Dinner was held in a restaurant called Bonkers. The interior design was very unique, incorporating all the local attractions. Li Du was amazed.
The floor of the restaurant was made of tempered glass. Below it was a pool, a replica of Lake Powell. When people stood on the pool, it looked like they were walking on the lake.
There were private rooms on both sides of the aisle. The outside of the private rooms was decorated to look like a mountain, making the aisle look like a canyon. Needless to say, this was a tribute to the Glen Canyon.
Although Li Du had not visited the area around Lake Powell, he already had some understanding of the local attractions.
Just like what he saw, Lake Powell was located in the middle of striking red rocks, steep and sharp canyons, and a magical desert landscape, just like the decoration of the restaurant.
Entering the restaurant, Zhang Kai was a little flattered. "Are we having dinner here? That's too expensive, Brother Li, too expensive. "
Li Du did not know the cost of the restaurant. It was Hans who had made the reservation. From Zhang Kai's reaction, it seemed to be a high-class restaurant.
Of course, from the decoration of the restaurant, it was obvious that it was not a low-class restaurant.
Hans was generous, but he would not be taken advantage of. He had only made a reservation for five people in the restaurant, which was just the four of them and Zhang Kai.
After ordering, while tasting the local specialty antelope meat, Li Du asked, "Brother Zhang, do you have any information about the storage units this time?"
Zhang Kai, who was focused on eating a roasted leg of lamb, wiped his mouth and raised his head. He looked around carefully, then said in a low voice, "Yes, there's a storage unit with good stuff."
Li Du said, "Don't worry, no one is eavesdropping on us. You can rest assured and tell us about the situation. If it's true, I won't let our fellow countrymen suffer."
Hearing this, Zhang Kai immediately waved his hand. "What are you talking about? We Chinese should help each other in America. If my information can help you, that's good enough. "
Li Du smiled. "This is the rule of our industry. If the information you give me is useful, I'll have to pay you."
Zhang Kai rubbed his hands. "Is that so? Then I won't stand on ceremony. "
"No need to stand on ceremony, just tell me."
"I'm responsible for the inspection and maintenance of warehouses 51 to 100. Out of the 45 warehouses up for auction, 14 are under my jurisdiction. Among them, I'm going to talk about warehouse 54."
At this point, he once again poked his head in Li Du's direction and said carefully and mysteriously, "There are guns in unit 54. Brother Li, there are quite a few shotguns!"
It was common to find a shotgun in Paige's warehouse because it was one of Arizona's best hunting spots and was frequented by hunters.
"How many? Do you know what kind of gun it is? "Li Du was interested.
Zhang Kai whispered, "I don't dare to say how many there are, but when I was maintaining the warehouse, I saw some gun boxes. There were at least five!"
As for the model number, of course, he had no idea. As warehouse keepers, they were only allowed to enter the warehouse for maintenance when there was a problem.
At this time, the storage company would notify the owner of the storage unit, and the owner would monitor the situation. If the owner could not be contacted, the storage company would send someone to record the entire process. This was to prevent anyone from touching the items in the storage unit.
"Other than unit 54, you have to pay attention to unit 68. There's a fishing machine in that unit. I helped the owner carry the fishing machine before. That thing is worth tens of thousands!"
Li Du asked, "A fishing machine worth tens of thousands? Then why did the owner abandon it here? "
Zhang Kai shrugged his shoulders. "Who knows? Maybe he's rich. The owner of the unit is a rich man from abroad. He fished at Lake Powell for two months. I think he came here for a vacation, and then he left. "
Some rich people rented storage units for temporary storage. When they had enough fun, they would only take the things they liked with them, not the most expensive items.
Ordinary people could not understand the world of the rich, but it made sense. If a rich man from abroad left and returned to his country, it would be very difficult to bring a fishing machine home.
To them, it was better to earn money and buy a new one than to waste time and energy.
Zhang Kai continued to provide them with more information. However, other than these two items, the value of the other items in the storage units was not very high.
Li Du recorded all the information he provided. Just as they finished talking, they also finished eating. Hans went to pay the bill, and the group left.
When they walked out of the restaurant, Zhang Kai was so full that he could barely walk. His stomach was full.
Hans helped him pack a portion of lamb leg and some fried fish. These were the dishes that Zhang Kai had enjoyed the most during the meal. Clearly, they were also his favorite food.
Zhang Kai was happy and embarrassed to get these things. "Brother Li, there's no need to pack these for me."
Li Du said, "Just take it. You can heat it up tomorrow. Oh yes, Brother Zhang, there's something I don't know if I can tell you."
"Go ahead," Zhang Kai said happily after taking the meat and fish.
Li Du said, "After interacting with you, I feel that you're a very capable and attentive person. But why do you not seem to be living a good life?"
Zhang Kai laughed bitterly. "Brother Li, first of all, you think too highly of me. Secondly, this is America. It's good enough for us Chinese to have food to eat. How can we live a good life?"
Towards the end, his bitter laugh turned into a self-mocking laugh. His face was full of misery.
Li Du asked, "When did Brother Zhang emigrate? Why did you emigrate? "
Zhang Kai sighed and said, "It's a long story. Sigh, let's talk about this next time. Anyway, I had no choice but to come over. I couldn't stay in China anymore."
Seeing that Zhang Kai did not want to talk more, Li Du did not ask further. They shook hands and left, returning to the hotel.
When they returned to the room, someone knocked on the door. Turis and the others came over with beer, sandwiches, grilled sausages, and fried fish. They smiled and asked, "Big Li, want some supper?"
Li Du had just finished his meal. How could he eat? Moreover, it was only eight o 'clock at night. Supper my ass. Obviously, these people were here to ask him for information.
He could not reveal all the information. He had to bid for some and then split the profits with Zhang Kai. He would not do the same for others. That way, he would be considered to have broken his promise to Zhang Kai.
Therefore, he hid the information about storage units 52 and 68 and revealed the rest.
This way, he could not be said to be unfaithful. The purpose of the treasure hunters following him was to get some scraps. The meat was definitely for him and Hans.
On the morning of the 17th, Li Du woke up. Hans was still snoring loudly. He called Big Quinn and Godzilla out and drove to Glen Canyon Storage Company to investigate the situation.
