Chapter 226 225. Iceberg Industry (Monthly Pass 700+)
Forty-five warehouses, which took two days and twenty-five or six hours, were finally auctioned off.
The auction lasted until ten o'clock in the evening for two consecutive days. This was the most intense auction Li Du had ever participated in. He almost collapsed!
Of course, his physical strength and energy are not so bad. The main reason is that he has been using small flying insects during the period, and he is not used to the hot and humid weather in Los Angeles, and he has to fight wits with Frank's team, which has caused an overdraft of energy.
Fortunately, after the auction ended, there were not many treasure hunters in poor condition like him, so no one noticed his abnormality.
Looking at the treasure hunters who were sighing and scattered, Hans sighed and said, "Everyone's physical strength is much weaker now. When I first entered this industry, I once participated in a military warehouse auction in Alaska, and that was a tossing!"
"Speaking of the auction of military warehouses, it seems that we are preparing to withdraw troops from Iraq? Barack promised during the election that his first task after taking office is to withdraw troops," Ollie said.
Barack is the name of the Communist Party. When he participated in the US general election, he used the policy plan to get rid of the quagmire of war to win votes for himself.
Turis said listlessly: "Hurry up and withdraw the troops, damn it, my brother is in Iraq, and our whole family has to pray for him every day!"
"Who said it wasn't? Don't know why that idiot George Bush started the Iraq war, we spent two trillion dollars, then what?"
"And then he left a strong mark in history. If you want to choose the most combative leader in history, he will definitely go to the President's Hill."
"Yeah, and the damn war in Afghanistan, when are we going to get out of Afghanistan?"
Li Du was silent. Two years ago, China held the first Olympic Games in history, and his country was in a peaceful period of joy.
After coming to the United States, the more things he came into contact with, the more he felt the wisdom of the domestic leadership team.
Exporting foreign force can easily turn into militarism. In contrast, developing the economy and developing national strength in silence is the last word.
Hans said: "Just wait, there will definitely be no way to withdraw the troops in the short term. Even if the troops are withdrawn and the military storage auction is held, it will be held in Iraq. We don't have the strength to join in."
Li Du asked with interest: "There is also an auction of military warehouses? Is it worthwhile for the army to risk losing confidential information to earn money from selling warehouses?"
Hans said: "They will not lose confidential information, they will repeatedly confirm that there are some irrelevant things in the warehouse before they are auctioned."
"Besides, the military storage auction is not such a small business. You have to spend hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars to bid for many warehouses!"
"Yes, think about it buddy, this is not a small amount of money. Hundreds of warehouses will be sent out at the military storage auction, and the final proceeds may reach billions!"
Li Du exclaimed: "So storage auction is such a huge industry?"
"What you see is just the tip of the iceberg. If you dive underwater, you'll know—Schete, the iceberg is too big and terrifying!" Hans patted him on the shoulder.
After chatting, they returned to the truck, and then quickly went back to rest and gather energy for work tomorrow.
According to the warehouse auction rules, the auction is over, and the treasure hunters only have 24 hours to clean up the warehouse.
Hollywood film companies will not extend the time limit as kindly as real estate developers. They will reuse these warehouses soon, so there is not much time left for treasure hunters.
In the morning, Li Du woke up sleepily, and went to the warehouse with Hans and Godzilla again to start working.
They bought two warehouses, but the warehouses are relatively large, and it is difficult to clean them up during the day with Godzilla alone.
Turis, Ollie, Reeves, Bearded Carl and others came to help one after another, and the strength is strong in numbers.
Li Du's performance at this auction convinced the treasure hunters in Flagstaff City, and they already respected him as a leader in the industry.
Compared with the previous two days, the warehouse was a little deserted this time, but there were still a lot of people. The treasure hunters who cleaned up the warehouse all came, and some treasure hunters followed Open Eyes to watch the fun.
The Iron Knight drove the truck of Ollie and the others to the warehouse door, preparing to slow down and enter.
At this moment, a Hummer jeep suddenly accelerated and cut in!
The Humvee is known for its maneuverability and explosive power. This thing has the nickname of "King of the Field", and it is normally used by the army.
In front of it, the truck was as slow and clumsy as the giant Goliath that David had taken care of. Li Du watched helplessly as the truck overtook from behind and inserted in front of him.
"Snow!" Hans, the co-pilot, was taken aback, "Is the driver a badass? I really don't fear death when I ride a horse..."
Before he finished speaking, the Hummer that came in did not drive through the door, but slowed down and stopped, and then slowly backed up.
Hans was so angry that his lips trembled: "What is this? What is this car for? Damn, did you open the wrong door?"
Hummer backs up, Godzilla also has to drive back, can't wait for someone to hit it?
Although they are trucks, they may not be able to crash this Hummer.
Besides, the Iron Knight is still a new car, and Li Du feels distressed if he gets scratched, let alone being hit?
Turis and the others behind couldn't figure out the situation, so they poked their heads out of the cab and shouted:
"Li, what's going on?" "Why back off?" "Dude, I almost ran into it!"
Li Du smiled bitterly: "There is a Humvee backing up ahead, let's give way first."
The Humvee backed away for a certain distance, and several trucks with Rottweilers painted on their compartments drove over, and then cut in line confidently and drove in.
When the trucks were done, the Humvee restarted, the windows down, and a middle finger from inside shook them.
Hanston, who was in the co-pilot, was furious and shouted, "Fuck, it's Frank that bitch!"
Li Du was also furious, and shouted: "It's him? This bastard is too bullying!"
Needless to say, those trucks belonged to Frank. He used the flexibility of the off-road vehicle to jump in the queue, forcing Li Du's convoy to retreat, and let his own truck enter the warehouse first.
Wanting to understand this point, Li Du said angrily, "I knew I would bump into this beast!"
Godzilla said in a muffled voice: "Now it's too late!"
Li Du shook his head. Just now when he hit the car with his hands, it could be said that the brakes were not timely.
According to California law, a truck that actively hits a car or a pedestrian can be charged with intentional homicide.
The two convoys stopped one after another, and Frank and York appeared outside the car. The two showed disgusting smiles at Li Du, and said, "Chinaman, how does it feel to follow behind and eat shit?"
Li Du sneered and said, "Laugh, laugh, I hope you can still laugh later!"
Frank proudly said: "I can't stop laughing today, because I have ten warehouses in the account! And these ten warehouses can make money, and at least three of them can make a lot of money!"
