Chapter 15
Chapter 15
The next three warehouses are also this type of warehouse that puts all the contents on the surface, and they have all been bought by some local people.
Because compared to outsiders, the warehouse auction prices that put all the items on the bright side are almost transparent, and only locals can make profits from it.
Soon the auction arrived at the warehouses full of boxes and oiled paper bags. At this time, everyone suddenly became cautious.Because compared to the previous auction, the current auction is more like a gamble.
"Okay, this is the fifth warehouse we auctioned today." Finally, half an hour later, it was the turn of the auction that Liang En had paid attention to before.
"The starting bid is still 10000 Euros, and the price is increased by 1000 each time. Does anyone offer 11000 Euros—" Liang En immediately raised his hand to signal, and then the auctioneer pointed at him and said, "Okay, now it is 11000 Euros, is there anyone willing to offer more?" High price?."
Whispering voices came from behind immediately. Obviously, not everyone found the mark during the observation just now, so everyone was hesitant to take a gamble.
"Me!" At this time, the only woman present raised her hand to indicate that she was also a non-native from her accent.
Obviously, it is unacceptable for many outsiders to go back empty-handed after traveling thousands of miles, so naturally some people are willing to take the risk.
"Very good, it's already 12000 Euros now." The middle-aged man who presided over the auction immediately waved his arms and started to stir up the atmosphere. I got excited.
"Okay, now it's 12000 Euros, 12000 Euros, the next bid is 12000 Euros, who is willing to follow?"
"I'll continue to follow." Liang En shouted in a very standard German accent that basically no one usually uses, then shrugged his shoulders rather American and muttered, "It took a day of driving to get here, I don't want to go back with an empty car."
"Then it's 13000 Euros now. 13000 Euros. This is a low price. Who would like to increase it to 13000 Euros?" The auctioneer immediately shouted loudly after Liang En followed up and said that he would continue to follow.
It's just that compared with the previous auctions this time, everyone is obviously much more cautious.Because compared with the previous warehouses, this warehouse can reveal too little information.
Considering that a minimum reserve price of 1 euros is required for a warehouse, everyone will carefully consider before bidding, and at the same time observe the attitudes of the people around them.
In the end, when Liang En raised the auction price of this warehouse to 15000 euros, no one continued to bid.
Because no one knew whether the boxes were empty or full, and the oil-paper packages were too tightly wrapped to see what was inside.
Of course, Liang En's stunned demeanor also frightened many people.Because for everyone, coming to the auction here is to ask for money rather than anger, so they feel that there is no need to fight against a stunned young man like him.
After asking a few more quick questions, the auctioneer who found no one to follow up pointed to Liang En and said, "Okay, now this warehouse belongs to you."
Compared with the previous warehouse with an average price of more than 1 euros, this warehouse can be said to be significantly cheaper.When it was time to pay, Liang En paid 5000 Euros, while Pierce and his son paid the other [-] Euros.
Because Liang En is more optimistic about this warehouse, he naturally pays more to obtain a larger share of future profits.
But in the next warehouse, everyone suddenly became energetic.
Because although this warehouse was also covered with tarpaulins, a corner of one of the tarpaulins was lifted up for some reason, exposing the wooden box underneath.
And these grass-green wooden boxes that look a little mottled on the outside, but look very well preserved on the whole, are obviously some boxes used to transport weapons.
If you consider that the warehouse itself belongs to the army, then you can basically guess the contents of the boxes in these warehouses.
In an instant, the crazy bidding contest began.After making two tentative bids, Liang En and the others were eliminated from the bidding circle.
Because they found that after only a few price calls, the price of the warehouse exceeded their entire budget for this trip.In the end, the warehouse was bought by a seemingly robust local for 63000 euros.
However, the next warehouse passed the auction directly, because the entire warehouse was clean, except for a little thing in the corner covered by canvas, which seemed impossible to be worth 1 euros anyway.
After the auction was over, those who didn't get any pictures drove away cursing.The person who got the item at the auction reversed the car to the door to prepare to load the goods, and blocked the sight of others by the way.
Pushed by Liang En and Pierce, the large iron gate slowly moved sideways along the track, revealing a huge warehouse that looked like an indoor basketball court.
"Okay, take off the lights first." Old Pierce parked the car at the door at this time, and then called two young people to put the LED headlights he prepared earlier from the container behind the car on several commanding heights of the warehouse .
After the lights were placed, Old Pierce pressed the remote control in his hand.In an instant, the entire warehouse was illuminated like daylight.
Everyone standing at the door could clearly see the load-bearing columns and beams of the reinforced concrete structure in the warehouse, as well as the old-looking electric lights on the roof.
On the ground, a lot of dust had accumulated on the cracked concrete floor.After the door was opened, the outside wind blew, and it suddenly rose from the ground and dispersed in the air.
It has to be said that this is good news.Because it is easier to preserve the contents in a dry environment than in a humid environment.
Putting on gas masks and overalls, the three people began to walk inward along the gap, and at the same time opened the oiled paper bags and boxes one by one to check the contents inside.
"Red scarves, blue scarves, red scarves—" After opening more than a dozen oil-paper packages in a row, Liang En found that there was a whole row of brand new, neatly folded red scarves or blue scarves on the shelf.
Looking at the packaging and specific conditions of these scarves, it should be stuffed into this warehouse after they were produced and never used.
"My side is the same. Each box contains ten wooden signs, and each wooden sign has a German letter on it. These should be the placards used by those people to form slogans when they paraded." Pierce's tone was also with frustration.
Indeed, there will always be people willing to collect these things with the characteristics of the times, but in any case, this belongs to a very small collection.But now, Liang En and Pierce found almost equivalent to the annual shipments of the whole of Europe.
These low-value items obviously made everyone feel depressed, but everyone still carefully turned over the oiled paper bags and wooden boxes one by one.
Because according to what Old Pierce said just now, according to his decades of treasure hunting experience, only the boxes used to store some important items will be painted with various badges.
Sure enough, when he turned to the oiled paper package on the second shelf, Liang En discovered something different.
"—This is blue again...wait a minute?" Seeing the blue fabric in the package again, Liang En sighed and prepared to turn it over twice as usual before opening the next oil-paper package, but after flicking his hand, Some golden tassels are exposed.
"I seem to have found some flags, Mr. Murphy." Liang En shouted after unfolding the piece of fabric. "Can I see what these flags are about?"
