Chapter 2 The long has seen!
Early the next morning, Zhu Yu cooked porridge, fried two dishes, and after eating and cleaning up, he went to the edge of the port.
There are many large and small yard owners in the port area.
Yesterday from John, Zhu Yu knew that there was a small yard owner James who was preparing to auction four containers today.
James's freight yard is located in the corner of the port area, which is inconspicuous and not very convenient to pass, and the people who rent containers here are basically not wealthy.
Zhu Yu also came to try his hand this time - after all, in the more lively freight yard in the port area, most of the auction containers are stored with some popular commodities, and Zhu Yu can't afford to buy tens of thousands of dollars of auction goods.
When he arrived at the freight yard and saw more than a dozen of them who had already arrived here, Zhu Yu sighed in his heart!
These treasure hunters are really cold!
See several celebrities among the treasure hunters, such as Madden, Diana, the black Joey brothers, etc., these are all the big names among the treasure hunters in the port area!
I often hear them photograph containers for tens of thousands of dollars and make tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars a month.
How could such a person come here to hunt for treasure?
Seeing Zhu Yu's arrival, several regulars in the bar greeted him with a smile:
"Hey, Zhu, are you coming to see the excitement, or are you going to gamble?"
"Listening to old John, this Chinese kid also wants to gamble on his luck."
"When you get here, it's up to your luck!"
Madden, who has a good attitude, said to Zhu Yu:
"Good luck then!"
Zhu Yu said thank you.
This Madden looked polite, but according to John, he was the deepest of them all.
John also warned Zhu Yu that if he came to shoot the container, he must not let others, especially this Madden, see what he thinks.
Otherwise, you will definitely be cut off!
Zhu Yu blended into the crowd, greeting and looking at the four containers that had been hoisted on the open ground.
Before the auction began, all four containers were locked.
Zhu Yu walked up to him and "scanned" the first container as if unintentionally.
Inside the container were old furniture, a couple of tin cylinders, and an old box.
According to the experience he got from John, the old furniture was not valuable, and the contents of the tin cylinder were not visible to ordinary people, but Zhu Yu could see that there were some old packaging bags inside.
In that old box, there were gamepads, old records, and other things.
All of them add up to not worth a hundred dollars.
He immediately took the eye of the sky and went to look at the second container.
An old piano sits in the door of the second container. There are also several standard boxes inside, which are full of musical instruments.
Zhu Yu simply swept over, this container is an "open door goods", and he can't gamble.
Eyes closed, dizziness. Take a break.
The black Joey brothers next to him laughed at Zhu Yu:
"Huaxia boy, you still need to exercise in this body, you have to learn from us!"
Zhu Yu smiled and didn't speak.
The heart said that if you really want to fight, the two of you combined, you are not one!
The third container contained several boxes of used clothes, and a broken suitcase, and a table at the door blocked the view, and a pile of old clothes was placed on the table.
The focus was on the suitcase, Zhu Yu glanced at it, and inside was an antique typewriter.
It's worth a little money!
Zhu Yu immediately retracted his gaze, and he felt a little dizzy.
At this time, the owner of the yard has already come, but the auctioneer has not yet arrived, and he will have to wait for a while.
Zhu Yu rested for a while and looked at the fourth container.
Inside the fourth container were more than a dozen cardboard boxes neatly arranged, Zhu Yu glanced at it, and there was printing paper inside!
There seems to be a machine in the box behind, but Zhu Yu can't see it clearly!
His dizziness was even worse, and he had no choice but to withdraw the Sky Eye!
It's time to take a break!
That's when the auctioneer arrived.
Zhu Yu had seen this auctioneer before, about forty years old, bald, wearing a jacket, and was usually relatively silent in the bar.
But at the time of the auction, it was very eye-catching!
The yard owner hurriedly said a few words:
"These containers are not renewed when they expire, some of the owners are farmers, some are businessmen, I hope you can make a fortune here!"
With that, he motioned for his assistant to start.
The assistant took large pliers and unscrewed the lock of the first container.
The container opened, revealing the old furniture inside.
Onlookers immediately came to see, but they couldn't cross the line.
After looking around, the auctioneer immediately began to stand in front of the container and raised his hands:
"The starting bid is fifty dollars, fifty dollars...... Good! Sixty...... Hundred...... One hundred ......"
He spoke very quickly, but very clearly!
As soon as one person raises the price, the number in his mouth immediately begins to change, and his hand is also pointed at the person who has increased the price.
Zhu Yu listened to the auctioneer shouting the price while resting, and was a little surprised how he kept a tone from beginning to end and couldn't even hear the ventilation!
This auctioneer is not simple!
Zhu Yu also symbolically offered a hundred dollars, and after being surpassed, he did not bid again.
There weren't many people bidding.
Soon, the container was taken by the black Joey brothers for two hundred dollars.
Everyone else giggled, some congratulated Joey, and some made sarcastic remarks.
The second container was opened, and the Joy brothers did not look at their own container, apparently intending to shoot continuously.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw the old piano, and the voices of the onlookers immediately became enthusiastic.
The auctioneer was also very happy, and when everyone saw it, he immediately shouted:
"Bids start at $500, and the price increase must not be less than $50 per auction!"
"A thousand dollars!" Madden is the first to bid!
"Two thousand dollars!" Diana followed.
"Two thousand five hundred dollars!" Zhu Yu also followed.
However, his price was quickly overtaken, and within a minute, the price of this container was 6,000 dollars!
Everyone knows that those instruments are second-hand, but they are still worth some money!
In the end, the container was pocketed by Matt for 9,000 dollars.
Matt had a smug look on his face.
Next, there is the third container.
The auctioneer starts at $25 this time, with a price increase of no less than $25 each time.
Because the old table at the door is blocked, it is not easy to see clearly.
However, the sharp-eyed person still saw the old clothes exposed in the box inside.
The auctioneer also knows this, so the starting price is not high.
But even so, not many people participated in the auction.
Diana called the price once, and it was added to fifty dollars.
Then Zhu Yu increased the price once, to seventy-five dollars.
Zhu Yu's performance was not eye-catching, and no one paid attention to it.
Madden added a price to a hundred dollars.
Zhu Yu's palms were sweaty—he was going to take down the container, but it couldn't be too obvious.
Seeing that no one had raised the price, he raised it to one hundred and twenty-five dollars with a slightly nervous voice.
The auctioneer looked at him with some strange eyes - he had seen several times at the auction site, but he had never seen Zhu Yu auction.
But this time, I'm afraid this Huaxia kid will lose!
After Zhu Yu made two bids, no one made any more bids.
Zhu Yu was a little worried, but he didn't show it.
Diana suddenly asked Zhu Yu:
"Zhu, why do you have to take down this container?"
Joey interjected next to him:
"I've heard that Chinese people know kung fu and some mysterious things. Can Zhu see that there is a treasure in this container? ”
Listening to the words of these two people, the others all cast concerned glances.
Zhu Yu wanted to strangle Joey to death at this time!
However, he was still very calm on the surface, and smiled self-deprecatingly:
"I want to take the previous container down too. But I only have a thousand dollars on hand, and I can only look at these worthless containers. ”
He pointed at Matt, then at Diana, and said:
"As long as you look at the container, the bid even reaches tens of thousands of dollars, there is no need to grab this little money from us poor people, right?"
His words successfully attracted the power of firepower to these big bulls.
After all, most of these dozen people have a net worth of a few thousand dollars, and they can't compete with those big bulls at all!
Zhu Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
I hope I can get through it!
