Road to becoming the wealthiest: Starting From Treasure Hunting in the Cabinets-Chapter 55 - This Group is Taking Off

“One thousand dollars.”

“Eight hundred dollars!” Angela gritted her teeth, adding another two hundred.

Each dollar she added would reduce her profits!

“One thousand dollars!”

Sean stuck to one thousand, not swayed even when Angela threw a flirtatious glance his way.

Kidding me! I’m a very committed guy!

Ultimately, Angela had no choice but to pay at the price of one thousand dollars per bag.

Despite losing some money, she would still make a decent profit from this transaction. After paying, Angela handed Sean her business card and playfully scratched his palm, saying,

“If you have good stuff in the future, you can call me directly! Of course, you can also call me when you have nothing to do!”

After that, she got in her car and left.

Sean sighed secretly, as women who appeared serious but could be flirtatious were the most lethal.

Jason, having made a good income just now, was laughing happily.

When Angela’s car disappeared from sight, he said to Sean,

“Boss, Freya has prepared the food. Shall we go back and have lunch now?”

“Alright,” Sean was indeed curious about what Freya had cooked.

Heading to the container where Jason lived, they smelled the unique fragrance of Chinese food from afar.

Upon entering, Sean was delighted to see Big Plate Chicken!

He had just cooked it for Monica Brown and Emily Taylor a few days ago, and now someone had made it for him.

But seeing that it was served with rice, he felt a bit disappointed.

Freya noticed Sean’s expression and explained,

“I didn’t learn how to make the noodles from the chef at the factory when I was there…”

Well, rice is not bad either.

First, they ate the meat, then poured the sauce from the Big Plate Chicken over the rice – the “gravy rice” mode. Sean enjoyed his meal thoroughly.

Had it not been for the upcoming afternoon auction, he would have planned to stay and rest there for the day.

So comfortable!

But for the sake of his livelihood, he had to keep hustling.

After drinking a bowl of strong tea Freya had prepared for him, Sean got up and walked with Jason towards another freight yard.

Halfway there, they encountered several menacing-looking hoodlums coming their way.

These hoodlums blocked Sean and Jason’s path.

Jason, being big and strong, wasn’t afraid at all and wanted to show off in front of Sean by starting a fight.

Sean stopped him, waved his hand, and exposed the grip of the gun tucked in his clothes!

Ever since he realized that the bronze pen was not intimidating enough, the gun had been his standard accessory!

Seeing the gun, the hoodlums immediately changed their expressions and quickly stepped aside to let them pass.

Sean snorted coldly, holding the pen in his hand as he leisurely walked past these men.

However, he was still a bit nervous inside, worried that the hoodlums would ambush them.

Fortunately, these hoodlums didn’t dare to make a move, and Sean and Jason arrived at the freight yard without any problems.

There are eleven containers up for auction in this freight yard this time.

One by one, treasure hunters arrived.

Madden came over, saw Sean Knight, and came up to ask:

“Diana Smith said the gemstones she found this morning were all man-made and only worth a few hundred. Do you know that?”

Sean nodded and said:

“I heard about it. But I don’t know if it’s true or not. After all, we didn’t see who appraised them for her…”

Madden also had the same idea. In order not to provoke others’ jealousy, he had done similar things in the past and understood their motives.

“How much did you gain today?” Madden shifted the topic to Sean.

Sean shook his head:

“Lost a few thousand. Bought a bunch of fake people, thinking there might be some good stuff, but there was nothing.”

Madden also lost quite a lot today. When he heard Sean say this, he felt more balanced.

Moreover, he had already heard this news from Diana Smith.

At first, Diana Smith thought Sean might not admit it for the sake of saving face. But Sean did not hide anything, so Madden could not say anything more.

After a while, more than 20 treasure hunters came.

Madden went to talk to others, and occasionally some people greeted Sean as he was now a celebrity here as well.

Sean focused his attention on the containers. As usual, he scanned them first.

Those with open doors, filled with random furniture and luggage, were overlooked by Sean.

His gaze fell on the last container.

The items inside scared Sean out of his wits!

Two large cannons, two old-fashioned rifles, and a box of old military uniforms were displayed inside the container.

The cannons were tightly covered with waterproof cloth, and they were made of copper, very ancient.

The two rifles were stored in exquisite gun bags and looked well-maintained.

And the clothing looked even older.

Sean lowered his head to search, trying to see what year these items were from.

He found it and was shocked!

The cannons were from the Civil War era, the rifles were Springfield rifles, and the uniforms were also from the American Civil War period.

For Americans with only a few hundred years of history, items from the last century were considered old, and these were undoubtedly antiques!

He had to get them!

What reassured Sean was that the items inside were tightly wrapped up.

Although outsiders could see a clue, Sean’s innate advantage meant he wasn’t afraid of competition.

As for the previous containers, although they had some value, Sean did not intend to compete strongly.

At most, he would help others bid up the price, which would repay the “favors” from the morning.

So, when Madden was bidding on parts in a container, Sean directly raised the price from the 3,500 dollars Madden intended to bid to eight thousand and five hundred dollars.

If it weren’t for Madden bidding directly to 10,000, Sean would have kept going.

And when the Joey Brothers were eyeing a container filled with brand-name shoes, Sean also “helped” them raise the price to 6,800 dollars.

Sean wasn’t afraid of the items ending up in his hands; it was just that Elder Joey was about to get angry, so Sean stopped with a smile.

When it was time for the last container to be opened, half of the treasure hunters who had planned to bid had already left!

Sean was delighted.

As the container lock was cut open and the door was pulled open, many people perked up when they saw it was a blind box.

Blind box containers are the most deceptive.

If successful, it’s a huge profit; if not, it’s a huge loss.

Of course, this is assuming there are competitors.

Then, Sean saw Elder Joey walk over unsteadily, squinting at him.

He had an expression that said, “I’m not through with you.”

Sean wasn’t intimidated by him, though. They could just compete!

He made tens of thousands this morning, so he had plenty of capital!
