Chapter 127 Instant Fame!
Because Old Madden and Diana made money from the container they bid for, the subsequent bidding scene became even more heated!
Zhu Yu was unexpected by this situation!
"Thirteen thousand dollars. Thirteen thousand dollars. This handsome guy bids thirteen thousand dollars. Is there any increase in price? Okay, okay. I saw this beautiful woman bid fifteen thousand dollars. Fifteen thousand dollars. She's such a great person." A bold beauty..."
Cook tried to control and adjust the atmosphere of the auction at first, but later on, he was not needed at all. The enthusiasm of the treasure hunters who participated in the auction had been ignited, and every container was rushing to bid——
Just like this one now, when the cabinet door is opened, treasure hunters can see that there are several rolls of old carpets, several boxes of wooden ornaments, and seven or eight objects covered by cloth standing on the fixed wooden shelf inside.
Then everyone began to guess that there must be something more expensive or unique inside.
The starting bid was three hundred dollars, but a treasure hunter imitating Old Madden raised it to five thousand dollars as soon as he opened the bidding!
Then the price soared. Zhu Yu was a little surprised when he looked at it. Are these guys crazy?
He actually knew that there were just some vertical tapestries measuring 1.5 meters by 50 centimeters square. There were also some weird little people woven on the blankets, which Zhu Yu himself couldn't understand.
However, considering the strange aesthetics of the United States, Zhu Yu's psychological price for selling this container was US$10,000. If it was any more, he would definitely lose money.
However, within two days of the auction opening, the price was raised to fifteen thousand US dollars!
Zhu Yu shook his head, it was so crazy!
However, no one cares about him. Everyone's goal is the few items at the bottom. If there are valuable items inside, they can make enough money for a month this time!
In the end, the container was snapped up by an artistic white lady in her 27s and 27s for $21,000.
Some people followed Cook to Container No. 4, while others stayed where they were, waiting for the lady to go in and reveal the "mystery."
Zhu Yu also stayed where he was. He could see that the lady was smiling the whole time, and her expression was full of curiosity. She didn't seem to be here to make money, but rather to seek excitement.
Zhu Yu was a little worried. If she later found out that the things inside did not help her earn back the money she paid, but would instead lose some money, what kind of expression would she make? Can she still laugh?
The lady did as everyone expected. After entering, she stepped over the old carpets and wooden frames and walked towards the covered things inside.
When she arrived, she took a deep breath, as if to calm herself down, and then opened the curtain.
"What is that?"
"It looks like a tapestry?"
"If it's a tapestry, then that beautiful lady will definitely lose in this auction."
"As a newbie, I can understand."
"I don't think so. Some hand-woven tapestries are also very valuable."
"But this format is too small. I don't think it's worth much money at all. This lady has suffered a huge loss..."
Zhu Yu heard the whispers of treasure hunters nearby, and he felt that this might be the truth!
However, the lady did not show a disappointed expression, but bent down to carefully observe the tapestries.
Just when some of the disappointed treasure hunters were going to try their luck in the next container, suddenly, the lady screamed:
"Papa! It's Papa! Oh my god! I didn't expect to find such a beautiful Papa here..."
Her expression was one of genuine surprise, and then she turned and waved to a middle-aged man in the crowd:
"Mr. Francis, please come and take a look. I think these tapestries are the Papa you once talked about..."
A middle-aged gentleman in the crowd who had not spoken much walked in with an incredible expression on his face:
"How is this possible? How could Papa appear here? Ava, did you see it wrong?"
Judging from the names of the two people, Zhu Yu was confused. What kind of relationship is this?
Students and teachers?
Gentleman and lover?
Or a year-end date?
But what the hell are they talking about Papa?
Some of the treasure hunters had already looked at Zhu Yu with strange eyes.
Zhu Yu understood what they meant instantly.
These treasure hunters thought that these two people were invited by Zhu Yu!
Otherwise, why would Papa surprise them so much?
Also, what the hell is Papa?
The problem is, Zhu Yu doesn’t know either!
He doesn’t know if this thing is good or not!
Zhu Yu felt that he had to study harder.
Otherwise, you will really enter the treasure mountain and come back empty-handed. Even if you see it, you won't recognize it!
"I found it, I found it!" someone suddenly exclaimed, "It turns out that Papa is a tapestry handwoven by an indigenous people in the Indian Peninsula. The little man on it is the totem they worship..."
"Is it valuable?" A treasure hunter asked the question that everyone wanted to ask.
"Papa is just this big, usually not large," the man replied while looking at his phone. "Usually the price ranges from US$2,000 to US$6,000..."
"Fake, right?"
"Isn't it possible?"
"There are at least seven papas in this. Even if we take the median number, this lady will be rich, right?"
As a result, the expressions of regret and gloating just now turned into envy and jealousy on the treasure hunter's face!
And some of them looked at Zhu Yu with eager expressions!
Good luck Chinese boy, if you follow him, you will indeed get good luck!
Zhu Yu felt a little baffled. Was he making money again?
Many people can't wait to run to the next container. The observation there is about to end, and they are already planning to start shooting!
Although the old Americans don't know the saying "it's better to retreat and build a net if you're in the deep water", they also know that making money here has nothing to do with them.
It’s serious to make money by taking down containers yourself!
So, the auction over there is booming again!
Zhu Yu walked slowly towards the fourth container.
He remembered that this container contained some things from Brazil. There was some wood inside, and the outer box contained some logging tools, including circle saws, chain saws, chain saws, and the like.
When Zhu Yu walked over, the starting price of six hundred dollars had already been raised to four thousand two hundred dollars!
Zhu Yu also heard someone guessing from behind:
"If there is precious wood inside, it would be worth at least more than 10,000 US dollars! I think it's worth taking a picture of!"
Then this person raised his hand high:
"Five thousand dollars!"
In the end, the container was photographed for US$9,110 by a middle-aged man with Mediterranean hair. Zhu Yu thought this man looked forty years old, but he was actually almost thirty years old, which made him look older.
From beginning to end, this person only made two bids, and then the auction was successful.
This time, not many bidders stayed, and they all swarmed to the fifth container.
After all, only by taking pictures can you ensure that you can make money, otherwise you can only watch others count money!
Zhu Yu followed slowly. It seemed that today's first auction was over.
In the future, when the containers at my freight yard are auctioned, I won’t have to worry about no one coming.
He looked at Jason who was guarding not far away and waved.
Jason rushed over immediately:
"Boss, what are your orders?"
"Everyone will receive a bonus of $100 today! In addition, you should take people to other cargo yards as soon as possible to find containers that can be purchased for auction. It is best for us to guarantee an auction every three days."
"Understood!" Jason beamed when he heard about the bonus. This is Boss's affirmation of his work!
"This time the bonus is five hundred dollars for you and three hundred dollars for Bundy and the others. Just say what I said."
Jason's grin became even wider, he simply bowed to Zhu Yu and ran away.
After a while, Zhu Yu heard the cheers of the little blacks.
Chapter completed!
