Chapter 421: 420. Inside Information (Monthly Pass 117+)
The dinner was held in a restaurant called Bonkers. The interior decoration was very distinctive, and all the local attractions were integrated into it, which made Li Du amazed.
The floor of the restaurant is made of tempered glass, and there is a pool below, imitating Lake Powell. People standing on it seem to be walking on the lake.
There are boxes on both sides of the aisle, and the outside of the boxes is decorated in the shape of mountains, making the aisle look like a canyon. Needless to say, this is a tribute to Glenn Canyon.
In this way, although Li Du has not visited the surrounding area of Lake Powell, he has already learned about the local attractions.
As he sees it, Lake Powell sits amidst striking red rocks, steep-edged canyons and magical desert vistas, as does the restaurant's decor.
Entering the restaurant, Zhang Kai was flattered and said, "Shall we have dinner here? It's too expensive, Brother Li, it's too expensive."
Li Du didn't know the cost here, it was Hans who made the reservation, and judging by Zhang Kai's reaction, this seemed to be a high-end restaurant.
Of course, looking at the decoration of the restaurant, you know that the grade here is definitely not low.
Hans is bold, but he will not be taken advantage of. In the restaurant, he only reserved seats for five people, which happened to be the four of them plus Zhang Kai.
After ordering, while tasting the local antelope meat, Li Du asked, "Brother Zhang, have you checked the situation of the warehouse this time?"
Zhang Kai, who was concentrating on processing a roast leg of lamb, raised his head, looked around carefully, and then whispered: "Yes, there is a warehouse with good products."
Li Du said: "Don't worry, no one is eavesdropping on us, you can tell us the situation with confidence, if it's true, I won't let our compatriots suffer."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Kai immediately waved his hands and said, "What are you talking about? We Chinese have to help each other in the United States. If my information can help you, then that's fine."
Li Du smiled and said: "This is the rule of our industry. If the warehouse information you give me is useful, I have to pay you."
Zhang Kai rubbed his hands together and said, "Is that so? Brother Zhang is not polite."
"You don't have to be polite, just say it."
"I am responsible for the inspection and maintenance of warehouses from No. 51 to No. 100. Of the 45 warehouses to be auctioned this time, 14 are under my jurisdiction, and I want to talk about warehouse No. 54."
Having said that, he poked his head in the direction of Li Du again, carefully and mysteriously said: "There are guns in Warehouse No. 54, Brother Li, several shotguns!"
It is not uncommon to find shotguns in Page's warehouse, as this is one of Arizona's great hunting spots where hunting is frequent.
"How many? Do you know what kind of gun?" Li Du became interested.
Zhang Kai said in a low voice: "I don't dare to say how many, but I saw some gun boxes when I was maintaining the warehouse, there were at least five!"
As for the model, he is of course even more unclear. As warehouse keepers, they can only go in for inspection and maintenance when there is a problem in the warehouse.
At this time, the warehouse company will notify the owner of the warehouse, and the owner will monitor it. If the owner cannot be contacted, the warehouse company will send someone to record the whole process, in order to prevent anyone from touching the things in the warehouse.
"In addition to Warehouse No. 54, you have to pay attention to Warehouse No. 68. There is a fishing machine in that warehouse. I helped the owner lift the fishing machine. This thing is worth tens of thousands!"
Li Du asked: "A fishing machine worth tens of thousands? Then why did the owner abandon it here?"
Zhang Kai shrugged and said, "Who knows? Maybe he is rich. The owner of the warehouse is a rich man from a foreign country. He fished in Lake Powell for two months. He should be here for vacation, and then he left directly. "
Some wealthy people rent warehouses for the purpose of temporary storage. When they have had enough fun and leave, they will only take away the things they like, not the most expensive things.
Ordinary people can't understand the world of local tyrants, but thinking about it, if foreign rich people leave here and return to China, it will be very difficult to bring a fishing machine home.
For them, it is better to spend this energy and time to make money and then buy new ones.
Zhang Kai provided them with some information one after another, but apart from these two items, the value of the goods in the other warehouses was not very high.
Li Du recorded all the information he provided, and just as they finished talking, Hans went to pay the bill, and the group left here.
When he walked out of the restaurant, Zhang Kai was so stretched that he couldn't walk, his stomach was sticking out.
Hans helped him pack a shank of lamb and some fried fish. This was Zhang Kai's favorite food at the dinner table before, and it was obviously his favorite food.
After getting these things, Zhang Kai was happy but embarrassed: "You guys are really spending too much money, Brother Li, no, no need to pack them for me."
Li Du said: "Take it, so that you can eat it hot tomorrow. By the way, Brother Zhang, I don't know if I can say something."
"Tell me." Zhang Kai said cheerfully after receiving the meat and fish.
Li Du said: "After getting along with you, I feel that you are very capable, good at handling things and very careful, but why is your life not so good?"
Zhang Kai smiled wryly, and said, "Brother Li, first of all, you think highly of your brother Zhang, and secondly, this is the United States. It's good for us Chinese to have something to eat. Do you still want to live a good life?"
Speaking of the latter, the wry smile turned into a self-deprecating smile, with a sad face.
Li Du asked, "When did Brother Zhang immigrate? Why did he emigrate?"
Zhang Kai sighed, and said: "This is a long story for a child without a mother. Oh, let's talk about it later. Anyway, I have no choice but to come here, and I can't stay in China."
Seeing that the other party didn't want to talk more, Li Du couldn't ask more questions, so they shook hands and left, and returned to the hotel.
After returning to the room, someone knocked on the door soon. Turis and others came over with beer, sandwiches, grilled sausages, fried fish and fried meat, and asked with a smile, "Boss Li, do you want some supper?"
Li Du has just finished eating, where can he get something to eat? What's more, it's only eight o'clock in the evening, eating a fart supper, obviously, these people came to ask him for news.
It is impossible for him to announce all the news, because he has to take pictures of some, and then give Zhang Kai a share, and other people will not do this, so he has become a dishonest Zhang Kai.
Therefore, he concealed warehouses No. 52 and No. 68, and revealed all other news.
In this way, it cannot be said that he is not loyal. The purpose of the treasure hunters following him is to get a mouthful of soup and drink it. He and Hans must eat the meat.
On the morning of the 17th, Li Du woke up, Hans was still soundly asleep, he called Dao and Godzilla out, drove to the Glen Canyon warehouse company, and prepared to investigate the situation.
