Little Life on An American Ranch

  Chapter 23 Auction (2)

The two of them had just reached the door before they stood still, another middle-aged treasure hunter approached the two of them, and with the same move, he first introduced himself and then immediately said a few words of concern to the two of them, which led to the filming things.

"It seems to me that this is the first time for you to come to such a small auction. Let me remind you that those people are all veterans. If you and them are interested in the same one, my suggestion is to give it a shot or two. Add a little less price every time, check the situation first, if it’s not suitable, forget it, and just choose the next one. It’s too risky to buy a warehouse for a few hundred dollars, almost all of them are rotten things, and you can’t make a profit if you pay 300 yuan for a warehouse. These people are not very nice people, maybe they don't want the one you want, they just raise the price, drain the money in your pocket, and then they can buy what they want more smoothly !”.

   This one spoke more directly, as if he had confided in Jian Heng and Jim from the very beginning, and what he said seemed very reasonable, and also revealed some tricks for taking pictures.

   After hearing this, Jim glanced at Jian Heng and saw that Jian Heng didn't speak, so he closed his mouth and listened quietly to what this person said, and then figured out what this person meant.

   "Thank you, I'll pay attention to it." Jian Heng showed a harmless smile, with a hint of gratitude and shyness in the smile, and he performed a good expression on the expression of a young boy who just entered the industry.

Seeing the expression on Jian Heng's face, the man decided that Jian Heng was a rookie with little life experience, and immediately lost his mind and continued to circle around with Jian Heng, pretending to be alert and looked around, then lowered his voice and said to Jian Heng : "I've taken a fancy to No. 27, how about you?"

   "No. 30 is my favorite!" Jian Heng said.

Hearing Jian Heng say No. 30, this man thought for a while, and then said earnestly: "It is estimated that the price you want to take down will not be lower. The original owner of the warehouse has pretty good information. There are many people robbing it. A few hundred may not be enough to eat, it may be more than a thousand."

  Hearing what the man said, Jian Heng smiled: "Shoot if it suits you, release it if it doesn't suit you."

   "It's like this, the smartest way in our business is to know when to let go and when to catch!" The man looked at Jian Heng and said as if he had just come.

   "Good luck to you too!" Jian Heng didn't want to continue chatting with this guy, and after saying something to him, he and Jim walked towards the door.

  After getting a little distance from the crowd, Jim smiled at Jian Heng: "These people actually sell such a small idea in front of us, interesting, very interesting!"

   "I thought we were rookies!" Jian Heng grinned, looking like a rookie.

   Seeing the smile on Jian Heng's face, Jim followed his gaze and found that the person who had just returned was laughing at Jian Heng. He couldn't help but turned his head and laughed secretly twice.

  What does Jian Heng do? What I ate was Tuo'er's bowl of rice. It's okay to deceive a rookie with their little tricks, but want to deceive Jian Heng? That's just delusional. Although the Morgan family's auction house is not very popular, it is still an auction house if it is not popular. If you are a babysitter, you have to watch all directions and listen to all directions, and you have to speculate on other people's thoughts.

Like whether the opponent really wants it, what kind of price he can accept, and what is the maximum price he can bear psychologically, these are all things that a good nurse should consider, not only these, but also learn from facial expressions and body movements To speculate on how much the opponent will give up, this is the basic quality that a qualified nursery should possess.

  If you don't have these hands, you can't eat this bowl of rice, and Morgan won't invite Jian Heng.

  The two of them got straight to the point as soon as they came up with a few sentences, and they went straight to the point. This kind of method is not even up to the standard of kindergarten in the childcare industry. How can they deceive Jian Heng.

But you can’t blame them, these people are doing street jobs, usually simple and straightforward, it’s understandable if the job is a little rough, and the people who do this job don’t have much high education, so it’s okay to be superficial. That's enough for them.

  Jian Heng also knows that they just want to deceive the following new entrants, or ordinary people who are interested in photographing. As for the veterans in the industry, they will not waste their time inquiring, and they will not tell.

   Just like now, when Jian Heng was giggling, there were a few veterans over there laughing and chatting, and it was obvious at a glance that they were talking nonsense rather than serious business.

  Let’s put it this way, these two people playing this in front of Jian Heng and Jim can be said to be a big knife at the door of Guan Gong!

   "Playing?" Jim looked back at the gang.

   "It's just a matter of playing a little bit and letting them retreat when they face difficulties. It doesn't make sense to let others take advantage of it," Jian Heng said.

  Here, Jian Heng refers to the person who rented the warehouse, and the money fell into his own pocket, so why bother to help others. Jian Heng is not very interested in things that have not been paid for his efforts.

  Jim shrugged his shoulders and stopped talking.

   "By the way, what do you want from me?" Jian Heng asked.

  Jim remembered that he had something to do with Jian Heng.

   "Is Benny okay at your house?" Jim asked.

  Hearing the name Benny, Jian Heng couldn't help being stunned for a moment. After thinking for two seconds, he didn't remember what Benny was and why he was in his own home.

   Seeing Jian Heng's blank face, Jim immediately explained: "Rabbit, the rabbit you adopted last time! Its name is Benny! It won't die, will it?"

When Jian Heng heard that it was a rabbit, he finally understood: "A rabbit is a rabbit, what are you doing Benny, Benny! You are not dead, you are alive and well, I don't know what you did, it is obviously a good rabbit , After feeding the carrots for a few days, they are alive and kicking!"

   Without waiting for Benny to suspect, Jian Heng came up here to beat him up first, relying on the fact that the rabbit was not alive because others did not feed it. This method is much easier to get out than explaining later.

Sure enough, when Jim heard this, his attention immediately shifted from surviving the rabbit to defending himself: "How is it possible, we are a shelter for the public good, not only monitoring, but also New York City inspectors come to check regularly, It is impossible for us to abuse rabbits!"

"Then how do you explain this? He was alive and kicking within a few days after arriving at my house, and now he will go to heaven if he doesn't get a cage!" What Jian Heng said is true, this rabbit is really against the sky, Just eating alone is quite unbearable. If you want to eat whatever you want, you can eat all the plastic in your stomach and there is nothing wrong with it. I don’t know what the intestines are made of.

   "Then I'll go see Benny in a while!"

  Jim was a little uncertain about this. Obviously the rabbit was dying, so why did it come back to life?

  This time Jim wanted to ask if the rabbit was dead. If it was dead, he would get another one for Jian Heng. A litter of pretty long-haired rabbits came to the shelter yesterday.

  Jim originally planned this way, but now this incident made him scratch his head a little. It makes no sense that the shelter could not handle Jian Heng, a rookie, who actually feeds the dying rabbit.

   "It's not Benny anymore, it's Erhu!" Jian Heng said.

   Erhu is pronounced in Chinese and is naturally Chinese. When Jian Heng speaks the word Erhu, he speaks authentic Mandarin.

   "Er Hu?! Benny's new name?" Jim immediately thought the name was interesting, so he read along.

  Jian Heng said: "It's not Erhu, it's Erhu, Er is TWO, Hu is TIGER, read with me, Erhu!"

   "Huh," Jim read.

  Seeing that Jim couldn't straighten his tongue, Jian Heng gave up simply: "Forget it, Erhu, let's be Erhu."

   "Erhu, Erhu, two-tiger? Why is a rabbit called two tigers?" Jim babbled on for a while, puzzled and then asked Jian Heng.

  Jian Heng didn't have the heart to answer his nonsense question, just at this time, a fat woman came out from the guard room. As soon as the woman came out, those treasure hunters seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, and their eyes lit up immediately.

   Jian Heng knew that this woman was the guest auctioneer for this temporary auction.

Sure enough, the woman took two steps to the door, with something like a record book in her hand, she flipped through a few pages and closed it again, looking at the people who started to gather around her and said: "Many people know the rules, I think There are also some new faces. Let me tell you the rules here. The main thing is to buy a house and pay immediately. bricks, they are legally yours too!”.

  The woman's words immediately caused chuckles from the people around her.

"And we guarantee that these things have not been touched after the original owner left, so after opening the warehouse, you have a minute to make sure. If anyone has an objection, and the things in the warehouse have not been touched, they can appeal, expired or obviously messed up. Those who have touched the contents inside will not be able to appeal!" The woman said.

   It seems that this woman is also a veteran. She doesn't stutter at all when she speaks, and goes through the rules in two minutes like a machine gun.

   After speaking, the woman looked at the audience: "Is there anyone else who wants to ask?"

   "No, hurry up and start, we are still waiting to make money!"

   "MONEY! MONEY! Everything smells like money"

  As soon as the woman finished speaking, the scene immediately became lively.

   "If you don't have anything to say, I wish everyone good luck!" The woman smiled and led a group of people inside.
