When the yacht got close to the giant ship, it could dock directly with the bridge.
In the distance, the wind was howling and the waves were rolling. The big yacht was swaying in the waves. Li Du and the others felt like they were on a roller coaster.
However, the anchored ship was as steady as a mountain. The rolling waves hit it, but it was like a reef on the seashore. No matter how the wind and rain hit it, it did not move!
The bridge was lowered, and they carefully climbed up the ship. The person in charge of the insurance company smiled and said, "Everyone, please get on the ship. We have bought sufficient insurance for you. You don't have to worry about anything from the moment you set sail."
Hearing this, a fool jumped into the water, swam all the way to the ship's ladder, and climbed up the ladder, showing off his strong physique and outstanding athletic ability.
The person in charge was a little scared and quickly said, "The waves are very strong today. Everyone must be careful. Although we have bought sufficient insurance, you have to understand that if you have an accident, you will not be the one to enjoy the insurance compensation!"
Amidst the laughter, the others obediently followed the bridge and boarded the cargo ship.
After boarding the cargo ship, the moat became smooth. Li Du looked up at the high stacks of containers and exclaimed, "There are so many boxes here."
Each container had a number on it, and different numbers represented different goods.
The purpose of the insurance company's auction was to make as much profit as possible. Therefore, unlike ordinary storage auctions, they did not keep the contents of the storage confidential. They gave some hints.
Everyone had a stack of paper in their hands, which was bound together to form a booklet, which recorded the information of the containers on the cargo ship.
General containers, open-top containers, platform containers, refrigerated containers, bulk containers, ventilated containers, tank containers, animal containers, car containers, composite containers, clothing containers, and so on!
In order to deceive the reporters, shareholders, and investors, the Zhang Baogao had brought a large number of containers with it. Some of the containers were empty, but they were still mixed with the containers filled with goods.
The giant ship did not go straight to its destination after leaving the port. It had several stops along the way. It needed to resupply at the stops, and then it would bring some local containers.
Therefore, under such circumstances, the boxes on the ship were a little messy, and it was not easy to follow the map.
In addition, the insurance company did not reveal the exact situation of the goods in the box. They only gave general information and vague descriptions of the goods, creating a sense of mystery to increase the value of the box.
If the treasure hunters wanted to find something, they would have to rely on their own eyes. They had the brochures, but they were still not allowed to enter the containers.
Of course, many of the containers were filled to the brim, so they couldn't enter.
Li Du looked at the introduction in his hand. Refrigerated containers were excluded. These containers were more valuable than the goods inside. They were used to transport frozen or low-temperature goods, such as fish, meat, fresh fruits, vegetables, and other foods. To treasure hunters, these things were worthless.
Most of the treasure hunters went straight to the car containers after boarding the boat. These things were very valuable and easy to sell. After all, the United States was a country on wheels. Every city had a large number of used car dealerships.
The car container was a simple box bottom with a steel frame, with end walls and side walls. The bottom of the box used anti-skid steel plate, divided into single-layer and double-layer.
This kind of container was not a standard container, but a modified container. It was very easy to identify. Because the height of a typical car was 1.35 to 1.45 meters, and the height of a standard container was about two and a half meters, it was not cost-effective to use only three-fifths of the container's capacity.
In order to improve the container's capacity, the car containers were modified. They were either taller or lower, and they were easy to identify among the standard containers.
People rushed over excitedly, but when they looked inside, they were depressed: it was all old cars!
Korean and Japanese cars were still quite popular in the United States because they consumed less fuel, were easy to repair, and cost less to maintain. In the current economic environment, they were more suitable for American families than gas guzzlers.
Although they were popular, the prices of cars in these two countries were lower, and the prices of old cars were even lower.
The Zhang Baogao had a large number of car containers scattered on the giant ship. They were supposed to be the star of the show, but after discovering that they were all old cars, the treasure hunters lost interest.
The profit margin was small, and buying a used car was risky because the treasure hunters could not go in to check the condition of the car. If there was a problem with the car itself, it would be a big loss for them to buy it.
Li Du released the little bug. He did not go to the car containers, platform containers, or other large cargo containers. These containers could basically only hold one thing at a time, and there was no chance of finding something good.
His target was the general cargo container, which was a general purpose container with a wide range of applications. Except for goods that needed refrigeration, insulation, and a few special goods, as long as the size and weight of the goods were suitable to be transported in a container, it could be used.
Regarding the general cargo container, the introduction book had the least information, and some were not even included in the statistics.
Li Du found a general cargo container and climbed onto it. In terms of structure, general cargo containers could be divided into three types: open at one end, open at both ends, and have side doors.
The container he was looking for had a door at one end, which had the smallest exposed area and the least number of items. It was the most suitable for finding something good. After the little bug entered, as expected, a large number of general cargo appeared.
There were neatly combed wigs, boxes of sports shoes, boxes of tablets, boxes of Samsung mobile phones, and a few boxes with beautiful clocks and watches.
This box had a lot of profit. Li Du silently marked it, and then carefully evaluated it.
One of the little bugs searched around him for the goods in the container, while the other one followed Stein and Li Du.
The two of them had originally come with a few treasure hunters, but after boarding the ship, the two of them went on their own. They wandered around the container, but instead of looking at the introduction book given by the insurance company, they looked at a piece of paper.
It was a customs declaration list with a box number on it. They were looking for the box according to the number.
The two of them were cautious and stopped immediately when someone noticed them. They only went to look for the box when no one was looking, thinking that their actions were flawless.
Finally, after searching for a while, they stopped in front of a refrigerated container.
Li Du was puzzled. What could they have stored in a refrigerated container? This kind of container was the most worthless, because they were used to store vegetables, meat, and the like.
The refrigerated container was deserted, and the two of them stood out a little, so they went to take a look. After confirming that it was the box, they quickly left.
Sneaky. Li Du sneered, and the little bug flew into the box.
