Treasure Hunt all over the World

Chapter 41: Community Auction



   At 7:30 in the morning, Ye Tian and Jason left the car rental company and drove the pickup straight to Manhattan.

   "This car is awesome, not inferior to the Raptor at all, I love it!"

   Jason was still reviewing while driving.

   Lao Mei’s love for pickup trucks is almost paranoid. Among the best-selling models in the United States, the first is pickup, the second is pickup, and the third is pickup. The Ford F series has remained at the top of the best-selling model list for thirty consecutive years, and has never wavered!

   In the Midwest, half of the road runs are pickup trucks. This is always the first choice for people to buy a car. Jason from Kentucky is no exception.

   After some comments, Jason asked enthusiastically:

   "Steven, should I buy a car? A treasure hunt in a warehouse can't be done without a car! Not only has to run around, but also load goods."

   Ye Tian nodded and responded:

   “It’s very inconvenient to have no car. It’s really time to buy it. Just a couple of days. But I haven’t decided whether to buy a van or a pickup truck.”

   "Of course it's a pickup truck, this is the car that a man drives, strong, powerful, and strong!"

   Jason immediately gave advice.

   "I prefer vans. This is New York, not the Wild West. Pickup trucks are too arrogant, and vans have better concealment.

   And I am going to install two safes on the car to temporarily store valuable small antiques and artworks. Pickup trucks can’t meet this requirement, but there is no problem with cargo.”

   Ye Tian talked about his thoughts.

   He intends to change the car into a temporary warehouse, which is more convenient for treasure hunting. You can go to multiple places in one day without being **** by one harvest.

   Jason thought for a while, and felt that what Ye Tian said made sense, then nodded and said:

   "OK! You are the boss, you decide!"

  ……

   After a short while, the two arrived at Peter Cooper in Manhattan and drove into the stadium where the community auction was held.

   This is an open-air basketball court located in a corner of the community. There are more than a dozen venues with a relatively large area. It was temporarily requisitioned today and used as an auction site.

   Community auction is the unique community culture of Laomei.

   Residents living in the same community, after negotiation, choose a date, usually on the morning of a summer weekend, and sell the things they don’t use at the garage door.

   The things that are auctioned are generally daily necessities, which are not worth much, but it is better to sell than idle or throw away, so the price is very low.

  Some good things often appear here, antiques and artworks are not uncommon.

   Especially in high-quality communities like Peter Cooper, most of the residents are middle-class people with a little family background, and there are also invisible rich people, and there are young talents on Wall Street who have a good income. There must be a lot of good things.

   The auction will issue an announcement in advance to attract people to come to hunt for treasure. Americans are also very happy to participate in community auctions, and many people are even addicted.

   In addition to ordinary people, professional treasure hunters will not miss this auction. Every auction day, these communities will gather treasure hunters to find opportunities to make money.

   The reason why today's community auction is in the stadium is because this is Manhattan, where every inch of land is very expensive, and it is impossible for every house to have a garage, so the auction was gathered together.

   The auction has already begun, the scene is very lively, the voice is full of people! Many of them are professional treasure hunters, and some are still familiar faces.

   After parking the car, Ye Tian and Jason walked into the auction house quickly.

   Ye Tian's appearance immediately attracted the attention of some treasure hunters on the scene.

   In the past few days, he has been a hot topic person in the warehouse auction circle, especially the one who participated in the auction of Smithsonian Storage Company, which impressed him even more.

   Just walked into the stadium, and before the treasure hunt, someone came up to say hello.

   "Hey! Good morning, Steven, good morning! Jason"

   is a familiar face and the previous bidder, Haiwen.

   There are two or three treasure hunters who have never seen him beside him, they are all looking at Ye Tian, ​​their eyes are full of curiosity and envy.

   "Good morning! Haiwen, I didn't expect to meet you here. I am glad to meet you!"

   Ye Tian turned his head and glanced, then smiled and greeted Haiwen immediately.

   After a few casual chats, Haven asked enthusiastically:

   "Steven, the two auction announcements, the double-headed piano and a large number of Ferrari models issued by Sotheby's, should all come from you?"

   "Yes, I did send it to Sotheby's, and it came from the two Smithsonian warehouses"

   Ye Tian smiled and nodded and admitted.

   This matter has completely spread, and there is no denying it.

   Sotheby’s auction house needs to verify the legal identity of the lot, so it will inevitably contact the Smithsonian Storage Company for relevant information.

   And when Smithsonian learned the news, how could it have let go of this great opportunity for hype! The news quickly spread throughout the warehouse auction circle, making everyone stunned.

   "Wow! You are so lucky!"

   Hearing Ye Tian's affirmative reply, Haiwen immediately exclaimed.

   At this time, his envied eyes are red, and his heart is full of holes, dripping blood!

   Millions of dollars! Just sliding over by hand, who doesn't feel bad about it?

   The other treasure hunters are the same, with envy, jealousy and hatred in the center of their eyes!

   said two more unsatisfactory polite words, Ye Tian left, and Jason walked to the auction booth not far away, starting today's treasure hunt.

   Looking at Ye Tian's leaving back, Haiwen could no longer suppress his emotions, and began to scream in a low voice, even wishing to slap himself in the face.

   "Fack! I'm a **** idiot! I missed so many babies and made this kid a big bargain! Damn it! Unforgivable!"

   "Haven, forget it! This windfall is destined not to belong to you! I know what happened that day, even without this kid, you can't fight the two old foxes of White and William!"

   Another treasure hunter spoke out.

   Although he said so, his eyes were also full of envy and regret.

   Why didn’t you go to that auction? Maybe I have a chance to make a fortune too!

   Suppress the feelings of regret and jealousy a bit, Haiwen looked at Ye Tian's back and said harshly:

   "This kid has such a sharp vision! How long has it been, I have already found the baby several times, go, follow up, see what he buys today, we will shoot if we have the opportunity, maybe we can send a fortune!"

   The few people next to him immediately shook their heads and directly rejected his proposal.

   "Forget it, I don't know about Garcia and the others being scammed by this kid? One after another, they are all jokes in the warehouse auction circle. I don't want to experience the feeling of being humiliated!"

   "This kid is too shrewd and cunning! It's hard to take advantage of it. Let's go ahead as planned. Don't have any problems!"

   Hearing the words of the two friends, Haven's expression suddenly changed, and instantly thought of what happened to Garcia and the others.

   "I'm not a fool like Garcia and the others, I can never be fooled!"

   Haven retired, but he didn't accept it.

   In a blink of an eye, he completely dispelled the idea of ​​keeping up with the competition. No one would like to be regarded as an idiot by others, and he is no exception. It is not very honorable to be a laughing stock in the auction world!

   At this time, a friend next to me pointed to the very lively auction house and said:

   "Don't worry about a rookie, maybe he's just taking good luck, let's go and start the treasure hunt! Maybe you can find a better one and make a lot of money!"

   Afterwards, Haiwen and his friends walked into the auction house, and started hunting treasures with envy and jealousy. Everyone had a fierce digging in their faces!

   Haiwen dismissed the idea of ​​following Ye Tian, ​​but others might not think so.

   There are two treasure hunters in the distance watching Ye Tian~www.wuxiaspot.com~ One of them also appeared at the auction site of Smithsonian Storage Company.

   Seeing that Ye Tian and Jason had begun treasure hunting, they immediately followed.

   "Jermaine, be sure to keep an eye on this Chinese boy, and we will shoot when we see good things, maybe we can make a fortune today!"

   "OK! Let's make money!"

  ……

   Ye Tian didn't realize at this time that he had been spotted, and he was quickly sweeping the stalls inside.

   Since it deals with idle household items, there are not many things on the stalls, so you can basically scan them at a glance.

   Ye Tian will leave immediately as long as he passes by the stall and finds that there are no antiques and valuable artworks. As for the cheap second-hand goods, he doesn't need to look at them, so the speed is very fast.

   This surprised Jason next to him, but he didn't say anything, just followed.

   Within a few minutes, Ye Tian had already passed nearly ten stalls.

   This makes the two tails hanging behind him a little dumbfounded.

   "Fak! Are you here for treasure hunting? How come you look like you are shopping, it's too fast!"

"Don't worry about him! I believe this kid will never be okay. He will run here to wander around. He must have come to hunt for treasure. Although he is very fast, he has not let go of every stall. He will look at him. What are you looking for!"

   exchanged a few words, and the two tails immediately followed firmly.

   Soon, smiles appeared on their faces.

   Scanning to the twelfth booth, Ye Tian stopped and started to check the goods on the booth.

   In his eyes under his sunglasses, surprises and a bright red light were already flashing at this time.

   Obviously, there are antiques between one hundred and three hundred years old in front of him!
