After coming out of the bar, Zhu Yu went to the supermarket and bought two half-finished roast chickens and brought them back to the rented house.
Aunt Susan happened to be sitting in the yard basking in the sun, so Zhu Yu showed her the roast chicken:
"Lady Susan, this is for you. Thank you for the pie, it was so delicious!"
"Really? That's great! I will give it to you after it is baked." Aunt Susan was very satisfied with Zhu Yu's knowledge and knowledge. He is a good Chinese young man.
The next day, Zhu Yu drove to the address given by Old John.
Sure enough, it is not far from the port. There are many small warehouses built here, which are basically the structure of Chinese color steel prefab houses.
Zhu Yu followed John's instructions and went to the management office. A fat white middle-aged woman sat in front of the counter.
"What business do you do?" the other party asked.
“Purchasing exploration rights to an abandoned warehouse.”
"Basic exploration fee of one hundred and eighty dollars, tax of fourteen dollars, cleaning deposit of one hundred dollars, total..."
At this point, the fat woman started pressing the calculator.
"Two hundred and ninety-four dollars." Zhu Yu couldn't help but say, do you still need a calculator for this number? Can the second grade students of Huaxia Elementary School do math orally?
The woman glanced at Zhu Yu strangely, with a bit of displeasure in her eyes. She lowered her head and reset the calculator to zero before recalculating.
Zhu Yu understood a little bit. The other party felt that he had interrupted her calculated thinking - q I'll go!
"Two hundred and ninety-four dollars." The woman saw the number on the calculator, looked up at Zhu Yu, and said expressionlessly.
Zhu Yu paid the money, and the other party took out a board with more than a dozen warehouse numbers on it. The woman said to Zhu Yu:
"Choose one?"
Zhu Yu was stunned for a moment, it turned out to be this kind of operation!
No need to bid, just blind buy!
Zhu Yu hesitated for a moment and asked:
"Can I go over and have a look and then buy it?"
"It's all locked, what can you see?" The woman was a little impatient.
"I plan to buy three!" Zhu Yu used his trump card.
The woman hesitated and agreed.
Zhu Yu glanced at it, wrote down the numbers, and turned around to go out to look at the warehouses.
"Hold your voucher!" the woman leaned out of the counter to remind him.
Zhu Yu turned around, took the voucher, thanked the woman, and hurriedly went to see the warehouses.
Because he found that other cars were already coming. Most of those people were here to pick up blind boxes from the warehouse.
There were more than a dozen numbers. From near to far, Zhu Yu looked at No. 4 first. He scanned it with his eyes and saw that there was a small lawn mower. It was second-hand and probably not worth a hundred dollars.
There were some machine parts left, so Zhu Yu simply gave up.
In Warehouse No. 11, there are more than a dozen fishing rods and several boxes of deep-sea fishing bait (the kind that imitates small fish). There is a price tag on it, fifteen dollars a box, and there are about ten boxes.
There was a large box of runner. What surprised Zhu Yu was that one of the runner boxes had a price tag of three hundred and fifty US dollars!
Is this thing so expensive?
I’ve written this down and will move on to the next one.
Among the dozen or so warehouses, Zhu Yu singled out two in particular. One is the fishing rod number 11. Zhu Yu estimated that it could be sold for about five thousand dollars, which was a small profit.
The second one is Warehouse No. 17, which contains gun cases, pistols, and four boxes of ammunition!
In addition to these, Zhu Yu also found that there were two professional-grade DJI drones and two toy-grade drones inside.
Although it is a second-hand product, the box, invoice, etc. are all very complete, which is a good harvest.
The total price of the items here is not as high as that of the fishing rod. Of course, it is also possible that Zhu Yu doesn't know the goods and has to ask Old John for help in appraising them.
Zhu Yu told the woman that he wanted to buy four warehouses and the other two. One of them, No. 24, contained some farm tools, chain saws, circular saws, etc., both new and second-hand. The total could be sold for seven to eight hundred dollars.
Another No. 33 contained a second-hand hard-bottomed plastic boat and some barrels. The more valuable thing is a relatively large marine gasoline engine. This one looks very powerful and can be sold for five to six hundred dollars.
The rest are just not that good.
Zhu Yu quickly returned to the management office and happened to see several people paying money here.
Seeing Zhu Yu coming, the woman said to him:
"Wait a moment, this person will do it for you after you pay the money!"
Zhu Yu took out the money to make up the money and waited.
The woman said to the people behind:
"He has completed the formalities just now, and now he is waiting for the number to be picked."
Others knew that these warehouses were locked and there was no point in walking around, so no one fought for them.
However, someone saw Zhu Yu and asked:
"Zhu, are you coming to see the warehouse too?"
Zhu Yu felt that this face was familiar, but he didn’t know the name. He must have seen him during the container auction, so he said:
"Yes! The competition in the container is too fierce, and I don't have much capital, so I just come here to gamble on my luck. What about you?"
The man smiled bitterly and said:
"Me too! I thought I could pick up big leaks in the container auction, but who knew that this bet not only depends on your eyesight, but also your financial resources! I don't have much capital, so I came here."
"Then I wish you good luck!" Zhu Yu said with a smile.
The man also said sincerely:
"I also wish you good luck - I think you have always had good luck, and you should be able to do it this time too!"
"It's your turn!" The white woman interrupted the conversation between Zhu Yu and the man.
Zhu Yu nodded apologetically to the man and walked over to pay for the pick.
Then he discovered that No. 24, who had a chain saw, was picked by the person from before!
I had no choice but to say it was unlucky and reported the numbers:
"No. 11, No. 17, No. 33, No. 38."
On the 38th, he remembered that there were a few boxes of unknown parts inside, but not much else.
These parts are still new, so they should be worth something, right?
That person was also a little surprised when he saw that Zhu Yu actually spent more than a thousand dollars to buy four warehouses.
Zhu Yu smiled at him and went to open the warehouse.
The car drove directly to the warehouse. Zhu Yu took the pipe wrench borrowed from the management office and cut the lock and opened the warehouse.
Since I have seen it all, there are no surprises.
But Zhu Yu still had to pretend to be surprised:
"Wow! It turns out that the last owner was a fisherman!"
The person we were chatting with also came over and said:
"Maybe she's a beautiful girl fishing - look at that photo, it should be hers, right?"
Only then did Zhu Yu discover that there was a small photo frame next to the plastic box where the runner was placed, and a beautiful woman in a bikini was smiling at him.
It doesn't matter whether she is a beauty or not, these things are all taken care of by yourself anyway.
"Zhu, you are so lucky!" The man looked at the fishing rods and said in surprise:
"This fishing rod alone costs US$2,000 new... Although it is a bit badly worn, someone will definitely take it. After all, it is a famous brand!"
There are dozens of them here!
"Oh, not all...well, there are four, which is not bad."
Zhu Yu really didn't expect that a fishing rod was so expensive!
But considering that the wheel is more than three hundred dollars, that’s about it.
The man stretched out his hand to Zhu Yu:
"My name is Tucker. If you don't want to introduce me, please add my contact information. Sometimes I also deal with second-hand goods!"
"Okay." Zhu Yu added his contact information, and that person also went to open his own warehouse.
Zhu Yu cleaned up some rubbish and didn't dare to throw away the rest - he originally thought those fishing rods cost more than ten dollars each, but now this was beyond his knowledge!
Well, let’s leave the headache to Old John!
