Chapter 0003: Treasure Hunting in the Warehouse
Of course
Li and Du readily took out their wallets, and Hans's eyes sparkled; then five even shinier one-dollar coins appeared before him
If you can determine the location of the massage chair warehouse, you will surely be able to take a picture of it
This is all I have, you decide how to invite you
Those engaged in this kind of work are referred to as treasure hunters. Li and Du only knew that Hans was doing business outside, but they did not expect that it was this kind of business
With the avatar of the little bug, there are many things he can do, but the seemingly arduous way of making a living by picking up coins allows him to earn his living expenses in the shortest time possible
Hearing the footsteps, Hans said without raising his head: "Hey, Chinese boy, you've been sleeping for so long, are you hungry now?"
Are you treating?
Due to the absence of restrictions such as household registration, young people in the United States prefer renting over purchasing property. However, moving can be quite troublesome, which has led to the flourishing of the storage rental business
As soon as Hannah drove away in her vintage Ford, Li Du stepped over a small bag and prepared to leave
He shrugged and said, "A little, why?"
Li and Du looked at him and shook their heads, saying: "No wonder your business went bankrupt; your arithmetic is truly poor. I am one-third, and you are two-thirds, OK?"
After all, according to the contract, his rent is about to expire
Isn't the rent for the Chinese boy about to expire? Just let him leave! This is Hans's voice
Li and Du's feelings towards Hans are difficult to categorize as good or bad. Although this man has a somewhat hippie style, he has not committed any wrongdoing, at least he has not harmed them.
Hans rolled his eyes in frustration, rummaged through his entire body, and then found a green Alexander Hamilton.
"Hmm." Hans nodded, "This weekend, there are eight warehouses in Flagpole City that are going up for auction. I received insider information that one of the warehouses contains a Kaysler massage chair. As long as I can get my hands on it, heh heh..."
At the entrance, he saw Hans, who appeared to be lounging awkwardly on the floor, engrossed in playing on his phone with great enjoyment
Participating in the auction? Li and Du were very surprised, "Do you still have money to indulge in collecting?"
"Damn it, little bug, tonight I will take you to the sewer to pick up some coins!" Li Du muttered to himself as he looked at the little bug peeking out from his palm.
Hannah chuckled and said, "You know it's not like that. Well, to be honest, Li is in a very difficult situation right now, he is under a lot of pressure, and I do not want to be the last straw that breaks the camel's back. That is not how we, the Fox family, conduct ourselves!"
Hans rolled his eyes again; he was quite fond of this gesture: "What kind of collection is this? What I want to participate in is the warehouse auction!"
Hannah's kindness moved him, but as a proud and honorable man of China, he did not wish to accept pity from others without reason
"Look, we have fifteen dollars, which is enough to order a black pepper beef pizza from Pizza Hut." Hans chuckled proudly, "According to our contributions, I will eat three-quarters of the pizza, and you will have one-quarter."
Of course
In this business, the warehouse company selects a piece of land to construct a batch of warehouses, which are then leased out for use to generate profit, while individuals utilize the fixed warehouses to store their belongings
If the warehouse owner fails to pay the rental fee within a certain period, the warehouse will be legally regarded as abandoned property, and the warehouse owner may dispose of it at their discretion
Li and Du's situation has become somewhat dire
In the evening, Li and Du decided to go out for a stroll to clear their minds, but when they reached the door, they heard the sound of an argument coming from the courtyard outside
Upon hearing his words, Hans displayed an expression of anger: "Who said my business went bankrupt? It's just a minor issue with the funds! To be honest, I returned to Flagpole City this time to participate in an auction, aiming to make a significant profit!"
Li and Du cannot comprehend this notion of adventure, which distinguishes him from Hans. He is a Confucian scholar deeply influenced by the doctrine of the mean, while Hans is an ambitious adventurer.
Upon hearing the conversation between the two, Li Du quietly retreated back into the room. When one is impoverished, aspirations may be diminished; at this moment, it is better for him not to appear, as it would only add to the awkwardness for both parties
The United States is different from other countries in the world; this country has a unique warehouse culture
"Oh, let me be, you know I have no interest in God." Hans interrupted Hannah, holding his head, "Are you really unwilling to send that little boy away?"
Hannah said impatiently: "Leave, leave, leave, how can you speak so lightly of such a cruel matter? Do you have any idea what Li has been through during this time?"
Li and Du arrived in the United States not long ago and are still unfamiliar with local life. They have heard of warehouse auctions as a commercial activity, but they do not understand the details.
Hans shook his head and said, "No, many people are aware of this news. This auction has a total of 8 warehouses, and the massage chair is in one of them. No one knows which one, so I have a one in eight chance of obtaining this massage chair"
Looking at Hans, who searched his entire body and only found ten dollars, he does not believe that this guy has the money to play with art pieces
Warehouse auction
He was unfamiliar with this business model. While waiting for the pizza, he curiously asked, "How do you plan to operate? Is it true that only you know about the massage chair in the warehouse?"
Hans helplessly asked, "Why are you so nice to him? Don't tell me you've fallen in love with this pretty boy."
An one-eighth chance? What is the difference between this and winning the lottery?
At this point, he was almost drooling
What does it have to do with us? Sister, you are too naive, unaware of the treacherous world we live in
Generally speaking, the method of disposal is to auction it off
Hannah said: "I know what you are trying to do, Hans. I am about to go to my night shift, and if I come back to find that Li has left or that he is in a bad mood, I will immediately drive you away! You know I can say it and do it!"
Hans got up and chuckled, "I am also hungry. How about we buy some pizza to eat?"
The one hundred dollar bill features the portrait of Benjamin Franklin, while the portrait of Alexander Hamilton, the first Secretary of the Treasury of the United States, is printed on the ten dollar bill
He shrugged and wanted to leave, but he accidentally caught sight of the small insect tattoo on his palm, and a thought suddenly emerged in his mind
The difference is significant; the chance of winning the lottery is one in eight million, okay
I said to Hans, do you remember that you have a sister at this time? I know the world is fraught with danger, so we must hold goodwill towards others, as Jesus Christ once said...
How about we collaborate? I will help you find this warehouse, you take a picture of it, and then we can share the profits together
In his perception, an auction is merely a gathering of wealthy individuals purchasing a large number of useless items that are purported to have artistic value
"Wow! You Chinese people are all wealthy. I often heard news about Chinese people buying luxury homes when I was in Los Angeles."
What is the fastest way to make money without any cost? Picking up money
Buddy, doesn't anyone know exactly which warehouse the massage chair is in
Hannah cannot possibly ignore her brother, and this house also contains a part of Hans, so when Hans returns, he may have to relinquish the bedroom
