Chapter 32: Make money, solve the case

Meng Qingxiao called the old housekeeper in, pointed to the crystal energy tube and said, "Did your heating stove last overhaul because this thing broke down?" ”

The old butler nodded, "Yes, it was five months ago, and I personally paid for it, and it cost 8,000 capone." ”

The old butler immediately became nervous: "Don't tell me this thing is broken again." ”

Meng Qingxiao shook his head and said, "It's not broken. ”

Meng Qingxiao was hesitating, whether to tell the truth to this old man, if they didn't replace this crystal tube, then there would be a steady stream of problems with this heating stove, and he was afraid that he would have to come here once a month.

The old housekeeper Meng Qingxiao no longer spoke, but held the crystal energy tube in a daze, and couldn't help asking: "Burst the furnace, what is wrong with this furnace?" ”

At this time, the housekeeper also came over, and she said, "Little master, how do you know that this heating stove of mine was replaced with this accessory last time it was overhauled?" ”

Meng Qingxiao didn't answer and asked, "My lord, since the crystal energy tube was replaced, how many times has your furnace been repaired?" ”

Kasandada replied, "Almost once a month." ”

She was very smart and immediately grasped the crux of the problem, so she asked Meng Qingxiao again: "This stove breaks down so often, can't it be because of this thing?" ”

Meng Qingxiao decided not to hide it anymore, so he replied: "Yes, my lord, this crystal tube, its effect is very large, it is equivalent to our human heart, if there is something wrong with the heart, there will be all kinds of symptoms on the body, and the same is true for the energy furnace." ”

"So you've come to the conclusion that this thing called the Crystal Energy Tube is broken again?"

Meng Qingxiao shook his head and said again: "It's not broken, it's just that it doesn't match your stove, if you continue to use it, I'm afraid there will be some minor failures every month in the future, and the place where the failure occurs may be different every time." ”

Meng Qingxiao expressed it in a tactful tone, and did not say bad things about the previous maintenance worker, after all, his current job was brought to him by the previous maintenance worker.

Kasandra said, "In that case, let's replace it." ”

Meng Qingxiao said with a little embarrassment: "I heard the old housekeeper say just now, you spent 8,000 capone last time you replaced this thing?" ”

The old butler nodded and said, "Yes, it cost 8,000, is there any problem?" ”

"The villain doesn't dare to hide it from the adult, the crystal energy tube that can adapt to your energy furnace, the cheapest one also needs 12,000, the better one even needs 18,000, and if you want to replace the 8,000 crystal energy tube, I'm afraid it will still break."

Kassandra nodded, "Then let's get a better one." ”

The old butler had a different opinion: "Mistress, these workers have always liked to raise prices, and the cat here is so tired that you can't listen to his ...... everything."

"Hey!" Kassandra interrupted the old butler, "Uncle Spleen, how can you say such a thing in front of the little master, it's too rude." ”

Kasandda continued: "Master Blaster's credibility is guaranteed, in the aristocratic circle, everyone trusts him, and his previous asking price is also very fair, so I can trust him. ”

In the end, Kassanda chose the best one, with an open retail price of 18,000.

In this maintenance, the crystal tube manufacturer gave Meng Qingxiao a 15% commission, that is, 2700 capone, and the maintenance cost of the energy conversion device was 2000 capone, Meng Qingxiao gave a friendly price, 1900 capone, plus the manual fee of 300, excluding the cost of 800 capone, Meng Qingxiao earned a total of 4200.

"My lord, this repair will provide you with a year's after-sales service, and if there is any problem with the parts I replace within a year, I can help you replace a new one." Meng Qingxiao patted his chest and promised Kardashian that this was also what he extracted from Sanka Cog's memory, and it was the source of his trust from the aristocracy.

Meng Qingxiao accepted the money, thanked him and left, and the old housekeeper returned after sending it to the door, and the first sentence was to complain to his hostess: "Mistress, you are so kind, how can you give as much as he receives!" ”

Kasandra said lightly: "I wasn't at home when you repaired it last time, otherwise I wouldn't have let you spend 8,000 capone on that bargain, you just want to save me money, but in fact you have wasted a lot of my money, we have to repair it once a month, and the repair cost has added up to more than 10,000." ”

The old butler was sweating profusely, and Cassandda's words were so serious that he was seriously derelict in his duties.

However, the Kassandite nobleman knows how to give a sweet date, and she knows the truth of beating a stick to give a sweet date, so she slowed down her tone and said again: "You can't be blamed for this matter, your intentions are good, I know that you are dedicated to protecting my interests." ”

"But the guy called the blaster, he is indeed a sincere person, I don't know anything else, but I know the price of the crystal tube."

The old housekeeper naturally knew how to cooperate with the adults of his family, so he immediately said with a surprised expression: "Mistress, how do you know this?" ”

Kassandda said: "I have a distant cousin, he is a down-and-out nobleman, who was relegated by the first emperor to Liangcheng to live, and you know that in that place, although there is a good character in the name, in fact the environment is very bad. ”

"They have a tighter supply of heating stoves, so he found someone to start a heating stove business, the last time I contacted, he once mentioned to me in passing, like my small heating stove, the price is more expensive, the price of crystal tubes is generally more than 20,000 capone."

"This young man who burst the furnace, he gave it to us at the wholesale price, and he didn't make any money."

The old butler was even more surprised, he was really surprised this time: "Give it to us at the wholesale price, so what will he eat?" ”

Kassandda said: "It is not unreasonable that he can mix well in the aristocratic circle, although he did not make our money, but he earned our favor, you say that if the people around us have business next time, will they recommend him?" ”

The old butler said, "That being said, I still think it's incredible that business doesn't make money. ”

"Oops, I see!" The old butler clapped his palms, "He doesn't want us to reward him, right?" ”

"I communicated with the fire sickle before, oh, it's the butler of the noble family of Van Art, and the fire sickle once told me that the lord of his family gave him 3,000 capone because he repaired the heating stove well."

Kasandra frowned and said, "You should have told me about this earlier, if the young man is tight-mouthed, if he spreads the word, it will not do me any good reputation." ”

"I'm sorry, hostess, we were just making small talk to each other, and I thought the fire sickle was bragging, so I didn't care." The old housekeeper sincerely apologized, "But after your analysis just now, saying that he didn't make money, I realized that he should be waiting for us to give a reward." ”

"Why don't I catch up with him again and give him a little bounty?"

Kasandada shook her head, "Forget it, what kind of system is that, let's talk about it later." ”

Meng Qingxiao naturally did not give it to him at the wholesale price, in different places, the price of crystal energy tubes was originally different, not to mention that it was a big city with a large cargo throughput like Jirui City, many things were like this, the more hot the selling price, the more it could fall, and it would be very expensive if it was sold less.

Meng Qingxiao didn't know what the conversation between the master and servant was in the aristocratic house he had just left, and he was walking on the road while communicating with his AI.

"Xiao Dai, I feel that the money I earn is similar to that of being a porter, and it is still unstable, and I have to wait for others to come to me."

Xiao Dai said: "Then you can continue to go back and be your porter." ”

"Hehe, I just mentioned it casually, it's easier to do this, if no one is looking for me to repair, it's not too late for me to go back and move the box.

In fact, he didn't have to worry about having no work, Xiao Dai had already answered several calls for him, all of which were repaired by him, and several were rejected by Xiao Dai because the address was too far away.

In the local area, the heating stove is a profiteering industry, down to the bottom of the maintenance workers, up to the heating stove manufacturers of various brands, as long as the operation is appropriate, you can make a lot of money.

Planet 6 is a bitterly cold place, everyone is relying on the heater to survive, and almost every family has the heater on day and night.

Long-term high-temperature combustion makes these machines always under high load, so the life of the gas furnace is generally not long, and the service life of the gas furnace will not exceed 5 years.

The high price of the heating stove naturally needs to match the high income, and the income level of the local people is also relatively high, only the income of the working people at the bottom is lower, but fortunately, the food is not so expensive, so they can still survive.

Xiao Dai has already helped Meng Qingxiao shirk his work in the afternoon, and his task this afternoon is to catch Tan Ge and interrogate him to find out who is the murderer of the king.

Xiao Dai's surveillance of Tange has been going on for some time, but her identity is very confusing.

She lives in a large house with five servants who take care of her house and take care of her food, clothing.

Then came the problem, she also had a job, and the place of work was very close to her house, just across the street, about a 15-minute walk.

Her job turned out to be a maid for another nobleman.

She lives in a noble house and enjoys the treatment of a nobleman, but she works as a maid for another nobleman, what is going on, is it bittersweet memories?

Meng Qingxiao couldn't understand it, and Xiao Dai couldn't understand it, they could come up with countless explanations for this behavior, but random speculation obviously didn't help much to figure out the truth.

Meng Qingxiao ambushed Tanna on her way off work and threw her directly into the dimensional bag, where 300 Kunjia people were guarding her, they were already suffocated and eager to find something to do.

So when Meng Qingxiao found a safe place to stay (the king's study) and released Tan Ge, he found that Tan Ge had already explained everything she knew.

"I don't know what's down there, I'm just doing what I'm told." Tan Ge said.

"On whose orders?"

Meng Qingxiao felt that he was getting closer and closer to the truth.
