Beaumont is close to the Gulf of Mexico, so even in December, it is still quite warm. Under the winter sun, Yang Jing feels very comfortable wearing a single pants and jacket. Chris Patton and John Bruno even wear a T-shirt directly.

The four of them were joking and waiting for the arrival of the person Lin Dan was looking for. Chris Patton and John Bruno told Yang Jing about their deeds when they were performing missions in the Middle East, Afghanistan and Africa. They didn't feel that time was passing slowly.

After waiting for about twenty minutes, a pickup truck drove in along the farm road. After getting off the car, the driver said to Yang Jing and the other four, "Who is James Lin? I am David Parker."

Lin Dan quickly greeted him, and after some greetings, he introduced everyone to David Parker.

David Parker is an engineer at a local oil company in Beaumont. He usually works on offshore and happens to be at home these days. When he heard a friend say that there is some business here and wants to consult, he came over to make some extra money.

"Mr. Parker, look at how long and how much does this well take if it is to reopen it?" Yang Jing got straight to the topic.

David Parker shook his head slightly and said, "Mr. Yang, if I were you, I wouldn't have spent the money I earned from this well. This well is older than my grandfather. Almost all of us locals in Beaumont know about these wells nearby, including this well. To be honest, there is no need to reopen the well."

Yang Jing smiled and said, "It's okay, Mr. Parker, I just want to open this well to see what's going on inside. You also know that since I have bought this well, I need to get a definite answer."

David Parker shrugged and said, "Okay, you are the boss and you have the final say. But what I want to tell you is that this well has been sealed for a long time, and when the well was sealed for the second time, the well was sealed permanently, so if you want to reopen the well, the cost would be quite large. Because this well was sealed with cement for a long distance, it would be necessary to re-drill it with a drill bit."

After a pause, David Parker continued: "And if you open this well, if you think it is not possible, in order to protect the environment, the well needs to be resealed. Moreover, because of the damage caused by opening the well to the casing, you probably need to replace a section of the casing when you seal the well, and you may even need to replace all the casings, otherwise you cannot guarantee that the well can be completely sealed."

"And if you do what you said, how much and how long will it take?"

David Parker thought for a while and said, "It won't take long to open the well. It can be opened in about two or three days. As for re-sealing the well, it depends on the casing in the well. However, the well was not deep at the beginning, only more than 600 meters deep. Even if all casings are replaced as needed, the material cost and labor cost will not exceed $300,000. If the casing inside is in good condition, this number will drop by about half."

Yang Jing thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Parker, do you have any workers to do this small project?"

"Of course, I do this. I have many skilled workers under my command, enough to deal with this small project."

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

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

Parker smiled and said, "This is OK, I can guarantee it."

You say that Texans are rude or have a bad temper, but Texans do have one advantage, that is, they are particularly contractual.

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

After lunch at noon, electricity was sent to the oil well, and David Parker immediately led the workers to start construction. As for the farmer, Yang Jing asked Lin Dan to issue a cash check of 10,000 US dollars to the farmer, and immediately blocked the farmer's mouth.

After all, you work on someone else's land, and having a good relationship with your boss only has the benefits and no harm. For Yang Jing, things that can be solved with money are not a problem.

As for David Parker, because Yang Jing gave the money so happily, this typical Texan seemed particularly happy, and it was also a big deal when working.

There were those old oil workers working in the old oil well, so naturally there was nothing wrong with Yang Jing and Lin Dan. So the two young men planned to go to Houston for two days as soon as they planned to go to Houston.

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

Yang Jing is about to take a shower and go to bed.

"Damn, why are you doing this? Is there anything you can't tell me tomorrow?" Yang Jing yawned and asked Lin Dan.

Lin Dan smiled and didn't think it was offended, "Brother Yang, do you want to make some extra money tomorrow?"

While pouring tea for Lin Dan, Yang Jing asked in confusion: "Making extra money? How to make money?"

"Brother Yang, I wonder if you have ever watched an American drama in the country?"

"American drama?" Yang Jing shook his head, "I'm not very interested in American dramas. I've watched two seasons of "Prison Break" before. Well, I've watched a few episodes of "Agents of SHIELD", but it didn't make much sense, so I didn't keep watching it."

"Oh, Brother Yang, if you like to watch American dramas, you know that there are actually many business opportunities in American dramas. For example, "The Warehousing Treasure Digging King" broadcasted by the American Discovery Channel, this program is a very interesting real-life American drama. I started to be a treasure picker in my spare time because I watched this movie. Hehe, I'm going to tell you that I've made a lot of extra money in my spare time. If Uncle Zhao hadn't always valued me and wanted to train me as my successor, I would really want to go to the treasure picker industry professionally."

Yang Jing brought the tea to Lin Dan and said with a smile: "Then tell me what kind of industry is this treasure picker."

Seeing that Yang Jing was interested, Lin Dan said, "Brother Yang, this is your first time in the United States. I believe you don't know much about the warehousing culture in the United States, right?"

Yang Jing shrugged and said, "I definitely don't understand."

"Brother Yang, warehousing culture is actually a major feature of the United States. The warehousing industry in the United States is very developed. Because Americans like to travel and like to wander around, Americans like to rent a small warehouse as a place to store things temporarily when they go out. However, when these people finish traveling, they either think that the things stored in the warehouse are not valuable, or simply forget that they also rent a warehouse to store things, so they patted their feet and left. After the warehouse rental period is up, because no one cares about these warehouses, they will be taken back by the storage company and then auctioned at an optional date."

Yang Jing nodded, he had heard of this.

"Similarly, the United States has a very strict "Garbage Disposal Law", so it is a headache for ordinary people to deal with garbage. At this time, many Americans often rent a warehouse from a storage company in order not to pay a considerable garbage disposal fee, and then put their own garbage and unnecessary things in it. When the rental period comes, if the fees are not continued to be paid to the storage company, the warehouse will be confiscated by the storage company and then auctioned."

"It is precisely because the United States has a large number of unmanned warehouses that the United States has auctioned about 10,000 unmanned warehouses every day. This is the reason why the American warehouse culture is flourishing."

Yang Jing shook his head in disbelief and said, "Brother, you said just now that many Americans rent warehouses just to simply deal with unnecessary garbage. What is the value of an auction for such a warehouse? Besides, even those forgotten warehouses, those warehouse companies will not go in and take a look after it after they are taken back? Pick out those valuable things, and then you can go to auction, what other valuable things can you buy?"

Lin Dan smiled and said, "Brother Yang, don't forget that there is another "Privacy Law" in the United States. This law stipulates that even if the storage company takes back those private warehouses, it cannot enter the warehouse at will. Moreover, the American warehousing culture does not allow storage companies to do this. Because once the storage company does this, we treasure pickers will never be able to take any good warehouses. Over time, no one will go to the warehouse auction again. How can the storage company deal with those private warehouses? Not to mention anything else, the garbage stored in the warehouse is enough for the storage company to have a headache."

"So, except for a very small number of warehousing company staff who have no professional ethics, they will play a strait ball and enter those private warehouses in the name of maintaining the warehouse, and then sell the news to treasure pickers to earn extra money. Most warehousing companies strictly prohibit staff from entering private warehouses that are about to be auctioned without authorization."

Lin Dan shrugged his shoulders and said as if he had remembered something: "Of course, the warehousing companies controlled by gangs cannot say anything. Those warehousing companies controlled by gangs are often channels used by gangs to launder money, and gangs can launder money through this form of storage and auction. However, such warehousing companies are very rare, especially larger warehousing companies. This kind of situation will not happen if staff members enter the warehouse in advance or are controlled by gangs without authorization. Therefore, most of the warehousing and auctions in the United States are still very formal."

After Lin Dan said this, Yang Jing understood a little. "Xiaolin, what you mean is that this kind of formal warehouse auction is actually a process of picking up bargains, right? It means that whoever has better eyes and whoever has better luck can get a better warehouse?"

"Well, Brother Yang, you think so. Many treasure pickers rely on this to make a living and even make a fortune."

After a pause, Lin Dan continued: "In fact, not only in the United States, but also in many European countries, the warehouse culture is quite developed. Two years ago, I saw a news that a retired Portuguese used his pension to buy a warehouse in Portugal. The warehouse has been empty for fifteen years. Even the former owner and wife of the warehouse are no longer alive, and there is no heir. The doors and windows of the warehouse have been welded to death. Even if the locals want to open the warehouse, it will cost a certain amount of money. As a result, no one has moved the warehouse for fifteen years. In desperation, the local government auctioned the warehouse."

"As a result, the Portuguese bought the warehouse. The Portuguese originally bought the warehouse and was ready to repair it for him, but when he opened the warehouse, he was surprised by the things inside."

"There must be treasures hidden inside, right?" Yang Jing's interest was also hanged up.

"It's more than a baby! This guy is simply a dog. Luck! Because in that warehouse that has been covered with 15 years, there are dozens of classic cars parked! Including classic cars from famous car brands such as Aston Martin, Mercedes-Benz, Lotus, BMW V8, Chrysler, etc., there is an F1 racing car, of course, they are also classic cars from the 1960s and 1970s."

"Damn! If you say this, this guy is so lucky!" Yang Jing was also a little moved.

"Of course, after these classic cars were cleaned up, after expert evaluation, would you guess how much these classic cars are worth? 35 million US dollars! Just take out one of these classic cars and it will be worth more than one million US dollars! The classic cars in this warehouse are worth a total of 35 million US dollars!"

When Yang Jing heard this number, he couldn't help but swallow. If it were in China, it would definitely be a rhythm of picking up big holes! He could only pick up such a big hole in 1994. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to pick up such a big hole in the present, and it would be unlikely to have a holy ring to be with him.

Looking at Lin Dan's excited face, Yang Jing said, "Did you just say that you made some extra money refer to the warehouse auction?"
Chapter completed!
