The staff explained that this is a container from a private storage, it has been in the warehouse for over half a year, and currently, it is unclaimed, unable to contact the owner, they could only deal with it privately, inside there might also be a collection of a wealthy person.
Treasure Hunters tried to make a bid, "2000 US dollars."
The bearded man in a baseball cap also made a bid, "2500 US dollars."
The two competed, and another person joined in midway, quickly bringing the price up to 5500 US dollars.
Then no one wanted to continue bidding.
Seeing this, the staff could only start the countdown, "5500 US dollars once, 5500 US dollars twice..."
Just when the bearded man thought he could secure this container at this price, the General Sect Leader also decided to make a move.
The bearded man looked at the General Sect Leader in surprise, then also made a bid, "6200 US dollars."
Allen Zhang smiled slightly: "6300 US dollars."
"6500 US dollars." The rightful source is novel⟡fire.net
The price went all the way up to 7000 US dollars. Seeing that the General Sect Leader was dead set on it, looking like he wouldn’t give up until he won the container, the bearded man was speechless.
Feeling that his luck today was really bad, he waved his hand and directly chose to give up bidding.
"Buddy, you can have this broken container. There can only be one valuable container in each storage area, and someone just got items worth tens of thousands of dollars, there can’t be other items. Good luck to you."
The bearded man then turned and left.
Allen Zhang watched the bearded man turn away and signaled the staff to continue the countdown.
"7000 US dollars once, 7000 US dollars twice, 7000 US dollars three times! Sold! Congratulations sir, you’ve successfully purchased this container from private storage, please process the payment and handle the items, and there will also be a cleaning fee of 200 US dollars."
Allen Zhang was well-practiced at this and directly chose to pay 7000 US dollars in cash.
Then he started to clear the goods in the container.
A rabbit toy, worth at most 5 dollars, not valuable, pocketed it.
A kerosene lamp from the last century? Not valuable.
Allen Zhang put it aside. He then found a photo frame in the container, looked at it, it was a family portrait, apparently a personal collection of the wealthy, the photos were even in black and white.
He then found a lot of scattered items, and finally, from a sealed box, he found a large photo frame, tore open a corner of the packaging, and indeed saw an oil painting.
Considering there were quite a lot of people around, Allen Zhang didn’t expose it, he directly took the photo frame to the staff and paid the cleaning fee.
"Sir, you don’t want these items?" The storage staff was surprised, glanced at the items in the container, although not very valuable, losing everything, but at least could be worth 40-80 dollars, could also recoup some cost if sold to recycling.
"I already spent seven thousand dollars, but there is nothing inside, only this painting might be worth a few hundred dollars, these items are useless to me, they would only irritate me, you guys handle them for me." Allen Zhang acted convincingly, looking completely frustrated.
Seeing this, the staff also immediately soothed: "It’s all about luck and personal judgment with container blind boxes, although you didn’t get what you wanted this time, perhaps next time you might strike it rich! We have another batch of storage containers coming up next, are you interested in signing up to participate?"
"If you are willing to refund the registration fee to me, I think I might be interested." Allen Zhang said with a smile.
"Sir, the registration fee is an entrance ticket that everyone pays, whether or not the container blind box is auctioned, whether profit or loss, there are no refunds." The staff member immediately declined it kindly.
Allen Zhang waved his hand and walked away. Others, including the bearded man who initially competed with the General Sect Leader, seeing that the General Sect Leader had lost everything, also felt fortunate that they didn’t buy the container.
Muttering: "Those church fortune tellers aren’t reliable either, I even spent 50 US dollars to have them predict that I would make a fortune today. All fake! Just fooling people!"
The more he thought, the angrier he got, directly turned, and left the container auction area to settle accounts at the church.
The General Sect Leader left the Southern Port container area, took out his phone, and called the Beggar Gang Disciples at Old Pick Auto Repair Shop to come and pick him up.
They arrived driving the General Sect Leader’s Lamborghini Evo after waiting on the roadside for about ten minutes.
It’s been days since I touched this thing.
Since driving this car back, it seems to have been driven only once? Even the Jeep that the General Sect Leader previously loved is now rarely touched.
Allen Zhang also admitted that he is a man who loves new things and quickly tires of the old, but there was no helping it, the Rolls-Royce is just too enticing, quite prestigious, with spacious and comfortable seating.
Originally, the General Sect Leader thought about selling this Lamborghini, but Jennifer and Erin quite liked it, after considering, Allen Zhang decided not to chase after that two hundred thousand dollars.
Sitting in the passenger seat, he instructed the Beggar Gang Disciple: "Go to George Pawnshop."
"OK." The Beggar Gang Disciple immediately started the Lamborghini. The engine roared, speeding through the streets, drawing a lot of attention, with many onlookers, especially some street girls, turning their heads to watch.
