Chapter 131: The Show Begins
"Gentlemen, the combined auction of the No. 76 and No. 77 warehouses of the Golden House is now open, and everyone has seen the situation of the warehouses very clearly, the bid starts at $3,000, who will pay $3,000? The gentleman ,...... 3,000."
Powell's voice came out, fast and loud, with a hint of excitement. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
He knew very well that these two warehouses would bring him a good commission income, so he was naturally very happy!
While shouting, he also kept scanning the audience so that he could quickly spot the bidders.
As soon as the words fell, someone immediately responded.
"$5,000 here"
The price was made by a professional treasure digger from Toronto.
He raised the price directly by $2,000, obviously optimistic about these two warehouses, and it seemed that he was bound to win!
But the price is not a deterrent, and everyone sees a value far beyond this.
Powell stretched out his hand and pointed at the Toronto treasure digger, and his voice followed closely, getting louder and louder, and his voice was like machine gun fire.
"Somebody bid $5,000, now it's $5,500, 5,500, who's going to take over? The gentleman? 5,500 ,......."
"$5,500, this warehouse is mine!"
A gold digger shouted, his face flushed with excitement.
A flash of joy flashed in Powell's eyes, let's have more competitors, the more the better!
He immediately pointed to the gold digger, ready to quote a new price.
But someone took the lead and gave him an even bigger surprise.
"$10,000, Powell!"
Ye Tian made a move, his tone was confident and firm, and his momentum was compelling.
The fire of war must be lit as soon as possible, and it cannot be boiled in warm water, and if it is slowly increased, if that happens, the price may be pushed very high by everyone, which is very uneconomical.
After shouting the price, he immediately turned his head to look at Dustin and said defiantly:
"Dustin, I'm going to take the wealth of Alaska, are you going to stop it?"
These words were not only directed at Dustin, but he also glanced at the rest of the gold diggers, and his eyes were full of provocation.
Being so provoked on their own turf that these hot-tempered gold diggers, who deal with heavy machinery every day, could not bear it, and the curses immediately erupted.
"Fake, this damn bastard, you can't let him succeed today!"
"This place belongs to us, and we must not let this New York scoundrel run amok!"
While cursing, these people began to gear up and prepare for the next bidding.
Seeing this scene, many treasure diggers smiled bitterly and cursed secretly.
What a bastard! Isn't this needless to increase the opponent and difficulty? It's stupid!
Only White and Phillip understood that Steven was digging a hole again! The scene was all too familiar, they had all seen it in New York.
Every time Steven seems to lose his mind, he is always the one who has the last laugh and makes a lot of money, and the opponent either falls into the pit or becomes a tool used by him and is deceived!
Thinking of this, they couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for these gold diggers in front of them, a bunch of poor idiots!
Then they revisited the two warehouses, what was the value of them? Is there really gold? It was worth Steven to plan such a good show!
"Bastard, make a fortune here, don't even think about it!"
Dustin cursed angrily, this kid didn't have a lot of brains and was about to burn out.
After cursing, he immediately took the price Powell had offered.
"$11,000, me!"
This kind of sparkling competition scene, Powell is certainly happy to see it come to fruition.
He can't wait for everyone to lose their reason and start a crazy bidding, so that he can earn more commissions, as long as he doesn't start a shootout and interrupts the auction!
Without a moment's hesitation, he immediately reached out and pointed at Dustin and shouted a new price.
Gold diggers are much easier to deal with than treasure diggers!
Ye Tian secretly smiled smugly and raised the price sharply again.
"$15,000, Powell"
After shouting the price, he looked at Dustin and the rest of the gold diggers again, his eyes still full of provocation.
The competition is getting fiercer!
Dustin immediately responded to the provocation.
Soon after, many treasure diggers and gold diggers joined the competition, and a gold mine owner joined in.
Ye Tian's bids and provocations have been continuous, each time he raises the price sharply, and then provokes the gold diggers with words and eyes.
The effect is very obvious, and the price of the warehouse has soared rapidly under the competition between him and many gold diggers.
In the blink of an eye, the quote has reached a high of $55,000.
The treasure diggers began to withdraw from the competition en masse, with regret and anger.
Most of the quitters have bottomed out and are unsustainable!
Everyone generally has tens of thousands of dollars, and there are very few more than 100,000 dollars, one is not necessarily so rich, and the other is not safe.
Although there are also some treasure diggers who have rich wallets and are far from the maximum price limit, the current bidding scene has lost its rationality and has not made much profit, so they have also lost the desire to continue to compete.
The main reason is that they have not found any shadow or sign of gold at all, which is the fundamental purpose of everyone's trip.
Machinery and equipment can be encountered in many places, so why bother filming in Alaska? If you get entangled in these things and get stuck here, it will be worth the loss!
Philip and White also pulled out of the bid, each with $50,000 on them, and they were not competitive at all.
There are only three treasure diggers left, Ye Tian, a Los Angeles buddy, and one from Vancouver.
There are five gold diggers, one gold mine owner and four gold diggers.
Except for Ye Tian, who was still calm, the faces of the rest of the people were not very good-looking.
Especially Dustin and the other three gold diggers, their faces were extremely pale.
Seeing the change in their expressions, Ye Tian immediately smiled and said:
"Dustin, why is your face so ugly? It can't be that your pocket has bottomed out, right? It seems that I was not wrong, you are a poor northern ghost! Withdraw from the competition, I will leave with the wealth of Alaska!"
Of course, Ye Tian understood the depth of his opponent's pockets, and he had already seen through it.
To be honest, he was very surprised to see Dustin carrying more than $50,000 in cash.
Ordinary miners simply don't have so much cash, this is their salary for a year, how can they carry it casually.
Dustin should have come with a mission today, to shoot equipment for the gold mine where he was located, and many of the gold diggers present were probably the same.
Ye Tian's expectation was right, Dustin was indeed participating in the auction on behalf of the gold mine.
The more than 50,000 dollars in the bag are all owned by the boss, and no more than 200 are really their own.
The offer has gone beyond the cash in his pocket, and that hateful New York bastard is still provoking, how can he continue?
Dustin's face was very ugly, and he pondered how to deal with it.
These two warehouses not only have the equipment and parts needed by the gold mine, but they can also make a lot of money when they are auctioned, so I am really unwilling to give up like this!
In response to Ye Tian's verbal provocation, Dustin did not fight back for the first time, but returned a raised middle finger.
"Hahaha"
Ye Tian smiled, and didn't bother to deal with this opponent anymore.
In his heart, he also hopes that Dustin will continue to hold on for a few rounds, so that he can cooperate with himself to clean up some more competitors and further clear the way.
But unfortunately, this price is already the limit of Dustin, and if he can't think of another way, he has to withdraw from the competition.
I hope he can find a way to continue to act with him.
These thoughts flashed through his mind, and Ye Tian immediately turned his attention to the rest of the competitors.
Bidding continues, and prices continue to rise rapidly.
For $62,000, the Los Angeles buddies withdrew, the gold mine owners withdrew from the competition, and a gold digger also lost.
At this moment, Dustin's eyes suddenly lit up, and he seemed to have found a solution.
After glaring at Ye Tian fiercely, he immediately walked towards another gold digger who was struggling to persevere.
"Barry, my pocket has bottomed out, I guess you're almost done, since we both have our eyes on these two warehouses, let's just work together and defeat that rich New York bastard.
We are dealing with machinery every day, and we know the value here, as long as it is controlled within 100,000 US dollars, then there will be a profit, and we will share the benefits according to the proportion of capital invested in the warehouse.
In addition to taking the machinery and accessories that we need, we can sell the rest of the things, and I believe that you and my boss can accept this and will not blame us."
Barry was moved, he really took a fancy to some of the machinery in the warehouse, and he was reluctant to give up.
At present, the competition is so fierce, and the pocket is indeed at the limit, it seems that there is only one way to cooperate to photograph these two warehouses.
After a moment's thought, he immediately nodded in agreement.
"We can cooperate, but one thing I want to make clear, this is business, if it is not profitable in the end, I will terminate the cooperation and withdraw from the competition, understand?"
"Of course I understand, this is not our own money, it is the boss's, we can't afford to lose, if the limit price is exceeded, I will withdraw from the competition!"
Dustin replied excitedly, and the two shook hands and reached a cooperation agreement.
