Chapter 14: You're Gallagher!

Lip smiled and waved goodbye to Jim, receiving an enthusiastic response.

Lip led Carl across the street to the library on the other side and beckoned Debbie to come out.

Carl asked Lip, "What you just told the yellow-skinned monkey is true?"

"Of course!" said Lip with a smile, "I'm idle, why would I lie to him?"

"Why don't you do it yourself when you have come up with such a good way to make money?" asked Carl again.

"Although I came up with the solution, but I can't get the phone to China, even if I get the phone to China, there is no way to sell it! I can only find someone to cooperate, Jim is not bad, at least he is willing to accept my conditions, let me make a little money. Lip said.

"I didn't expect to succeed the first time, and I plan to find a few more people to give it a try!

Carl nodded, no longer dwelling on the question, and instead asked, "Are you really going to the University of Chicago?"

"Yes!" Lip glanced at Carl, "Look, can I get in?"

"You can!" said Carl.

"Thank you!" Lip said, "I'm going to get five iPhone 4s in the next three days, can you get me one?

"Really?" Karl was interested when he heard that he could make money.

"Pay in one hand and deliver in the other!" Lip said.

"It's a deal!" Karl reached out and slapped his hand at Lip.

Debbie came out with Liam in her arms, and Lip took Liam from her hand, threw two handfuls into the air, and said, "Go home!"

Amusing Liam Haha, Debbie and Carl laugh all the way and follow Lip home.

Back on Wallace North Street, Carl said hello to Lip and ran out to get his phone.

Although Carl is only more than nine years old, as a breed of the Gallagher family, the genes that he was abducted and stolen are deeply rooted in the bone marrow, so he naturally has his own way to get a mobile phone.

Lip asks Debbie to look after Liam at home, and instead of going home, he goes to a nearby neighborhood to find a classmate named Victor.

As far as Lip knows, Victor is a computer whiz, and Lip came to him to ask some questions about flashing his computer.

The price of the iPhone 4 bare metal is 499 yuan for 16G, and the price of the contract machine is only 199 yuan, a difference of 300 yuan in the middle! If Lip can get rid of the communication restrictions of the contract machine and sell the contract machine at the price of the bare metal, it will make more than 50 yuan.

When he came to Victor's house, Lip knocked on the door, and it was Victor's mother, Mrs. Garcia, Ripple said hello, "Hello, I'm Lip, Victor's classmate, is Victor at home?"

"In the basement!" said Mrs. Garcia.

Open the door and let Lip in.

Lip followed Mrs. Garcia's instructions and pulled open the basement cover, and down the stairs to find Victor sitting in front of his computer.

Victor's computer was not a store-bought machine, but assembled himself, with parts scattered across a table.

Lip didn't walk over and greeted Victor from a distance, "Hey, Victor!"

Victor raised his head, glanced at Lip, raised his eyebrows in confusion, and then looked at Lip before recognizing him, and said, "You're Lip, Lip Gallagher!"

"Yes, it's me!are you alright?" said Lip first.

"What's the matter with me?" said Victor.

"I'm here to ask you, is there a way to break the restrictions on the carriers in the iPhone 4's contract phone? Do you know the iPhone 4?" Lip didn't say anything polite to him, and directly explained his intentions.

"Of course, I know about the iPhone 4, and I'm trying to get one to play with Apple's new smartphone!" Victor said.

"Do you know the price difference between its bare metal and contract machines?" asked Lip.

Victor lowered his head and crackled a few times on the keyboard, glanced at the computer screen, and a surprised expression appeared on his face, "Wow!

"So, can you write a flashing software that cracks the limitations of its contract machine?" Lip confirmed.

Victor lowered his head again, crackled and tapped on the keyboard for a while, figured out the restrictions on the iPhone 4 contract machine, and said confidently, "This is not difficult for me!"

"Okay! Then after you write this program, I'll buy a copy, and I can give it a hundred! Or a thousand, and you sell me the rights to this program! Which one do you choose?" said Lip.

"Hmm......" Victor muttered, "I'm going to keep the copyright to the program myself!"

"Wise choice!" Able to easily break the contract restrictions of major telecom companies, Victor is not stupid, naturally able to distinguish what is a chicken and what is an egg, Lip is not surprised by his choice, "How long will it take you to write this program well?"

"It's fast to write a program, but I need a contract machine to check the effectiveness of the program!" Victor said.

"Understood! I'll get a contract machine now, see you later!" said Lip, raising his chin at Victor and walking up the stairs.

Coming out of Victor's house, Lip walked around the streets, but didn't meet anyone he was looking for, and went to the bar on the street, and finally found it at the Resurrection Bar.

"Hey, Benson!" Lip walked over to say hello.

Benson looked up, glanced at Lip, took a sip from his glass, burped, and said with drunken eyes, "Gallagher boy?"

Benson is known to Lip, the most powerful thief in the neighborhood, Lip didn't give him nonsense, and directly explained his intentions, "Listen Benson, I need an iPhone 4 contract machine, do you know him?"

"Of course! of course, I know the iPhone 4. When Benson heard that there was business, the feigned drunkenness in his eyes was swept away and brightened.

"Get me a contract machine, it's usually in the hands of business people, and make no mistake, I'm willing to pay a hundred dollars for it!" Lip said.

"You're not kidding me! I bought a hundred and fifty dollars for the iPhone 4 I got last time!" Benson said.

"Don't come with me, Benson! One hundred dollars, I need to get it before ten o'clock tonight, it's expired! This is my mobile phone number, and you can get it and call me." Lip said.

"Okay! Okay! You're worthy of the Gallagher family!" Benson couldn't blackmail, so he could only compromise, got up and walked out, "Let's get to work!"

Lip watched him leave, a smile on his lips.

After being busy for most of the day, I finally straightened everything out, and then all I had left was to sit and wait for the money to be collected.

The economic crisis that had plagued him for so many days finally showed signs of temporary relief.
