1628. Self-awareness
The auction began, and Li Du, as a school representative, brought the group leaders to participate in the bidding.
Li Du said: "Now we have to have an estimate of the warehouse. What we find now is a box that looks like a cigar box. But we can't guess exactly what it is and what it is inside, so we have to have an estimated price..."
A treasure picker stared at him, Li Du smiled, and then he waved the children to his side and whispered to discuss.
The auctioneer wearing white gloves stood at the door of the warehouse and started shouting: "Okay, please gather around me, children, don't worry, everyone come here, don't crowd, okay, I want to quote, the starting price, everyone knows that it starts at 150 yuan..."
Li Du nodded, and a blond girl raised her hand happily and shouted, "One hundred and fifty!"
There are not many bidding competitors. There were less than thirty treasure pickers participating in this auction. Except for those who later saw students leaving here for activities, there are only twenty-four or five left.
The price of 150 yuan is not high, and there is a treasure picker who follows the price: "Two hundred yuan."
"I'm two hundred and fifty."
"Three hundred yuan."
"Four hundred yuan!"
"Look at here, five hundred yuan!"
Hearing the continuous offer, Li Du shook his head repeatedly, and he wondered: "What's in this warehouse? So many people are interested in it? Five hundred yuan? It's too high!"
He shook his head and walked to the next warehouse. At this time, another child raised his hand and shouted excitedly: "Six hundred yuan, I will pay six hundred yuan!"
Li Du was startled and turned around and said, "Didn't you agree? Our reserve price is 300 yuan."
The child smiled and said, "But I want to quote. I have money. My father will give me a thousand yuan in pocket money every week, and I have saved up all of it."
The treasure picker next to him immediately showed an envious expression when he heard this: "Dog shit, he is worthy of being a student of Fangquan Valley Church School, his family is really rich."
For adults, living expenses of 1,000 yuan per week are also a lot.
Li Du shook his head helplessly. When the treasure pickers heard his previous words, they gave up the idea of continuing to bid.
The reason why they bid continuously was related to Li Du's previous interest in boxes in the warehouse. The remaining treasure pickers knew Li Du's reputation.
The auctioneer shouted three times, then clapped his hands and said, "OK, this guy is bidding for 600 yuan, and now this warehouse belongs to him!"
The boy jumped up and cheered, Li Du winked at him, and he giggled and returned with his eyes.
The treasure picker nearby noticed their small moves. The young man who had previously challenged his status said, "I'm so proud to buy a warehouse beyond the base price?"
Li Du asked back: "Who said it exceeded the base price?"
The boy laughed and said, "You guys have fallen into the trap!"
Later, he continued to visit and auction. Several warehouses were taken down by the children in a row. Li Du shook his head helplessly. These were all worthless warehouses. The children took them down just to enjoy it.
In addition, for these children, it is really not a problem to pay a few hundred yuan. They bid together in a group, and each child has several thousand yuan in pocket money, and the amount accumulated is terrible.
The other treasure pickers worked hard to increase the price, and then they took two warehouses. Finally, they opened one warehouse. The treasure pickers' eyes lit up. The warehouses were arranged neatly, with several cabinets, with watches and some decorations hanging inside, which looked a bit valuable.
This warehouse is the finale, with a high reserve price than before, and it costs 1,000 yuan.
The treasure-picking people quickly bid and launched a tough battle around this warehouse:
"One thousand five hundred yuan, this warehouse belongs to mine!"
"You want to take it down? Have you asked me? Two thousand dollars!"
"Get out of the way, I'll pay three thousand dollars!"
"Fake, five thousand dollars, who will come?!"
The price rose quickly, and the children's competitive spirit was picked up. Victoria shouted: "I will pay 6,000 yuan, and our group will pay 6,000 yuan!"
Some treasure picker wanted to shout for a price, and Irina next to her spoke faster: "What's the point of 6,000 yuan? I have money, we'll pay 7,000 yuan!"
"Seven thousand yuan? Ha, it's so amazing. Then we also offer it, seven thousand five hundred yuan!"
"Hehe, Goroner, you stingy bastard, what's the point of adding 500 yuan? Our group paid 8,000 yuan!"
Li Du was stunned. When he heard this, he quickly raised his hand: "Don't do it randomly, who told you to bid like this? Didn't I tell you everything to listen to me?"
The situation was no longer something he could control. The boy named Goroner pushed him away and shouted to the child who was bidding behind him: "Hey, you are also a stingy person. Have you added 500 yuan?"
The child who paid 8,000 yuan was stunned. He seemed to be poor in mathematics and asked the people around him, "Did I add 500 yuan?"
The person next to him shouted, "Then we will claim 10,000 yuan! Isn't we added 500 yuan now?"
Li Du was a little angry and asked, "Do you have that much money? This is 10,000 yuan!"
"Yes, our group has prepared a lot of money this time." The child who quoted the price patted his small schoolbag like a show-off.
Victoria shouted unconvincedly: "We have a lot of money, we will pay..."
Li Du pointed at her and said sternly: "Victoria, you are not allowed to do anything randomly. Where did you get so much money? Did Godzilla secretly give you money on my back?"
The little girl stuck out her tongue and hid in the crowd with her little schoolbag.
The other children were still ready to move, and Li Du pointed at them one by one and said, "Don't you listen to the teacher? Haven't I told you? The limit price of this warehouse is 5,000 yuan! 5,000 yuan! You pay me 10,000 yuan?!"
A teacher looked at White Gloves urgently and said, "Sir, can the children's quotations be withdrawn?"
White gloves are a bit embarrassed. According to the rules, in the warehousing and auction industry, they must be priced, and no one can recover the price.
Several treasure pickers were happy, and some people said gloatingly: "You are participating in the auction in the name of Li in China, haha, if you withdraw your offer..."
Li Du waved calmly and said, "Continue the auction, it's okay, the auction is not over yet."
Speaking of this, he glared at several children and said, "Everyone has his mouth covered, no one is allowed to offer it!"
The children covered their mouths helplessly, and the scene looked a bit lively.
The young man in black jacket smiled and said, "This auction is over, who will pay more than 10,000 yuan?"
Sure enough, the auctioneer continued to shout for the price, but no one followed up, and the warehouse was taken down by the children.
The young man in black jacket applauded and smiled at Li Du: "Congratulations, Mr. Li."
Li Du smiled, his smile was very bright. He responded to the young man in black jacket while slapped the children, "Thank you, this is indeed a good warehouse."
Seeing this scene, especially when the children cheered, a treasure picker wondered: "What's going on?"
Oli hugged his arms and sneered, "What else can happen? The children snatched the warehouse from you. You can't even win the children. You still want to challenge Li? Overestimate your ability!"
