Chapter 34 [May be Bordeaux Red Wine]

Baltimore is a port city, very open, people come to Baltimore from all over the world, most of them are immigrants, so it is not xenophobic like Philadelphia. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info So Yang Yong didn't conflict with others, but a bunch of warehouse Taobao kings got together to mumble and chat, and the content of the chat was that everyone needed to be entangled with the auctioneer in the port storage area to the end.

Because there is an unwritten rule in the Baltimore warehouse auction, that is, the time to view the warehouse is only a short 30 seconds per person. Whatever you see inside the warehouse, you'll have to step aside and give up your spot to the next bidder. Therefore, every time the Port of Baltimore organizes an auction, the bidders participating in the auction will form an offensive and defensive alliance to confront the auctioneers of the port. Observe the contents of the warehouse for a few more seconds, and it is better to have an accurate judgment, because there is a lot of power in the warehouse, you pause for a few seconds, I pause for a few seconds, and the inside and outside is to watch for 10 seconds, which is enough for bidders to see what is in the warehouse.

Yang Yong felt very curious and also found it very interesting, Baltimoreans are really easy to get along with, everyone is a competitor but chatting privately to form an offensive and defensive alliance, isn't it a contradiction. But exchanging the least price for the maximum benefit has always been Yang Yong's survival criterion, since it can form an offensive and defensive alliance, then Yang Yong must of course participate in it in exchange for the greatest benefits.

So Yang Yong was very happy to see it, and after half past eight, the auctioneer of the warehouse company walked out of the office and beckoned everyone to register their personal information. This time, it was Harden who rushed to the front, and Chris pushed a titanium cart and pulled Yang Yong to run behind everyone towards Area A of the crate storage area. The road to the port is very wide, but as soon as you enter the storage area A, the two-meter-wide aisle makes people feel very oppressive. This time there will be up to 16 crates for auction, all types of crates, the smallest of which is the size of a refrigerator. The largest crate cabinet is actually 10 cubic meters in size, which is equivalent to half a container.

There is only one crate cabinet that Yang Yong likes, and it is a medium-sized crate cabinet with a volume of only 5 cubic meters. That's right, 16 auction slatted cabinets, Yang Yong only selected one slatted cabinet, because of today's auction, the warehouse reached more than a dozen, and the bidders also reached more than 60 people, the scale is very huge, it is not a simple matter to squeeze into the middle. Therefore, you can only stay at the back and watch the excitement while waiting for the auction of the No. 15 crate cabinet that you like.

After all, the weather was too hot, and the smell of more than 60 people huddled together was really bearable, and Yang Yong's nose was very smart, so he couldn't stand the heavy sour smell and had to stay away. Wearing a sun hat and sunglasses, sitting on a folding chair, drinking sweet green tea and occasionally smoking a mini cigar, it is very comfortable.

These crates are simple containers, which will not contain any important items, but there are exceptions, just like the No. 15 crate cabinet that Yang Yong fancies, which is a very special crate cabinet. Because the wooden board on the top of this crate cabinet is made of oak, it exudes the fragrance of oak, and the contents inside have been observed by Yang Yong's perspective eye, but they are tightly wrapped in soundproof and lightproof tin foil, and inside is a wooden box, and there are some bottle-like things.

Because Yang Yong's eyes observe the spectrum of metal, any man-made material or natural wood product seems to be able to discern only the approximate shape from the fog to discern what the object is. Bottle-like things, except for wine, Yang Yong couldn't think of anything to hold in a big bottle, and it was wrapped in tin foil because he was afraid of direct sunlight.

The reason why Yang Yong made up his mind to sell this crate was that this crate was shipped to the United States from Bordeaux, France, and the time was only 7 months, and the storage period of this crate was 6 months. In other words, this crate cabinet was shipped to Baltimore last fall, and the original owner of the crate was auctioned off just one month after it expired.

In the past, we introduced Yang Yong who smoked and drank alcohol when he was a teenager without learning well, and he also loves to drink very much, and he has a lot of research on wine. This crate cabinet comes from Bordeaux, one of the three major production areas of Bordeaux red wine in France, and then thinks of what can be in a bottle other than red wine, so Yang Yong is determined to get the No. 15 crate cabinet.

The auction went very fast, and in the blink of an eye, it had been auctioned to the No. 10 crate, and at this time, Yang Yong's spirit was highly concentrated, and a few minutes later, the auction was carried out to the No. 15 crate. The moment the cabinet was opened, everyone was blindfolded because the cabinet was surrounded by a thick layer of foam, and no one knew what was wrapped in the foam layer. There is no way to tell with the naked eye that some bidders with small metal detectors are confused because they can't tell what is metal except for a few metal nails.

For a while, the auctioneer couldn't help frowning at the cold field caused by the 15th, and after observing for more than two minutes, he saw that the bidders gathered together to discuss the 15th cabinet, and the atmosphere was very negative.

In order to arouse everyone's interest and desire to buy, the auctioneer couldn't help but lower the auction price from $200 to $100, and when the viewing time was over, the staff of the storage company sealed the box, and the auctioneer conducted a bidding due to the large number of auctioneers, and the auctioneer had to bid in a loud way, shouting hoarsely. "This is a sea crate from Bordeaux with a starting price of $100, and the auction is now open,"

This auctioneer is very experienced, and the word Bordeaux has aroused the interest of many bidders. There are more than a dozen bidders vying for the first bid, and Yang Yong's side is waiting to see what happens, and when there are one or two people left in the end, it is a good time for an industry leader like Yang Yong to make a move. After all, heavyweights will play in the finale, Yang Yong is this heavyweight, he has sufficient funds and is not afraid of competition, and sure enough, after a 3-minute bidding, the price has been marked at $800.

At this time, Yang Yong made a bidding gesture to Harden, and Harden, who was already impatient, entered the auction core circle like a tiger going down the mountain after receiving instructions from his boss Yang Yong. As soon as he made a sale, it was $100, and the price was raised from $850 to $950 At this time, only two bidders dared to compete with Yang Yong. After 4 rounds of auctions, the price soared to $1,300 by Yang Yong's side, and at this time, the two competitors were also intimidated by Harden's momentum and gave up the bid. In the end, Yang Yong auctioned the No. 15 crate cabinet for $1,300, and the staff used a sprayer to mark the word sold on the front and back of the crate cabinet to prove that the crate had been sold.

And Yang Yong was afraid of accidents, so Chris used the iron chains, locks and other tools he brought to lock the crate cabinet inside and out. After getting all this, Yang Yong, who had a heart among them, let go of the worries in his heart and followed everyone to the warehouse area of the fixed house of the port with a relaxed face. These warehouses are closed warehouses with a term of more than one year, and the storage company will auction off these expired warehouses due to the time limit. There are 10 such large warehouses, each of which has an area of 50 square meters, which is very large and the 10 expired warehouses are connected warehouses. When the first warehouse was opened, Yang Yong also quickly observed it with a clairvoyant eye, and Yang Yong gave up directly without any precious metals.
