Treasure Hunt Tycoon

Li Du looked at the information, this is indeed a major auction.

The auction will be held on a freighter named Zhang Baozheng, an oversized Panamanian freighter with a length of 300 meters, a width of 43 meters, and a height of 14.5 meters.

The classification of freighter classes is very strict, including ordinary container class, full container class, Panama class, Panama's largest class, super Panama class, super Panama class, new Panama class and 3e class.

This division is based on the number of containers, load and length, width, and draught that the vessel can accommodate. Although the oversized Panama class is not a top cargo ship, it is also exaggerated, which can be seen from its mass.

Li Du looked at the grass outside the window and thought about an area of ​​300 meters in length and more than 40 meters in width, which was quite exaggerated when placed on a boat.

Even more exaggerated is the number of containers at this auction, which is 2,500!

In fact, this is not much. The standard payload of an oversized Panamax freighter is 8,000 containers, and 2,500 containers are just a small part of it.

When Zhang Baozhen left the post, there were indeed 8,000 containers, but the boxes were not full, and there were still a lot of vacancies. This is why the Korean trade group went bankrupt.

Normally, when a cargo ship leaves the port, the proportion of empty containers should be less than 20%, and 20% of the empty containers will be refilled at the port halfway.

In short, shipping companies operating well will not have such a horrible proportion of empty containers.

The Korean Trade Group shipped a large number of empty containers to the port to reduce the compensation amount during bankruptcy and liquidation. At that time, their senior management knew what they were doing. These ships had no possibility of entering the port after leaving the port.

Li Du saw some reports on recent shipping information. The Zhang Baoyu had raised doubts when it left the port. The ship could almost be said to have come out of an empty nest, which was simply burning money.

The Korean trade group explained that their ship is also mainly used to transport vehicles, which contains about 1,400 domestic cars, including 1,100 Hyundai, 100 Ssangyong and 100 Double Stars, with a total value of more than 50 million US dollars.

In fact, of course, there is no such thing. After the insurance company arranged the staff to watch the boat, there were some cars, but they were all second-hand cars. There is no market for such cars in the United States, and they are completely tasteless.

They also inspected the container, and arranged for a professional company to evaluate the value of the contents of the container. After the calculation, they were screened and considered that the warehouse auction was the most appropriate way to deal with it.

The auction will be held in early February for a total of three days. More than 2,000 containers will be auctioned in the form of secret bidding. People who pick treasures can visit and bid freely after boarding. The insurance company will collect prices three days later.

Li Du watched the time. After the auction, he could return to his hometown to spend the Chinese New Year without delaying him. The time between the two was just right, which made him feel pretty good.

After some waiting, the time for the maritime auction finally came. They would set off from the port of Seattle, take a yacht all the way west into the Pacific Ocean, and Zhang Baoyu stopped there.

Before going to the auction in this way, they had to go to Seattle.

Seattle is one of several large cities in the extreme north of the United States. It belongs to Washington State, near Oregon and Canada in the back.

This city emerged thirty or forty years ago. Before that, it was just a second-tier city. Until it combined bold innovation and publicity, it became the largest city in the northwestern United States with the help of the east wind of the global network era.

Before the development of the Internet, Seattle ’s pillar industry was the maritime industry. This was the second largest container port in the United States and the closest port in the United States to the Far East. Many Far East shipping operations started here.

Just two days before the auction, Li Du flew to Seattle by helicopter.

The insurance companies are very selective. Together with the three days of the auction and one day before and after the day, they only provide five days of accommodation to the invited customers.

After reviewing the accommodation conditions, Li Du refused. The insurance company went home and offered them a three-star hotel.

He asked the **** to book a five-star hotel, so he didn't have to come to Seattle to treat him too hard.

Bill Shorten entered the warehousing and auction industry very early. In his impression, participating in foreign auctions was a bumpy process to make ends meet.

This time he followed Li Du to Seattle to participate in the auction, and everything began to refresh his knowledge.

First, they did not come here by truck, but by helicopter.

When he got on the helicopter, he asked limily, "Boss, shall we not drive the truck?"

Li Du said, "Why drive a truck? If we take down the container, how much can our truck load on the scale of the container? If we don't get anything, isn't the truck a trip? In short, it is better not to drive. "

Helicopters quickly took off, flying from Los Angeles to the ocean, and galloping along the coast to Seattle.

After flying to Seattle, the helicopter traveled to Pioneer Square before landing on the apron of a luxury hotel.

Bill was surprised again: "We won't live here, right?"

Li Du didn't know where he lived, he pointed to the eunuch, meaning he arranged ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ **** raised his chest and said, "Boss, I chose the Western Park Hotel, here is Pioneer Square. You will be satisfied with the oldest and most famous hotel in the city. "

Li Du nodded: "You don't need to be satisfied, you just need to survive."

The boss with Bill's mouth, the Western Park Hotel, he knows that the hotel room has a minimum of four or five hundred yuan a night. It is one of the best hotels in the Northwestern United States. I did not expect that they came here to participate in a warehouse auction and chose to stay Such an upscale hotel.

There was also Playboy with Li Du. He was also invited. He is a member of the quasi-million club. He has a wealth of money and is well-known in the treasure hunter circle in Arizona.

The change in Bill's expression was noticed by Playboy, and he fixed his clothes and laughed, "You scared you guys."

Hearing this, Bill worried that he lost his face, and waved, "No, no, Akaro, I wasn't scared, I was just a little surprised. God, we are here to participate in the auction!"

Li Du nodded: "Yes, we are doing tens of millions of auctions, so what's wrong with living here?"

Bill closed his lips a few times and said helplessly: "Others have problems, boss, you are fine."

Li Du participated in auctions in other places. No matter he had never grieved himself in food and lodging, since he first went out, Hans would arrange food and accommodation for him.

The **** found this hotel very well. In fact, this did not satisfy Li Du. He still liked the arrangement of Hans. Hans always found some not-so-famous places full of local customs and culture.

Hans is a person who really understands his needs. Li Du came to these places not to simply eat, live, or eat, but more importantly, he wanted to broaden his horizons. ...
