Text Chapter 717 Opening a Treasure Inspection
In the end, this warehouse was indeed photographed by Condon, but the price used was beyond everyone's imagination, he spent 170,000 US dollars to take this warehouse, and the reason why he won this warehouse turned out to be that no one could get more money!
It's really rich! So much money to shoot a warehouse, Conton is enough for a cow!
The reason why the price can be raised to such a high price really has nothing to do with Xiao Peng and them, but because of another Taobao person.
The Taobao man fully proved what is called science and technology as the primary productive force, and he actually took a manless machine.
Xiao Peng looked at it, hey, it's still a Chinese-made DJI-man-machine. In other words, DJI is really the pride of China, and it has occupied about seventy percent of the global market share of civilian small unmanned machines, and the main markets are concentrated in Europe and the United States.
First of all, the armed men of IS used a new tactic in the Mosul area, using this thing to throw grenade-bomb-sized explosives to attack the Iraqi government, in the face of this situation, while trying to shoot down these unmanned aircraft, the Iraqi side also began to retaliate and use the same method to attack the IS organization. Who would have thought that the toys we usually use to take pictures would now become weapons?
According to the regulations of the warehouse auction, the bidder is not allowed to enter the warehouse, and is not allowed to touch the auction items. Other bidders did not object to his behavior, because they could see the situation clearly through it, but the auctioneer was not happy, and directly said that if he looked at it again, he would be disqualified from bidding, and as a last resort, the Taobao people had to let the unmanned machine come out, but he also saw what he wanted to see the most: through the exposed part of the cloth, people were surprised to find that the car tires in the cloth were Michelin 20-inch PilotSportCup2 tires! What does this mean? This is a special tire for the Ford GT! People were wrong! Chabri's car wasn't a Viper! It was a Ford GT!
Although it belongs to one of the three giants of sports cars in the Stars and Stripes, the Ford GT is not a low-cost sports car like the Viper, one is a civilian sports car with a cost of more than 20,000 US dollars, and the other is a super sports car with a cost of more than 400,000 US dollars.
Moreover, Ford's attitude towards the production of this car is very strict, with an annual output of only 200 units! For this kind of supercar, which is equivalent to a limited edition, it is not a choice of cars, but a selection of people!
Ford has strict requirements for car owners, and they send out surveys of customers who are interested in making a purchase, asking questions about how they drove before, how many Ford cars they have bought before this, and even whether they are positive on social mediaγγγγγγ Once a potential customer qualifies, they will also be required to sign an agreement that prohibits the owner from selling the car for a certain period of time, thus preventing speculation.
Although the Ford brand is a civilian brand, the Ford GT is undoubtedly the top supercar! It's no wonder that so many people are bidding frantically.
"This Condon is rich? Xiao Peng asked curiously.
Sean replied, "Where is he from? There's a famous Las Vegas! His most famous record was filming a warehouse in Las Vegas, where he found a video of a Hollywood actress and three men banging together at the MGM Hotel, and he sold it for a million dollars." β
"Innocent?three?together?" Xiao Peng quickly found the keyword: "Are you sure you're not joking?"
"Of course!" Sean took out his mobile phone, pressed it a few times, and put it in front of Xiao Peng: "HD genuine DVD, only $5.99, you can't buy it at a loss, you can't be fooled, do you want one?"
Xiao Peng was speechless: "But can he bring so much money to the auction?
"Then what is the situation, after a certain amount of money, you can use the transfer. Martin explained.
Xiao Peng shrugged: "Let's go, the auction is over, let's settle the bill." β
The group went to the finance department together to pay the money and took the key: "Let's see what is in this medium-sized warehouse first." Why did Xiao let me take it?" Martin said.
Sean was also curious, so the group first went to the medium-sized warehouse together. Condon came back with them, and he was not in a hurry to open his warehouse, but leaned against the wall with his hands crossed: "I want to see, what is so different about the garbage you bought for ten dollars?"
Sean still wanted to scold Condon, after all, the auction was over, and no one would care if it started, but Xiao Peng still patted him: "Since he wants to see it, let him open his eyes." β
Martin opened the warehouse, and several people walked towards the cardboard boxes together. Xiao Peng threw aside the broken phone cases on the top layer of the box, and inside were some new phone cases that had not been unpacked, a total of five boxes, each box contained 200 mobile phone cases, a total of about 1,000 mobile phone cases.
Xiao Peng took out two and threw them to Martin and Sean: "Look, do you like it or not?"
Sean took the phone case and looked at it: "This is not as good as the phone case you gave me, but if I sell this thing for a dollar, it can still be sold for a thousand, well, it does make money." β
Conton, who was watching the excitement from the sidelines, also laughed at his companions: "Three people are happy to make a thousand dollars together, and people from small places are just like that." β
Xiao Peng didn't even look at him, "One dollar?" Xiao Peng smiled: "Please, it's close to five dollars to buy the copycat version of this mobile phone case in our Huaxia, and you sell this genuine version for one dollar? It's strange that you can make money by engaging in warehouse Taobao like this!"
Listening to Xiao Peng's words, everyone was stunned, and the two Martins looked at the mobile phone case in their hands, which only looked very ordinary, and could even be said to be ugly, square, and looked particularly thick, with the trademark 'Snaplight' written on the back.
Martin hesitated and asked, "What the hell is this? Is this phone case worth a lot of money?"
Xiao Peng smiled: "It's not strange that you can't recognize it, they are all rough old men, but if there is a young and beautiful little girl from the Stars and Stripes Country here, she will definitely be able to recognize this phone case." Well, in fact, it's not very valuable, such a market price is more than 70 US dollars, but we can't stand a thousand! 40 US dollars can make 40,000 yuan for a takeaway!"
"What?" Everyone was stunned! A phone case costs more than seventy dollars? It's gold-inlayed? But no matter how you look at it, it's just a plastic phone case, how can it be worth so much money? Sean asked hesitantly, "Xiao, you're not kidding, are you?"
Xiao Peng was speechless and said, "What are I kidding, you won't go to Amazon to check?"
Sean reacted at this time, took out his mobile phone and checked, and sure enough, at this price, Sean was stunned.
Xiao Peng smiled: "I have a friend, because this phone case caused some trouble, so I specially learned about it, when I saw the shape of the phone case on the ground and those small LED lights, I first thought of it, and then look at those drawings and the like, I guess this was once the production site of this phone case, anyway, it is not expensive, just take a gamble, and I won the bet, yes, this is Snaplight's LED light phone case." β
Xiao Peng's friend is Kim Kardashian, who has recently been entangled in lawsuits, and it is the manufacturer of Snaplight who sued her. And the reason is that the phone case used by Kim Kardashian when taking a selfie is a phone case called LuMee. Well, I directly sued Kim Kardashian and LuMee together for a claim of $100 million!
What is the most important thing about taking a selfie?
Of course, not everyone will be able to P picture, then the light is very important, and these two phone cases have LED lights on both sides, which can be used to fill the light when taking selfies, so it has become a must-have mobile phone case for hipsters who love selfies.
Snaplight took Kim Kardashian and LuMee to court, on the grounds that the patent for the lighting accessories on the mobile phone was in his hands four years ago, and Kardashian promoted the LuMe phone case, and LuMee would give her a profit share, for which Snaplight wanted to seek compensation and ask Kim Kardashian to stop endorsing and make up for the loss of profits he suffered!
Speaking of which, Xiao Peng feels that the responsibility for this matter lies with the Stars and Stripes Patent and Trademark Office, because Snaplight applied for a patent in 2013, but it approved LuMee's patent application in 2016, which also shows that there are some key differences between the two products, orγγγγγ The Stars and Stripes Patent and Trademark Office made a mistake in the work, and in any case, the result was that both companies held patents for the phone case for the fill-up light.
The funniest thing happened last year, when LuMee sued Snaplight at the end of the year, on the grounds that it was the innovator of the fill-up phone case, and it was the first to enter the market, holding a large number of intellectual property rights in terms of patents, copyrights, trademarks and production lines, but instead believed that Snaplight was infringing patents. And Snaplight is now directly countersuing, taking Kim Kardashian and LuMe to court.
Xiao Peng disdains this, a mobile phone case like this on a treasure is 30 yuan, and when you encounter a preferential event, you can buy one get one free, what are you making a fuss?
However, from another point of view, this mutual prosecution is actually good for both companies, and the ordinary mobile phone cases have gained huge attention, and the sales of mobile phone cases of both companies have increased tremendously. Xiao Peng also admires the head of Snaplight, knowing that dragging Kim Kardashian into the water together has gained more attention. I have to say, this is also a business wizard.
Of course, in Xiao Peng's view, the possibility of winning the case is not great. Well, it's not very likely to lose the case, and it must be settled out of court in the end.
"Condon, how do you feel about exchanging our $10 for tens of thousands of dollars? Hey, what about others?" Xiao Peng also wanted to find Condon to show off, but found that Condon was gone.
Martin laughed: "Just when I was sure that this phone case was worth so much, he walked away." It's time to go and see his warehouse, probably to find something of value to you off. β
Xiao Peng shrugged, and just as he wanted to speak, he heard an angry roar from not far away: "What the hell is this?"
"Well, it looks like he's already made a fortune. Xiao Peng smiled maliciously: "Let's go, let's take a look?"
When Xiao Peng and his party ran to Condon's warehouse, they saw Condor holding an iron rod and smashing it the two car models.
Xiao Peng saw the two models clearly, one thing is right, it is indeed a 1:1 clay car model of Ford GT, it is very exquisitely made, with headlights and wipers, but there is no exterior paint, in addition, it looks very similar to the real car. The other is a 1:1 clay model of the Viper, which is also very detailed.
But let Condon go down with a few iron rods, and the two oil sludge models were smashed beyond recognition, so he still didn't understand his hatred, and smashed the shell of the car without an engine even harder, Xiao Peng stood next to him and watched him vent.
After Conton smashed the car shell and model, he sat down on the ground and muttered, "Seventeen thousandγγγγγγ 170,000 γγγγγγ β
After Xiao Peng took out a cigarette and lit it, he asked in a small voice, "Sean, why did he smash this thing?"
Sean didn't know why, but he still replied to Xiao Peng: "This is not a car, it's just a model, and it's a semi-finished product, isn't it a loss of money?" β
Xiao Peng's eyes widened after hearing this: "Sure enough, he is worthy of being a person who has earned more than a million, a model worth tens of thousands, and he will smash it if he says it." Wealth is wealth. Xiao Peng's voice was not loud or small, everyone heard Xiao Peng's words, even Conton stared at Xiao Peng viciously, thinking that Xiao Peng was watching a joke.
Xiao Peng saw that everyone was looking at him, and he had a surprised expression: "Do you think I'm talking nonsense? These two models that Condon smashed just now are still easy and pleasant to sell for tens of thousands of dollars!"
At this moment, everyone was stunned: "Are you talking about this broken model worth tens of thousands of yuan?" Xiao, don't tease us, okay?"
