Road to becoming the wealthiest: Starting From Treasure Hunting in the Cabinets-Chapter 80 - Great Harvest

Chapter 80 -80: Great Harvest!
Finally, the neighboring container was won by the Ralph Brothers, costing a total of eight thousand and five hundred dollars!
Sean Knight clicked his tongue. This price was much higher than his own!
As Mr. Madden walked over and watched Sean Knight tidy up, he said:
“Sean, you made the wise choice, taking this container for 20,000 dollars. Just now, I already increased my bid to 26,000, and still couldn’t win it!”
Sean Knight smiled, and while cleaning up, he said:
“That still depends on whether there are any valuables inside. I saw several suitcases over there, so I thought it was worth gambling, right?”
Mr. Madden didn’t expect Sean Knight’s observations to be so meticulous. He chuckled without saying anything more.
But in his mind, he thought that Sean could make money so quickly and repeatedly win valuable containers was not only due to good luck, but also his abilities!
Although the container auction had ended, most people stayed and watched how the two sides were handling everything.
The Ralph Brothers were cleaning up, and Elder Joey saw them bringing out old furniture and made a hissing sound.
Ralph couldn’t stand it, grabbed a bunch of seaweed and threw it over. The treasure hunters laughed and backed off, and some just left directly.
There would be more container auctions elsewhere, so they couldn’t always stay in one place.
Mr. Madden watched as Sean Knight and Jason Caldwell brought out a small cabinet, and when they opened it and found nothing of value inside, his last patience was exhausted. He greeted them and left.
Sean Knight secretly let out a sigh of relief and sped up the cleaning process.
The Ralph Brothers suddenly cursed “f*ck” and “dog sh*t”. Sean Knight came out with a broken chair and saw the three brothers angrily throwing away the junk items.
Underneath their feet were a few opened suitcases with nothing valuable inside!
They lost big this time!
Sean Knight didn’t pay attention to them and didn’t try to comfort them. He continued to clean up his own side of things.
He thought to himself that those who gamble must also accept their losses; no one could blame anyone else for it.
Ralph ran over to take a look at the cleaning process on this side, and immediately waved his hand. He gave a hundred dollars to the nearby workers cleaning up the garbage and left cursing with his brothers.
Sean Knight and Jason Caldwell had already started cleaning the last row of items. If the Ralph Brothers hadn’t left, they’d have seen that at the end of this container, there stood a very well-preserved and beautiful life-sized bronze statue of a woman!
The woman’s face was clear and very beautiful. The verdigris staining on the entire statue was obvious. Although itis not as ancient, as those in China spanning two or three thousand years, this bronze statue, in Sean Knight’s opinion, must be at least a few hundred years old, right?
Sean Knight sent a photo of the bronze statue to Mr. John. This item could only be sold by Mr. John.
The bronze statue was temporarily left untouched because it was too heavy. After Sean Knight sent the photo, Jason Caldwell handed over an aviation aluminum box:
“Boss, check this out. It’s locked.”
Sean Knight took it over and felt that it was heavy. He asked:
“Where did you find this?”
Jason pointed to a small wooden cabinet near the inside and said:
“It was right under this.”
Sean Knight went to look, and found out that the wooden cabinet was perfectly sized for the aluminum box, fitting just right.
There were two layers inside, and the top layer was empty.
Sean Knight took out the bronze pen he always carried. Its tip was very sharp, easily destroying the lock on the aluminum box.
As he lifted the lid, Sean Knight’s eyes lit up:
Inside the box, there were four neatly arranged gold bars – the four bars were fixed in foam.
Sean picked up a piece and found that there were no markings on it, it must be privately minted gold.
This piece is about half a kilogram, and four pieces are about two kilograms. The current market price for one kilogram of gold is about 50,000 to 60,000 US dollars, so just these two kilograms of gold are worth 100,000 US dollars!
In addition to that bronze statue, Sean even felt that he didn’t need to go treasure hunting, and it’s quite nice just to open containers!
The mobile phone rang. Sean answered it, and Mr. John said on the other end:
“Sean, you always bring me surprises! Many people will like this bronze statue!”
“Then find a reliable one!” Sean smiled, “This thing is too heavy, I can’t move it.”
He didn’t mention the four gold bricks, planning to keep them for emergency use.
After cleaning up the other garbage in the container, about forty minutes later, someone came to contact Sean.
Unexpectedly, the person who came was a noblewoman in her fifties, dressed very decently.
The woman came to the dock with the accompaniment of her two bodyguards, and when she saw Sean, she said politely:
“John said that a young man found a very nice bronze statue, is that you?”
Sean nodded.
“Well, very impressive!” The woman looked at Sean with an examining glance, which put a bit of pressure on him. This gaze seemed like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law.
“The statue is in the container, do you want to see it now?” Sean changed the topic.
“Sure.” The woman waved her hand, and one of the bodyguards whispered into the walkie-talkie. Then, seven or eight workers came with tools and entered the container, and in no time they carried the statue out intact.
The woman wore gloves and looked around the statue, touching here and there. After taking a look, she took off her gloves, and the bodyguard hurriedly took them and put them away.
“Nice, this statue has been preserved very well, I like it!”
Sean smiled.
“As for the price, I think she is worth 40,000 US dollars.”
The woman used “she” to refer to the statue, which surprised Sean a bit.
However, Sean is quite satisfied with 40,000 US dollars.
The bodyguard handed Sean a check, and the woman chatted with Sean for a while before leaving contentedly.
After finishing the procedures, Sean left with Jason.
They had been busy for quite a long time, so the two of them went back to Jason’s container dormitory and had their last dinner together. According to Jason, he had already arranged for their new residence and planned to move there tomorrow.
Although it was a bit far from the port, at least it could ensure Freya’s safety.
And it was more comfortable to live in.
Today’s total income exceeded 130,000 US dollars. Sean took out 500 US dollars and handed it to Jason:
“Take it. We won’t be around the port tomorrow. I’ll come over in the morning to pick you up, and we’ll go to a new place to treasure hunt together.”
Jason happily took the money. Sean could tell that Jason was not unhappy about getting “only” 500 US dollars while he made much more, on the contrary, he was very happy.
That’s good enough.
If he were to raise an ungrateful person, Sean wouldn’t mind replacing them immediately.
They said nothing for the rest of the night. The next day, after breakfast, Sean and Jason set off for the suburban manor.
The manor was not too far from New York City, but Sean was unfamiliar with the route, so he didn’t drive fast.
When they arrived, it had been an hour and a half.
However, when they saw the manor, Sean cursed because those guys didn’t keep their word!
