Chapter 1211 77 and 103 (2/2)
Hans found it hard to believe. ”It's that valuable?”
Li Du nodded. ”Believe me, the jewels in the safety deposit box are very valuable.”
Hans considered this for a while before he said firmly, ”Then let's be more daring. We must take it down, and we will increase our maximum bid. We will increase it up to six hundred thousand. We can take it down as long as it is up to that sum!”
There was silence in the car. After thinking for some time, Li Du spoke. ”Alright, six hundred thousand dollars it is.”
After having dinner outside, they drove the car back to the hotel and continued to discuss the auction that would take place the next day.
”Number 103 might not be easy to win. You heard the guy. That dude said they have sold the information. I'm afraid that there will be many people who got the news. Hence, we must definitely take down number 77.”
”No problem with number 77. The furniture is all inside the boxes. They are well kept. From the outside, it looks like just a bunch of boxes, and nobody would want to take a risk for those.”
”Then let's first take down number 77. How far can we go?”
”That's not easy to decide, brother. If all goes OK and nobody knows what is inside the warehouse, we can keep the price at two thousand dollars. But what if the in-charge revealed the information to others?”
”He won't do that, right? What would he gain?”
”But what if he did? On the other hand, maybe he really didn't tell anyone. However, who can confirm that nobody else knows what is inside number 77? We should be ready for anything.”
”Alright then, let's set an auction reserve price. How much would you say?”
”Four hundred thousand. The furniture in the warehouse is from brands like Zenith Badge, Versace and other similar brands. We can sell it off for at least five hundred thousand. Even if we get four hundred thousand for it, there should still be a profit for us.”
”Then we should go ahead with that. Four hundred thousand dollars as the auction reserve price. And for warehouse number 103, we will set it at six hundred thousand?”
”Yes, we just have to take down those two. We would be able to make a six-digit profit. If we are lucky, it might even go up to seven digits!”
”F*ck, we must definitely succeed!”
The two of them kept up an animated discussion. In between, Hans made another phone call to confirm with someone the information on the items inside warehouse number 77. He also took the chance to ask about warehouse number 103.
The other party did not know anything about 103. Now that the warehouse was locked up, he did not have a way to go in for a look anymore.
After Hans hung up, he and Li Du continued to drink and chat about other topics. It was only nine-thirty when they split up to go to bed.
Though it was the first weekend of January, the surroundings of the Macy's warehouse became lively. There were many pickup trucks passing by in the early morning and the carpark was filling up fast.
The trucks and cars did not stop arriving and when the parking lots were all occupied, the drivers had no choice but to park at a deserted area nearby.
Li Du and his group had had a comfortable breakfast before driving towards the warehouse.
It was not even eight o'clock when they arrived and there were already forty to fifty people. The carpark was full and hence, they ended up parking their car at a random empty spot.
Shortly, two MPVs parked near them. When the door opened, a few tough men with the Eagle Beak Gang tattoos on their necks stepped down.
