From the door to the inside of the container, there are porcelains everywhere.

Porcelain in boxes.

At a glance, most of the porcelain placed at the door had damage, either a corner was missing or there was a crack.

There were more than a dozen boxes of porcelain inside that were intact.

Although Logan Zhu is a Chinese, his knowledge of porcelain is limited to that of an ordinary person.

These porcelains don't look like modern products, they look a bit like ancient porcelain.

But the quantity is quite large.

If it is ancient porcelain, even if it is damaged, such a large quantity would be a considerable fortune.

Why did the owner of this container abandon these porcelains?

This doesn't make sense!

But no matter what, Logan Zhu wanted to give it a try and take a picture!

As soon as the container was opened, the people crowded at the door looked at the porcelain and immediately turned their attention to Logan Zhu and the other Asian woman who had followed and taken a picture of the first container.

Logan Zhu understood.

After all, porcelain is equivalent to China.

These people have already regarded themselves and the other woman as strong competitors.

In recent years, because Chinese people have repurchased a large number of antiques from overseas, many people overseas have come to realize that ancient Chinese items are also very valuable.

Ming and Qing dynasty porcelain that used to cost just a dozen or dozens of dollars at the flea market now costs thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars!

Some people even increase the price by ten or even dozens of times as soon as they see someone with a Chinese face buying something.

It feels like the Chinese are being taken advantage of.

Therefore, when the auctioneer set the reserve price at three hundred dollars and Logan Zhu quoted three hundred fifty dollars, the seven or eight people participating in the auction raised the price to one thousand one hundred dollars one by one!

Logan Zhu was very surprised.

The Asian woman looked at the porcelain carefully and then made an offer:

"One thousand five hundred dollars!"

Logan Zhu thought about it and also made an offer:

"Two thousand dollars!"

He offered an extra five hundred dollars just to scare off some competitors.

Sure enough, this method worked.

Some auctioneers who didn't understand the situation immediately stopped bidding.

"Two thousand one hundred dollars." But there were still two bidders who were not prepared to give up.

"Two thousand three hundred!"

"Three thousand!" This time, the one who raised the price drastically was the Asian woman.

Logan Zhu was a little surprised. This Asian woman seemed determined to get these porcelain pieces.

Logan Zhu looked at these porcelains again and felt that they were covered with something and were not as clear as ordinary porcelains.

"Thirty-five hundred dollars!" a female voice suddenly rang out.

Logan Zhu turned his head, Joanna!

She walked up to Logan Zhu and whispered:

"Do you like it? If you do, I'll take a picture of it for you."

Logan Zhu was stunned!

what's going on?

Take a picture of yourself?

Am I going to be a gigolo?

That won’t do!

He patted Joanna's shoulder gently and said:

"No, I have money here. And... these things are a bit suspicious."

The Asian woman made another offer:

"Four thousand dollars!"

After listening to Logan Zhu, Joanna stopped raising the price.

However, the popularity had already been stirred up by Logan Zhu and that woman. He didn't let Joanna add more money, but he still wanted to take a photo, and there were others who also raised the price.

"Four thousand five hundred dollars!"

The original price was fifty dollars per increment, but once Logan Zhu and the Asian woman made their move, the price increased to five hundred dollars.

Logan Zhu believed that the woman should also be able to tell that these porcelains were ancient ones.

But this is not an ordinary ancient porcelain, it is most likely porcelain salvaged from the sea.

Moreover, many porcelains were damaged to some extent.

Logan Zhu glanced over and found that there were about sixty pieces of porcelain, of which about forty were intact.

The point is, these porcelains were not fired in the official kilns. The Heavenly Eye can see the inscriptions on the bottom, which show that they were not made by the government.

So, all in all, even porcelain from the Ming and Qing dynasties is probably not particularly valuable.

So, when the value was increased to seven thousand dollars, only Logan Zhu and that woman were making offers.

The woman came over and whispered to Logan Zhu:

"Why do we have to kill each other?"

She spoke Mandarin with a Central Plains dialect accent.

Logan Zhu thought about it and gave up.

Although I don’t know the price of the sea-salvaged porcelain, it is definitely not worth too much.

Besides, we are all brothers and sisters, so let’s just treat it as a good relationship!

The Asian woman took a picture of the porcelain.

"Thank you, my name is Helen, this is my business card." The Asian woman handed her business card to Logan Zhu, then glanced at Joanna and said:

"You have a beautiful girlfriend."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Logan Zhu and Joanna packed the container together.

Joanna asked her own question:

"Why don't you continue to shoot the container just now? If you don't have enough money, I have some more here."

Logan Zhu shook his head and said:

"If you continue shooting, you won't make much money."

He told Joanna his guess about the porcelain being salvaged from the sea, and then said:

"Some of these porcelains are damaged. The intact ones are worth more, but also limited. I estimate the total value is about 10,000 US dollars. It would be meaningless to bid for less than that."

Joanna nodded as if she understood, then focused her attention on the container she had photographed.

Joanna was very satisfied with Logan Zhu's patience in explaining things to her.

Who among men and women in love doesn’t want the other person’s attention to be on them?

After removing the veil and seeing the motorcycle, Joanna screamed:

"Harley!"

Logan Zhu doesn't know much about motorcycles.

Although I have heard of Harley, I don't know much about its value.

On the contrary, Joanna is very knowledgeable in this area and gave Logan Zhu some scientific knowledge:

"This is a Harley motorcycle produced in the 1980s. It's considered a collector's item now. Let me take a look..."

Joanna carefully looked at the model and parts of the motorcycle and even tried to start it.

"Well, it's in pretty good condition. I think it can sell for $10,000! I made a profit!"

Joanna couldn't help but turned around and hugged Logan Zhu and K!ssed him:

"Honey, betting on the container is really exciting! I'm really lucky!"

Looking at the other stuff, it's all parts and tools, worth a few hundred dollars.

"I have a friend whose father collects this. I can call her." Logan Zhu didn't expect that Joanna even had a channel to sell it.

After the call, Joanna took a few photos and sent them over.

"Next, let's look at your container. I hope you'll have a good harvest there too!"

Logan Zhu said confidently:

"Yes, your luck will bring me good luck!"

After entering the container and seeing the old goods and even garbage all over the floor, Joanna was immediately disappointed.

When she saw the safe again, her eyes lit up, but then she saw the safe open and was disappointed again.

"It seems that my luck didn't play any role."

Logan Zhu smiled and said:

"Who said that? You are very lucky. You bring me good luck too. Really!"

"Really?" Joanna was a little unconvinced. All the stuff here was worthless, like garbage.

Where do these good things come from?
