Chapter 5: Chapter 5 An Exciting Auction
"1000 dollars!"
The big guy shouted, pulling the corner of his mouth.
"2000 dollars."
Unwilling to show weakness, Watson showed great confidence.
"2500 dollars!"
The more he fights the braver he grows. The big guy had adjusted his state of mind to be out of balance. He had earned a lot of money by tricking people. Although he had spent a lot, he didn't care about the loss of more than 10000 dollars. Now he just wanted to make Watson lose everything he owned.
"3000 dollars." Watson was ready to give up. The value of this warehouse was about 3000 dollars. If the big guy continued to quote, he would definitely not follow.
"3200 dollars!" The big guy said casually. He had just received a message from the most unreliable inside man. The value of this warehouse must be far more than 3000 dollars.
"It's yours." Watson gave up decisively.
In order to make Watson lose everything he owed, the big guy didn't even look at the things in the warehouse. After paying the money, he followed Watson to the last warehouse.
In the last warehouse, there was only a pile of scrap metal. The most valuable thing was a dilapidated vintage car without an engine.
The car was in a mess, only the engine was still intact.
Unfortunately, the engine had been taken off as he have already collude with the insiders. It’s a pity that time was not enough, or they could get more things.
"The auction of warehouse No. 60 began."
The lock of the warehouse was pierced through by gas welding. After opening the warehouse, the first thing people saw was the backlight of the vintage car!
The treasure hunters who still wanted to have a try got excited again.
Covered by the white cloth, the vintage car could only be distinguished the general outline vaguely, but the integrity and specific model of the car could not be seen.
The auctioneer prolonged the time for everyone to observe the warehouse on purpose.
After a long while, he said, "Everyone, this is the last warehouse for this auction. If you want to get it, you'd better take action now. The starting price is 2000 dollars."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone said, "Is a dilapidated vintage car worth 2000 dollars? Do you take us as idiots?"
"Yes, yes. The wheels are completely rusty. I guess all the parts of the car are not good."
"In my opinion, this is a pile of scrap metal. It can't be used on the road, and it will cost a lot of money to repair the surface."
The words of the treasure hunters immediately aroused the resonance of the crowd. They felt that this auction was like a joke, and the warehouse manager treated them as monkeys.
"Be quiet!"
"If you don't want to quote, someone will,"
Watson looked at Hans, who has more experience.
"Go for it. Even if there is a skeleton, it is worth 2000."
Hearing this, Watson raised his hand and quoted, "2000 dollars!" without hesitation
The rate of return: about 1000 folds
What! 1000 folds!
Watson he thought he had seen something wrong again, but the bright number was incomparably conspicuous. After counting, there are still three "0" after the "1".
It was really 1000 folds.
"2100 dollars."
"2200 dollars."
"2300 dollars."
…
"2900 dollars for the first time."
The bidding didn't slow down until the quotation was 2900 dollars.
In everyone's eyes, this vintage car is worth about 3000 dollars at most. If they continued to raise the price, they would have to pay for the labor cost of the later repair.
"2900 dollars for the second time, any more?"
"3000!”Watson quoted immediately.
Hans hesitated for a while, but he still didn't stop Watson. He had witnessed Watson's performance today, and he could only be described as being bold and careful. He wouldn't have made a move if he hadn't been fully prepared.
"Hans, my friend, in fact, I also have the inside information. I'm sure to get this warehouse. Remember to act with me later, and I'll raise the price crazily. When the price reaches 8000 dollars, you must jump out to stop me."
Hearing the number 8000, Hans was still stunned. He didn't see anything special about the vintage car. Seeing that Watson was so confident, he nodded.
"Here, 4000 dollars." The big guy said.
"Then I'll give you 5000 dollars."
All the people present had an expression of "Really the case, it's coming again". With these two spoilers, they simply gave up the bidding and watched the show.
"Here, 7000 dollars!" Not to be outdone, the big guy raised the price by 2000 dollars.
"Ha-ha, will I be afraid of you?
Watson was about to raise the price but was stopped by Hans in a hurry. "Are you crazy? We are running out of money!"
His voice was so loud that almost everyone present could hear it.
This was also what the two of them wanted. The one who got the biggest panic first was the big guy. He knew that after the engine of the vintage car was removed, the maximum value would be 2000 dollars. If the opponents did not raise the price, he would have to take the loss of 5000 dollars.
He even suspected that the two were setting a trap for him again and deliberately set him up with 5000 dollars.
The big guy breathed a sigh of relief, the fool Watson, regardless of his partner's dissuasion, quoted again. "I'll pay 8000 dollars, and if there's a higher price. I'll give this warehouse to him."
No one was willing to be the scapegoat. They really couldn't imagine what would be worth 8000 dollars in the No. 60 warehouse.
The big guy spread out his hands, indicating Watson to pay.
