Li Du knew that many people paid close attention to him, wanted to know how he could get ahold of so many treasures, and analyze his process during auctions.
The treasure hunters from California had almost caught him off guard that one time. If he hadn't erased all the information about storage units from his notebook, he would have been dead meat.
After being blocked from entering, Li Du didn't insist on going in; instead he asked the guard, ”Have you seen those Franklins in my friend's hands? Do you want them?”
The black guard licked his lips and stared at the money greedily. ”Yeah bro, I want them. I f*cking love that face.”
”Well, if you give me the floor plan of the storage area, these faces will be yours,” Li Du said.
The black guard shook his head and laughed, ”This place is not a tourist spot—where could I get a floor plan for you? I'm sorry, but I can't help you with this.”
Li Du shrugged. ”Oh well, too bad. I think I'm gonna go ask one of your colleagues. They might have what I need.”
The black guard panicked when he heard what Li Du said. He stopped Li Du and said, ”There's only one floor plan so I can't get it for you. But I can take a photo for you—a very clear one.”
”That will do.”
After a while, Li Du had the photo his phone. The black guard received the payment from Hans and went back to his office joyfully. However, he didn't take his eyes off them; he was scared that they would cause trouble.
Hans ignored the guard and asked Li Du, ”What's the floor plan for?”
”It's good to learn the layout of the units, right?” Li Du sat under the shade of the facility wall and studied the photo on his phone. He copied the map onto a piece of paper and marked any storage units that would be sold in the auction.
After a while, he released the little bug and instructed it to look around the storage area. Li Du wanted to find out what was inside the first storage unit on auction, which was unit 2.
There were many large storage units, which seemed to be in line with the needs of Tucson in the sixties and seventies.
The Native Americans had first resided in the area now known as Tucson. The Spanish missionaries had come and built a church in the late 17th century. Now, churches that had been built in the 18th century could still be found around the city.
In 1776, the Spanish built a garrison fortress in Tucson. The city was formed around the fortress.
In 1821, Mexico gained independence, and Tucson was part of Mexico. Thirty-two years later, Tucson belonged to America through the Gadsden Purchase.
In 1880, the Southern Pacific Railway was built. In addition, many silver and bronze mines were found around the area. Tucson developed quickly until it became one of the most important cities in the desert region of Southern Arizona.
At that time, the Red Mount Storage Company was built to help small corporations and companies. Many large units were prepared for them to store their machines.
However, upon entering the 20th century, with the rapid development of the Internet, it brought about great changes to the consumer behavior and market conditions. Because of this, many small corporations and companies went bankrupt.
