Beaumont is close to the Gulf of Mexico, so even in December, it is quite warm here. Under the sunshine of winter, Yang Jing feels very comfortable wearing single trousers and single coat. Chris Barton and John Bruno wore a T-shirt directly.

The four people were laughing and waiting for the man Lin Dan was looking for. Chris Barton and John Bruno told Yang Jing about their missions in the Middle East, Afghanistan and Africa, but they didn't think time passed slowly.

After waiting for about twenty minutes, a pickup truck drove in along the farm road. After the driver got out of the car, he said to Yang Jing and the four of them, "who is James Lin? I'm David Parker."

Lindane quickly greeted them and introduced them to David Parker after some greetings.

David Parker is an engineer of a local oil company in Beaumont. He usually works at sea. He happens to be at home on rotation these days. As a result, he heard a friend say he wanted to consult about some business here, so he came to make some extra money.

"Mr. Parker, if you want to reopen the well, how long and how much will it take?" Yang Jing went straight to the topic.

David Parker shook his head slightly and said, "Mr. Yang, if I were you, I wouldn't spend my hard-earned money on this oil well. This oil well is older than my grandfather. Almost all the local people in Beaumont know these oil wells nearby, including this one. To be honest, there is no need to reopen this well."

Yang Jing smiled and said, "it doesn't matter, Mr. Parker. I just want to open the well and see what's going on inside. You know, since I have bought the well, I need to get a definite answer."

David Parker shrugged his shoulders and said: "Well, you are the boss. You has the final say. But I want to tell you that this well has been closed for a long time, and when the oil well was closed for second times, it was done permanently. So the cost of the well was much more than needed. Because the oil well was sealed for a long distance, it needed to be reopened with a drill. To. "

After a pause, David Parker continued, "and if you think it is impossible to open the well, the well needs to be sealed again in order to protect the environment. Moreover, due to the damage caused to the casing by opening the well, you may need to replace a section of casing or even all casing when closing the well, otherwise you can't guarantee that the well can be completely sealed."

"How much money and how long will it take to do what you say?"

David Parker thought for a moment and said: "It won't take long to open the well. You can reopen the well in about two or three days. As for re sealing the well, it depends on the condition of the casing in the well. However, the well was not deep at the beginning, it was only more than 600 meters deep. Even if all the casing needs to be replaced, the cost of materials and labor will not exceed 300000 US dollars Yuan. If the casing inside is in good condition, this figure will drop by about half. "

Yang JINGLUE thought about it and said, "Mr. Parker, do you have any workers to do this small project?"

"Of course, that's what I do. I have a lot of skilled workers under my hand, enough to cope with this small project."

"Well, we can sign the contract today. After signing the contract, I will make you a part of the advance payment."

After a pause, Yang Jing continued, "money is not a problem, but I have a requirement that I must see the situation after the well is opened within three days. How about, Mr. Parker, can you complete the task according to my requirements?"

Parker smiled and said, "that's no problem. I can promise."

You may say Texans are rude or grumpy, but Texans do have one advantage, that is, they have a special spirit of contract.

After Lin Dan signed the construction agreement with David Parker on behalf of Yang Jing, David Parker immediately began to call, and then gathered the people in less than an hour. At the same time, all kinds of tools and materials for construction were almost ready.

After lunch at noon, the oil well was powered on, and David Parker immediately led the workers into the construction site. As for the farmer, Yang Jing asked Lin Dan to write a cash check for $10000 to the farmer, and immediately sealed the farmer's mouth.

After all, he works on other people's land, and having a good relationship with his boss is only good, not bad. For Yang Jing, anything that can be solved with money is not a matter.

As for David Parker, because Yang Jing gives money happily, this typical Texan is also very happy. It is also a hot wind and fire when he works.

There are those old oil workers working in the old oil well. Naturally, there is nothing about Yang Jing and Lin Dan, so the two young people plan to go to Houston for two days.

As a result, as soon as he arrived in Houston and was ready to rest after dinner, Lin Dan knocked on Yang Jing's room again.

Yang Jing is going to take a bath and go to bed.

"Shit, what are you doing here? What can't you say tomorrow?" Yang Jing yawned and asked Lin Dan.

Lin Dan smiled and didn't think Wu, "brother Yang, do you want to make some extra money tomorrow?"

While pouring tea for Lin Dan, Yang Jing asked suspiciously, "how to earn extra money?"

"Brother Yang, have you ever seen an American drama in China?"

"American drama?" Yang Jing shook her head. "I'm not very interested in American drama. I've seen prison break for two seasons before. Well, I've also seen several episodes of secret service agent of the Divine Shield, but it's not very interesting, so I didn't watch it."

"Oh, brother Yang, if you like watching American dramas, you will know that there are many business opportunities in American dramas, such as the king of storage and treasure digging broadcast by American Discovery channel , this program is a very interesting live action drama. I started to be a treasure picker in my spare time because of watching this film. Hey hey, to tell you the truth, I made a lot of extra money in my spare time. If Uncle Zhao hadn't always attached great importance to me and wanted to train me as a successor, I really wanted to be a professional treasure picker What about it? "

Yang Jing brought the tea to Lin Dan, smiled and said, "tell me what kind of treasure picker is."

Seeing that Yang Jing was interested, Lin Dan said, "brother Yang, this is your first time to the United States. You must not understand the storage culture of the United States?"

Yang Jing shrugged his shoulders and said, "I certainly don't understand."

"Brother Yang, in fact, warehousing culture is a major feature of the United States. The warehousing industry in the United States is very developed, because Americans like to travel and wander around, so Americans like to rent a small warehouse as a temporary place to store things when they go out. But when these people finish traveling, they either feel that the value of the things stored in the warehouse is not high, or they simply forget it He also rented a warehouse to store things, so he left. When the warehouse lease period expires, because no one cares about these warehouses, they will be taken back by the storage company and auctioned at a selected time. "

Yang Jing nodded, which he had heard of.

"Similarly, the United States has a very strict waste disposal act Therefore, it is also a headache for ordinary people to dispose of garbage. At this time, many Americans often rent a warehouse in the storage company in order not to pay a high garbage disposal fee, and then put their own garbage and unused things in it. When the lease term comes, if they do not continue to pay for the storage company, the warehouse will be used by the storage company Confiscate and auction. "

"It is precisely because there are a large number of unpaid warehouses in the United States that about 10000 unmanned warehouses in the United States are auctioned every day. This is the reason for the prosperity of American warehousing culture."

Yang Jing shook her head in disbelief and said: "Brother, as you said just now, many Americans rent warehouses just to deal with unwanted garbage. What's the auction value of such warehouses? Besides, even for those forgotten warehouses, the warehousing companies don't take a look after taking them back? Pick out those valuable things and you can auction them at that time. What else can you get Something of value? "

Lin Dan said with a smile, "brother Yang, don't forget that there is also a private law in the United States." , this Law stipulates that even if the warehousing company takes back those private warehouses, it can not enter the warehouse at will, and the American warehousing culture does not allow the warehousing company to do so. Because once the warehousing companies do so, we treasure collectors can't shoot any good warehouses. After a long time, no one will participate in the warehousing auction. Warehousing company How does the company deal with those private warehouses? Besides, just the garbage stored in the warehouse is enough for the warehousing company to have a headache. "

"Therefore, except for a few storage companies without professional ethics, the staff will play a marginal ball, enter those private warehouses in the name of maintaining the warehouse, and then sell the information inside to treasure collectors to earn extra money. Most storage companies prohibit the staff from entering the private warehouses to be auctioned without authorization."

Lin Dan shrugged his shoulders and said as if he remembered something: "Of course, those storage companies controlled by gangs can't say. Those storage companies controlled by gangs are often the channels used by gangs to launder money, and gangs can launder money in the form of warehouse auction. However, such storage companies are very rare, especially large-scale storage companies, and such staff will not enter in advance without authorization Warehouse, or controlled by gangs. Therefore, most of the warehouse auctions in the United States are still very formal. "

When Lin Dan said this, Yang Jing understood. "Xiao Lin, do you mean that this formal warehouse auction is actually a process of picking up leaks? Who has better eyes and better luck can get a better warehouse?"

"Well, brother Yang, you are right to think so. Many treasure collectors rely on this to make a living and even make a fortune."

After a pause, lindane continued: "In fact, not only in the United States, but also in many European countries, the storage culture is very developed. The year before last, I saw a news that a retired Portuguese bought a warehouse in Portugal with his pension. The warehouse has been empty for 15 years. Even the former owner and wife of the warehouse are no longer alive, and there is no heir. The door and window of the warehouse are empty It was welded to death. Even if the local people wanted to open the warehouse, they needed to spend some money. As a result, no one moved the warehouse for 15 years. Helpless, the local government auctioned the warehouse. "

"As a result, the Portuguese bought the warehouse. Originally, the Portuguese bought the warehouse to repair it for his use. As a result, when he opened the warehouse, he was surprised by the contents."

"There must be a treasure in it?" Yang Jing's interest was also suspended.

"It's more than a baby! This guy is a dog. Shit! Because there are dozens of old cars parked in that dusty warehouse for 15 years! Including Aston Martin, Mercedes Benz, lotus, BMW V8, Chrysler and other famous car brands, including an F1 racing car. Of course, they are all old cars from the 1960s and 1970s I've got a car. "

"Shit! Let you say that, this guy is really lucky to leave the dog!" Yang Jing also sighed a little.

"Of course, after these old cars are cleaned out, after expert evaluation, guess how much these old cars are worth? 35 million US dollars! Any one of these old cars is worth more than one million US dollars! The old cars in this warehouse are worth 35 million US dollars!"

When Yang Jing heard this number, she couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva. If this is in China, it is definitely the rhythm of picking up big leaks! I can only pick up such a big leak back in 1994. Otherwise, I'm afraid it's really difficult to find such a big leak now, even if there is a holy ring around me.

Looking at Lin Dan's excited face, Yang Jing said, "did you just say making some extra money mean warehouse auction?"

"Well, it's the warehouse auction. Brother Yang, although I only participate in the warehouse auction in my spare time, and most of them participate in the warehouse auction in San Francisco and nearby, I'm also a treasure collector registered in the American warehouse treasure picking Association, so I have a way to know some information about the warehouse auction. This time in Houston, to be exact, the day after tomorrow, there will be a large warehouse auction in Houston port The warehouse auction was held, so I came to ask you, "shall we participate?"
