Chapter 7 [Aperture Highlights]
Yang Nianzhong was very moved when he saw his stupid brother say this, shook his head helplessly, and looked at the thin black young man who was standing behind the big black man with a wry smile.
"You're John's cousin, we won't borrow this hundred dollars, thank you for bringing my brother to the docks to do something for you, you don't need you here."
The black and thin young man looked at Yang Nianzhong and snorted dissatisfiedly, and left with a broken thought in his mouth, Yang Nianzhong hurriedly grabbed the big black John who was about to get angry, patted him on the shoulder and said.
"What are you doing? That's your cousin, and you still want to do something to your cousin. ”
The big black John turned his head and looked at the boss with red eyes, and Yang Nianzhong said angrily. "What's wrong with my cousin? If you insult you, my own brother, I will beat him all over the ground and find his teeth, didn't you hear what he just said? I call you a little brat. ”
Yang Nianzhong shook his head helplessly, took out Marlboro cigarettes from his pocket, and wanted to have one with his brothers, but was stopped by John, this is the dock storage area, if there is a fire, the brothers will be handed over here.
"In front of your cousin, I'm really a little brat, let's get down to business, container 38 is really from Cuba, where is it, you take me to see it."
Hearing the boss say this, the big black John was excited, walked in front and led the way, and while walking, Yang Nianzhong, who was looking around, introduced and said. "Boss, although these containers are not imported through customs, they are personal, so there are no customs procedures, but he definitely came from Cuba."
"Knowing that you love Cuban cigars, they are too expensive to afford, so I put my hopes on this container."
"But my timid cousin won't lend me money, rest assured boss, there must be cigars in this cabinet, and I dare to swear by God that there must be authentic Cuban cigars, and your favorite Cuban cigars."
And following his brother, Yang Nianzhong agreed without a match, his eyes were looking around, and in the eyes of outsiders, Yang Nianzhong was just observing the dilapidated containers around him. But Yang Jianzhong himself was churning in his heart for a level 5 hurricane, and when he was in the hospital, Yang Nianzhong figured out what was wrong with his eyes through a lot of experiments.
In addition to being able to see some gray-white pictures and losing 1/3 of the eyesight, the biggest problem with my eyes is that I can see all kinds of metal colors. Metals with a large iron content are red, and metals with a large copper content are green, but when he passed by Container 98 just now, Yang Nianzhong actually saw a golden metal bar as thick as a finger appeared in the container.
Yang Nianzhong still hasn't figured out what kind of substance this metal that emits a golden glow? Why is it different from other metals? At this time, the No. 38 container had been opened and was about to be auctioned, due to the long time and the storage time in such a harsh environment as the dock, the contents of the container, especially some knitted fabrics, had begun to turn gray and white.
Some of the suitcases had begun to rot, and there was a foul smell of decay, and the contents of the containers were not allowed to be touched. But it allows you to take a closer look, and as for whether you can tell what exactly is hidden under the rotten knitted fabric? It's up to your own eyesight.
On the side of the container box is a wooden baffle with a yellowed label on it, which looks like a container from Cuba in the 90s. And it's a personal belonging, and it's been 26 years now, can he not corrupt the knitted fabric inside.
When he came to the front of Container 38, John was very excited, beckoned his hand and squatted on the ground first, pointing to a corner under the container with his finger. A red wooden box appeared with paint on the corner, and then he looked at Yang Nianzhong and Santos in surprise and said.
"Boss Santos, don't you see this, a corner of the painted wood box doesn't look like the cigar box that the boss treasured. I bet it's 100 percent the cigar box that holds Cuban cigars. ”
At this time, Yang Nianzhong looked at the stupid brother who was extremely excited, and didn't know whether to cry or laugh. Brother, this is a personal belongings cabinet shipped back from Cuba in the 90s, it contains this box of top-of-the-line Cohiba cigars, what can you do, it has been more than 20 years, the cigars have long been spoiled, can you smoke them.
But he, a dark-skinned stupid brother, gave up half a month's food expenses for his 20th birthday. What else can you say as a boss? What else can you say other than to be moved? He could only crack his mouth and smile, nodding his head to show satisfaction.
Yang Nianzhong, who just wanted to stand up, inadvertently turned around, and saw an orange circle-shaped light appear at the bottom of the container from the corner of his eye. It was different from the golden metal he had just seen, the color was different, and the shape was even more different, which made Yang Nian's center move.
In order to figure out what the golden and orange metallic substances I saw in my mutated left eye, what was it? What the hell is the material, you have to take down this container No. 38 from Cuba. What's more, the value of this container is not high, the starting price is only 80 US dollars, and if it is auctioned, it will be 2 or 300 US dollars.
Although Yang Nianzhong often causes trouble and always hurts people and loses money, the old BJ noodle restaurant is quite famous near Chinatown in Nassau County. Business is good every day, although it is not a rich and noble family, but three or five hundred dollars is not a huge amount for Yang Nianzhong, and he can get it anytime and anywhere.
First, I want to figure out what kind of metal this orange circle is. The second is to fulfill the wish of his silly brother John. Yang Nianzhong gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, he paid more than 200 US dollars by himself, and he couldn't let the stupid brother put all his half a month's food expenses into it.
So Yang Nianzhong patted John's shoulder and said with a smile. "I chose to trust the judgment of my closest brother and accepted such a birthday gift even more. Today, our brothers will take down this No. 38 container and see what is inside. ”
The stupid big John was so happy that he almost didn't jump up from the ground, and craned his neck to look outside, which had now been auctioned off to Container 35. Containers 36 and 37 have not reached their expiration dates, so it will not take two minutes after the auction of Container 35. The auctioneer would bring people to Container 38, and all the brothers had to do was wait, waiting for the auctioneer to come with the crowd.
Santos and Yang Nianzhong didn't feel anything, but John was anxious to turn around in front of the two brothers like a drug addict. A few minutes later, the older auctioneer really came over with the crowd, and first introduced all kinds of information about the containers to the many Taobao people who participated in the dock container auction.
The group of participants included professional treasurers like John's cousin, gamblers like John, and some people who were struggling to buy second-hand items. There are more thrill-seekers, so there are all kinds of bidders, but everyone frowns when they see the contents of container 38.
No matter how stupid you are, you know what else you can find besides rags. So the auction starts at $80 and ends at $80. The winner of the auction was Yang Nianzhong, who forcibly held John down.
