Chapter 381 Grocery Auction
After the welcome ceremony, Ron and Lorraine returned to the Santa Monica Police Station, leaving the little mouse Jimmy and the little hamster Tingmeng at home.

These two little guys are newly married, and Ron doesn't want to disturb them for the time being, and he needs to sort out his thoughts.

He has two ideas for the time being. The first idea is to use the little mouse Jimmy to communicate with the little hamster Tingmeng, make full use of the little hamster Tingmeng's talent for treasure hunting, and earn more wealth for himself.

No way, in the text message communication with Zhang Xiaojie a few days ago, Zhang Xiaojie and Ron, who are in charge of the BT coin mine, reported the recent situation of the Bitcoin mine, complaining that the mining progress of BT coins has become slow recently, and they want to continue Add mining machines.

Moreover, under Ron's instruction, he found a postgraduate student majoring in computer science, and he has already made some progress in the work of optimizing the computer APU provided by Ron and designing new hardware for the BT coin mining machine.

It's a pity that just this clue has broken the simple cycle that Ron established after investing in Robert's restaurant not long ago, and the funds in Ron's account began to decrease at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Ron urgently needs a way to make money legally without being discovered.

Second, after seeing the smart zoo led by the fourth senior sister Hei Mi, Ron also had a small ambition in his heart. He also wanted to create a gathering place for smart animals under his own rule.

It is also a very good thing that a large group of intelligent animals gather together, do not need to hide, and communicate happily every day.

Moreover, if there is a large group of intelligent animals to help, perhaps many secret things can be entrusted to these intelligent animals, and there is no need to hire humans, right?

"Lorraine, there is an alarm!"

In the month of Ron's absence, Lorraine has become a full-timer - he has become familiar with his work and has become Director Cervantes's other indispensable assistant besides Jordan.

Early the next morning, after hugging Ron and finally pawing a few pets that were not at home, the siren of the police station sounded, followed by Jordan's call.

"I'm coming!"

The police car had already parked downstairs. Lorraine poked his head out of the window to look around, and immediately carried Ron down the stairs and got into the police car, which was driven by Jordan and set off to the police station.

"Jordan, what is the case, is there anything to pay attention to?"

"Nothing to be concerned about, just a bunch of storage auctioneers from Arizona and local storage auctioneers."

"There is not enough police force in the bureau, let the two of us go to the port."

Recently sorting out the thoughts in his mind recently, Ron was a little dizzy during the day, listening to the communication between Lorraine and Jordan with erect ears, Ron opened the window and looked outside.

Soon, in just ten minutes or so, the police car of the Santa Monica Police Department drove through a large barbed wire fence and stopped outside a group of brawny men wrestling into a ball.

"boom!"

Before the car came to a complete stop, Jordan held the steering wheel with one hand, pulled out a pistol with the other hand and fired a shot into the sky—the deafening sound of the gunshot immediately divided the strong man into two groups.

"Hey guys!"

"This is a storage company, and you are here to make money."

"Don't make me handcuff you."

The two gangs of strong men can be clearly distinguished from their clothes—the one with hats, jeans and jackets is the auctioneer from Arizona, which is close to Mexico, and they are also contaminated with the roughness of the Mexicans.

As for the other group of vest-wearing, more stylish and tidy ones, they were local auctioneers in Los Angeles.

The reason for their tussle is also very simple - the local warehouse auction practitioners in Los Angeles did not want the warehouse auctioned this time to be taken away by the auctioneer in Arizona, but the auctioneer in Arizona was not persuaded either, so this incident broke out A body-to-body friction.

"Hey guys, the storage auction is on now."

"A total of eight warehouses are up for auction this time."

"Everyone has 1 minute to stand outside the warehouse gate to observe, and then I will call out the starting price. Those who need it can bid, and the one with the highest price will win."

"I hope you will hurry up. Once I call three times, it means a deal."

There were police cars and police on the sidelines to maintain order, and the auction manager in a suit immediately stepped onto the stage and started this warehouse auction.

While sitting in the police car, Lorraine poked his head out curiously—this was the first time he saw a storage auction.

"The No.70 No. [-] Warehouse is now being auctioned."

"Everyone has 1 minute to look inside and be mentally prepared."

"Okay, now 1 minute is up."

"No.70 Warehouse No. [-] has an asking price of [-] U.S. dollars. Have you added it? It's full of good things..."

"520 five dollars!"

"Great, someone added $25. It's a little small, but it's a good start. I guarantee this guy will make a lot of money."

"Is there anyone else, 520 five dollars!"

"$550!"

"Okay, someone offered $550..."

The professional managers spoke at the speed of a talk show, and the atmosphere gradually became warmer——Los Angeles is a big city, and there were already a lot of warehouse auctioneers. At this moment, it also attracted a group of colleagues from other states to compete for eight warehouses together. , the pressure immediately increased.

After all, no one wants to leave empty-handed.

And someone has inside information, it is said that this time there is a valuable guy in the warehouse.

"Okay, $850, once, twice, three times!"

"make a deal!"

He read it three times quickly, as if he was afraid that the auctioneer would regret it. The auctioneer smiled and handed a key to the highest bidder, a red-faced man from Los Angeles, and then continued with the auction of the next warehouse.

"Is this the storage auction?"

Looking at the lively auction scene in front of him, Ron was a little confused, while Lorraine turned to ask Jordan - he didn't know what such an auction meant.

Understanding Lorraine's question, Jordan shrugged his shoulders and answered.

"Of course, this is a storage auction."

"This is Santa Monica, and countless people come to play on the beach in Santa Monica every year."

"They will buy a lot of things at the market in Santa Monica, and they will not take them away after the tour, but leave them in the leased warehouse."

"According to federal law, as long as they don't continue to pay for the lease, the storage company has the right to auction off the contents of these warehouses. First, it can cover the company's expenses, and second, it can clean up the warehouse."

"These warehouse auctioneers are in this business. They clean up warehouses, sell useful second-hand goods to flea markets, and clean up warehouses by the way."

"That's why they are also called treasure hunters."

Jordan explained, but he didn't know that a fat cat had already listened to it.
