Road to becoming the wealthiest: Starting From Treasure Hunting in the Cabinets
Chapter 107: Making a Killing without Loss!

Chapter 107: Chapter 107: Making a Killing without Loss!

Elder and Little Joey’s voices were very loud, which attracted the attention of the treasure hunters who were originally planning to bid on the fifth container.

Elder and Little Joey had lifted the waterproof cloth off of the car, exposing the body!

Seeing the car body, the treasure hunters burst into laughter!

Looking at the logo, it was indeed a Mercedes and an SUV, but it only had the back half!

The front half had been torn off and was nowhere to be found!

That is to say, the most valuable part, the engine, was gone!

A few onlookers approached and found that besides the car shell, although there were a few boxes of tool parts in the container, they were all discarded replacements and not worth any money!

This was a real loss!

Diana Smith laughed out loud:

"See, I told you it’s just a broken car!"

Elder Joey was angry, waving his arms at Diana to scare her, but she wasn’t intimidated at all.

Hamilton Diaz had also come over in a bad mood:

"Hey, buddy, looks like you lost a lot here!"

Elder Joey was already in a bad mood and looked at Hamilton’s stuff, which was divided into several piles, and said disdainfully:

"Don’t talk about me, your stuff doesn’t look much better, that pile of junk can’t be worth much!"

Hamilton’s face turned even darker when he heard this.

He had just estimated that the 16,500 dollars would barely make his money back.

He thought the items from Dubai would be worth something, but they turned out to be ordinary clothes and bags, without any valuable items!

Mr. Madden’s gaze was shrewd; he glanced at Elder Joey’s car and paid no more attention, then looked at Hamilton’s stuff, which had already been sorted, and laughed:

"Hamilton, it seems like you’re going to lose money today too, right? With just those electronic products and second-hand clothes, it’s not even 10,000 US dollars, is it?"

Hamilton stubbornly said:

"How could it not be 10,000 dollars? I just calculated it; this lot should sell for at least 15,000 dollars..."

"But that’s still a loss of more than 1,000 dollars, right?"

Ralph Turner added from behind:

"The fiercer the bidding just now, the greater the loss now!"

"At least we’re better than you guys who never win any bids!" Hamilton retorted, still holding his head high. "I’m still better off than the Joey brothers! Their car shell can only be sold as scrap metal, and they’re going to lose at least 10,000 dollars!"

Elder Joey’s face turned black!

But he couldn’t refute it!

He couldn’t help but push Hamilton, who also didn’t back down. The two were about to fight when Little Joey and Sean stepped forward to separate them.

The auctioneer over there was already preparing to auction off the fifth container. Sean said:

"Instead of ridiculing others, you should focus on whether you can get any good deals!"

Upon hearing his words, Ralph’s face turned red, and he hurried over.

"Sean, don’t be smug!" Elder Joey didn’t appreciate it, pointing at the big boxes in Sean’s container and said:

"There must be nothing good in there either, and you’ll lose money today too!"

At that moment, Jason Caldwell and the other workers had already brought out the two big boxes with a forklift.

Seeing so many workers working together, Mr. Madden couldn’t help but envy:

"It’s really better to have more people!"

"But they cost money!" Hamilton said, "We’re not rich, we don’t have that much money!"

Sean didn’t say anything, he had taken advantage of the situation himself and wasn’t going to let others speak.

Jason couldn’t help but speak up for Sean:

"We’re all Bosuns Evans’ workers, we don’t have to spend any money!"

"Bosuns?" Elder and Little Joey had not cared much when they heard Jason call Sean "Bosuns" before, but now that so many people were calling him that, it didn’t seem like a joke.

Mr. Madden was also curious and asked:

"Sean, did you start a company?"

Sean Knight thought that he couldn’t keep the freight yard situation a secret for long, so he said with a smile:

"I’ve leased a freight yard and plan to buy a batch of expired containers for auction. I’ll notify everyone when the time comes, and I welcome everyone to come then!"

Hearing Sean Knight say this, surprise and amazement flickered in the eyes of the others!

How long had it been since Sean Knight arrived?

He had already leased a freight yard!

Though these people always considered themselves treasure hunters and each had a considerable fortune.

But if they were asked to open a freight yard, they might not be able to do it!

So the gazes cast at Sean Knight were inevitably mixed with some envy, jealousy, and inexplicable glimmers!

Sean Knight didn’t care, as only mediocrity would not be envied.

The forklift operator, Little Black, asked:

"Boss, should these two boxes be shipped directly back to the freight yard?"

Sean Knight nodded and said:

"Yes."

Diana, who had been listening on the side, said:

"Sean, there must be some good stuff in those boxes. Let’s take it out and see!"

Hamilton Diaz also egged him on from the side:

"That’s right! Today we all lost quite a bit. Perhaps only Mr. Madden’s ores can make some profit! Sean, you need to give us some face and not let Mr. Madden be too smug! Take a look at what’s inside the boxes, please?"

Sean Knight felt like vomiting when the tall and burly Hamilton Diaz spoke with such a "soft and cute" voice.

"Alright then, let’s clear the stuff inside the boxes here." Sean Knight figured that since the items would eventually be sold anyway, they might as well be cleared now.

As soon as Little Black received the order, they began to unload the cargo.

One copper pipe, two copper rods, three copper bars...

One by one, the copper products were moved out, quickly stacking up like a small mountain!

Many people who were bidding on the fifth container rushed over to see the commotion.

Soon, the copper materials in the two large boxes were cleaned out.

Experienced Mr. Madden murmured to himself:

"Such a big pile, there must be at least several tons..."

Hamilton Diaz approached and asked:

"Madden, how much is the copper worth per ton now?"

"At least 10,000 US dollars!" Madden was very clear about the market price of these items!

He had just bought some manganese ores, thinking that he could make a profit and come out on top among these people. However, comparing his earnings to Sean Knight’s, it was indeed just a drop in the bucket!

Sean Knight had already called Mr. John, and someone specialized in scrap metal recycling was coming to pick it up.

Seeing that Sean Knight was going to make a big profit from this, Hamilton Diaz and the Joey Brothers couldn’t help but feel upset.

Diana mocked him with a sentence:

"Sean, you’ve really become a boss, making more money than us! Haha!"

Having said that, she went to bid on the next auction.

Today’s events had indeed stimulated her.

She originally thought that the other people in her group wouldn’t make a profit, and her not losing would be equivalent to winning.

But now it seemed that she had overestimated herself!

The auction for the fifth container had already ended, and the auction assistant had opened the sixth shipping container.

This time, Diana spent a fortune, snatching a pile of furniture for a high price of nineteen thousand dollars.

She firmly believed that there must be branded goods hidden among those pieces of furniture, and there might even be a secret box containing brand-name bags or valuable jewelry. In that case, she would not only break even but perhaps make a huge profit!

As for whether Diana ultimately made a profit, Sean Knight did not know.

However, when the scrap metal recycler arrived and weighed the copper materials, which amounted to over 6 tons, Sean Knight knew that he had made a killing in this deal!
