Road to becoming the wealthiest: Starting From Treasure Hunting in the Cabinets-Chapter 29 - Your Brother is Still Your Brother

“I have an exciting announcement for you all. After investigating, it turns out that two of these containers came from Dubai!

Just think, that’s Dubai! It’s said to be a place covered in gold and beautiful women. If you can find gold inside, you’ll strike it rich!

Of course, if you find beautiful women inside, that’s not bad either…”

The auctioneer hired by the salvage ship owner was humorous, and it didn’t take long for him to stir up everyone’s interest. People at the scene were joking:

“Maybe there’s really good stuff inside!”

In fact, no one dared to bet on the containers before they were opened.

Someone came over, broke the rusty lock of the container with a pipe wrench, and everyone immediately looked inside.

A small stream of seawater leaked out, and a pungent smell filled the air.

Upon looking inside, the seawater-soaked furniture came into everyone’s view.

“Oh, oh, oh!” A tall white person burst into derisive laughter. “Is this garbage? I don’t even want it for free!”

“There’s nothing good in this container!”

“I think we should leave! Those who left earlier were so wise!”

“These idiots! Why didn’t they use waterproof packaging for the cargo in maritime transportation?”

…

While some people were complaining, others were carefully observing.

Mr. Madden came closer and peeped inside through the gaps in the furniture.

Sean Knight also leaned in pretending to look inside.

From this angle, the suitcases seemed to be decent.

After looking, Madden smiled and asked Sean:

“Sean, what do you think? Are you going to bid?”

“If it’s below 100 dollars, I’ll bid!” Sean answered directly.

Madden shook his head, shrugged his shoulders, and said nothing.

“Alright, let’s start the auction. Reserve price is 20 dollars, increasing by 5 dollars every time…”

The auctioneer didn’t have high expectations for this container, so he set the reserve price low.

“25 dollars.” Sean was the first to make a bid.

“30 dollars!” Mr. Madden followed without hesitation.

Another person jumped straight to 50 dollars.

Only these three people placed bids, while the others watched the commotion.

Sean eventually gave up. There was nothing worth buying inside.

In the end, the container was won by Madden for 125 dollars.

For the next container, Sean Knight bid 55 dollars and secured it.

When this container was opened, the contents within were even more tattered, containing almost all furniture and not a single suitcase. All Sean had to do was clean it out.

He didn’t bid on the third container but went into the second one, putting up a pretense of looking around. In the end, he walked out dejectedly.

There was really nothing of value inside.

On the surface, it seemed like a loss.

As he came out, the fourth container had just opened, and Sean Knight immediately stepped forward.

Someone recognized Sean Knight, and when they saw him approaching, they joked:

“Sean, how’s it going? Any good stuff in there?”

“No, it’s all worse than dog shit!” Sean complained.

“Then why are you bidding?” Another person asked.

“Why not? I lost fifty-five dollars, I have to make it back!”

“Haha! Even Sean can be wrong sometimes!” People always enjoyed seeing others fail.

Sean responded to their ridicule with an angry middle finger.

Perhaps because he’d singlehandedly taken down four Latino Americans earlier, no one wanted to provoke him further.

When the fourth container was opened, some people simply left.

These containers were all covered in seaweed and kelp, showing that they had been submerged for quite some time, and most of the ordinary items inside had rotted away.

At this point, Mr. Madden walked over, looking downcast.

“All right, the starting price for this container is fifty dollars, with each increase of ten dollars…”

As soon as the auctioneer spoke, Sean placed the first bid:

“One hundred dollars!”

Since he’d already said he was going to make up for his losses, nobody was surprised by Sean’s aggressive bidding.

Old Mr. Madden hesitated for a moment, then raised his bid:

“One hundred and twenty dollars!”

“One hundred and fifty dollars!” Sean didn’t hesitate to bid higher.

Old Mr. Madden threw up his hands and gave up. He’d looked inside, and saw nothing worthwhile in there either.

Sean won the container.

Nobody else thought there would be anything valuable inside, so they watched with amusement.

At the fifth container, Sean just glanced at it and noticed something wrapped securely inside.

But he had already decided not to bid on it.

This one container was more than enough.

Looking at the furniture inside, it was all high-end, brand-name items, like a leather sofa, an upscale bed, and a solid wood luxury cabinet.

When Sean opened the cabinet door, a big octopus fell out!

“Oh my God!” Sean shouted.

Those nearby at the auction immediately rushed over, thinking Sean had found something valuable.

Seeing the large, still-wriggling octopus, they immediately began booing.

However, Sean was quite happy – even if he didn’t find any treasures, this two to three-kilogram octopus was enough for a feast!

Without seawater, the octopus could only coil around Sean’s hand, so he emptied a box and stuffed the octopus inside.

At this point, the fifth container had already been sold for 560 dollars, as many people could see the securely wrapped wooden box inside.

A black man won the container, and after paying, the first thing he did was go over and remove the securely wrapped box and opened it!

Inside the box was a complete gaming console with a helmet!

Thanks to the waterproof fabric wrap and the water-resistant box, the gaming console was still working!

“Wow! One thousand dollars, at least one thousand dollars!” Someone yelled.

This was the only money-making container found today.

The black man immediately laughed triumphantly, like a victorious general.

Some people congratulated him on his good luck, while others turned and left.

The excitement was over, and it was time to find money elsewhere.

The black man showed off his gaming console in front of Mr. Madden and Sean, giving them a sly wink before leaving, swaying happily.

At this point, Sean finally found the wooden jewelry box in the corner.

The jewelry box had been waterlogged, and some of the surface decorations had fallen off, making it look like everyday trash.

Sean carried the jewelry box, put it in the box with the octopus, and gave the junk collector two hundred dollars, pointing to the two containers. He also waved to the person in charge of the salvage ship before leaving.

Now it was time to open the boxes!
