Chapter 32 Locker Auction

Under the strong insistence of Shen Xingyu and her grandmother, Lin Qingsong had no choice but to exchange the lucky little golden bean they spoke of for a Guanyin jade pendant worth over two hundred thousand yuan.

When they left Shen Xingyu's maternal grandmother's house after lunch, the jade pendant was already securely placed around his neck.

"Sister Yu, how about I return this jade pendant to you?" After going downstairs, Lin Qingsong said, taking off the jade pendant from his neck.

"No, just take it if Grandma tells you to." Shen Xingyu reached out and pressed him down: "Otherwise, you'll be exposed the next time we meet."

"Still acting?" Lin Qingsong thought this was just a one-off performance, but he didn't expect there to be a sequel.

"I can't say for sure either." Shen Xingyu didn't know what would happen to her grandmother.

Judging from the current situation, Lin Qingsong must have a very good impression in his grandmother's mind, otherwise she would not have accepted the little gold bean or given away the jade pendant.

"Alright then, I'll try to make time then." Lin Qingsong touched the jade pendant around his neck and nodded in agreement.

Even if it weren't for the jade pendant, he would still make time for that temporary job.

He has already reached an agreement with Shen Xingyu.

Starting next month, I will give her a consultant position at her company. She won't need to go to the company regularly, and she will receive a monthly after-tax salary of 8888.

After agreeing to meet Shen Xingyu at the next art exhibition, Lin Qingsong returned to his rented room and put the jade pendant away.

Before he could even leave the house, Qin Yan called to arrange a meeting at two o'clock.

He checked the time and found it was still early. He glanced at the information that the system had just displayed.

[Daily Intelligence 06 (Blue): Renyi Chu Jinxiu Road Store is preparing to auction off a batch of expired and unrenewed lockers next Tuesday. Locker number 087 contains two ping-pong paddles, valued at 1500 yuan.]

He set this up a few days ago.

By setting a proxy after the intelligence report, you can set a time for the proxy to remind you.

According to his investigation, the auction for the arbitrary storage will officially begin at 1 p.m. today.

Auctions in China are different from those abroad.

Most people abroad don't like buying houses, so the warehouse rental industry is particularly developed. There are warehouse auctions every day, and even a profession called "warehouse treasure hunter" has emerged.

In China, most people choose to settle down and buy property after they have money, which makes it difficult for warehouse leasing to develop.

They even changed the name of the warehouse company to warehousing.

Because most people only rent a small cabinet to store their things, or at most a large cabinet of about five square meters.

Even so.

Only a few warehousing companies survive in Shanghai.

In this situation, warehouse auctions are not held regularly, and many warehousing companies don't even bother with auctions.

The owner of this warehouse company, Renyi Storage, is a foreigner who has always wanted to bring foreign warehouse culture to China, which is why he regularly holds these warehouse auctions.

Unfortunately, according to Lin Qingsong's investigation, only a few people participate in each warehouse auction. He guessed that the company's boss was about to lose confidence in spreading warehouse culture in China.

However, this has nothing to do with him. He would never get involved in something that is no different from gambling without intelligence. Who knows what kind of things are in the warehouse he bought?

If it's all garbage, he'll have to hire people to clean it up.

One o'clock in the afternoon.

By the time Lin Qingsong arrived at the basement where Ren Yichu was located, the auction had already begun.

A middle-aged white man, wearing a small red hat, was holding a megaphone.
"Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Mike. I am the owner of this company and also the auctioneer for today."

"I believe everyone who's here is familiar with the auction rules." "Of course, there are bound to be newcomers, so I'll just briefly go over the rules again."

"You cannot touch the items. Each person has one minute to view each cabinet. The highest bidder wins. Once you bid, you will have 24-hour ownership of the warehouse."

"At the same time, no matter what's in the warehouse, you must clean it up within 24 hours."

After Mike finished speaking, all seven or eight people who had participated in the auction nodded in agreement.

Those who come to participate in the auction are either influenced by the treasure hunts in overseas warehouses in short videos, or they are elderly people who have participated in several auctions before and can generally understand the rules.

As the first cabinet opened, Lin Qingsong glanced at it casually and then shook his head helplessly.

What's so interesting about this?

The cabinet was only a tiny piece of furniture, yet it was crammed full of four sealed cardboard boxes.

Unless you have X-ray vision, how could you possibly guess what's inside?

Seeing that no one seemed interested in examining the cabinet, Mike said helplessly, "It's obvious there's nothing interesting about it. So, the starting bid is fifty dollars. Anyone interested?"

"I'll bid fifty," a short man said, and no one else made a bid.

After calling out fifty dollars three times, Mike gestured for the man to scan his QR code to receive the money. Only after receiving the money did he hand over the locker key to the man.

After several more cabinets were auctioned off, Lin Qingsong did not speak once.

There was a cabinet with over a dozen pairs of Air Jordans prominently displayed, which were snapped up by everyone.

It was eventually bought by an older man for 50,000 yuan.

If I'm not mistaken, several pairs of Air Jordans there are limited editions.

However, Lin Qingsong guessed that these shoes were likely replicas, since who would keep their good shoes in a warehouse instead of at home?

But this is just speculation. If the shoes are real, the 50,000 yuan could be multiplied several times over.

That uncle also wanted to take a gamble.

After the auction of the AJ cabinet came to an end, the group moved on to another cabinet.

When the microphone was turned on, everyone shook their heads helplessly.

This cabinet is similar to the first one, the only difference being that the first cabinet contained four cardboard boxes, while this cabinet contained two opaque plastic bags.

"Okay, enough chit-chat, this cabinet is still fifty dollars, anyone interested?" Mike called out a few times, but no one answered.

The short man had already opened the four cardboard boxes in the first cabinet, and there was nothing of value inside except some old clothes.

Having learned from past mistakes, everyone has become much more cautious.

After realizing that no one was bidding, Lin Qingsong finally spoke up, "I'll buy it and see."

"Okay." Mike nodded, then announced fifty dollars three times before handing the cabinet key to Lin Qingsong, saying, "After you pay, this cabinet is yours."

After quickly scanning the code, Lin Qingsong walked to the cabinet with a curious expression and opened the plastic bag.

He was also very curious about what was inside.

To be honest, the moment Lin Qingsong opened the plastic bag, he suddenly understood why so many Westerners liked to participate in these warehouse auctions.

Besides making money, there's also a thrill in peeping into other people's privacy.
