Chapter 720 - Parting Gift
No wonder so many people in the country of stars and stripes like to ride heavy motorcycles, the feeling of riding a motorcycle is completely different from the feeling of driving, sitting in a car, people are just confined to a small space, missing the scenery outside the car, and riding a motorcycle is different, there is no window glass in front of you to block your view, Xiao Peng feels that he is closely integrated with nature, the wind blows by, he is in the scenery, not the audience, can feel the immersive shock, the freedom of chasing the wind.
After a few laps, Xiao Peng completely liked this feeling, the roar of the engine became a wonderful movement in Xiao Peng's ears, well, it is said that men like two kinds of sounds the most, one is the sound of women when they pop, and the other is the roar of the engine, there is no doubt that the roar of the motorcycle engine is more direct and rough than the sound of the car engine, Xiao Peng loves this sound to death.
Riding the motorcycle back to Martin, Xiao Peng stopped the car and threw the key to Martin: "This car is so enjoyable." ”
But he glanced at Sean and threw the key back to Xiao Peng: "Xiao, since you like this car, this car is yours from now on." ”
"What's so embarrassing about that? Sean, I can't accept such an expensive gift. Xiao Peng waved his hand and refused.
For Xiao Peng, this big chief is actually not expensive, that is, 18,000 US dollars, if Xiao Peng likes it, he can buy a bunch of them to run on the road, a 'S' type for a while, and a 'B' type for a while.
But for Martin and Sean, it's different.
It's a new car, and it's no problem to sell it for $15,000, and the two of them can split a lot of money. Looking at Xiao Peng's expression, Martin smiled: "Actually, this is the case, we have contacted the buyers of the mobile phone cases, and they are willing to buy this batch of mobile phone cases at a price of 47 US dollars each." Counting this motorcycle, you should get more than $12,000 according to the distribution ratio we agreed on in advance. ”
"But. Sean took over and said, "If it weren't for you, Martin and I wouldn't have gotten this income at all." When we saw this motorcycle, we decided to give you this car as a gift, so we went to take you to learn the driver's license. ”
Martin continued: "Yes, we in the Stars and Stripes are all about 'favors are favors, business is business', but there are many things that money can't buy, like ------ our friendship! We know you're still on the road, so it's better to have a motorcycle than to hitchhike around. And seeing that you drive this car very easily, it feels like this car was designed for you. ”
Hearing what they all said, Xiao Peng didn't shirk: "Indeed, I feel the same way! Okay, I won't be polite to you, I love this car so much!"
Xiao Peng is not tall, but he has long legs. Although this Indian chief is very heavy, it is actually not very tall, and Xiao Peng feels just right to sit on it.
Martin took out two leather fringed leather saddle bags in the same color as the seat and installed them on both sides of the rear wheel, which felt particularly retro. The rear passenger backrest was installed for Xiao Peng. After doing all this, Martin said: "Xiao, this is a really good car, 46mm fork shock absorption, LED lights throughout the car, electronically adjustable automatic windshield, 10-stage adjustable heating handle, 200-watt audio and Bluetooth equipment, and two-stage heated seats." You'll have a lot easier with this thing on your way!"
Xiao Peng looked at Martin and Sean: "Martin, Sean, I don't know what to say, thank you." ”
Martin and Sean waved their hands: "Don't be so polite, we have also learned a lot from you in these two Taobao, which will help us in the future." ”
Xiao Peng was ashamed when he heard this, and he knew that he should be serious when he was talking nonsense just now。。。。。。
Sean said: "Xiao, I really want to talk to you again, but the customer over there asked me to send the phone case quickly, and I have found a buyer for the gun, so I won't give it to you." We keep in touch on the phone, if you find something in the future, you don't know how to sell it, you can contact the association directly, and let them be responsible for finding you a buyer, but those vampires will take 10% of your commission! Of course, you can also find me, we are friends, 5% commission I will find you the best buyer!"
Xiao Peng smiled: "No problem, I will call you first when the time comes!" This is the standard American style of 'favor is favor, business is business'.
When Sean and Hoddeson left, they took a lot of abalone, and yesterday they only ate half of it, and today they made a lot of cheese baked abalone, but this time it was not made by Mrs. Martin, but by Emilia, but it was done in a good way, and the two of them took it on the road to eat.
After Xiao Peng and the four of them had a comfortable meal, Martin was about to say goodbye, he was going to San Francisco, when Mrs. Martin put the Quart doll and the stroller on the Amazon, not long after, someone called Mrs. Martin directly, what made people speechless was that the one who was looking for them was the original owner of the toy!
That's a lover of Quit dolls, don't underestimate these doll collectors, almost all of them are rich people, and the money spent on collecting dolls is not much less than the money spent on collecting luxury cars. is like the famous Barbie doll, the diamond Barbie that cooperated with De Beers back then, and one was 85,000 US dollars. Someone has made statistics, not counting those commemorative Barbie dolls, if someone wants to buy all the ordinary Barbie dolls sold by the Barbie company every year, it will cost at least 30,000 to 50,000 US dollars a year. Kindness. The Barbie Company is more than 50 years old。。。。。。 Many early dolls have become sky-high!
When the Quette doll lover found out that his precious Jones doll was missing, he felt like crazy, and he couldn't find it when he searched the house, so he had to go online to find out if anyone was selling it, and when he found out that there was Mrs. Martin's sale information, he contacted Mrs. Martin for the first time, and when he asked Mrs. Martin about the origin of the doll, Mrs. Martin did not hide him, only to find out that this warehouse was his, when he moved, this warehouse directly let him abandon, but he didn't expect his precious treasure to be in it. So he offered a high price and asked to hurry up and trade. Because his wife is pregnant again, it's okay now, and the stroller is also needed. So Martin is leaving too.
The Martins were about to say goodbye to Xiao Peng, but Xiao Peng stopped them: "Martin, I said I was going to surprise you, you haven't forgotten, have you?"
Martin looked at Xiao Peng: "Xiao, you have surprised us enough." ”
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "I want to give you a surprise that you will never forget me for the rest of your life." ”
Martin shook his head with a smile and said, "Xiao, believe me, I will never forget you for the rest of my life now." ”
After Xiao Peng laughed, he took out a long box from his pocket, and when he opened it, there were silver needles inside, Martin looked at it and asked puzzledly: "The silver you asked Sean for is made into silver needles like this?"
Xiao Peng pretended to be mysterious: "Martin, have you heard of Huaxia acupuncture?"
Martin nodded: "I know, I also did acupuncture when I was in San Francisco, it's your Chinese medical skills, isn't it? What are you doing with this silver needle? Are you an acupuncturist?"
It's still a little embarrassing to say, after the plastic surgery country applied for the World Heritage of traditional Chinese medicine, the Chinese people were extremely indignant, saying that people are not good or bad, but calm down and think about it, in China, is Chinese medicine still valued?
Traditional Chinese medicine is different from Western medicine, Western medicine can practice medicine after studying in school for a few years and then going to the hospital for a few years of internship, but what about traditional Chinese medicine?
And this has led to the decline of traditional Chinese medicine, just like Chinese football, no one wants to let their children engage in traditional Chinese medicine, how good is it to learn Western medicine? It wasn't until Chinese medicine was robbed by the plastic surgery country that it suddenly dawned on me, oh, Chinese medicine is a Chinese thing. Then he scolded on the Internet. But when you think about it, isn't the reason for this situation the Chinese themselves?
The status of traditional Chinese medicine in China is so embarrassing, let alone in developed countries?
For example, in the Stars and Stripes country, there is no 'TCM license' at all, or in other words, there is no TCM physician at all. However, in the Stars and Stripes, there is a 'TCM acupuncturist license'. And not all states allow acupuncturists to exist, it also depends on local regulations.
Moreover, all Chinese medicines and proprietary Chinese medicines sold in the Stars and Stripes are not approved by the Food and Drug Administration of the Stars and Stripes, so in the Stars and Stripes, Chinese medicines are not considered medicines, but are sold in the name of food supplements. This means that on the label of any Chinese medicine in the Stars and Stripes, there will be no indication of the efficacy of the drug and what diseases it can cure. If it is noted, it will be done directly in a lawsuit, because it has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration at all, how dare you say that it can cure the disease?
However, in Africa, traditional Chinese medicine is quite popular, on the one hand, because of domestic aid to Africa, combined with the lack of medical treatment in Africa, the practicality of traditional Chinese medicine is indeed high.
Compared with all aspects of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture is the most popular in developed countries. Of course, it is not easy to earn this money, you must first get a certificate, and then you have to have a green card.
All acupuncturists who apply for a license must pass the NCCAOM special examination, and the language barrier is enough to cause headaches, various professional terms, and acupuncture point abbreviations. If a licensed acupuncturist is required to complete a certain number of courses in acupuncture and Oriental medicine every four years for the license to remain valid.
Domestic acupuncturists want to go to the Stars and Stripes to make money? To be honest, it is not as simple as the people of the Stars and Stripes to learn acupuncture to make money.
Xiao Peng nodded, and acquiesced: "Martin, Mrs. Martin, the two of you are in the car all day, and you are inevitably a little tired, how about letting me give you an acupuncture moxibustion? ”
Xiao Peng is not stupid, he doesn't say that he can cure diseases.
Stars and Stripes, if you dare to claim that you can cure diseases but can't get medical qualifications, you can be arrested and sentenced.
No matter how good the relationship between Xiao Peng and Martin is, he can't directly say his purpose, isn't it true that people are separated from their stomachs? If it's acupuncture, it's easy to say, it's true that Xiao Peng doesn't have an acupuncturist license, but he doesn't have two needles and not deep piercing, Xiao Peng said that this is his own joke, who can do anything to him? Mrs. Martin looked a little nervous, how could she not be afraid when she saw such a long silver needle in Xiao Peng's hand? Martin was relatively better, but he was a little questioned: "Xiao, why are the needles you use so thick? Don't you want to pierce them all?"
Xiao Peng shook his head: "Of course not, Martin, how about you try it first?"
Martin said: "Okay, I'll come first, my dear, don't underestimate this acupuncture, it's very expensive, and it costs a few hundred dollars to get a prick." Let's enjoy it today!"
Xiao Peng nodded and motioned for Martin to lift his shirt.
After Martin did so, Xiao Peng directly pierced three silver needles into his waist, taking this opportunity to inject magic power into Martin's body and treat him.
"Wow, Shaw, it's not a delusion! There's a current of heat flowing through me! Oh God, it's so comfortable!" exclaimed Martin.
Xiao Peng shrugged: "You hold this position for ten minutes, Mrs. Martin, it's your turn." ”
Mrs. Martin was still a little nervous, but Martin said, "Honey, let Xiao try it for you, that feels really great, oh my God." ”
Mrs. Martin was also a little moved after hearing this, and lay down in the carriage, Xiao Peng pierced her with a silver needle, and used magic power to repair her. Not long after the silver needle was pierced, Mrs. Martin had a shocked expression.
Xiao Peng did all this and came to Emilia's side, Emilia looked at Martin and his wife: "Acupuncture is really so magical?"
Xiao Peng nodded: "Of course, there is a reason why something can be inherited for thousands of years." ”
Emilia was very curious about this, and asked a lot of questions, Xiao Peng couldn't tell clearly, he couldn't say that he was witchcraft, right? Xiao Peng was also smart, and he had a good nonsense with Amilia, from the acupuncture point to the thirty-six and seventy-two of Tiangang, and he didn't know what he was talking about, but fortunately, when the time came, Xiao Peng excused himself to take off the silver needles on the two of them, which got rid of Emilia's curious baby.
After Martin and Mrs. Martin finished acupuncture, their faces were obviously a little ruddy, but Martin looked a little embarrassed, Xiao Peng looked down and looked, good guy, this is a tent in the crotch of his pants! On a hot day, Martin was wearing a pair of beach pants, and the tent was very tall, Martin looked at Mrs. Martin excitedly, and Mrs. Martin lowered her head and noticed this change in Martin, but she was also shy.
The most embarrassing thing is Emilia, who is at a loss on the side, and quickly turns her head over, out of sight and out of mind, isn't it?
Xiao Peng was happy, there is a word in Huaxia that is most appropriate to describe Martin's current state:
It's not serious!
