" China News Network reported that the snake head, one of the twelve zodiac bronze statues in Yuanmingyuan, which has been missing for more than 150 years, has finally returned to the embrace of the motherland. It is understood that the return of the snake head was donated anonymously by an overseas Chinese in the United States..."
Looking at the news on the Internet, Chu Feng smiled and recalled what happened a few weeks ago.
……
" Brother Feng, accompany me to Cabo Negro," Feng Zewei, who came to study in America with him, said excitedly.
Both of them were at Harvard, but they were not in the same major. The other was studying business, while he was studying history.
"Cabo Negro?" Chu Feng frowned and asked. What kind of place was that?”
"It's a small town in the state of New Abraham."
"Why are we going there?"
" I heard that there's going to be a storage auction going on there soon. They're going to auction off more than 50 storage units at once. I want to try my luck. If I get something good, I'll be rich."
Chu Feng rolled his eyes." Then I advise you to go and buy a million-dollar lottery. You don't have to run. You can buy it at home."”
Of course, he knew about storage auctions.
In America, there was a special group of professionals. They were treasure hunters.
His daily job was to auction all kinds of storage units and find the difference in price.
The storage units that were auctioned off were often those that had been left unsold for a long time, or those that were confirmed to be unaffordable.
In America, there were tens of thousands of warehouses like this being auctioned off every day.
And the reason why Chu Feng poured cold water on his good friend.
It was because it was extremely difficult for ordinary people to make a fortune by searching for treasures in the warehouse.
Since the United States had a very detailed garbage classification method, it would cost a lot of money to deal with their own domestic garbage normally.
Therefore, in order to save money on garbage disposal, many families in the United States would buy such warehouses and put their own garbage in them. They would not renew their warehouses when they expired.
After that, it became an unclaimed storage unit and was auctioned off. One could imagine the value of it.
When you were auctioning a unit, you only had one minute to stand outside the unit to observe, analyze, and judge the value of the unit.
After bidding for the storage unit, not only did you have to pay the bidding fee, but you also had to pay a deposit for cleaning up the garbage. This fee would only be returned after you cleaned up the storage unit.
If you bid for the storage unit, you must clear out everything inside within 24 hours, including garbage. You can't just take the valuable things and leave the garbage behind. Otherwise, not only will the deposit be gone, but your name will also be blacklisted.
"Just treat it as a trip. Aren't you curious? "It's not far anyway, and it doesn't cost much," Feng Zewei tried his best to persuade her.
However, they did not lack money. The parents of the two families were business partners. They were not particularly rich, but their assets were more than 100 million.
Thinking that he would be returning to China in two days, Chu Feng did not decline further."Then let's go!"
The two of them then drove from Cambridge and took turns driving for half a day before arriving at the small town of Cabonegro on the edge of Mettuen.
The town, which used to only have about 100 people, was bustling with activity because of the storage auction.
Dozens of teams and hundreds of people from all over the United States had arrived.
For things like storage auctions, they had always been a team. After all, one person's knowledge was limited, and it was not enough to deal with the complicated situation in the storage.
Soon, the auction began.
Chu Feng and Feng Zewei, two inexperienced people, could only follow behind others and watch.
They had been looking at more than 20 storage units for the entire morning, but they had not made a single move.
" Brother Feng, we can't come here for nothing. We have to buy one in the afternoon," Feng Zewei said while eating a hamburger.
" The key is that we don't understand it either." When the others were watching, they were all discussing in a low voice, but Chu Feng and the other two were really just watching.
" Then just buy whatever you want. It's just a loss of a few hundred dollars," Feng Zewei said.
Chu Feng thought about it and agreed. He couldn't come all the way here just to take a look.
"Alright, then I'll just buy one and play with it."
" No, you buy one, and I buy one. Let's see who earns more," Feng Zewei said.
"There are only two of us. If we buy two units, what if we can't clean them all up?”Chu Feng said worriedly.
"Didn't you see that there's a special garbage collector here? When the time comes, give them money, and they will help settle it. Feng Zewei had already thought of a way.
"Alright, then whoever loses will pay the warehouse cleaning fee.”They were both young people. Although Chu Feng studied history and his personality was relatively calm, he did not resist the bet.
"Deal." Feng Zewei said happily.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the auction continued.
The competition for the first three units was very intense. The highest price was sold at 2000 dollars because there was a piano that looked very historical.
Although Chu Feng and the other two were prepared to buy a random one, they were not prepared to lose too much.
After opening the fourth unit, the entire unit was in a mess. Many of the furniture were used for daily use. At a glance, it looked like a unit used to dispose of household garbage.
Most of the people lost their interest. No one called out the starting price of 200 dollars.
After all, it would take time to clean up.
The subsequent transportation and sales would cost a lot of money and energy. No one was willing to waste their precious time on such a warehouse.
Everyone started to play with their phones or chat with the people around them about the units that had just been bought.
The warehouse manager had no choice but to lower the price."50 dollars, only 50 dollars, anyone wants it?”
"I want it." After a long time, someone finally spoke.
The one who spoke was Chu Feng.
