Chapter 35 Big Goods
The momentum of these five hundred knives is just right.
After Xu Youyou made the offer, no one followed up with a higher price.
The other people present also looked at Xu Youyou as if she was a fool.
"Five hundred dollars, it's hard to earn back." The Chinese guy whispered at the side.
Xu Youyou said casually: "Then just consider it as a happy purchase."
The Chinese guy was suddenly speechless.
The staff of the warehouse management company took a group of people to the next warehouse to be auctioned.
Xu Youyou also followed, but this time, she did not make any more bids until all the warehouses were auctioned off.
During this period, she also received several calls from Lu Jingyao's subordinates, saying that Lu Jingyao had been missing for a night.
Of course Xu Youyou didn’t know Lu Jingyao’s whereabouts. She hadn’t seen him for several days.
After the auction ended, she and several other Taobao buyers who had won the bid for the warehouse went to pay the money and get the key to the warehouse.
She could finally see what treasures were hidden in the warehouse she had photographed.
"Boss, do we have to take away so much garbage? The car can't fit it." said the bodyguard.
Xu Youyou shook her head: "Let me see if there is anything valuable in it first."
The two bodyguards Xu Youyou brought from China diligently took down the cardboard box placed high up and helped check if there were any valuables.
The local bodyguard hired by Xu Youyou put his hands in his pockets at this time: "Beauty, my job is to protect you, not to pick up trash."
Xu Youyou didn't care, she just said to the two bodyguards from China in Chinese: "Thank you for your help, I'll give you an extra 500 yuan each."
After hearing this, the two domestic bodyguards worked with more energy.
"A box of children's toys, most of them broken."
"This box contains broken pots and pans from the kitchen. They are not worth much."
Both bodyguards felt a little guilty. After all, they took more money from the boss but didn't find much valuables.
Xu Youyou didn't care and said, "It's okay, we just came out to have fun."
After going through seven or eight boxes, the goods were finally shipped.
"Boss, this might be valuable!" the bodyguard shouted excitedly.
Xu Youyou walked over quickly. That box should be the porcelain that the two white men had mentioned earlier.
Xu Youyou was already an expert in identifying porcelain. With just one glance, she knew that this set of so-called porcelain was just ordinary tableware.
Even in the tableware, it's not worth much.
After turning over several boxes, the bodyguard looked excited and shouted, "Boss, we've got a shipment! A huge shipment!"
The bodyguard carefully took out a bottle of wine from a cardboard box covered with a layer of dust in the corner of the warehouse.
"Boss, this is 30-year-old Moutai! This wine is very valuable in China, and it must be even more valuable in the foreign land!"
The bodyguard touched the dusty wine box with trembling hands.
Xu Youyou asked: "How much is this wine?"
"The domestic official price is 12,000 yuan per bottle, but if you want to buy it, you usually have to pay a higher price, so it costs at least 14,000 yuan a bottle."
Xu Youyou didn't know anything about liquor, so she asked, "Is this real liquor? I heard there are a lot of fake liquors on the market."
The bodyguard nodded: "It's true, there's no doubt about it!"
Another bodyguard said, "Boss, he is a drunkard, he won't be wrong."
The Jiumengzi bodyguard looked at the box over and over again. After seeing the production date, he said, "This was produced in 2016, so it's more valuable. This old one will sell for at least 16,000 yuan a bottle. If you're a little more ruthless, you can sell it for 20,000 yuan."
Xu Youyou took a look at the box. There were three bottles of the same wine. If she really sold them, the total amount would be six thousand US dollars.
"Oh, you're really lucky. I got such a big shipment of stuff. I'll take the loss, but I'll take it for three thousand dollars." The Chinese guy appeared out of nowhere and opened his mouth to buy Xu Youyou's wine.
Xu Youyou was not ignorant of the value of the goods. She shook her head vigorously: "Ten thousand US dollars, otherwise no deal."
She thought she had asked for too much, but she didn't expect the Chinese guy to agree so readily: "Okay, ten thousand is ten thousand! Once you say this, you can't regret it!"
Xu Youyou: ...Miscalculated!
She suffered because she didn't know the market situation of Moutai overseas.
"Can you still make money at this price?" Xu Youyou asked.
The Chinese guy smiled and said, "In the duty-free shop at the California airport, a bottle sells for $4,680. I can definitely make a profit at this price."
The words had already been spoken, and Xu Youyou had no intention of going back on her word.
The Chinese guy added, "But I'm not taking advantage of you. If I sell this wine, I can only make a few hundred dollars after paying taxes. If you sell it to me, I won't have to find a buyer myself. I'll treat you to dinner tonight. How about that?"
Xu Youyou shook her head: "Forget about eating. I'm not losing money on this business anyway."
She invested 500 US dollars in the warehouse auction and earned 10,000 US dollars. If she was really a Taobao person who specialized in warehouse auctions, she would probably have opened champagne to celebrate.
The Chinese guy changed his previous cunning behavior and took the initiative to say: "Do you want other things in this warehouse? If not, I will pay fifty dollars for everything, and you don’t have to worry about dealing with the garbage. How about it?"
Xu Youyou had already turned the warehouse upside down and didn't find many valuable things. She didn't want to go back to the hotel with a bunch of garbage, so she nodded.
After getting the money, Xu Youyou drove back to the hotel with three bodyguards.
The car stopped shortly after it drove out of the warehouse management company.
"The car seems to be broken down." said the driver.
The place where the car stopped was a narrow alley.
Before the driver could get out of the car to observe the situation, a group of people gathered around.
"Chink, did you make a lot of money? It just so happens that we guys are short of money." The freckled man came over with a group of people.
Xu Youyou took a quick look and saw that all of the dozen or so people were familiar faces, all of whom were Taobao users who had bid together with her before.
She immediately realized that the car stopped because they were probably doing something bad on purpose.
"Do you want to rob?" Xu Youyou asked.
The freckled man smiled and said, "I just need some money to spend. Don't make it sound so serious. Give us the $10,000 you got from selling alcohol today, and we'll let you go."
"Is every Taobao user who makes money targeted by you like this?" Xu Youyou asked.
The freckled man sneered: "You have too many questions, pay up quickly, or I'll kill you!"
Xu Youyou shouted directly: "Do it!"
The driver hid in the car and didn't dare to come out, but the other three bodyguards had already run out. The locally hired bodyguard directly pulled out his gun to warn.
“They had guns!”
The dozen or so people who surrounded them were so scared that they ran away in panic.
"A dozen people share 10,000 US dollars, and each person gets a few hundred? What are you risking your life for a few hundred dollars?" Xu Youyou said sarcastically.
The freckled man looked pale.
Xu Youyou didn't let him go. She grabbed him and kicked him hard several times: "You are the one who is always making trouble! Why are you barking like a dog all day long?"
The freckled man begged for mercy in a hurry: "Beauty, I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again!"
Xu Youyou wanted to kick a few more times, but she suddenly felt a chill on her back and a sense of crisis rose in her heart. The next second, her body tilted, and then she rolled on the ground and hid behind the nearest trash can.
But the freckled man who was particularly close to her was in bad luck. Xu Youyou dodged it, but he could not avoid it and had a bloody hole on his forehead.
Xu Youyou had no time to be afraid. The gunman hiding in the dark did not stop and fired several bullets in succession, all hitting the trash can next to her.
