Ten o'clock in the morning.
Seeing that the time had come, the auctioneer and his assistant sitting under the awning came towards everyone.
Coming closer, the auctioneer immediately said loudly:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am Johnny, the auctioneer of this container auction. Welcome everyone to come and participate in the auction hosted by me."
"This container auction will start soon. Before starting, we still need to introduce the auction rules..."
Then, the guy started talking quickly.
There were professional treasure hunters and several second-hand store owners present, so they were all too familiar with this set of rules.
Even so, everyone still has to listen patiently.
While the auctioneer read out the rules, many professional treasure hunters stared at Xiao Ran and talked in low voices.
"Sean is very lucky and has a sharp vision. As long as we keep an eye on this guy, we might be able to capture a priceless leak."
"Yes, we must keep an eye on this lucky guy. I don't believe that God will only care for him."
Among the treasure hunters who were staring at Xiao Ran, there were two professional treasure hunters who had ransacked the apartment before.
At this time, Xiao Ran, although he was joking with Elaine in a low voice, could clearly feel these unpredictable glances.
In the blink of an eye, the auctioneer had finished introducing the rules and led everyone towards the first container to be auctioned.
Seeing the auction start, the live broadcast room suddenly became more lively.
"Xiao Ran, if there really is a Saudi prince's container, you must take a photo of it, maybe you can make a lot of money."
Contentment is not always joyful said
"I hope I can make a big mistake today. It's my turn this time."
Brother Hua Zi continued, unable to wait any longer.
"Don't have high expectations, I'll try my best. Everyone having fun is the most important thing."
Xiao Ran smiled and whispered.
While talking, the auctioneer led everyone to the first container.
The container has been hoisted down and placed in an open space.
There are countless containers stacked on both sides, as high as two city walls, more than ten meters high.
These containers come from all over the world, with the characters of different countries and the logos of different shipping companies printed on them.
A considerable number of the containers were printed with Chinese characters and the logo of the China Shipping Company, clearly coming from China.
The first container auctioned today happens to come from China, with the COSCO Shipping logo printed on the box.
Coming closer, the auctioneer first introduced the situation of the container.
"Guys, this container comes from Shanghai, China. It has been here for more than five months. No one has come to claim it, so it was auctioned publicly..."
While the auctioneer was introducing the situation, his assistant stepped forward with hydraulic pliers, cut the door lock of the container, and opened the container.
Afterwards, everyone started queuing up to visit and make assessments.
At the same time, many treasure hunters on the scene became excited.
Xiao Ran was not in a hurry to visit and evaluate it, nor did he secretly turn on the X-ray to see through the container.
While talking to Elaine in a low voice, he observed the performance of everyone present.
Little did he know that others were also watching his every move.
Even the guys standing at the door of the container were the same. They didn't spend as long looking at the inside of the container as they did at him.
In a moment, it was Xiao Ran's turn to step forward to check the situation.
He took Elaine to the door of the container and looked up inside.
The container was filled with unopened furniture and some tightly wrapped crates.
Some of the crates are marked with upward arrows, Chinese characters saying "Handle with care", company logos and more.
Apparently, this was a batch of brand-new furniture exported from China to the United States, only to be abandoned at the port.
Judging from the outline of the unopened furniture, it should be Western-style furniture. It is unclear whether it is ordinary furniture or high-end furniture.
In Xiao Ran's eyes, there was nothing radiating beautiful light here.
To him now, this container has little value and is not his goal.
Before the company was established, he had no interest in getting these new furniture back and slowly selling them.
Even if they are not difficult to sell, there is still a certain profit.
Seeing a container full of furniture, Elaine's interest suddenly dropped a lot.
"Sean, it seems you don't know how to take pictures of this container."
Xiao Ran smiled and whispered.
"It's true. It's so troublesome to deal with this thing. The little money you make isn't enough."
At this moment, a fan in the live broadcast room suddenly interrupted.
"Xiao Ran, if you need furniture yourself, I think you can take a photo of this furniture container."
"This is a furniture factory in my hometown in Zhejiang. It specializes in producing various customized European-style high-end furniture for export. The sales are very good and the quality is very good."
Xiao Ran replied in a low voice.
"Forget it, I don't want to touch these things now. I'll talk about it after I buy a house."
After saying that, he took Elaine away from the container door and stood aside.
Seeing his state, many people present had a look of disappointment in their eyes.
These guys understood that Xiao Ran was not interested in this container.
However, that guy Kevin came over.
Coming closer, Kevin immediately asked in a low voice:
"Sean, this is obviously a container from your country. What do you think of the unopened furniture in the container? Give me your opinion."
Xiao Ran turned to look at this guy, and then nodded.
“I don’t know what these furniture look like, but I’ve heard of this brand and the quality is pretty good.”
"If you have sales channels and the price is right, you can actually take pictures and it should be profitable."
"I get it, thank"
Kevin nodded and replied without saying anything more.
Soon, everyone had finished visiting.
Immediately afterwards, the auction officially began.
"Guys, you see, this is a container filled with new furniture, the value is not low."
"The starting price of this container is US$4,000, everyone can bid,..."
Johnny spoke quickly and gave a decent starting price.
As the starting price is announced, the competition begins.
Before he finished speaking, someone raised his hand to accept the price.
Xiao Ran didn't even look at it, and continued to joke and chat with Elaine.
A meaningless auction is not as interesting as chatting with a beautiful woman.
Within a short time, the furniture container was sold.
It was Kevin who finally bought the container, and the transaction price was US$32,000.
He has sales channels. If he can sell all the furniture in the container, he will definitely make a small profit. There is no problem in doubling the profit.
Next, the auctioneer led everyone towards the second container.
Soon, everyone arrived at the second container.
This is a 45-foot high-cube container, and it looks thicker and stronger.
It can be seen from this that this is a specially made large container.
As soon as they saw this large container, the eyes of many professional treasure hunters suddenly lit up.
"Wow! This is a special container, usually used to carry valuables!"
"Maybe this is the Saudi prince's container, it must be full of good things!"
There was a cry of exclamation at the scene, and every treasure hunter became excited instantly, and his eyes shone.
It was the same in the live broadcast room, everyone was very excited.
"I'll go! This large container looks very heavy, maybe there's a big leak inside!"
The honest and reliable young man said.
"Hurry up and open the blind box and see what treasure is inside."
Ximen Chuiyu said impatiently.
At the auction site, Johnny had begun to introduce the situation of this container.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a large container shipped from Europe..."
After he finished introducing the situation, the staff immediately stepped forward with a handheld cutting machine and started cutting the lock.
With a loud and unusual noise, the solid lock was cut open in the blink of an eye.
The next moment, the container door was forcefully opened by two staff members.
As soon as the door opened, excited cheers erupted from the venue and live broadcast room.
"Holy shit! This is a supercar container. There seem to be several supercars inside. It's so luxurious!"
"There is no doubt that this is definitely a container belonging to a Saudi prince. Those guys are just like buying supercars like models!"
With the exclamations coming and going, the atmosphere immediately became lively.
What no one saw was that a playful smile flashed in Xiao Ran's eyes.
