This time in Indianapolis, they targeted Walkhorse Warehousing, a warehouse cluster on the edge of the city. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Du didn't understand why Deng Tai Jones, a star with an annual income of several millions, didn't rent a better warehouse for sneakers, such as a small warehouse company for home users.
There are hundreds of warehouses in the company, which serve the general public, and there is everything in the warehouse, which is generally not suitable for storing things with higher value.
The warehouse company is located next to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, a large race track where the annual 500-mile race is held.
At the end of May each year, the circuit becomes crowded, with more than 450,000 spectators.
There are a total of 12 warehouses participating in the auction, and through Kobe, Li Du knew the serial numbers of the warehouses, which are No. 220 and No. 221.
In fact, even if Bryant didn't tell him the serial number of this warehouse, Li Du would be able to find it.
The little flying insect searched twelve warehouses, and the two warehouses No. 220 and No. 221 were full of sneaker boxes, and these boxes were densely piled up in them, probably more than a thousand pairs.
Li Du estimates that there will be no fewer people who know the information in this warehouse, and it is true that Kobe Bryant learned about the situation of the sneakers in the warehouse through the news between NBA players.
But other treasure hunters also have their own channels, and the warehouse company must know what is going on with the sneakers inside, and they will take the initiative to pass on the news in order to generate profits.
This is not illegal, as long as the warehouse company does not say what specific brand of shoes are inside, just describing the appearance of the shoebox, it can attract a lot of treasure pickers.
The little flying insect shuttled through the shoebox and took a general look, and the shoes inside were brand new, including various brands, such as Nike, Jordan, Adidas, Reebok, Under Armour, etc., as well as Chinese brands such as Li Ning and Anta.
Because of the developed sports industry, the American folk have a strong sneaker culture, and many people collect shoes, so some special models of shoes are expensive.
For example, every Christmas, major sneaker manufacturers will launch Christmas sneakers for their own stars, and will also launch autographed exclusive sneakers for them, which are more valuable.
Li Du doesn't understand sneaker culture, he doesn't know which models of shoes are worth much, but they are definitely more valuable with a signature than without a signature.
The star signature on the sneaker was very sloppy, and he didn't recognize a few names, but there was one very interesting one, which was signed in Chinese: Yao Ming.
Of the two warehouses, there are more signed shoes in warehouse 221 and fewer in warehouse 220, and it is estimated that the storage is mainly of various special series of shoes.
In addition to these two warehouses, there is also a nice warehouse with a racing car in it, an extraordinary racing car.
The car is a model, about a meter long, and its uniqueness lies in the material, which is made using small wooden sticks.
Li Du used the small flying insects to turn back time and found that these materials were not ordinary small wooden sticks, but matchsticks.
The maker, a middle-aged man, cut off the match head, left the match stick, glued it together, and carved it with a knife, and finally became this car.
The car is a great decoration to put in the house, it is small but very delicate, and perfectly replicates the appearance of a real racing car.
Obviously, this is the work of a racing enthusiast, and similar artworks are not uncommon in Indianapolis, and many people are fanatical about racing cars and making related art.
Li Du wanted to take the car, not because he liked it himself, but because he felt that it was a good gift for Francis.
Previously, he organized an event for Bruce, and Francis donated the Batman motorcycle for free, and he had to repay the favor.
In addition, after seeing this matchstick DIY race car, he thought of another thing he owned, which was a Ferrari watch motorcycle from the Australian thrift market.
He put the carts away when he got them, and left them alone, forgetting them, when in fact they were just as delicately made, and as well as a gift.
In this way, he decided to take a picture of the warehouse and send the matchstick car to Francis along with the Ferrari car, because he owned several watches and motorcycles, and he could give Christian Bale another one.
Everything is ready, just for the east wind to blow.
With his current ability, he was able to scan the twelve warehouses with ease, and there was no pressure on his energy, and after studying these warehouses, he was still in good spirits.
So he went to the race track not far from the next door with Hans and Brother Wolf to experience the crazy racing culture in the local area.
This speedway is a super attraction in the city of Indianapolis, the venue is very large, there are many tourists, Hans went to buy a ticket, and three people lined up to enter.
They first went to the Hall of Fame Museum in the arena, where 75 cars were on display, many of which were the cars of the champions, which are now treasured.
In addition, there is a huge glass trophy in the hall, courtesy of Tiffany, weighing five hundred pounds and about the height of a person, so you can take a group photo next to it.
At the end of the tour, they went on to enjoy their food.
Indianapolis is a famous agricultural city, and there is a reason why it is called a large rural area, that is, there are many farms and pastures here, and there are naturally many agricultural and animal husbandry products, and it is called the land of corn.
They happen to be on the outskirts of the city, where there are several farmers' markets where you can buy fresh pork, pork chops, beef and mutton, vegetables and grocery foods such as cream and butter, and then go to restaurants to process them.
Just like Australia's seafood processing restaurants, these produce processing restaurants are also distinctive, and the locals like to do it the most, and the food is fresh and costs less.
Hans asks his friends and goes to a restaurant they have introduced called 'Big Eats and Drinks', where the owner and the waiters live up to their name, big fat people who eat and drink.
As soon as the three of them sat down, a fat young man weighing at least three hundred pounds came over, put three large beer glasses for them, and poured some drinks into them.
This is a soda made by the locals themselves, scorched root juice soda, the weather is hot outside, the soda is chilled, poured into the cup, and soon, a layer of water mist hangs on the wall of the cup.
Hans handed over the things they bought to the waiter, who introduced them to how to eat and how to charge, and then introduced them to several restaurant specialties, and finally before they knew it, Li Du and they ordered a lot.
After discovering that he had ordered too much food, Hans became depressed and said, "There are too many, too many, Godzilla and Ooku are not here, how can we eat?" ”
The fat waiter laughed and said, "Dude, to enjoy life is to enjoy the food, eat hard, eat and drink." ”
