Chapter 46 Attack!(1/2)
After looking at this container, Zhu Yu looked at the second container.
In the second container, there is a pile of sundries. Picture frames, paints, chairs, and easels.
Zhu Yu felt that there might have been a painting enthusiast who painted here?
neglect.
There was still nothing good in the third container, and Zhu Yu was a little disappointed.
The assistant cut open the door of the first container, revealing several large wooden boxes.
The words "Beware of Fireworks" are written in Chinese characters on it.
Zhu Yu looked at it and showed a surprised expression:
"Sure enough, it's something from China!"
"What is this? What are the words on it?" Some people didn't recognize it and asked others.
Some people immediately took photos and sent them to others for help.
Jason asked Zhu Yu quietly:
"Boss, what's in here?"
"Well, you can understand it as fireworks."
"Oh!" Jason said and immediately shut up, as if this was a big secret.
Zhu Yu wanted to remind him that this was not a secret, but looking at his appearance, he thought about it.
Jason was cherishing the opportunity to follow him.
After everyone has finished reading, the auction begins.
"The auction begins now - the base price is two hundred US dollars, and each increase will not be less than...not less than fifty US dollars. Okay, let's start!"
The auctioneer was a young man who seemed to be a novice and even stuttered a bit when he started speaking.
Zhu Yu felt a little strange. This was the first time he saw such an auctioneer.
"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" someone started to shout. This was their first time seeing such an auctioneer.
Being booed, the auctioneer's face turned red.
The container owner was next to me, and his face didn't look good either.
The auctioneer hired at a low price is really not that good!
Zhu Yu raised his hand:
"Three hundred dollars!"
When the auctioneer saw Zhu Yu raising his hand, he immediately stretched out his hand to Zhu Yu as if seeing a savior:
"This gentleman is offering three hundred dollars. Is there any counter-offer? Is there any counter-offer? Is there any counter-offer for three hundred dollars?"
He cherished this opportunity very much.
Seeing Zhu Yu's bid, others also began to increase their bids.
Although they have never seen Zhu Yu, these people still know that there is a powerful Chinese treasure hunter coming to the port.
Soon, the price was raised to 650 US dollars, and Zhu Yu increased the price again:
"Eight hundred dollars!"
"Eight hundred dollars. Eight hundred dollars. This gentleman has increased the price by another eight hundred dollars. Is there anyone who can keep up with the eight hundred dollars..."
The auctioneer felt very strongly about Zhu Yu and made his voice a little louder in response to Zhu Yu's bid.
After several rounds of tug-of-war, Zhu Yu finally bought the container for US$1,200.
"Congratulations!" the auctioneer said loudly to Zhu Yu and extended his hand to Zhu Yu.
If Zhu Yu hadn't saved the situation in time, he might have lost his job after today.
"You're welcome." Zhu Yu stretched out his hand and shook his hand: "You will perform very well later on. If you are braver, you will be fine. Just treat them all like a pile of cow shit..."
"Haha, you are very humorous!" the auctioneer let go, "My name is Cook, thank you!"
The auctioneer then relaxed a lot, but Zhu Yu didn't go to those two places.
He and Jason entered the container and counted the contents one by one.
"One hundred small fireworks, forty medium-sized fireworks, and twenty-four large fireworks."
"One dragon dance, two lion dances."
"There are also some lanterns and couplets attached."
Zhu Yu understood that this should be sold to Chinatown in preparation for the upcoming Spring Festival.
I called Old John, and Old John said he had nothing to do with it.
Zhu Yu thought for a while and called Meng Xiaofan.
"You said you have a batch of fireworks, dragon dance, and lion dance in your hand?"
Meng Xiaofan didn't expect that Zhu Yu called him for this reason.
"Yes, I don't know if you know the connections in Chinatown. This thing can only be sold to us Chinese."
Meng Xiaofan thought for a while and said: "Then wait a minute, I'll call and ask."
Meng Xiaofan hung up the phone, and Song Yan asked from the side:
"Why are you calling me?"
Because Zhu Yu made a fortune with them, vented his anger, and cooked a delicious meal, Song Yan's attitude towards Zhu Yu improved a lot.
"Zhu Yu had a batch of fireworks on hand. He wanted to sell them, but he had no channels. He asked me if I knew anyone."
Song Yan thought hard.
Meng Xiaofan thought for a while and said with a smile:
"A friend of my dad's opened a trading house in Chinatown. Let me ask him."
After saying that, I opened my address book, found the number, and dialed it.
Song Yan's expression was a little complicated.
"Xiao Fan, why did you call me when you had time?"
"Uncle Ye, I have something to trouble you with..."
"Say it!" The other party was very generous.
"My friend has a batch of fireworks sent from City S. He asked if anyone here wants..."
"Fireworks? Yes! I want them! It will be the Spring Festival in a while, and I have no stock here, so I am worried!"
"Then I'll give you his phone number and you can talk!"
"Great, once the deal is concluded, uncle will give you a big red envelope!"
"No, no, no..."
After hanging up the phone, Meng Xiaofan sent Zhu Yu a text message telling him about the incident.
As soon as Zhu Yu read the text message, he got a call.
"Zhu Yu? My name is Ye Shenghua. I am a friend of Xiao Fan's father. I run a trading firm in Chinatown. I heard that you have a batch of fireworks here?"
"Yes. There are large, medium and small ones, four boxes. There are also dragon and lion dances and some lanterns and couplets."
"Great, where are you? Let me take a look at the goods and let's talk."
"I'm at the port, cargo yard No. 44."
More than half an hour later, Ye Shenghua arrived in a truck.
Seeing Zhu Yu's condition, he was greatly surprised:
"Mr. Zhu, are you a container treasure hunter?"
"Yes, this container was abandoned after landing. Mr. Ye, please come and take a look at the contents first."
Ye Shenghua opened the box cautiously, saw the well-packaged fireworks inside, and looked for the production date.
"Yes, it was produced three months ago and is considered new." Ye Shenghua looked through several other boxes and randomly picked out items for inspection.
"By the way, these dragon and lion dances..."
"I want it too!" Ye Shenghua agreed directly.
"Here, let me tell you the price and see if it works."
Ye Shenghua took the computer and said to Zhu Yu:
"Small fireworks are five dollars each, medium-sized ones are fifteen dollars each, and large ones are fifty dollars each. The dragon dance is slightly more expensive, eight hundred dollars, and the quality of the lion dance is also good, five hundred dollars each. As for the remaining lanterns and
couplet……"
