Hans seized the time to dispose of the car badge and the umbrella, and on Monday he flew to Los Angeles with Li Du and Da Ao to sell the car badge.

"Who have you contacted, and why are you so far away?" asked Li Du.

Hans said: "A car collector, only he is willing to accept this black goods, this car logo cannot be sold in the flagpole market, it is lost in the flagpole market." ”

Li Du nodded and said, "Since it's a black product, do you want to discount the price?"

Hans said: "It depends on our negotiation skills, but now this logo is not a black product, I have already whitewashed it." ”

Hearing this, Li Du became interested and asked, "How did you clear your name?"

Hans said: "Do you think that the car logo has not been dealt with in the past few days, because Boss Fu can't sell it or is lazy? No, Boss Fu is operating this. ”

"Every Rolls-Royce logo has a number given by Polycast-Limited in Southampton, England, which can be found on the official website. ”

"I found a car accident scrapped Rolls-Royce information, found the number of the car mark on it, and then found someone to polish our car logo. ”

Speaking of this, he spread his hands and said, "So, its identity has been whitewashed, but for the sake of safety, it is better to sell it far away." ”

There are direct flights from Flagpole City to Los Angeles, which is shining in the city of angels, and they get off the plane and take a taxi to the downtown area.

For decades, Los Angeles' historic core, major business districts, and boroughs were concentrated in the heart of the city, and at night and on weekends, it became empty.

This has now changed, and the business and administrative districts have begun to move outward, and a number of performance and entertainment venues have sprung up here.

Thousands of young professionals and artists flocked to the new workshops, bars, tours, and art galleries, making it an art city worthy of Manhattan.

Hans led the way in the traffic jam in the city center, and they passed through various modes of transportation such as walking, subway and DASH minibuses before finally entering a skyscraper.

At noon, the three of them were sitting in a Spanish restaurant in the building, and then a blonde white man in his forties came up and asked, "Is it Mr. Lee and Mr. Fox from Flagpole City?"

Hans shook hands with him and said, "Yes, hello, Mr. Bill Chicano. ”

Chicano, with small curly hair, casually dressed and a well-groomed beard, looks like an artist rather than a businessman working in the building.

Sure enough, when the two sides talked later, Chicano claimed to be an engraver, but he was also a car collector and was interested in Rolls-Royce logos.

Hans took out the box, and the golden goddess of the Flying Goddess spread her wings inside.

Chicano called the waiter, ordered a few lunches, and said, "You guys eat first, I have to appreciate it, oh, you must try the churros here, they taste good." ”

In Li Du's impression, fried dough sticks are a representative of Chinese breakfast, but after serving the food, he learned that Spain also has this thing.

It's also a fried pasta, but it's topped with honey and powdered sugar.

Chicano put on his gloves and took a closer look at the statue of the Flying Goddess, then he opened the laptop he was carrying with him and searched for some information on the Internet.

When Li Du and the others were almost finished, he also finished reading it, nodded and said, "This Flying Goddess Statue is very good, but compared to the legacy of the car accident, it is a little too well preserved, right?"

Hans said, "You suspect that our car sign is not coming from the right way? man, it's kind of insulting to us." ”

Chicano insisted: "I checked the information of this car mark, and the car it was in was destroyed in a high-speed car accident, and the front of the car hit the truck, so why is the car mark so well preserved?"

"If you know enough about the car markings, you should know that they are hidden back in the engine compartment when the car is traveling at speeds above 80 kilometers per hour, protected from wind and sand. Hans said.

Chicano nodded and said, "Yes, that's right." ”

Hans continued: "At the time of the accident, the speed was over 180 kilometers per hour!"

Chicano shrugged, looking to accept the statement.

The badge was perfectly preserved, which made him worry that it was stolen, but he was more at ease with one thing, that is, the Rolls-Royce badge was very well protected and difficult to steal.

First of all, when the car is turned off, the statue of the flying goddess automatically hides in the bonnet to protect it, and only when the car is restarted, it will come out of the hood again.

Secondly, there is a sensor on the car logo, if the car does not extinguish the fire and does not start, and someone tries to touch it, the sensor will immediately transmit the signal to the central control computer, and the car logo will immediately shrink under the engine cover at a very fast speed and hide.

Li Du has seen a review on the Internet before, and the retraction speed of the goddess statue is very fast, and it needs to be seen in slow motion, just like teleportation.

After much deliberation, Chicano finally agreed to buy the logo.

What followed was a price tug-of-war, with Hans in full control.

How could Chicano, the artist, be Hans's opponent? In order to practice bargaining, Hans had mixed in the vegetable market, and he had honed his skills.

In the end, the negotiation ended, and the price of the car mark was sold at 30,000 yuan.

This is the psychological price of Li Du and Hans, and the price at which the logo can be sold is very good.

During the transaction, Chicano saw the umbrella and asked in surprise, "You still have a Rolls-Royce super umbrella?" ”

Hans firmly refused: "I'm sorry, Mr. Chicano, I'd be happy to trade with you, but this umbrella already has an owner. ”

Chicano was disappointed and said, "Yes, that's a pity, how much did he bid?" I want to compete with him. ”

Hans laughed: "No, it's not a matter of price, it's about reputation. We are treasure hunters, for us, reputation is the signboard, the business that has been negotiated, we can't go back on our word. ”

Hearing this, the artist showed an expression of admiration, shook hands with him, and said: "It's a pleasure to meet a reputable friend like you, and in the future, there will be things related to cars and sculptures, and I think we can continue to cooperate." ”

Chicano bought this logo, not only for collection, but also for carving and learning.

Each Statue of Liberty is a handmade work of art that requires multiple processes.

Among them, there are two processes for manual grinding, the first is to polish the wax figure out of the template, and the second is to polish and form according to the template.

In the second grinding process, the Goddess of the Flying Goddess is polished by hand at least 8 times, after which it is ground for 65 minutes in a machine filled with a mixed grinding substance.
