Text Chapter 700 The Fake Nanmu Bed

The man holding the detachable hydraulic tongs, about forty years old, is the host of the auction.

Unlike the usual serious white gloves in the auction house, he was wearing the work clothes of a warehouse company, and there was a folder under his arm.

Seeing that everyone gathered around him, he waved his hand, signaled everyone to be quiet, and said: "Welcome to today's auction site of our company, there are a total of six warehouses auctioned today, all of which are small warehouses, I hope you remember the auction rules, everyone can observe for thirty seconds, not enter the warehouse, and not touch any items inside, if you violate the fixation, you will be driven out of the auction site, everyone understands, right?"

As soon as the auctioneer spoke, Xiao Peng made sure that the auctioneer here was different from the regular auctioneer, and their speed of speech was so fast that it made people feel that they didn't care if anyone auctioned it or not.

"Hamilton, we all know what you said, let's get started, I'm already hungry for money!" came from the crowd, and at first glance it was a local Taobao person, who knew this auctioneer.

The auctioneer nodded, looked at the documents sandwiched in the kanban folder, came to a warehouse numbered 102, and cut the padlock on the door with hydraulic pliers: "The first warehouse, numbered 102, each person can observe for thirty seconds, line up to see, and don't overtime!" Seeing the crowd lining up, the auctioneer directly pushed up the roller shutter door, and people directly saw the scene in the house, and instantly the crowd exclaimed.

I saw a large bed against the wall, and some storage boxes were placed on the bed. The bed was covered in dust, but its golden color could still be seen. The bed is beautifully carved and has a traditional Chinese style shape. Everyone's eyes were instantly attracted to this bed, and they didn't look at anything else in the room. In fact, there are a lot of neat storage boxes in the house, which makes people look like the original owner of the warehouse is a very organized person.

Xiao Peng didn't follow Martin to see the situation in the warehouse, he was sitting in the shade of a tree, anyway, he was just a porter, wasn't he?

The California Sun is no joke. However, just because he didn't look at it didn't mean that he didn't know what was inside, and the mind clone had already observed it carefully.

When he saw the big bed, Xiao Peng frowned, and then looked at the things in the locker, Xiao Peng frowned even more. He stood up and walked over to Martin, and after reading all the contents of the warehouse, he stood aside, and in a bunch of two or three people whispered about his findings, and then decided how to set the price.

Martin saw Xiao Peng coming over, and smiled at Xiao Peng: "Xiao, you don't know what we found in the warehouse, a big Nanmu bed from your hometown." And it looks like it's an old thing!

Xiao Peng had actually finished reading the things in the warehouse a long time ago, but he still pretended to carry a flashlight and ran to the back of the line to line up to take a look, who knew that a middle-aged white man wearing a dog's head pattern T-shirt snorted coldly: "Boy, go to the front?"

"Huh?" Xiao Peng was puzzled, but the middle-aged white man said: "What qualifications can you be in the back? Go to the front! Nick, it seems that we should tell the association, the threshold of this industry is too low, and we can meet such idiots every time." ”

Standing at the back of the line, Nick said, "Don't talk to those mentally retarded races, they haven't evolved yet, what do you expect them to do?"

When Xiao Peng heard this, he stopped, looked at Nick and said lightly: "I really can't do anything except get your wife pregnant." Wow, in retrospect, she's as sweet and delicious as a doughnut!"

"What are you talking about, kid?" Nick glared at Xiao Peng, and put on a posture to make a move with Xiao Peng.

Xiao Peng looked indifferent: "Are you sure you want to do it?" I don't care, I was originally here to open my eyes, and when the time comes, let's expel them together to see who loses more?"

"You。。。。。。 Nick wanted to say something, but Xiao Peng waved his hand directly: "If you don't dare to do it, shut up!" The most annoying thing is people like you, you will only have to be crooked, fortunately you haven't drunk yet, can you blow after drinking to make people doubt your life?" After finishing speaking, Xiao Peng didn't care about their answers, and walked directly to the front row of the line, not letting the back of the row be better.

This is also a feature of warehouse auctions, that is, the more you observe in the back, the better, when others observe, you can also observe the situation inside in the back, and you can also hear the conversation of the person in front, and sometimes you can hear the discovery of the person in front. Therefore, local Taobao people are generally shot behind, and the more they are at the back, the higher their status. That Nick should be the one with the highest status among the local Taobao people.

And how to divide the status? It's even simpler, whoever picks up the leaks and makes more money is the boss, in this industry, it's so simple and rude.

Xiao Peng was very happy, ran to the front to look twice, and ran directly to Martin and his wife, Martin saw Xiao Peng coming, and whispered with excitement: "How does it feel to see your Chinese things here? This should be your ancient Chinese people, right? I know that you Chinese people have many dynasties, what Tang Dynasty, Qing Dynasty, Song Dynasty, Western Zhou Dynasty, and you ancient Chinese people like to use Nanmu to make furniture, photographing this should be a lot of gain." ”

Xiao Peng smiled and asked curiously, "Martin, do you know Huaxia very well?"

Martin looked proud: "To do warehouse Taobao, you must know more, otherwise, it will be the biggest pity to see that good things are missed." If this bed is intact, it can be sold for at least two thousand dollars, so that if I can buy it for only one thousand dollars, I will make a profit, and there are so many storage boxes, what if something good comes out again?"

Xiao Peng shrugged: "Martin, if I were you, I would never take pictures of this warehouse." ”

Martin asked, "Why?"

Xiao Peng whispered: "That's definitely not from the Western Zhou, at most it is from last week." That's a fake. ”

If it was any other wood, Xiao Peng would definitely not understand, but Nanmu? Isn't that just hitting the muzzle? The furniture in Xiao Peng's house is all golden silk nan gloomy wood, and when he got those woods, Xiao Peng deliberately studied Nanmu, and this bed is not Nanmu furniture, but a layer of Nanmu, which is a very common means of furniture fraud.

Martin was stunned when he heard this: "No, right? You look at the warehouse, the storage boxes inside are stacked neatly, and they are all high-end fabric storage boxes." At first glance, the owner is a well-organized person who pays attention to life, and such poor and exquisite people are generally in good economic conditions. ”

Xiao Peng shook his head: "Martin, you also said just now, those storage boxes are all fabric storage boxes, so many stacked together, but there is no deformation, it can only mean that there are no heavy objects in these storage boxes, either small sundries, or clothes, shoes and hats, etc., do you think it may be some precious items? Unless they are all luxury goods, but do you think it is very likely?"

Mrs. Martin listened to Xiao Peng's words, thought for a while, nodded and said to Martin, "What Xiao said makes sense. ”

Now Martin stopped talking, Xiao Peng saw that Sean, who was standing not far away, was also discussing the pricing with his friends, and it happened that Sean also saw him, smiled and nodded to Xiao Peng, but Xiao Peng shook his head at him.

Sean was stunned for a moment, Xiao Peng pointed to the open warehouse, then shook his head, signaling him not to bid. Although this Sean has a stinky mouth, he has a good attitude towards himself, so help him.

Sure enough, when Sean saw Xiao Peng's movements, he thought about it in place, Xiao Peng didn't speak when he saw him like this, after all, he did everything he had to do, believe it or not, it was his business.

Martin was still a little unrelenting: "Xiao, are you sure it's a fake?"

Xiao Peng smiled and said: "Martin, you said that Huaxia people like to use Nanmu to make furniture, I am Huaxia, can I not understand Nanmu? If I talk nonsense, what good will it do me?"

Martin thought about it, and whispered to his wife, "Let's give up this warehouse." ”

Mrs. Martin nodded, "Well, I believe in Shaw's vision." ”

After more than ten minutes, everyone had finished observing, and the auctioneer named Hamilton said directly: "Since everyone has finished reading it, let's conduct this auction, everyone remember, everything here is a cash transaction, and we do not support transfers or checks." Okay, now let's start bidding, warehouse 102, the reserve price is $100, and the bidding is now open!"

When Xiao Peng heard this price, he was a little surprised, a hundred dollars, it was also a little 。。。。。。 It's too high!

This warehouse auction, which sounds high-end and high-grade, is called an auction, in fact, it is equivalent to the disposal of waste, after all, most of the warehouses are discarded, so generally speaking, 80% of the warehouses are within 500 US dollars, especially small warehouses and pocket-sized warehouses, which have reached about 95%.

The starting price of a small warehouse in general can reach 50 US dollars, which means that there are good things in it. And this small warehouse starts at a hundred dollars, and there is no doubt that the bed makes people see the profits.

The price has been rising, and everyone has seen this bed, and they all know that this bed can be sold for at least 2,000 dollars, and if it is an antique, it will be developed! It is precisely because of this that the price has risen rapidly, and soon the price has reached 1,500 US dollars! According to Martin's algorithm, if this bed can really be sold for 2,000 US dollars, the profit will not be high, and Nick is a local, so he can save a fortune in transportation expenses and the like, which is a profit of 1,200 US dollars.

However, Xiao Peng thought about it for a while, and he also understood why Nick did this, as long as this bed was real, then he would not lose money, he regarded it as a gamble, betting on whether there were any valuable items in the storage box, and he was also gambling, in case this bed was an antique, then it would be developed.

And there are local Taobao people, so naturally there is the pride of local Taobao people, isn't it?
