What Xiao Ran didn't expect was that someone actually took a fancy to his suitcase.
As soon as the price of $35 came out, someone raised a bidding sign.
The person holding the sign was none other than the white man who just asked himself if he was Chinese.
While accepting the price, the guy looked back at Xiao Ran, with a hint of provocation in his eyes.
Xiao Ran couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly.
At this time, the auctioneer quickly quoted a new price of $40.
Xiao Ran, who had been watching Kung Fu here for a while, basically understood the process of this kind of auction.
This kind of auction of lost luggage goes very quickly, and the auctioneer's quotations are like a rapid-fire barrage, speaking very fast.
It often only takes more than ten seconds for them to complete several rounds of bidding and successfully auction an item.
If no one responds to the bid three times in a row, they will drop the hammer without hesitation, declare the sale or failure, and continue the auction of the next lot.
This determines that the moment a buyer sees the item they like coming up for auction, they must always be vigilant and quickly raise their sign to accept the price.
Under the auctioneer's rapid quotation and the heated atmosphere at the scene, many people did not even have time to think and could only mechanically raise their placards.
As a result, some luggage that is not valuable at all can often fetch high prices!
When the bidders woke up afterwards, it was too late to regret!
At this time, Xiao Ran happened to be an inexperienced non-professional.
What's more, he's obsessed with his suitcase.
"$40,..."
When the auctioneer called out the bid for the second time, Xiao Ran raised his bidding number again.
The auctioneer raised his hand and pointed at him, then quickly gave the next bid.
"Mr. No. 216 accepted the offer. The current offer is US$45. Which gentleman accepted the offer?..."
The white man raised his sign again and looked back at Xiao Ran again.
Xiao Ran ignored the other party. When the new quotation came out, he raised the sign in his hand without hesitation.
Just like this, you come and go, and in the blink of an eye, the price has reached 65 US dollars.
At this time, there is one more competitor.
This is a black woman in her thirties, with a big body and round waist, heavy makeup, and a strong nouveau riche temperament.
The opponent was sitting on a chair in the court, not far from Xiao Ran who was standing on the sidelines.
When he raised the sign to answer the price, he turned to look at Xiao Ran and the white man respectively.
The woman probably saw Xiao Ran arguing with the white man and thought there was something good in the suitcase, so she made a bid.
Chinese people are very rich and are willing to spend a lot of money.
This point has become the consensus of almost everyone in Europe and America, and this black woman is no exception.
"Fuck, Xiao Ran, have you ever offended these guys? Otherwise, why would they target you?"
“I’ve seen previous auctions usually end in four or five rounds, but your suitcase actually went through so many rounds!”
The sound of a cat hiding in the corner came from the headphones.
Not only him, but others in the live broadcast room were also surprised.
Xiao Ran smiled softly, and then whispered:
"That's right, bro must have been targeted!"
“In today’s America, Chinese people are easily targeted!”
After the words fell, another guy in the live broadcast room immediately continued:
"These grandsons! They harm others without benefiting themselves, they are so damn bad!"
"Xiao Ran, we are not used to the bad habits of these grandsons, so we must knock down their arrogance!"
"That's right, that's what I think, buddy!"
Xiao Ran responded in a low voice.
The next moment, he suddenly raised the bidding sign again, loudly gave the quotation, and took the initiative to raise the price.
"$200!"
Immediately afterwards, he looked at the white man, stretched out his left hand, and made a gesture of invitation, which was full of provocation.
As this new offer came out, there was a small commotion at the scene.
"The price is raised by one hundred and thirty dollars at a time. Could it be that there really is something good in this suitcase?"
"No. 216, who took the initiative to raise the price, seems to be Chinese. He is an unfamiliar face. It must be his first time participating in the auction. I don't know what's going on!"
"Did that guy in Lyon have a problem with this kid? He seemed to be luring the other person into a trap and successfully angered him."
Amidst the murmurs of discussion, many bidders at the scene turned their heads and looked over.
They all looked at Xiao Ran, but no one knew him, but quite a few knew Leon.
Leon may be a professional treasure hunter, and he probably often participates in such auctions, so everyone knows him.
Among the bidders participating in this auction, there were also several Chinese.
Seeing that Xiao Ran was a compatriot, they all shook their heads slightly to signal him not to be fooled.
But how did they know that this suitcase originally belonged to Xiao Ran and was bound to get it!
Seeing Xiao Ran's provocative action, Leon was stunned for a moment, but did not immediately raise his sign to accept the price.
He thought for a moment and didn't raise his bidding sign until the auctioneer called out $210 for the second time.
The black woman withdrew from the competition, apparently unwilling to take the risk without knowing what was in the box.
The next moment, a new round of quotations came out, $220.
Just like before, Xiao Ran took the initiative to raise the price again.
"$300!"
While shouting, he made an invitation gesture to Lyon again and continued to provoke.
In front of everyone, being provoked by an unknown person in this way, Leon's face was a bit uncomfortable.
His face suddenly turned red, a hint of anger flashed in his eyes, and he cursed in a low voice.
But he seemed to have forgotten that he was the one who initiated the dispute.
He looked at Xiao Ran fiercely, then raised the number plate again and accepted the offer of US$310.
At this moment, a white man standing next to Xiao Ran suddenly asked in a low voice:
"Man, why are you so obsessed with this suitcase? Is there anything valuable in this suitcase?"
"This is a lost luggage auction, and the prices are usually very low. Only famous brand bags can fetch high prices!"
Xiao Ran turned to look at this guy, then smiled and explained a few words.
"I came to the airport to pick up my lost suitcase! But the airport staff told me that my luggage was being auctioned."
"I just came to this auction, this suitcase is mine, and my notebook is still in it."
"I want to get my suitcase back, as long as it doesn't exceed the value of the laptop, forget it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Ran raised his sign again, shouted out the offer of 400 US dollars, and once again provocatively asked Leon to take action.
The white man next to him was stunned for a moment, and a look of ridicule quickly flashed in his eyes.
He knew clearly that there was absolutely no way there was a laptop in this suitcase.
The jewelry and electronic products in the suitcase had long been taken out by the auction house.
The Chinese boy in front of me was obviously participating in this kind of auction for the first time and had no idea what was going on, so he was raising his placards like crazy.
If he knew his laptop was no longer in the suitcase, he probably wouldn't have paid $50.
Thinking of this, the white man immediately looked at Leon and shook his head slightly!
But how did he know that Xiao Ran did it on purpose, and that what he said just now was meant for him.
When he first arrived at the auction venue, he had seen this guy standing and chatting with Leon, and he obviously knew each other.
Because of this, he said these words just to make the other party mistakenly think that he was an ignorant stick.
Things developed just as he expected!
After receiving the signal, Leon immediately stopped and stopped raising his placards to bid. Instead, he looked at Xiao Ran with a mocking face.
Xiao Ran glanced at the other party with disdain, and made a gesture of invitation again, provoking the other party.
However, Leon stopped taking the move and instead laughed proudly.
The auctioneer's voice never stopped, and he still spoke quickly.
After asking three times in succession, the auctioneer immediately dropped the hammer when he saw that no one responded to the bid.
"Deal, $400"
"Congratulations to buyer No. 216 for successfully acquiring this suitcase!"
The moment the auction hammer rang, Xiao Ran's heart hanging high in his throat finally fell back into his stomach.
First task accomplished, now it’s game time!
"Well done!"
There was a burst of cheers in the live broadcast room, and everyone was excited.
It's a pity that Xiao Ran didn't enable the live broadcast reward function, otherwise he would definitely gain a lot of carnival rewards.
You know, these guys in the live broadcast room are not short of money!
