Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 259 Start

"This is a high-end auction." After reading the notice, Pierce nodded slightly. "Only the very large storage companies charge such deposits when they hold important storage auctions."

Pierce said this, on the one hand, because the party collecting the deposit must have sufficient credibility to allow everyone to pay the money without worrying that the organizer will run away with the money, so the organizer who can meet this requirement does not many.

On the other hand, for most treasure hunters in warehouses, their working capital simply cannot afford a deposit of several hundred dollars, so collecting a deposit can easily keep many treasure hunters out of the auction.

Although it may sound exaggerated not to be able to spend hundreds of dollars in working capital, it is also true. After all, although Laomei is wasteful, she is not stupid, so only a small number of people can really leave valuable things in the warehouse.

According to Pierce, although there are tens of 10 people working in this industry in the United States, most of them are just part-time jobs or hobbyists, and there are not many people who really rely on this industry for a living.

After all, this job is a real zero-threshold job, so many people are easily attracted by these special examples after hearing that someone has made a fortune in this industry.

But the cruel reality often makes the vast majority of novices eliminated in the first year, and even if a small number of people can stay, many of them are just living for food and clothing, and only a small number of people will get satisfactory rewards from it. .

For example, people like Pierce who own thrift stores can make a living because they have more professional skills to find worthwhile goods and sell them through their own channels.

After paying a deposit of 500 US dollars, Liang En and the four of them drove the rented medium-sized truck through the gate and entered the warehouse area, and then drove towards the auction warehouse area along the temporary drawn arrows on the side of the road. past.

Soon, they passed through several rows of internal steel frame structures and external red brick and cement warehouses to their destination, which was five rows of warehouses with the same structure.

Judging from the vehicles parked on both sides of this road, there are indeed some people besides them who plan to step on the spot in advance.However, there are not many such people. It should be that the entry fee of 500 US dollars has stopped many people from the door.

When Liang En and the others got out of the car and walked towards the warehouses that were about to be auctioned, they saw several groups of people studying these warehouses. Some of them were observing the ground and the gate, while others were looking in through the cracks in the door. .

What's interesting is that although there are warehouse management personnel nearby, the management personnel did not come out to stop these people's seemingly illegal practices.

Think about it too, it is already 9 am, and everyone must leave before 12 noon, as long as the door is not opened, you can't see anything from the crack of the door for three hours.

After all, everyone had received a deposit of 500 US dollars before, and now the people participating in the auction may not feel comfortable.So doing this now can just soothe everyone's inner dissatisfaction a little bit.

Regarding the appearance of Liang En and the others, these people at most just took a few more glances before leaving, and the extra glances were mainly focused on the three ravens that Liang En and the others carried with them.

But for these warehouse treasure hunters who traveled far and wide, they had seen all kinds of magical things, so they didn't think there was anything wrong when they saw Liang En who kept crows as pets.

In fact, at the beginning Liang En took these ravens mainly to see if they could find a place like a window to sneak into the room to have a look. It turned out that these ravens were really big. The mouth really can't get in.

Therefore, Liang En could only roughly deduce what these warehouses were mainly used for by observing the warehouses themselves and the various traces around the warehouses like others.

Fortunately, this kind of old dock warehouse has its own habits when placing various items, so by observing those clues, it can be roughly seen what each warehouse mainly stored in the past.

For example, the road outside the door of a warehouse has obvious traces of rolling, and there are also a lot of traces of impact on the door, and there are even traces of paint on the wall.

The combination of these traces shows that this warehouse should have stored various machinery or large steel components in the past, and after looking inside along the crack of the door, I saw some mechanical parts that were not covered by the tarpaulin.

Through this inference, Liang En and the others quickly identified seven targets.Some of these target warehouses seem to have some valuables inside, while others seem to have not been opened for a long time.

After all, Liang En and the others have their own channels, so even some old items that ordinary auctioneers may not be able to make money from can be exchanged for something they need.

For example, in a room that Liang En was looking at, hidden under the thick dust were obviously some old-fashioned furniture, old-fashioned chandeliers, and some tableware or tea sets.

For warehouse treasure hunters, these miscellaneous groceries can only be sold to a few merchants at a very low price if they want to sell them, and they can't make much money overall.

But for Liang En and the others, both Pierce and Liang En himself have enough channels to consume these things in the United States, so they can make money from this kind of auction items that others cannot make.

But Liang En is not sure about every warehouse. For example, there is a warehouse here that is full of many small motors, all of which are wrapped in transparent plastic and placed on shelves.

Considering that the things in it are not of much value to Liang En, so this thing is naturally a matter of setting a reserve price and whether you can buy it later or not.

After tossing and preparing to leave at noon, they hurriedly finished looking at these warehouses in separate actions, and then left here with a tired face.

The next morning, they drove the rented medium truck to the auction again. After releasing the three ravens, they found a place to sit around and have breakfast while waiting for the auction to start.

Soon it was 8:40 in the morning, and when Liang En and the others were getting impatient after breakfast, a few people from the warehouse came over and began to verify everyone's identities.

Soon, two groups of guys trying to fish in troubled waters were discovered. After they refused to pay the deposit, these people drove away from the warehouse area under the surveillance of several big-bodied security guards.

"Okay, everyone is here." The auctioneer raised his wrist and said after looking at his watch. "There are still 5 minutes before the official start, so I can just introduce the details of this auction to everyone."

"We will open the doors of the warehouse one by one, and then everyone will line up to visit the warehouse. Because there are many things to be auctioned today, each group of people cannot exceed 30 seconds."

"After everyone has read it, I will give you 1 minute to fill in the amount. All those who are willing to buy will give me the slip of paper with the amount filled in, and I will stamp it and put it in the box."

"Okay, now that's the end of the specific situation, and now the time is up, let's start the auction." After speaking briefly for 5 minutes, the auctioneer ended his speech under the reminder of his companion and announced the start of the auction .
