Of course, this bail bond system is friendly to the rich, but not to the poor.
What if a poor person can't afford to pay bail? Yes, he only needs to pay 10% of the total amount of bail to the guarantee brokerage company, and then the guarantee brokerage company is responsible for paying the bail on his behalf, but the 10% cannot be recovered. If the suspect runs away during this time, the financial guarantee company will hire a bounty hunter to hunt down the suspect.
In a situation like Nick's, the evidence is conclusive, and he can be directly convicted. However, under the judicial system of the Stars and Stripes, the sentence will not be pronounced directly, and the bail must be obtained. The police will try their best to make things bigger, which is the so-called small things----- as long as the police seriously investigate the evidence of Nick's crime, investigate whether Nick has criminal tools, whether he has any connections with other racists, and so on. Then the judiciary would not have pronounced the sentence right away. And this time is the time for Nick to pay bail and come out to Xiao Peng to withdraw the charge.
All in all, bail Kinnick is settled!
Nick is not stupid, anyway, this matter is solved by Xiao Peng in the end, and he doesn't want to go to prison by himself. Anyway, you have to lose money in the end, don't save that money, I saw him crying and saying with a sad face: "A thousand dollars, if it is more, you can call the police directly." ”
Xiao Peng smiled slightly: "I accept your apology, but everything we have here is a cash transaction, we don't support transfers, we don't support checks, okay, I want cash!"
The host Hamilton was speechless, isn't this what he just said? Xiao Peng is really fast learner!
"Nick, pay for it, take care of your stinky mouth!"
Xiao Peng took a stack of money and made a small fan to fan himself, how much he wanted to be angry, but there was no way for Nick to itch the roots of his teeth in the back, and the money in Xiao Peng's hand was the compensation he got from Nick.
Martin said, "Xiao, are you going to be angry with Nick?"
Xiao Peng smiled: "I just like this kind of way they hate me and hate me so much that the roots of their teeth itch but they can't do anything about me." ”
Martin laughed too: "You really look like when I was younger. It's good to be young. ”
Xiao Peng shrugged: "Man, if you are not arrogant before the age of thirty, it is useless; ”
Mrs. Martin looked at Martin affectionately: "You are also young now. "Well, I've fed another mouthful of dog food.
Hamilton led a group of people to a warehouse, used hydraulic pliers to break the door lock, opened the roller shutter, and began to line up again to observe the contents of the warehouse. However, this warehouse is very disappointing.
The original owner of the warehouse was obviously a parent of a child, and the warehouse was full of children's items, full of children's dolls, toys, baby bottles, etc., and a children's car under a white cloth, with a handle exposed. Seeing this scene, everyone was not interested, and such a warehouse had no economic value at all.
Xiao Peng was holding his mobile phone to check the information, while Martin and Mrs. Martin were discussing: "There is an oven inside, which looks quite new." ”
"God knows if it's good to use, besides, even if it's good, it will sell for a few tens of dollars at most, which is not enough for the cleaning fee, and this warehouse has no economic value. ”
Xiao Peng put down his mobile phone and asked, "Old Martin, how much can you photograph such a warehouse?"
Martin laughed: "It's good that such a worthless warehouse doesn't go unauctioned, and the starting price is up to ten dollars." No one wants to do useless work, we are not here to help them clean up the warehouse, we are here to make money!"
Xiao Peng whispered: "If that's the case, you can take a picture." ”
Martin was stunned: "Xiao, that's all for nothing." It's time to help them clean up the warehouse. ”
Xiao Peng handed the phone to Martin: "That stroller is not simple. ”
Martin took the phone and saw that it was the introduction of a children's car, "4MOMS?"
Xiao Peng nodded: "You can think of this as the 'Transformer' in the children's car, this children's car can be folded electrically, and the cart can be automatically charged when it travels, and the excess electricity can also charge the mobile phone, this is the most popular 'ORIGAMI' in all children's cars in 4MOMS, priced at more than nine hundred US dollars, known as the world's first children's trolley that can charge mobile phones and calculate mileage, and can also be automatically folded by electricity." There is also a sensor system in the seat so that it does not fold automatically when there is a baby. If it's good, it's okay to sell it for a few hundred dollars, right? And there might be surprises inside?"
In fact, there may be a surprise in this warehouse, Xiao Peng has already found out, but he didn't say that the reason why Xiao Peng didn't want to shoot was to repay the Martin couple for their kindness. Of course, if they don't shoot it, Xiao Peng will definitely take pictures of this warehouse himself. Picking up such a thing as a leak is the most loving.
After everyone finished reading the contents of the warehouse, Hamilton looked sad: "Okay, the reserve price of this warehouse is ten dollars, is there anyone bidding?"
"Hamilton, don't be funny, what's the value of a warehouse like this? It's just an oven, I don't know if it's easy to use or not. Even if it works, I can sell it for fifty dollars? Are you asking us to work as coolies for you? We're not that stupid!" shouted someone in the crowd.
Hearing this, Hamilton also had a bitter face, didn't he understand such a thing?
"Eight dollars, does anyone still want this warehouse? You see, there's an oven in it, if it's easy to use, why don't you lose money?"
Martin thought for a moment: "Eight meters of gold, I'll take it." ”
"Hey, Martin, are you here to be a janitor?" someone shouted at Martin.
Martin smiled bitterly: "After running so far and running here, you can't go back empty-handed." Eight meters of gold, just when I bought a few Powerballs. ”
Powerball is a lottery game in the Stars and Stripes, is a lottery-lottery game, here is very well-known, this lottery features: the total prize money is high scary, but the odds of winning low scary: choose five numbers from 69 numbers, and then choose one more from 26 numbers, only 5 + 1 six numbers are all hit, in order to get the super jackpot. The difficulty is quite high.
However, the total prize money of more than $500 million is still highly striking.
"Hey, Powerball isn't that easy, I'll get you a shovel broom in a moment and do your job as a cleaner." Martin didn't get angry when he heard this, and directly locked the door. Wait for the final checkout to unbox.
After the next three warehouses were opened, none of them were unsold, but they all belonged to the kind of warehouses where all valuable items could be seen at a glance, and one warehouse had some old household appliances in it, and one hundred and eighty dollars was taken by a black woman, which should be a poor family living nearby, to see if they could find some suitable items.
Second-hand cheap home appliances like this, let's not talk about whether they are easy to use. Even if it is easy to use, it is at most four or five hundred dollars to sell to thrift dealers, if it is not easy to use, then there will only be tears left, and because of this, those professional Taobao people have no bid, and the auction items of electrical appliances often belong to the lots they do not touch----- the risk is too great!
And I have to be tired of cleaning here all day, so I might as well look for another warehouse for auctions. However, Xiao Peng feels that it is unlikely that these old household appliances will be broken, if a single household appliance may be broken, so many different kinds of household appliances are placed here, and the biggest possibility is that a batch of household appliances have been replaced at home.
The next warehouse is the same, it is full of clothes and shoes, both men and women, Xiao Peng took a look, there are no big brands of clothing, they are all common casual clothes for ordinary people. However, the competition is very fierce, and the price increase is very low, with a reserve price of ten dollars, a price increase of five meters of gold and five meters of gold, many people participate in the competition, and finally eighty dollars are auctioned off by a black man.
Xiao Peng asked Martin curiously: "This second-hand clothes and the like are also available in the stars and stripes? I don't believe that he took so many pictures of clothes for himself to wear." ”
Martin explains: "We have a very open mind about second-hand items, and almost everything is available on the second-hand market. There are many second-hand chain stores in the Stars and Stripes, such as Godill, there are tens of thousands of such stores in our place, just listen to the name, this is a charity, the clothes in it are donated by believers, there are old clothes and new clothes, as long as you are willing to shop, you can also find good goods in it, and Seatate Sale, that is also similar to a kind of auction, that is, the family members auction the belongings of the deceased, what furniture and old books, etc., we Taobao people sometimes go to such a place to see if we can auction good things. ”
Xiao Peng was puzzled: "Did he make a profit by buying these clothes and shoes for 80 US dollars? ”
Martin shook his head: "Don't you see that all the Taobao people have no bids? If there are no luxury brands, these clothes can be sold for a hundred and fifty dollars at most when they are sent to second-hand stores, and if they can't make money, there are only a few possibilities for these people to participate in the auction, either they open their own second-hand stores, or they will be sold one by one in the slums." In this way, you can make more money, and leave what you can't sell for your family to wear. ”
Xiao Peng nodded after hearing this.
The rich have their way of life, and the poor have their way of life. It seems that the economy of the Stars and Stripes is so good, but the money of the Stars and Stripes is in the hands of those at the top of the pyramid, and the top 1 thousandth rich person in the United States actually controls 20% of the country's economy, so the gap between the rich and the poor in the Stars and Stripes is more serious than that in China. When you get to the slums here, you will know what hell is. It may be an exaggeration, but it's also a close place to hell.
The competition in the fifth warehouse is the most fierce, there are not many things in this warehouse, but in the most conspicuous place on the wall, there is an AR-15, that is, the civilian version of the M-16 rifle! Martin followed the price and stopped following the 500 meters of gold, but the Indian Sean, as if he was determined to win, photographed the gun for 1,100 dollars.
Xiao Peng didn't understand: "Martin, why don't you follow the shooting when you get out of five hundred, but Sean is willing to pay so much money?"
Martin explains: "A new AR-15 gun costs $800. Bidding at a price of more than 400 is actually not very profitable. ”
Xiao Peng was stunned: "Then how could he take out 1,100 US dollars? Isn't he losing money?"
Martin said: "He is gambling, I want to see if there are accessories and bullets in the warehouse, if there is, he should be profitable, AR-15 eight hundred dollars, but if you add accessories, what rails, butts, scopes, triggers, retainers, handles, etc. have different price configurations, if the full set is better, the price may reach three thousand dollars, the trigger and handle of this gun are obviously high-end goods, but nothing else can be seen, so the gambling is very big, the most critical, there are bullets." ”
"Bullets, are bullets expensive?" Xiao Peng was puzzled.
Martin said: "Of course, by the way, do you know? Almost all the bullets sold by our Stars and Stripes are made by you Huaxia, no wonder you Huaxia people are rich and really good at doing business." Haha, Xiao, you may not know when you first came to the Stars and Stripes Country, although guns are easy to buy here, but not everyone can afford to play, the guns themselves are not expensive, but bullets are expensive to death. Buy a cheap Chinese gun with us, a hundred dollars is enough, but the price of bullets varies greatly. Even the cheapest bullets cost close to a dollar, and about the same cost $3-5 a round. The most expensive is tens of dollars a shot, so if you want to play with guns, ordinary people really can't afford to play. Hundreds of dollars are gone in a few seconds. So he is betting on whether there are bullets, if there are hundreds of bullets, he will make a lot of money, but ordinary people don't gamble like this, the character of the aborigines is like this, dare to gamble. ”
Xiao Peng nodded after hearing this, indicating understanding. We usually watch movies, and we often see such a scene, the protagonist holds the submachine gun in his hand and the automatic rifle is non-stop, but the real situation is that most submachine guns will use up the entire magazine in less than three seconds. It's impossible to sweep it for a long time like in the movie。。。。。。
After listening to Martin's words, Xiao Peng put the idea clone in the warehouse and looked for it, okay, Sean must not lose money, there are five boxes of bullets in the box, each box of 100 rounds, and an optical sight, Sean has made a lot of money this time.
Xiao Peng gave a thumbs up to Sean, signaling that he was lucky. Sean thought it was to celebrate his winning bid, but he didn't think much about it, and also gave Xiao Peng a thumbs up. Running to lock the iron door, everyone came to the last warehouse together.
When the door opened, everyone saw what was in the warehouse, and then 。。。。。。 Everyone sighed together, and Martin shook his head: "That's all for this auction." ”
Also with a bitter face was the auctioneer Hamilton: "Does anyone in this warehouse have a bid for either five dollars, a reserve price of five dollars, and a bid?"
