39. The first party
"Who?" asked Li Du, the name feeling somewhat familiar. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Hans looked at the text message on his mobile phone while driving, and introduced casually: "Dogtail Reginald, our counterpart in Flagpole City, this guy almost hung up after drinking fake wine some time ago, so I haven't seen him recently." ā
Hearing this, Li Du suddenly felt that this name was familiar, and this matter was on the news of Flagpole City some time ago.
This Reginald was quite unlucky, there was some fake wine in the warehouse, he thought it was fine wine, opened a bottle with his partner and drank it, celebrating that they had bought so many good wines at a low price.
The two were then brought down together, for which the Flagpole City Police Department also investigated Li Du because the fake wine was stored in a warehouse by an Asian American.
A car came head-on, and Hans scrambled to the steering wheel and almost crashed into each other.
Li Du was so frightened that he was covered in a cold sweat, and quickly confiscated his mobile phone to let him drive honestly.
Hans sneered, "I'm a little fascinated by text messages, uh, there's good news for you, we're famous in Flagpole City, and Dogtail organized a party of treasure pickers for us to play." ā
Li Du shouted, "We almost lost our lives to play!"
The party was on the weekend, and they were going to dispose of the phone before that.
But they haven't done yet, and a customer comes to the door, but this customer is not here to buy a mobile phone, but to buy furniture, brought by Kevin, the owner of the grocery store.
"This is Mr. Billy Chison from Las Vegas, who works at a casino and is interested in our set of furniture. Kevin explained.
Flagpole City is not far from Las Vegas, and the lavish furnishings are indeed similar to those of a casino, or even from a casino.
Billy Chison was a big man, with no hair on his head, a bare crown, a brow on his head, sunken eyes, and a fleshy face, and he guessed that he was the bodyguard of a casino tycoon.
Hans showed the set, he went up to look at it, took out a magnifying glass and scanned it from beginning to end, and said, "There is something wrong with the table, the neoclassical furniture is intarsia for texture, and the pattern of the table is too complicated and showy. ā
This is an expert, not as brave and resourceful as he appears on the outside, Li Du immediately understood.
Hanstan said sincerely, "Yes, but as you must see, I have trimmed the table so that you can't see it unless you are a connoisseur." ā
Dahan nodded and asked, "How much?"
Hans said, "We want to sell for 5,000 dollars. ā
The big man pouted and said, "If this table and sofa are a set, five thousand yuan is not a big problem, but they are obviously put together, three thousand yuan." ā
Hans shrugged and said, "You're quoting too low a price, man, so we can't ......."
"Forget it, I don't have time to bargain with you, how about taking the middle price of 4,000 yuan? Dahan interrupted him and directly quoted the reserve price.
This price is completely acceptable, in fact, even if Dahan insists on three thousand, Hans and Li Du are willing to sell it.
Four thousand yuan was sold, Hans reached out and high-fived him, and said with a smile: "Thank you, BOSS, thank you for buying our goods, and I wish you a prosperous casino business." ā
The big man smiled, took out rolls of green bills from his pocket, counted four rolls and threw them at them.
Hans tossed it in his hand, didn't open it to count, and said directly: "It's exactly four thousand yuan, come on, you lead the way, and I'll deliver it to the door." ā
Delivery only needs one person, the two cities are not far away, Li Du stays, Hans travels.
The Ford pickup truck followed an S-series Mercedes-Benz and sped away, Li Du was a little worried, and asked, "This guy won't take Hans out into the field and kill him and steal the furniture, right?"
Kevin looked at him with disdain: "Drive an S-series Mercedes-Benz to grab this piece of furniture, not enough gas money!"
Li Du thinks about it, he has watched too many Hollywood blockbusters.
In this way, without furniture, there are very few things in their hands, and only this one kidney slasher is left.
Kevin saw it, his eyes lit up, and he chased after him and asked, "Hey, Chinese boy, how much does this phone cost?" Sell it to me, Uncle Kevin will give you a good price." ā
Li Du showed a very innocent smile and asked, "How much, Uncle Kevin?"
Kevin stretched out a slap and smiled kindly, "How about I give you 500 yuan? ā
Li Du was taken aback: "Five hundred yuan?!"
He's not acting, Kevin is too profiteer, this isn't to slaughter him as a wronged head, but to slaughter him as a fat pig.
Kevin said, "yes, five hundred, that's a surprise to you, isn't it? I bet no one will pay more than me, because there aren't many nostalgic old guys like me." ā
"THINK ABOUT IT, LAD, A FIRST-GENERATION IPONE THAT NO ONE WILL USE NOW FOR THE LATEST IPINE, YOU'RE LUCKY, GRAB IT!"
Li Du didn't have the desire to bargain with him, took out his mobile phone on E-Bay, searched for a generation of IPONE and then showed him the price, and said: "Uncle Kevin, I am Chinese, not Korean, I will go online!"
THE ONLINE QUOTATION FOR THE FIRST GENERATION OF IPONE IS VERY HIGH, STARTING AT LEAST 5,000 YUAN.
Kevin didn't give up, pulled him and said: "These things on the Internet are all fake, they have a price and no market, it's better to say a price, if I can, I'll buy it." ā
"It's the same as you, a slap, but the unit is not 100 yuan, but 10,000 yuan, 50,000 yuan!"
Kevin walked away happily, and before leaving, he said, "I should have seen it last time I ate, boy, you have a big appetite." ā
When Hans came back and heard about it, he leaned back and turned back with a smile: "Haha, Kevin, this old guy is finally deflated." ā
Originally, in terms of furniture, he earned 1,600 yuan, but when he went to Las Vegas, it became minus 400 yuan, and he lost 2,000 yuan after playing in the casino for one night.
On the weekend, they drove to Reginald's home for a gathering of treasure hunters.
On the way, Hans introduced Li Du that this kind of gathering is generally in a small circle, no more than ten people, the consumption is AA, the organizer provides the venue, and everyone pays for the food and beer.
The weather is good, the spring wind in Flagpole City is beautiful, the grass and trees are budding, the flowers are budding, and people exercising can be seen everywhere on the streets and in the community garden.
The party organized by Reginald was in his backyard, with a manicured lawn and a small fine garden, and when they arrived, a bunch of pickup trucks were parked in front of the door, and the house was noisy.
Hans and Li Du get out of the car, and Dalton, who had been at the Phoenix Classic warehouse and they had been paying before, appeared.
He leaned through the window and shouted, "Hey, guys, come on, LeBron James has a key rebound, let's guess if he can pull off the kill?!"
