MTL - American Warehouse Taobao King-Chapter 17 【Buy a car】
The Mercedes-Benz truck in front of me looks very fashionable. The black spray paint depicts the pattern of flames, and the height of the two front wheels reaches 1.2 meters. The inside of the compartment is very clean. Yang Yong personally opened the door of the Mercedes-Benz truck and sat in to feel it. The cab is very spacious. Because the lift frame of the truck is very high, the sight of the front windshield is very good, and the instrument panel is also very modern.
The interior is made of walnut wood, with a classic atmosphere, and all kinds of facilities in the cab are complete, even a 30-liter small refrigerator is placed in front of the passenger's leg. There are two bunk beds behind the car seat, and the beds are one meter wide and the space is very large, and it is very comfortable for people to sleep on. I checked that the gear of the car is automatic, and the mileage of the truck is 3,500 kilometers. It can be said that Yang Yong, who jumped out of the cab just after the break-in period, expressed great satisfaction. Then I looked at the rear compartment again. The area of the compartment reached 20 cubic meters and the length reached six meters. There was more than enough to store the junk that I auctioned back, and the load of this truck reached 30 tons, which is enough. The price is also very fair. The most important thing is that this Mercedes-Benz truck has not had any traffic accidents and has not been flooded. Yang Yong is very lucky to be able to buy such a favorite truck for $35,000.
Immediately decided to pay the full amount in cash to buy the Mercedes-Benz truck. After the two parties signed various documents, the truck changed its surname to Yang and was Yang Yong’s private property. After buying the Mercedes-Benz truck, Yang Yong asked the staff who sold it to him where he could refit the truck. After all, this truck is too high, and the ground in the rear compartment reaches 1.2 meters. There are a lot of heavy things that cannot be lifted on the car, and a hydraulic lift must be added to the rear compartment to transport large and heavy loads. After the car salesman's guidance, Yang Yong drove a Mercedes-Benz for more than ten kilometers and came to a car refitting factory. Yang Yong wanted to carry out large-scale renovation of the carriage, not only adding a lift, but also adding a locked inside the carriage. A secret room for storing valuables. This secret room does not need to be too wide and one meter wide. The thickness of the vertical steel plate is two centimeters. It takes 10 minutes to cut the steel plate with an oxygen welding machine. The rest of the modification plan is just to add a few hooks on the inner wall of the car to fix the things in the car to prevent some important mechanical equipment from hitting the rear car when cornering. There is a toilet, a water tank, a few A workbench also has several high-power batteries.
Finally, there is the lift. The lifting capacity of the lift should reach more than 5 tons, so that it can cover most of the scope of use. The modification cost of the Mercedes-Benz truck reached 15,000 US dollars, which means that Yang Yong bought a truck and added the modification fee. A total of $50,000 was spent, and Yang Yong, who was half the cash reserve, was trembling. But you have to modify it, because it is too troublesome to not have a lift. After all, the auctioned warehouse has only one day to process it. If the time limit is exceeded, you only need to accept a fine and confiscate the contents in the warehouse.
The Mercedes-Benz truck was handed over to the refit factory Yang Yong, took a taxi, returned to the second-hand car trading market, got into his Chevrolet and ran home. When I came to my building, I opened the backyard door and drove the Chevrolet in. From then on, the garage on the first floor became my workshop. My car could only be parked in my small garden to endure the wind and rain. beated. The garage of Yang Yong’s family is not large, only 25 square meters. At this stage, it is still very qualified as a transshipment warehouse. There are many ready-made tools in the garage, and there is even an oxygen cutting machine.
Yang Yong spent the morning tidying up his garage, and then dragged his tired body back to his grocery store. I said hello to my mother and ran up to the 2nd floor to go back to the room to wash off my exhaustion, and then use the computer to watch my recruitment information. The more he looked at Yang Yong, the happier he was, because 4 qualified people had already applied for his recruitment information. Yang Yong contacted them one by one and explained that the interview time was on April 1st, that is, the day after tomorrow, and at 10 o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow at his own job site. Garage conducts preliminary interviews with 4 candidates who meet the criteria. After dealing with these matters, Yang Yong still concentrates on searching the Internet for information such as where there are auctions of abandoned unowned warehouses. There are thousands of unowned warehouses auctioned every day in the United States. These more than 1,000 warehouses are just a generalization. Numbers, there are no experts and scholars to count the real numbers. Therefore, more than 1,000 warehouses are just a general concept. According to Yang Yong’s own estimation, the exact number of unowned warehouses that are sold every day in the continental United States is unclear, but at least more than 10,000 warehouses are auctioned. Therefore, there is a lot of auction information on the Internet. Thousands of warehouses conduct auctions every day in dozens of states. Today is Dallas and tomorrow is Boston, so the information is very rich.
Yang Yong used a notebook to record the information of all warehouse auctions in April and summarized it, and then used a map to indicate the driving route. You can make money by visiting every city once. Hard work is inevitable, but there is a saying that no one can succeed casually. No one can get money without suffering. Therefore, in the next month, Yang Yong will transform into a road angel, spending 24 hours a day in the car. You can imagine how terrifying such a day is, but for the green dollars, Yang Yong has to grit his teeth and persevere.
Put the map of the United States marked with the action route into his carry-on bag, and see that in the afternoon, he has time to deposit 20,000 US dollars of the 50,000 US dollars in the bank and put it in his card to facilitate his own withdrawal of money. There are more than 30,000 US dollars left. Put the dollars in your purse with you. Because all state governments in the United States stipulate that bidders for auctioning abandoned homeowners' warehouses need to pay in cash, and refuse to swipe cards and checks, so cash must be carried with you. Because all bidders must pay cash as soon as the auction ends, even if you swipe your card to withdraw money, there is no time.
In the remaining two days after finishing these trivial matters, Yang Yong immediately became a good baby. During the day, he helped his mother to set up a stall, and then took the supply list of his grocery store and called each supplier to get a batch. goods. At least it can store up to a month’s worth of storage. After all, many of the goods sold in my grocery store are heavy-weight items. I am not at home, and my mother can’t move it alone, which will affect my business, so Yang Yang Yong plans to prepare more goods for his mother to sell while he has time. A month later, I will come back to stock up on the grocery store to save my mother's fatigue. Time passes very quickly when people have serious things to do. Two days passed quickly. On the morning of April 1, Yang Yong got up early. After eating breakfast made by his mother, he returned to the kitchen, made a pot of strong black tea, brought a few cigars and went downstairs to his garage. Set up chairs and tables at the garage door, sit quietly and drink tea while waiting for the candidates to come to the door. Just after 10 o'clock, Yang Yong heard the sound of brakes on the street. Because there is an application sign on the wall of the garage door, Yang Yong was not afraid that the applicant could not find the accurate recruitment position. Sure enough, two minutes later, a middle-aged white man in a white shirt and jeans, who looked like a 35-year-old white man walked in. Yang Yong's garage.
