Road to becoming the wealthiest: Starting From Treasure Hunting in the Cabinets-Chapter 48 - Profit or Loss

But Elder Joey didn’t care, he just blurted out:

“One thousand dollars!”

After he called out the price, he looked smugly at Sean Knight.

Sean was not angry with him.

It’s not worth getting angry with such people.

Moreover, after he finished dealing with the two small hoodlums just now, the anger in his body was almost vented out.

Now he was very clear-headed, only wanting to make money.

After George Qiao simply cleaned up the container, he came over and saw the look in Elder Joey’s eyes towards Sean Knight.

He immediately came forward and patted Elder Joey on the shoulder, then extended his hand toward Sean Knight:

“I heard you’ve been lucky lately and made a lot of money?”

“Not bad, I guess.” Sean replied vaguely, not knowing what the Joey Brothers knew.

However, in treasure hunting, unless you hide your container after opening it and don’t let anyone see what’s inside, the information will be leaked.

“How many containers are you planning to bid on this time?”

“It depends.” Sean, in the face of George Qiao’s probing, didn’t fall for it, “We Chinese people are all about fate. If we like it and feel good about it, we’ll bid.”

At this moment, the auctioneer suddenly raised his voice: “Elder Joey has bid 1300 dollars! 1300 dollars! Is there anyone else who wants to bid? Anyone else…?”

Sean quickly raised his hand and reported a price to the auctioneer: “One thousand five hundred dollars!”

Chatting and auctioning didn’t affect each other!

Of course, he was also grateful to the auctioneer for reminding him by raising his voice.

The two of them had an unspoken understanding.

Elder Joey had originally intended to take advantage of Sean’s conversation with George Qiao and steal the container at a low price, but Sean had been paying attention all along. The auctioneer’s sudden raised voice allowed Sean to bid in time and increase the price appropriately.

George Qiao wasn’t without intentions to help his brother block Sean, but seeing that Sean was on guard, he knew this tactic wouldn’t work. He nodded to Sean and went back to cleaning the container.

The price had climbed to 3600 dollars, and only Elder Joey and Sean were bidding at this point.

“Five thousand dollars!” Sean hit hard with this one.

He learned this from Mr. Madden who often used this tactic to increase the price and intimidate competitors.

This time, he successfully scared off Elder Joey.

“Congratulations, Sean, on winning this container!”

The auctioneer spoke loudly, then nodded to Sean Knight and turned to the third container.

This auctioneer is good!

It’s always best to have many friends and connections in every situation.

When the next container was opened, some treasure hunters immediately cursed:

“Dog shit!”

“What kind of garbage is this?”

“How can this container even be auctioned? Has the Freight Yard Owner lost his bottom line?”

“The former owner of this container is hardly any different from a vagrant!”

As people cursed, the auctioneer was also scratching his head.

Mainly because this container was too shabby.

Inside, everything was messy, and the few somewhat intriguing packages were made of the simplest canvas material, completely unattractive to the crowd.

Ultimately, the auction results would determine his portion of the money.

However, it still had to be auctioned off.

After everyone finished looking, the auctioneer and the freight yard owner discussed for a moment before loudly announcing:

“Twenty dollars reserve price, the minimum bid increase is five dollars, starting now…”

For more than ten seconds, there was no response.

Sean Knight raised his hand:

“Thirty dollars.”

“Thirty dollars, thirty dollars, now the first offer at thirty dollars…”

The auctioneer gratefully looked at Sean Knight. If this auction didn’t happen, he would have lost some income.

Elder Joey raised his hand:

“Fifty dollars!”

He now had a reason to fight with Sean Knight.

Was he still focused on those few luggage bags, thinking there’s potential?

Sean Knight didn’t know for sure, he just raised his hand calmly:

“Sixty dollars.”

“Eighty dollars!”

As soon as Sean finished bidding, Elder Joey raised his hand.

The excitement immediately spread among the people around them!

These two top people were at odds!

This was interesting!

Sean Knight continued with a calm bid: “One hundred dollars.”

“One hundred twenty dollars…”

“One hundred fifty dollars!”

When the bidding reached 180 dollars, the auctioneer was already somewhat pleasantly surprised.

This price was quite unexpected!

He even worried for Sean Knight if Sean had to take the deal, would he suffer a loss?

Finally, Elder Joey was held back by George Qiao and didn’t bid. Sean Knight got the container for two hundred dollars.

He did not plan to bid on the ones behind.

Just then, Jason Caldwell arrived. Turning to him, Sean said:

“Clean up the garbage over there and take anything useful. Oh, and don’t touch those suitcases yet.”

Jason happily agreed.

He had just moved here recently and, although he had made some money following Sean, his siblings still needed money. Being able to pick up some old things to use now made him very content.

After entering, he immediately took a 70% new jacket out of the wooden box and excitedly started trying it on.

Sean Knight then called Mr. John and told him about the World War II equipment in his container.

“That woman, Judy Morris, you know her. She collects these.”

“You call her then.” Although Sean had Judy’s business card, he knew that if the transaction went through Mr. John, the old man would get some commission from the other party.

He could have directly contacted her, but he didn’t want to do so.

It wasn’t a bad thing, though.

Mr. John understood Sean’s intentions, sighed that he had indeed done the right thing, and called Judy Morris.

Judy called Sean back, and after learning about the specific items, said she would be there in half an hour.

It was only then that Sean began to carefully unpack the boxes.

Seeing the paratrooper equipment, old-fashioned military uniforms, water bottles, and tools that looked like props being taken out and arranged, some treasure hunters crowded over out of curiosity.

These were either the bottom level or newcomers in the field of treasure hunting.

Similar to Jason Caldwell.

They didn’t have much capital but dreamed of finding a bargain.

When the top people entered the scene, they would follow and watch the excitement, hoping to increase their knowledge on the side.

Those who were eager to learn would naturally grow a little, but for most, it only added some excitement to their daily routines and didn’t help their careers at all.

While Sean was organizing the items, a fashionably dressed Judy Morris arrived.

When she saw the items that Sean had, she widened her eyes!
