MTL - American Warehouse Taobao King-Chapter 34 [Possibly Bordeaux wine]

  Baltimore is a port city. It is very open. Everyone gathers to Baltimore from all over the world. Most of them are immigrants, so they are not as exclusive as Philadelphia. Therefore, Yang Yong did not conflict with others, but a bunch of warehouse Taobao kings gathered together to chat, and the content of the chat required everyone to entangle with the auctioneer in the port storage area to the end.

  Because the Baltimore Warehouse Auction has an unwritten rule that everyone only has a short 30 seconds to watch the warehouse. No matter what you see in the warehouse, you have to step aside and give your spot to the next bidder. Therefore, every time the Port of Baltimore organizes an auction, the bidders participating in the auction will form an offensive and defensive alliance to fight against the auctioneers of the port. It is better to observe the things in the warehouse for a few more seconds, and it is better to have an accurate judgment, because there are many people and powerful forces, you pause for a few seconds, I pause for a few seconds, inside and outside is just watching 10 seconds of time, Enough bidders to see what's in the warehouse.

  Yang Yong felt very curious and very interesting. Baltimore people are really easy to get along with. Everyone is a competitor but chatting in private to form an offensive and defensive alliance. Isn’t this a contradiction. However, it has always been Yang Yong's survival criterion to obtain the greatest benefit at the least cost. Since an offensive and defensive alliance can be formed, Yang Yong must of course participate in it in exchange for the greatest benefit.

   So Yang Yong was very happy to see it happen. After 8:30, the auctioneer of the storage company walked out of the office and greeted everyone to register their personal information. This time, Harden rushed to the front, and Chris pushed a titanium alloy cart and pulled Yang Yongben behind the crowd towards Area A of the storage area of ​​the crate. The road in the port is very spacious, but once you enter the storage area A, the two-meter-wide aisle feels very depressing. There will be as many as 16 crates up for auction this time around, with crates of all sizes, the smallest being the size of a refrigerator. The largest crate is as big as 10 cubic meters, which is equivalent to half a container.

   There is only one crate cabinet that Yang Yong likes, and the volume of the medium-sized crate is only 5 cubic meters. That's right, 16 crates were auctioned, and Yang Yong only selected one crate. Due to the auction today, there are more than a dozen warehouses and more than 60 bidders. The scale is very large. It is not easy to squeeze into the middle. thing. Therefore, I can only appear when I can only stay at the back and watch the excitement while waiting for the No. 15 crate that I like to bid.

   After all, the weather was too hot, and the smell was quite unbearable when more than 60 people huddled together, and Yang Yong's nose was very sensitive, so he couldn't stand such a heavy sour odor, so he had to stay away. Wearing sun hats and sunglasses, sitting on a folding chair, drinking sweet green tea and occasionally secretly smoking a mini cigar.

   These crates are simple containers, and they won't carry any important items, but there are exceptions. For example, the No. 15 crate that Yang Yong likes is a very special crate. Because the wooden board above this crate cabinet is made of oak, which exudes the fragrance of oak, and the contents inside were observed by Yang Yong's perspective, but they were tightly wrapped with soundproof and light-proof tin foil, and there was a wooden box inside. , and some bottle-like stuff.

  Because Yang Yong's eyes observe the spectrum emitted by metal, any man-made material or natural wood product seems to be only able to identify the approximate shape from the fog to identify what the object is. Bottle-shaped things, except wine, Yang Yong couldn't think of anything to pack in a big bottle, and it was also wrapped in tinfoil to avoid direct sunlight.

The most important reason for Yang Yong's determination to sell this crate is that this crate was shipped to the United States from the Bordeaux region of France, and the time was only 7 months, and the storage period of this crate was is 6 months. In other words, this crate was shipped to Baltimore last fall, and the original owner of the crate was auctioned off a month after it expired.

   We introduced Yang Yong before that he smoked and drank in his teens, and he was very fond of drinking, and he did a lot of research on alcohol. This crate comes from Bordeaux, one of the three major producing areas of Bordeaux wine in France. When thinking about the items in the bottle, it can be anything other than red wine, so the No. 15 crate Yang Yong is determined to win.

   The auction went very fast. In the blink of an eye, the No. 10 crate had been auctioned. Only at this time did Yang Yong concentrate fully. A few minutes later, the auction proceeded to the No. 15 crate. The moment the cabinet was opened, everyone was covered because the cabinet was surrounded by a thick foam layer, and no one knew what was wrapped in the foam layer. Because there is no way to make an accurate judgment from the naked eye, some bidders with small metal detectors are also confused because apart from a few metal nails, they can no longer see that anything is a metal product.

   The cold market caused by the 15th for a while, the auctioneer could not help frowning. After observing for more than two minutes, he saw three and five bidders gathered together to discuss the No. 15 cabinet, and the atmosphere was very negative.

In order to arouse everyone's interest and desire to buy, the auctioneer could not help but lower the auction price from $200 to $100. When the viewing time was over, the staff of the storage company sealed the box and the auctioneer made a bid. Due to the crowd, the auctioneer had to shout loudly. way to bid, shouted hoarsely. "This is one from Bordeaux, the starting price of the shipping crate is $100, and the auction is now open,"

  This auctioneer is very experienced, and the word Bordeaux has hoisted the interest of many bidders. More than a dozen bidders scrambled to bid first, while Yang Yong waited and waited. When there were only one or two people left, it was a good time for a big name like Yang Yong to make a move. After all, heavyweight players will all appear in the finale. Yang Yong is this heavyweight, and he is not afraid of competition if he has sufficient funds. Sure enough, after 3 minutes of bidding, the price has been bid to 800 US dollars.

   At this time, Yang Yong made a bidding gesture to Harden. Harden, who had already been impatient, got into the core circle of the bidding like a tiger going down the mountain after receiving the instructions from the boss Yang Yong. The first shot was $100, and the price was raised from $850 to $950. At this time, only two bidders dared to compete with Yang Yong. After 4 rounds of auctions, the price was soared to $1,300 by Yang Yong's side. At this time, the two competitors were also intimidated by Harden's momentum and gave up bidding. In the end, Yang Yong bought the No. 15 crate for $1,300. The staff used a sprayer to mark the word sold on the front and back of the crate, proving that the crate had been sold.

   And Yang Yong was afraid that there would be an accident and let Chris use the iron chains, locks and other tools he brought to lock the inside and outside of the crate with three locks. After finishing these things, Yang Yong, who had a heart, let go of his worries and followed everyone to the warehouse area of ​​the fixed house in the port with a relaxed expression. These warehouses are closed warehouses with a term of more than one year, and a warehouse company will auction these expired warehouses due to time constraints. There are a total of 10 such large warehouses, and each warehouse has an area of ​​50 square meters, which is very large and the 10 expired warehouses are connected in a row of warehouses. When the first warehouse was opened, Yang Yong took a quick look at it with his clairvoyant eyes. Yang Yong gave up without any precious metal.
