Chapter 2 Long experience!

Early the next morning, Zhu Yu cooked porridge and fried two vegetables, cleaned up after eating, and went to the edge of the port.

There are many large and small freight yard owners in the port area.

From John yesterday, Zhu Yu knew that James, a small freight forwarder, was going to auction off four containers today.

James's freight yard is located in the corner of the port area. It is inconspicuous, and the traffic is not very convenient. Those who rent containers here are basically not considered rich.

Zhu Yu also came here this time to try his hand - after all, in the bustling freight yard in the port area, most of the auctioned containers store some popular commodities, and Zhu Yu couldn't afford the tens of thousands of dollars of auctioned goods.

When he got to the freight yard, seeing a dozen or so people who had already arrived here, Zhu Yu's heart skipped a beat!
These treasure hunters are really ruthless!

I saw a few celebrities in the treasure hunters, such as Madden, Diana, the black Joey brothers, etc., these are all in the port area, the big names in the treasure hunters!
I often hear that they have sold containers for tens of thousands of dollars, earning tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars a month.

How could such a person come here to hunt for treasure?
Seeing Zhu Yu coming, several regular customers in the bar greeted with smiles:

"Hey, Zhu, are you here to watch the fun, or are you going to take a gamble?"

"I heard from Old John that this Huaxia kid also wants to gamble on his luck."

"When we get here, it depends on our own luck!"

Madden with a good attitude said to Zhu Yu:
"Then good luck to you!"

Zhu Yu said thank you.

This Madden looks very polite, but according to John, he is the most affluent of these people.

John also warned Zhu Yu that if he came to take pictures of the containers, he must not let others, especially this Madden, see what he was thinking.

Otherwise, you will definitely be intercepted!
Zhu Yu mixed into the crowd, saying hello and looking at the four containers that had been hoisted on the open space.

The auction hadn't started yet, and all four containers were locked.

Zhu Yu walked up to him, seemingly unintentionally "scanning" the first container.

Inside the container were some old furniture, some tin cans, and an old box.

According to the experience I got from John, old furniture is worthless, and the things in the tin box are invisible to most people, but Zhu Yu can see that there are some old packing bags inside.

In the old box, there are some game controllers, old records and other things.

It all doesn't add up to a hundred dollars.

He closed his eyes immediately, and then looked at the second container.

There is an old piano at the door of the second container.There are several standard boxes inside, which are full of musical instruments.

Zhu Yu simply glanced over, this container is an "open door" and cannot bet on it.

Eyes closed, dizzy.rest for a bit.

The black Joey brothers next to him joked about Zhu Yu:
"Huaxia boy, your body still needs exercise, you have to learn from us!"

Zhu Yu smiled and said nothing.

I said in my heart that if we really want to fight, the two of you together will not be one!

The third container contained several boxes of old clothes and a broken suitcase. A table was placed at the door to block the view, and there was a pile of old clothes on the table.

The point was the suitcase. Zhu Yu glanced at it, and there was an antique typewriter inside.

This thing is worth some money!
Zhu Yu immediately looked back, he felt a little dizzy.

At this time, the owner of the freight yard had already arrived, but the auctioneer hadn't arrived yet, so he had to wait for a while.

Zhu Yu rested for a while, looking at the fourth container.

Inside the fourth container were more than a dozen cardboard boxes neatly arranged. Zhu Yu glanced at it, and there was printing paper inside!

There seemed to be a machine or something in the box at the back, but Zhu Yu couldn't see clearly anymore!
His dizziness became worse, and he had no choice but to withdraw his eyes!
Must take a break!

At this time, the auctioneer arrived.

Zhu Yu had seen this auctioneer before, he was about 40 years old, bald, wearing a jacket, usually relatively silent in bars.

But at the time of auction, it was very eye-catching!
The yard owner said a few words hastily:
"These containers are leased by others when they expire. Some of the owners are farmers and some are businessmen. I hope you can make a fortune here!"

After speaking, signal the assistant to start.

The assistant took large pliers and unscrewed the lock of the first container.

The container opens to reveal the old furniture inside.

The onlookers immediately came to watch, but they could not cross the line.

After looking around, the auctioneer immediately began to stand in front of the container, raising his hand:
"The starting price is fifty dollars, fifty dollars... good! Sixty... one hundred... one hundred..."

He speaks very fast, but expresses very clearly!

As long as someone raises the price, the number in his mouth will immediately start to change, and his hand will point to the person who raised the price.

While resting, Zhu Yu listened to the auctioneer shouting the price, and was a little surprised how he kept the same tone from the beginning to the end and couldn't even catch his breath!
This auctioneer is not easy!

Zhu Yu also offered a symbolic one hundred dollars, but after being overtaken, he stopped bidding.

There were not many bidders.

Soon, the container was taken by the black Joey brothers for two hundred dollars.

Everyone else was laughing, some congratulated Joey, and some made sarcastic remarks.

The second container was opened, and Brother Joey didn't look at his own container, obviously planning to take continuous pictures.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw the old piano, and the voices of the onlookers immediately became enthusiastic.

The auctioneer was also very happy. After everyone had seen it, he immediately shouted:

"The starting bid is [-] US dollars, and the price increase for each auction must not be less than [-] US dollars!"

"One thousand dollars!" Madden was the first to bid!
"Two thousand dollars!" Diana followed closely behind.

"Twenty-five hundred dollars!" Zhu Yu followed suit.

However, his price was quickly surpassed, and within a minute, the bid for this container reached 1 US dollars!
Everyone knows that although those musical instruments are second-hand, they are still worth some money!

In the end, the container was bought by Matt for $[-].

Matt had a smirk on his face.

Next, is the third container.

The auctioneer started the bidding at $25 this time, and each time the price was increased by no less than $25.

Because the old table at the door blocked it, I couldn't see clearly inside.

But sharp-eyed people still saw the old clothes exposed from the box inside.

The auctioneer also knows this, so the starting price is not high.

But even so, not many people participated in the auction.

Diana called once and raised it to fifty dollars.

Then Zhu Yu raised the price once, to $75.

Zhu Yu's performance was not eye-catching, no one noticed.

Madden raised the price once to a hundred dollars.

Zhu Yu's palms were sweating—he planned to take down the container, but he couldn't be too obvious.

Seeing that no one raised the price, he added it to 120 dollars with a slightly nervous voice.

The auctioneer looked at him with strange eyes - he had seen him several times at the auction site, but he had never seen Zhu Yu take an auction.

But this time, I'm afraid this Huaxia kid will lose out!
After Zhu Yu made two bids, no one bid again.

Zhu Yu was a little worried, but he didn't show it.

Diana suddenly asked Zhu Yu:

"Zhu, why do you insist on taking down this container?"

Joey interjected:
"I heard that Chinese people know kung fu and some mysterious things. Can Zhu see that there are treasures in this container?"

After hearing what these two people said, the others all cast their attention.

Zhu Yu wanted to strangle Joey to death!

But he was still very calm on the surface, with a self-deprecating smile:
"I also want to take down the previous container. But I only have more than 1000 US dollars on hand, and I can only look at these containers of little value."

He pointed to Matt, then to Diana, and said:
"As long as you are optimistic about the container, the bid can even reach tens of thousands of dollars. There is no need to compete with us poor people for this little money, right?"

His words successfully attracted the firepower to these big bulls.

After all, most of the dozen or so people are worth a few thousand dollars, so they can't compete with those big guys!
Zhu Yu secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

I hope so, I can get past it!
