Chapter 102 [The Prey Appears]

At half past nine, the auction officially began, half an hour later than the Harden and Smith auction. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The opening remarks of the dock storage company are all the same, and the auctioneer explains various requirements and rules. Then all the bidders followed the auctioneer on foot to today's auction site.

As soon as I arrived at the auction storage area, the sky turned from sunny to cloudy, after all, Florida is in the tropics, and the rainfall is very abundant throughout the year. Although it is not yet the rainy season, there is a lot of heavy rain and light rain.

Although Yang Yong did not study the weather, he could also tell that it would definitely rain halfway through the auction. So Yang Yong hurriedly instructed Chris, who was following him, to run back to the Ford RV and retrieve a few umbrellas placed in the utility room.

Don't let it really rain by then, drenching a chicken in soup and getting a small cold will affect your team's business. That's all money, Yang Yong doesn't want to waste a penny.

Chris had just run out not far before the auction had already begun, because today was the first day of the auction season, and there were more than 50 container warehouses for auction.

The three container warehouses that Yang Yong values the most are all behind the No. 30 container warehouse, and there are more than 30 containers to be auctioned in front. No matter how fast it is, it will take an average of 5 minutes to auction it.

Therefore, Yang Yong was not in a hurry, and stood in the shade to watch the warehouse auction donation center with great interest, and the hot auction scene.

Although Jacksonville is the southeastern transit center of the United States, it is relatively wealthy and has many wealthy people, but it cannot compare with the economic situation of the top ten cities in the United States.

Therefore, the transaction price of container containers does not exceed 5,000 US dollars, but the competition is still fierce. Because it is a terminal storage area, each container is relatively perfect, and even traces back to which country or region each container is imported from which country or region what kind of things are contained in it.

After all, every imported container must be inspected by the customs and tax declaration. Tax evasion is punished with the same degree of punishment as murder in the United States, and no one dares to evade taxes in containers.

Therefore, the contents of the container are transparent, and even if the contents of the container are not allowed to be seen and touched, the bidder knows what is inside.

Such openness and transparency can reduce the losses of all bidders, but it also buries the hidden danger of bloody battles among bidders. Because the value of the items in each container that is about to be auctioned is not strange if it is not fought on the bright side.

Sure enough, as Yang Yong expected, Chris's umbrella has not been retrieved yet. As the auction progressed to the fifth container, the atmosphere had already undergone a subtle change.

The fifth container was exported to France, and the goods inside were high-end cosmetics, such as Chanel Lancôme.

You can imagine that it was a container with tons of high-end cosmetics in it, and a small bottle of Chanel perfume was worth more than $300, and how many Chanel perfumes could be in the entire container, so the competition for container 5 was already fierce.

The starting price is $1,500, and each increase will not be less than $100. Such a provision would be overpriced elsewhere.

But in the warehouse area of the terminal, where containers are full of high-end cosmetics and Chanel perfumes, the $100 auction price is commonplace. Each bid will not be less than $500 a bid, and the price will go up.

In less than 3 minutes, the price of the container has been speculated to $17,000. It's a crazy price, but even then, there are not necessarily any fewer bidders, with more than 30 people still bidding on these high-end cosmetics.

Yang Yong doesn't care about these high-end cosmetics, the cosmetics are very troublesome to handle, and he keeps the cosmetics that he can't use in a container.

And the price is so high, even if you deal with it, the profit will not be high, and there is no need to waste time and effort for these cosmetics that are troublesome to handle and do not make a high profit.

Yang Yong just watched the excitement from the side, observing which of the bidders around him were local tyrants who were not bad for money. So that you know yourself and your opponent, and don't let those bidders with ulterior motives take advantage of the gap.

After a five-minute bidding, the container's high-end makeup was sold for $65,000 by a fashionably dressed lady.

$65,000 is already a lot, and it is the highest transaction price he has seen since Yang Yong's debut. In fact, with such a high price of $65,000, there is still a lot of profit margin for high-end cosmetics in the container. But these cosmetics are too troublesome to deal with, and it is not a small grasshopper like Yang Yong who can handle it.

The dust had just settled on Container No. 5, the sky was even darker, and the cool air had plummeted. Although there was no thunder, the dark sky was as everyone knew that it was about to rain.

In order to gain time, the auctioneer's speech speed increased, and the pitch of the auction gradually increased, almost described as a roaring sound, and when he used a loudspeaker, the sound shook Yang Yong's ears.

The auction of these containers was not of interest to Yang Yong, so Yang Yong stood aside and planned to look at these bidding jokes, the jokes of being drenched in the rain, but he didn't expect that more than ten minutes later.

When the rain in the sky fell, many bidders actually took out umbrellas and raincoats from their respective backpacks, and none of them really turned into soup chickens, it seems that these are all locals from Jacksonville, and they all listened to the weather forecast, so that Yang Yong's plan to watch the joke fell through.

Although it doesn't rain much, the current season is spring after all, and the temperature is still relatively low, although the temperature is very cold. However, the atmosphere at the auction site was extremely hot, and many people were sweating profusely, which was caused by tension and excitement.

The sky is dripping with drizzle, and the cold wind is blowing, so you can imagine how embarrassed it was. But Yang Yong's sin was not in vain, and it was finally Yang Yong's turn to auction the container that Yang Yong valued the most.

Yang Yong also squeezed into the middle of the crowd and took out the number plate in his pocket. Let Chris listen attentively to the auctioneer's introduction to this container for ******** Yang Yong.

The container number of the container that Yang Yong is interested in is 610, the exporting country is Bulgaria, and the contents are the Bulgarian specialty rose hydrosol.

Although Bulgaria is a small country, it has the largest production and quality of roses in the world. Rose hydrosol is even more popular with consumers all over the world.

These rose hydrosols are very versatile, can be added to cosmetics, can retain moisture, and are very effective for many diseases.

Therefore, it is very popular in the market, although it is not in short supply, but the sales of these rose hydrosols are not a problem. After Yang Yong came back from reconnaissance last night, he used the computer to check the price of rose hydrosol.

The current market price of Bulgarian rose essential oil is five or six thousand dollars per kilogram, and the price of rose hydrosol should be around $150 per kilogram, even if Yang Yong, a second-tier dealer, sells these Bulgarian-made rose hydrosols. It will not be less than 150 US dollars a kilogram, and the container is full of 500 kilograms of rose hydrosol. The total weight should reach about 10 tons, which is a lot of wealth, and Yang Yong certainly can't miss it.
