I was busy until midnight before this matter finally came to an end.
Lying on the bed, Zhu Yu was still a little scared.
If these four people with guns directly intercepted their vehicle on the road and then opened fire, no matter how capable they were, there was a great possibility of being injured or even killed!
I used to hear that more than 90 people die from shootings every day in the beautiful country. Now it seems that this number is really not that much!
Zhu Yu once saw in a short video that someone broke into a Chinese home, robbed and shot someone, but he never expected that it would happen to him!
Zhu Yu fell asleep in a daze until dawn, when Old John called, and Zhu Yu woke up.
"Zhu, were you attacked? Were you injured?"
"No, it's okay." Zhu Yu got up as he called back, "The police came yesterday and asked us clearly. We were acting in self-defense."
He injured three people in self-defense, and the one in the car died from gunshot wounds and impact.
Even the police said that Zhu Yu was lucky - he was able to shoot several people through the wooden board from inside the house, which was incredible luck.
"It's fine. I've also checked. Those people are just after your money... There may be someone behind it, but it's difficult to find out. Do you want to take a break?"
Zhu Yu shook his head and said:
"No, I'm short of money recently. So I plan to try my luck at the warehouse. If there are still unowned luggage for sale at the airport, I also hope to go and have a look."
"That's fine." Seeing Zhu Yu insisting on doing this, Old John said:
"I'll send you the information and you can decide for yourself."
At this point, Old John joked again:
"Zhu, do you know? In less than a month, you helped me earn a commission that no one else had earned in two years before. So if you have anything, please tell me in time."
Old John hung up the phone, Zhu Yu smiled and shook his head.
His relationship with Old John is more than just cooperation. Old John is his benefactor. In any case, this kindness cannot be simply measured by money.
After going downstairs, he saw Aunt Susan cleaning up the living room. Zhu Yu took out two thousand dollars and handed it over:
"Madam, this happened because of me, so the loss will be borne by me. Use the money to hire workers to repair and tidy up this place."
Not only the damages, but also the apology and gratitude to Aunt Susan.
Aunt Susan declined and accepted.
Zhu Yu went out to drive and contacted Jason:
"I plan to open a warehouse today, what about you? Are you going to follow me, or bet on the container yourself?"
"Boss, of course I will follow you." Jason agreed without thinking.
Unexpectedly, Jason was so cheerful, and Zhu Yu felt comforted.
There is a savior helping him, a little brother following him, and he has special powers, is he afraid of a hammer?
After picking up Jason, Zhu Yu told him what happened last night while driving and told him to be careful.
Jason was shocked when he heard this. After confirming that Zhu Yu was fine, he immediately said that he wanted to find someone to find out the truth of the matter.
Zhu Yu didn't stop him. After experiencing Jason's "appeal" last time, Zhu Yu felt that sometimes it would be good to let Jason be a troublemaker.
This time the warehouse is on the edge of New York City, which is considered an urban-rural fringe area.
The warehouses here are all indoors, somewhat similar to centralized commercial buildings in China.
It's just that the compartments in Huaxia's commercial buildings are all for selling things, and here they are all built into warehouses.
I went to the management office to register and learned that a total of six warehouses would be auctioned this time, and there were more than a dozen treasure hunters who came to pick up the missing items, and more people came one after another.
After Zhu Yu and Jason registered, they waited for a while and when it was time to announce, they followed the auctioneer and security guards and walked inside.
Arriving at the auction warehouse No. 1, the auctioneer looked at the form in his hand and said:
“According to regulations, after opening the warehouse, there is a one-minute observation period, and then the auction begins.
You cannot cross the warehouse door during observation. Please abide by the rules. After the auction, the winner needs to pay cash immediately..."
After finishing speaking, the security guard took pliers to cut the iron lock and opened the rolling shutter door.
A musty smell hit my face.
Considering that most of these abandoned warehouses have not paid rent for at least six months, the smell is normal.
What comes into view is a pile of old furniture.
Zhu Yu opened his eyes in the crowd and pretended to observe with everyone.
Although the furniture is old, it is basically well preserved.
On the wall near the inside, there are several boxes, including wooden boxes containing clothes, iron boxes containing repaired furniture, and another... Huh?
Zhu Yu's eyes lit up!
Unexpectedly, the first warehouse I encountered would yield a big harvest!
This is a suitcase containing a small box of jewelry!
Among these jewelry, there are diamond-encrusted gold rings, gold necklaces, gold bracelets, and some gemstone jewelry.
made a bid!
Jason asked Zhu Yu in a low voice:
"Boss, why does this warehouse look less valuable than those containers?"
Zhu Yu was happy and whispered:
"Actually, it's almost the same. Because you don't know what else is behind it, whether it's valuable or not."
When the auction started, this auctioneer was not like those at the container terminal. He spoke very clearly and his sentences were normal.
Zhu Yu was used to listening to the auctioneers at the port, but he felt a little uncomfortable here.
"The starting price is two hundred dollars, and each increase will be no less than ten dollars. Bidding starts now!"
Prices at warehouse auctions tend to be lower, and markups are not high.
Zhu Yu had previously studied that most of the items auctioned here were abandoned by tenants because they felt that the items inside were not as valuable as the rent.
Of course, there are also cases where tenants disappear, have accidents, or forget that there is a warehouse here.
"Two hundred and twenty dollars!"
"Two hundred and thirty dollars!"
"Two hundred and fifty dollars..."
Listening to the quotation here, Zhu Yu was really not used to it.
Frequently competing with Madden Lao, the Joey brothers, and Diana, Zhu Yu became accustomed to easily raising the price to tens of thousands of dollars at each auction.
After shooting back and forth for a long time, the price still hadn't risen to a hundred dollars, which made him feel unreal.
Or maybe you have a bit of a petty attitude?
"Three hundred dollars!" Zhu Yu suddenly increased the price.
This surprised the middle-aged bearded, plump white young man and a petite and beautiful white girl in green who were bidding back and forth.
They saw that Zhu Yu was a stranger and looked at each other with questions in their eyes, where did this Dragon Crossing the River come from? Or a daredevil?
But Zhu Yu doesn't care about this. Others continued to increase prices, and he would follow suit from time to time.
With Zhu Yu's participation, the price rose rapidly. After exceeding one thousand dollars, only Zhu Yu and Big Beard were left bidding.
The bearded man was obviously unwilling to give in, but he was more willing than able, so he only added ten dollars each time.
Zhu Yu was not in a hurry and added twenty dollars each time.
There are many places that need money. Flies and mosquitoes are all meat, so you can’t spend it randomly!
In the end, Zhu Yu won the warehouse for US$1,280.
Then the security guard gave Zhu Yu a lock with a key.
Zhu Yu was a little confused. What does this mean?
