Chapter 3 3. Picking up Treasure in the Warehouse
Let me explain: When a book is in the public period, there is a period called the new book period, which has a word limit, so the update of the bullet case will be slower before it is put on the shelves, and it is tentatively scheduled to be about 4,500 words per day. Once it is on the shelves, the shell will activate the power of the wild to unseal the small universe, and it will explode at that time. I hope everyone understands, thank you for the shell! In addition, now the update time is at noon and one chapter at night, all for better results, I hope everyone supports! Finally, ask for favorites, recommend tickets, clicks, and all support! (Don’t worry about the update of the bullet casing, everyone should be clear about the character of the bullet casing)
Li Du's situation is a little bit worse.
Hannah couldn't leave her brother alone, and Hans still had a part of the house, so when Hans came back, he might have to give up the bedroom.
After all, according to the contract, his rent was due.
In the evening, Li Du wanted to go out to relax, but when he got to the door, he heard arguing in the yard outside.
"...Isn't the Chinese boy's rent due? Just let him go!" This was Hans' voice.
Hannah said impatiently: "Leave, leave, leave, how can you make such a cruel thing so easy? Do you know what Li has been through during this time?"
"Does it have anything to do with us? Sister, you are too simple to know the dangers of the world today..."
"I said Hans, do you remember me as a sister at this time? I know that the world is dangerous, so we have to be kind to others. Jesus Christ said..."
"Oh, let me go, you know I don't like God." Hans interrupted Hannah, holding his head, "You really don't want to drive that little boy away?"
Hannah said: "I know what you want, Hans. I'm going to work the night shift now, and if I come back and find that Li has left, or he's in a bad mood, then I will drive you away immediately! You know I can tell It can be done!"
Hans asked helplessly, "Why are you so nice to him? Don't tell me you're in love with this butter boy."
Hannah laughed and said, "You know it's not like that. Well, to be honest, Li is in a very difficult situation right now. He's under a lot of pressure. I don't want to be the straw that breaks the camel's back. That's not how our Fox family behaves!"
Hearing the conversation between the two, Li Du quietly retreated to the room. He is poor and short-sighted, so it is better for him not to show up at this time, which will only increase the embarrassment of both parties.
He was moved by Hannah's kindness, but he was a good man in China, and he didn't want to accept pity from others for no reason.
"Modan, worm, I'll take you to the sewer to pick up coins tonight!" Li Du said to himself looking at the little worm with its head sticking out of his palm.
What's the fastest way to make money at no cost? Pick up money!
With the avatar of Xiao Chong, he can do a lot of things, but picking up coins, which seems to be a tough way of making a living, allows him to earn living expenses in the shortest possible time.
When Hannah left in her classic Ford car, Li Du took a small bag and prepared to go out.
At the door, he saw Hans. This guy was sitting crookedly on the floor like a bastard, playing with his mobile phone happily.
Hearing the footsteps, Hans said without raising his head, "Hey, Chinese boy, after sleeping for so long, are you hungry now?"
Li Du's feelings towards Hans couldn't be said to be good or bad. Although this man was a bit of a hippie, he didn't do anything bad, at least he didn't hurt him.
Shrugging, he said, "A little bit, what's the matter?"
Hans got up, smiled and said, "I'm hungry too, why don't we buy some pizza?"
"your treat?"
"Schete! You Chinese are all rich. When I was in Los Angeles, I often heard news that Chinese people bought luxury houses."
Li Du happily took out his wallet, Hans' eyes sparkled, and then five more shiny one-dollar coins appeared in front of him.
"That's all for me, you decide, how can I ask you?"
Hans rolled his eyes in frustration. He searched his body and found a green Alexander Hamilton.
Franklin is on the hundred-dollar bill, and Alexander Hamilton, America's first secretary of the treasury, is on the ten-dollar bill.
"Look, we have fifteen dollars, which can be used for a black pepper beef pizza from Pizza Hut." Hans smiled triumphantly, "The harvest is divided according to the contribution. I eat three-quarters of the pizza, and you eat three-quarters of the pizza." A quarter."
Li Du looked at him and shook his head, "No wonder your business will go bankrupt. Your arithmetic is really bad. I'm one-third, and you are two-thirds, OK?"
After hearing his words, Hans showed an angry expression: "Who said my business went bankrupt? It's just a problem with the funds! To be honest, I'm going back to Flagstaff City this time to participate in an auction and to make a lot of money!"
"Participate in the auction?" Li Du was surprised, "You still have money to collect?"
In his perception, an auction is a group of rich people buying a lot of useless things with so-called artistic value.
Seeing how poor Hans was when he searched his body only to find ten dollars, he didn't think this guy had money to play art.
Hans rolled his eyes again, he liked this action very much: "What kind of collection are you playing? I want to participate in the warehouse auction!"
"Warehouse auction?"
"Hmm." Hans nodded, "There are eight warehouses in Flagstaff City that will be auctioned this weekend, and I got inside information that there is a Kessler massage chair in one of the warehouses, as long as I get it, hehe... "
He was almost drooling when he said this.
Li Du came to the United States not long ago, and he didn't know much about the local life. He had heard of warehouse auctions as a commercial practice, but he didn't know the details.
The United States is different from other countries in the world. This country has a unique warehouse culture.
Because there are no restrictions such as household registration, young people in the United States do not like to buy real estate or houses, but prefer to rent houses. However, it would be very troublesome to move every time, so the warehouse leasing business flourished.
In this kind of business, the warehouse company chooses a piece of land to build a batch of warehouses, and leases them out for people to use for profit, while people use fixed warehouses to store things.
If the owner of the warehouse does not come to pay the lease fee after a certain period of time, then the warehouse is legally regarded as an ownerless property, and the warehouse owner can dispose of it by himself.
Generally speaking, the way to dispose of it is to auction it out.
People who do this kind of work are called treasure pickers. Li Du only knew that Hans was doing business outside, but he didn't expect to do this kind of business.
He didn't understand this business model. While waiting for the pizza, he asked curiously, "How do you plan to operate it? Is there a massage chair in the warehouse that only you know?"
Hans shook his head and said: "No, many people know about this news. There are a total of eight warehouses in this auction, and massage chairs are one of them. No one knows which one, so I have one-eighth of them. Opportunity to get this massage chair.”
"One in eight chances?! What's the difference between that and winning the lottery?"
"The difference is big, the lottery is a one in eight million chance, OK?"
Li Du couldn't understand this idea of taking risks. This was the difference between him and Hans. He was a Confucian scholar deeply influenced by the doctrine of the mean, while Hans was an ambitious adventurer.
Shrugging his shoulders, he wanted to leave, but he accidentally saw the tattoo on the palm of his hand, and a thought suddenly appeared in his mind:
"Dude, does anyone know which warehouse the massage chair is in?"
"certainly!"
"What if you can determine the location of the massage chair warehouse? Are you sure you can get your hands?"
"certainly!"
"Then how about we cooperate, let me help you find this warehouse, you take a picture, and then how about we share the money together?"
