Chapter 56 Jealousy drives people crazy!
As usual, several big guys started observing by showing off their special abilities.
Old Madden lay directly on the floor and looked in from under the tarpaulin.
The fat guy jumped up again and reached out to grab the board on top of the container. He looked inside. The owner of the cargo yard roared angrily, and the security guard stepped forward and pulled the fat guy down.
Diana wanted to seduce her again, but the security guard was unmoved - mainly because the yard owner was right there and he didn't dare to let her go.
Diana cursed and turned around. She had been lacking ideas in the past two days and had lost money several times. All the money she earned last week had been put into it.
Zhu Yu followed the others and walked inside in an orderly manner, observing the tarp, corners, and gaps.
When the people behind urged him, Zhu Yu came back.
After everyone had finished observing, the yard owner took the list and said loudly:
"Everyone should pay attention, the original owner of this container is a military collector, and what is placed here is his collection of fine products over the years!
After this collector passed away, his son was ignorant and abandoned this container, so we put it up for auction, so ladies and gentlemen, don’t miss out on the good stuff!”
When the yard owner said this, those who had no hope at first became excited immediately!
As we all know, the history of the United States is only so long, and anything with a bit of age can be called an antique!
So after hearing what the owner of the goods yard said, several treasure hunters who were planning to leave stayed to see if they could find anything missing!
Zhu Yu hated it so much!
This warehouse owner really has a skill!
But it’s normal to think about it, after all, people want to make money!
The auction started and the auctioneer spoke:
"The base price is one thousand, and every increase will be no less than one hundred, starting now!"
Fat Hei was the first to raise his hand loudly:
"Eleven hundred!"
Old Madden became fierce this time and startled everyone when he spoke:
"Five thousand!"
This opening scared away at least half of the people present!
Not everyone dares to bet five thousand on a blind box container!
However, Madden's little trick only scared off half of the people. Diana said directly: "Seven thousand dollars!"
Very heroic look!
The fat man opened his mouth but said nothing.
Big Joey raised his hand:
"Eight thousand dollars! I'll pay eight thousand dollars!"
The information disclosed by the yard owner is usually not false, so these big guys have to take a gamble.
Zhu Yu reached out his hand at the right time:
"Ten thousand dollars!"
This ten thousand dollars shocked several people!
Zhu Yu's previous attempts to disrupt the situation were all under five or six thousand US dollars, rarely so high.
Is he determined to win, or is he just being a troublemaker again?
The other treasure hunters have been reduced to spectators, just watching the competition among these big guys.
Newcomer Zhu Yu, in the eyes of these treasure hunters, has already entered the ranks of quasi-first-line celebrities.
Who allowed someone to achieve so many amazing results in such a short period of time?
Old Madden raised his hand again:
"Fifteen thousand dollars!"
"Shit! Shit!" Diana waved her hand angrily, "Madden, do you have too much money and no place to put it?"
Joey and Joey also turned their attention from Zhu Yu to Lao Maden.
Old Madden has been in this business for the longest time. Although he sometimes makes mistakes, he is much more cautious than the other big guys.
This time he rushed forward like he was determined to win, and the others all started to retreat.
Old Madden didn't pay any attention to the other people. After quoting the price, his eyes fell on Zhu Yu.
He seemed to have determined that the only one who could compete with him was Zhu Yu!
"Sixteen thousand." Zhu Yu was unmoved at all. He must win this container!
Whether you eat meat or beg for food, it depends on this time!
Madden immediately raised his hand:
"Eighteen thousand dollars!"
Zhu Yu followed closely:
"Twenty thousand dollars!"
The fat black man immediately whistled.
Zhu Yu did what he always wanted to do but never did!
Being able to go head-to-head with these big guys during the auction of these containers without losing a single step is something that can only be achieved if you have money!
Facing the booing from the treasure hunters outside, Madden didn't get angry, but Big Joey couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to push the fat man away:
"Boy, what do you want to do?"
The fat black man didn't frighten him at all. He pushed back and pushed Big Joey to stagger, while he cursed in his mouth.
The two people immediately started fighting!
Madden glanced at it with no expression on his face and increased the price again:
"Twenty-two thousand dollars!"
"Twenty-three thousand dollars!" Zhu Yu followed closely.
Diana couldn't care less about being angry anymore. She came up to Zhu Yu and asked in a low voice:
"What did you observe? Why are you so stubborn with Madden?"
"I didn't observe anything." Zhu Yu had already thought of an excuse, "Madden has a very vicious eye. If he can increase the price like this, there must be something good in it! I think it's worth a gamble!"
Diana was dubious, but she couldn't let go of her courage.
Madden had begun to hesitate.
He raised the price again:
"Twenty-three thousand five hundred dollars!"
"Twenty-four thousand dollars!" Zhu Yu didn't hesitate at all.
Ma Den raised his hand. Just when everyone thought he was going to increase the price, he unexpectedly said:
"It's yours! I hope you have good luck and can produce good things!"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
The auctioneer quoted the price three times, and finally the container went to Zhu Yu for US$24,000.
After paying and signing, Zhu Yu couldn't help but feel excited.
Hei Pang and Big Joey have been opened by others, but they still spit at each other from time to time, and neither one looks down on the other.
None of these people left, waiting for Zhu Yu to open the box.
Zhu Yu stepped forward and pulled off the tarpaulin.
Two old-fashioned cannons appeared in front of everyone!
An old copper cannon with wooden wheels!
"Oh!" Someone whistled enviously.
"Zhu really got it off this time!"
Some people expressed their feelings with envy.
However, some sharp-eyed people, such as little Joey, stepped forward to take a look, shook their heads and said:
"That's not necessarily true. This bronze cannon must have been imitated later!"
imitated?
"Imitation can be sold for a lot of money, right?" Some people who don't know the business asked.
Little Joey clapped his hands, retreated, and said:
"I don't know, it could probably be sold for several thousand dollars!"
"oh!"
Some people made unintelligible sounds.
There were also whispers of ridicule.
Obviously, in their opinion, Zhu Yu lost his money this time.
Two cannons cost less than $20,000.
I'm afraid the remaining few boxes won't contain much good stuff.
Wouldn’t this be a loss?
Zhu Yu saw the expressions of these people and thought it was normal.
It is a common problem all over the world to make people laugh when they are angry.
It's normal to praise someone who is high and belittle someone who is low.
When these people were almost gone, Zhu Yu pulled out a long and exquisite cowhide gun bag from under the gun mount.
Opening it, a semi-old but well-maintained Springfield rifle appeared in front of you.
He opened the wooden box leaning against the inside of the container, and several sets of old-fashioned military uniforms appeared in front of him.
Now, just look at these things, are they really as little Joey said that imitations are worthless, or are they missing something?
Chapter completed!
