The problem with the final unit was that the tools were not covered and most of them were exposed. Units like this would probably end up with a higher bidding price and a lower rate of return.

The auctioneer knew the value of the unit was high and started the bidding at 1,000 dollars.

Li Du placed a bid of 1,500 dollars and the bidding price soared to 3,000 dollars in just a few exchanges. He shook his head and did not place any more bids.

The unit was sold at a final price of 4,500 dollars, which Li Du felt would hardly earn any profit. Although the stuff in there could sell for at approximately 5,000 dollars, one still needed to factor in the manpower costs needed to clear the unit.

The auction ended, and it was time to clear the units.

As the weather was still very warm, Li Du hesitated for a while and said, ”Let’s pack up the unit after the sun sets.”

The storage units had no air-conditioner to supply them with cool air while they packed up the unit. During the auction, many treasure hunters were already drinking a lot of cold water to cool down, even though they were outside the storage units.

Godzilla felt that he could handle the heat and said, ”Never mind that, boss, I can do it!”

Li gave him a pat on the shoulder and his hand felt wet—Godzilla was already perspiring from the heat.

”Since I am your boss you should listen to me,” Li Du said. ”There aren’t a lot of things inside the unit anyway. You could clear a unit like this in, at most, two hours. Let’s come back tonight.”

Godzilla nodded his head vigorously. ”Okay, boss!”

Hans remarked, ”That’s cool! Li, you know how to be on someone’s good side.”

Li Du pointed at Hans. ”You should be thinking about how to be a good son-in-law,” he teased. ”You’re very capable with the ladies. You got yourself a wife just by attending an auction.”

Hans was rendered speechless. Not too far away, there was an Infiniti parked under a tree. Avril’s parents were chilling under the shade and looking at Hans at the same time.

Both of them looked at Hans with such eagerness and fervor that even Li Du who was inexperienced on such matters could figure out that both Mr. and Mrs. Larry were looking at Hans like their prospective son-in-law.

When the three of them left the storage company, Mr. and Mrs. Larry stopped Hans. Hans glanced to Li Du—he was seeking help.

Li Du gave a pat on his shoulder and faced the middle-aged couple. ”My buddy here is a traditional Christian. He’s a rather shy man when it comes to personal matters. So just be straightforward with him.”

Hans almost blurted out all the cuss words that he knew!

When it was evening, the temperate got much lower and Li Du brought Godzilla to pack up the unit.

Soon after they opened up the storage unit, Hans came back as well, looking listless and exhausted; his steps seemed feeble and weak.

Li Du couldn’t help thinking otherwise. ”Bullsh*t—don’t tell me you did it? Isn’t that too fast?”

”Get lost!” Hans yelled. ”How did I get a friend like you? D*mn, I’m ruined by you!”

Li Du said, ”You need to thank me, Big Fox—you’ve already reached the marriageable age!”

”I’m not going to get married!” Hans said sternly.

While the two of them were verbally sparring with each other, Godzilla was packing and carrying box after box of items, loading them onto the Iron Knight.

Soon, the quaint, old-fashioned vending machines came into view.

Hans’s eyes lit up the moment he saw the vending machines. ”Hey big guy, get the vending machines out first!” Hans instructed Godzilla.

Li Du asked with interest, ”This thing’s valuable?”

Hans nodded. ”If this is the vintage lever vending machine, then it’s valuable. Otherwise, the regular ones could sell for some cash too.”

Li Du asked, ”Have you done some research on vending machines?”
