Chapter 210: Great Hope Qi Technique!
Such a fun thing, in terms of Yang Jing's temper, how could he not participate?
So early the next morning, Yang Jing and two bodyguards, led by Lin Dan, drove to the port of Houston.
Thanks to Galveston Bay, Houston has an excellent natural deep-water port. As the largest city in Texas, the fourth largest city in the United States, the American space center, and the largest crude oil export port in the United States, the Port of Houston has a cargo throughput of up to 200 million tons a year, and is known as the second largest international commercial port in the United States.
Galveston Bay provides an excellent natural shelter for the Port of Houston, so that hurricanes that often run rampant in the Gulf of Mexico cannot cause much damage to the Port of Houston, which is deep in Galveston Bay.
The original Port of Houston was built on both sides of the Buffalo River, a river that runs through downtown Houston with a wide and deep channel downstream, so the first Port of Houston was built around the river. Until now, the nearly 30-kilometer-long stretch of the lower Buffalo River to the mouth of the river has been lined with dense harbors and large oil storage tanks.
It's just that with the development of society, the original port of Houston can no longer meet the needs of larger and larger oil tankers and cargo ships, so around the northwest coast of Galveston Bay, from Baudun to Laporte, to DeBrook, and finally through Texas City to the southernmost Galveston, a new port group stretching for dozens of kilometers has appeared, and thousands or even tens of thousands of cargo ships and oil tankers enter and leave the port here every day.
When Yang Jing and the four of them arrived here, they were also shocked by the spectacular busy scene here. It's really hard to see such a huge port anywhere else. For example, those supertankers with a load of more than 200,000 tons are docked at the port, and the hull is more than 300 meters long and dozens of meters high, making these supertankers look like giants lying horizontally.
Yang Jing: The place they came to is located in the small city of Laporte. Laporte and Betun guard the estuary of the Buffalo River to the north and south to the north, and to the north of the town is the estuary of the Buffalo River, where there is a huge container terminal.
Yang Jing: The place they came to is located on the south side of this container terminal.
A large storage and transportation company called the Deep Water Port has built more than 400 warehouses of various sizes here to provide warehousing services for Laporte and the people in the surrounding area.
After the four of them got out of the car, Lin Dan pointed to the east of this huge warehouse group and said, "Brother Yang, the warehouses that will be auctioned tomorrow are the more than one hundred and fifty warehouses located in the east of the warehouse area. This kind of port warehouse usually has good things hidden, as for whether we can pick up the leaks, it depends on our luck and vision. ”
Yang Jing asked, "How can this thing be auctioned?
"Let's see, when the auction is held tomorrow, the storage company will open the doors of these warehouses, and then let the treasure hunters who come to the auction take turns to watch. However, the viewing time is only one minute, and whether you can choose a valuable warehouse within this minute depends on experience and vision. ”
"Dizzy, it's only a minute, a minute is not enough to even go into the warehouse and go around. Yang Jing rolled his eyes helplessly.
Lin Dan said with a wry smile: "Brother Yang, you are mistaken, this minute of viewing time is just for the treasure picker to stand at the door of the warehouse to watch, and the treasure picker cannot enter the warehouse, so ......" Lin Dan spread his hands and made a gesture that you understand.
"Isn't this nonsense? Just standing at the door and watching? Don't let me in, how can I choose this sister? If everything in the warehouse is covered with something, then what do you think? I look at the warehouse auction to fool people, right?" Yang Jing couldn't help but complain, he also knew that it was estimated that this was a kind of regulation of the American warehouse auction, which was effective for all treasure hunters.
Sure enough, Lin Dan continued to explain: "Brother Yang, this kind of rule that only looks at and does not allow entry is for all treasure pickers, as long as they are treasure pickers participating in the auction, they must comply with this rule and are not allowed to enter the warehouse, otherwise, the security personnel of the storage company will expel the treasure pickers who violate the regulations." ”
"Besides, after the warehouse opens, there are security guards watching you, and you can't get in even if you want to. ”
Yang Jing shook his head helplessly, "Then how can you let the treasure picker identify whether there are good things in the warehouse?"
"It's a matter of eyesight and luck. Of course, some treasure picking sidewalks are deeper, and you can know that there are high-value things in that warehouse before the auction, and you should understand this kind of thing, there are always some special people who are different in every industry......"
"Aren't those people violating the law?"
"Violations? Who can say they violated the rules? People just made reasonable use of some off-market rules, and then knew some information in advance. As long as these people do not violate the rules on the day of the auction, then they have the right to participate in the auction. Actually, I've done this kind of thing before, and I will know some news in advance when I hold a warehouse auction in San Francisco...... But here, this is Houston, and I don't have those connections to know some insider information in advance, so we're here today to try our luck. ”
Seeing that Lin Dan admitted that he was very single, Yang Jing also pointed at him and smiled.
However, even if we are not allowed to see it, will we not be able to do it? Could it be that we are here today to try our luck?
Just kidding! You really think the "Heavenly Eye" function of the Holy Ring is an ornament!
So Yang Jing smiled and said to Lin Dan and the two bodyguards: "The three of you are watching for me on the side, I want to perform the family heirloom 'Great Hope Qi Technique', and see if there are good things in these warehouses." ”
Hearing Yang Jing's words, Lin Dan and the two bodyguards all stumbled at their feet, "Dawang Qi Technique"? What the hell is that?
Seeing the expressions on the faces of the three people, Yang Jing glared and said, "Slippery, look at the wind! If I delay my Great Wangqi Technique, today's bonuses will all be dead!"
As soon as these words came out, even Yang Jing himself was amused, and several people laughed.
The laughter caused a few people not far away to point at this side, and it was obvious that those people should be treasure pickers, who came to step on the spot in advance.
Yang Jing looked around, then pointed to a building not far away and said, "Xiaolin, can we go up to that building?" I can't see it all from standing here, I want to go up there and have a look." ”
Lin Dan glanced at the building, nodded and said: "That building should be the office building of the container terminal, it shouldn't be difficult for us to get in, it's a big deal to go in under the guise of handling business." ”
Yang Jing nodded and said, "Then why are you still stunned here?" ”
More than ten minutes later, four people stood on the roof of the office building. Looking down from the roof of the seven-storey office building, you can see the large expanse of warehouses to the east of the storage area.
Yang Jing decisively launched the "Sky Eye" skill, and suddenly, a warm current poured into his eyes.
When I opened my eyes and looked into the distance, I saw that the warehouses had become a little hazy, but most of the warehouses did not appear in other colors, but a hazy red-orange air mass appeared above more than a dozen warehouses, and in a warehouse at the very edge of the warehouse area, a red light rose to the sky.
This kind of scene made Yang Jing's heart happy, although it was the first time he used the Sky Eye Skill to conduct a large-scale observation, but the scene in front of him immediately made him understand what this kind of large-scale observation was all about.
When he unraveled the five pieces of jade wool from Xu Jianmin before, Yang Jing had used the Tianyan skill once, but that time he used the ability to see through. In order not to damage the jadeite in the wool, Yang Jing used the ability to see through the eyes of the sky.
But this time, the ability to see through is useless, but this large-scale observation skill is just right.
Anyway, the warehouse doesn't let people in, as long as you know which warehouse has high-value things, it's OK.
Obviously, those warehouses that have not changed much must have nothing good in them. The more than a dozen warehouses with red-orange air masses above them should have something of great value in them. As for the red-hot warehouse, there must be something of great value in it.
"Xiaolin, give me a piece of paper and a pen!"
Lin Dan quickly took out paper and pen from his bag and handed them to Yang Jing.
Yang Jing had been standing there motionless looking at the warehouse below since he had gone to the roof, and now he suddenly had an order, although Lin Dan had used the so-called "Great Wangqi Technique" as a joke before, but after seeing Yang Jing's serious posture, he couldn't help but muttered a little in his heart.
Yang Jing took the paper and pen and quickly drew on it, and soon, the location of more than 150 warehouses that will be auctioned tomorrow was drawn by Yang Jing. Of course, the red-glowing warehouse was drawn a circle by Yang Jing, and the more than ten warehouses with red air masses were also marked by Yang Jing.
"Brother Yang, what are you drawing? Could it be the location of the warehouse?" Lin Dan asked curiously while looking at the thumbnail drawn by Yang Jing while stretching his neck.
Yang Jing put away the Tianyan Skill and said with a smile: "That's right, according to my family's ancestral Great Hope Qi Technique, I can now determine which warehouses are worth our sale tomorrow." Well, especially this warehouse, I have to take it down tomorrow. ”
Lin Dan took the picture that was drawn so that normal people couldn't understand it, and looked at it several times before he asked hesitantly: "Brother Yang, are you sure that this is a thumbnail of the location of the warehouse and not grapes?"
"Grapes, what kind of eyes do you have, how can I draw grapes?" Yang Jing was puzzled.
"Brother, my good brother, look at this painting, this is clearly a string of grapes......" Lin Dan spread out the painting, one circle after another, and there was a line between the circle and the circle, at first glance, it did seem to be a large bunch of grapes......
Yang Jing grabbed his hair, "Oh...... It seems to be a bit abstract. Well, brother, those circles represent a warehouse, and because the drawings are more connected, there are these lines in the middle. But it doesn't matter, you just have to figure out where the warehouses I've marked are located. For example, this warehouse is my key mark, you can compare the warehouse area over there here, you must remember which warehouse this warehouse is, and this warehouse must be photographed tomorrow. As for these dozen or so warehouses, depending on the situation tomorrow, they can shoot if they can, and it doesn't matter if they can't. ”
Lin Dan raised his head in a bit of a daze, looked at the warehouse area below, looked down at the picture in his hand, and then stretched out his finger and nodded a few times, muttering a few words in his mouth, and then asked Yang Jing: "Brother Yang, is the warehouse you said that must be taken down, is it the warehouse located on the northernmost edge of the warehouse area, the sixth from the east?"
Yang Jing nodded, revealing an expression of "teachable".
With the experience of the first one, Lin Dan found all the warehouses that needed attention one by one according to the key points marked in this map.
However, Lin Dan is not as unreliable as Yang Jing, and when they determine a warehouse, they casually write down the exact location of the warehouse in their notebooks.
After all this work, the four of them got off the building the same way and drove back to the hotel they had booked in Houston.
However, in order to participate in the warehouse auction on the second day, there is still a lot of preparation, such as large trucks and porters used to pull goods.
There is a rule in the warehouse auction in the United States that after the treasure hunter auctions the warehouse, the auctioned warehouse must be cleared within 24 hours, and there can be nothing left in the warehouse that does not belong to the storage company.
And the area of a warehouse is not small, and there must be things piled up in it, so if you want to empty the auctioned warehouse, freight trucks and porters are indispensable.
Lin Dan has been a treasure hunter for two years, and he knows these things inside, so when he returns to the hotel, he goes out to look for helpers and vehicles.
Early the next morning, Yang Jing and the four of them came to the deep-water port storage company, and the porters and vehicles that Lin Dan found yesterday were also ready, and after the warehouse auction was completed, they would come in to clean up the items in the warehouse.
Lin Dan found a total of six people and a car, and promised them that he would clean up a warehouse and give them $10,000.
The price is definitely quite high, and these people readily agreed. And promised that if there are too many warehouses, they will also find people and cars to come, and ensure that all the warehouses photographed can be cleared within 24 hours.
The auction of the deep-water port storage company has attracted a lot of treasure pickers to participate in the auction of these warehouses, and it is not yet the point to go to work, but the team of at least 200 people has gathered in front of the deep-water port storage company, and these people are treasure pickers.
It seems that the competition in these auctions today will definitely become quite fierce......
