Chapter 872 871. The Government's Warehouse (55)

The policeman acted swiftly, left these two sentences and drove away.

Li Du opened the envelope, and the purple invitation letter read:

Dear Du-Li and Hans-Fox, at 14:30 pm on July 1st, the press conference of this year's second-hand hypermarket will be held in the office hall of the state capital. Please come.

Signed by the Arizona Warehouse Auction Commission and the State Department of Public Services, there are contacts and telephone numbers at the bottom.

Hans asked with interest: "Oh, the state capital is now learning from California, and is going to hold a press conference before the storage auction?"

Li Du asked, "Have you ever done it before?"

"California has done it before, and California has always done it." Hans said, "Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger brought his Hollywood set to Sacramento, holding a press conference to attract attention to everything."

Many people know Los Angeles, USA, and many people know that Schwarzenegger was the governor of California, but many people don't know that the state capital of California is Sacramento, and any official activities are generally held in that city.

Li Du asked, "What is this press conference for? Shall we interact with reporters?"

The Playboy laughed and said, "To set an example, the government found a group of guys who made a fortune in the warehouse auction industry and showed them to everyone through the media, so as to attract more people to participate in the auction."

Li Du was puzzled, and said, "I have become a guy who has made a fortune before joining the Million Dollar Club?"

Reeves laughed and said, "This list may have been handed over to the state government by the Warehouse and Treasure Picking Association. There is no doubt that you are a legend in the association, and you are a guy who made a fortune."

It was already the end of the month when they came back, and the press conference was just two days later. The warehouse auction was scheduled for July 2, and it was sold for two consecutive days. Some items will be auctioned online on the eBay website.

Unlike ordinary storage auctions, because the government, police stations or banks confiscated things will be counted and valued, so the information of many auction items is very clear.

In this case, it is not so easy to find leaks. It is possible, but the probability is lower than that of ordinary storage auctions.

Although the chance of picking up a leak is low, because the official auction is large in scale and has a lot of good items, the chance of making money is even higher.

Lists of many things are published directly on the Internet, and the homepage of the official state capital website in Arizona has relevant links, and anyone can download the information to see.

Hans found Li Du a list for sale, ranging from Ford Mustang sports cars, jewelry, laptop computers, to aircraft engines, traffic light bulbs, and military stretchers.

As mentioned before, the sources of these items are stolen goods seized by the police, contraband confiscated at the airport or second-hand goods used by government departments.

Browsing the items on the list, Li Du wondered: "I said, there are a lot of good things in here, and the government has not been able to auction them off before?"

Hans said: "First, the price is not suitable, and no one is willing to accept the offer; second, the government does not have so much time and energy to organize too many auctions."

These things on the list are very good, but it is definitely impossible to get them at a low price, otherwise they would have been taken away by interested people.

That is to say, it is impossible to make a fortune just by looking at the items on the list. Li Du still has to go to various warehouses to have a look.

Phoenix has an official warehouse in Arizona. The warehouse covers an area of ​​20,000 square meters. It is dedicated to storing things that are useless and discarded by the government. The Department of Public Services is in charge.

Governments across the United States are under relatively high financial pressure, and the economy is in a recession. The government has long been unable to make ends meet by relying on tax revenue alone.

Li Du found out that the Arizona state government now has a fiscal deficit of nearly 20 billion U.S. dollars, and the California government next door is even better, with a fiscal deficit of more than 40 billion U.S. dollars...

Governor Schwarzenegger was a great bodybuilder and a great actor, but not a great governor, and he is now out of office, leaving a mess for the new governor.

The next day, Li Du drove to the location of the warehouse, an area in the central city of Phoenix.

The warehouse company is located between the Museum of Musical Instruments and the Art Museum, very close to the subway entrance. This is a prime location and the land is very expensive.

Li Du shook his head, and said: "The government is really serious, wasting such a large area to build a warehouse? It should be used to build high-end apartments, and the 20 billion deficit will be filled for you in minutes."

Hans snorted, "Do you think the state government doesn't want to do this? It's just that the museum and the citizens are not happy. They are now vacating the warehouse, and they are probably planning to move out."

There is no difference between government warehouses and ordinary warehouses. They are divided into five types: super large, large, medium, small and mini. Different spaces store different things.

Li Du released the little flying insects, went to the super-large warehouse first, and then saw several cars inside - there were two Ford Mustangs on the list.

The government is very cunning. Unlike warehouse companies, they are not bound by law and cannot enter the warehouse. The things inside are sent in by them, and the location is set by them.

Looking in from the warehouse door, the first thing you can see are good cars and new cars, but there are actually some broken cars, scrapped cars or other messy things inside.

This is not Li Du's goal. It's hard to deal with it if you don't make money. He controls the little flying insects to continue flying down.

As a result, the super-large warehouse in front is mainly filled with things like cars, yachts, and mechanical tools, which can be seen from the outside, and these things don't require much effort.

Continue to look back, ore appeared in the warehouse...

Seeing these ores, Li Du was overwhelmed. The government really took out everything. Where did they get the ores?

The ore in the first warehouse is dark green, with uneven appearance and different sizes, ranging from the size of a fist to the size of a basketball.

Li Du searched online, and according to the characteristics of the ore he described, it was some iron ore.

There are a lot of iron ores, enough to fill up two warehouses. The number of ores in the warehouses behind is less, and most of them are two or more kinds of ores stored together.

There are even some ores that are piled up with some building materials, such as tiles, blue bricks and the like.

Li Du was stunned. The Arizona state government was too good at housekeeping. It was really not willing to throw away anything, and kept everything.

Small flying insects flew over a pile of tiles, and he suddenly noticed some different small bricks in the pile of tiles. These bricks were about ten centimeters in length, four or five centimeters in width and thickness, dark brown in color and rough in appearance.

Li Du felt that these were not bricks. How could such rough bricks be used for construction? He took a closer look, and then came up with an idea, using the ability of the little flying insect to reverse time...
