Chapter 248: The Car Thief (Part I)
The so-called "Prince of Nigeria", many times, is a popular form of spam scam, which is often in countries outside of Nigeria.
This kind of deception has been circulating in paper letters, then by fax, and then by e-mail, which has been around for decades.
The general plot of this scam is that a Nigerian prince or perhaps a high-ranking official wants to transfer huge sums of money abroad in the form of "state secrets", which requires the use of your name and bank account.
Of course, you'll get 10% of the tens of millions of dollars you get paid for a successful transfer.
If you agree to cooperate with these "princes", after a while, the scammers will ask you to pay a small "insignificant" fee and tip the officials in advance, citing that things are not going well.
After paying the money a few times, the other party becomes nowhere to be seen.
So this so-called "Nigerian prince" is such a scam without any cleverness.
However, even if it is this kind of unsophisticated scam, there are still many countries in the world, and many people can't stand the temptation of money and fall for it.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Intelligence, scams such as "Prince of Nigeria" defraud an average of $1.5 billion a year worldwide, a staggering amount.
In 1991, the Nigerian Government had to publicly state that there was no such thing.
However, the email was still popular until the beginning of the 21st century.
This phenomenon can be said to have had a great negative impact on Nigeria's image in the international community.
As a Nigerian student who went to Paris to study in 09, Isabel has not heard anyone talk about this kind of thing, and even had a great impact on her for a time.
So when she heard that Lin Dong actually said something like "Prince of Nigeria", Isabel's heart suddenly became gloomy.
Look at this girl whose face suddenly turned dark. (Well, don't ask why blacks can still see that their faces are dark, because that's what they are.) )
Lin Dong didn't know what the other party was stimulating.
But none of this has anything to do with him, seeing the other party standing there with a gloomy face, Lin Dong directly took Sophie's hand, bypassed Isabel, and the two of them left intimately again.
Isabel, who was left behind, stared at the backs of the two people with dead eyes, and said through gritted teeth: "You two guys wait for me, I will definitely find out your identity." Hmph, you can't escape the palm of my hand.
And that nasty bastard guy, next time I'm going to make you look good! Hum! ”
With that, he turned around and walked in the other direction. And on the side of the road not far in front of her, a red limited edition sports car was parked there, next to the two black policemen who had just blackmailed Lin Dong, who were trembling and doing a job as a parking lot security guard.
Found a rather fashionable Western restaurant, Lin Dong and Sophie enjoyed a delicious Western meal. Originally, Lin Dong wanted to take Sophie to a French restaurant to have a legendary French meal.
However, it was obviously not easy to find such a place in a city like Gongbei City, so Lin Dong had to give up in the end.
After the two of them had eaten, they didn't have the heart to go shopping again, so they found a green park, and the two sat on the park benches.
Lin Dong whispered something to Sophie from time to time, and Sophie showed a rare gentle smile on her face again.
Now Lin Dong has more and more experience in falling in love, and he can say some gentle and subtle love words from time to time, which makes Sophie's heart immersed in a little happiness all the time.
It's her favorite feeling!
Unconsciously, several hours had passed, and he had planned to go back to the hotel after dinner, but he didn't expect the two of them to be able to sit in the park and chat for an afternoon, Lin Dong himself was surprised.
Seeing that the sky was about to slowly darken, Lin Dong and Sophie were ready to go back.
However, after receiving a call from this guy Wall, the two who wanted to take a taxi also stopped.
Because from Wall's mouth, this guy didn't know where to get a second-hand Mercedes Benz sports car.
Lin Dong didn't say much about this, anyway, they have their own money. Hundreds of thousands of dollars, even to buy a brand new supercar is enough.
Especially this guy Wall, he is now a man who eats enough and the whole family is not hungry, so all the money he earns is spent by himself, and he is not distressed at all.
Within five minutes, a red roadster roared in their direction, and when they were about to approach them, there was a screeching sound of brakes, and then the car stopped right in front of Lin Dong and Sophie.
In the driver's seat, Wall, who was wearing a silver-gray suit and sunglasses, took off his glasses, looked at Lin Dong and the two next to him and asked, "How is it, boss." Handsome, right? ”
Lin Dong pursed his lips and said, "I don't see how handsome I am, I just feel like I'm burning, like an upstart!" ”
Open the back door, let Sophie get in the car first, and then sit down again, and say to Wall in the front driver's seat: "Drive!" ”
"Okay!"
Wall, who was still pretending to be a beautiful man just now, turned into a driver in a second, started the car and drove towards the hotel where the five people lived.
Fortunately, this car is a four-seater convertible coupe, and the model and logo should be a Mercedes-Benz 2006 CLK 200K convertible coupe.
Lin Dong doesn't know much about cars, after all, he was just an ordinary worker for more than 20 years, and he is still quite far away from sports cars.
But now it's 2011, and the car is no longer young, and from Wall's mouth, this guy only paid him $10,000 to get it.
The price of this car is no more than $100,000 at most, so Wall is definitely a high price to buy.
Feeling the speed of the car speeding on the road, Lin Dong was a little worried about whether it would attract the police from Gombe City.
However, Lin Dong was obviously overly worried, and it took them less than five minutes to arrive at the hotel, during which none of the policemen asked them to stop and check.
Lin Dong and Sophie got out of the car, and Wall naturally went to the hotel's underground parking lot.
They stayed in one of the largest hotels in Gombe City, and the only five-star hotel, called Pearlort, which is Chinese Qigucao.
Lin Dong took Sophie and the two directly to the restaurant, a very luxurious and elegant Chinese restaurant. There are also four or five flavors of Chinese food available, which makes Lin Dong very satisfied.
