At 7:30 in the morning, Ye Tian and Jason left the car rental company and drove their pickup truck straight to Manhattan.
"This car is awesome, no worse than the Raptor. I like it very much!"
Jason was still conducting reviews while driving.
Old Americans have an almost paranoid love for pickup trucks. Among the best-selling models in the United States, pickup trucks are number one, number two, and number three. The Ford F-Series has been at the top of the list of best-selling models for thirty consecutive years and has never wavered!
In the Midwest, half of the roads on the road are pickup trucks. This is always the first choice for people to buy a car, and Jason from Kentucky is no exception.
After commenting, Jason asked enthusiastically:
"Stephen, should you buy a car? You can't go on a warehousing treasure hunt without a car! Not only do you have to run around, but you also have to load goods."
Ye Tian nodded and responded:
“It’s very inconvenient not to have a car. I really should buy one, just for a day or two, but I haven’t decided whether to buy a van or a pickup truck.”
"Of course it's a pickup truck. This is a man's car. It's strong, powerful and solid!"
Jason immediately gave advice.
“I prefer a van. This is New York, not the Wild West. Driving a pickup truck to transport goods is too ostentatious, and a van is more concealed.
And I plan to install two safes in the car to temporarily store valuable small antiques and works of art. The pickup truck cannot meet this requirement, but the cargo inside is fine."
Ye Tian talked about his thoughts.
He plans to convert the car into a temporary warehouse, which will make it easier to hunt for treasure. He can travel to multiple places in a day without being **** by one harvest.
Jason thought for a while and felt that what Ye Tian said made sense, then nodded and said:
"OK! You are the boss, you decide!"
……
It didn't take long for the two to arrive at Manhattan's Peter Cooper and drove into the stadium where the community auction was being held.
This is an open-air basketball court located in a corner of the community. It has more than a dozen fields and a relatively large area. It was temporarily requisitioned today and used as an auction venue.
Community auctions are a unique community culture in the United States.
After negotiation, residents living in the same community choose a day, usually a summer weekend morning, to sell their unused items at the door of the garage.
The items auctioned are generally daily necessities, which are not worth much, but they are better if sold than left idle or thrown away, so the prices are very low.
Some good stuff is often found here, too, and antiques and works of art are not uncommon.
Especially in a high-quality community like Peter Cooper, most of the residents are middle-class people with some wealth, there are also invisible millionaires, and there are also young Wall Street talents with high incomes, so there are definitely a lot of good things.
The auction is announced in advance to attract people to come and hunt for treasures. Americans are also very happy to participate in community auctions, and many people are even addicted to it.
In addition to ordinary people, professional treasure hunters will not miss this kind of auction. Every auction day, treasure hunters will gather in these communities to look for opportunities to make money.
The reason why today's community auction is in the stadium is because this is Manhattan, land is very expensive, and it is impossible for every house to have a garage, so it is auctioned together.
The auction has begun, and the scene is very lively and full of people! There are many professional treasure hunters among them, and some of them are familiar faces.
After parking the car, Ye Tian and Jason quickly walked into the auction house.
The appearance of Ye Tian immediately attracted the attention of some treasure hunters at the scene.
He has been a hotly discussed figure in the warehouse auction circle in the past two days, especially those who have participated in the Smithsonian Warehousing Company's auction, who are even more impressed by him.
As soon as I walked into the stadium, before I even started my treasure hunt, someone came up to say hello.
"Hey! Good morning, Steven, good morning! Jason"
It’s a familiar face, and also the bidding rival in the last round, Haiwen.
There were two or three treasure hunters beside him who he had never seen before. They were all looking at Ye Tian, their eyes full of curiosity and envy.
"Good morning! Haiwen, I didn't expect to meet you here. I'm glad to see you!"
Ye Tian turned his head and looked at it, and immediately said hello to Haiwen with a smile.
After chatting casually for a few words, Haiwen asked enthusiastically:
"Steven, those two auction announcements issued by Sotheby's, Slash's double-headed piano and a large number of Ferrari models, should they all come from you, right?"
"Yes, I did send it to Sotheby's. The things came from the two Smithsonian warehouses"
Ye Tian smiled and nodded in recognition.
This matter has been completely spread and cannot be denied at all.
Sotheby's auction house needs to verify the legal identity of the lot, so it will inevitably contact Smithsonian Warehousing Company to ask for relevant information.
When the Smithsonian Company learned the news, how could they let go of this highly publicized opportunity? The news quickly spread throughout the warehouse auction circle, leaving everyone stunned.
"Wow! You are such a lucky guy!"
Hearing Ye Tian's affirmative reply, Haiwen immediately let out a burst of admiration.
At this time, his eyes were red with envy, and his heart was riddled with holes and bleeding!
Millions of dollars! Who wouldn't feel distressed if it just slipped past your hand?
The other treasure hunters were the same, with envy, jealousy and hatred in their eyes!
After saying a few more useless polite words, Ye Tian said goodbye and left. He and Jason walked to the auction stall not far away and started today's treasure hunt.
Looking at Ye Tian's leaving back, Haiwen could no longer suppress his emotions and began to curse in a low voice, even wanting to slap himself.
"Fake! I am such a **** idiot! I missed so many treasures and let this kid get a huge advantage! Damn it! Unforgivable!"
"Haven, forget it! This windfall is destined not to belong to you! I have learned about the situation that day. Even without this kid, you can't beat the two old foxes White and William!"
Another treasure hunter offered words of advice.
Although he said this, his eyes were equally full of envy and regret.
Why didn’t you go to that auction? Maybe I’ll have a chance to make a fortune too!
After suppressing his feelings of regret and jealousy for a while, Haiwen looked at Ye Tian’s back and said fiercely:
"This kid has such a sharp eye! It has only been a while, and he has already found several treasures. Come on, follow him and see what he buys today. If we have a chance, we will take action. Maybe we can make a fortune!"
The people next to him immediately shook their heads and directly rejected his proposal.
“Forget it, don’t you know that Garcia and the others were tricked by this kid? One after another, they have become a joke in the warehouse auction circle. I don’t want to feel the feeling of being humiliated!”
"This guy is too shrewd and cunning! It's hard to take advantage. Let's proceed as planned and don't make things worse!"
Hearing the words of the two friends, Haven's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately thought of what happened to Garcia and the others.
"I am not a fool like Garcia and others, there is no way I will be fooled!"
Haiwen wanted to give up, but he didn't give in.
In the blink of an eye, he completely gave up the idea of competing. No one wants to be regarded as a fool by others, and he is no exception. It is not very honorable to be the laughing stock of the auction world!
At this time, a friend next to me pointed at the very busy auction house and said:
"Don't argue with a rookie, maybe he is just lucky. Let's go and start treasure hunting! Maybe you can find better treasures and make a lot of money!"
Afterwards, Haiwen and his friends walked into the auction house and began to hunt for treasures with full of envy and jealousy. Everyone had a dignified enthusiasm on their faces!
Hai Wen gave up the idea of following Ye Tian, but others may not think so.
A little further away, there are two treasure hunters paying attention to Ye Tian, one of whom also appeared at the Smithsonian Warehousing Company auction site.
Seeing that Ye Tian and Jason had started hunting for treasure, they immediately followed them.
"Jermaine, be sure to keep an eye on this Chinese guy. If we see something good, we'll take action. Maybe we can make a fortune today!"
“OK! Let’s make money!”
……
Ye Tian didn't realize at this time that he had been targeted and was quickly scanning the stalls inside.
Since we are dealing with household items that are unused, there are generally not many things on the stalls, and they can basically be scanned at a glance.
As long as Ye Tian passes by a stall and glances at it and finds that there are no antiques or valuable works of art, he will leave immediately. As for the cheap second-hand goods, he doesn't even need to look at them, so he goes very quickly.
This surprised Jason next to him, but he didn’t say anything and just followed.
In a few minutes, Ye Tian had passed nearly ten stalls.
This made the two tails hanging behind him look a little stunned.
"Fake! Are you here to hunt for treasure? Why do you look like you are here to go shopping? The speed is too fast!"
"Don't worry about him! I believe this kid will never come here to hang out after eating enough. He must be here to hunt for treasures. Although he is very fast, he does not miss every stall and will take a look twice. , must be looking for something! "
After exchanging a few words, the two tails immediately followed firmly.
Soon, smiles appeared on their faces.
After scanning the twelfth stall, Ye Tian stopped and began to check the goods on the stall.
His eyes under his sunglasses were already flashing with surprise and a bright and dazzling red light.
Obviously, there were antiques between one hundred and three hundred years old appearing in front of him!
