Chapter 333: 332. Second Coming to the City of Angels (Monthly Pass +56)

According to the weather forecast, this summer rain will last for several days, covering the central and northern parts of Arizona, and it may be followed by heavy rain.

Hans seized the time to deal with the car badges and umbrellas. On Monday, he flew to Los Angeles with Li Du and Da Ao to sell the car badges.

"Who did you contact? Why is it so far away?" Li Du asked.

Hans said: "A car collector, only he is willing to accept this black goods. This car logo cannot be sold in Flagstaff City. It was lost in Flagstaff City."

Li Du nodded and said, "Since it's black goods, do you want to discount the price?"

Hans said: "It depends on our negotiating skills, but now this car logo is not a black product, I have already washed it white."

After hearing this, Li Du became interested and asked, "How did you clean it up?"

Hans said: "Do you think that the failure to deal with the car logo in the past few days is because Boss Fu can't sell it or is being lazy? No, Boss Fu is manipulating this matter."

"Every Rolls-Royce car logo has a number given by Southampton Polycast-Limited, UK. This number can be found on the official website."

"I found the information about a Rolls-Royce that was scrapped in a car accident, found the number of the car logo on it, and then asked someone to polish our car logo."

Having said that, he opened his hands and said, "Thus, its identity has been washed away, but to be on the safe side, it's better to sell it to a farther place."

There is a direct flight from Flagstaff to Los Angeles, and the city of Angels is sunny. They got off the plane and took a taxi to the downtown area.

For decades, Los Angeles' historic core, major business districts, and administrative districts have been concentrated in the city center, turning it into a ghost town at night and on weekends.

Now this situation has changed, the commercial area and the administrative area began to move out, and some performances and entertainment venues have sprung up here.

Thousands of young professionals and artists flock to new workshops, bars, tours and art galleries, turning it into an art town rivaling Manhattan.

The traffic in the city center was congested, and Hans led the way. They passed through various modes of transportation such as walking, subway, and DASH minibus, and finally entered a skyscraper.

At noon, the three of them were sitting in a Spanish restaurant in the building, and then a blond white man in his forties came over and asked, "Are Mr. Li and Mr. Fox from Flagstaff City?"

This is the right one, Hans shook hands with him and said, "Yes, hello, Mr. Bill Chicano."

Chicano, with his curly hair, casual clothes and well-groomed beard, looked more like an artist than a businessman working in the building.

Sure enough, when the two sides talked later, Chicano claimed to be an engraver, but he was also a car collector and was very interested in the Rolls-Royce logo.

Hans took out the box, and the golden flying goddess was about to fly inside.

Chicano called the waiter, ordered a few lunches, and said, "You guys eat first, I have to appreciate it, oh, you must try the deep-fried dough sticks here, it tastes very good."

In Li Du's impression, deep-fried dough sticks are the representative of Chinese breakfast, but he didn't know until later that they were served in Spain.

It is also fried pasta, but Spanish churros are sprinkled with honey and powdered sugar.

Chicano put on his gloves and inspected the Apsara statue carefully, then he opened his laptop and searched for some information on the Internet.

When Li Du and the others almost finished eating, he also finished watching, nodded and said: "This statue of the flying goddess is very good, but compared to the legacy of the car accident, it is a bit too well preserved, right?"

Hans said: "You suspect that our car logo is not in the right direction? Dude, this is a bit insulting to us."

Chicano insisted: "I checked the information of this car logo. The car it was in was destroyed in a high-speed car accident, and the front of the car hit the truck. So why is the car logo preserved so well?"

"If you know enough about car logos, you should know that this car logo will be hidden in the engine compartment when the speed of the car exceeds 80 kilometers per hour, so as not to be damaged by wind and sand." Hans said.

Chicano nodded and said, "Yes, that's right."

Hans continued: "When the accident happened, the speed exceeded 180 kilometers per hour!"

Chicano shrugged and seemed to accept the statement.

The logo was perfectly preserved, which made him very worried that it was stolen, but one thing he was more at ease was that the logo of Rolls-Royce was well protected and it was difficult to be stolen.

First of all, when the vehicle is turned off, the flying goddess will automatically hide in the hood for protection, and it will come out of the hood only when the car is restarted.

Secondly, there is a sensor on the car logo. If someone tries to touch it when the car is not extinguished or started, the sensor will immediately send a signal to the central control computer, and the car logo will shrink to the engine cover at a very fast speed. down and hide.

Li Du had read the evaluation on the Internet before, and the retraction speed of the goddess statue was so fast that it needed to be viewed in slow motion, just like teleportation.

After thinking for a long time, Chicano finally agreed to buy the logo.

What followed was a price tug of war, which Hans took full control of.

How could the artist Chicano be the opponent of Hans? In order to practice bargaining, Hans had been in the vegetable market before, and his skills were honed.

Finally, the negotiation was over, and the price of the car was sold at 30,000 yuan.

This is the psychological price of Li Du and Hans, and it is very good that the car can be sold at this price.

During the transaction, Chicano saw the umbrella and asked in surprise, "Do you still have the Rolls-Royce Super Umbrella? I would also like to buy this umbrella."

Hans firmly refused: "Sorry, Mr. Chicano, I would be happy to trade with you, but this umbrella already has an owner."

Chicano said disappointedly: "Really? That's a pity. How much did he bid? I want to compete with him."

Hans said with a smile: "No, it's not about the price, but about reputation. We are treasure pickers, and reputation is a signboard for us. We can't go back on what we have negotiated."

After hearing this, the artist expressed admiration, shook hands with him and said, "I'm very glad to meet such a reputable friend as you. In the future, there will be things related to cars and sculptures. I think we can continue to cooperate."

Chicano bought this car logo not only for collection, but also for engraving learning.

Each Statue of Liberty is a handmade work of art that requires multiple processes.

Among them, there are two processes for manual polishing, the first is to polish the wax figure out of the template, and the second is to polish and shape the wax figure according to the template.

In the second grinding process, the grinding of Feitian Goddess requires at least 8 times of manual grinding, and then it is ground for 65 minutes in a machine equipped with mixed grinding substances.
