After the little bug was done looking, Li Du left the door.
Sophie asked curiously, "What did you see?"
Li Du shrugged and said, "Nothing."
Hearing this, Sophie looked disappointed. She pinched Li Du's cheek and said, "Oh, poor baby. Come on, do you want to use a flashlight? It's really hard to see things like this. "
Li Du laughed and said, "Who said it was hard for me to see things? When I said I didn't see anything, I meant there was nothing valuable in there. "
After looking through a few storage units, he still did not see anything. The most valuable item was a piano. It looked good, but the internal structure had been damaged.
He asked Sophie about the value of the piano after its structure was damaged. Sophie said that unless it was a famous piece or had been used by a famous artist, it could only be used as a decoration.
Halfway through, the little bug flew into the storage unit and neatly arranged boxes appeared in front of him.
Seeing this, Li Du perked up. These boxes were big and small, but they had one thing in common: they were well organized. Obviously, the owners valued the items inside very much.
This kind of storage unit was more valuable. Although people could not see what was inside, it had a lot of gambling value. It was usually auctioned at a high price.
However, there were not many people who dared to bid. This was related to the history of the storage auction industry. There was a time in history when storage companies arranged a large number of these carefully organized boxes to deceive treasure hunters, causing many treasure hunters to have lingering fears.
The little bug flew into the box. Li Du saw that the box was divided into four compartments, and each compartment contained a wrapped football.
Seeing this, he immediately remembered the sports equipment storage unit that Lu Guan had mentioned. He controlled the little bug to fly out and look at the storage unit.
Sure enough, more sports equipment appeared in his field of vision.
The baseball transmitter that Lu Guan had mentioned was in there. There were a few boxes stacked together to block its view, but it could still be seen if he looked carefully.
This baseball transmitter was different from the ones Li Du had seen before. Americans loved to play baseball, which was one of the four major sports in the United States, second only to football.
Most of the baseball transmitters that Li Du had seen had a grid basket to hold the baseball, and a spiral arm to launch the baseball, just like a catapult.
This transmitter did not have a basket. It had two layers like an egg tray. In addition, it looked like a small cannon with a straight barrel, which was probably used to launch the baseball.
The transmitter looked well maintained, but its appearance was a little mottled, and the paint had almost peeled off.
In addition, there was also a full set of golf equipment wrapped up, football helmets hung up, and other equipment. As Lu Guan had said, they were all sporting goods.
The boxes were still filled with sporting goods. In addition to the football he saw, there were also basketballs, footballs, and baseballs wrapped in layers of plastic wrap.
This made him feel a little strange. These balls weren't precious at all, so why did they take so much care in preserving them?
After the little bug got closer, he took a closer look and saw a signature on a basketball. However, the handwriting of the signature was very sloppy, and he could not tell what it was.
Continuing to look, there were also signatures on other basketballs. Some of the handwriting was equally illegible, while others could be seen clearly. For example, LeBron James and Kobe Bryant!
When he saw these names clearly, he was shocked. Every name was famous in the United States and even in the global sports world. The names in front of the basketball list were all NBA stars!
He went to watch the football game. As expected, there were also autographs on it. Eli Manning, Deion Branch, Tom Brady …
To Americans, these names were even more shocking. They were all superstars of the NFL, the number one sport in the United States.
There were also autographs on the baseballs. Needless to say, they were all the superstars of the sport.
Finally, he saw a pair of golf clubs. On the shiny silver club, there was a spot protected by a plastic sticker. Below it was a name: Tiger Woods!
Li Du wiped his hair, recalled the little bug, and walked over to Sophie. At the same time, he was determined to get this storage unit!
Looking at his expression, Sophie said, "There's something in this storage unit, right?"
Li Du was stunned. "You can see the change in my expression?"
Sophie pointed at his eyes and smiled. "It's the look in your eyes. Just now, your eyes were lazy and listless. Now, they're full of life. Obviously, you're excited."
This warned Li Du that he had made the right decision to bring Sophie to see the storage unit. Sophie had pointed out a big problem for him.
There was a saying in the storage auction industry: every treasure hunter was an expert at controlling their emotions, and they were also good at acting.
During the auction process, not only did they have to look at the storage units, but they also had to pay attention to each other and look for opportunities from their peers.
Li Du had always thought that his ability to control his emotions was very good, but he had overestimated himself.
After walking around the storage unit station and looking at all 18 units, he had a rough idea of what to do.
After walking around the storage company in the morning, Li Du still had time in the afternoon. He drove Sophie to the Petrified Forest National Park.
The Petrified Forest National Park was only 80 miles away from Winslow. Li Du drove the Hellcat and arrived in about half an hour.
The park had a large number of petrified forests of different densities. They were the most famous petrified forests in the world. They were so famous that the park became one of the top ten national parks in the United States.
Li Du arrived by car and bought a ticket. A tour guide walked up to them and said, "You guys are here for sightseeing, right?"
Sophie waved her hand. "Yes, but we might not need a tour guide."
The tour guide nodded. "You've misunderstood, beautiful lady. I'm not here to promote myself. I'm here to remind you that the national park is very big. If you want to drive through it, it will take you 45 minutes."
Li Du said, "Thank you, thank you for the reminder."
The tour guide continued, "You're welcome. In fact, I want to tell you guys that if you want to truly experience the scenery inside, don't drive. Ride a horse. Riding a horse is the most suitable way to visit."
Li Du had read the tour guide before he came. It also recommended riding a horse. There were horse rentals at the visitor center.
However, compared to driving, the cost of riding a horse was higher. It cost 80 dollars per person per hour.
Li Du was not short of money. He thanked the tour guide and rented two quarter horses. They were both tamed mares and were very docile.
Sophie hesitated. "No, I can't ride a horse. I'm wearing a dress."
Without another word, Li Du bought another set of riding clothes for Sophie.
Sophie looked surprised. Li Du asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
The lady doctor said, "We can ride a strong horse together. I can sit behind you. Oh my god, how could you not think of that? I was worried that riding a horse with you would be a little ambiguous. Apparently, I was thinking too much. "
It was not that Li Du had not thought of it, but that he did not dare to. With his lousy riding skills, he had only ridden once when he bought a horse for the Amish. He had long forgotten about it.
