Chapter 86 Second Auction (First Order Request)

There was nothing interesting to see at the back, just junk and garbage. Lin Yuan was too lazy to do it himself, so he asked Henry and Paul if there were any workers who specialized in this.

It is better to hire workers.

Paul nodded, indicating that there must be professional cleaners, but the labor cost might be a bit expensive.

Don’t complain, labor costs are expensive throughout the United States.

This is also an important reason why the United States has been calling for industrial repatriation but has never succeeded. Industry pursues cheap labor. If your labor is so expensive, who would come to build a factory here?

Aren't you kidding me?
Let’s not talk about those far away, let’s just talk about these dock workers!
There was a strike a while ago! In the end, the negotiation results were astonishing: in the next six years, the workers' wages will increase by 6%, and no automation equipment will be allowed to replace labor in the next ten years.

This is very outrageous.

Henry, as an American, felt sad.

There’s nothing wrong with a salary increase. Who doesn’t want to increase their income?

However, as the world's only superpower and a country that has always been at the forefront of technological development, it actually bans any automated equipment.

Not long ago, they were still laughing at India, where workers at Samsung factories were demanding that their jobs be passed down from generation to generation! While they were enjoying the melon, they didn’t expect that their own country had also had a big one.

It’s really a retribution!

"It's expensive, so let's find someone to do it." Lin Yuan said.

You earn so much, but you still feel bad about the labor cost?

Paul was about to go find someone.

At this time, a Chinese man came out from the crowd and came to negotiate with Lin Yuan, expressing his willingness to pay five thousand dollars to contract the subsequent things.

Now, the container was only turned over about one-third, and two treasures were found.

"I'll offer $6000." An Zhui immediately raised his hand.

He was unwilling to fall behind in this kind of opportunity. After all, he had just suffered a big loss and had to make up for it.

"7000 USD!"

Holy crap! A spontaneous auction?
Lin Yuan hasn't even said anything yet! You guys are already bidding.

However, Lin Yuan did not refuse. He did not have to pay someone to clean it up, and he could get paid for it, so why not? He checked the remaining items with a treasure-hunting instrument, and found nothing valuable.

"Hey! Bro, I'll give you $8000."

……

The auctioneers of the container never expected that this inconspicuous container would first yield two treasures worth millions of dollars, and then be auctioned a second time, with the second auction price being even higher than the first.

This is unprecedented in the history of container auctions.

To be honest, even the auctioneers regretted it.

If they had known this earlier, they would have opened the container themselves!

"$18000."

Eventually, the container was taken away.

The person who won the bid was the same person who almost bought it for $3200. Now, he actually spent $ to buy back this "second-hand" container.

It's quite ironic, and even a little sad.

However, no one at the scene laughed at him. If another treasure was found later, the one who laughed at him now would become a clown.

The man gave Lin Yuan the money and started to get ready.

"Let's go!" Lin Yuan said.

Then they headed to the next container.

"Don't you want to take a look?"

"What are you still looking at? If there are more treasures, wouldn't you be making things difficult for yourself?" said my uncle.

In fact, he doesn't recommend selling it.

They didn't need the $10,000 or $20,000, so why should they give people a chance to make money? If they didn't find the treasure later, they wouldn't have the $10,000. Qiao Yufan, Liu Xin and the others nodded.

It's really not good to stay here.

If the back was full of garbage, the guy who spent $18,000 would think they were staying here to watch the joke! Americans who are angry and embarrassed can do anything.

And if there are treasures behind, they will indeed feel uncomfortable.

Just ignore it!

The group followed the auctioneer to the next container.

Lin Yuan and his team did not participate in the subsequent containers.

The guy who spent more than 10,000 US dollars to buy Lin Yuan's "leftovers" finally finished cleaning up. As expected, the harvest was meager, and he lost at least 10,000 US dollars, and his face turned black.

Those who originally wanted to take over all breathed a sigh of relief, glad that they didn't take the photo.

"Brother Lin, you're awesome!" Li Qiu Shui praised.

Just then, Boss Lei finally arrived with his men.

"Where is the treasure?" He went straight to the point.

Uncle: "The Jun porcelain flowerpot is still in the car. I'll take you to see it later. The tri-color horse is here."

As he spoke, my uncle carefully placed the tri-colored horse statue on the ground.

This is the rule.

It is best not to pass valuable and fragile items from hand to hand. If they fall, you won’t know who will be responsible.

Boss Lei was overjoyed. While putting on his gloves, he introduced Lin Yuan and the others: "This is Boss Fang from Shanghai. He is very interested in your Jun porcelain flowerpot."

"Hello, Boss Fang!" Lin Yuan and others greeted him.

Boss Fang's presentation was quite sophisticated and refined, worthy of being a Shanghainese. He smiled and shook hands with everyone, without saying much, perhaps because he was unfamiliar with them, or perhaps because he felt there was no need to interact with them.

Lin Yuan didn't care about it and didn't want to curry favor with anyone.

With a golden finger, he doesn't need to curry favor with anyone, and wealth and glory are not difficult for him.

While appraising, Boss Lei told Lin Yuan: "Among the three-color horses of the Tang Dynasty, the most valuable ones are the three-color horses. However, there are several types of three-color horses, such as running horses, horse figurines with legs raised, horsemen figurines, horse-drawn cart figurines, and standing horses.

The one you have is a standing horse figurine, the most common type. A three-color horse with four legs standing upright on a rectangular base, but there are also many fine products among the three-color standing horses.

This standing horse figurine is one of the best and is very good.”

The Galloping Horse Terracotta is very precious. The sculptor captured the moment when the four hooves of the galloping horse were in the air, and created a very dynamic three-color horse. This kind of three-color horse is extremely rare, and there is only one in the world.

The Tang Dynasty tri-color horse figurines with raised legs usually have three hooves on the ground and the right front hoof raised. This kind of tri-color horse is also quite valuable.

Human figurines on horseback are an important type of Tang Sancai horse, and horse-drawn chariot figurines are also quite rare.

After careful appraisal, Boss Lei determined that this was a genuine product and offered a price of $120 million.

"If it's put up for auction, it might go even higher." Boss Lei told the truth.

Lin Yuan nodded and sold it to Boss Lei for $1.2 million.

As for the pair of jade belt hooks, Boss Lei also wanted to get them, but my uncle said, "Boss Lei, these are reserved by Uncle De, I'm sorry!"

The Chinese antiques circle in California is very small, so Boss Lei naturally knows Uncle De.

Since Uncle De had taken a fancy to it, he couldn't continue to rob it. If he could get a fine tri-color horse, his trip would not be in vain.

"Okay! Let's go look at the flower pots then!"

Lin Yuan: "Uncle, can you take Boss Lei, Boss Fang and the others to see it? We won't follow them."

As for the specific price, Lin Yuan believed that his uncle was more suitable to negotiate the price than him.

"That's fine." Uncle nodded.
