However, what Lip said was accurate to the point of 4999 yuan and 5999 yuan, which didn't sound like a fake.

As for the black market price of more than 6,000 and more than 8,000, Jim, who understands the temperament of the Chinese, can also understand.

There is an old Chinese saying: Rare things are expensive!

Although the iPhone 4 has been put on sale in China, there are very few shipments, and there is simply not enough to buy, and savvy Chinese scalpers will naturally not miss this business opportunity.

If what Lip said was true, then Jim could take advantage of it now!

Just like Lip imagined, Jim carried an iPhone 4 from the United States to China through a tour group, and only brought a dozen or so at a time, and he could earn thousands of dollars, which was converted into yuan, which is tens of thousands of yuan!

Jim is now working as a black tour guide, and during the summer tourist season, he can earn thousands of dollars a month, and in the winter tourist off-season, he can only earn one or two thousand dollars, barely making ends meet.

If this business starts, he can earn hundreds of thousands of yuan more a year!

This is no small temptation for Jim!

Seeing the uncertain look on Jim's face, Lip was sure that he was in the trap and said with a smile, "This business can be done!"

"This ...... Are you telling the truth?" finally confirmed Jim.

"You can ask your acquaintances in China!" Mr. Lip said.

Even if Lip hadn't said that, Jim would have done it back.

Seeing Lip's calm expression, Jim already believed him in his heart, because when they first met, Lip didn't lie to his position - lied to him on this, and Lip wouldn't get any good.

"What is your purpose in telling me this?" Jim, of course, would not have thought that Lip was doing good deeds and introducing him to a good business for no reason, and there must have been a purpose for him.

"If you are willing to do this business, I hope to be one of your suppliers, my ability is limited, the supply is not much, I will give you twenty mobile phones every month, you buy them according to the market price, increase the price by fifty dollars, and let me take the opportunity to make a little money!" Lip said his purpose.

"It's that simple?" asked Jim.

"It's that simple!" Lip replied with a smile.

"If this business can be done, I can take it from you, but only for twenty dollars!" said Jim.

"Fifty dollars!" Lip insisted, "I'll tell you the truth, I'm only seventeen years old now, but next year I'm going to study economics at the University of Chicago!

"Fifty yuan more, I don't want much! You're making a lot of money!"

"Moreover, I don't plan to do this business for long, and soon I will have more profitable business to do! If you accept my conditions, then I can take you to play again if there is a suitable opportunity in the future!"

"If your eyes are only on these dozens of dollars, if I don't say what I said today, we haven't met today! You can do this business yourself, I will take a little more trouble and then find another partner!"

"You're only seventeen?" asked Jim.

"Yes!" replied Lip.

"You're going to the University of Chicago next year?" asked Jim.

"That's right!" replied Lip.

Jim has been in Chicago for seven or eight years, and he has naturally heard of the University of Chicago, which is not far south of Chinatown, and knows that it is a famous university in the United States, and economics is its strongest discipline, not only in the United States, but also in the world.

If Lip is really going to study economics at the University of Chicago next year, as he said, it would not be an exaggeration to describe him as a "genius".

For a few thousand dollars, making friends with a genius American is something that Jim doesn't need to think too much about!

What's more, this money is still earned with the ideas that Lip gave him.

And, just like Lip said, he can come up with such an idea to make quick money now, and he may not be able to think of other more and better ideas to make money in the future, if Jim can have a good relationship with him, Lip will give him a casual guide in the future, and it will be enough for him to earn!

Jim was smuggled in the United States for more than ten years, and he was able to get to the point where he is today, Jim is not the kind of person who follows the old ways and is short-sighted, but he is more daring to fight - otherwise he would not have dared to smuggle from China to the United States for more than 20 days in a container.

Jim's personality is also more bold and atmospheric, otherwise in Chicago's Chinatown, he wouldn't be so open!

"Actually, you don't have to worry about anything, even if I'm lying to you now, I can only cheat you for a year at most, and you will lose a few thousand dollars at most this year, but during this period, you will earn more - these thousands of dollars can make you recognize a person clearly, I think it is very worthwhile!" Lip saw that Jim was still a little hesitant, and added a little more strength.

"But if you choose to trust me, you'll be rewarded with more than a few thousand dollars in the future!"

"You're right! It's just a few thousand dollars, and I can afford to gamble!" Jim was persuaded by Lip to make up his mind!

"Good cooperation, then!" Lip stood up and solemnly extended his hand to Jim.

"Great cooperation!" replied Jim.

"When do you expect the first shipment to go?" asked Lip.

"I'm going to have a tour from New York tomorrow, I'm going to be in Chicago for three days, and I'm back to China on the fourth day, and if that's true, then after four days, you'll be able to get the first shipment!" Jim said.

"Okay, then I'll send you at least ten iPhone 4s before then! I'm asking for cash to settle the bill!" Lip said.

"Cash......?" said Jim, hesitating.

"If you don't have that much money on hand, I can send a few less copies the first time! Cash settlement is not negotiable! How many can you afford?" Lip said.

"That'...... You can send me five 16G ones first! The first time you go to the goods, first small amount, try the water. Jim wasn't the kind of person with a lot of money, so he hesitated and said.

"Okay, then call in at that time!" said Lip.

"OK! call!" Jim replied.

The three of them walked out together, and before they could get out of the teahouse, Jim had already taken out his mobile phone, called a friend in China, and said in Mandarin with a Hokkien accent, "Akai, you can help me inquire about the current price of Apple mobile phones in China, including the official price and the black market price, and send me a detailed quotation! I will find a way to get a batch of Apple phones from the United States to go back." ”

I didn't know what was said on the other end of the phone, and Jim was overjoyed and said, "Really, great! Then let's partner up and him!"

From his words, Lip could tell that the matter was finalized.
