Chapter 1469 Cooperating Again (1/2)
As soon as the price was quoted, Dickens and the others felt helpless.
Li Du gave them a reserve price of 280,000 dollars, which was now exceeded. What could they do?
When the auction was over, Logan took the house and paid $300,000 for it.
Li Du looked at Logan, who happened to be looking at him too. As their eyes met, Logan mimicked shooting him and smiled.
Logan's ability could be seen from this auction. He directly offered 300,000 dollars, which was the market price under normal circumstances. Taking the house with this price meant there would be little to no profit space.
However, he took the house from Li Du, and Li Du and the others would have no chance to profit.
Hans, for whom it was the first time in such auction, touched his chin and said, ”Hey, brother, there's something between you two.”
Li Du said, ”I sent his brother to prison, and I guess he will stay in there his whole life.”
”You still do things in such a hard way,” Hans said.
The fourth house was a detached property too, and Li Du was interested. This time he valued the house at 350,000 dollars. Ollie bid 300,000 dollars and no one else spoke up. He was excited and was prepared to take the house, when Logan called out, ”340,000!”
The veins on Ollie's forehead twitched and he slapped his thigh. ”Damn, the old jumper is on us. He must have something against us!”
Li Du stopped him from bidding impulsively.
Since Logan was willing to take the house at that price, he was prepared to let him take it. He was not making money anyway, just trying to get revenge.
As long as Li Du and his treasure hunters did not bid, Logan would not either. Realizing at this, Hans touched his chin with a thoughtful expression and left the room.
After two rounds of auction, Hans was back again, but his image had changed. He was clean-shaven, he put on a different T-shirt, and he wore sunglasses and a hat that would make it hard to recognize him for those who did not know him well.
Another house that Li Du was interested in was put up for auction. This was a small villa with a market price of 800,000$, and its location was very good, close to the famous Los Angeles middle school Saint Elsen.
Li Du himself joined the bidding. The house's starting price was 450,000 dollars, and he offered 500,000 at once.
Logan wanted to make an offer, but someone else, who shouted ”600,000”, outbid him!
Logan glanced at the bidder, who seemed unfamiliar and appeared to be an independent property buyer. He gave up the idea of making another offer and waited.
Li Du followed the quotation, ”610,000!”
Someone else shouted, ”620,000!”
The stranger raised the price again. ”650,000!”
Li Du shook his head and gave up on bidding. Others gave up too, and the auctioneer announced, ”Okay, 650,000, the villa goes to this gentleman!”
