Chapter 39 39. The First Party
"Who?" Li Du asked, he felt that the name was familiar.
Hans looked at the text messages on his phone while driving, and casually introduced: "Reginald the dog tail, our colleague in Flagstaff City, this guy almost died of drinking fake wine some time ago, so I haven't seen him recently."
Hearing this, Li Du was stunned. No wonder he felt the name was familiar. It was on the news of Flagstaff City some time ago.
This Reginald was quite unlucky. There were some counterfeit wines in the warehouse. He thought they were good wines, so he opened a bottle with his partners and drank them to celebrate that they had bought so many good wines at such a low price.
Then, the two were put down together. For this reason, the police station in Flagstaff City also investigated Li Du, because the fake wine was stored in the warehouse by an Asian.
A car was coming head-on, Hans turned the steering wheel in a hurry and almost collided with each other.
Li Du was so frightened that he was covered in cold sweat, so he quickly confiscated his mobile phone and asked him to drive honestly.
Hans laughed and said, "I'm a little fascinated by the text messages. Uh, I have good news for you. We have become famous in Flagstaff City. Dog Tail organized a party for treasure hunters. Let's go and play."
Li Du shouted: "We almost died playing!"
The party is on the weekend and they have to get rid of the phone before then.
But they haven't acted yet, a customer came to the door, but this customer did not come to buy a mobile phone, but to buy furniture, brought by the grocery store owner Kevin.
"This is Mr. Billy Chison from Las Vegas. He works in a casino and is very interested in our set of furniture." Kevin introduced.
Flagstaff City is not far from Las Vegas, the casino city. This kind of luxurious furniture is indeed similar to the style of the casino, and they may even come from the casino.
Billy Chisen was a big guy with no hair on his head, bald head, bald brows, deep-set eye sockets, and a fleshy face. Li Du guessed that he was the bodyguard of a certain casino tycoon.
Hans showed this set of furniture. He went up to have a look, took out a magnifying glass and scanned it from the beginning to the end, and said: "There is a problem with the table. The neoclassical style furniture uses intarsia to present texture, and the patterns on the table are too complicated. Show off."
This is an expert, not as brave and foolhardy as it appears on the outside, Li Du immediately understood.
Hanstan said honestly: "Yes, but you must have seen it. I trimmed the table. Unless you are an expert like you, you can't see it."
The big man nodded and asked, "How much?"
Hans said, "We want five thousand dollars."
The big man curled his lips and said: "If the table and the sofa are a set, five thousand yuan is not a big problem, but they are obviously put together, three thousand yuan."
Hans shrugged and said, "Your price is too low, buddy, so we can't..."
"Forget it, I don't have time to bargain with you. How about taking the middle price of 4,000 yuan? But you have to help me deliver it." The big man interrupted him and directly quoted the reserve price.
This price is completely acceptable. In fact, even if the big man insists on three thousand, Hans and Li Du are willing to sell it.
The deal was worth 4,000 yuan. Hans extended his hand to give him a high five, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Boss, for buying our products. I wish you a prosperous casino business."
The big man smiled, took out rolls of green bills from his pocket, counted four rolls and threw them to them.
Hans shook it in his hand, didn't open it to count, and said directly: "Exactly four thousand yuan, come on, you lead the way, I'll deliver it to the door."
Only one person is needed to deliver the goods. The distance between the two cities is not far. Li Du stays and Hans travels.
The Ford pickup followed an S-series Mercedes-Benz, Li Du was a little worried, and asked, "This guy won't take Hans to the wild, kill him and steal the furniture, will he?"
Kevin looked at him with contempt: "Driving an S-Class Mercedes-Benz to grab this furniture? Not enough gas money!"
Li Du thinks about it too, he has watched too many Hollywood blockbusters.
In this way, without furniture, there are very few things in their hands, and only this Kidney Shaker is left.
When Kevin saw it, his eyes lit up immediately, and he chased him and asked, "Hey, Chinese boy, how much is this phone? Sell it to me. Uncle Kevin will give you a good price."
Li Du showed a very innocent smile and asked, "How much is it, Uncle Kevin?"
Kevin extended a slap and smiled kindly: "How about I give you five hundred yuan? You can use this money to buy a new IPONE."
Li Du was startled: "Five hundred yuan?!"
He's not acting. Kevin is such a profiteer. It's not that he's being taken advantage of, but that he's being slaughtered.
Kevin said: "Yes, five hundred yuan, the price surprised you, right? I bet no one will pay more than me, because there are not many nostalgic old guys like me."
"Think about it, boy, a first-generation IPONE that no one will use now, for a newest IPONE, you're in luck, grab it!"
Li Du didn't even have the desire to bargain with him, so he took out his mobile phone and went to E-Bay, searched for the first-generation IPONE, showed him the price, and said, "Uncle Kevin, I'm Chinese, not Korean, and I know how to surf the Internet!"
The online quotations for the first-generation IPONE are very high, starting at least 5,000 yuan.
Kevin didn't give up, pulled him and said: "These things on the Internet are all fake, there are prices but no market, how about this, you say a price, if I can, I will buy it."
"Same as you, one slap, but the unit is not one hundred yuan, but ten thousand yuan, fifty thousand yuan!"
Kevin left happily. Before leaving, he said: "I should have seen it when I ate last time, boy, you have a big appetite."
When Hans came back and heard about it, he laughed and laughed: "Haha, the old guy Kevin is finally deflated."
Originally, he earned 1,600 yuan in furniture, but he went to Las Vegas and lost 400 yuan. This guy lost 2,000 yuan in one night in the casino.
On weekends, they drove to Reginald's house for a treasure hunter party.
Hans introduced to Li Du on the way that this kind of gathering is usually in a small circle, with no more than ten people, and the consumption is AA system, the organizer provides the venue, and everyone pays for the food and beer.
The weather is good, the spring in Flagstaff City is sunny and sunny, the vegetation is sprouting, and the flowers are in bud. People exercising can be seen everywhere on the streets and in the gardens of the community.
The party organized by Reginald was in his backyard. The yard was a neat lawn and a small delicate garden. When they arrived, there were a bunch of pickup trucks parked at the door, and the house was noisy.
Hans and Li Du got out of the car, and Dalton, who was in the Phoenix Classic Warehouse and they had paid a price, appeared.
He poked his head out of the window and shouted: "Hey guys, come on, LeBron James scored a key rebound, let's guess if he can complete the lore?!"
