Chapter 714: Security or freedom?

Xiao Peng had seen a bar and a small hotel, but he had never seen a bar in a small hotel, and the hotel Sean and the others found was such a place.
As soon as Xiao Peng entered the door, he thought he was at the bar. Several people were sitting at the bar and drinking. Seeing Martin and Sean walk in, a person who was drinking shouted, "Hey! Martin, you vulture that smells rancid. , Why did you come here? Didn't you say that you will never come to California again?"
"Hey, Condon, are you here too? Why did you come here if you weren't in your hometown in Nevada?" Martin greeted the speaker. These veteran Taobao people have almost dealt many times, saying hello one by one, as if the other party was a friend who hadn't seen for many years. In fact, one by one, they wished each other out and let the car crash. After all, this industry is a direct competitor. Two Taobao people want to be friends? Unless it is a partnership.
Condon, who was drinking, said, "Martin, you might as well go home as soon as possible. We, the Neda Chinese in the warehouse tomorrow, are welcome!"
Martin sneered: "Conton, when did you become a Californian? Nick, the local Taobao man, dare not say such things. You are too arrogant."
Condon laughed, "Martin, this news is too unclear, right? You don't even know about such a major event? Nick will not be able to participate in this storage auction tomorrow. To be precise, his few people Can't come anymore."
Martin frowned. "Is this true?"
Condon laughed and said, "Well, who made me kind? Let me tell you a piece of information for free." In a warehouse auction, the most important thing is information. For example, you can learn about the owner of the auction warehouse through the staff of the warehouse company. At this point, an experienced Taobao person can use this information to figure out what goods are in the warehouse, and then make a bid. It can be said that for Taobao people, intelligence is the most important asset.
Martin asked, "What information? Would you tell me so well?"
Condon said, "Of course, and it's still good news! Well, that's how it happened. Last night Nick and his companions didn't know what to think. They wanted to go to the beach in Monterey in the middle of the night, but they came across two. A violent man, he beat them up, tied them to a tree and hung them all night. Now they are all in the hospital, it is impossible to attend the auction tomorrow."
Xiao Peng heard it, and suddenly thought of the screams he heard last night. Damn, isn't it them?
Xiao Peng curled his lips. Compared with Huaxia, the law and order in Star-Stripe Nation is really bad. Unlike Huaxia, there is surveillance everywhere. Tourist attractions like Monterey do not have much surveillance, which increases the capture of criminals. A lot of difficulty, so the crime rate in Star Stripe Nation is really higher than that in China. Poor Nick. . . . . .
In general, the public security situation in Western countries is ‘not bad’ worldwide, at least much better than those of war-torn countries, but it is definitely not ‘safe’.
This is because in many Western countries, subject to the restrictions of the so-called ‘human rights law’, it is impossible to establish a public security supervision system. The vast majority of Western countries do not allow the installation of surveillance in public places. Even a ‘civilized’ country like France, even dash cams are considered human rights violations. . . . . .
Because monitoring and other equipment are not legally popularized, the detection rate in many areas is extremely low. Compared with many Asian countries, public security is far worse. Take the country of Japan as an example. The country’s crime rate is one of the lowest in the world. The reason for this is that the Japanese government has the highest police force per capita in the world.
Sometimes it is a dilemma whether to be safe or free. Security is necessary, and freedom is also necessary. But it definitely does not include the freedom to make trouble without reason. Those who chant slogans for'absolute freedom' should be thrown into primitive society. There is the most free place.
What does this have to do with yourself? Going to the beach in the middle of the night knowing it's unsafe? Give them two words ----- deserve it!
After Xiao Peng and others settled in the hotel, Xiao Peng and Emilia went out for sightseeing, and Martin and the others are now focusing all their energy on gathering information. After all, they decided to come here suddenly, knowing nothing about the warehouse information here, without intelligence, how can they dare to bid directly at a high price?
But Xiao Peng doesn't care about this, he just wants to have fun, look around, what kind of information to collect? Throwing the idea clone into the warehouse, everything is clear, isn't it? So Xiao Peng and Emilia had a great day of fun. The strange house must be visited, and Emilia is more curious about the scenery of the town, where various sketches are drawn. , And directly worked hard, let Xiao Peng be a model. All in all, the two had a great time playing this day. When they returned to the hotel with a meal and drink, it was already past eight o'clock, but as soon as they returned to the hotel entrance, Xiao Peng saw Sean standing there.
"Hey, Xiao, you are finally back. If you don't come back, Martin and I may call the police." Sean said.
Xiao Peng was speechless: "Can you call me."
Sean shook his head, pretending to be mysterious, and said in a low voice: "We are afraid that if you interrupt your romantic date, your laser eye sister will take off her sunglasses and kill us."
This reason is very good and powerful. In front of them, Emilia still wears sunglasses.
Xiao Peng hurriedly changed the subject: "What are you doing here?"
Sean said: "Let's go, let's have a couple of drinks, Martin and Hodison are waiting for us over there."
Upon seeing this, Xiao Peng greeted Emilia, Emilia was too tired to play, she should wash and sleep well, so she would not be with Xiao Peng, Xiao Peng and Sean found Martin and Hodison , The two of them are sitting at a table drinking, but they don’t look very emotional. Seeing Xiao Peng coming, Martin waved.
"Martin, what's the matter with you? It doesn't seem to be very interesting." Xiao Peng sat over.
Martin sighed: "I ran for a day today, and there is no useful information. I ran for nothing."
Xiao Peng smiled: "What does this have to do? Does the lack of intelligence make up for the lack of intelligence?"
Martin said: "If you have the power of observation, it would be great, Xiao, we need your help."
"Oh? What?" Xiao Peng took a sip of beer and looked at Martin.
Martin said: "Xiao, Sean and I have decided to join forces. We will each spend 50% of the funds in the auction tomorrow and bid together."
"You finally cooperated? This is a good thing." Xiao Peng nodded.
Martin said: "We also want to get you together, your observation is too strong. We want you to help us choose the warehouse."
Xiao Peng was taken aback for a moment: "Martin, I'm also lucky. It's impossible to guess every time, isn't it? If you miss it, it will be messed up?" Xiao Peng does know what is in the warehouse, but He doesn't know the value of things. If they are photographed at a high price, if they are not worth the money, they will be blind.
Martin waved his hand: "Xiao, don't rush to reject us, you just listen to me first. We believe in your observation, so this cooperation will not let you do anything in vain. If there is any benefit, we will give you 20%. Earnings! There is also something for you."
After saying this, Sean stretched out his hand to Hodison. Hodison took out a card and handed it to Xiao Peng. Xiao Peng curiously took it. It turned out to be a card with his own head printed on it. Xiao Peng took a look: Taobao Certificate of membership of the association.
"This is?" Xiao Peng looked at several people with a puzzled look.
Martin said: "Don't you want to earn money all the way? In the Star-Tangled Nation, such storage auctions are still very common. If you have this membership, you can always consult the association to know where there are storage auctions in the nearest location. Maybe you can still make money. Isn’t it a sum? Sean and I are your referrals and recommend you to join the association. In the future, if you encounter such warehouse auctions during your journey, you will not miss it. After all, some auctions only allow warehouse auction practitioners to participate. The membership fee for the first year is a gift from us, you can rely on you for the rest."
Xiao Peng laughed when he heard it. He also counted as finding an organization in the Star Striped Nation? Looking at the small green card, Xiao Peng said with emotion: "Xingtiao Country really has an organization for everything. There is also an association for garbage picking!"
After hearing this, Martin shook his head and said: "We are the Association of Storage Treasure Hunters, and the trash pickers are not an association. They belong to the Trash Collection Classification Association.
Xiao Peng was speechless. In his eyes, this warehouse auction was really not much different from picking up trash. Martin told him that the two were not the same. In the Stars and Stripes, there were also trash picking organizations. . . . . .
But Martin and Sean are so sincere, and Xiao Peng is not easy to refuse: "Well, that's it, cheers, let us sweep the auction room tomorrow! I will try my best to find the treasure, after all And my commission, isn’t it? Hahahaha."
Hearing Xiao Peng's answer, Martin all laughed and held up their glasses: "Cheers!"
However, Xiao Peng’s voice was a bit loud. It was heard by the people next to him, and some people were dissatisfied: "Hey, Huaxia boy, what madness are you talking about? Sweeping the auction floor? Don’t ask uncle if I agree!" Xiao Peng At first glance, it was Condon who came across this morning.
Condon and his team surrounded Xiao Peng and others with seven or eight Taobao people. There were a lot of people from Nidahua this time, staring at Xiao Peng and others fiercely.
Martin stood up: "Conton, what are you doing?"
Condon said triumphantly: "Then you need to ask? We have to teach this arrogant Chinese kid! Martin, let me tell you, you stay away, or you can clean up with you!"
"You try to pack it up?" Martin refused to give up.
"Conton! Don't do it here!" the boss shouted.
Condon waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, we will go out to deal with this matter, Huaxia boy, go out with us, don’t be troubled. Men’s contradictions, of course, must be resolved in a man’s way, you Chinese men don’t Will they not bring seeds like this?"
After hearing this, Xiao Peng smiled, took the beer on the table and drank it, holding the beer bottle with both hands at random, and directly smashed the beer bottle in full view! Xiao Peng looked at Condon with a smile but a smile: "Are you sure you are going to have any conflict with me?"
"Oh my god." Condon and his party exclaimed. "Is this Chinese Kungfu?"
Sean's eyes widened, but although Old Martin was a bit surprised but still acceptable, he knew Xiao Peng was a brute force monster.
Condon was also taken aback, looked at Xiao Peng, swallowed, and grabbed a broken beer bottle? What power is needed for this? If you want to pinch it on yourself, isn't the bones turning into bone scum in minutes? Condon looked at the broken wine bottle on the ground, his eyes rolled: "What I said is that we should solve this problem in a man's way!"
Xiao Peng was taken aback after hearing this, "Isn't fist-to-fist a man's way of solving problems? Now that you have challenged, I will continue."
Condon said, "Are you Chinese people so barbaric? How do you know how to fight? There are many ways for men to solve the problem! Fists can't solve the problem, we have a better solution."
"What way?" Xiao Peng became curious! This Condon is a bit interesting. He has a good grasp of the so-called ‘three elements of gangster survival’.
what? What are the ‘three elements of gangster survival’? Win with more, rely on the strong to bully the weak, and run away if you can't beat. . . . . .
"I'm talking about drinking with you! Whoever drinks first is a booze! The loser shouted three times to everyone: I am a booze, and then I'm responsible for inviting everyone here to drink today!" Condon told Xiao Peng Explained.
Hearing Condon's proposal, everyone cheered. To them, whoever wins is not the most important thing, because no matter who wins or loses, they can drink free wine.
What wine is best for them? That must be free!
Xiao Peng nodded: "Then follow your proposal." After speaking, he picked up the beer bottle on the table: "When shall we start?"
Condon saw Xiao Peng picking up the beer and shook his head: "Hey, we can't compare the beer that these ladies drink. We want to compare with whiskey. Don't you dare?"
He noticed that Xiao Peng had been drinking beer here just now, so he asked him to drink whiskey instead.
People who drink often know that drinking with alcohol is a taboo, and it is easy to get drunk if you drink several kinds of alcohol together.
Xiao Peng's expression became weird after listening to Condon's words: "Are you sure?"
"Of course I am sure, Huaxia, do you dare?" Condon triumphed.
Xiao Peng scratched his head: "Then you can drink anything now, right? Anyway, you lose the bill, right?"
After hearing this, Condon thought for a while: "As long as it is the whiskey in this shop."
"If you dare to die, I dare to bury it!" Xiao Peng stretched out his hand, "Boss, take out the most expensive whiskey in your store, whatever brand is OK! Give me five bottles of gargle first!"
