Chapter 37 [Happy America, Gun ......]
After the name of the repair shop was decided, Gu Ren told Brian about his thoughts on the basement renovation.
"I want to renovate the basement, reserve a part of the space at the entrance to the basement, make a separation belt, reinstall a large iron door, preferably the kind of big iron door with a password input, I just looked at the diesel engine inside, it is something that is some years old, the lines and pipelines must also need to be repaired, and then all the rooms inside are opened......"
Brian listened and remembered it in his heart, and when he heard that a large iron gate was going to be installed, and some surveillance cameras would be installed, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said, "You want to make the basement into an underground bunker?" ”
"Haha, I just want to put something in there and make it a little stronger and safer." I have known Brian for more than half a year, and Gu Ren knows very well that he is not a broken-mouthed person, and he also knows what to ask and what not to ask.
Sure enough, as Gu Ren expected, Brian just nodded and said, "If that's the case, I'm afraid the basement needs to be overhauled." But repairing the lines and pipes, opening the room, installing the big iron gate, and monitoring the camera, I'm afraid it will take 10,000 or 20,000 yuan. ”
"Money is not a problem, the iron gate and the monitoring equipment are the best for me."
Gu Ren took out a bank card from his pocket and handed it over, "I just saw you outside that you bought some repair equipment and tools, and paid a year's rent, I think the money left to you last time should not be enough, there are 200,000 in it, in addition to renovating the basement and repairing the factory, the rest of the money you look at into a batch of commonly used auto parts, as well as the cost of recruiting people to open up next." ”
"I should ask you for more wages, I'm afraid I'll be busy again." Brian took the card.
"Haha, don't worry about this, I never treat my own people badly, and I won't lose a cent of the money I should give."
Gu Ren knew that Brian was joking with himself again, he clasped his hands in front of his chest and smiled: "I believe in your ability Brian, I hope that our speed auto repair shop will be able to open smoothly next month." ”
Hearing this, Brian raised his eyebrows and didn't speak, just nodded in understanding.
……
Walking out of the gate of the repair shop, Gu Ren was just about to leave here when he suddenly heard the sound of a police car "beep".
What went wrong?
Several police cars whizzed along the road in front of Gu Ren.
He frowned, it seems that the jokes that have appeared on the Internet are not made up, it is really happy America, shootouts every day! Free Afghanistan, Carrying a Gun is Doing ......
Brian sent the porters away, saw Gu Ren standing there, and curiously stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Gu Ren pointed to the police lane in the distance: "Didn't you see a few police cars passing by?" I'm wondering what's going on somewhere. ”
"It's normal."
Brian shrugged his shoulders and said, "There are robberies here every day in Lofe Road, and it's normal for police cars to come over. ”
"Then you're still looking for a factory here?"
Gu Ren looked at Brian in surprise, he didn't care if the repair shop could make a lot of money for him, so Brian chose to open a shop here, he didn't have any opinion, but was happy that there were almost no U.S. police patrols here.
But Brian obviously knew that Luo Fei Dao was very messy here, and he still wanted to open the store here, if Gu Ren didn't know that Brian had no enmity with him, and the relationship had always been good, he would really think that he wanted to harm himself and lose money.
"There have been a lot of robberies, but there are very few of them. I value this place, mainly because there are a lot of cars here, and there are underground racers racing on this avenue almost every week. ”
Brian said: "My previous repair shop used to receive these guys who liked drag racing, and they were all very rich and generous, and they could modify them for tens of thousands of dollars. ”
"Isn't it illegal to modify a vehicle?" Gu Ren frowned, he didn't want to be investigated by the US police every day in order to make this money.
Hearing this, Brian looked at Gu Ren in astonishment, obviously surprised by what he said, but then he looked clear and said slowly: "Boss, you may rarely come into contact with these things, modifying vehicles is not illegal in the United States, you only need to apply for a modification license from the government to prove that our repair shop has the ability to modify vehicles." ”
"That's ......"
Gu Ren looked embarrassed, although he had been in the United States for almost a year, he basically either practiced guns in a shooting club, or went back to the Mojia Martial Arts Gym in Chinatown to practice boxing.
"Blue Waves......
Hearing the sound, Brian looked to the left and saw several red and white ambulances driving not far away, muttering to himself, "It seems that someone is injured." ”
Gu Ren glanced at the ambulance a few times, turned his head to him and said, "I'll go back first, if there is any situation, you can contact me directly." ”
Brian said: "Don't worry, boss, when you come over next time, everything will be done here." ”
Gu Ren smiled, didn't say anything more, just waved his hand, turned around and walked towards the place where he had parked earlier.
After a while, when he arrived at the temporary parking spot, Gu Ren picked up the key and opened the car door and got in, after getting into the car, he twisted the key, stepped on the clutch, started the engine and turned the front of the car to prepare to go back to Chinatown.
As the car drove past an apartment building, Gu Ren noticed several police cars and ambulances parked on the side of the road, the ones he had just seen.
Out of curiosity, Gu Ren lowered his speed slightly, glanced sideways, and in addition to five or six police officers maintaining order at the scene and avoiding pedestrians, he also saw the ambulance personnel walking out of the corridor carrying five stretchers, each covered with a white cloth.
This is... Dead?
Gu Ren raised his eyebrows, and secretly sighed that it was worthy of a happy America! As soon as I stepped on the accelerator, I drove all the way to Chinatown.
……
The next day.
Gu Ren went to the Mojia Martial Arts Hall in Chinatown and told the master that he would not go to sea in the future.
Gu Ren, who was still surprised, why Mo Youqian, who hadn't left at this time, suddenly became excited when he heard this: "Okay! It's good not to go to sea! Ah Ren, I have long wanted you not to run away from the boat. ”
"Well, I'll listen to your master and stop running the boat." Facing Mo Youqian's concern, Gu Ren's heart warmed, and he smiled: "I recently partnered with a friend to open an auto repair shop, which is not very far from Chinatown, and I will often come here to practice boxing in the future." ”
"A garage? Well, it's good, there isn't much in the United States, except for cars, and I think business will be good if you open a repair shop. ”
Mo Youqian was very satisfied with Gu Renxin's work, and asked with a smile: "Where did you open this store?" I'll say hello to my foreign apprentices, and if they want to repair the car in the future, they will come to you, and of course you will definitely give them a discount. ”
Listening to the master pulling customers for himself, Gu Ren haha said: "No problem master, no matter who goes to the repair shop to repair the car in the future, as long as you report your name to the master, you will be given a 20% discount." ”
"Isn't 20% off too much? Just get 9% off. ”
"No, it's 20% off, the auto repair industry is still very profitable, don't worry, master, I won't lose money."
Mo Youqian naturally wouldn't let Gu Ren suffer, and asked for a discount just to attract new customers for him, but seeing Gu Ren say this, he didn't say anything more, as long as he could make money, and with more discounts, he would be able to attract many customers to the door.
Just like himself, when he first came to the United States, in order to attract apprentices to learn boxing, he directly engaged in a routine like the gym, 20 yuan for one class, 20% off for 10 classes, and 7% off for 20 classes......
In this way, relying on preferential activities, soon foreign apprentices came to learn boxing.
At the end, Mo Youqian asked, "Ah Ren, you haven't told me where your repair shop is." ”
"Lofe Road in Brooklyn."
"Lofe Dao!"
Mo Youqian frowned, having lived here for decades, he naturally knew that Brooklyn Lofe Road was very messy, and Gu Ren opened a shop over there, so I was afraid that it would be easy to be bullied.
Seeing the master's worries, Gu Ren hurriedly said: "Master, don't worry, I am only responsible for paying the money, and it is a friend of mine who is in charge of the repair shop, he knows a lot of people over there, so there will be no problem." ”
"It's better to be careful."
After hesitating for a few seconds, Mo Youqian didn't say what he was worried about, but just reminded Gu Ren to be more careful.
"I'll be careful, master." Gu Ren said with a smile.
"Master!"
At this time, someone outside called Mo Youqian.
The two walked out of the door and saw that it was Chen Ying.
Chen Ying first glanced at Gu Ren, and immediately stepped forward and shouted "Master".
"A-Ying, you're here, how are you doing lately? Is there anything I need help with? ”
"Without the master, everything went smoothly at work."
"That's good, you young people talk by yourself, I'll go to the front to see how your junior brother is practicing boxing."
Mo Youqian glanced at his two apprentices, and didn't know what he was thinking, so he walked out of the inner hall with a smile and walked towards the room where he practiced boxing in front.
After the master left, Chen Ying asked, "Didn't you go to sea?" How did you come back so soon. ”
"Stop running the boat, and prepare to open an auto repair shop."
Gu Ren said simply, and then went straight to the point: "I just came back and heard that there were two more murders in Chinatown recently? ”
"Yes."
Chen Ying nodded and said: "Recently, the police station has been busy with this serial murder case, and there was another murder near Lofe Road yesterday afternoon, and I happened to pass by Chinatown, so I had time to come to you." I don't have much time, so if there's anything you can tell me directly. ”
"There was a tragedy in Lofe Road?" Gu Ren remembered those police cars and ambulances yesterday afternoon, could it be this case.
Chen Ying realized that he had missed something, so he quickly covered his mouth, frowned, and reminded: "Don't talk about this matter everywhere, it is still in the confidential stage, and it will not be announced to the public until some clues are investigated." ”
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone." Gu Ren thought for a while and said, "It's actually not a big deal for me to look for you, I just want to tell you to be more careful when handling cases." ”
"I'll be careful."
Chen Ying didn't care why Gu Ren didn't call to say this, but was very happy in his heart, but the corners of his mouth involuntarily rose slightly, and a beautiful arc was raised.
It's a pity that her bright smile only lasted for a few seconds, and when she restrained her smile, she said seriously: "I still have business to do, so I won't talk to you more, and I'll talk about it when this case is over." ”
"Okay."
After the greetings, Gu Renmu sent Chen Ying away.
