281. Arabs (32+ monthly passes)
"Everyone must have a good idea of this warehouse, so if you are interested in it, come to me, the price of this warehouse is five hundred yuan, five hundred yuan, five hundred yuan, ......."
There are really few valuable things in the warehouse, and although the price of 500 yuan is low, the treasure pickers are reluctant to take over. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Li Du resisted the urge to quote directly, and he quietly glanced around, wanting to see the situation.
The sudden appearance of the sword on the TV made him very restless inside, but he faintly felt that something was wrong, and this feeling was very uncomfortable.
He didn't make an offer, someone did, and a man dressed as an Arab said, "Five hundred!"
This Arab is about forty years old, dressed in white and has a short beard, he has a pair of blue eyes, and his complexion is more white than that, but judging by the lines of his face, he is definitely Arab.
The auctioneer pointed at him and said, "Okay, five hundred yuan, five hundred yuan has been sold, so who is willing to sell six hundred yuan, six hundred yuan, six hundred yuan, six hundred yuan?"
A treasure picker hesitated for a moment and said, "Six hundred yuan!"
"Six hundred yuan, the price has reached, so next I will shout seven hundred yuan, seven hundred yuan, seven hundred yuan?"
Treating this warehouse, the treasure pickers were obviously not interested, and they shook their heads and said that they would not participate in the bidding.
Then the Arabs bid again: "Yes!"
The auctioneer nodded and said, "Okay, seven hundred, seven hundred, seven hundred yuan, so how about the price of eight hundred, eight hundred, eight hundred, eight hundred?"
There was no money from the treasure picker, and Li Du followed the offer at this time: "I'll pay 800 yuan!"
The Arab looked at him in surprise, then frowned.
Li Du, who had been staring at him from the corner of his eye, jumped in his heart, and then guessed that this Arab also knew about the existence of the sword.
But who put the knife in?
The Arabs followed the quotation, and the price reached 900 yuan, seeing this, Li Du hesitated for a moment, and quoted 1,000 yuan again.
In this way, the two of them quoted in a row, and the price grew from 1,000 to 2,000.
This unusual scene attracted many treasure hunters, including Andrew, who were attracted by the two who insisted on the offer.
Treasure pickers are not stupid, as soon as this kind of scene where someone insists on quoting appears, they know that there must be something valuable in the warehouse, but they don't find it.
The price of two thousand yuan is not high, and Andrew entered the competition with a gloomy face, and as soon as he came out, other treasure hunters also participated in the competition.
In this way, the price grew from two thousand yuan to five thousand yuan again.
The auctioneer was confused, but as long as he could sell for a high price and make more money, it would make him happier, so he shouted without hesitation, and his emotions were high.
The treasure pickers were also confused, and someone asked, "I said man, why are you bidding?"
"I don't know, everybody's bidding anyway, and the price isn't very high, so I'll have to try. ”
"What do you see, brother?"
"I don't know man, I don't see anything, I just see a pile of garbage, but everybody's bidding, so I'm bidding. ”
Seeing this, Li Du frowned and stopped the offer, while the Arab had an ugly face and still chased the bid.
So he was sure that the Arabs knew about the existence of the sword!
Unconsciously, the price climbed to 10,000 yuan, and the number of bidders finally decreased, and as early as the price reached 5,000 yuan, Andrew withdrew from the competition.
The Arabs raised their hands and shouted again: "Ten thousand and one hundred pieces!"
The auctioneer did not encourage the treasure pickers to bid as before, but looked at the Arabs and said, "Hello sir, according to the rules of the warehouse auction, I need to check your qualifications to participate in the auction now, and I hope you can cooperate." ”
The Arab was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "What qualifications are you eligible to participate in the auction?"
The auctioneer said, "Please show your entry procedures and prove that you can pay 10,000 yuan." ”
The Arab frowned and said, "What does this mean, why do you want to check me?"
The auctioneer shrugged and said, "Because the first time I saw you here, and I've seen others many times, I need to make sure that you have the ability to pay the offer for this warehouse and not be maliciously speculating." ”
Li Du asked in a low voice, "What is this for?"
Hans said: "Just like the auctioneer said, prevent someone from maliciously inflating the price of the warehouse, or prevent someone from making trouble, and then bid casually and end up running away." ”
The latter possibility Li Du understands that if someone shouts a high price but does not pay, then the warehouse company has to re-conduct the auction.
And the treasure pickers don't wait here forever, and they will leave when they realize that they have not made a harvest, so it is likely that few people will participate in the re-auction, and the warehouse will easily be unsold.
He didn't understand the first possibility, and asked, "Isn't it a good thing that the higher the price of the warehouse, the more the auctioneer and the warehouse company will gain?"
Hans said: "Of course not, this is to maintain the industry. Just as the owner of a lot cannot bid at Christie's auctions, this is done to prevent warehouse companies from maliciously speculating in order to obtain high profits. ”
The Arab's expression darkened, and he said coldly: "I'm sorry that I refuse to accept your investigation, I think it's vexatious. ”
The auctioneer said, "Trust me, man, I'm doing things according to the rules, so where are the security guards?"
Hearing his shout, the four security guards in charge of policing came over with sticks.
The Arabs angrily pointed at the auctioneer and said, "You are racist!"
The more he refused, the more vigilant the auctioneer became, and said: "I'll say it again, I'm doing things according to the rules, but if you think it's racism, you can sue me, please show proof!"
The Arab glared at him fiercely, gritted his teeth, and said, "Good, good, bastard, you're in trouble!"
The auctioneer said, "Please show the proof, otherwise I can only ask you to leave." ”
The Arab shook his fist angrily and shouted, "Damn, I don't have a gun on me, my money is in the car! I swear I have money, I have enough money!"
The auctioneer said: "I only look at you, if you can't prove it then you have to get out of here, otherwise I'm going to call the police!"
Hearing this, the Arabs cursed twice, then ran away and said: "I'm going to get proof, you stop the damn auction, stop it!"
When the Arabs left, the auctioneer sneered: "I have long seen that there is something wrong with this bastard, okay, 10,000 yuan, 10,000 yuan, 10,000 yuan, who wants to pay a higher price?"
Li Du raised his hand and said, "Eleven thousand yuan, oh no, ten thousand and one hundred yuan!"
The auctioneer ignored the quotation behind him and shouted directly: "Okay, 11,000 yuan, 11,000 yuan, 11,000 yuan, who can pay a higher price?"
The appearance of this farce has made the treasure pickers return to their calm, more than 10,000 yuan to buy a warehouse where they can't see anything of value at all, and they won't make a move at all in a calm state.
After shouting '11,000 yuan' three times, the auctioneer pointed to Li Du and said, "Okay, this warehouse belongs to you!"
