56. Alliance
After enjoying the mine restaurant and the residence of the mining tycoon, Li Du continued to search in the warehouse for the next two days.
Before and after, he searched all twenty-five warehouses clearly, and found five warehouses of some value, and carefully recorded the numbers.
In mid-March, Hongyan Warehouse Company started shooting, and the two of them still arrived at the warehouse early in the morning.
When they got out of the pickup truck, the treasure pickers who arrived in advance turned their attention one after another, and many people greeted them enthusiastically:
"Hi, Boss Fu, China Li, good morning, it's a surprise to meet you here."
"What good babies are there today? Man, let me tell us that we haven't opened for two months."
"For God's sake, Boss Fu, don't take all the good goods away."
Hans obviously enjoyed the feeling of being the focus of attention, but he didn't enjoy it for a long time. Some treasure pickers who came later brought a message:
"Fred, why did you come here too? Did you come from Phoenix?"
"Of course I have to come here. There are a few great antique clocks in the warehouse this time, and I want to try my luck."
"What, antique clock? Where did you get the news?"
"Don't do this guy, don't you know? The flagpole market has spread all over the place, and the guy who turned the sky-eye passed the news yesterday."
Li Du and Hans heard these words, and then their hearts sank.
Just then, Hans' cell phone rang. He looked at the caller ID and gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, it's that bastard Andrew!"
Sure enough, Andrew's proud voice came from the microphone: "Enjoy this auction trip, a batch of antique clocks, be sure to take a photo, I wish you good luck!"
"*** You despicable villain!" Hans cursed.
Andrew said disdainfully: "Why am I mean? Didn't I tell you a valuable warehouse information? No, I told you, and I told you a lot."
Indeed, the two of them had a small sailboat in the gutter. When they set up a bet, they did not ask both parties to keep the information given by the warehouse.
Even if this agreement is not useful, Andrew can pass the message through someone else's mouth.
Soon, the local treasure pickers also learned that there was a batch of antique clocks in these warehouses, and they immediately began to get ready to go.
Feeling the gradually warming atmosphere, Li Du looked solemn: "The situation is not good."
Hans made a quick decision: "We need to form an alliance and choose threatening guys, otherwise we will not have to bleed heavily, and we may not get the warehouse."
"How to form an alliance?"
"Let me do it, you will tell me the value of the warehouse later." Hans waved his hand calmly, signaling him not to worry.
When the auctioneer entered the venue, he wore a microphone and a loudspeaker on his waist. The more rough he was, the more rough he was, it was indeed very consistent with the style of Shimin City.
"Old people should know the old rules here. You should not enter the warehouse. You are not allowed to touch anything that does not belong to you. You are not allowed to fight or quarrel. Then I will not care about other things. Okay, let's enter."
Because Andrew released the information about antique clocks, there were many people coming to participate in the auction, and there were another 100 people. The auctioneer asked everyone to form a group and go to watch in groups of four.
The first warehouse is Warehouse No. 012. There is a large blower at the door. It looks old and has a mottled expression.
Li Du asked: "What is the price of this blower?"
Hans thought for a while and whispered: "If it can be used, this kind of large blower will still have a market. I think it's okay to sell it for 500 or 600 yuan."
"Then is the price of this warehouse for 500 yuan as the base price?"
"good."
There are many garbage warehouses in the Red Rock, which are broken and not very valuable, so the starting price is very low: "Warehouse No. 012012, the starting price is 50 yuan. Is there any higher than 50 yuan?"
"have."
"It's very good that 50 yuan has been accepted by someone. So, 100 yuan, 100 yuan, 100 yuan, is there anyone?"
"500 yuan!" A loud voice sounded, and a group of treasure pickers were stunned.
Li Du turned his head and looked at him. He was talking with a big bearded man wearing sunglasses and a serious expression, like a bodyguard.
Hans glanced and whispered: "Damn it, President's umbrella, this guy is here too."
After hearing his words, Li Du was surprised: "I heard it right, is this guy related to the president?"
Hans smiled and said, "This is his nickname. Look, he always wears a straight black suit, sunglasses, and a serious face. Does he look like a bodyguard? So we call him the presidential umbrella."
This guy is very rich and has a good vision. His accurate quote directly repels almost all treasure pickers.
Then another person followed the price, and the president's umbrella immediately called for 800 yuan, which successfully defeated other treasure pickers and won the first warehouse.
Seeing this, Hans nodded and said, "It's him, come with me."
The two found the presidential umbrella, and Hans smiled and said, "Hey, Rawls, how are you doing recently? It seems you've made a lot of money."
The president's umbrella still looked serious: "It's not bad. I went to Florida for a walk and made some money there, which is far worse than you."
Hans said: "We don't have time to chat, just say it out loud. How about the alliance today? We will divide the antique clocks evenly."
The president's umbrella slowly looked at the two of them, with a very picky look.
Just when Li Du thought there was no possibility of cooperation, he said: "According to the news, there are many clocks here, but there are only two of them are antique clocks, and the others are imitations. In fact, there were more imitations at the beginning, but the others were sold."
Li Du was shocked. The news they received was not so detailed!
Hans pulled him calmly, nodded calmly and said, "Yes, there are only two real antique clocks, but the money is enough for us to share, right?"
The president's umbrella nodded and said, "What else do you know besides this news?"
Obviously, his subtext is that if you know less than me or I am the same, then I will not cooperate with you.
Hans was stunned now. They really didn't know more about it. Andrew didn't even think that they could make money from this warehouse.
At the critical moment, Li Du smiled and said, "We know which warehouse it is!"
The president took off his sunglasses and looked at his expression carefully, and finally nodded, "Okay, take out the alliance letter, we are allies."
The two sides clapped their high-fives and were considered successful in cooperation. Hans breathed a sigh of relief and introduced Li Du to the rules for cooperation between treasure pickers.
Sometimes there is a treasure in the warehouse that cannot be eaten by one person, or two rich people like a warehouse during auction, and then both parties need to cooperate.
The advantage of cooperation is that they all have money to make money, but once they don’t cooperate, both sides will often bid wildly, and in the end, it is likely that no one will make a profit, so this model is quite popular.
However, there are usually two partners. If there are too many participants, then there is no meaning to get too little money for the share.
Li Du did not take action in the first five warehouses. Except for the first one, the others were all garbage, and they could not make a penny if they bought them.
When the sixth warehouse, warehouse No. 085, started shooting, he winked at Hans and whispered: "This warehouse is of great value."
Chapter completed!
