Text Chapter 716 Dodge Viper

The auctioneer said, "$1,000 for the first time, $1,000 for the second time, $1,000 for the sale!"

After finishing speaking, the auctioneer directly recorded the transaction in the notebook, handed Xiao Peng a lock, and asked Xiao Peng to lock the warehouse door again----- this warehouse belongs to Xiao Peng.

Xiao Peng looked helpless, locked the door, and followed the auctioneer to the last two warehouses, which were also the highlight of this auction: medium-sized warehouses.

"Huaxia boy, tell you the first rule of survival in the Stars and Stripes, that is, don't do things with the aborigines, the so-called pig teammates are talking about them. Conton looked smug and wanted to see the frustrated expression on Xiao Peng's face.

Who knew that Xiao Peng was not only not depressed, but asked Condon with a smile: "Is it really what you said?" To be honest, I am really grateful that you gave up this warehouse, and if you make a fortune, I will ask you to smoke a cigarette to express your gratitude. ”

"Cut, what kind of dreams! Can such a broken box save the cost? I curse that it is full of broken porcelain! Your thousand dollars is equivalent to making up for the wine money I had last night!"

Because the auctioneer was on the side, the treasurers still did not dare to conflict with each other, otherwise they would really be driven out of the auction site, so the two sides were still very restrained and did not have a direct conflict. After all, the highlight of this auction is here: two medium-sized warehouses, which is the purpose of those professional Taobao people, so the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

The auctioneer is also very experienced, walked to the door of the warehouse and said: "What everyone is looking forward to today is these two medium-sized warehouses, now is the time to unveil their mystery, let's see what surprises are inside!"

After the auctioneer finished speaking, everyone looked at him nervously, waited for him to open the door, lifted the roller shutter, and then 。。。。。。 Everyone sighed together.

This warehouse is big enough, but there is almost nothing in it, obviously someone has moved the valuable items in the warehouse, only a few cardboard boxes are piled up in the corner, and the ground is scattered with small LED bulbs and drawing paper, and the big warehouse looks empty.

The auctioneer's face was also a little embarrassed, and he said, "Thirty seconds per person, everyone line up and observe carefully." Well, the original owner of this warehouse opened a mobile phone accessories company here, and then the company moved away, and this warehouse has been left here, everyone take a closer look and maybe there are any surprises!"

"Surprise? What kind of surprise can there be here? Do you need to look closely? Isn't everything clear?" Sean walked to the door of the warehouse, and the flashlight shone on the cardboard box in the corner: "What is that? Phone case? Xiao, you just gave me a phone case, how many boxes of phone cases are placed over there? Is it the phone case day recently?" On the top of the box, there are some mobile phone cases scattered around, or old phone cases without outer packaging, and some are still broken.

Xiao Peng shrugged his shoulders and did not speak. Everyone looked at the warehouse and sighed, and Martin said, "The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment." ”

Xiao Peng lowered his head and held his mobile phone, and whispered beside the two, "Take it." ”

Martin and Sean were stunned and looked at Xiao Peng. Xiao Peng nodded and did not speak.

"Isn't there anyone bidding for such a large warehouse? The reserve price is fifty dollars! This is the lowest starting price for a medium-sized warehouse, has anyone bid?" After watching everyone observe the warehouse, the auctioneer shouted: "It turned out that a group of young people rented this place, and they used this warehouse to make a studio, producing mobile phone accessories and the like. Maybe there's something of value left here!"

"Let's move from here to Irvine? Let's stop making up stories, okay? Take 10,000 steps back, even if they do get rich, it's a fact that this warehouse is full of garbage!"

"Fifty?" Conton shouted, "Fifty shoots an empty warehouse, do we have water in our heads? Such a pile of garbage for us to be cleaners? I won't do this job for fifty dollars! Go straight to the next warehouse." ”

The auctioneer thought for a moment, "Thirty dollars! Where's a few boxes of phone cases?"

Someone listened to the auctioneer's words and shouted directly: "Who will sell those broken mobile phone cases? When plastic is sold? Then someone must buy it! Dude, now the Chinese people don't collect garbage, and the garbage disposal fees in our country have risen amazingly, so let's not waste time here." ”

Martin thought for a moment, "Ten dollars, I'll take it!"

Xiao Peng and Sean both looked at Martin in surprise: "Martin, what are you doing with this?"

Martin smiled: "I just want to change the phone case, what if there is a good one in it?"

Xiao Peng muttered: "You clean up by yourself for a while, don't expect me to help you work!"

The auctioneer also smiled when he heard this: "Is there anyone else to bid? Okay, this warehouse belongs to you!"

"Garbage people only deserve to shoot garbage!" Condon scoffed.

The auctioneer probably because Martin helped him solve the problem of cleaning up the warehouse, and his speech was biased towards Martin, only to see him glaring at Condon: "If you make trouble like this again, be careful that I kick you out of the auction room!"

When Conton heard this, he made a zipper gesture to his mouth, signaling that he would not speak, and the auctioneer nodded, handed the lock directly to Martin, and the group came to the last warehouse.

When the warehouse door opened, everyone whistled: "This is so good!"

"Shet! That's a Viper! '89 Viper! I love this car!"

There is really a lot of material in this warehouse! There is nothing else in it, it is actually a car! It looks like three cars, two of them are covered with cloth, and what emerges from the cloth is clearly two real sports car tires, and there is a streamlined sports car that is not covered by any obstruction, and everyone looks at it, it is a Dodge Viper! There are also some shelves in the warehouse, and there are some messy sundries on the shelves, and Xiao Peng sees a lot of measuring tools, such as arc meters, long rulers, and other items.

"This warehouse must be photographed!" Sean said excitedly.

"Dodge Viper, this is the pride of the Stars and Stripes!" Sean danced as he stood in front of the warehouse.

When the men at the scene saw the Dodge Viper, their eyes were full of brilliance.

When it comes to supercars, many people first think of European sports cars such as Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Porsche, but in fact, the people of the Stars and Stripes also have their own pride! Ford GT, Chevrolet Corvette and Dodge Viper are known as the three giants of sports cars in the Stars and Stripes. However, the youngest and shortest-lived of them all is the Dodge Viper.

Different from the history of the previous two decades, the Dodge Viper was a model that only appeared in 1989, and the goal of birth at that time was to make a sports car that young people can consume, and it was equipped with a classic 8.0L V10 large-displacement engine from the beginning, with furious horsepower and extremely fast acceleration, which suddenly won the crazy support of fans, especially its model with exaggerated personality and more suitable for young people's aesthetics.

However, with the economic crisis of the new era and the requirements of regulations for energy conservation and emission reduction, Chrysler Corporation, the parent company of Dodge Motors, experienced bankruptcy protection, and the Dodge Viper was suspended for a period of time, and it was not until Chrysler Corporation passed the crisis that the Viper was re-introduced.

However, the development of the Viper is contrary to the needs of the times, although the Dodge company uses methods such as price reduction, but still sells poorly, and finally simply discontinued, and now the Dodge Viper, for the people of the Star Spangled country, is a feeling.

Xiao Peng looked at Sean and took the flashlight to the front of the car: "Sean, do you see anything?"

Sean looked at Xiao Peng's light: "Shet, what can I see like this? I can't see anything!"

Xiao Peng nodded, called the two aside, and whispered: "The problem is that I can't see anything, which means that there is nothing in it! I paid attention to this warehouse, there are no engine and other parts in it, where did those parts go? How much can an empty shell be sold for? And there are a lot of measuring tools here, but there are no disassembly tools such as wrenches, don't you think there is a problem here? And those two covered cars, I suspect they are not cars? Have you noticed, there is residual clay and wooden planks on the ground, and I suspect that the two cars covered are not real cars, but full-scale clay models!"

Clay model, is made of industrial clay and wood and the like, the early car body model mostly uses gypsum and wood as materials, the price of the wooden model is expensive, the standard of the maker is high, and the plaster model is cheap, but the strength is low, it is not convenient to modify and long-term preservation. Later, people began to use industrial clay to apply to automobile design and development models, and now for almost all world-renowned automobile companies, making clay models is a very important part of the design process, and the first finished product made by all car design drawings is almost all clay models, and even in many auto shows, the concept cars we see are mostly 1:1 clay car models, installed with real tires, just look at the appearance, and the real car is exactly the same.

Hearing Xiao Peng's words, Sean frowned: "Xiao, are you sure?" Xiao Peng nodded.

Sean smiled wryly, "I know what to do." ”

At this time, the auctioneer also had confidence: "It seems that good things appear last, and this warehouse is worthy of everyone's expectations, look at the first Dodge Viper in 1989! How beautiful is this line? In order to show the sincerity of our company, we will give you the most suitable auction reserve price: 1,000 US dollars, at least 500 US dollars each time! Everyone is enthusiastic to bid!"

This is also the auctioneer's confidence, the reserve price of 1,000 US dollars is really low, but the final transaction price is definitely more than this price, sure enough, Sean raised his hand directly: "10,000 US dollars!"

Someone next to him began to curse: "Damn, it seems that you have money? Do you raise the price like this? This is just a Viper, and it doesn't cost that much money to buy a new one!" The person who said this obviously knows the automobile market very well, and after the Dodge Viper has experienced the turmoil of discontinuation, the price of the latest Viper IV launched is only 15,000 meters of gold!

Sean said triumphantly: "If you want it, you can bid! If you can't afford it, don't talk nonsense, this is not the fourth generation of the Viper! This is the first Viper in eight or nine years! Now that the Viper is discontinued, every Viper will enter the museum in the future! Besides, this is not one, it is three! Look at the two cars that are covered, how long are the front lines? It's either a Viper or a 'Challenger'! What's wrong with me at this price?"

If you want to say that the price of Sean is actually very learned, if this price is only for one car, the price is on the high side, but if it is placed on three cars, this price becomes very low. If it is only sold as a second-hand car, there is no problem with selling three Vipers for 20,000 or 30,000 meters of gold, and he is right, the Viper 1989 model is indeed very commemorative, and now many fans will leave a collection.

As soon as he said this, everyone came back to their senses, yes, these are three cars, isn't it? Someone directly bid: "$11,000" "$11,500!"

Sean still wanted to make a bid, but Xiao Peng dragged him: "We only have 14,000 meters of gold here." ”

Sean was stunned: "How come? Didn't we bring 15,000 meters of gold?"

Xiao Peng said: "You forgot, we spent a thousand meters of gold just now!"

"Oh Shet! this damn Condon!" Sean scolded angrily, "How many more do we have here? Fourteen thousand, right? This must be taken, this is an opportunity to make a lot of money! The viper of '89 is very marketable, and it can be sold for 8,000 to 10,000 meters of gold at will, so it's all profitable!"

When he said this, a pair of eyes kept looking at him.

"Fourteen thousand meters of gold!" Sean hadn't made a bid yet, someone had already quoted the price, and several people looked over, it was none other than Condon.

"Condon, did you mean to?" Sean glared at Condon.

Conton said triumphantly: "Isn't that what you just said? If you want to, you can bid, and if you can't afford it, shut up! Poor ghost, the warehouse auction is not the place for you to come! Here, it doesn't depend on who has a big fist, it doesn't depend on who has a good amount of alcohol, it still depends on this." Conton proudly patted his pocket: "Dollars! After all, this is an auction, whoever has a thicker wallet will decide!"

Sean wanted to say something, but Xiao Peng shook his head: "Forget it, he's right, here, the one who has the last laugh is the real winner." ”

After speaking, Xiao Peng looked at Condon with what he thought was the most sincere eye: "My friend of the Stars and Stripes, I sincerely wish you, I hope you can laugh at the end!"

"Why do I think you're laughing at me?" Conton asked, looking at Xiao Peng, "but I don't see where you're blessing me." ”

"Who said that, you look at my sincere eyes, do you see it?" Xiao Peng looked at Condon, his eyes blinking desperately.

Emilia poked Xiao Peng on the side: "Xiao Peng, from your eyes, the emotion of 'sincerity' is really not visible, you can only see eye feces." ”

Xiao Peng"。。。。。。 Amilia, which end of the day are you?"
