Treasure Hunt Tycoon Chapter 909 Overbearing Suppression Chapter 3 /Chapter 5

The price of one hundred thousand was very low, and many treasure hunters raised

their hands at the same time as they shouted, “Me!”

Li Du laughed. “Nobody is being a gentleman this time?”

Soon, he could no longer laugh. These men did not just stop being gentlemen, they had

suddenly turned into bastards.

When the price hit one hundred and twenty thousand dollars, he joined the bidding and

shouted, “One hundred and twenty one thousand dollars!”

“One hundred and twenty two thousand dollars. Chinaman, don’t you think of taking this

storage away!” Conrad shouted, challenging him.

Li Du pointed at him and said furiously, “Hey, auctioneer, what he said was racist.”

The white-gloved man pretended not to hear anything. One of the treasure hunters

beside him said coldly, “What a chicken heart you have! You can’t even stand these

words? Then just don’t be a treasure hunter, go and be a grave keeper, and there won’t

be anyone saying anything to agitate you.”

“He’s right. You don’t have to bid. We won’t let you take this storage down.”

“You’ve come to the wrong place if you think you can make some money. The wealth of

Indiana belongs to us. You guys just go somewhere else in America to make your

money.”

The words were getting crueler, and Li Du’s mood was getting worse.

Hans shook his head at him, signaling him to remain calm.

Li Du was serene. He knew how to outbid his opponents: take down this storage!

Without any hesitation, he continued bidding: “One hundred and thirty thousand!”

“One hundred and thirty one thousand,” Conrad bid.

Li Du looked him in the eye and said, “One hundred and forty thousand!”

“One hundred and forty one thousand dollars,” another treasure hunter bid. Obviously,

he did not intend to let Li Du win the storage.

Li Du continued bidding: “One hundred and fifty thousand!”

“One hundred and fifty one thousand dollars.” This time it was a different person who

bid. Conrad and the other guys looked at Li Du with a smirk and said, “You’re being

ambushed now. Everyone here sees you as an enemy.”

“Very well, then,” Li Du said with a cold smile. “I won’t be polite anymore!”

“Oh, don’t be, just give us your best. Let’s see what your Arizona tricks are like,” a white

man with a big beard shouted.

“Two hundred thousand,” Li Du said.

Big Beard’s mouth twitched, and he said, “Two hundred and one thousand dollars!”

“Three hundred thousand!” Li Du said.

“Ssssst.” He could hear people sucking in cold air. He raised the bid by a lot twice in a

row, and it shocked some of the treasure hunters.

Indianapolis was not New York, Los Angeles, or Chicago. The treasure hunters here

had never participated in any big parties. There were no members of Ten Million Dollar

Club there, and even the members of Million Dollar Club were few. Bids of a few

hundred thousand dollars were enough to shock them.

Conrad, who must have thought that the storage was worth the price, said, “Three

hundred and one thousand!”

“Four hundred thousand!” Li Du said with a cool smile.

The treasure hunters who acted as though they were ganging up against him earlier

had all quieted down. Most of the people left the bidding crowd in silence. They were

not qualified to play this game as it reached this price.

Conrad and the others brought a huge amount of money with them, but four hundred

thousand was considered an exorbitant sum.

Just like Li Du had thought, they did not know the exact value of the storage.

They did know, however, that the sneakers were kept in two different storages. This

was just the first storage. Therefore, they did not dare to evaluate how much the

sneakers in there were actually worth.

Most of the sneakers in America were comparatively cheap. For example, sneakers of

brands like Adidas and Nike often cost less than one hundred dollars. Moreover, some

sneakers could cost just a little more than ten dollars.

That was why, even though there were many shoeboxes in this storage, a treasure

hunter facing a bid of four hundred thousand dollars would hesitate.

It was actually four hundred thousand!

Li Du didn’t care. It was only four hundred thousand. He could get more than that when

he dug out two pieces of black opal. Not to mention that there was still some profit for

the sneakers at this price. Even at no profit, however, he would still bid… even if he

were losing money.

It was not for other reasons. When a man was doing business, he had to give his all. He

wanted to let the local treasure hunters know that he was not someone they could fight.

The bid of four hundred thousand made the scene fall silent for a moment. Without

giving anyone a chance to hit back, Li Du shouted out, “Four hundred thousand will not

do, make it five hundred thousand!”

The treasure hunters rolled their eyes, and someone openly scolded, “F*CK, we have a

goddamn madman! This guy is crazy! He’s nuts! Does he even have five hundred

thousand?!”

Conrad really wanted to fight Li Du and regain his dignity, but he tried hard to be

reasonable. The bid was actually five hundred thousand dollars!

They had inquired about these sneakers beforehand. Their estimated worth was one to

one and a half million dollars.

He knew that all the shoes were kept in two separate storages, so each storage was

supposed to be worth between five hundred thousand to seventy five hundred thousand

dollars.

This estimate, however, was not a figure they could count on. If they wanted to make a

profit, it was best to take the storage down below five hundred thousand dollars.

Anything higher than that, and they would be taking a risk.

These sneakers would be hard to get rid of. Even if Li Du knew that they were worth two

million dollars, he would not bid more than a million without being provoked by the local

treasure hunters.

The sneakers were difficult to handle, and except for the signed ones, the others were

all second hand. There were too many of them, and they would have to sell them off

through small retail stores. If they sold via malls, the malls would need to keep some

profit margin, and the price would be very low.

Hence, paying five hundred thousand for a storage was stunning already.

The young man who had been punched by Ali could not suppress his anger. He chewed

on his lip and said, “Damn you, f*cking bitch, five hundred and ten thousand!”

Li Du gave him a squint and said, “Six hundred thousand!”

Once he made the bid, he saw some of the treasure hunters had a change in their

expressions. He understood what they were planning to do, and added, “This is my last

price. Anyone willing to bid higher than that will take it. I will definitely not add any more

money for it!”

He knew what these treasure hunters were plotting. They all thought that he would take

down this storage no matter what, so they wanted to increase his bids with malicious

intentions, to make him pay more.

Predictably, after hearing what he said, the treasure hunters who were ready to take

action could not move at all. The eager looks on their faces had faded.

Li Du shot a challenging look at Conrad and his friends, and said, “Come on, buddies, I

thought you didn’t want to let me take down the storage? Show me what you can do.”

Conrad tried not to look at him. He bit his lip and said furiously, “This goddamn f*cking

madman! You were right, Jayka, he is crazy, a stupid sh*t nutter!”

Someone beside him said, “I can see that he was unusually determined to win this

storage. Maybe he is just pretending. Should we keep trying to outbid him? Make him

pay more money!”

“Go on, then, outbid him,” Conrad said impatiently.

They did not dare to take further risks. In case Li Du really stopped bidding, they would

have to take over.

Storage number 220 had fallen into Li Du’s hands. Once storage number 221 opened

up, another pile of shoeboxes appeared on the outside.

The auctioneer gave a starting bid of one hundred thousand, smiling gently. Without

waiting for anyone to say anything, Li Du increased the bid straightaway: “Five hundred

thousand! I’ll give five hundred thousand!”

The treasure hunters were all mad, and broke out in a hubbub of furious voices, “Are

you f*cking out of your mind?””Son of a bitch, where did you get so much money from?”

“Damn you, I’m leaving, I won’t take this anymore!”
