When he first learned about the Tiger Tank, Li Du thought that Lu Guan had gotten the news. Previously, Hans had introduced him to unique information that he had found his own way.
In the end, Lu Guan had given him a common piece of information.
At this time, Li Du realized the importance of Hans. Although Hans was usually unreliable, it turned out that others were even more unreliable than him.
Everyone knew about the existence of the Tiger Tank, so it would be very difficult to get it at a low price. After all, it was a big guy. It was eight to nine meters long, three meters wide, two and a half meters tall, and weighed more than 50 tons!
Li Du was exasperated and gave Lu Guan a stab — a stab to the big piece of roast beef in his hand. However, it also scared Lu Guan a lot. "Boss, this won't kill me, right?"
"You still have the cheek to say that!" Li Du glared at him.
Because they had eaten dinner early, the sky was not dark yet. Li Du decided to go to the storage units that night.
Originally, with his current ability, he could collect information on 45 storage units on the day of the auction. However, after knowing that everyone knew about the Tiger Tank, he felt that he had to check the situation in advance.
If there was a problem, he had to think of a way to solve it in advance.
Li Du first went to the bankrupt storage company, which was the location of the rumored Tiger Tank storage unit. The company was located in the northern part of Tucson, covering an area of about 30 to 40 acres. It was called Combat Squadron Storage Co., Ltd.
With a large area, there were more storage units.
This storage company was established in the 60s and 70s. At that time, the American economy was booming. People frequently changed jobs and moved houses. At that time, technology also began to develop. People frequently replaced appliances and furniture, and the demand for storage units was high. Many storage companies flourished at that time.
Therefore, the construction of storage units in that era was very dense. The large, medium, and small storage units on a piece of land were complicated.
At that time, more storage units could make more money. However, now, the storage industry had begun to decline, and people's demand for storage units was not as high.
Thus, a problem arose. More warehouses in this era meant more maintenance funds. Renovations to the warehouse, moisture-proof treatment, renovation of the walls, replacement of the warehouse doors, etc. There was also the number of guards. All of these required money.
This became a problem for some old-fashioned storage companies. They either demolished the storage units and rebuilt them, or chose to go bankrupt. It was difficult to keep up with the times and continue to make profits.
However, Li Du felt that the bankruptcy of this storage company was not due to poor management, but due to the expansion of the city, the boss decided to sell land to make money.
There were several residential areas around the storage company that were selling like hotcakes. This was a new area that Tucson was developing vigorously. The land was very valuable. Once the buildings were built, they could make a lot of money.
When the car arrived at the entrance of the old storage company, Li Du released two little bugs.
There were more than 200 warehouses inside. Due to the bankruptcy, most of them had been cleared out. There were still about 30 warehouses that had not been claimed by the owners and were about to be cleared for sale.
Of the 31 storage units, 11 were large storage units. Li Du felt that the Tiger Tank, the steel monster, was in one of them.
The warehouses in the United States were divided into five types: super large, large, medium, small, and mini.
The large warehouse had an area of 200 square meters, the medium warehouse had an area of 100 square meters, the small warehouse had an area of 50 square meters, and the mini warehouse had an area of 20 square meters.
The Tiger Tank had to cover an area of at least 50 square meters. Including some accessories, even a medium-sized warehouse might not be able to accommodate it. It could only be stored in a large warehouse or a super-large warehouse.
The Combat Squadron Company's super-large warehouse had been cleared out. Among the warehouses that were being auctioned, the largest was the large warehouse.
The little bug entered a large warehouse. There were all kinds of messy things inside. It probably belonged to the logistics department of a company. There were a lot of office supplies, which were, of course, obsolete office supplies.
This kind of warehouse was absolutely worthless. The logistics department of the company was very stingy. They would not put things that could be used in the warehouse and would not keep anything valuable.
The little bug then flew to the second large warehouse. It was also a pile of rubbish. The two little bugs worked together and searched quickly. Still, there was nothing.
After looking at four warehouses in a row, there was nothing. Li Du thought to himself that there should be something in the fifth warehouse. Five was his lucky number.
Then, the little bug entered the fifth warehouse. What he saw shocked him!
It was a plane!
It was not a helicopter or a small plane. There was a passenger plane inside!
However, it was a scrapped passenger plane. The model was a Boeing 707 produced by the Boeing Company. This was the first generation of Boeing passenger planes. It was produced in the 1950s and had once dominated the world's airspace. It was very famous.
This passenger plane no longer had the glory of the Boeing family. It had been disassembled into several parts. The wings were folded and placed casually at the nose. The paint on the surface of the fuselage had peeled off badly. It looked mottled and old.
The heart of the plane was gone. This plane originally had three engines, but now they were all gone. The dashboard in the cockpit was still intact, but the circuits inside had long been destroyed.
The disassembled plane filled the large warehouse. Li Du shook his head and took the little bugs away, letting them enter the sixth warehouse.
This kind of plane was useless and worthless. Buying it would be a burden. Its owner did not even care about it. Li Du even suspected that its owner had deliberately rented a warehouse to dispose of it.
In the United States, some garbage was troublesome to dispose of. For example, a large amount of electronic waste. Hence, some bastards would rent warehouses and then stuff the garbage that needed to be disposed of into them.
In the future, when the warehouse expired, they would not renew the lease and just throw it away. The rent for the warehouse might be cheaper than the garbage disposal fee.
It was also troublesome to dispose of the scrapped large plane. It could not be sold as scrap metal. Unless it was a collector, it could only be disposed of with its own money.
After looking at the eleven large warehouses, Li Du was depressed. There was no sign of the tank in any of them!
He had no choice but to look at the medium-sized warehouse. If the tank was in the medium-sized warehouse, it meant that the possibility of him buying it was even slimmer.
Compared to the size of the Tiger Tank, the space in the medium-sized warehouse was just enough to accommodate it. If the tank was hidden in the warehouse, there would be no place in the warehouse to hide it. Anyone could see it from the door.
Unfortunately, Li Du found the steel monster in the first medium-sized storage unit!
The news was true. No matter who spread it, it was true. A valuable Tiger Tank had appeared in the warehouse of the Combat Squadron Company.
