57. It's luck again

Warehouse No. 085 is the location of the antique clock. It is full of boxes and the door is covered with raw cowhide. Many treasure pickers are willing to take risks for it.

Raw cowhide is of great value. Such a large roll can be sold for at least a thousand yuan. There are neat wooden boxes inside, and they are wrapped with care. Obviously, there are valuable things in it, otherwise they would not have been preserved like this.

In this way, the warehouse will be valuable.

There is another reason that shows the value of the warehouse, that is, Li Du and Hans are determined to win it.

The treasure pickers learned that the two got news about the antique clock from Andrew, but they didn't know how specific the news they got was.

So, when two people bid for the warehouse, others will definitely follow the quotes. Combined with the boxes in the warehouse and the exquisite packaging, someone will guess what is in the box.

This is why the two seek to cooperate with the presidential umbrella. They cannot take action in person. I wonder how many people are staring at them.

Fortunately, there are many boxes in the warehouse, but there are no antique clocks. To some extent, these boxes have become the cover of antique clocks.

The auctioneer raised his hand and started quoting: "Everyone saw what was there at the door. It was a large roll of raw cowhide. We all know that raw cowhide is very valuable. So I think the starting price of 400 yuan is reasonable. Does anyone want to accept it?"

"1,000 yuan!" The president's umbrella still posed as a 'I'm a rich man' to shout.

The alliance between Li and Du and him was carried out secretly, and the two sides could sign the alliance letter, so the others did not know that the two sides had joined forces.

Most of them looked at the two, obviously, they had already smelled the smell of antique clocks from these exquisite wooden boxes, but they were just not sure.

Hans pretended not to see these gazes, and he followed the offer: "1,100 yuan!"

Seeing his offer, many people's eyes lit up and began to look at the warehouse again.

The auctioneer pointed his finger at the two of them before they could speak, and the sound of the president's umbrella continued: "1,500 yuan!"

Hans snorted and asked for a bid. Li Du pulled him and shook his head and said, "These cowhides can be sold for at most 1,000 yuan, do you want to take risks?"

Hearing him say this, Hans muttered, "I just can't stand this guy's approach. Does he think he's the only one in the world who has money?"

The president's umbrella still looked serious and didn't even look at him.

In this way, the group of people who were preparing to participate in the auction retreated one after another. The acting of Li Du and Hans successfully deceived them, making everyone think that they were just quoting for the sake of living a cowhide.

If you just quote for raw cowhide, it would be a bit risky, just as Li Du said, 1,500 yuan is already a bit of a risk.

But there is never a shortage of adventure-loving treasure pickers in the world, and some people offer 1,600 yuan.

The president's umbrella quietly increased the price to 2,000 yuan. Some people withdrew, and some people continued to follow the price, staring at the wooden boxes - there are always keen eyes among the treasure pickers.

"The price is very good to be 2,500 yuan, so it's very good. This guy's offer is 2,600 yuan, OK, the president's umbrella is 2,700 yuan..."

At 2,500 yuan, the bidding range of the presidential umbrella began to decrease. At 3,000 yuan, he hesitated when he quoted.

Hans raised his middle finger at him and said, "Hey, didn't you come back from Florida after earning more than 100,000 yuan? Why did you need to remove it for only 3,000 yuan?"

The president's umbrella looked at him gloomyly, gritted his teeth and said, "Four thousand yuan, I have money!"

Hans booed, still holding his middle finger high.

Several people who were interested in bidding glared at Hans with dissatisfaction. The current scene seemed to be the president's umbrella being forced to offer a price on the face, and also showed the determination to take a picture of the warehouse.

A bald middle-aged man quoted 4,100 yuan, and the president's umbrella immediately rose 400 to 4,500 yuan. Some people quoted 4,600 yuan, but he quoted 5,000 yuan.

Seeing this, the treasure pickers withdrew from the bidding ranks, and several people made a "throat cut" action on the president's protective umbrella: "You go and play by yourself."

Li Du shouted: "Hey, man in sunglasses, do you want to get all the warehouses?"

The president's umbrella sneered: "I will spend all the money I bring!"

After getting the antique clock, Li Du felt relieved and the main purpose of this auction was achieved.

There are four warehouses with some value behind, but he doesn't plan to participate in the shooting anymore. These warehouses only have small value and can earn 1,200 or 1,000 yuan.

It would be fine if he made a profit himself. Now he has to split up with the president's umbrella and Hans. If he can't get a few hundred yuan, it won't make much sense.

There is another reason. The twenty-five warehouses will probably not be photographed until evening. If they cannot clean up the warehouse at night, they will have to come back tomorrow.

But the key to the warehouse is in the hands of the president's umbrella, and Li Du can't trust him. What if he comes to the warehouse to search and take away the antique clock at night?

So, it’s better to quickly divide the antique clock and settle your thoughts.

The president's umbrella also wanted to participate in the auction later. Li Du shook his head and said, "The antique clock is in warehouse No. 085. Do you want to go and have a look?"

Hearing what he said so confidently, the president's umbrella suddenly became excited. He said, "Let me take a look first. If it is indeed inside, then let's divide the antique clock first. If it is not inside, then continue shooting!"

After paying the money and getting the asset transfer certificate, they opened the warehouse and moved out a large roll of raw cowhide.

This thing is very heavy, and the two of them can barely lift it.

Then both parties began to open the wooden boxes, Hans said: "Be careful, these wooden boxes are at least a hundred years old, and they are all works of art that can be sold for money. Be careful when disassembling them."

The president's umbrella picked up a shaking his head and said, "There is nothing inside, so don't take it apart."

After moving out more than ten boxes, a wooden box finally became heavy. The three of them were all excited. They carefully opened the wooden box, and the nanmu antique clock showed their true colors.

The president took off his sunglasses and threw them aside, gritting his teeth and said, "Yeah! Damn it, I hurried back from Florida is the right choice! God bless me, I made money!"

All fifty-four boxes were moved out, with a total of nine antique clocks. The two sides began to negotiate how to divide them.

"Selling the antique clock and splitting it into five or five, this is the rule," Hans said.

Li Du shook his head and said, "This is not good. There are too many clocks, and there are only two of them that are genuine and the other seven are fakes. It will be even more troublesome to sell them. If you want to share the money, you may have to wait until when."

The presidential umbrella also means this: "What should I do?"

Li Du suggested: "It's better to do this, let's try our luck."

"How to try?"

Li Du said: "Put them back into the box, and then you or I will choose, who will choose first and take four, and leave five for the other party, how about it?"

The president's umbrella hesitated: "This is too risky."

Li Du smiled and said, "They are difficult to sell in a short time. If we don't separate now, who will save these antique clocks? Are you still us? To be honest, we don't trust you."

The president's umbrella thought for a long time and nodded, "Okay, this is an idea, so who will come first?"

Li Du said: "It is purely more than luck. If you choose first, choose four, and then choose to go to the warehouse to put the clock in the box, disrupt the order, and bet on luck."

The president's umbrella stared at him, and then suddenly laughed: "Chinese Lee, you are such a cunning guy."
