Chen Qi didn't care about Professor Dewey's unintentional gaffe, but smiled:

"It's okay, it's a fact that our country is still relatively poor, so I'm going to buy some medical equipment that can still be used, but this is all temporary, and sooner or later I will buy brand new machines."

Dewey breathed a long sigh of relief, and then nodded:

"You don't need to recommend second-hand dealers, there's one of the biggest second-hand markets on the West Coast in Port Eureka where you can check out everything."

Second-hand goods are not a taboo or a shame in the moldy country.

For example, second-hand cars, the first choice of young people, when they have no money, or the first money earned from part-time work, they will choose to buy a favorite second-hand car.

Similarly, second-hand clothes are also very popular in the moldy country, and they don't dislike it just because others wear it.

So the flea market first arose in the mold country.

There is also a "warehouse auction" or "container auction" that Jianbao likes to write very much, in fact, most of the goods sold are second-hand, but everyone still enjoys it.

Similarly, every year, major hospitals in the mold country will eliminate a large number of medical equipment and testing instruments and be resold to the second-hand market by middlemen.

Some of them have to be replaced when the machine life reaches the age when it should be eliminated.

If in China, these iron lumps can be sold for a lot of money, and the scrap collectors like these instruments, but because they are used to refine various precious metals.

But in the moldy country, you have to dispose of these big guys, and the hospital not only can't collect the money, but also pays an extra garbage cleaning fee, otherwise the cleaning company won't come to collect it.

Therefore, in order to save costs, many hospitals will choose some intermediaries to let people take them away in the name of resale, and it is someone's business whether the middleman sells or refines.

It's similar to some residential areas, for example, if you don't want an old refrigerator, you have to pay a garbage removal company to throw it away, and then the residents will put the refrigerator on the side of the road and put a label on it, and whoever needs it will take it away.

In the same scene, large household appliances and large furniture are handled in this way, and those who sell well can still be sold in the community flea market.

When I was poor in China, I often heard a rumor that I could pick up a big color TV and a big refrigerator for nothing in foreign countries, and I didn't spend a penny.

At that time, everyone was poor, and they thought that foreign countries were really paradise, and they didn't even need to spend money on such precious household appliances?

This situation will continue until the price of domestic household appliances is surprisingly low, so that no one wants to go abroad to pick up foreign garbage......

These second-hand medical devices flowing out of major hospitals in the moldy country are not purely junk goods, in fact, there are still a lot of good goods in them.

Some gray areas or unspoken rules are actually very prevalent in the moldy country, after all, who doesn't love money?

For example, if there is a purchaser who wants to eat a rebate, then he has to purchase brand-new medical equipment, the question is what if you already have an old-fashioned machine with the same function in your hospital?

Then you can only scrap all the machines that can still be used, and then sell them as scrap.

Most of these second-hand instruments will be refurbished and sold to other countries because they are fully functional, and even if they are disassembled and sold as parts, the market is very large.

Chen Qi has just stolen the equipment of a hospital in his space, he is not ready to sell it, he will sell it at this critical juncture, looking for death, and the police are not stupid, they must have sent someone to keep an eye on the second-hand market.

He wanted to buy.

Chen Qi has now stolen so many medical equipment and testing instruments from the University of California, San Francisco Medical Center, and some large-scale equipment will definitely be used in the future.

Otherwise, starve to death guarding the gold mountain, thanks to this? Hospitals in China are in dire need of these medical equipment.

Then you have to make a good excuse for this part of the machine source.

There is no formal sales record in the second-hand market, and you can also use cash transactions, which can evade the supervision of the relevant departments.

At that time, it will be transported to China or Sierra Lean in the name of "foreign garbage".

When Chen Qi came up with a B-ultrasound machine, or a CT part, he had a reasonable reason and excuse.

Even if the police of the moldy country have a strong line, they must check the source of Chen Qi's medical equipment, and now there is a complete and closed-loop chain of evidence, indicating that he bought it from the second-hand market, and the suspicion can also be eliminated.

In order to ensure that his plan was foolproof, Chen Qi secretly walked away in the middle of the plenary session, borrowed Professor Dewey's car, and quickly went to the San Francisco branch of Sumitomo Bank to withdraw 200,000 yuan in cash.

Now the chain of evidence is even more complete, the source of funds is clear, are there any flaws?

When Chen Qi appeared in the Yuri Harbor area near San Francisco, he was shocked by the huge second-hand market in front of him.

He originally thought that this market was like a domestic vegetable market, with a few business rooms, a few warehouses, and then a group of bored shopkeepers gathered in twos and threes to eat melon seeds.

As a result, the second-hand market in Port Yuri in front of you can only be described as huge.

Let's put it this way, Chen Qi drove the car around the entire market trading area, and the car was always driving and always in the market.

There are daily necessities, automobiles, household appliances, electronics, furniture, clothing, and even agricultural products.

Originally, Chen Qi was going to go straight to the second-hand medical equipment area, just to go through the motions and make a quick decision.

Now seeing that the market is so bustling, with cars coming and going, and people are buzzing, he is also interested for a while and ready to shop.

For example, in the second-hand car market, there are dozens, if not hundreds, of second-hand cars parked in the open space in front of each store, all of which are of various models, as long as they are men, there is nothing they don't like.

After Chen Qi got out of the car, he looked between the various models of cars, touched this, and looked at that.

In fact, whether it is a sedan or an off-road vehicle, for Chen Qi from 2022, they can only be described as backward, and the models are also very old.

But reborn in the 80s, especially he has been working and living in China, and now he is working and living in Africa, all of which are backward areas, and those cars are not to mention.

Now at first glance, seeing so many of the most advanced cars from the 80s there, Chen Qi can't help but itch his hands.

For example, the Lamborghini LMA002 in front of him, which he had seen in a magazine in his previous life.

It was originally a military car built for the U.S. military, but after failing to compete with the Humvee, Lamborghini decided to convert it into a civilian car, replacing it with a different V8 engine and maintaining the front-mounted four-wheel drive form.

It's definitely a tough guy car, and it can adapt to a variety of complex terrains.

Chen Qi thought to himself, such a stylish car is absolutely awesome in a ghost place like Africa, and it is also practical, in case of any emergency, completely use this kind of "quasi-military car" to hit the other party.

A heavy machine gun on the roof of the car, a proper military vehicle.

In addition, there are many favorite pickup trucks in the second-hand car market, from Ford to Dodge, and even this pickup truck, which is simply a paradise for second-hand car fans.

It's a pity that Chen Qi doesn't know which cars have collectible value, otherwise he will definitely make a lot of money in the future by picking and choosing now.

Just when Chen Qi was looking around, a salesman came over and asked politely:

"Sir, what can I do for you?"

Chen Qi thought of a logistics problem, so he inquired:

"Hello, I'm a foreigner, I'm here for a meeting, if I want to buy these second-hand cars, is there any way to transport them to China?"

It's not the first time that the sales estimate has encountered this kind of problem, so he replied with a smile:

"Don't worry, sir, we belong to the port here, if you really want to buy a car, you can find an agency at that time, and then resell it in the name of scrap and ship it by sea to the address you need, but you will have to pay a lot of taxes and ......"

The salesman, apparently wanting to make the deal better, whispered:

"In addition, there are companies in Yuri Harbor that can help you avoid these taxes, but they also charge a fee, and they can also help you get what you need to any corner of the world."

Chen Qixuan understands that this is not smuggling, secretly loading cars into containers, as long as the customs inspectors are their own people, everything can be smuggled away.

If it is said that it is a company, I am afraid that more people involved in crime are engaged in this kind of thing.

Chen Qi asked curiously:

"What should I do if I want to buy more used cars or other second-hand products, and the quantity is large and it is impossible to buy them in one day?"

"That's also very simple, sir, you just need to rent a warehouse in the warehouse area over there, and then put the purchased materials there every day to keep it, and wait for you to complete the one-time transfer, and the warehouse can be rented daily, which is very convenient."

It is not a loss of an old capitalist country, with considerate service, and everything that can be thought of.

This daily rental warehouse is simply tailor-made for Chen Qi, because the storage area is all dense, large and small warehouses.

Chen Qi looked over, there were at least a few hundred, and there were cars coming and going in the warehouse area, and it seemed that the business was very busy.

This gave Chen Qi the opportunity to use the golden finger to cheat, and then put all the materials to be purchased into the warehouse, and then secretly put them into the space, and finally surrender the rent.

As for the things in the warehouse that are removed, no one will pay attention, and the lessor will not care, anyway, you just need to rent a lot.

This time, Chen Qi was cool, thinking that this sales attitude is good, and he deserves to make a small fortune today.

"In this way, then I want to buy more cars in your store, what kind of pickup truck, and this Lamborghini off-road vehicle, and what classic cars are recommended to me, but the quality must be good, and I also need models that can buy accessories, not unpopular cars."

The salesman's eyes lit up when he heard it:

"Really? Sir, how many cars do you need to buy, you can rest assured, I will definitely recommend you the best quality cars in the store and even claim a maximum discount with the manager. ”

Chen Qi doesn't know how to drive, what engineering knowledge do you expect a medical student to understand?

He bought the car purely for transportation, and the price of second-hand cars in another moldy country is too cheap.

For example, the most famous "farmer car" Ford Mengyu in the moldy country is eighty percent new, only 1,200 US dollars.

Chen Qi's favorite Lamborghini LMA002, because the new car sales are not good, so the used car is cheaper, as long as Chen Qi is 2,500 US dollars.

The most expensive is the Mercedes W126, which is a classic S model from the early eighties, almost brand new, and costs $10,000.

In this way, Chen Qi bought 20 second-hand cars of various models, from trucks to cars, from low-end to high-end, and only spent more than 50,000 US dollars, a flying knife.

For Chen Qi, this business is simply too cost-effective, so that whether he is in Africa or back home, the car problem is solved.

Some people will say, how can you drive a smuggled car in China? How can you get on the road?

Ahem, this is really too little understanding of the domestic automobile market in the eighties and nineties, and these are not problems at all.

As for in Africa, what license plate is required? What is Vehicle and Vessel Tax? If you have a car, you are the uncle, whatever you want.

The happiest thing is that the second-car car is sold, and today it is definitely a big rebate.

You must know that in 1987, the per capita income of the country was only more than 10,000, and the second-hand car market was originally dominated by the poor, and the transaction was more than 50,000 US dollars in one go, which was definitely a big order.

In the end, the manager also waved his hand and sent a lot of parts of related models in the warehouse, and happily sent them to the warehouse rented by Chen Qi.

When the sales sent all the cars into the warehouse, he also quietly stuffed a business card to Chen Qi:

"Sir, if you need to transfer something, you can call the number on this business card, this company has the best reputation, and it can definitely help you deliver your things to where you want to go, and the fee is fair."

Chen Qi got the business card, thinking that it was really the ability to make money, but he was too underestimated to him, he still needed a transporter?

Coming out of the second-hand car market, Chen Qi went to the second-hand cloakroom again, this African black uncle is basically bare-assed, and even the black girls don't wear clothes, which is too hindering.

Of course, it's not that black people don't want to wear clothes, it's really that the country of Sierra Lean doesn't even have a textile mill except for the pharmaceutical industry.

All clothes are imported, and a $1 T-shirt sold in a foreign supermarket may require a sheep to change in the Sierra Lean.

Now Chen Qi has bought a lot of second-hand clothes, and when the time comes, he will take out a bunch of clothes and choose them at will, and he can definitely gain the greatest friendship.

As for whether clothes are expensive?

Well, let's describe it this way, these clothes, pants and shoes are sold by "heaps", how much is a pile, ranging from tens of dollars to hundreds of dollars, as much as you want.

The clothes are outrageously cheap.

Of course, some people will say that it was taken off the body of a dead person? How panicked it is to wear second-hand clothes.

Chen Qi wanted to say: You don't even have to wear clothes, no matter where it comes from, just wear it, don't be hypocritical when you don't have money.

After shopping for a long time, Chen Qi finally came to the second-hand market of medical devices.

You don't even need to look at the machine, there are various types of precision instruments written on the signboard outside, from B-ultrasound machines to CT machines, all kinds of years.

At this point, the price is expensive, 10 years ago, the old CT, the new is about 50~600,000 US dollars, and it will sell more than 78,000 US dollars here.

Continental goods such as general electrocardiogram machines and blood three-part analyzers are much cheaper, but they also cost from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars a piece.

It can be seen that the second-hand medical device market is highly profitable, there is no way, this line is too professional, there are too few engineers who can repair and maintain these precision instruments, and the price is not cheap at all.

Moreover, this second-hand market is mainly for foreign customers, what kind of country will come to buy second-hand goods? Poor, of course.

The new machine can't afford to buy the old machine, although it is still expensive, but compared to those sky-high new phones, there are too many discounts for second-hand phones, so the market transaction is still quite prosperous.

Chen Qi didn't really want to buy second-hand medical equipment, he just came to pretend to be himself.

In this market, there are at least more than 100 second-hand equipment dealers, and no one can find out which store he went to buy and what he bought.

So Chen Qi just walked around for a long time, looking at this store, walking around that store, and finally took a lot of materials and promotional paper, patted his butt and flashed people.

The mission is done.
