Road to becoming the wealthiest: Starting From Treasure Hunting in the Cabinets-Chapter 67 - Delaying Tactics Strategy

Although this wasn’t the ultimate solution, it could still buy some time.

Seeing that Sean was fine, Jason asked,

“Boss, are we going to the warehouse today?”

Sean thought for a moment and asked,

“By the way, did you find any clues about that matter?”

Although he didn’t specify what matter, Jason understood and shook his head, saying,

“I found the people who were together, but they don’t know anything about it. Except for the ones arrested by the police, and the one in the hospital, the others are clueless.”

Sean said helplessly,

“There’s not enough time now, let’s go back to the port.”

There was a warehouse to be auctioned in the morning, but it was far away from here, and by now it should have already started.

It was better to go back to the port, since it was so large, there were several freight yards with container auctions in the morning alone.

“Okay!”

During the drive, Jason suddenly asked,

“Boss, are you really planning to lease a freight yard?”

Sean was a bit surprised, and asked,

“Why are you asking that?”

Jason smiled sheepishly,

“I think it’s a good idea.”

Seeing Sean looking at him, he immediately said with embarrassment,

“I have a bunch of younger brothers who haven’t found a way to make money yet. If we had a freight yard, I think it would be easier to arrange things for them.”

Sean didn’t respond immediately, as this was just an excuse he had used at the time but after thinking about it, wasn’t it a good idea?

However, leasing a freight yard was not cheap!

“I’ll think about it.” Sean didn’t make a commitment.

They drove into the port, and according to the schedule, arrived at a freight yard that was about to start a container auction.

Four unclaimed or unpaid containers were to be auctioned off here.

The arrival of Sean and Jason surprised many people.

Mr. Madden exclaimed,

“Sean, you’re here? I heard you were attacked and I deeply sympathize!”

“It’s fine.” Sean smiled, “I wasn’t injured, but the attackers were severely injured and killed!

Those bastards thought I was easy to bully, and it was time for them to taste my power! The only thing that saddens me is that my landlord’s house is damaged, and I have to pay for the repairs.”

Sean’s words made many people whisper.

In the eyes of many Americans, Chinese people here are basically equated with cowards who would choose to make peace even if bullied.

That’s why hoodlums often rob Chinese people, even during large-scale “Zero Dollar Purchase” events when most people of Asian descent are buying guns to protect themselves, some Chinese people are still quarreling with each other.

Of course, not all are like that. However, some incidents left an impression on white people that represented all.

So when they heard about Sean’s incident, they were very surprised.

If it only happened once, it could be forgotten.

But this was not the first time for Sean!

He had beaten up Tod and his gang before and sent them to the police station.

This time, he fought back powerfully, injuring and killing several people, which was amazing!

So now, the way these people looked at Sean was a bit different.

Even someone raised his hand and shouted,

“Sean, well done!”

Some people had flashing eyes, not knowing what they were thinking.

The auctioneer also looked at Sean Knight in surprise, and then announced loudly:

“Alright, the auction begins now! Let’s see what’s in the first container!”

Sean Knight smiled and said:

“It’s been a while since I’ve heard the auctioneer’s staccato voice, I kind of miss it!”

Although only a day or two had passed, Sean had to admit that he preferred the “performance” of the auctioneer on this side, as he listened to the familiar auction sounds from the warehouse.

He scanned each of the four containers one by one.

The first one was filled with packaging boxes, but they were all empty.

Sean couldn’t help but wickedly speculate that the owner of this container had probably moved everything out of the boxes and left them empty, then defaulted on the rent.

Compared to that, the second container at least had something in it. But the contents didn’t smell very pleasant: it was full of boxes of bananas. The bananas had been left for too long, however, and most of them had gone bad.

One box contained green bananas, which were tightly wrapped and still intact.

Sean’s eyes lit up when he saw the contents of the third container.

Inside were dozens of packed boxes, crammed full.

The boxes near the container door held ordinary toilet seats, while the ones inside held intelligent toilet seats.

The labels were in Japanese, but on closer inspection, the seats were made in China!

These things should be worth money!

Sean immediately began searching online.

Over in the U.S., an intelligent toilet seat with the same trademark ranged from 1,200 to 1,400 dollars!

Trying to contain his excitement, Sean looked at the fourth container.

The fourth one was filled with secured shelves and wooden boxes containing animal specimens.

Sean took a look and decided to pass on it.

He wasn’t sure about the legality of these specimens, so it was best not to take the risk.

By this time, the first container was up for auction. Listening to the auctioneer’s continuous staccato sounds, Sean’s mood inexplicably improved:

“Eight hundred dollars!”

This was his first bid of the day.

Since the contents of the blind boxes were unknown, many people wanted to bid on them.

When they heard Sean’s bid, some people took notice, while others continued bidding.

The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.

When the price reached 2,000 dollars, Sean bid again:

“Two thousand one hundred dollars!”

Mr. Madden wasn’t too pleased with the slow bidding pace and interjected:

“Five thousand dollars!”

Sean raised his hand with a helpless look on his face, signaling that he was giving up.

Diana Smith, however, didn’t want to pass up this opportunity and raised her hand with a smile:

“Six thousand dollars!”

Bidding on blind boxes was the most exciting part, and in such a competitive environment, it was easy for people to get carried away and lose their rationality.

Sean just smiled and watched, waiting for his chance.

Soon, the first container was bought by Mr. Madden, and people turned to the second container while Mr. Madden started opening the blind boxes.

Sean quietly heard Mr. Madden cursing: “Dog shit! Dog shit!”

The second container emitted an unpleasant smell, but because it also contained blind boxes, the competition was still intense.

This time, Sean seemed more proactive and impatient.

From the starting bid of 500 dollars all the way to 7,000 dollars, Sean didn’t give up.

However, his increments changed from 500 dollars each time to 100 dollars.

“Eight thousand and one hundred dollars!” Sean bid again.

Diana noticed that Sean seemed to be running out of money and raised her hand generously:

“Ten thousand dollars!”

Sean couldn’t help but curse: “Dog shit! SHIT! Fuck!”, and then gave up.

Seeing his frustration, the other people couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

“So the Chinese boy can be frustrated too!” Elder Joey said mockingly.

Clearly, they were quite annoyed by Sean’s previous streak of good finds.

Sean glared at Elder Joey and said:

“You better pray you have good luck after this, or you’ll end up even worse than me!”

Next up was the third container.
