Pick up bargains in Chinatown and make 10,000 times the profit at the beginning

Chapter 87 Being targeted
Lin Yuan and the others continued to follow to the next container. Before the door was opened, and even before the "auctioneer" introduced it, Lin Yuan had already confirmed that there was "goods" in the container.

Several green lights appeared on the treasure hunting instrument, but none of them were very bright.

Then the auctioneer began to talk non-stop.

Where did this container come from and how did it get here? The owner got into trouble and went to jail, so no one came to claim the container and it has exceeded the deadline.

At their US terminals, the port has the right to deal with containers that are not removed within the deadline.

Of course, if you have paid the storage fee, that's another matter. If you haven't paid, then I'm sorry.

The door of the container was opened, and what came into view were some daily necessities, tables and chairs, clothes, books, etc., all of which were Japanese style, as if someone was moving.

For a time, many people lost interest.

These people think that when moving, valuable items should not be loaded into containers and shipped by sea.

Of course, some people are very interested. In their opinion, this may be a way to immigrate to the United States for a simple life. Those who can immigrate must have some family background, right?
Lin Yuan said to Henry, “You can take a picture of this container for fun.”

After receiving Lin Yuan's instructions, Henry immediately became excited and was ready to do something big.

After two minutes, the bidding began with a starting price of $2000.

There were still people bidding, about seven or eight in total including Henry.

On Lin Yuan's side, Henry took action and the others just stood still. This was their tacit understanding.

"2200"

"2300"

"2500"

……

The price went up very quickly, but it was basically in increments of one or two hundred yuan, which was considered normal and affordable for ordinary people. It was not like those auctions where hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions of yuan were spent, which was not something that ordinary people could afford.

When the price rose to 5000 US dollars, Henry glanced at Lin Yuan, and seeing Lin Yuan nod slightly, he raised the price again.

"5300 USD!"

Now, there are only two people left who are still struggling whether to follow or not, a white uncle, wearing a hat, with sunken eye sockets, tall and thin.

This man is called Jim, and he is a frequent visitor to container auctions. He has a lot of experience and is sure that there is something valuable in this container, but he is not sure how much it is worth.

So, Jim is now considering whether to continue following.

The other one was a fat black man, whose arms were thicker than other people's thighs.

Don't think he is simple-minded just because he has strong limbs. When he plays this game, he basically doesn't look at the container, he looks at the person. If he thinks you are capable, then he just needs to intercept the container you are interested in.

It is precisely this problem that makes him unpopular, and many regular customers of container auctions dislike him.

Now, he felt that Lin Yuan and his group were both capable and lucky, so he decided to snatch the container that the group was interested in.

"5400 US dollars!" the fat black man said.

This is a bit disgusting.

Every time I get $100 more than others.

Henry frowned: “6000 dollars!”

"6100 US dollars!" The fat black man added 100 US dollars without hesitation.

Well! Henry understood that the fat black man was against him.

Lin Yuan whispered, "Add, don't be afraid until I say stop."

With Lin Yuan's words, Henry calmed down. However, he had a little hostility towards the black fat man. It was damned to make him spend more money. "7000 US dollars!"

The fat black man followed up immediately: "7100 US dollars!"

Jim saw this and immediately withdrew, feeling that there was no point in following. In this situation, it was obvious that he had lost his mind and started a quarrel of wits.

You guys have fun!

"8000 US dollars!" Henry became angry and looked at the fat black man with cold eyes.

The fat black man didn't take Henry's look seriously at all. He continued to do his own thing and added another $100.

The auctioneer is very happy to see this situation, and they want you to argue until you are red in the face. If everyone is in harmony and polite to each other, they will not even bother to bid! You can just negotiate a price and settle it.

"Ten thousand dollars." Henry clenched his fists.

You can see that he is very annoyed now.

If he had the truth in his hands, he would probably have started to shoot people.

The fat black man was still the same, adding another $100 in a very disgusting way.

It lasted until $30,000, when the fat black man finally stopped, spread his hands, and gave up. He was not stupid. Even if there were valuable treasures in the container, he would not make much money, and the possibility of losing money was greater.

After all, not every container can turn out two treasures worth millions of dollars like the one Lin Yuan photographed earlier.

That kind of container is one in a million and may not appear once a month.

Although Henry successfully won the bid, he was not happy and felt unhappy.

Lin Yuan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I'll set a trap for him and make him suffer a little."

After hearing this, Henry nodded and felt better.

They started clearing the containers.

After a while, Henry and his friends saw a wooden box. They dragged it out and opened it, and inside were two copper pots, some copper bowls and a strange copper statue.

Lin Yuan was sure that this was something valuable.

He picked up a copper kettle.

There was someone in the live broadcast room who knew the goods and immediately revealed the details of this copper kettle.

This is a hammered copper utensil for daily life.

It is a tool made by repeatedly hitting a copper plate that has been stretched into a plate shape with a metal hammer or a wooden hammer, and then hammering the copper plate into the desired shape of the vessel.

Its most distinctive feature is that a three-dimensional vessel is made by hand-hammering a whole piece of copper plate, and it has unique colors and a bright luster. It is one of the representatives of traditional handicrafts of daily life.

It is said that the craftsmen were always confident and never prepared design drawings in advance. The size and style of the objects were all in their minds, and the state of hammering the copper sheets was entirely based on feeling.

Since the most important thing about hammered copperware is to carve out the shape from the entire copper plate, it has a natural and simple beauty. In addition, hammered copperware requires the spout and the body of the pot to be integrated.

Therefore, its sealing and thermal balance are better than those of general water containers. It can be said to be a "water drinking beauty" that combines beauty and practicality.

"These are treasures for daily life. This pot should be worth 10,000 or 20,000 US dollars. The bowls and cups are probably worth several thousand dollars." Lin Yuan gave an approximate price.

Henry made back his investment with just two pots, and even made a small profit.

There are five cups and three bowls in it!
Finally, there is the bronze statue. I don’t know which god or monster it is.

The fact that Xiao Ri believes in monsters is known to the whole world and is also bizarre.

In their place, there are many kinds of legends about monsters, which run through the entire history of Xiaori. It can be said that monster culture is an important part of Xiaori culture.
