Pick up bargains in Chinatown and make 10,000 times the profit at the beginning

Chapter 112 The Tin Can Underground

Lin Yuan and his companions came to the area after the fire. They saw that the place was in ruins, as if it was the end of the world. The roadside was full of car shells that had been burned into iron frames.

"Is it so serious?" Lin Yuan was surprised.

Although he knew that the fire was very serious, after all, the thick smoke seemed to engulf the entire San Francisco, but Lin Yuan really didn't know it was so serious that almost one-sixth of San Francisco was burned down.

Isn't this burning too fast?

If we give it another ten days or so, will the entire San Francisco be gone?

"The news said that according to statistics, the direct economic losses from this fire reached more than 30 billion US dollars." Henry smiled bitterly.

The United States is his motherland, and he also hopes that his motherland will be well!

But some politicians just don't do practical things. When there was a fire in people's houses, they didn't even actively put out the fire.

“There are a lot of people over there.”

Henry: "Is it probably where the bank is? There's no need to go there. Even if we dig it out, we probably won't get a share."

There must have been many bank branches and sub-branches in this area. If the cash inside had not been taken away at the time, it would have basically been burned.

If there is gold, it may still be left.

But Henry thought it was unlikely. If there were important assets such as gold, they would have sent people with guns to guard the original site the moment the fire stopped.

"It could also be a gold shop?" Paul said.

If it was a gold shop, there would still be a chance to get a piece of the pie. Even if the gold inside was hastily evacuated when the fire started, there would still be some left, right?

Lin Yuan and others went over to listen to others' discussion. As expected, it was originally from the business department of the bank. Now that it was burned like this, the only place where valuables might still be found was the safe in the basement.

This business department is very large, and the underground vault should really exist.

However, Henry looked around and didn't see anyone from the bank or any official person, so he guessed that there must be nothing valuable inside.

These people are basically wasting time here.

"Let's go! Let's take a look at other places." Lin Yuan said.

He turned around and found no movement from the treasure-hunting device, which meant that the gold and other things had indeed been safely removed. It was impossible for the underground vault to be more than 12 meters deep, right?
Then Lin Yuan had nothing to say.

That was not a chance he could take advantage of, so he didn't feel sorry about it.

After walking for a while, Lin Yuan called a halt.

"Let's dig here." Lin Yuan said.

Henry and the others took out shovels and other tools from the back of the pickup truck. Without asking any questions, Lin Yuan told them to dig, and they began digging hard.

Still not prepared enough!

If we have to dig it by manpower, how long will it take?
Unlike others, they not only have professional detection equipment, but also mechanical excavation tools. They are very fast and basically work as a team.

Fortunately, David and Tony were not weaklings and they dug the soil very quickly.

With a "duang" sound, David knew what he had dug up and stopped digging immediately.

"Everyone come and see."

Everyone gathered around, and David and Tony carefully cleared the dirt around the pit. Soon, a tin can appeared in front of everyone.

When they opened the tin, they found a stack of banknotes, a pistol, a watch, several gold bars, and a handful of coins. Well, everyone could guess that the original owner of this "treasure box" was definitely not a good person.

"It's amazing, boss, how did you find out?" David was shocked.

Lin Yuan just made up some reasons that sounded reasonable, but as for how much people believed them, that was none of his business.

"I see." Tony nodded, feeling that if he just observed carefully, it might work.

Everyone looked at Lin Yuan. How should we divide what we dug out?
If it was dug out by Lin Yuan himself, then there is no dispute that it must be Lin Yuan's. Besides, Henry and others would be embarrassed to share the profits!

Lin Yuan knew what everyone meant.

With so many people watching, he would not eat alone if he could. Normally, when he went out to pick up bargains, he would give everyone a share of the spoils, let alone now?

"David and Tony shared the stack of banknotes. They each got one gold bar, which was just enough. As for the watches and coins..."

Before Lin Yuan could finish, Henry said, "We definitely can't ask for anything else."

They would be satisfied if they could get a gold bar.

David and Tony made the greatest efforts in digging the pit just now, so Lin Yuan divided the stack of money among them, and Henry and Paul naturally had no objection.

That stack of bills was estimated to be more than 10,000 US dollars.

David and Tony thanked them repeatedly. Not to mention treasure hunting, they would even be willing to dig up corpses as long as they could make that much money.

After hearing this, Lin Yuan said nothing more.

He picked up the watch and found it was a famous watch.

Collection of famous watches has always been one of the most popular collections.

Watch collecting began in the mid-20s. In 80, some aristocrats in the American upper class suddenly started wearing vintage watches from before World War II, and this trend quickly swept the world.

Some discerning collectors and investors began to pay attention and quickly joined the ranks of watch collectors. Watches soon became the new favorite in the collecting world.

Over the past 20 years, the craze for watch collecting has been growing stronger and stronger. It is not difficult to see from the high prices sold at major auction houses that more and more people are becoming more and more enthusiastic about watch collecting.

Scarcity makes things valuable. Limited edition watches have a higher collection value due to their unique and rare characteristics, and the unique number greatly increases the chance of appreciation. From the brand to the function, material, and whether it is limited edition, these determine the value of a watch.

In addition to craftsmanship and brand, whether a watch retains its value is closely related to the metal used, so it is relatively important to understand the various materials of metal.

Generally speaking, the movement of a watch is mostly made of brass, and the case is made of four types of gold: yellow gold, rose gold, white gold and platinum. The best price and value retention is first platinum, followed by yellow gold, rose gold, and finally white gold.

In fact, watches, a miniature art world, hide a rich history and craftsmanship behind them. This is especially true for famous watches. From complex mechanical structures to exquisite craftsmanship and carvings, from classical designs to modern innovations, each famous watch carries a story.

"This is a famous watch, a Rolex, and it's very valuable." Lin Yuan told everyone frankly.

Henry and others knew their own limitations and did not continue to participate in the profit sharing.

Who doesn't know that Rolex watches are valuable? They are world-famous watches!

As we all know, Rolex has always been in the leading position in the field of watch manufacturing, constantly introducing innovative technologies and designs.

Its market supply is relatively limited, especially the discontinued models, which further increases its scarcity and collection value.

"Brother Lin, just put it away quickly! Don't tell us how much it is worth." Henry said.

The others couldn't help but nod.
