If Li Du had made such a request when he had first started out, he would have surely been mocked by everyone
However, now that he had established a reputation for himself, the treasure hunters would not make fun of hi in their hearts too
After the auctioneer rejected it,the same request:
”Hey old man, let us in to see Why would we dare risk it if we’re just outside?”
”I have the o in and see”
”Is it all reallyus in to see?”
The auctioneer blocked the entrance like a statue He was unfazed by the requests and threats co from the treasure hunters
Li Du went up and whispered to him, ”Hey man, if you want to make more money, then let everyone in to see If you don’t, nobody will dare h offers Also, you’re aware of what’s in the subsequent units Unless you let everyone find out whether it’s authentic, when et lower!”
The auctioneer said without any change in expression, ”Sorry, rules are rules”
”Rules are fixed, but humans are flexible,” Li Du said as he patted his shoulder ”Trust me, the furniture looks authentic to me After you let everyone have a proper look, the bids will definitely increase!”
No one would turn down htly hesitant now
Li Du was right about one thing: the auctioneer did knoas in the subsequent units, because as an auctioneer, he would have had a prior examination of the units for sale so that he could discuss with the co units were all full of any furniture As the auction proceeded, everyone’s interest in the bidding would fall, because the croould guess that they were all replicas
If the furniture were all authentic, seven units would total up to et that ht and what the auctioneer thought too Thus, the initial bids were all set at only a few thousand dollars
However, the final offer of the first unit had shaken the auctioneer According to the rules of the trade, his commission was related to the prices that the units were sold at
With over 60,000 dollars for the first unit, he had earned 6,000 dollars in one go If the units after could sell for such a price too, he would make a fortune
While he hoped that the other units would sell for that high, he still didn’t dare let others observe the furniture closely If they decided that they were fakes, he wouldn’t earn much from the He gave the final blow: ”Let us in to see Whether they are real or not, I proive the initial bid of 50,000 dollars, how about it?”
Finally, the auctioneer caved He stared at Li Du as he said, ”You promise to bid 50,000 dollars as the initial bid?”
Li Du faced the crowd and shouted, ”Everyone can be o in, I’ll bid 50,000 dollars, which would be the base price for this auction!”
The treasure hunters all wanted to go in Hence, hearing what he said, they immediately backed Li Du up
”We’ll be the witness!”
”Go Boss Li!”
