Chapter 87: Chapter 87: Applying for a Green Card? Hosting a Container Auction?

Sean Knight didn’t know about what had happened to the Joseph Family.

After parting with Robert, he took the six gold bars to Mr. John.

Two were openly dug up from Joseph’s place, and four came from the container shipped from Dubai.

As for the other gold, jewelry, and gemstone rough, Sean planned to hold them for the time being.

After all, they were acquired through an unconventional channel and needed a proper opportunity to dispose of them.

Seeing the gold bars that Sean brought, Mr. John whistled cheerfully to express his mood:

"Sean, you keep surprising me! I heard that you challenged the Treasure Hunters? Many people are asking about you inquiring about you."

Sean pretended to be angry while recounting the unfair treatment he had received from the Joseph Family. Then he pointed at the four gold bars and said:

"These four were originally taken out of the containers at the pier. I planned to keep them for emergencies, but now it seems unnecessary."

Mr. John held a gold bar, took a look, and put it down. He said to Sean:

"You don’t need to worry about Joseph’s family affairs anymore. They violated the rules and the treasure hunters have started to boycott them. Now, no one wants to go to their manor to dig for treasure. Let them eat shit!"

Sean laughed:

"For me, it’s really good news!"

"For these six gold bars, I need professionals to weigh them and evaluate the price. After all, the purity might not be the same as now."

Sean nodded, trusting Mr. John completely.

"By the way, I got a freight yard." Sean took out the paperwork, "You take a look, is this real?"

"From Robert’s place?" Mr. John was not surprised, he glanced at the documents and returned them to Sean, "It’s genuine."

"That’s good." Sean was just reporting to Mr. John, as he now owned property as well.

"Do you want a suggestion?" Mr. John said seriously to Sean.

"Please say it."

"Now that you have this paperwork, it’s best to take advantage and get a Green Card, even applying for Beautiful Country Citizenship..."

"Forget about citizenship!" Sean interrupted Mr. John’s words, "Green Card..."

"A Green Card is essential." John said, "If you want to operate a freight yard, your identity must be appropriate. Without a Green Card, you’ll encounter many troubles!"

Sean’s visa was for six months. If he wanted to continue staying in the Beautiful Country, he really needed a Green Card.

After thinking about it, Sean asked Mr. John:

"So, do you have a way to get one?"

"Of course." Mr. John pointed at the paperwork that Sean was holding and said, "Complete the transfer agreement, finalize the employees in the freight yard, prepare the documents, and it will be done quickly!"

"Then I’ll apply for a Green Card." Sean didn’t want any trouble in the future.

With that, the matter was settled.

After leaving Mr. John’s place, Sean found his own Freight Yard 77 as indicated by the address and number on the paperwork.

The freight yard was not big and could hold dozens of containers. If stacked, it should be able to hold even more.

However, the freight yard was currently empty, with just a dozen containers scattered around. There was a gantry crane, but it was very old and looked like a second-hand item.

However, the main reason for getting a freight yard was that it provides Sean’s Sky Eye an opportunity to operate.

At the same time, it was a place to settle the African-American workers such as Jason and his brothers. If used well, the African-American workers could play a significant role.

Sean knew that he had offended many people and was outnumbered. These African-American workers had simple minds, followed whoever was the boss, and obeyed the boss’s orders.

At certain times, such help could be useful!

At the port administration office, after completing the paperwork, Freight Yard 77 belonged to Sean in a short time.

Sean called Jason and told him to bring people over. Jason asked:

"Boss, where is the location? The people are ready."

"Freight Yard 77, I’m already here."

"Okay, we’ll be there!" Jason said excitedly, "I’ve called dozens of people, Boss. Is it enough?"

"It’s enough." Sean was a little surprised by Jason’s strong appeal!

Half an hour later, the African-American workers began to arrive in the freight yard.

Jason also arrived and introduced two people:

"Boss, this is Clark, this is Bondi Davis. These are their people."

He then told Bondi and Clark:

"This is our Boss! He bought this freight yard for us! Don’t say I didn’t take you guys to make money!

Of course, there’s money to be made working with the Boss, provided that you must listen to the Boss. If there are any lazy, disobedient or dishonest workers, don’t blame me for not being polite!"

Sean secretly enjoyed it. Jason said everything that needed to be said, so Sean just needed to play the good guy.

He took out a stack of US dollars prepared in advance and handed it to Jason:

"Since everyone is here, you are responsible for registering the personnel. The main tasks will be managed by you three.

Jason is responsible for finding cargo sources and printing promotional flyers, promoting our freight yard. Bondi, your people are responsible for transporting containers.

Clark, your people are responsible for security, cleaning, assisting cargo owners, and contacting truck drivers.

Your positions are not fixed. If there is a need to swap, I will notify you."

Sean handed the money to Jason, and didn’t bother with the rest of the matter much.

He didn’t understand, so he let these African-American workers sort it out. He never expected to make money from it anyway.

As Jason distributed the money, he exclaimed:

"Let me make the rules clear, you cannot tamper with the cargo owner’s containers! There must be someone patrolling every day, and those who patrol will get extra money..."

Sean listened and thought it sounded quite professional.

Of course, it would be best to hire a professional to manage the freight yard.

This matter needed to be arranged through Mr. John.

Sean handed the key to Jason, telling him to make a few more copies. Then he instructed him to assign someone who was educated, detail-oriented, and could keep records to register the entry and exit of the warehouse.

Jason slapped his chest and promised there would be no problem.

Sean then pulled him aside and whispered:

"You can find more containers that have not been rented for over half a year. We can specialize in container and container bidding in our freight yard..."

Jason’s eyes lit up!

This was a great idea!

Following Sean, he had seen too many containers valued at just hundreds of dollars being auctioned for thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars.

If he could really get a batch of such containers at a low price and organize a dedicated container auction, wouldn’t that be a big profit?

As for the treasure hunters being able to profit or not, it didn’t matter. As long as the auction price for his side was higher than the purchase price, then there was business to be done!

Sean had the same idea.

With the rise of short videos, more and more people have become aware of container auctions, and many people have clipped videos of treasure hunters making or even making big profits.

This could easily attract newcomers.

Why not get involved?
