As soon as Xiao Ran and the others got out of the car, they immediately attracted countless attention.
"Look, it's that guy Sean"
"I didn't expect him to come too. Today's container auction will be very exciting!"
"Wow! He seems to be that lucky Chinese guy in Los Angeles. I heard that this guy made several windfalls one after another and is worth billions of dollars."
Not only are professional treasure hunters from all over the country paying attention to Xiao Ran, but also gangsters and drug dealers gathered nearby.
Even the FBI agents and DEA agents looked at the group of people curiously.
Fortunately, Elaine and Fang Yufei didn't come, but they went to visit San Diego city under the protection of two bodyguards.
Otherwise, they will definitely attract more attention.
Seeing that it was Xiao Ran and the others who were coming, some professional treasure hunters immediately came over to say hello.
In Las Vegas before, Xiao Ran had met many professional treasure hunters on the West Coast and knew each other.
"Good morning, Sean, I didn't expect you to show up. It seems we are out of luck!"
A professional treasure hunter from Arizona came up to say hello.
Xiao Ran nodded to the other party and said a few polite words.
"Good morning, Bernard, the auction hasn't started yet, so it's not yet certain who will win and who will lose."
Then, several other people came over to say hello.
Xiao Ran answered a few words one by one, with a smile always on his face.
After saying hello, he pointed to the gangsters and drug dealers around him and asked pretending to be curious:
"What's going on with these guys? Who are they? They don't look like their peers!"
The professional treasure hunters were silent, and everyone was a little scared.
After a while, a local San Diego guy whispered:
"These guys are either from Colombia or Mexico, just a bunch of drug traffickers!"
"Some of them belong to the Sinaloa Cartel, some to the Colombian Gulf Cartel, and some guys from the Tijuana Felix Cartel."
"Those guys in uniform are from the San Diego Police Department, FBI, and DEA."
"Wow!"
Xiao Ran exclaimed.
"This scene is really big! There may be very amazing secrets hidden in the containers being auctioned today."
"Is it possible that someone transported poison to San Diego by sea, which attracted so many monsters and monsters?"
Everyone at the scene nodded, obviously having the same suspicion.
In fact, Mexican drug cartels have been transporting drugs by sea to San Diego and then across the United States!
This is an open secret and everyone knows it.
Among them, the largest ones are the Sinaloa Group in Mexico and the Tijuana Felix Group, which occupies a strategic location.
Maybe the Colombians also wanted to make a fortune on this route, but ended up tampering with the Mexicans' cake, which led to the current situation.
In the live broadcast room, the pot was already boiling.
"Fuck, this scene is a bit scary. They are all desperadoes. Even those guys from the FBI and DEA are probably not good people."
"According to descriptions in American movies, DEA and FBI agents are often inextricably linked to drug cartels."
Mingyue and Guzhou said excitedly, obviously watching the excitement and not taking it too seriously.
"According to some information I have read, Mexico's Sinaloa Group and Colombia's Gulf Gang have never dealt with them."
"They are all competing for the US market. It can be said that they are incompatible with each other. Today's container auction looks like it will be very exciting."
Divine Pig Gaishi continued to speak, flying up with excitement as well.
Listening to the discussion of these guys, Xiao Ran could only smile helplessly.
After chatting for a while, the group of them prepared to enter this huge cargo yard.
At this moment, a guy about forty years old with a sinister face suddenly walked over with two of his men.
This is a Mexican guy with sharp and sinister eyes and a tough body. He doesn't look like a good guy.
But compared to the other gangsters and drug dealers, this guy is still a bit human, not so shabby.
Seeing them coming, Anthony immediately rushed forward with two bodyguards and stopped them.
These guys were still somewhat rational and did not take action immediately. They just stared at Anthony and the others angrily.
Immediately afterwards, the guy at the head suddenly said:
"Good morning, gentlemen, I am Romero from Sinaloa, come and say hello"
"I hope you can withdraw from this container auction. There are some things here that you cannot touch."
This guy spoke very politely and his tone was relatively calm.
But the threat contained in these words can be heard by everyone.
His sinister eyes were also full of threats.
Upon hearing this, many professional treasure hunters at the scene fell silent.
There was a bit of worry in each of their eyes.
The other party is from Mexico's Sinaloa Cartel, which is the largest drug cartel in Mexico!
The Sinaloa Group is so powerful that ordinary people cannot deal with it.
Just when everyone was secretly worried, Xiao Ran suddenly said:
"Good morning, Mr. Romero, we are just professional treasure hunters and don't want to get involved in irrelevant things."
"No one knows what will appear in this container auction. We can only know the answer when the auction ends."
"But you can be sure that if we don't participate in this auction, the auction will be canceled and you won't be able to find what you want."
"ah!"
Romero was stunned, obviously not expecting this.
Neither them, nor the Colombians, nor the FBI and DEA.
There is a reason why I am here today.
If this container auction is cancelled, everyone's trip will be in vain.
That result was not what he wanted to see.
Just when he was in a daze, Xiao Ran and the others had already walked towards the door of the goods yard and ignored this guy again.
Seeing this scene, two of Romero's men immediately prepared to stop him.
However, these two guys were stopped by Anthony and the others.
Immediately afterwards, Romero woke up and immediately said in Spanish:
"Let these guys enter the goods yard and see what they can find. We can just stay outside."
"Okay, boss!"
The two drug dealers nodded together and then took a few steps back.
However, they always stared at Xiao Ran's back with greed in their eyes.
Many people, including Romero, behaved the same way.
Obviously, these guys recognized Xiao Ran and knew that he was a super rich man with a net worth of billions of dollars.
This made each of them covet Xiao Ran secretly.
Whether it is the Sinaloa Group in Mexico, the Gulf Gang in Colombia, or the Felix Group in Tijuana.
Kidnapping and ransom are their specialty and one of their main means of generating income.
At this time, Xiao Ran was undoubtedly the most valuable kidnapping target.
While talking, Xiao Ran and the others had arrived at the entrance of the goods yard.
Different from the previous container auctions, this auction requires strict verification of the identity of the participants.
At the entrance to the cargo yard, the auction house has set up a security check channel.
Everyone participating in this auction must identify themselves and undergo security checks.
The auction house did this because of the gangsters and drug dealers who gathered outside the yard.
Seeing Xiao Ran and the others, two auction house staff members immediately came over to greet them.
"Good morning, Mr. Sean, welcome to this container auction"
The auction house manager greeted me politely.
Xiao Ran didn't feel surprised at all that this guy knew him.
Now all the auction house executives in the United States, especially the managers and auctioneers of many auction houses on the West Coast, probably know him.
After saying hello and getting to know each other, the auction house manager immediately pointed to the security check channel next to him.
"Gentlemen, all buyers who enter the cargo yard and participate in this container auction must register and identify themselves."
"More importantly, guns must not be brought into the auction site. This is for safety reasons. I hope everyone will cooperate."
"Bodyguards are not allowed to enter the auction venue and can only wait outside. This is also for safety reasons."
Hearing this, everyone nodded.
Many professional treasure hunters at the scene agreed with this request.
We are here to hunt for treasures, not to fight, so naturally the safer the better.
Immediately afterwards, everyone turned to look at Xiao Ran.
Everyone knew he must be armed.
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded.
"This is good. Everyone needs a safe auction, and I am happy to cooperate."
As he spoke, he suddenly reached out and pulled out an HK45 pistol from his waist, and handed it to Anthony.
That wasn't the end yet. He raised his right leg again, lifted up his trousers, and took off a saber from his calf.
Seeing this scene, everyone at the scene secretly gasped and were shocked.
Sure enough, just like the legend, Sean is always fully armed no matter where he goes.
Who can afford to offend such a fierce guy?
After disarming himself, Xiao Ran whispered a few words to Anthony before starting to register and undergo security inspection.
After a while, the group of them entered the goods yard.
Then he boarded several golf carts parked nearby and drove straight to the depths of the cargo yard.
Soon, these golf carts arrived at the auction site.
At this time, many buyers had gathered at the scene, numbering fifty or sixty people.
There are both professional treasure hunters and treasure hunting enthusiasts.
But more often than not, there are some guys with sinister faces.
These guys are basically Hispanic, and they are clearly divided into three groups, each of which gathers together.
No need to ask, they belong to three different criminal groups.
They are the Mexican Sinaloa Cartel, the Tijuana Felix Cartel, and the Colombian Gulf Gang.
Seeing these guys, Kevin and the others frowned, their eyes full of worry.
Xiao Ran acted very relaxed and seemed a little excited.
