Search for Treasure Worldwide Chapter 50: Cadillac’s pit
www.novelmao.com, the fastest update to the latest chapters of treasure hunting around the world!
Cadillac, the most typical representative of American luxury cars, is also the pride of the American automobile industry.
Cool and luxurious, this car instantly caught Ye Tian’s eyes.
Two-door convertible, boat-shaped body, length, width and height of 5715/2037/1427mm, wheelbase of 3302mm, extremely imaginative bullet-head double taillights, exaggerated rocket tail, a large number of chrome decorations, and a wide shield shape Car logos, etc.
Many unique features all point to the extraordinary origins of this Cadillac.
This is one of the masterpieces of Harry Earle, the father of automobile design, in the late 1950s. The Cadillac Series 6200 is the fifth generation of the Series series and the most beautiful generation!
It led the most brilliant rear wing design trend in the history of the American automobile industry. Since then, major brands have begun competing for the most exaggerated rear wing designs.
It can be said with certainty that this is definitely a classic car of a generation that plays a very important role both in the United States and in the history of the world’s automobiles.
Although it is very beautiful and fascinating, many people also call it a classic car, but unfortunately, this is not a classic car in the strict sense.
Because it was produced in the late 1950s, it should be called a prestige car in the United States, while in China it is called a post-war classic.
It seems that the person who released the warehouse information did not fully understand these nuances and misled everyone.
Even so, Ye Tian was not disappointed.
Although it is not a classic car, due to its special status in the history of the automobile industry and the relatively small production of top luxury cars, it also has a high price and is very popular.
From the outside, the car is in pretty good condition, with no major flaws and no signs of impact or major repairs.
Although the paint is scratched in some places, this is normal. After all, it is an old car that is more than 60 years old. This situation is inevitable.
Based on the current condition of the car, if it is sent to an auction house, it should be able to fetch US$100,000 without any problem! Even higher.
But whether it is a classic car or a prestige car, the prerequisite for valuation is that it can be used normally. Only in this way can it have value.
Next, it’s time to look at the heart of this classic car!
As long as its huge 6.0LV8 engine is still there and can roar normally, then it is worth selling, even if it costs tens of thousands of dollars.
Conversely, if the heart is missing or not functioning properly, that’s a model and thousands of dollars down the drain.
Even including the tires, wheels, tool boxes, etc., the estimated value of this warehouse will not exceed US$12,000 at most.
After quickly scanning the entire vehicle, Ye Tian turned his attention to the front of the vehicle, preparing to check the engine.
It went very smoothly, and his line of sight penetrated directly through the hood without any obstruction and looked at the location of the engine.
The next second, Ye Tian was stunned!
Under the hood is empty, there is no shadow of the engine at all.
Just like the mummy seen through perspective in the Egyptian Pavilion, the car’s internal organs have been completely eviscerated, leaving only a luxurious shell.
Of course, this car didn’t give me a strong sense of nausea.
Ye Tian reacted quickly and felt a sense of disappointment in his heart.
What a classic old car, but it is just an empty shell that makes people happy in vain.
Fortunately, I had the base of my previous baseball collection, otherwise today might have been a waste.
After being disappointed, a playful smile flashed in his eyes.
I didn’t know that that professional treasure digger would be so unlucky for eight lifetimes that he would fall headlong into this bottomless pit.
No matter who took the picture of this warehouse, when he saw the situation under the hood, I believe he would be so angry that he would vomit three liters of blood. As for whether he would die of anger, it would depend on whether his heart was strong enough.
Would you like to play with me and help raise the price?
Ye Tian was a little moved.
This is a perfect trap. It seems a bit unreasonable not to take advantage of it, and I would also be sorry for such a God-given opportunity!
He made his decision quickly.
You can make a move, but the bid should never exceed US$10,000, so as not to overestimate others and end up jumping into the pit yourself, which would be a joke!
Then he immediately withdrew his gaze and walked aside with Jason, waiting for the auction to start and mess up others.
“Steven, are you ready to take action? Judging from the performance of the warehouse, there is no doubt that there is indeed a classic car under the tarpaulin. The information we received before is correct.
If you do not consider the condition under the tarpaulin, and only value the tires, wheels, and two tool boxes, then the value of this warehouse should be within $5,000.”
Jason said excitedly. While he yearned for classic cars, he also did not forget the task of evaluating second-hand goods.
“I will take action, but I don’t feel very good. I’m not very optimistic about the situation under the tarpaulin. This bidding must be very fierce, and I may not win. It depends on the situation.”
Ye Tian replied with a smile and gave an ambiguous answer.
Jason felt a little surprised.
Isn’t this unlike Steven’s auction style? Shouldn’t we be determined to win and move forward inexorably?
Although he was curious, he didn’t ask any more questions. Maybe there was something he didn’t see!
After another two minutes, the tour finally ended and the auction began immediately.
All the bidders became excited and started gearing up, preparing to go shopping. Everyone looked like they were the ones who belonged to me.
Jack is also very excited, he can make a lot of money again.
He stood at the door of the warehouse again, glanced at everyone, and then said loudly:
“Gentlemen, the auction is now starting. Everyone has seen the situation in the warehouse. No one has any objections to the starting bid of 800 US dollars, right? 800 US dollars, anyone can bid?…”
As soon as he finished speaking, someone responded immediately.
“Here”
The first bidder eagerly accepted the price.
“Jack, $1,000”
Before Jack could say anything, someone started to raise the price, obviously very eagerly.
“OK, Jeremy offered $1,000, now it’s $1,200, 1,200, which gentleman will take it?”
Jack’s voice was full of passion and resounded throughout the audience.
“$1,500”
Welch took action and raised US$300 based on the quoted price, which seemed a bit overwhelming.
“$1800’
William raised his hand and shouted.
He acted much calmer, his tone was calm, neither sad nor happy, and he looked like a master.
The price soared very quickly, reaching $3,000 in the blink of an eye.
Everyone who joined in the fun has been eliminated, and the bidding has become a battle between professional treasure hunters.
Ye Tian had been watching with cold eyes and did not participate. When he heard the quotation of US$3,000, he immediately smiled.
It’s time to get in and have some fun! If you don’t act too late and don’t even have a chance to participate, you will undoubtedly lose a lot of fun.
Thinking of this, he immediately raised his hand and said loudly:
“Jack, $5,000”
After calling out the price, he smiled and nodded to everyone, very politely.
But others’ responses were less graceful.
“Fake! It’s this **** again! It’s so abominable!”
“Why is he everywhere? What a troublemaker”
When several major bidders heard that Ye Tian had joined, their expressions changed, and the pressure suddenly increased a lot.
Since this **** is bidding, it means that he has to pay a higher price to win this warehouse.
Thinking of this, all the bidders suddenly felt itchy, their eyes filled with anger, and they glared at Ye Tian fiercely.
Ye Tian had expected everyone’s unfriendly reaction, so he didn’t respond, just smiled.
Where is this? There is something even more powerful!
While others were annoyed, Jack was very happy and wished he could hug Ye Tian and give him a kiss.
“This young gentleman bids 5,000 U.S. dollars, now 6,000 U.S. dollars, 6,000, gentlemen, does anyone accept it? This opportunity is not to be missed!”
Jack’s voice was obviously full of joy.
$5,000 was enough to knock out a lot of people, and the number of bidders was reduced by half in an instant.
But there are also many with deeper pockets.
“Yeah!”
Welch took action again and accepted the price with gritted teeth.
While accepting the price, he glanced at Ye Tian fiercely, his eyes full of malice.
But Ye Tian’s response was a bright smile and a ruthless price increase.
“$8,000, Jack!”
“Wow!”
Exclamations echoed from the scene again.
This price is within everyone’s expectations, and the classic car warehouse in front of us is much more than this price.
But Ye Tian’s bidding method of drastically increasing the price makes everyone feel frightened, even though this is his usual method and everyone has seen it before.
“Idiot!”
Welch cursed angrily.
“Mr. Welch, everyone will understand who the idiot is later, so you don’t have to rush to claim it!”
Ye Tian still smiled and bickered with his opponent.
As we spoke, the warehouse price reached US$9,000.
Hearing the quotation, Ye Tian immediately called out the last quotation.
“$10,000”
“This gentleman once again quoted $10,000, now it is $12,000, 12,000, does anyone accept the offer?”
Jack shouted with joy.
After quoting the price, Ye Tian suddenly felt relaxed and happy.
After my part is over, the next step is to watch the show. It must be very enjoyable to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.
Afterwards, he began to laugh and chat with Jason in a low voice, looking quite relaxed.
“I’m quitting the competition, let’s give this warehouse to them”
“Ah! You really don’t like this warehouse?”
Jason still feels very surprised, this is a classic car warehouse, the main goal today!
Jason would not believe Ye Tian even to death if he told him to give this warehouse to others.
“Yes, I really don’t like this warehouse. Let’s watch the show and see who is the final winner? Or who is the unlucky guy in the end”
Ye Tian said with a smile, looking like he was just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.
Another two rounds of quotations have passed.
Seeing that Ye Tian did not participate, Jack immediately cast a questioning look. Ye Tian made a gesture of cutting his throat to indicate that he had withdrawn from the competition.
Seeing his actions, the other bidders breathed a sigh of relief, and then they started fighting with others. Everyone was very motivated!
The auction process was very fast. Just one minute after Ye Tian withdrew, the price had already reached 30,000 US dollars.
At this price, the pockets of many professional treasure diggers have bottomed out, and the auction has become a competition between three predators.
In the end, this so-called classic car warehouse was sold to William for $38,000.
Obviously, he learned the lesson from last time, brought enough cash, and his shots were much sharper.
But he knew that this time he used the wrong force, and what he would get would be a bitter result.
The moment the auction came down, Ye Tian took a deep look at William.
“I hope your heart is healthy and can withstand this severe blow!”
