Hans was also puzzled to see theo to New Mexico? Why are you back again?”
Carl stole a nervous glance at Li Du and said in an irritated tone, ”Hurry up and start the auction, pal Isn’t chatting disallowed during auctions?”
Li Du exchanged glances with Hans There was no need to say anything more—Hans understood what Li wanted him to do
There were a total of around 20 treasure hunters who attended the auction Hans chatted with one of them
A while later, he returned and said, ”There are four units on auction, the previous three on by Carl Therethem all”
Li Du smiled and said, ”Who knows? Let’s take this warehouse—he otten some insider information There’s certainly one valuable unit out of the four”
This would also explain why Carl and Rambis were flustered to see the two of them They feared that Li Du would spoil their plans
Carl kept urging the auctioneer to start quickly The auctioneer calmly answered, ”The two are from the Hundred Thousand Club, let them join in”
The auctioneer was concerned about his own interests Their coe units That meant it would bein an auction
Besides, treasure hunters in the Hundred Thousand Club were rich, had better judgement—able to accurately ascertain the value of the unit and tended to place higher bids
Carl's urging did not work; the auctioneer ignored him
”Pal, my brother-in-law is alruntled ”You’re showing disregard for hiazed at Ra at an idiot The auctioneer replied slowly, ”Yes, your brother-in-law is a quasi-Hundred Thousand Club member while the two of them, are already in the Hundred Thousand Club Who do you think I should take care of?”
Hans smiled ”Thank you, Hawthorne We’re done”
The auctioneer raised his hand after seeing Hans and Li Du finish their discussion He announced, ”This is the last storage unit for today, you’ve alreadybid is 200 dollars”
There were s in the warehouse: outdated newspapers and books, broken tables and chairs, stacks of ed clothes
With only one glance, one could tell that this was basically a trash unit; the type of unit that most treasure hunters would dread to make a bid on Most of the ti bid would usually be very low
Hans was puzzled by the starting bid and he whispered to the treasure hunter beside him Then he turned to Li Du ”The earlier units were all trash as well, but Carl took theht on the situation The auctioneer had raised the starting bid as he was sure Carl would bid for it Otherwise, such units generally started at 50 dollars
Sure enough, as soon as the auction started, Rambis raised his hand and said, ”Us”
The Auctioneer pointed at hiher price of 300, 300, 300 dollars?”
The other treasure hunters had skeptical expressions They could not see the value of the warehouse, and were therefore hesitant to bid
As the larger-scale silent auction had been held on the same day, most of the treasure hunters did not participate in Mee Co’s small auction Most who came were treasure hunters that did not have much cash on them
In their eyes, whether it was 200 or 300 dollars, it was still money—even a dollar shouldn’t be wasted
However, Carl's interest in the unit had sparked some curiosity with a few treasure hunters Someone made a bid: ”300 dollars!”
Not to be outdone, Rambis raised his bid by another 100 dollars
Li Du looked at Carl strangely, gave him a fake smile, and placed a bid
