Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 258
Regarding the excavation work of the Viking female warrior's tomb, Liang En felt that one of the most regrettable things was not being able to obtain any cards.After all, the contents inside did not belong to him, and this discovery did not leave traces in history like previous discoveries.

Therefore, judging from the rules he explored before, it is very normal that he did not get any cards in this search. After all, according to the rules itself, there is no guarantee that every treasure hunt will be able to get cards.

After completing these tasks, the Chinese New Year is coming. After attending the New Year's gathering held by the Chinese Embassy, ​​Liang En, Joan of Arc, Fan Meng and Pierce flew to the United States.

This trip to the United States was related to the materials sold last time. Liang En felt that relying on his own ability, he should be able to catch clues that others hadn't noticed or couldn't use at all, and then find those missing cultural relics.

However, considering some future arrangements, Liang En did not intend to go to the United States to search for the disappeared cultural relics, so after searching a series of information, he decided to come here under the pretext of participating in the warehouse auction.

Although the outside world often thinks that Liang En is a scholar of history, he is actually a treasure hunter, so it is very normal to participate in this kind of auction.

Fortunately for Liang En, New York happens to be a hot season for warehouse auctions at this time, and as the largest port on the east coast, there will be a large number of warehouses auctioned here.

Since their target was Pennsylvania this time, the excuse of going to New York to participate in the auction just happened to get him as close to the target as possible.

In fact, at the beginning, Liang En only planned to bring Joan of Arc and Fan Meng together, but when Pierce learned that they were going to participate in the warehouse auction in New York, he also decided to come together to buy goods for the store.

Considering that they really planned to participate in some warehouse auctions in order to cover up the real action, Liang En felt that Pierce followed at this time just to be able to deal with some matters related to the auction.

For example, if something is really found at the auction, then if Pierce is around, he can clean up those things smoothly through his relationship without selling the loot cheaply.

"There are still too few hotels that allow pets to stay." After staying in a hotel in the suburbs of New York, Liang En muttered softly while carrying a cage with ravens on it.

Considering that there might be a large-scale search this time, he brought his own ravens. Unfortunately, if you don't consider a few top hotels, you can only stay in some remote hotels with them.

Fortunately, although this hotel is a bit far from the center of New York, the overall security around it is very good, and the interior decoration is also good, so it is considered a good place.

"What should we do first?" Joan asked after watching Liang En stuff each of the three cages on the side with a few shiny imitation jewelry bracelets he bought from France last time.

"This is the information about the local warehouse auction in the last week that I got from Mr. Bruce. Let's see which one is better to choose tomorrow." Liang En said, took out the tablet computer from the suitcase, and called out A bunch of information.

"Can we go to all these places, for example, to each of the three auctions the day after tomorrow." Fan Meng said after carefully looking at the timetable.

"For example, some of these auctions start in the morning, some in the afternoon, and some at noon. I think the distance between these three points is very short, enough for us to have time to catch up with each auction."

"It's impossible." Liang En said with a smile. "You know, what we have to do in these auctions is not just to buy the things inside, but also to clean up the inside of the warehouse, so that it would be nice to run through one house in one day."

In many western countries, you need to pay extra to dispose of garbage, especially some oversized garbage.Therefore, in order to save money, many people simply rent a warehouse for a short period of time and throw garbage into it.

Therefore, in this type of warehouse auction, the probability of finding garbage is at least [-]%, and there is only a small possibility of finding something of value.

One of the important reasons why the warehouse will hold this expired warehouse auction is to find a group of people to help them clean up the garbage for free.

Therefore, according to the regulations, those who participate in the auction and buy the warehouse must clean up the warehouse, otherwise they will be blacklisted and will be rejected by any warehouse auction.

Although Liang En and the others participated in the warehouse auction this time only as a cover for their real plan, as professionals, they obviously didn't want to leave a bad impression on others, so they naturally had to clean the room.

In this way, it is good enough to complete the auction of one place in a day, so when faced with multiple options, it is natural to choose in advance.

"It's best to rule out the one in Queens first." Liang En was the first to cross out this place on the map that drew the location of the giant warehouse auction.

"The location of this warehouse happens to be in the most chaotic place in Queens, where the unemployment rate is the highest, so there is a high probability that the warehouse is full of garbage or dirt, and we don't need to trouble ourselves."

"That's right, so the warehouse in Harlem can also be ruled out." Pierce nodded. "Harlem is known to be a diverse area, and the neighborhood where the warehouse is located is equally chaotic."

"In other words, the only option we have next is this warehouse in Newark, southwest of New York, right?" Fan Meng said after glancing at the map.

Newark is actually a city in New Jersey, but it is also a part of Greater New York. It is only 14km away from Manhattan and is an important outer port of New York.

Ports naturally have a large number of warehouses for storing all kinds of objects, and this auction is a warehouse attached to the port, which is one of a series of warehouses established during World War II.

The reason why this large-scale auction will be held is because the port has decided to demolish all the old warehouses located in the core area of ​​the port area to build new warehouses, so the warehouses need to be vacated in advance.

After determining the target, the three of them drove a rented car to the warehouse early the next morning to check the value.

"The warehouse from World War II to the present sounds like it has been around for a long time." Fan Meng said a little excitedly on the road, "Do you think there will be any good things in it?"

"It's unlikely, because this warehouse has been in use before, so the things inside have been circulating, and it may not be much different from the outer warehouse." Pierce said with considerable experience.

"However, because this time there is a big cleanup, considering that it is too late to release more than 60 warehouses for auction one by one in two consecutive days, so the auction will be auctioned with a hidden bid."

The hidden bid auction of the warehouse auction is similar to the hidden bid auction of other industries, that is, some double-page papers with pre-printed seam seals will be sent to everyone as vouchers.

Then everyone read the warehouse and was willing to bid, so they wrote their bids on the paper, divided the paper into two according to the pre-divided marks, and handed one of them to the auctioneer.The auctioneer stamps the warehouse number with a roller stamp.

After viewing all the warehouses on the day, the auctioneer will sum up all the bids for each warehouse, and whoever bids the highest will own the warehouse.

"Then what if multiple people bid the same price?" After listening to Pierce's explanation, Joan suddenly asked like a curious baby.

"This kind of situation is rare, so if it does happen, the auctioneer will call several bidders together to hold a small auction, and whoever bids the highest will go to whoever."

After arriving in the warehouse area, they learned from the notice posted on the warehouse wall that there are 62 warehouses in this warehouse auction, and they will all be auctioned in one day.

In addition, a $500 deposit is required to participate in the auction.This deposit is returned to everyone at the end of the auction regardless of whether the item was paid for or not, but will be forfeited by the organizer if the bid is not paid.
