Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 280

The rules of this kind of auction are also very simple, all warehouses have a unified reserve price.Those pocket warehouses start at $100 each, and the smaller ones are $150.

Like most warehouse auctions, this one is cash only.The reason for this, Liang En felt, was most likely because the shop owner wanted to play tricks on taxation.

Of course, these behind-the-scenes things have nothing to do with Liang En. After all, he just came to participate in the auction, so he doesn't need to get involved in this aspect.

Las Vegas is a fast-paced city, and so are warehouse auctions here.So seven warehouses were sold shortly after the auction started.

Liang En didn't pay any money for it, because in his opinion, those things are just trash that tourists don't want, and if they buy them, they can indeed make some money.But it was obviously not worthwhile for Liang En and his group of non-locals.

But when the door of the eighth warehouse, No. 57, opened, Liang En's eyes suddenly lit up.Because there were two large plastic boxes in this warehouse, and judging from the traces of dust on the warehouse floor, the plastic boxes should have been dragged in.

In addition, there are some things like women's swimsuits, swimming caps, and life buoys that have been completely shriveled around the box.

"I think there may be diving equipment in the box." After quickly gesturing the size, Liang En said to Pierce, "Both the size and weight are very similar."

"You're right, then let's set the reserve price at 600." Pierce looked at it and nodded in agreement with him, and then gave a price.

Of course, this price is not high. After all, it is not as convenient for them to handle all things as those local snakes, so if the profit margin of the business is not high, they will naturally choose to give up.

Quotations started soon, and in just a few rounds, they broke through the reserve price set by Liang En and the others.After all, except for the tourists who come to experience life, most of the field are professionals, so they can naturally guess what is in the warehouse.

In the next few auctions, Liang En and the others lost two more warehouses that had been favored before.Every time, it was because this group of professional treasure hunters broke through the bottom line they had set before.

"Okay, let's take a look at this warehouse now." Because the auction had already started for nearly an hour, the auctioneer also lost his previous enthusiasm under the sun of the Nevada desert, and just opened the rolling shutter door with some errands. waved.

The warehouse looked empty, except for a thing covered with cloth against the wall, which looked like a small house with a pointed roof.

"Is this a kennel?" Glancing at the ravens that were bouncing around on the roofs of the warehouses around them, Pierce asked in a low voice, looking at what was under the cloth.

"It should be—wait a minute, I seem to have found something else." Liang En was just about to give up the warehouse when something under the drape suddenly caught his attention.

It was a rectangular piece of wood the size of a postage stamp. This piece of wood seemed to be just a piece of garbage that could be seen everywhere, but the bonuses given to Liang En by the card made him observe that there seemed to be a complex structure on the piece of wood.

"I think this thing may have some special value." After thinking about it carefully, Liang En made up his mind and looked at Pierce seriously and said. "So I think we should buy this thing."

"Is it your feeling?" Pierce asked seriously after seeing Liang En's firm expression, and after getting a positive answer, he immediately made a decision to follow Liang En.

After all, experience and luck are equally important in treasure hunting, and Liang En's previous performances have shown that his sixth sense is indeed superior to ordinary people, so he believes in the sixth sense when he is indecisive. It's a good choice.

Maybe it was because everyone thought it should be a kennel, so when Liang En and the others offered $600, no one was willing to keep following the price. storehouse.

But apart from this warehouse, they failed to succeed in the next few other target warehouses, mainly because there were so many professionals among the people who participated in the auction that they couldn't miss them at all.

Of course, the fact that the local warehouses are mainly short-term leased warehouses is also an important reason. As a result, the tenants of the original warehouses seldom cover up the things they store, so that the auctioneer can see what is in the warehouse at a glance. thing.

After another hour, all the auctions were over, and those who didn't buy anything quickly left here, because there were many similar auctions in this city, so they were still in a hurry to rush to the next auction.

Those who were auctioned to the warehouse paid cash to the auction organizer, and then cleaned up the warehouse individually.Perhaps considering the reason that some people in this kind of warehouse would buy several at a time, the cleaning time was delayed from 24 hours to 48 hours.

However, this kind of delay didn't mean much to Liang En and the others. After all, they only photographed one warehouse, and there was only one thing in the warehouse, so it should be able to pack this thing in ten minutes.

Although the city is located on the Gobi Desert in Nevada, because these warehouses have not been rented for a long time, there is not much dust inside.

Opening the door with a key, Liang En rushed into the warehouse with a stride, and immediately picked up the small piece of wood from the floor where he had observed some kind of complex structure.

Putting this piece of wood in front of his eyes, Liang En found that it was spliced ​​together by several small pieces of wood. When he turned the piece of wood over, he was surprised to find that it was a miniature photo frame, and there was a picture frame embedded in the picture frame. An equally tiny landscape oil painting.

"What is this, a toy?" Just when Liang En saw clearly what this piece of wood was, Pierce stepped forward and lifted the cloth covering it.

"Doll's house!" Liang En immediately turned his head when Pierce called out, and happened to see the thing that was hidden under the drape before: a three-story small house with white walls and red tiles.

"What are you talking about?" After hearing what Liang En said, no matter it was Pierce, Fan Meng or Joan of Arc, all had curious expressions on their faces.

"A doll's house is the kind of toy that some children play with when they are young." Liang En pointed to this small house and explained. There was no such thing in those days.

"That is to say, these are children's toys?" Fan Meng looked at the dollhouse with great interest and said, "Have children's toys been made so exquisitely these days?"

The reason why he said this was because when he bent down and looked into the house through the window, he found that the rooms of this small house had the same decorations as the real house, and at the same time, there were a lot of furniture and daily necessities.

In short, this thing looks like a three-story mansion scaled down in proportion.With the level of sophistication of this gadget, it is hard to imagine that this is something for children to play with.

"Actually, this thing has been around since the 16th century." Hearing what Fan Meng said, Liang En smiled and explained. "But at that time, only the royal family and nobles could own toys of this level, which was considered a luxury."
