The biggest feature of container blind boxes is that the items inside are too random.
Everything from industrial equipment, cars, and furniture to food, department stores, and various spare parts can all be opened from it.
Tang, Song, and Yuan did not take action on the sixth, seventh, or eighth container blind boxes.
It's not that these containers are worthless, it's just that the value is not high enough to make him excited.
They were captured by the fat black brothers, Lewis, and Rawls.
Until the ninth, and the last container blind box of the day, was opened by Merlin's assistant.
This is a container with a length of nearly twelve meters. Once the door is opened, you can see various tightly wrapped items neatly placed inside.
On the left side of the door is a piece of furniture covered with plastic film that looks a bit like a cabinet, with several cardboard boxes in the middle.
On the right are a pair of unidentified objects also wrapped in plastic film.
It's slightly smaller and looks like a floor-standing clothes hanger.
Further inside are some cardboard boxes of different sizes, also tightly wrapped.
Merlin said to the eagerly awaited crowd: "Today's last container is said to come from a very wealthy French couple."
"Looking at it like this, it should be all high-end furniture from France. Otherwise, it wouldn't be packaged so tightly."
"And this is a container with a length of nearly twelve meters. It is not ruled out that there are better items behind it..."
This container really piqued everyone's interest.
Although the items in the blind box are wrapped very tightly, you can tell they are valuable just by looking at the arrangement inside.
If it is really high-end French brand furniture, just one such container can make them a huge profit.
Seeing that the treasure hunters around him were eager to try, Tang Songyuan also opened his perspective and took a look.
From the perspective of sight, the items in the container are indeed a batch of furniture.
Cabinets, coffee tables, vertical clothes racks, sofas, mattresses and so on.
The cabinets and coffee tables are made of red pine, and the sofas are also made of genuine leather, made by the top Italian brand Plato.
What surprised Tang Songyuan the most were the three mattresses in the innermost corner of the container.
It turned out to be from Hästens, a famous Swedish mattress manufacturer.
He checked online based on the model of the mattress. The cheapest of the three mattresses cost US$290,000.
The most expensive one even costs more than 800,000 US dollars...
Is this still a mattress?
Is it okay to just use $800,000 to make a bed?
Tang Song and Yuan cursed inwardly, waiting for Mei Lin to announce the start of the auction.
When the time came, Merlin announced with a smile on his face: "The base price is five thousand US dollars, please bid..."
This time, Matthew, who had abundant funds, directly started bidding at US$10,000, but the Black Fat Brothers and Shelly Jacqueline followed suit and increased their bids by US$2,000 each.
It seems that everyone is ready to pay the last dollar this time, but Matthew, who looks thin, makes a sonorous and powerful quotation: "Fifteen thousand US dollars!"
Brother Matthew took the lead again, but Tang Songyuan was not to be outdone and immediately raised the price to 20,000 US dollars.
Then Rawls took action and immediately increased the price to twenty-five thousand US dollars.
But Matthew didn't hesitate at all and raised the price again to $28,000.
In just one minute, everyone added one round each.
Not only did he quote the price extremely fast, he also spoke loudly, comparable to a grocery shopping scene in a domestic vegetable market.
And Tang Songyuan was determined to get this container, so he immediately quoted: "Thirty thousand US dollars!"
"Ho~!"
The fat black brother exclaimed, obviously he didn't expect Tang Songyuan to be so tough and willing to spend money.
Although they are also optimistic about this container, the current quotation has exceeded their psychological bottom line.
This time, Matthew, who loved to raise prices, also fell silent. Merlin, who was in charge of the auction, once again said, "Matthew, this is the last container of the day. You can't miss this opportunity!"
Matthew gritted his teeth and quoted again: "Thirty-three thousand US dollars!"
"Thirty-five thousand dollars!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Songyuan followed closely and reported his price without hesitation at all, showing off his momentum.
Matthew raised his arms in annoyance, shook his head and said, "Forget it, let him do it. Newcomers are always so reckless."
Ni Sisi leaned into Tang Songyuan's ear and translated Matthew's words: "He said your newborn calf is not afraid of tigers..."
Tang Songyuan said in surprise: "Foreigners can still speak idioms?"
Ni Sisi chuckled lightly and said: "That's what it means. It's more convenient to use idioms to translate it. Do you understand it?"
After asking for price three times, Meilin announced that the last blind container box belonged to Tang, Song and Yuan.
Fortunately, Tang Songyuan had prepared enough cash for today's treasure hunt. He counted 35,000 US dollars from the small bag Ni Sisi carried and handed it to Merlin, completing the cash handover.
Next it’s time to unbox.
Those who took photos of the container were excited to find their own container and started rummaging through it with great anticipation.
Tang Songyuan also took Ni Sisi to the No. 1 container first.
The first thing was the helmets on a row of shelves at the door. Tang Songyuan pulled the shelves out as a whole and counted them. There were a total of 20 brand-new motorcycle helmets.
Ni Sisi took a photo with her mobile phone, then checked it online and said:
"I just checked, this kind of helmet is called Bell Star Carbon, and it sells for more than 600 US dollars on Amazon!"
Six hundred one?
Tang Songyuan didn't pay attention to this at first, but he didn't expect that just the inconspicuous helmet at the door would cost him twelve thousand US dollars.
"Haha, a good start!"
Tang Songyuan grinned and said: "Then let's make him a fool and turn him upside down today!"
Then he energetically moved the boxes out of the container. There were dozens of cardboard boxes. When he opened them, he saw that they were all unopened computer accessories.
"Senior sister, look, there are several unopened laptops here!"
Tang Songyuan opened a cardboard box and pretended to be surprised and shouted: "It's still Apple's MaCBOOk!"
Ni Sisi said with a smile in her eyes: "Okay, these notebooks and those helmets have fully paid for themselves, and there are still a bunch of graphics cards in them!"
"Wow, 4090!"
Tang Songyuan seemed to be belatedly, and when he saw the pile of graphics cards in the innermost place, he exclaimed: "So many!"
Ni Sisi said: "I checked this just now. Amazon sells it for more than 2,300 yuan."
Then she wondered: "It's just that these things are valuable... but how can they be disguised?"
Tang Songyuan didn't panic at all. He took out his mobile phone and said, "What's so difficult about this? Shake people!"
