Chapter 38 [Industry Insider]
The two brothers, you and I made old Tom very embarrassed, although he admired Yang Nian very much for being cunning like a fox at a young age. But the black man of the same skin color as himself actually believed in this little fox so much, what kind of magic did Yang Nianzhong cast on John, so that he unreservedly supported Yang Nian's chosen career, and he was willing to take risks together.
Old Tom fell into deep thought, but Yang Nianzhong didn't give him this opportunity, and deliberately knocked on his plate and said. "Uncle Tom, you have been in the industry for so long and your capital is so abundant, why do you have so little equipment. Like today, if you had a portable metal detector, you wouldn't lose to me at auction. ”
"It's impossible for our two brothers to get a warehouse of auto parts, not only to make a lot of money, but also to eat a free French meal."
"There is an old saying in Huaxia that if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, and if you want to be famous in which line, you can't be stingy with the investment in tools."
Old John looked at Yang Nianzhong, who was talking eloquently, burst out laughing, and said helplessly. "You think I don't want to, but when the warehouse company auctioned, didn't you see the thirty or forty people involved, have you ever seen someone with a portable metal detector?"
"Do you really think a warehouse company would allow you to take a metal detector to find out what's in the warehouse? I'll tell you why I was losing money three years ago. That is, the warehouse company will not allow you to take any modern equipment other than a flashlight to inspect the warehouse being auctioned. ”
"All you can do is observe this auctioned warehouse with experience and your own senses. And the longest time will not be more than a minute, why is it so short? I am afraid that we, the bidders of the warehouse auction, will overobserve and see some of the conditions in the warehouse. ”
Yang Nianzhong frowned and asked, "What are you doing this for?" ”
Old John picked up his wine glass, took a sip and said with emotion. "I still responded to that sentence, the auction warehouse is gambling on the size, not to mention inexperienced newcomers to the industry, even if I am a veteran who has been in the industry for six years and has more experience. Today is still unlucky, auctioning off a useless warehouse, all empty paint buckets. ”
"The warehouse company has created such a mysterious and tense atmosphere just to make the auctioneer make a mistake, to be honest, if there is really gold jewelry in the warehouse, diamonds and other valuable things, will the owner of the warehouse give it up for nothing?"
"I will let the warehousing company auction off the warehouse where you hide your treasure at the lowest price, there are really so many treasures stored in the bank vault, who put them in the warehouse. Therefore, 99% of the warehouses are garbage, and all we can do is to rummage through the garbage and find something valuable to make up for the cost of our auction. ”
"Experience, good luck, you can find something good and sell it for a few bucks, bad luck you wait to lose money."
At this time, John on the side ate the foie gras on the plate, wiped his mouth with a napkin, looked at old Tom and asked puzzled. "In this case, why are so many people participating in the warehouse auction? Don't they understand that this is gambling. ”
Old Tom looked at John and said with a golden glint in his eyes. "It's understandable, because the people who choose to move forward in the warehouse auction industry are gamblers, including your two brothers. The reason why you got into the industry is because you sell a good warehouse, and the income is several times your input cost, I'm right. ”
"There's also a very wonderful feeling that hunting for treasure in the garbage heap will make you feel very excited, and you will want to devote yourself to the warehouse auction house, am I right?"
The two brothers looked at each other and nodded, and what old Tom said was not bad at all, it was really a treasure hunt in the garbage heap, and this feeling of finding treasure would make people very excited.
Just like taking drugs can be addictive, why gambling can be addictive, it will make people excited, looking for valuable things in the warehouse will also make people excited, and the excitement is actually the same.
That's why Tom said that all the people involved in the warehouse auction are gamblers, and the excitement of discovering treasure in the garbage heap will keep spurring you, the auctioneer, to continue gambling.
To be honest, the starting price and transaction price of those warehouses auctioned in the warehouse auction house are not high, and the cost of $2,000 can allow you to experience the fun of treasure hunting in the garbage heap in the warehouse auction industry.
The threshold for entry into the industry is very low, but the achievements in this industry are rare, and few can become millionaires. Just like Tom Sr., who has a career in warehousing and auctioning, can afford to support his wife and children, can afford to drive a luxurious Cadillac, and can hire his own assistants, there is no one in a million.
There is an old Chinese proverb called ten gambles and nine frauds, and you have heard of who gambled in the casino and won a billion. Is there any difference between those who open a casino and those who run a warehouse company? There is no difference, there is no difference, it is all to take advantage of the human emotion of making a small profit and making huge gains.
Fortunately, Yang Nianzhong's left eye had a special function, turning himself into a humanoid X-ray machine human-shaped metal detector, if Yang Nianzhong and his brother John took out a portable metal detector during the auction. It's been on the blacklist of the Warehouse Auction Association for a long time, and people won't allow you to use metal detectors to detect those abandoned warehouses.
Everyone else is gambling, but Yang Nianzhong has a cheat, as long as he doesn't arrest himself, medical research will slice him. Yang Nianzhong dared to pat his chest and assure anyone that he would definitely be able to achieve something in the warehousing and auction industry, and others were fighting for their own luck in auctioning warehousing, and Yang Nianzhong's auction warehousing relied on this special function.
There is such a cheating device against the sky, even if Yang Nianzhong is an idiot, he can become a millionaire, and Yang Nianzhong will not be stupid enough to tell anyone about the special functions of his eyes. Even the most trusted mother didn't dare to tell it, for fear that her mother Yang Lan would worry about her physical condition and worry that the special function of this mutation would kill her.
He wouldn't tell his rival Tom Sr. his biggest secret, so he just smiled and changed the subject. He also asked about some of the skills related to warehousing and auction that he was most concerned about, and Tom Sr. was like the teacher of this song, teaching his junior students his experience.
Anyway, no one can auction the warehouse with a metal detector, and he is not afraid that you will rob him of his job, and his six years of experience are not in vain. This made Old Tom very confident, and it was all some common sense questions.
Since the two young men asked themselves, they told them that it would be good for them to let the two young people take fewer detours. The two sides can cooperate, and he can make a difference from it is no less profitable than risking to auction the warehouse, this is not gambling in the auction warehouse, but doing business that can be seen and touched.
