Chapter 382 The new way of making money
"Hey hey, warehouse auction~"

The United States is different from other countries in the world. This country has a peculiar warehouse culture.

Because there are no restrictions such as household registration, a large part of young Americans do not like to buy houses, but prefer to rent houses.

But when the lease on the house expires, moving becomes a big hassle.

So the warehousing industry flourished.

Investors will find a piece of land to build a batch of warehouses, and only need a small sum of money to rent a warehouse to store items that cannot be taken away temporarily.

However, if the lessee fails to renew the payment in time after the lease expires, then legally, the contents of the warehouse will be regarded as unowned, and the warehouse owner can handle it by himself.

Under normal circumstances, the way to deal with it is to conduct a warehouse auction, and the warehouse auctioneer, that is, the professional treasure picker, will bid to obtain it.

The treasure pickers who have won the auction have one to a few days to sort out the warehouses they bid for, and pick out the valuable items. As for the leftover garbage, they also need to be cleaned and packed, and sent to the garbage disposal point.

Speaking of this, I have to say that, except for warehouse auctions, the second-hand goods market in the United States is not comparable to that of other countries-people in this country do not use new products. As long as they can be used normally, second-hand goods can always be sold. Find yourself a new owner in the second-hand goods trading market.

Taking cars as an example, not everyone is willing to spend tens of thousands of dollars, 10,000+ dollars to buy a new car, and a second-hand car that costs thousands of dollars is also good to drive.

In fact, the first car owned by almost every American in life is almost a used car.

…………

"We are now auctioning off Warehouse No. [-]."

"The starting price is one thousand dollars!"

The speed of the warehouse auction was faster than Ron had imagined. In less than half an hour, the last warehouse had been auctioned.

It’s just that the price that the auctioneer shouted shocked all the treasure hunters—whether they were from Arizona or Los Angeles—and they all complained.

"Damn it, why is it so expensive all of a sudden?"

"The warehouses in front all start at $[-]!"

Of course, there are also rational treasure hunters who look up at the auctioneer, waiting for a reasonable explanation.

"You are all professional treasure hunters and have your own news channels. Warehouse No. [-] once belonged to a jewelry tycoon, and there are likely to be lost jewelry in it."

The auctioneer's explanation was watertight, and it was an explanation for the treasure hunter.

So the auction continues.

"One thousand dollars!"

"Eleven one hundred dollars!"

"One thousand two hundred dollars!"

"One thousand three hundred dollars, one time, two times, three times, deal!"

The last warehouse was too much of a gamble, and there were not many treasure hunters participating in the auction. It took only a few minutes for the warehouse auction to end.

After the auction ended, waiting for the money from the treasure pickers to arrive in the account, the auctioneer delivered the keys of several warehouses to the treasure pickers who won the auction one by one.

According to the usual practice, in the next 24 hours, the right to use the warehouse and the ownership of the internal items belong to the treasure picker who wins the bid, and after 24 hours, the right to use the warehouse and the ownership of the internal items return to the storage company.

Therefore, just after the auction ended, after the treasure hunters who failed to bid on the warehouse left, the treasure hunters who succeeded in the auction immediately threw themselves into the work of treasure hunting in full swing—they all came prepared, and the trucks used to pull the goods were just Parked outside the warehouse.

In the next 24 hours, they need to distinguish valuable second-hand goods from garbage that is not worth recycling, and get the rewards they deserve.

…………

"Okay, it's alright."

"We should go."

Starting the car, Jordan drove Lorraine and Ron back to the Santa Monica Police Station.

For Jordan, this is just a trivial matter at work; for Lorraine, it has only increased some knowledge; but for Ron, it has opened a whole new door.

"Meow~"

Didn't expect it to work like this!

Ron's own athletic ability, the cute talent of the little hamster, and the intermediate coordination and translation of the little mouse Jimmy are an excellent combination.

The only thing missing now is finding a human partner.

After all, Ron is not a human being, he needs a person to participate in the auction, and organize people to excavate and clean up the warehouse that was photographed.

Hehehe... Who do you want to partner with?
Thinking about it, Ron began to choose a suitable partner in his mind-Lorraine is now a policeman, and it is obviously unrealistic for him to give up this job and become a treasure hunter.

Except for Lorraine, there were very few candidates who knew that Ron had superintelligence—in the end, Ron put Catherine and Molly as the best candidates.

As for why Catherine and Molly were chosen, Ron had given Catherine enough surprises on Black Pot Island in Hawaii, even if Ron suggested that she join the ranks of treasure hunters, she would not be too surprised.

Secondly, now is the holiday time after Catherine's exam, and the holiday can last until September, and there are two full months to spend in this industry.

And from Catherine's point of view, it is also great to have such an opportunity to exercise before entering high school.

Unlike Longguo, which only focuses on academic performance, American high schools not only pay attention to grades, but also pay great attention to club activities and practical courses-once you know that Catherine has such a good social practice before entering high school, the evaluation will naturally be higher point.

…………

When the Santa Monica Police Department is not very busy, Lorraine goes home about once a week.

So, it was days before Ron returned to his home in the Fox Hill neighborhood of Orange County.

Of course, in the next few days, Ron was not idle.

He searched carefully on the Internet for relevant content about treasure pickers in warehouses, and he had a more detailed understanding of this industry, and he also found that it was a bit naive to think that he only wanted to rely on the cute talent of the little hamster.

Although the value of the warehouse auction I witnessed for the first time was not very high, the final auction price of the highest warehouse was only [-] US dollars.

But in this industry, there is no lack of examples of getting rich overnight through warehouse auctions-this can be seen from the members of the [-] club and the million club members among the treasure hunters in each state.

Moreover, the basic skills required for warehousing auctions are also very complicated, because there may be daily necessities, jewelry, coins, firearms, books, oil paintings, etc. in the warehouse of the auction. If you are not careful, you may miss it and throw away valuable items as garbage or sell them at a low price. .

However, generally speaking, there are cute little hamsters, and Ron's start in the warehouse auction business is much higher than most people.
