worth several thousand dollars," someone speculated.
"I think there must be something behind..."
"Who knows? If you want to make big money, you have to take risks!"
"If it doesn't exceed two thousand, I'll take the photo!"
"Actually, I think with so many containers, this one is pretty good..."
Everyone expressed their opinions.
Some people really think that way, and Zhu Yu thinks that some people are just confusing others.
Madden’s eight-power lens is very eye-catching. Someone asked him:
"Old Madden, what did you see?"
"I didn't see it clearly. I think there should be a tractor or something inside. There must be something!"
Before anyone could get excited, Old Madden added:
"But I don't know whether the things inside are good or bad."
Well, it's like pouring cold water over it.
The auctioneer saw that everyone had seen it, and immediately started the auction:
"The base price is eight hundred U.S. dollars. Each increase will not be less than fifty U.S. dollars. Now the auction is starting. Who will be the first to bid? Who will be the first bidder? Zhu, a young man from China, will be the first to bid. His bid is eight hundred and fifty U.S. dollars..."
…”
The auctioneer once again displayed his unique accent.
Before Zhu Yu's hand fell, Old Madden had already raised his hand to bid:
"One thousand dollars!"
Soon, the price soared to $3,000, and then the frequency of quotes slowly dropped.
When the quotation reached $5,500, only three people were left.
Old Madden suddenly raised the price to eight thousand dollars in a loud voice!
Zhu Yu was startled, Old Maden was so cruel!
But he also knows that this time the container is bound to be obtained!
"Nine thousand dollars!" Zhu Yu increased the price by five hundred dollars.
Another bearded man also continued to increase his prices:
"Eleven thousand dollars!"
Old Madden once again offered a high price:
"Fifteen thousand dollars!"
Zhu Yu doubted whether he had guessed what was inside, but this time he would not give in easily:
"Twenty thousand dollars!"
This offer not only scared away the bearded man, but also frightened old Madden!
Old Madden took a serious look at Zhu Yu, shook his head and said:
"You win, the stuff is yours!"
Zhu Yu smiled.
He knew that Old Madden saw his determination.
The old treasure hunter didn't want to lose both sides with Zhu Yu.
After the auctioneer made three bids, congratulations to Zhu Yu for winning this auction.
After Zhu Yu paid the money, he began to clean up these things.
Jason came over immediately to help.
While moving things, he asked Zhu Yu:
"Zhu, can these things be paid back?"
Zhu Yu was still thinking about the other container with the sports car and answered casually:
"It depends on what can be found inside. Auctioning the container is a gamble in itself..."
"Then why did you have to take a picture of this container?"
Zhu Yu already knew the result, so it was easy to deduce the unknown from the result.
He pointed to the shelves and the barbed wire and asked Jason:
"What do you think these things are for?"
Jason stopped, scratched his head, and said with some uncertainty:
"If I'm not mistaken, these should be... used in pastures? Barbed wire should be used to stop livestock, and these iron frames should be used to fix the barbed wire, right?"
"Exactly!" Zhu Yu gave a thumbs up, "Think about it, if there were all barbed wire behind this, there would be at least five or six hundred rolls.
These barbed wire fences are all new, and new ones online now cost fifty dollars per roll. I calculated it as second-hand goods that are 90% new. Forty-five dollars per roll, is it at least more than twenty thousand dollars?"
Jason nodded, with a look of admiration on his face.
Sure enough, I followed Zhu and learned a trick!
"And I think it may not all be barbed wire inside." Zhu Yu said while moving things, "Containers usually contain more important things. Let me take a look..."
He climbed up the barbed wire fence, looked inside, and immediately put on an expression of surprise:
"Oh my God! Guess what I saw? Oh my God!"
Jason didn't expect Zhu Yu to have such an expression at all. Unable to restrain himself, Jason also climbed up the wire fence. After pulling out two bundles, he looked inside.
"Wooo! Oh my God!"
Jason also made a sound of surprise.
This sound attracted several people who were auctioning.
Someone shouted:
"Poor Jason, what did you see?"
Jason didn’t mind the title and said with a smile:
"You'll never in your life guess what this is!"
"Say it quickly, don't wait for me to come up and kick your ass!" The people outside were impatient and cursed.
"It's a helicopter!" Jason laughed and said, "Zhu got rich this time!"
It is indeed a small one-man helicopter.
The reason why Zhu Yu wanted to take pictures of this container was because he saw this big guy!
Although Zhu Yu didn't know much about the helicopter, it was obviously a very simple small single-person helicopter.
But it's a helicopter!
No matter how cheap it is, it’s still more expensive than a car, right?
This is the reason why Zhu Yu is obsessed with this container!
When they found out there was a helicopter inside, everyone else was also shocked.
Madden shrugged:
"I am no longer envious of Zhu's good luck. It is impossible to be envious!"
Zhu Yu retorted with a smile:
"Actually, I think your luck is good. When you only saw me win, how many days did I not earn a penny and didn't you tell me?"
"Okay, okay, that's what you Chinese are like." Old Madden shook his head: "Then, will you compete with me for the next container?"
"Let's see if there are any good things." Zhu Yu was vague.
He would not take the initiative to turn down an opportunity to make money.
I called Old John. Old John was also very surprised. When he learned that Zhu Yu spent 20,000 yuan to take the photo, he laughed and said:
"Zhu, you are the most cost-effective investment in my life! Okay, I'll contact buyers for you. There are many people who want the ranch!"
Zhu Yu simply stopped sorting these things and waited until someone came to evaluate them.
Let Jason look at these things, and he wandered over there, intending to continue taking pictures.
In two or three containers, he raised the price to more than 8,000 US dollars and then gave up. This also made others feel that Zhu Yu really wanted to shoot another one.
Then after the car with the cover appeared, Zhu Yu took pictures again, so it wouldn't look so abrupt.
When the car in the container appeared, almost everyone's eyes fell on it!
