Chapter 211
Driving bulletproof Cullinan to greet them was Sam, who drove to San Diego early in the morning.
Because of the poor security in San Diego, Sam arrived in advance with six armed security guards and four bulletproof vehicles to make some preparations.
In addition, several company employees are on their way to San Diego, who are the main force in clearing containers.
Along with Sam, there were Sylvia and Kevin.
After the helicopter stopped in the open space of the pier, the guys immediately greeted them.
Xiao Ran immediately led the people out of the cabin and joined Sylvia and them.
As soon as they met, Sylvia said enviously:
"Sean, you guy is so willing to buy such a luxurious medium helicopter
" "To be honest, this is one of the best business helicopters I have ever seen, I'm afraid of tens of millions of dollars, right?"
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded.
"This Bell 525 business helicopter is indeed good in performance and indeed luxurious
" "But this thing is also very expensive, more than ten million dollars, but it is worth the money"
With his words, Sylvia and they immediately exclaimed.
Not surprisingly, they were all taken aback by the high price.
After a few small talks, Xiao Ran got to the point.
"Sylvia, tell me about what you know? What happened to these containers from Colombia?
Sylvia did not respond immediately, but looked at the high-definition camera pinned to Xiao Ran's chest.
Seeing her action, Xiao Ran understood it instantly.
However, he did not turn off the camera or the microphone.
"Guys, don't worry that my fans will leak secrets, they are thousands of miles away in China, but we are in San Diego
" "The auction will start soon, even if they have a professional treasure hunter they know in the United States, they will not be able to arrive in time
" "More importantly, the auction is about vision and strength, even if someone leaks secrets, it is useless!"
When he said this, his tone was full of confidence.
In the live broadcast room, there was a roar of applause.
Sylvia and Kevin paused for a moment, then laughed softly.
"We are accustomed to nature, treating you as an ordinary professional treasure hunter like ourselves, and we didn't understand the situation
" "A super rich man like you, where do you need to worry about leaking secrets, you can smash everyone with money!"
Kevin said enviously.
"Hahaha"
everyone laughed.
After the laughter fell, Kevin began to introduce the situation.
"Several of these containers auctioned today may have been sent from Cartagena, Colombia, and none of them were claimed, so they were auctioned publicly
" "According to legend, these containers are likely to come from the Gem Street in Bogotá, the capital of Colombia, and are all the belongings of several famous gem dealers!"
Before the words fell, Xiao Ran's eyes flashed with surprise.
"The Colombian gem dealer's container? Could it be that these containers contain a lot of top-quality emeralds?
"Colombia is known to produce the best emeralds in the world, and Bogotá's Gem Street is the most important distribution center for emeralds,"
Kevin nodded lightly and gave an affirmative answer.
"That's right, Sean, there are probably a lot of high-quality emeralds hidden in these containers from Cartagena,"
he continued.
Those Colombian gem dealers are all counted in Bogotá Gem Street and have a strong strength.
Because he offended the boss of a ruthless local drug cartel, he ran away with his family.
The place they chose to run was San Diego, USA.
As a result, they had to carry a large number of belongings, had to evade customs inspections, and coupled with the suspension of navigation, they had to go by sea.
They packed all their belongings into several containers and smuggled them to Cartagena.
Then he spent money to dredge up relations and load the container onto a cargo ship bound for San Diego.
The cargo ship took the container, but the family could not escape, and were found by the drug cartel, cutting down the grass and roots.
As a result, the containers they shipped to the United States became ownerless.
Months will pass before it will appear at today's container auction.
The news about these containers came from Cartagena, Colombia, and the authenticity is unknown.
Even so, the news made quite a wave.
Hearing the news, many professional treasure hunters rushed to San Diego to participate in this container auction.
Among these people are Kevin and Sylvia.
They had arrived in San Diego three or four days ago, and they had been looking around for the past two days.
The more they learn, the more uncertain they feel.
In desperation, they called Xiao Ran and asked him to come to San Diego.
After listening to the introduction, Xiao Ran's eyes suddenly became brighter.
At the same time, he also thought about some things.
He looked at the guys in front of him, smiled meaningfully, and said:
"Kevin, you called me to San Diego, it's not just because of strength, is it related to Colombian gangs?"
"Are you worried about running into people from the Colombian drug cartel at the auction, that's why you called me over?"
Kevin and they were stunned for a moment, their faces were a little red, obviously a little embarrassed.
After a pause, Sylvia nodded.
"It must be admitted, Sean, we do have such careful thinking, no way, our strength is too weak!"
"In fact, Colombians have already appeared in San Diego, and it seems that they are also going to send people to participate in this container auction
" "Against those guys, we really have no bottom, that's why we want to cooperate with you, just like last time in Las Vegas"
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded, did not say anything, but continued to listen.
He wasn't too worried about the Colombians Sylvia mentioned.
After a pause, Sylvia continued:
"How tough you guy is, we know very well, we know very well, we know that you have the strength to take these valuable containers
" "Of course, if you are not willing to cooperate, no one can force you, you should come to San Diego to travel"
The words fell, these guys all looked at Xiao Ran, and everyone was full of expectation.
Xiao Ran did not respond immediately, but fell into deep thought.
In the live broadcast room, there was already a frying pan at this time.
"Me! This container auction seems to be dangerous, Colombian drug cartels are not easy to mess with!
"Xiao Ran, take it easy, you are now a billionaire, there is no need to take this risk,"
said with such simple concern.
"If you don't have diamonds, don't work with porcelain!" Sylvia, they are obviously a little out of their minds!
"Xiao Ran, for the sake of safety, don't participate in this auction, even if you do, you should get rid of these guys!"
Tonight said like a dream.
With these discussions, Xiao Ran also sobered up.
The next moment, he said in a low voice:
"Since I came to San Diego, I still really want to participate in this container auction, otherwise I won't run for nothing
" "Look at the situation then, maybe you can get a lot of top emeralds, and everyone can also gain something
" "As for those guys from the Colombian drug cartel, I'm not very worried, their time has long passed
" "If you let the people of the Mexican drug cartel know, When they come to San Diego, it is estimated that it will be difficult to leave here alive,"
with his words, many fans in the live broadcast room exclaimed.
At the same time, everyone became more excited.
Xiao Ran looked at Kevin and them, and then nodded and said:
"Whether to cooperate with you and bid for those containers that may hide a large number of emeralds, I am not sure yet
" "This needs to go to the scene to see the situation, if those containers are worth my risk, it is not too late to talk about cooperation"
Sylvia and they immediately looked at each other, and then nodded in unison.
"No problem, Sean, the initiative of cooperation is in your hands
" "It's up to you to decide whether to cooperate or not, and we can accept any result"
After a few more words, everyone got on the car and rushed to a nearby five-star hotel.
Sam's room was on the top floor of that five-star hotel.
From the top floor of that five-star hotel, right overlooking the port of San Diego, the view and view are very nice.
Soon, it was around half past nine in the morning.
Xiao Ran and they left the hotel and drove to the location where this container auction was held.
This is the largest cargo yard in the Port of San Diego, and the size is staggering.
Due to the current special situation, here, like other ports in the United States, the cargo piles up and piles up more and more.
Many of these containers are unclaimed and face the fate of being auctioned off one after another.
As soon as the car arrived at the parking lot in front of the freight yard, Xiao Ran saw it.
In and around the entrance of this parking lot, there are many vehicles parked horizontally.
And next to each car, there were a few fierce and vicious guys.
These guys are almost all Hispanic, and all of them are tattooed all over their bodies, even on their faces.
Among them, there are many scrawny, but fierce guys, who are addicts at first glance.
These guys are the craziest and most easily discarded cannon fodder to consume.
In addition, there were quite a few police officers at the scene, as well as guys wearing FBI uniforms and DEA uniforms.
The guys, all dressed in body armor and armed with assault rifles, armed to the teeth, vigilantly watched the movements around them.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Ran and David's faces changed.
The next moment, Xiao Ran said with a gloomy face:
"Fak! If I'm not mistaken,
these scum outside are all rushing to this container auction" "Those FBI agents and DEA agents are also coming to this container auction, rushing to these scum outside
" "The situation of this container auction is likely to be far more complicated than Kevin and they know
" Before the words fell, Anthony, who was driving, continued:
"Sean, you guessed right, Judging by the tattoos of these scum outside, they come from different paths
" "Among them are the scum of the Mexican Sinaloa drug cartel, and there are also members of the Colombian drug cartel Gulf Gang
" "These guys have always been tit-for-tat, if it weren't for the FBI and DEA agents here, they would have fought a long time ago"
As they were discussing, the scum outside looked at the convoy in amazement.
When they saw Xiao Ran's bulletproof Cullinan, their eyes lit up one by one, and their eyes were full of greed.
