Road to becoming the wealthiest: Starting From Treasure Hunting in the Cabinets-Chapter 53 - Crazy Competition

Huh, dream on!

The fourth container was opened.

After everyone looked at it in turn, Madden, Elder and Little Joey whispered to each other.

Sean knew there were both alliances and competition among these people. He had an opportunity to pick a fight and let them undercut each other.

Seeing the clothing materials, many people looked disappointed.

Nowadays, cloth like this is not worth much money.

As for the old-fashioned loom, the exposed iron frame indicated it had been used, and its condition was not very new.

The attention of several big players was focused on the shelf inside.

Mr. Madden suddenly said, “There might be something good on that shelf.”

“I think so too.” Diana Smith had almost leaned on the security guard to get a look inside. The guard was caught in an awkward position because of her.

You could say these treasure hunters were going all out to get more information.

The Freight Yard Owner wasn’t optimistic about this container, wanting to sell it quickly. The auctioneer started the bidding:

“The reserve price is 100 dollars, now starting the auction, with each increase not less than ten dollars… ”

Sean was the first to bid: “500 dollars!”

This alone scared off several people!

However, the old fellows were not intimidated. They thought Sean must have discovered something good and immediately became invigorated like they were on steroids.

“This time it’s my turn!” Diana raised her hand: “Eight hundred dollars!”

Sean raised his hand again:

“One thousand dollars!”

Diana followed up: “1,200 dollars!”

Madden, Elder, and Little Joey couldn’t sit still.

This time Sean seemed very persistent. Were there really good things inside?

Although Elder Joey never really believed that Sean had any special abilities, he felt it was a good opportunity for competition.

He and Little Joey looked at each other and immediately joined the bidding.

“1,500 dollars!”

Elder Joey raised his hand, and Diana panicked for a moment.

She desperately tried to catch his eye, but Elder Joey ignored her like he couldn’t see it.

Sean saw this scene and laughed.

As expected, it was a loose alliance. As soon as their interests were involved, they would become like two dogs. They would be as close as family when there were no bones, but when there were bones, they would bite harder than anyone else!

The price quickly rose to 3,100 dollars.

Old Mr. Madden couldn’t sit still anymore and couldn’t help but start bidding!

The price soon rose to 5,100 dollars.

Eventually, Diana had the most abundant resources, mainly because she hadn’t won the auction for the previous two containers and wanted to win this time.

5,800 dollars.

The Freight Yard Owner was delighted. The container’s rent owed was just a few hundred dollars, and now he had made ten times the money.

After winning the bid, Diana began cleaning up.

A few dozen rolls of cotton cloth were worth only a few hundred dollars.

One loom was also worth just a few hundred dollars.

If it was just these, then it would be a significant loss.

She immediately focused on the shelf inside.

Taking out the box with the gemstones, Diana eagerly opened it.

“Oh!” She shouted in surprise, then danced in circles on the spot, happily holding the box!

Other people who had been observing the next container heard Diana’s exclamation, and they all came running to look.

Sean Knight was still looking at the container.

There wasn’t much of value in it, so it wasn’t worth bidding on.

Seeing the gemstones in Diana Smith’s hands, Madden and the Elder and Little Joey revealed expressions full of envy, jealousy, and hate!

The plan to target Sean Knight had been discussed by all three parties.

However, Madden and the Joeys had both opened containers earlier, but there wasn’t anything valuable inside.

Both parties suffered a small loss.

Now it seemed like Diana was the only one earning big.

Though the initial plan was for each person to target Sean Knight once and whoever profited got to keep the earnings.

But with the Joeys and Madden at a loss and Diana winning, they were not going to take it lying down.

Diana couldn’t care less about how they felt. She happily made a phone call to have someone take care of the loom and cloth, and she went off to find someone to appraise the gemstones.

Next, both Mr. Madden and the Joeys were feeling very unhappy, while Sean Knight was happy to see them suffer.

Playing the entire act, even though he knew that there was nothing in the later containers, he still insisted on looking at them all.

Breaking the three-party alliance without bidding on a single container put Sean in a pretty good mood.

He immediately followed Jason Caldwell to the next freight yard.

Learning from their previous experience of being blocked, they took the main road this time.

There were only three containers to be auctioned at this freight yard, so there weren’t many people present.

Mr. Madden and the Joeys didn’t come.

Did they have a new source of goods?

Sean Knight only thought for a moment, then immediately went to examine the three containers.

In the first container, from the entrance to the back, there were over a hundred mannequins.

Behind them were several shelves with dustproof bags.

Sean’s Sky Eye saw through the dust-proof bags, discovering various handbags, crossbody bags, and backpacks inside.

The brand names were impressively clear.

Sean looked and was thrilled!

Gucci, Chanel, Donkey brand!

Among the dozen or so dustproof bags, there were at least sixty or seventy bags.

If they were genuine, he would be rich!

He carefully looked at them, noticed a number, and jotted it down to search on his mobile phone.

They were indeed genuine!

Haha, he had to get them!

The second container was full of clothing.

The clothes were packed in large cardboard boxes, and there were also some on the shelves at the back of the container.

There were branded items, as well as miscellaneous ones.

With the logo on the packaging box, Sean felt there was little chance of finding a bargain.

As for the third container, it was packed full with shoes.

Second-hand items.

He wasn’t sure what people would want with those shoes.

The auction began, and to Sean’s surprise, the auctioneer was a woman in her thirties.

The container doors opened, and the seven or eight treasure hunters present started looking around.

Seeing the mannequins, almost everyone showed disappointment.

The Freight Yard Owner, unwilling to accept the situation, loudly said:

“This container was meant for a shopping center! There might be something valuable inside, so don’t look down on it!”

However, the auctioneer’s reserve price gave away the owner’s lack of confidence.

“The reserve price is fifty. Each bid increment must be no less than ten dollars. The auction starts now!”

Sean immediately raised the price to two hundred.

Suddenly, more than half of the people withdrew from the competition.

Those who didn’t know Sean thought he was foolish.

It was clear that the mannequins were second-hand, worth nothing more than tens of dollars at most.

Whoever bids two hundred must be playing the fool, right?

In the end, Sean won the container for three hundred fifty dollars.

Without any interest in the others, the rest of the people moved on to the second container.

Sean and Jason got to work cleaning up the container.

At that moment, Diana walked in.

Sean was a bit puzzled – why did Diana’s expression seem angry?
