Chapter 1091 Something Lost, Something Gained (1/2)
As there were too many people participating in the auction, the auction of the twenty-
two warehouses stretched over two days.
Li Du did not make any bids for the rest of the warehouses, as he did not see any value
in them.
However, the treasure hunters from Flagstaff had made good money tracing behind Li
Du. While Li Du did not care about profits of a few thousands or tens of thousands,
those treasure hunters did. If they were able to take down a warehouse that was worth
more than ten thousand, they would be celebrating for days.
The treasure hunters from Arizona and other cities looked on at the Flagstaff treasure
hunters in envy. The Flagstaff treasure hunters had been following Li Du around, and
the latter quietly offered them guidance.
The treasure hunters from other cities were able to bid for the warehouses. However,
they were uncertain of how much they should bid. If their bids were too low, they would
not win. On the other hand, if they made a bid that was too high, they would lose
money.
That was exactly the area in which the Flagstaff treasure hunters benefited from Li Du's
guidance. Turis and the rest not only managed to take down warehouses but were also
able to make profits.
As the saying in the warehouse auction industry goes, taking down a warehouse was
nothing worth shouting about, making profits from it was what mattered.
As the auction went on, more people flocked around Li Du.
Turis, Dickens, and others were proud of themselves for joining the company of Li Du
and Hans. They spoke and laughed loudly, chests puffed out and heads high, enjoying
the attention and envious looks from others.
When more people joined them, Turis and his gang stopped them and warned them not
to block Li Du and Hans' view.
Some of those treasure hunters felt that it was unfair and said, ”Hey, we are also friends
with Big Li and Big Fox. We are all good friends, so why are you guys stopping us from
chatting with them?”
”That's right. Big Li and you guys are friends. However, now it's time to do business,
and it requires privacy. It's better to keep a distance, even between friends,” Olly
laughed.
Some of the treasure hunters queried, ”Then why aren't you guys keeping a distance?”</p>
”That's because Bi Li and Big Fox are from Flagstaff, same as us. Isn't it a given that we
would be following them?” Olly said self-righteously.
A local treasure hunter retorted instantly, ”Big Li and Big Fox have now settled down in
Phoenix, so they are now treasure hunters from Phoenix.”
The two groups started to argue and Li Du said to Hans, ”Go and stop everyone, why
did they start quarreling?”
Hans said, ”There's no hurry, let's wait for a while. Let me enjoy this for a bit. Haha, I
have been looking forward to this moment ever since I became a treasure hunter.
Today, this time has come.”
When the auction ended, the crowd dissipated and people started to pack up the items
in the warehouses.
Hans went forward to make the payment. They had not spent much on warehouse
number 7, as it cost only eleven thousand dollars.
Once they opened the door to the warehouse, Godzilla and Big Quinn got down to
business and moved out the items one by one.
In another warehouse along the same row, Princeps and the treasure hunters from
Tucson also started to pack up.
Princeps purposefully made his way over to Li Du and his gang and said, ”Hey, Big Li.
Do you want to have a look at my warehouse and give us some pointers? After all, that
warehouse was what you had your eye on.”
Li Du looked at him coldly and said, ”Brother Wolf, get him!”
Brother Wolf dashed towards Princeps, scaring him away.
The other treasure hunters around them erupted into laughter. However, the Tucson
gang looked on with darkened expression. They were embarrassed by Princeps'
actions.
Brother Wolf and Big Ivan helped as Godzilla and Big Quinn did the work. Meanwhile,
Hans supervised them, not leaving much for Li Du to do. Hence, Li Du strolled over to
take a look at warehouse number one.
Seeing Li Du, the Tucson gang frowned at him. ”Hey, why are you here?”
Li Du replied, ”Your boss invited me so sincerely just now, so can't I come over to take a
look?”
There were many people in the Tucson gang. As they were all experienced at auctions,
