Chapter 16: Chaotic Timeline

In the case of these two days, Lip experienced a life that he had never experienced before!

Walking on the edge of the law, but with ease, this feeling makes Lip quite a bit of a taste.

Of the five mobile phones agreed with Jim for the first batch, Lip has now got three, and there are still two missing.

Lip found Karen and said to her, "Do you want to make a little money, invest 500 yuan, it only takes one day, and you can earn 10%!"

Although Karen also lives in this neighborhood, her family is much better than the Gallagher family, and she can be regarded as a small middle class.

Although Karen is not rich, she also has a few hundred dollars in savings, and when she heard Lip say this, she happily took out five hundred dollars.

Lip asked her to find a friend, offer the same terms, and successfully raise money for the last mobile phone.

Five mobile phones arrived, and Lip was afraid of long nights and dreams, so he called Jim directly and made an appointment with the delivery location.

Jim has not been idle in the past two days, while leading the group, while planning to let the tour group help him bring the goods, the goods channel has been opened by him, and the shipping channel has also found a partner.

Therefore, after meeting with Lip at the delivery location, he checked the five mobile phones that Lip had brought over, and found that there were no hidden dangers, so he happily gave Lip the agreed amount of money - five mobile phones, four 16G, and one 32G, which is considered a price increase of 50 yuan each, a total of 2,845 yuan.

After opening up the channel for bringing goods, the bright prospect of making money was in front of Jim's eyes, which made him become generous, and gave Lip 2,850 yuan without letting him change.

These five mobile phones were brought back to China, Jim was able to earn at least 1,500 US dollars, and he brought more than these five goods this time, Jim also used his own means to get a few new iPhone 4s, ready to get back to China to pass off as new phones.

It's just that Jim didn't think as thoughtfully as Lip, without those mobile phones with chargers and packaging, and it didn't look as high as the three that Lip brought.

However, with the urgency of Chinese fans' demand for the iPhone 4, those small sections are not too big a problem.

Even if ninety percent of the new iPhone 4s without chargers and boxes can't be sold at the highest price on the black market, which is slightly lower than the brand new phone, it is enough for Jim to make money!

Two thousand eight hundred and fifty yuan, deducting the one thousand and one hundred yuan that needs to be returned to Karen and her classmates, what fell into Lipp's hands is one thousand seven hundred and fifty yuan, and the cost he paid for this is only one hundred and eighty yuan, and the profit is as high as ten times!

At the time of delivery, it was agreed with Jim that the second shipment would be delivered in two weeks, and that time it would be ten.

Lip decided to put only two brand new iPhone 4s among the ten iPhone 4s, and the other eight were all from Benson, and this time the price of one was a little higher for Benson, 80 yuan.

Eight ninety percent of the new iPhone 4 in two weeks is not difficult for Benson, who has the most technology in the Southern District.

In fact, at the time of delivery, Benson exceeded the quota again, bringing a total of fifteen copies, all of which were eaten by Lip.

The second delivery to Jim, ten mobile phones, seven of which were 16G, three of which were 32G, and five thousand eight hundred yuan were recovered!

The cost paid by Lip this time is a total of 2,280 yuan, and he still has seven mobile phones in his hand, and he can recover 3,850 yuan next time.

In other words, with these two transactions, Lip's net income can reach 8,000 US dollars!

It's as much as the monthly income of the average middle-class family in the United States!

If this operation continues, Lip's net income every month in the future will not be lower than this amount!

However, after getting the 5,800 dollars for the second delivery to Jim, Lip stopped receiving the goods from Benson.

Although Benson is the most skilled thief in the neighborhood, he often walks by the river, how can he not get his shoes wet? There will always be a day when he will be caught, if Lip and his trade continue, the number reaches a certain amount, in the future, Benson will be caught, if he bites him out, Lip's loss will be great!

Although the probability of this happening is not high, Lip, who has a great future, wants to nip in the bud any signs that may threaten his future.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall!

In the future, Lip decided to use half of the original new machine, half of the contract machine to flash the machine, and no longer engage in 16G, 32G different versions, unified use of 16G, easy to settle accounts.

In this way, by delivering goods twice a month and delivering 10 mobile phones each time, Lip can have a net income of 2,000 US dollars a month, although the income is much lower than the first month, but the risk is also minimized!

Moreover, after completing the second deal with Jim, Lip took the medicine according to the prescription and found two more partners in Chinatown, and the terms of cooperation were the same as Jim's.

In this way, Lip's net income for the next month reached $6,000.

The monthly salary of $6,000 should be considered a relatively high income in the United States, according to statistics, the average monthly salary in the United States in 2017 is $4,000, and it is also before taxes.

Lip's current income does not have to pay taxes, and if it is calculated after tax, his monthly income can be counted as more than 10,000!

With a monthly salary of more than 10,000 yuan before tax, it should be considered a wealthy class in the United States, and one of the best professions in the United States - a doctor, the income is just like this.

So, by 2011, Lip's income had reached the average of the wealthy in the United States, and if he wanted to, he could greatly improve the living conditions of the Gallagher family.

However, Lip did not take this situation to anyone, only slightly increased the cost of living to Fiona, to a hundred dollars a week.

Lip did this with many considerations, the most important of which was that in the United States, personal property and family property are very clearly divided, and Lip is not yet an adult, and if he moves out as an adult, he can completely ignore the rest of the Gallagher family.

Lip certainly doesn't really leave his siblings alone, but he doesn't want to change their lives too soon.

Lip is still unsure of how his rebirth will affect the plot of "Shameless".

And, for him, there's a lot more.

The changes in the plot of Ian, Debbie, and Carl didn't really begin until the fourth season.

Ian is in the fourth season, after pretending to be Lip to join the army, bipolar disorder broke out, and the direction of life deviated from the normal track;

Carl's change happened much later, and it wasn't until season five that his criminal career really began and ended up in juvenile prison.

The timeline of "Shameless" is very confusing, according to the time in the series, the first season should start in the autumn and winter of 2010, the second and third seasons are in the summer of 2011, the fourth season is the winter of 2011, and the fifth season is the summer of 2012.

But in fact, at the beginning of the first season, Debbie had just celebrated her tenth birthday, and by the fourth season, which is a year after the series, she was already thirteen years old!
