Chapter 134 Does anyone know how to fly the plane back?
Soon, the bidding process slowed down.
Only two people remained in the room willing to raise their hands and bid higher, and the price remained at $2400.
How should I put it, this auction price was entirely based on the standards for selling scrap metal, and it was a trial and error process.
Even if all that's inside is an airplane hull, it's still worth several thousand dollars.
Ma Jie was quite patient, waiting for one of them to release the money before slowly calling out, "2700 dollars."
Upon hearing her offer, Grace, who had been dozing off, instantly snapped awake: "$2700! Jack's made another bid, anyone want to go for it?"
Damn... Why are you shouting so loudly? Are you trying to make me the target of hatred? The confidante sister chimed in, "Yes."
In fact, this was by no means Grace's original intention; it was purely a message conveyed by the production team through her earpiece.
Logically speaking, when making a TV show, one shouldn't be stingy with the budget. But this is, after all, a helicopter, even if it's just a low-spec version with a cabin so cramped that it can only accommodate two people. It's not something an ordinary person can afford to crash.
12 is converted to RMB, which is at least 84. Mercedes-Benz, Land Rover, and Tesla are not something you can just casually mention.
So, recover as much health as you can. If someone manages to steal thousands of dollars' worth of health, anyone would feel the pain.
As a result, under her instigation, there were indeed some fearless people. A middle-aged rich woman jumped out from the previous housewife group and raised the price by $3000.
Ma Jie naturally wouldn't tolerate her; he started with a four-figure bet and went straight to four thousand.
Without any hesitation, the other party responded with a thousand dollars in return.
Then it went up to six thousand, seven thousand, eight thousand, nine thousand, ten thousand...
The onlookers were dumbfounded. Didn't you see the bloody lesson before?
Still here gambling like a dog? A gambling dog will end up with nothing!
However, when the price broke through to 10,000 dollars, the rich woman finally couldn't hold on any longer.
After symbolically raising the price twice more, they finally relented and gave up.
What's wrong with rich people? Do they think their money grows in their yards?
The key difference is that the other guy has a profit margin, so even if he loses, it's a loss of profit, while I'm putting my principal into it. The mindset is completely different.
"Thirteen thousand dollars, Jack has bid thirteen thousand dollars. Anyone else calling?"
Looking at Grace, who had transformed into a sexy dealer, Ma Jie really wanted to go up and take her down.
If we've already come this far in terms of price, why are there still so many suckers out there? Why don't we just start the bidding already?
After being called three times in a row, everyone's gaze began to show a hint of annoyance.
"OK, $0, sold!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jimmy led the way and ran up, and the group hurriedly tore down the tarpaulin.
After finally glimpsing the true nature of the interior, everyone was so astonished that they stood frozen in place, speechless.
Inside the spacious, transparent cabin, all the necessary mechanical equipment was present, and there were no signs of damage.
It measures approximately 6.5 meters from nose to tail, has a propeller diameter of 7.6 meters, and a height of 2.7 meters, making it a true Robinson R22 two-seat light helicopter.
This aircraft has many advantages: lightweight design, low maintenance costs, stable performance, and it is also the most affordable among all helicopter models.
This led to its widespread acclaim upon its release, and it was designated as a training aircraft by numerous flight schools.
Of course, there are cheaper mosquito helicopters, which can only seat one person and can be bought for $5, but they are not very practical and are more for entertainment.
"Wow, a golden legend, Jack! You've struck gold again!"
Jimmy excitedly stroked the cockpit windshield, while Max swallowed hard beside him: "Kid, you're still so lucky. Buy me a lottery ticket tonight."
"Oh my god, I don't want to live anymore, why are you torturing me like this?"
The wealthy woman, who had just lost a great fortune, was on the verge of tears, covering her face with her hands and letting out a mournful scream.
Let alone 13,000, even if the price were ten times higher, you might not be able to buy a helicopter like this.
Even more enthusiastic than those at the event were the online fans.
"This is insane, it's like something out of an anime. How did he do it?"
"I'd rather believe he's an alien with superpowers!"
"Destroy it, quickly..."
Finally, the production team stopped acting altogether and, out of nowhere, produced an expert who immediately gave the aircraft a test.
Everything went smoothly as expected, and the test flight was a success under the spotlight. The final valuation was $15, which once again sparked a wave of discussion.
Including all previous profits and deducting bidding costs, Ma Jie alone made a staggering 25 million in just 48 hours.
Ten thousand cuts!
Of course, cash only accounts for 30% of this, mainly consisting of the aircraft and physical assets that have not yet been realized.
Grace looked very excited as she faced the camera: "OK, let's take a look at the latest popularity rankings. Without a doubt, Jack has overtaken Duncan Morton by a huge margin of 87 votes, leaving his opponents far behind. Without a doubt, he is this season's Treasure Hunt King. Now, please welcome the award presenter to present the ultimate prize to the stinky fish and shrimp... oh sorry, I should say the Great Shark team."

"A $10,000 shopping voucher with no minimum spend, jointly sponsored by Amazon and eBay!"
"Friends, this is the world of warehouse auctions. Every unopened warehouse holds unlimited potential. Some miss opportunities, some make accurate predictions, some leave with regret, and some reap treasures. Small investments yield big returns; the wise prevail."
"If you'd like to try your hand at it, please edit your resume and send it to the official email address below the screen to participate in the next season's auditions."
"Family, this is Jewelry Sister, the woman who knows the most about jewelry in the world. This season of 'Warehouse Treasure Hunt King' has come to an end. See you next season, goodbye."
boom!boom!boom!boom!boom!
As fireworks and streamers rained down from the sky, a catchy tune called "YMCA" began to play.
This globally popular disco hit was once used by the US president to conclude a speech in Michigan, hence its nickname "The King's Battle Song".
To the beat of a dynamic background music track, the entire audience imitated Trump's signature dance moves, swaying their bodies slightly while casually swinging their fists back, forth, left, and right.
The camera switched from a close-up to a wide shot, and then from a wide shot to an aerial view taken by a drone, thus perfectly concluding the live broadcast and recording.
After completing the asset transfer with the production team, Ma Jie asked Max and the others to drive back first.
Everything else is easy to handle; just stuff it into the RV, and whether you sell it to a physical store or list it on eBay for auction, turning it into cash is only a matter of time.
The only problem is this plane; the key issue is that no one knows how to fly it, and even if we could fly it back, there's nowhere to park it.
After much deliberation, I decided to bring Trevor over. He used to be an Air Force pilot, and flying a helicopter is as easy for him as drinking water.
When the call connected, all I heard was loud music, like something out of an entertainment venue.
"Hey, Old Cui, do me a favor." Ma Jie didn't stand on ceremony with him; it's best for men to speak their minds directly.
"Oh, Jack, how come you always pick the right time?"
A glance at the large map revealed that, according to the beacon from [Quantum Tracking], this old lecher was having a blast at the High Heel Club.
If I remember correctly, that place is not cheap. Inviting a dancer to dance privately in a small room costs $40, and it only lasts for a few minutes.
Don't get me wrong, nothing will happen. It'll just be a one-on-one striptease, maybe I'll rub against you a couple of times.
As for whether you can take it with you after the dance, that depends on your financial resources and charm.
Dancers usually live in apartments near the club and take on side jobs to earn extra money. As for whether they will win the lottery, that's anyone's guess.
The fact that he dared to spend money there means he must have made a fortune recently, but it definitely didn't come from a legitimate source.
If I remember correctly, he has a self-built private hangar near the desert north of Los Angeles, in a remote place, which he uses for illegal transportation work.
"What's wrong?" Hearing his complaint, Ma Jie said to himself, "You might not believe it, but I just bought a helicopter for a very cheap price. You would never guess how low the price was."
"So, buddy, you just wanted to show off, right?"
"Of course not," Ma Jie corrected. "The problem is that I don't know how to fly, so I need a professional to help me fly the plane to a safe place."
"Oh shit, why didn't you say so sooner?" Trevor's voice sounded irritable. "I just spent $500 to convince Nikki to take me to her apartment!"
Who is Niki?
"A stripper with boobs bigger than your head!"
Ma Jieke paused for a moment, then replied, "Oh, I'll give you five minutes. Go ahead and get busy, then come back here to find me when you're done."
"Five minutes? That's for you! I need at least an hour, that's all, send me your location."
"Hello, feed..." Hearing the busy tone from the receiver, Ma Jieke smiled helplessly.
This beast isn't afraid of getting sick, oh wait, he's even slept with animals. The one who really needs to pray for himself is that girl named Nikki.
They said they'd wait an hour, but it turned out to be two hours. The entire crew had left before Trevor finally arrived in his all-purpose vehicle.
Fortunately, he didn't foolishly drive over alone; he brought a little follower with him.
Ma Jieke couldn't complain about this. He was just asking for a favor, and given how far away it was, it was already a good thing that the person came at all.
"Haha, Jack, I thought you were joking, but I didn't expect you to actually get your hands on a helicopter."
After getting out of the car, Trevor burst into manic laughter and tried to hug him to show affection.
Ma Jieke dodged away with a look of disgust. Who knows if he took a shower after he was done? This guy's lifestyle is so sloppy, he doesn't even need makeup to play a homeless person.
"What do you think of its quality?" Even though it had already been appraised by experts, Ma Jie still wanted to hear their opinion.
"At least 90% new, bro." Trevor sat in the cockpit, expertly adjusting the various levers and buttons, his eyes full of curiosity: "How much did you pay for it?"
"Oh wait a minute, let me guess, at least $120,000, right?"
