Forty-five storage units were finally sold after two days and twenty-six hours.
The auction lasted until ten o 'clock in the evening for two consecutive days. This was the most intense auction that Li Du had ever participated in, and he almost collapsed!
Of course, his stamina and energy were not that bad. It was mainly because he had been using the little bug, and he was not used to the hot and humid weather in Los Angeles. He also had to fight with Frank's team.
Fortunately, the auction was over, and there were many treasure hunters who were in the same bad condition as him, so no one noticed his abnormality.
Looking at the treasure hunters who were sighing and dispersing, Hans sighed and said, "Everyone's stamina is much weaker now. When I first entered this industry, I participated in a military warehouse auction in Alaska. That was really torturous!"
"Speaking of military storage auctions, it seems that we are preparing to withdraw our troops from Iraq? Bellak promised during the election that his first task after coming to power would be to withdraw troops, "Olly said.
Bellak was the name of a politician. When he participated in the US election, he had used a policy plan to get out of the quagmire of war to gain votes for himself.
Turis said listlessly, "Hurry up and withdraw troops. D * mn it, my brother is in Iraq. Every day, our family has to pray for him!"
"Isn't that right? I really don't know why that idiot George Bush started the war in Iraq. We spent two trillion dollars, and then? "
"And then he left a strong mark in history. If we were to choose the most aggressive leader in history, he would definitely be on Mount Rushmore."
"Yes, and the d * mn war in Afghanistan. When can we withdraw troops from Afghanistan?"
Li Du was silent. Two years ago, China had held the first Olympic Games in history. His country was in a period of national jubilation and peace.
After coming to America, the more he learned, the more he felt that the leadership in China was wise.
The export of military force could easily lead to militarism. In contrast, it was better to quietly develop the economy and national power.
Hans said, "Let's wait and see. We definitely can't withdraw troops in a short time. Even if we withdraw troops, the military storage auction will be held in Iraq. We can't participate without some power. "
Li Du asked with interest, "There's a military storage auction? Is it worth it for the army to risk losing confidential information to earn money from selling storage units? "
"They won't lose any confidential information," Hans said. "They will double check that there are only unimportant things in the warehouse before auctioning them off."
"Also, military storage auctions aren't as simple as this. You'll have to spend hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars to bid for many units!"
"Yes, think about it, buddy. This isn't a small amount of money. Military storage auctions usually have hundreds of storage units up for auction. The final profit could be as high as billions!"
Li Du exclaimed, "So storage auctions are such a huge industry?"
"What you see is just the tip of the iceberg. If you dive underwater, you will know — sh * t, the iceberg is too big and too scary!" Hans patted him on the shoulder.
As they chatted, they returned to the truck and quickly went back to rest, saving their strength for tomorrow's work.
According to the storage auction rules, after the auction ended, the treasure hunters only had 24 hours to clear the storage units.
The Hollywood film companies would not be as kind as the real estate developers to extend the deadline. These warehouses were going to be reused soon, so there was not much time left for the treasure hunters.
Li Du woke up the next morning at the crack of dawn. Together with Hans and Godzilla, they rushed to the warehouse and started working.
They had bought two storage units, but the storage units were larger. It would be difficult for Godzilla to clear them all during the day.
Turis, Olly, Reeves, and Big Beard Carl all came to help. There was strength in numbers.
Li Du's performance at the auction had won over the treasure hunters of Flagstaff. They had already regarded him as a leader in the industry.
Compared to the previous two days, the storage unit was quieter this time. However, there were still quite a number of people. The treasure hunters who had come to clear the storage units had all come. There were also some treasure hunters who came to watch the show.
The Iron Knight drove the truck with Olly and the others to the entrance of the storage unit and was about to slow down and enter.
At this moment, a Hummer jeep suddenly sped up and cut in!
The Hummer was known for its mobility and explosive power. This thing had the nickname of "King of the Wild." Under normal circumstances, it was used by the military.
In front of it, the truck was as slow and clumsy as the Goliath that David had dealt with. Li Du watched as the car overtook him from behind and cut in front of him.
"Sh * t!" Hans, who was in the passenger seat, was shocked. "Is the driver an idiot? He's really not afraid of death … "
Before he could finish his sentence, the Hummer that had cut in did not enter the storage unit. Instead, it slowed down and started to back up slowly.
Hans was so angry that his lips trembled. "What is this? What is this car doing? D * mn it, did it open the wrong door? "
The Hummer backed up, and Godzilla had to back up as well. They couldn't just wait for the Hummer to crash into them, right?
Although they were using trucks, they might not be able to crash into the Hummer.
Besides, the Iron Knight was a new car. Li Du's heart would ache if it was scratched, let alone if it was hit.
Turis and the others, who were at the back, did not understand the situation. They stuck their heads out of the driver's seat and shouted:
"Li, what's going on?" "Why are we backing up?" "Buddy, I almost hit it!"
Li Du smiled bitterly. "There's a Hummer in front of us backing up. Let's give way."
The Hummer backed up a distance, and a few trucks with Rottweilers painted on the back of the truck drove over. They cut the queue and drove in confidently.
When the trucks had passed, the Hummer started up again. The window rolled down, and a middle finger was waved at them.
Hans, who was in the passenger seat, was furious. He shouted, "F * ck, it's Frank's son of a b * tch!"
Li Du was also furious. He shouted, "It's him? This b * stard is too much! "
Needless to say, those trucks belonged to Frank. He had used the flexibility of the SUV to cut the queue, forcing Li Du's convoy to back up so that his truck could enter the storage unit first.
Understanding this, Li Du said angrily, "If I had known, I would have hit this b * stard!"
Godzilla said in a muffled voice, "It's not too late!"
Li Du shook his head. Earlier, he had hit the Hummer because he did not brake in time. Now that he had hit the Hummer, it was intentional murder.
According to California law, if a truck hit a car or a pedestrian, it could be charged with intentional murder.
The two convoys stopped one after the other. Frank and York appeared outside the car. They gave Li Du a disgusting smile and said, "Chinaman, how does it feel to eat sh * t behind us?"
Li Du laughed coldly. "Laugh all you want. I hope you guys can still laugh later!"
Frank said proudly, "I will not stop laughing today because I have ten storage units in my account! And these ten storage units can all be profitable. At least three of them can be profitable! "
