Chapter 700: Fake nanmu bed

The man holding the separate hydraulic clamp is about forty years old. This is the host of this auction.
Unlike the usual white gloves in the auction house, he is wearing the overalls of the storage company, with a folder under his arm.
Seeing people gathered around him, he waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and said to himself: "Welcome to the auction site of our company today. There are six warehouses auctioned today, all of which are small warehouses. I hope everyone will remember. The rules of the auction. Everyone can observe for 30 seconds. They are not allowed to enter the warehouse or touch any items inside. If they violate the rules, they will be driven out of the auction site. Do you understand?"
As soon as the auctioneer spoke, Xiao Peng determined the difference between the auctioneer here and the regular auctioneer. Their speech was so fast that it made people feel that they didn't care if anyone took the picture.
"Hamilton, we all know what you said, let's get started, my banknotes are already hungry and thirsty!" There was a shout from the crowd, and it was a local Taobao person who knew the auctioneer.
The auctioneer nodded and looked at the documents in the Kanban folder. He came to a warehouse numbered 102 and cut off the padlock on the door with hydraulic pliers: "The first warehouse, number 102, everyone can observe three Ten seconds, line up to see, no timeout is allowed!" Seeing the crowd lined up, the auctioneer directly pushed up the rolling door, and people directly saw the scene in the house, and the crowd suddenly cried out.
I saw a big bed placed against the wall, and some storage boxes were placed on the bed. There was a layer of dust on the bed, but its golden color could still be seen. The bed is beautifully carved with traditional Chinese style. Everyone's eyes were instantly attracted by this bed, and they stopped observing other things in the room. In fact, there are many neat storage boxes in the house, which makes it seem that the original owner of the warehouse is a very organized person.
Xiao Peng didn't follow Martin to see the situation in the warehouse. He was sitting in the shade of a tree to enjoy the cool. Anyway, he was just a porter, wasn't he?
The California sun is no joke. But if he doesn't go there, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know what's inside. The Mind clone has already observed it carefully.
When he saw the big bed, Xiao Peng frowned. Looking at the contents of the locker, Xiao Peng frowned even more. He stood up and walked to Martin. After reading all the things in the warehouse, he stood aside. Two or three people discussed their findings in a quiet voice before deciding how to set a price.
Martin saw Xiao Peng coming and smiled at Xiao Peng: "Xiao, you don't know what we found in the warehouse, a big nanmu bed from your hometown. And it looks like this is a year old thing! You! Go and take a look!"
In fact, Xiao Peng had already finished looking at the things in the warehouse, but he still pretended to carry a flashlight and ran to the back of the line to wait in line to see. Who knew that a middle-aged white man in a dog-head T-shirt directly snorted coldly: " Boy, go ahead?"
"Huh?" Xiao Peng was puzzled, but the middle-aged white man said, "What qualifications do you have to look behind? Go ahead! Nick, it seems that we should talk to the association. The threshold for this industry is too low. You can meet such an idiot."
The one at the back of the team called Nick said: "Don't talk to those mentally handicapped races, the evolution has not been completed, what do you expect them to do?"
When Xiao Peng heard this, he stopped and looked at Nick and said faintly, "I can't do anything except make your wife pregnant. Wow, I look back now, she is as sweet and delicious as a donut. !"
"What did you kid say?" Nick glared at Xiao Peng, posing a posture to start with Xiao Peng.
Xiao Peng looked indifferent: "Are you sure you want to do it? I don't care. I was here to open my eyes. When the time comes, we will be expelled together to see who loses more?"
"You..." Nick wanted to say something, but Xiao Peng directly waved his hand: "If you don't dare to do it, shut up! People like you are the most annoying, they will only be squeaky and crooked. Fortunately, you haven't drunk, can you make people doubt life after drinking?" Xiao Peng didn't care about their answers after speaking, and went straight to the front row of the team, not making the back row better.
This is also a feature of warehouse auctions, that is, the more you observe later, the better. When others observe, you can also observe the situation inside, and you can also hear the conversations of the people in front. Human discovery. Therefore, local treasurers are generally ranked at the back, the more they are at the back, the higher their status. That Nick should be the one with the highest status among the local Taobao people.
How to divide status? It's even simpler. Whoever makes more money is the boss. In this industry, it is so simple and rude.
Xiao Peng was so happy that he ran to the front and took a look, and ran directly to the Martin couple. Martin saw Xiao Peng coming and said with excitement in a low voice: "How does it feel to see your Huaxia stuff here? This should be your ancient Chinese, right? I know that you Chinese people have many dynasties, such as the Tang, Qing, Song, and Western Zhou dynasties, and you ancient Chinese people like to use nanmu to make furniture. This should be a great harvest ."
Xiao Peng smiled and asked curiously, "Martin, do you know China well?"
Martin looked proud: "To do a warehouse Taobao, you must know more about it. Otherwise, it would be the biggest pity to see good things being missed. If this bed is intact, it can sell for at least two thousand. U.S. dollars, so as long as I only need one thousand dollars to win, I can make a profit, and there are so many suitcases, what if something good comes out again?"
Xiao Peng shrugged: "Martin, if I were you, I would never photograph this warehouse."
Martin asked, "Why?"
Xiao Peng whispered: "That was definitely not from the Western Zhou Dynasty, at most it was from last week. It is a fake."
If it was other wood, Xiao Peng would definitely not understand, but nanmu? Didn’t it just hit the gun? The furniture in Xiao Peng’s home is made of nanmu gloomy wood. When he got the wood, Xiao Peng deliberately studied nanmu, and this bed is not nanmu furniture, but a layer of nanmu, which is a common furniture fraud. means.
Martin was stunned after hearing this: "No? You look at the warehouse. The storage boxes inside are neatly stacked, and they are all high-end cloth storage boxes. At first glance, the owner is a well-organized person who has a clear life. The economic conditions are good."
Xiao Peng shook his head, "Martin, as you said just now, those storage boxes are all fabric storage boxes, so many stacked together, but there is no deformation, it can only show that there are no heavy objects in these storage boxes. , Or it’s small sundries, or clothes, shoes and hats, do you think it might be a precious thing? Unless it’s all luxury goods, do you think it’s possible?"
Mrs. Martin listened to Xiao Peng's words, thought for a while and nodded to Martin and said, "Xiao has a point."
Martin stopped talking now. Xiao Peng saw that Sean, who was standing not far away, was also discussing pricing with his friends. It happened that Sean also saw himself, smiled and nodded to Xiao Peng, but Xiao Peng shook his head. Shook his head.
Sean was taken aback, Xiao Peng pointed at the opened warehouse, and then shook his head, beckoning him not to bid. Sean said that his mouth was a bit stinky, but he had a good attitude towards himself, please help him.
Sure enough, Sean saw Xiao Peng's movements and thought about it on the spot. Xiao Peng stopped talking when he saw him like this. After all, he did everything he should do. Believe it or not, that was his business.
Martin was still a little bit unwilling to give up: "Xiao, are you sure that it is a fake?"
Xiao Peng smiled and said: "Martin, you all said that Huaxia people like to use nanmu to make furniture. I am Huaxia, can I not understand nanmu? If I talk nonsense, what good will it do for me?"
Martin thinks about it, this is the same reason, and his wife whispered: "Let's abandon this warehouse."
Mrs. Martin nodded: "Well, I believe in Xiao's eyes."
After more than ten minutes, all the talents were observed, and the auctioneer named Hamilton said directly: "Since everyone has finished watching, then we will conduct this auction. Please remember that everything here is cash transactions and transfers are not supported. Checks are not supported. Okay, now everyone starts bidding, warehouse 102, the reserve price is one hundred dollars, now start bidding!"
Xiao Peng was a little surprised when he heard the price, one hundred dollars was also a little bit. . . . . . Too high!
This warehouse auction sounds high-end and high-end. It’s called an auction. In fact, it is equivalent to processing waste. After all, most warehouses are waste products. Generally speaking, 80% of the warehouses are sold at a price of less than 500 US dollars. , Especially small warehouses and pocket-sized warehouses, it has reached about 95%.
The average starting price of a small warehouse can reach fifty dollars, which means that there are good things in it. And this small warehouse started directly with a hundred dollars, and there is no doubt that the bed makes a profit.
The price has been rising constantly. Everyone has seen this bed and knows that this bed can be sold for at least two thousand dollars. If it is an antique again, it will be developed! It is precisely because of this that the price has risen rapidly, and soon, the price has reached 1,500 US dollars! According to Martin's algorithm, if this bed can really sell for two thousand dollars, the profit is not high. Nick is a local, so he can save a fortune in transportation expenses. That would be a profit of one hundred and two hundred dollars. .
But Xiao Peng thought about it, and understood why Nick did it. As long as the bed is real, then he won’t lose money. He will take it as a gambling, whether there are any valuables in the glove box. I'm betting, if this bed is antique, it will be developed.
And there are local Taobao people, so naturally they have the pride of local Taobao people, right?
