From the door to the inside of the container, there are porcelain on display.

Porcelain in a box.

At a glance, most of the porcelain placed at the door had scratches. Either a corner is missing or there is a crack.

There were more than a dozen boxes of porcelain inside that were intact.

Although Zhu Yu is from China, his understanding of porcelain is limited to ordinary people.

These porcelains don't look like modern products, but a bit like ancient porcelain.

But the quantity is really a bit big.

If it is ancient porcelain, even if it is damaged, such a large quantity is still a considerable fortune.

Why did the owner of this container abandon these porcelains?

This is unreasonable!

But no matter what, Zhu Yu wanted to give it a try and take a picture!

As soon as the container was opened, the few people crowded at the door looked at the porcelain and immediately turned their attention to Zhu Yu and the other Asian woman who had followed and took pictures of the first container.

Zhu Yu understood.

After all, porcelain is equivalent to China.

These people have regarded themselves and the other woman as powerful competitors.

In recent years, because Chinese people have bought back a large number of overseas antiques, many people overseas have learned that ancient Chinese things are also very valuable.

Ming and Qing porcelain that used to cost tens or tens of dollars at flea markets can now cost thousands or tens of thousands of dollars!

Some people even buy things when they see someone with a Chinese face, and the price will immediately rise tenfold or dozens of times.

I feel like the Chinese people are like being taken advantage of.

Therefore, when the auctioneer offered a base price of three hundred dollars and Zhu Yu quoted three hundred and fifty dollars, each of the seven or eight people participating in the auction immediately raised the price to eleven hundred dollars!

Zhu Yu was greatly surprised.

The Asian woman looked at the porcelain carefully and then made a price:

"Fifteen hundred dollars!"

Zhu Yu thought for a while and made an offer:

"Two thousand dollars!"

He suddenly offered an extra five hundred dollars just to scare off some competitors.

Sure enough, this method worked.

Some auctioneers who didn't know why immediately stopped bidding.

"Two thousand one hundred dollars." But there were two other auctioneers who weren't about to give up.

"Two thousand three hundred!"

"Three thousand!" This time it was the Asian woman who raised the price.

Zhu Yu was a little surprised. This Asian woman seemed determined to get these porcelains.

Zhu Yu looked at the porcelain again and felt that it was covered with a layer of something and was not as clear as ordinary porcelain.

"Three thousand five hundred dollars!" a female voice suddenly rang.

Zhu Yu turned his head, Joanna!

She walked up to Zhu Yu and whispered:

"Do you like it? If you like it, I'll take a picture of it for you."

Zhu Yu was stunned!

what's going on?

Take a photo of yourself?

Are you going to eat soft rice?

That won't work!

He patted Joanna lightly on the shoulder and said:

"No, I have money here. And... these things are a bit suspicious."

The Asian woman made another offer:

"Four thousand dollars!"

Joanna listened to Zhu Yu's words and stopped increasing the price.

However, Zhu Yu and that woman had already stirred up the heat. He wouldn't let Joanna add more, but he still wanted to take a photo, and someone else increased the price.

"Four thousand five hundred dollars!"

It turned out to be an increase of fifty dollars, but as soon as Zhu Yu and the Asian woman took action, the increase was five hundred dollars.

Zhu Yu believed that the woman should also be able to tell that these porcelains were ancient porcelain.

It's just that this is no ordinary ancient porcelain, it is most likely porcelain found in the sea.

And many of the porcelains have some damage.

Zhu Yu glanced over and found that there should be about sixty pieces of porcelain, of which about forty were intact.

The important point is that these porcelains were not fired in official kilns. The celestial eye can see the recognition underneath, and there is no official creation.

Therefore, after all calculations, even Ming and Qing porcelains are most likely not particularly valuable.

Therefore, when the value reached seven thousand dollars, only Zhu Yu and the woman were quoting.

The woman came over and whispered to Zhu Yu:

"Why bother killing each other?"

She spoke Mandarin with a hint of Central Plains dialect.

Zhu Yu thought for a while and then gave up.

Although I don’t know the price of Hailao porcelain, it is definitely not too valuable.

And they are all compatriots, so let’s form a good relationship!

Asian woman photographed the china.

"Thank you, my name is Helen, and this is my business card." The Asian woman handed the business card to Zhu Yu, then looked at Joanna and said:

"You have a beautiful girlfriend."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Zhu Yu and Joanna packed the containers together.

Joanna asked her question:

"Why didn't you continue taking pictures of the containers just now? If you don't have enough money, I still have some here."

Zhu Yu shook his head and said:

"If I keep filming, I won't make much money."

He told Joanna about his speculation about finding porcelain from the sea, and then said:

"Some of these porcelains are damaged. The value of the intact ones is higher, but it is also limited. I estimate the total value is about ten thousand US dollars. It would be meaningless to take pictures any further."

Joanna nodded in understanding, and then focused on the container she took photos of.

Joanna was very satisfied with Zhu Yu's attitude of patiently explaining to herself.

Which man or woman in love doesn't want the other person's attention to be on themselves?

When she lifted the veil and saw the motorcycle, Joanna screamed:

"Harley!"

Zhu Yu doesn't know much about motorcycles.

Although I have heard of Harley, I don’t know much about its value.

On the contrary, Joanna was very knowledgeable in this area and gave Zhu Yu popular science:

"This is a Harley motorcycle produced in the 1980s. Now it's considered a collector's item. Let me take a look..."

Joanna carefully looked at the model and parts of the motorcycle, and even tried to start it.

"Well, it's well-preserved. It can probably be sold for $10,000! I made a profit!"

Joanna couldn't help but turned around, hugged Zhu Yu and kissed her:

"My dear, betting on the container is really exciting! My luck is really good!"

Looking at the other stuff, it's all parts and tools, worth hundreds of dollars.

"I have a friend whose father collects this. I can call her." Zhu Yu didn't expect that Joanna even had channels to sell it.

After making the call, Joanna took a few photos and went over.

"Next, let's take a look at your container. I hope you will get a good harvest too!"

Zhu Yu said confidently:

"Yes, your luck will bring me good luck!"

After entering the container and looking at the old goods and even garbage on the floor, Joanna was immediately disappointed.

When she saw the safe again, her eyes lit up, and then she saw the safe open and was disappointed again.

"It seems that my luck didn't play any role."

Zhu Yu smiled and said:

"Who said that? You are very lucky and you have brought me good luck too, really!"

"Really?" Joanna didn't believe it. It's all worthless old stuff, equivalent to garbage.

Where did the good stuff come from?
