Chapter 1603: 1603. Container Mountain
After the yacht approaches the giant ship, it can directly lean on it, and there is a bridge to connect it.
In the far sea, the sea wind was howling and the waves were rolling. The already large yacht was swayed by the waves. Sitting on it, Li Du and his party were like riding a roller coaster.
But the anchored giant ship is as stable as Mount Tai, and the rolling waves hit it. It is like a rock on the seashore. No matter how wind or rain blows, I will stand still!
The bridge was lowered, and they climbed onto the giant ship cautiously. The person in charge of the insurance company smiled and said, "Everyone can rest assured to board the ship. We have already purchased sufficient insurance for you. You don't have to worry about anything from the time you go to sea."
Hearing this, Erhuo jumped into the water, swam all the way to the giant wheel ladder, climbed up the ladder, and showed off his strong physique and outstanding athletic ability to his heart's content.
The person in charge was a little scared, and hurriedly said: "The wind and waves are very strong today, everyone must be careful. Although we have bought enough insurance, you have to understand that if you have an accident, you will not enjoy the insurance compensation!"
Amidst a burst of laughter, the others obediently followed the bridge and boarded the freighter.
After landing on the freighter, the road became smoother. Li Du looked up at the stack of old containers and exclaimed, "There are so many boxes here."
There is a label on each container, and different labels represent different goods to be transported.
The purpose of the insurance company holding this auction is to make as much profit as possible, so they don't keep the contents of the warehouse confidential like ordinary storage auctions, and they give some reminders.
Everyone has a stack of papers, which are bound together into a booklet, which describes the information of the containers on the freighter.
Breakbulk containers, open top containers, gantry containers, platform containers, refrigerated containers, bulk containers, ventilated containers, tank containers, animal containers, car containers, modular containers, clothing containers and many more!
In order to deceive reporters, stockholders and investors, the Zhang Baogao brought a large number of containers with it when it went to sea. Some of the containers were empty, but they were still mixed with the containers full of goods.
When the giant ship goes out to sea, it does not go straight to the destination after leaving the port. It has several stops on the way. It needs to replenish supplies at the stops, and then it will bring some local containers.
Therefore, under such circumstances, the boxes on the ship were a bit chaotic, and it was not easy to find them according to the picture.
In addition, the insurance company did not disclose the specific conditions of the goods in the box. They only gave general information, vaguely described the goods in it, and created a sense of mystery to increase the value of the box.
If treasure hunters want to gain something, they mainly rely on their own eyes. They have introduction books, but they are still not allowed to enter the container.
Of course, many containers are full, and they can't get in.
Li Du looked at the introduction in his hand. Refrigerated containers were excluded. This kind of container itself is more valuable than the goods inside. It is used to transport frozen or low-temperature goods, such as fish, meat, fresh fruits, vegetables and other foods. Say this thing is worthless.
Most treasure hunters go straight to the car container after boarding the boat. This thing is very valuable and easy to sell. After all, the United States is a country on wheels, and there are a large number of used car dealerships in any city.
The car container is equipped with a steel frame on the bottom of the simple box, with end walls and side walls. The bottom of the box is made of anti-skid steel plates, which are divided into two types: single-layer and double-layer.
This kind of container is not a standard container, but a modified container, which is easy to identify. Because the height of a general car is 1.35 to 1.45 meters, the height of a standard container is about two and a half meters, so only three-fifths of its container capacity is used, which is very uneconomical.
In order to improve the utilization rate of the container capacity, the car container has been rebuilt, either higher or lower, and it is easy to identify in the standard container group.
People rushed away with great interest, and then they were depressed when they looked inside: there are old cars inside!
Korean cars and Japanese cars are still very popular in the United States, because they have low fuel consumption, easy maintenance, and low maintenance costs. In the current economic environment, they are more suitable for American families than gas tigers.
Popularity is popular, but the prices of cars in these two countries are relatively low, and the prices of old cars are even lower.
There are a large number of car containers on the Zhang Baogao, which are scattered on the giant ship. They were originally the protagonists, but after they found that they were full of old cars, the treasure hunters became less interested.
Without him, the profit margin is small, and buying a second-hand car is risky, because treasure hunters have no way to go in and check the condition of the car. If there is a problem with the car itself, they will suffer a lot if they buy it.
Li Du released space-time flying insects, he did not go to the car container and platform container and other bulk goods containers, these boxes basically can only hold one thing in each box, there is no chance of leaking.
His goal is the general cargo container, which is a general-purpose container with a wide range of applications. Except for goods that need refrigeration and heat preservation and a few special goods, as long as the size and weight are suitable for shipping in containers, this kind of container can be used. container.
With regard to grocery containers, the brochures have the least information, and some even have no statistics.
Li Du found a general cargo container and climbed up. From the structural point of view, general cargo containers can be divided into three types: one end open door, two end open door, and side wall with side door.
The container he was looking for opened the door at one end, with the smallest exposed area and the fewest things, and it was the most suitable for picking up leaks. After the space-time flying insects entered, a large number of groceries appeared.
There are neatly combed wigs, boxes of sneakers, boxes of tablets, boxes of Samsung phones, and a few boxes of beautiful clocks and watches.
This box has a lot of profit, Li Du marked it silently, and then carefully estimated the value.
A space-time flying insect searched for the goods in the container beside him, and another space-time flying insect followed Stein and the others.
The two of them originally came with a few treasure hunters, but they became independent after boarding the ship. They wandered around in the container, but they did not read the introduction book given by the insurance company, but a piece of paper.
It was a customs declaration list with a box number on it, and they were looking for the box according to the number.
The two acted cautiously, and stopped immediately when someone noticed them, and only went to look for the box when no one was paying attention, thinking that what they did was flawless.
Finally, after some searching, they stopped in front of a refrigerated container.
Li Du wondered, what would they store in the refrigerated container? This kind of box is the least valuable, because they are used to store vegetables, meat and so on.
The front of the refrigerated container was deserted, and the figures of the two were a little conspicuous, so they went to have a look and left quickly after confirming the box.
Sneaking around, Li Du sneered, and the time-space flying insects entered the box.
