Chapter 70 Invitation and Business

After answering the phone, Zhu Yu asked:

"Hey, Miss Meng..."

"It's me." Song Yan was speaking opposite, and Zhu Yu frowned slightly.

Although the relationship with Song Yan had eased a lot because of that meal, Zhu Yu still didn't like Song Yan's poisonous tongue.

"Hello, Miss Song."

"The word "Miss" is too unpleasant. By the way, Zhu Yu, Xiao Fan and I bought a lot of ingredients today. Can you come and get together tonight? Like last time?"

Zhu Yu immediately shook his head:

"Sorry, I have an appointment tonight."

Song Yan suddenly let out a disappointed sound.

Meng Xiaofan said over there:

"Song Yan, stop making trouble, I have business to attend to."

Meng Xiaofan said and took the phone.

"Zhu Yu, I'm sorry, Yanyan thinks you are one of her own, so she is used to playing around. It's like this. I have a business here that I want to introduce to you. I don't know..."

"Tell me." Zhu Yu became curious, "What kind of business?"

"A friend of my dad's has an estate in the suburbs of New York. He wants to sell the estate recently.

There are some things that need to be dealt with in the manor, and there is also a large safe, which was left by the previous owner of the manor a long time ago. He wanted to find a reliable person to do this, so I recommended you..."

Speaking of this, Meng Xiaofan paused and said a little embarrassedly:

"You don't think this is looking down on you, do you? In fact, there are a lot of good things in it. I know you should have channels..."

"No, no." Zhu Yu smiled, "Thank you for introducing me to this business, and thank you for taking my feelings into consideration. Okay, when and where?"

"This can take a week. I'll send you the address later. But the cleaning fee isn't high - a thousand dollars."

"It's okay. I think this place should be able to satisfy my fun of treasure hunting. If nothing unexpected happens, I will go there tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Song Yan looked unhappy:

"What should we do if we buy so much food?"

Meng Xiaofan was actually a little disappointed, but Zhu Yu said there was an appointment, so there was nothing she could do about it. She cheered up and said:

"Then let's do it ourselves! There are many tutorials on the Internet, but I don't believe you can't do it——

I never believe in those plots on TV. No matter how stupid you are when making a dish, you can't mistake salt for sugar and make the dish salty to death, right? It's too exaggerated..."

Zhu Yu didn't have much hope that this business would make money.

The last time Meng Xiaofan introduced him to buy jade, he had benefited a lot. Even if he didn't make any money this time, it was still a favor returned.

He turned to Jason and asked:

"Tomorrow I plan to go find an outside manor and clean up the things there. Are you and your brother okay?"

Jason immediately said:

"It's okay! If you need it, Boss, I can take both of them with me."

"Okay." Zhu Yu nodded. I don't know if there are many things in the manor, but it is always a good thing to bring more people.

When they arrived at Jason's container house, Zhu Yu found that Eli and Malawi were packing some old goods. When they saw Zhu Yu, they all stood up straight and smiled at Zhu Yu.

Freya was busy inside, Zhu Yu could smell it, she was cooking stir-fry.

After the table was set, Zhu Yu was a little surprised to find that what he had for lunch was noodles, a kind of noodles similar to noodles.

Freya came out with a straight face and said apologetically:

"I'm really sorry, I only bought macaroni noodles, so..."

"It's okay." Zhu Yu is not a very particular person. When he was alone, he had mixed noodles with various stir-fries.

Obviously Jason and his two brothers have never eaten this novel way of eating, so it feels very fresh.

It's just that except for Jason, Eli and Malawi don't know how to use chopsticks. It's more difficult to roll noodles with a fork. Looking at Zhu Yu, I really want to laugh.

After eating two large plates of noodles, Zhu Yu lay down on a second-hand folding chair to eat. He felt that his life was really good!

There was another container auction in the afternoon. Zhu Yu squinted for almost half an hour. After being reminded by Jason, he rushed to the cargo yard in high spirits.

This time it was a small goods yard, with three containers being auctioned.

Zhu Yu took a look and was a little surprised.

There was only one familiar face, a fat black man, and Old Madden, Diana and Little Joey were not there.

This is a good thing for Zhu Yu.

When he arrived, several people had already arrived. Someone greeted Zhu Yu, and he responded with a smile, although he didn't recognize them.

Then open the eye to scan the container as usual.

Zhu Yu was shocked by what was in the first container.

There are all green plants inside, and they are all alive. The leaves look like they came from the tropics.

Zhu Yu's horizons were opened. He didn't want to bet on this thing.

The contents of the second container are even more exaggerated. At first sight, it is a complicated instrument panel with many buttons and instrument panels.

In the box behind the huge instrument panel, there are two sets of space suits and two large balls.

The words printed on it let Zhu Yu know that this thing was a nitrogen bottle - or should it be called a nitrogen balloon?

There was also an unknown instrument. Zhu Yu guessed it was a bit like an engine, but a bit smaller - compared to an airplane.

This was shot!

Mainly because I am too curious!

In the third container, there was a pile of second-hand machines covered with a tarpaulin. But they were all small cutting machines, grinders, chain saws, etc. Zhu Yu was not interested.

The auctioneer is already in place, and his assistant is waiting with pliers.

When the auctioneer saw that no one was coming, he announced the start of the auction.

The assistant cut open the container, and the treasure hunters were surprised by the plants inside.

Zhu Yu only glanced at it and shook his head.

A minute later, the auctioneer spoke:

"The starting bid is one hundred dollars, and each increase in price shall not be less than ten dollars. The auction will begin now..."

This is a new auctioneer, but I don’t know if he was trained in the same place. He all uses snappy sounds and no punctuated pauses to auction.

Zhu Yu only quoted the price once at two hundred dollars and then gave up.

Not many people know about these plants, so the auction prices don't rise very fast.

In the end, a strange Hispanic treasure hunter bought it for $1,300.

Judging from the smile on his face, he should be able to earn a lot.

As soon as the second container was cut open, everyone's attention was immediately attracted!

This thing is rare - it can even be said that basically no one has seen it!

Someone whispered: "Isn't this contraband?"

"There is a NASA logo!" someone reminded.

Sure enough, everyone found the NASA logo on the panel.

It's official!

But since it can be auctioned here, it should be no problem.

After all, it is a second-hand product. The signs of use are obvious.

The auctioneer also didn't expect such things to be in the container.

However, after confirming the list with his assistant again, the auctioneer said:

"This container was indeed abandoned here by a NASA contractor. However, there is no requirement to keep it confidential, so the auction is completely legal. Please rest assured."

Zhu Yu was happy.

He thought that the auctioneer's way of talking was without pausing, but it turned out that it was only like this during the auction!

After everyone had finished observing, the auctioneer spoke and returned to his familiar voice:

"The starting price is 800 US dollars, and each increase will not be less than 100 US dollars. The starting price is now..."

Zhu Yu raised his hand directly:

"Two thousand dollars!"

It shocked several people directly!
