Chapter 1628 - Overestimating One’s Potential (2/2)

“Fifteen hundred dollars. This warehouse is mine!”

“You wish to own it? Have you asked me? Two thousand dollars!”

“You dolts, move, I’m forking out three thousand dollars!”

“F*ck, five thousand dollars, who’s next?!”

The amount increased very swiftly. The children’s eagerness to win was triggered. Victoria shouted, “I’m biding six thousand dollars! Our group bids six thousand!”

A treasure hunter was about to call out a bid. However, Ivana, who was beside them, spoke up earlier, “What is six thousand dollars? We are bidding seven thousand dollars!”

“Seven thousand dollars? Ha, that’s impressive. We bid seven thousand and five hundred dollars!”

“Hey, hey, Jeron, what a stingy bast*rd you are! What’s the meaning of topping up five hundred dollars? Our group bids eight thousand dollars!”

Li Du was stunned. Hearing that, he immediately raised his hand and said, “Don’t act rashly. Who taught you guys to bid like this? Weren’t you listening to me?”

The situation was out of his control. The youth named Jeron pushed him away and then shouted at the children who bid, “Hey, you are stingy too, didn’t you top up five hundred dollars too?”

The children who had bid eight thousand dollars were stumped. It seemed that his math was not too good. He asked people around him, “Did I top up five hundred dollars?”

Someone by the side shouted, “Then we will bid ten thousand dollars, now it’s not just topping up five hundred, right?”

Li Du was starting to grow angry. He asked, “Are you guys so rich? We’re talking about ten thousand dollars!”

“We are. Our group had prepared a lot of money,” the child who had bid patted his backpack proudly.

Victoria refused to budge down and shouted, “We also have a lot of money, we are bidding…”

Li Du pointed at her and said sternly, “Victoria, you had better stop. How do you have so much money? Did Godzilla give you money behind my back?”

The young lady stuck out her tongue and disappeared into the crowd with her backpack.

The other children were still tempted. Li Du pointed at them and said, “Is nobody going to listen to the teacher? What did I tell you guys? The maximum threshold for this warehouse is five thousand dollars! Five thousand! And you guys have bid ten thousand dollars?!”

A teacher looked toward White Gloves nervously. “Sir, can I ask if the bids of these children can be retracted?”

White Gloves was put in a spot. According to the rules, in warehouse auction trade, the bids were final once called. Nobody was allowed to retract their bid.

A few treasure hunters started to cheer. A man said gloatingly, “You guys are participating in the auction in the name of China Li, haha, if you guys retract your bids…”

Li Du waved his hand calmly and said, “Continue the bidding, go on, the auction has yet to end.”

Saying that, he glared at the children and said, “All of you keep quiet, nobody is allowed to bid anymore!”

The children fell silent reluctantly. The scene was bustling.

The youth with the black jacket laughed, “This auction has ended. Who would fork out more than ten thousand?!

Indeed, the auctioneer continued to invite bids. Nobody followed up. The children had also taken down that warehouse.

The youth in the black jacket smiled at Li Du. “Congratulations, Mr. Li.”

Li Du laughed. His smile was very bright. As he fist-bumped the children, he replied to the youth in the black jacket, “Thanks a lot. This really is a good warehouse.”

Seeing that, and especially that the children were cheering, a treasure hunter asked, “What happened?”

Olly crossed his arms and laughed coldly. “What else could have happened? The children took the warehouse from you guys. You guys can’t even beat the children and you wanted to challenge Li? That’s overestimating your potential!”
