With Yang Jing's temper, how could he not participate in such an interesting thing?
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 US space center, and the largest crude oil export port in the United States, the annual cargo throughput of the Port of Houston is as high as 200 million tons, and it is known as the second largest international commercial port in the United States.
Galveston Bay can provide an excellent natural shelter for the Port of Houston, preventing hurricanes that often roam the Gulf of Mexico from causing too much damage to the Port of Houston, which is located deep in the Galveston Bay.
The earliest Port of Houston was built on both sides of the Buffalo River. The lower reaches of this river, which runs through the city of Houston, have a wide and deep enough channel, so the earliest Port of Houston was built around this river. Until now, both sides of the nearly 30-kilometer-long river from the lower reaches of the Buffalo River to the estuary are filled with densely packed ports and large oil storage tanks.
However, with the development of society, the original Port of Houston could no longer accommodate the increasingly large oil tankers and cargo ships. Therefore, around the northwest coast of Galveston Bay, from Baytown to La Porte, then to Debrook, and finally through Texas City to the southernmost Galveston, a new port group stretching for dozens of kilometers appeared. Thousands or even tens of thousands of cargo ships and oil tankers enter and leave the port every day.
When Yang Jing and his four companions arrived here, they were also shocked by the spectacular and busy scene. Such a huge port is really hard to see elsewhere. For example, those supertankers with a load of more than 200,000 tons docked at the port, with a hull of more than 300 meters long and dozens of meters high, make these supertankers look like giants lying sideways.
The place where Yang Jing and his team came to was located in the small town of Laporte. Laporte and Beidun guarded the estuary of the Buffalo River in the south and north respectively. The estuary of the Buffalo River was located to the north of the town, where there was a huge container terminal.
The place where Yang Jing and his team came was located on the south side of the container terminal.
A large storage and transportation company called "Deep Water Port" has built more than 400 warehouses of various sizes here to provide warehousing services for La Porte and surrounding people.
After the four of them got out of the car, Lin Dan pointed to the east of the huge warehouse complex and said, "Brother Yang, the warehouses that will be auctioned tomorrow are the more than 150 warehouses located in the east of the warehouse area. These port warehouses usually hide good things. As for whether we can find a bargain, it depends on our luck and vision."
Yang Jing asked: "How can this be auctioned? Are you not allowed to see it?"
"Let's see. When the auction starts tomorrow, the storage company will open the doors of these warehouses and let the treasure hunters who come to the auction take turns to see them. But the viewing time is only one minute. Whether you can choose a valuable warehouse within this minute depends on your experience and vision."
"Oh my god, only one minute? One minute is not even enough to walk around the warehouse." Yang Jing rolled his eyes helplessly.
Lin Dan smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Yang, you are wrong. This one-minute viewing time is only for treasure hunters to stand at the door of the warehouse and watch. Treasure hunters 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? Not allowed to go in, how the hell do you choose? What if the things in the warehouse are covered with something? It seems to me that warehouse auctions are just fooling people, right?" Yang Jing couldn't help but complain. He also knew that this was probably a rule of warehouse auctions in the United States, a rule that was valid for all treasure hunters.
Sure enough, Lin Dan continued to explain: "Brother Yang, this rule of only allowing viewing but not entering is for all treasure hunters. All treasure hunters who participate in the auction must abide by this rule and are not allowed to enter the warehouse. Otherwise, the security personnel of the storage company will expel the treasure hunters who violate the rules."
"Besides, after the warehouse is opened, there are security personnel watching. You can't get in even if you want to."
Yang Jing shook his head helplessly, "Then how can the treasure hunters tell whether there are good things in the warehouse?"
"That depends on your vision and luck. Of course, some treasure hunters have a deeper understanding of the sidewalks, and they can know that there are valuable items in the warehouse before the auction. You should understand this kind of thing. In every industry, there are always some special people who are different from others..."
"Didn't those people violate the rules?"
"Violation of the rules? Who can say they violated the rules? They just made reasonable use of some off-market rules and got some information in advance. As long as they don't violate the rules on the day of the auction, they have the right to participate in the auction. In fact, I have done this before. When the warehouse auction was held in San Francisco, I also got some information in advance... But here, this is Houston, I don't have those connections to get some inside information in advance, so we are here today just to try our luck."
Seeing that Lin Dan admitted that he was very single, Yang Jing pointed at him and smiled.
But even if we are not allowed to watch, is there nothing we can do? Are we here today just to try our luck?
Are you kidding me? Do you really think the "Heavenly Eye" function of the Holy Ring is just for show?
So Yang Jing said to Lin Dan and the two bodyguards with a smile: "You three stay on the sidelines to keep watch for me. I'm going to use my family's unique skill, the 'Great Qi Watching Technique', to see which of these warehouses have the good stuff."
