56. Alliances
After enjoying the pit restaurant and the mansion of the mining tycoon, Li Du continued to search the warehouse for the next two days. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Before and after, he explored all twenty-five warehouses clearly, and found five warehouses of some value, and wrote down the numbers very carefully.
In mid-March, the Red Rock Warehouse Company started filming, and the two still rushed to the warehouse location early in the morning.
When they got off the pickup truck, the treasure hunters who arrived early turned their eyes to them, and many people greeted them warmly:
"Hi Boss Fu and China Li, good morning, it's a surprise to meet you here. ”
"What's the best baby today, man, let me tell you, we haven't opened for two months. ”
"For God's sake, Boss Fu, don't take all the good things with you. ”
Hans obviously enjoyed the sensation of being the center of attention, but he didn't enjoy it for long, when some of the treasure hunters came in with a message:
"Fred, why are you here too, from Phoenix?"
"Of course I have to come over, there are a few great antique clocks in the warehouse this time, I want to try my luck. ”
"What, antique clocks, where did you get the news?"
"Don't do that, guys, you don't know? Flagpole City has spread all over Flagpole City, and that guy who turned the sky got the word out yesterday. ”
Li Du and Hans heard these words, and then their hearts sank.
Just at this time, Hans's cell phone rang, he looked at the caller ID, gritted his teeth and said, "Damn, it's Andrew's bastard!"
Sure enough, Andrew's smug voice came out of the microphone: "Enjoy this auction trip, a batch of antique clocks, be sure to auction it, good luck to you!"
"***** you despicable villain!" scolded Hans.
Andrew said disdainfully, "How can I be mean? Didn't I tell you a valuable repository information? No, I told you, and I told a lot of people. ”
Indeed, the two turned over a small sailboat in the gutter, and when they set up the bet, they did not ask both parties to keep the warehouse information given confidential.
Even if there is such an agreement, it is useless, Andrew can pass the message through the mouth of someone else.
Soon, the local treasure hunters also learned that there were a batch of antique clocks in these warehouses, and they immediately began to gear up.
Feeling the gradually warming atmosphere, Li Du's face was solemn: "The situation is not good. ”
Hans immediately decided: "We need to form an alliance and choose those who are threatening, otherwise we will bleed profusely, and it is likely that we will not be able to get the warehouse." ”
"How do you form an alliance?"
"Let me tell me the value of the warehouse later. Hans waved his hand calmly, signaling him not to worry.
The auctioneer entered, wearing a microphone and a megaphone pinned to his waist, as rough as he wanted, which really fits the style of the city of stones.
"Old rules, everyone should know our old rules here, no entry into the warehouse, no touching anything that doesn't belong to you with your hands, no fighting, no quarreling and swearing, and then I won't care about other things, okay, let's enter. ”
Because Andrew released the antique clock information, there were many people who came to this auction, and once again it reached 100 people, and the auctioneer asked everyone to form a group and go to watch it in groups of four.
The first warehouse is warehouse 012, and there is a large blower at the door, which looks old, and its expression is mottled with paint.
Li Du asked, "What is the price of this blower?"
Hans pondered for a moment and said in a low voice: "If it can be used, there is still a market for this kind of large blower, I think it will be no problem to sell it for five or six hundred yuan." ”
"Then this warehouse is priced at 500 yuan as the reserve price?"
"Good. ”
There are a lot of garbage warehouses in the red rocks, which are dilapidated and not very valuable, so the starting price is very low: "The starting price is 50 yuan 012012 warehouse 012, is there any higher than 50 yuan?"
"Yes. ”
"Very good, 50 yuan has been accepted, so 100 yuan, 100 yuan, 100 yuan, is there anyone?"
"500 yuan!" a loud voice sounded, and the group of treasure pickers were stunned.
Li Du turned his head to look, and the person who spoke was a big man with a beard on his face, wearing sunglasses, with a serious expression, like a bodyguard.
Hans glanced at it and whispered, "Damn, Presidential Umbrella, this guy is here too." ”
Hearing his words, Li Du was surprised: "I heard it right, this guy has something to do with the president?"
Hans laughed, "That's his nickname, you see, he always wears a neat black suit, sunglasses, and a serious face, doesn't he look like a bodyguard? ”
This guy is very rich and discerning, and his accurate quotation directly repels almost all treasure hunters.
Then another person followed the price, and the presidential umbrella immediately shouted 800 yuan, which successfully defeated the other treasure pickers and won the first warehouse.
Seeing this, Hans nodded and said, "It's him, follow me." ”
The two found the presidential umbrella, and Hans smiled: "Hey, Rawls, how are you doing? Looks like you're making a lot of money." ”
The presidential umbrella is still unsmiling: "It's not bad, I went around Florida and made a little money there, which is far worse than you." ”
Hans said: "We don't have time to chat, let's just say what we mean, how about an alliance today? ”
The presidential umbrella slowly looked at the two of them, his eyes very picky.
Just when Li Du thought that there was no possibility of cooperation, he said: "According to the news, there are many clocks here, but 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 got was not so detailed!
Hans quietly pulled him and nodded calmly: "Yes, only two are real antique clocks, but the money is enough for us, isn't it?"
The presidential umbrella nodded and said, "What else do you know besides this news?"
Obviously, his subtext is that if you don't know as much as I do, or if I don't, then I'm not going to work with you.
Hans was stunned, they really didn't know much more about it, and Andrew didn't really want them to make money from this warehouse.
At the critical moment, Li Du smiled and said, "We know which warehouse it is!"
The presidential umbrella took off his sunglasses and carefully looked at his expression, and finally nodded: "Okay, take out the alliance letter, we are allies." ”
The two sides high-fived, which was considered a successful cooperation, so Hans breathed a sigh of relief and introduced Li Du to the rules of cooperation between treasure pickers.
Sometimes there is a treasure in the warehouse that cannot be eaten by one person, or two rich people take a fancy to a warehouse during the auction, and then the two sides need to cooperate.
The advantage of cooperation is that they both make money, and once they don't cooperate, often both parties will bid wildly, and in the end, no one will make any money, so this model is still quite popular.
However, there are generally two partners, and if there are too many participants, the money will be too small, and it will not be interesting.
In the first five warehouses, Li Du didn't make a move, except for the first one, the others were all garbage, and he couldn't make a penny when he bought it.
When the sixth warehouse, warehouse 085, was opened, he winked at Hans and whispered, "This warehouse is very valuable. ”
Hans nodded and gestured to the presidential umbrella, who entered the crowd to indicate that he was coming to bid.
