Chapter 545 Show Your Fighting Spiri (2/2)

Sure enough, a well-dressed, middle-aged tourist made his bid, shouting, ”700 dollars!”

Li Du shrugged. Okay, this unit is yours, he thought.

He didn't place the bid to scam the tourists. He wanted everyone to think that he was interested in the unit, and that might be interested in other units. This way, when it was time for the sports equipment unit to be auctioned, nobody would notice that unit was his real target.

The price was now fixed at 700 dollars. After calling three times, the auctioneer waved and said, ”Very good sir, this unit is now yours!”

When the unit had first been opened, the auctioneer had actually been worried that it might go unsold. He never thought that a trash unit could be sold for 700 dollars. This made him pleasantly surprised.

The tourist group was cheering and clapping enthusiastically. Some congratulated the middle-aged tourist; some were even shouting, ”Daehan Minguk Manse!”

The Koreans were very united. These tourists might have come from different areas of Korea and competed with each other during the auction, but when someone won the unit, everyone sincerely wished him well.

The second unit on auction was opened. Hans replaced the tour guide and became the pillar of the tour group; the tourists gathered around him to listen to what he said about the second unit.

When the auction for the second unit started, the tourists immediately started to bid.

Maybe Hans had said something; there were many tourists who were interested in the unit. The price started at 200 dollars and quickly rose to 1,000 dollars.

Li Du placed a bid when the price was around 1,200 dollars. And he had no other chances to place a bid because the price shot up to 1,500 dollars, thanks to the tourists.

Seeing this, several treasure hunters shook their head and left. Some of them were cursing under their breath, ”F*cking greenhorns. You're paying a ton for a bunch of sh*t. I can't wait to see how you're going to move it back home!”

Some treasure hunters crossed their arms and rested under the shade. It seemed like they were waiting to see what would happen next.

The subsequent units were opened and with Hans and Lu Guan's lead, the tourists were like locusts passing over fields of crops. They fiercely placed their bids for the units and won them one after another.

By now, eight units had fallen into the hands of the tourists. The treasure hunters scored nothing against them. Some tourists had won a couple units; their financial prowess left the treasure hunters speechless.

Li Du heard a white treasure hunter sighing helplessly, ”F*ck, why did all those rich foreigners come to America? You snatch our food, snatch our houses, snatch our women, now you're even snatching the f*cking trash units?”

Mr. Li nearly burst out laughing upon hearing this, but he controlled himself as he suddenly realized something: this might be what the treasure hunters think of him as well.

Before the auction for the ninth unit started, Li Du knew he had to do something. This unit was a must-get for him!

Therefore, when the auction for the eighth unit ended, he walked over to the treasure hunters and said solemnly, ”My friends, show your fighting spirit! What's the matter? Why are you backing down? You're backing down on your own turf?”

The treasure hunters were bewildered. Thoughts ran through their minds:

What are you doing?

Is the commander of the Imperial Roman army giving a pre-war speech?

Aren't you the Treasure Tycoon of Flagstaff? When did Winslow become your territory?

With the icy looks of the treasure hunters, Li Du already knew that his words wouldn't have any effect on them. They would not listen to him and they'd pit recklessly against the tourists using their hard-earned cash just to win a unit.

The words that Li Du said were actually for the tourists. The tourists knew he was Mr. Treasure Tycoon.

Standing outside the storage unit, he continued to position himself as a righteous treasure hunter of Winslow and shouted, ”My friends, this is our territory! We can't let visitors just take our units like this, we can't be defeated! I'll fight for the next unit and I'll definitely win it. This is our pride as treasure hunters!”

The tourists looked on at the scene unfolding in front of them with interest. Some sneered, some curled their lips in disdain while some clapped their hands. ”Wow, this man really lives up to his name as the Treasure Tycoon. But he's a Chinese, what a pity!”

The ninth unit was opened. After viewing the unit, Li Du wore a serious and determined expression, as if he were about to fight a strong battle.

Hans and Lu Guan shook their heads at the tourists and spoke softly to them. And throughout the conversation, they kept shaking their heads.
