Chapter 50: The pit of Cadillac
Cadillac, the most typical representative of American luxury cars, is also the pride of the old 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 3302 of the wind size, extremely imaginative bullet head dual taillights, exaggerated rocket tail, a lot of chrome decoration, large shield-shaped car logo, etc. Wait.
Many unique features all show the extraordinary origins of this Cadillac.
This is one of the masterpieces of Harry Earle, the father of automobile design in the late 1950s. Cadillac Series 6200, the fifth generation of the Series series, is also the most beautiful generation!
It has led the most brilliant rear wing design trend in the history of the American automobile industry. Since it, major brands have begun to compete in the most exaggerated rear wing design.
It can be said with certainty that this is definitely a generation of classic cars, which has a very important position in the history of automobiles in the United States and the world.
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, and it is called a post-war classic in China.
It seems that the person who released the warehouse news 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 position in the history of the automobile industry and the relatively low output of top luxury cars, it is also very expensive and very popular.
From the outside, the car is in good condition, there are no major defects, and there are no signs of impact or overhaul.
Although the paint is painted in some places, it is normal. After all, it is an old car for more than 60 years. This situation is inevitable.
As far as the car is currently seen, if it is sent to the auction house, there should be no problem with the auction of $100,000! It will be 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 see the heart of this classic car!
As long as its huge 6.0LV8 engine is still there and it can roar normally, then it has shot value, even if it costs tens of thousands of dollars.
On the other hand, if the heart is lost or does not work properly, then this is a model, and thousands of dollars will end.
Even if you count the tires, wheels, toolboxes, etc., the valuation of this warehouse will not exceed $12,000 at most.
After quickly scanning the whole car, Ye Tian turned his eyes to the front of the car, ready to check the engine.
Very smoothly, without any obstruction, the line of sight directly penetrated the hood, looking towards the position of the engine.
In the next second, Ye Tian was immediately dumbfounded!
Under the hood is empty, there is no shadow of the engine at all.
This is like the mummy seen through the Egyptian Pavilion. The internal organs of this car have also been completely hollowed out, leaving only a luxurious body.
Of course, this car didn't give me a strong sense of nausea.
Ye Tian reacted very quickly, and a sense of disappointment suddenly surged in his heart.
What a classic old car, but it's just an empty shell, which makes people happy.
Fortunately, the baseball collection from before has been used as the base, otherwise today it might really have gone for nothing.
After the disappointment, a funny smile flashed in his eyes.
I didn't know that the professional treasure digger would be **** mold for eight lifetimes, and would plunge one head into this bottomless pit.
No matter who photographed this warehouse, when he saw the situation under the hood, he believed that he would be vomited three times with anger. As for whether he died of anger, it depends on whether his heart is strong enough.
Do you want to accompany you to play and help raise the price?
Ye Tian has a slight movement.
This is a perfect pit, it seems a bit unreasonable if you don't take advantage of it, and I'm sorry for this godsend opportunity!
He made a decision soon.
can shoot, but the bid will never exceed 10,000 US dollars, so as not to overestimate others, and eventually jump into the pit by yourself, it would be laughable!
Then he immediately retracted his gaze and walked aside with Jason, waiting for the auction to begin to mess with others.
"Steven, are you ready to take a shot? Judging from the warehouse's performance, there is no doubt that it is indeed a classic car under the rainproof cloth. The news I received is correct.
If you don’t consider the conditions under the rain cloth and only use tires, wheels, and two toolboxes to evaluate, the value of this warehouse should be less than US$5,000.”
Jason said excitedly. While yearning for classic cars, he did not forget the task of evaluating second-hand goods.
"I will shoot, but I don't feel very good. I am not very optimistic about the situation under the rain cloth. This bidding must be very fierce and may not be won. It depends on the situation."
Ye Tian smiled back and gave an ambiguous answer.
Jason felt a little surprised.
Isn’t this like Steven’s auction style? Shouldn't it be inevitable and indomitable?
Although he was curious, he didn't ask any more, maybe there was something he didn't see!
After another two minutes, the visit finally ended and the auction started immediately.
All the bidders got excited, and started gearing up, preparing to go shopping. Everyone has an expression that belongs to me.
Jack is also very excited and can make a fortune again.
He stood at the door of the warehouse again, scanned everyone, and then said loudly:
"Gentlemen, the auction is now starting. Everyone has seen the situation of the warehouse. No one has any opinion on the starting bid of $800? Is there anyone asking for the price of $800?..."
As soon as the voice fell, someone responded immediately.
"Here"
The first bidder couldn’t wait to accept the price.
"Jack, $1,000"
Before Jack could speak, some people started to raise prices, obviously very eager.
"OK, Jeremy bid 1,000 dollars, now 1,200 dollars, 1,200, which gentleman will answer?"
Jack's voice was full of passion and resounded through the audience.
"1500 USD"
Welch took the shot and raised $300 on the basis of the quotation, which was a bit of a force.
"1800 dollars"
William raised his hand and shouted.
He is much calmer, his tone is calm, he is not sad or happy, he is a master.
The price soared very quickly, and it reached $3,000 in a blink of an eye.
All the people who joined in the excitement were cleared out, and the bidding has become a battle between professional treasure hunters.
Ye Tian kept watching coldly, and didn't participate. When he heard the 3,000 US dollar offer, he immediately smiled.
It's time to come in and play! It is too late to avoid even having no chance to participate, which will undoubtedly lose a lot of fun.
Thinking of this, he immediately raised his hand and said loudly:
"Jack, 5000 dollars"
After shouted the price, he smiled and nodded at the crowd, very polite.
But other people's responses are not very polite.
"Fak! It's this **** again! What a damn!"
"Why do you have him everywhere? What a **** stick"
When several major bidders heard Ye Tian join, their expressions changed a bit, and the pressure suddenly increased.
Since this **** is bidding, it means that he has to pay a higher price before he can win the warehouse.
Thinking of this, all the bidders suddenly felt a little bit of root itch, their eyes were full of anger, and they gave Ye Tian a fierce look.
This kind of unfriendly reaction from everyone was as early as Ye Tian's expectation. He didn't fight back, just smiled.
Where is this! There are even more powerful ones!
Others were annoyed, but Jack was very happy, and he wanted to hug Ye Tian and kiss him.
"This young gentleman bid 5000 US dollars, now 6000 US dollars, 6000, gentlemen, can anyone pick it up? Don't miss the opportunity!"
Jack's voice was obviously filled with joy.
US$5,000 is enough to knock out a group of people, and the number of bidders instantly dropped by half.
But there are a lot of deep pockets.
"Yay!"
Welch shot again, gritted his teeth and accepted the price.
At the same time as the price was offered, he glanced at Ye Tian fiercely, his eyes full of maliciousness.
But Ye Tian's response was a bright smile and a relentless price increase.
"8000 dollars, Jack!"
"Wow!"
There was another exclamation on the scene.
This price is in everyone's expectation, and the classic car warehouse in front of you is far more than this price.
But bidding methods like Ye Tian's drastic price increase make everyone feel frightened, although this is his usual practice, everyone has already seen it.
"idiot!"
Welch swore angrily.
"Mr. Welch, everyone will understand who is an idiot later, you don't have to rush to claim it!"
Ye Tian still smiled and quarreled with his opponent.
While talking, the warehouse price reached 9,000 dollars.
Hearing this offer, Ye Tian immediately called out the last offer.
"10,000 US dollars"
"This gentleman once again quoted 10,000 US dollars, now it is 12,000 US dollars, 12,000, does anyone respond?"
Jack shouted with joy. U U Reading www.uukanshu.com
After quoted the price, Ye Tian immediately felt relaxed and cheerful.
My own part of the scene is over, the next step is to watch the scene. It must be very enjoyable to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
After that, he began to chat with Jason in a low voice, with a relaxed expression.
"I withdrew from the competition, let them give this warehouse"
"Ah! Are you really not optimistic about this warehouse?"
Jason still feels surprised, this is a classic car warehouse, the main goal today!
Tell Ye Tian to give up this warehouse to someone else, but Jason didn't believe it.
"Yes, I really don’t care about this warehouse. Let’s watch the show and see who is the final winner? Or who is the final hapless one"
Ye Tian said with a smile, as if watching the excitement is not too much of a problem.
Two more rounds of quotations have passed.
Seeing that Ye Tian was not participating, Jack immediately cast an inquiring look. Ye Tian made a gesture of cutting his throat, indicating that he had withdrawn from the competition.
Seeing his actions, the rest of the bidders were relieved, and then they went to fight with others, everyone was fighting high!
The auction process is very fast. In just one minute after Ye Tian withdrew, the price has soared to $30,000.
At this price, the pockets of many professional treasure diggers have also bottomed out, and the auction has become a competition between three predators.
In the end, this so-called classic car warehouse fell for $38,000, and it was William who succeeded.
Obviously, he learned the lesson from last time, brought enough cash, and made a lot of sharp shots.
But he knew from there that he had sent the wrong force this time, and the result would be a bitter.
The moment the auction hammer fell, Ye Tian gave William a deep look.
"I hope you have a healthy heart and can withstand this severe blow!"
