Without Anderson and the Anthonys getting in the way, Li Du had a great time.
After the party, he exchanged contact information with Carberry and Joel and agreed to continue looking for places to play in the future. They had found a common hobby, which was hunting.
After making the agreement, everyone went their separate ways. Li Du had to prepare for the auction.
He went to bed early that night. All the invited treasure hunters went to bed early because there would be a tough battle the next day. There were more than 2,000 containers!
At eight o 'clock in the morning, Li Du, Bell, Magic Hand, and the others went to the Seattle pier with their assistants, ready to join the treasure hunters and head to the giant ship.
The Seattle Harbor was a famous large cargo port in the United States. When they arrived at the pier, they saw countless large loading and unloading equipment. There were all kinds of shore cranes, container gantry cranes, heavy cranes, rotary cranes, tugboats, and rolling facilities. They were like steel giants standing on the shore.
To get to the harbor, they had to pass through the harbor area. There was a vast open-air yard, which was 140,000 square meters. The total storage capacity was 700,000 tons, and the area of the cargo shed was 300,000 square meters.
The main space of the harbor was given to the container terminals, which had an area of 1.4 million square meters. The largest was Harper Island's Pier 18, which had a depth of 15 meters.
Their destination was Pier 18, where the insurance company's yacht was docked.
In addition to the ships, there were also trains. This pier was the heart of the harbor and was connected to the battlefield by rail. This way, containers could be transported directly from the container ships to the double-decker container trains, expanding intermodal transportation.
Watching the huge steel containers being placed on the special train, Li Du exclaimed, "This is completely mechanized? I don't see a single person! "
"Don't underestimate the Seattle Harbor. There are many terminals here that are completely automated. It is the most automated port in the United States," Bell said, pointing to the tower cranes that seemed to be operating automatically.
The insurance company chose to dock the yacht at the most automated terminal for this reason. There were not many people at Pier 18, so when the treasure hunters appeared, the receptionists could easily spot them.
Li Du and his group walked on the pier for a while before someone came to greet them. After checking their IDs, they were sent to the cruise ship.
Insurance companies were very rich, and there was a huge profit margin in this industry. However, this time around, the Korean trade group had suffered heavy losses and urgently needed to cut their losses through the container auction.
The luxurious yacht that was docked at the pier belonged to an insurance company. There was an exclusive logo of the insurance company on the body of the yacht. Every attendant was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, looking very classy.
When Li Du and the others arrived, it was already very close to the agreed time to leave the port. This was the peak time for people to arrive. They had just boarded the ship when more people arrived.
Bell had a wide circle of friends and connections. He had a good reputation among treasure hunters from all over the world, so this had become his home ground. He kept walking around the yacht, and almost everyone who saw him was full of smiles. There were even people who brought him gifts.
In comparison, Li Du's reputation was much worse. There were legends about him in treasure hunter circles everywhere. However, there were not many good things to say about him. That was because he had risen too quickly and made too much money. There were also too many people who were jealous of him.
In short, when a person becomes famous, there will be a lot of trouble, especially when he became famous too quickly and fiercely.
Bell was a good friend. Not only did he go to meet people he knew, but he also brought Li Du along. He recommended Li Du to these people and kept saying good things about Li Du.
For the sake of Bell, most people also showed kindness to Li Du.
Li Du was the kind of person who would be respected tenfold. As long as no one provoked him, he could show the elegance and humility of the Chinese to his heart's content.
Hence, after following Bell around, he had gained quite a number of friendships. Some of the treasure hunters, after chatting with him, were frank with him, saying that he was very different from the rumors.
Another person walked onto the yacht. Bell took a look and shook his head. "Where are these friends from? They are unfamiliar. I have never seen them before. "
Li Du, who was chatting with a few Montana treasure hunters, also looked over. He was just looking casually because he felt that since Bell did not know these people, he would not know these people.
However, when he turned his head, his eyes suddenly widened!
The people who had just boarded the yacht were a man and a woman. He did not know the man, but he was very familiar with the woman next to him. Elegant and elegant, slim and graceful, it was Luo Qun!
He thought he had seen wrongly and subconsciously rubbed his eyes. After rubbing his eyes, he looked again. Yes, it was Luo Qun, the Luo Qun who had said she was going to travel around the world!
At this time, Luo Qun was beside the middle-aged man. She did not say a word and occasionally smiled, consistent with her usual image of a cold and aloof police officer.
She didn't know what method she used, but the middle-aged man beside her obeyed her every word. He ran back and forth, eagerly bringing her wine and delicacies.
Li Du did not know what she was up to, so he pretended to walk past her casually and then whispered, "Hey, surprise, look who I am."
Luo Qun turned her head to look at him in surprise and asked, "Hello, sir, have we met before?"
This surprised Li Du. He looked carefully at the girl in front of him. This was Luo Qun, but why did she speak to him like this? Could it be that this girl had lost her memory?
Li Du took a deep breath and asked, "Sir? I am Old Li, don't you remember? Did you encounter an accident when you were traveling around the world, and that's why your brain has gone haywire? "
After he said this, Luo Qun rolled her eyes. "You're the one who has gone haywire. Of course I know you are Old Li. You know that I know you are Old Li, so why are you asking 'who am I?' That's unnecessary!"
Hearing her speak, Li Du rolled his eyes helplessly. No problem, this was Luo Qun, the hot-tempered policewoman he was familiar with.
Looking at Luo Qun, he said helplessly, "Come on, big sis, I was just joking with you. Alright, let's not talk about this. Why did you come to the sea auction? Have you become a treasure hunter too? "
Luo Qun squinted at him and said, "Yes, isn't it a surprise?"
Li Du was shocked. "But didn't you go on a trip around the world? Why did you suddenly appear and become a treasure hunter? "
Luo Qun said, "I did go on a trip around the world, and I also became a treasure hunter. Why, is there any conflict?"
Li Du smiled bitterly. "No conflict, no conflict, whatever you say."
Luo Qun snorted and said, "Forget it, I won't tease you anymore. To tell you the truth, I'm not here to participate in some bullsh * t auction. I'm here to look for you!"
Li Du asked curiously, "To look for me?"
Luo Qun said, "Look down, there are a few people on the dock preparing to come up. See who they are."
Li Du stood at the side of the ship and looked down. There were four or five men smoking and laughing together. Seeing these people, his body suddenly trembled!
