Chapter 189: George, the Stranger
With a sudden brake, the pickup truck stopped in front of a building. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The sign above the info building, written in Spanish, looks weathered and has been around for years.
"Carlos, aren't you fooling us, this kind of place also sells high-tech?" Tutan, who was already quite prejudiced against Carlos, couldn't help but be angry when he saw this situation.
"Hero, don't, how dare I lie to you, this is really our largest electronic market, you can go in and have a look!" Saying that, Carlos led the way in front and walked in first.
Tutan slipped his hand into his pocket, held his gun, glanced at Bill, motioned for him to follow, and walked into the market.
The situation inside is a bit out of place compared to the outside. The aisles are spacious and tidy, the counters are placed in an orderly manner, and some shopping guides with a peugeot figure greet them warmly.
Carlos, who was walking in front, enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by beautiful women, but with Tutan behind, he didn't dare to waste time, so he could only wave his hand helplessly at those shopping guides.
The first floor is mainly about the accessories around the computer products, so they didn't stop at any of the counters at all, and went directly to the second floor.
Compared to the first floor, the second floor is a little deserted, with a few foreign faces scattered around to pick up goods.
"Bill, why should we bother so much, just buy a few mobile phones and it's over!"
"You're right, mobile phones can indeed meet our needs, but what you can think of, the enemy can't think of? If it is captured by the enemy, it will be completely cut off, so we must choose the safest method. ”
Tutan didn't understand these high-tech products, and he didn't bother to understand them, anyway, he was only responsible for keeping Bill safe.
In an inconspicuous corner on the second floor, Carlos stopped.
There was a man lying on the counter, and because there was no business, the man covered his face with a cowboy hat, and was lying on a chaise longue, and was sleeping!
"Hey George, here's business!" Carlos shouted to the man at the counter who was sleeping soundly.
The man named George turned over, "Take whatever you want, there is a price in it, just put the money directly on the counter!" George didn't lift his head, apparently he didn't want anyone to disturb his dreams. ”
"George, you're so lazy to get home, you don't even want to do business!"
Hearing the sound again, George took off his cowboy hat and sat up on a stretch.
It was a man who had grown a lot of gray hair and a grayish white beard, and although he was only sitting, it could be seen that his figure was not very tall, about one hundred and seventy centimeters.
"I said George, how are you decadent like this, this is not at all like the high-spirited soldier back then!"
It turned out that this man named George and Carlos were young, and the two grew up together, and later George went to join the army, and Carlos started his small business.
During a training session, an accident caused George's leg to be blown off, and he had to have his leg amputated, ending his military career.
The army gave him a grant, and he opened a counter here selling some munitions.
But the amputation was too great a blow to this young man, causing him to completely lose hope in life, and he only knew how to drink to kill his sorrows all day long, and he was getting thinner and thinner.
If Carlos hadn't said that the man in front of him was only thirty years old, Tutan would not have believed it, he looked at least fifty years old.
"Carlos, you're here, why, why didn't you introduce me to the girl this time?" George's gaze rested on Tutan and them, obviously, this was not the result he wanted.
Carlos often persuaded him to find a girl to start a family, and he had no regrets in life. But George looked at his broken leg and smiled bitterly, "In my case, don't harm other girls!" ”
Seeing his former partner degenerate like this, Carlos was also quite helpless, so he would bring some Yingzhao girls when he had time, which could be regarded as relieving his boredom for this partner.
"George, I'm looking for you this time, but I'm a little down to business!"
"Business? What else can I do? Carlos, you're really going to make fun of me. ”
"Okay, brother, I came to you this time to buy some communication and positioning equipment, this whole building, I don't think anyone is more professional than you."
Carlos is not wrong at all, in terms of product quality, George's goods have definitely reached the level of the army, while the goods of his peers are often counterfeit or defective, far from being comparable to him.
But because George didn't have the heart to do business at all, and opened this shop just to pass the time, the business was not doing well, and he looked sloppy and sloppy, and customers had already rejected his products. Only Carlos, who has been with each other for many years, knows that only this guy has the strongest ability to know goods.
"Communication equipment? Why, Carlos, did you offend anyone, how did you come up with the idea of buying communication equipment? By this time, George had already reached a cane from the chaise longue and stood up tremblingly, and it was only then that Tutan and Bill saw his empty trouser leg and couldn't help but feel a little mad.
"It's not me who I want, it's my group of friends, they need it, so the first thing I thought was that you must have the goods!"
For these things, except for some adventure travelers who will consult, few people usually buy them, so George clearly remembers that there are still eight pieces in stock.
And they need at least seven pieces for this trip, which can be regarded as good luck.
George took out a plastic bag from the bottom of the counter and threw it directly on the counter in front of Bill, "Now, it's all here, pick it yourself!" With that, he sat back in his chaise longue and picked up the half-drunk bottle of beer on the floor, and drank it again.
"What a strange guy!" Bill muttered, and then took apart a set of equipment.
This set of equipment has a positioning chip and a wireless headset,After some debugging,Positioning zero degree and sound quality are quite good,Bill is definitely an expert on this,He didn't have less contact with this thing before,Just these goods on hand,It can definitely meet military standards。
"It's good, I don't know what the price is?"
"Three hundred dollars a set, if you take seven sets, give you a discount, two thousand dollars!" George said without looking up.
According to Bill's experience, this kind of quality, no matter how you get a thousand dollars a set, I really didn't expect it to be so cheap here, I don't know if George is too real, or the merchants he met before are too ruthless, anyway, Bill thinks that this time he has picked up a big bargain.
Bill took out a wad of dollars directly from his pocket, counted three thousand dollars and put it on the table, "If you have the chance, I hope to be friends with you!" As he spoke, he held out his right hand to George.
