Chapter 7 7. Don't Eat, I'll Pay

After various inquiries and experiments by the two of them, it was finally determined that the massage chair was indeed broken.

Hans said despondently, "Shit, those who sell insurance are smart people. I should be able to figure out why he wouldn't use this massage chair if it wasn't broken?"

Li Du asked: "Is this worthless?"

Hans shook his head: "That's not true, it's just that the value will drop by half. I estimate that this massage chair can sell for 10,000 yuan, and now it's estimated to be five or six thousand yuan."

"Didn't you say it was worth 20,000 yuan?"

"I'm talking about 20,000 yuan for new goods. Is this second-hand goods OK? It's half the value!"

The 12,000 yuan he had planned turned into 3,000 yuan, and Li Du's heart suddenly turned from excited to wow-wow-wow.

He refused to give up and asked, "Can't we fix it ourselves? How come your car is only mortgaged for 2,500 yuan?"

The Ford F150 is the most popular pickup truck in the United States. This car starts at 26,000 yuan. He thinks he can mortgage 10,000 yuan no matter what.

Hans explained to him: "First of all, my car has already run 200,000 miles, and I have done a lot of heavy work, so the value has dropped drastically. Secondly, I am mortgaged, not sold, and the mortgage price is very low, but in the future I will To redeem, the ransom is also low."

"Then how about we borrow money to repair it?"

"Do you have any friends who can borrow money? I don't have any." Hans said very bachelor.

Li Du squinted at him: "I only have Hannah who can borrow money."

Hans immediately stood up and said firmly: "Absolutely not! Just sell it according to the damage. Anyway, you can make some money, and you have the starting capital!"

Li Du had no objection, Hans' protection of his sister left a good impression on him, if this guy really encouraged him to ask Hannah to borrow money, then he would only cooperate with Hans this time.

He keeps a respectful distance from anyone who dares to move his sister's money.

Li Du slept in the bedroom at night, and Hans slept directly on the massage chair.

This massage chair is indeed luxurious and high-tech. It can be completely flat, and the large and soft chair surface wraps around the human body, making it more comfortable than sleeping on a bed.

Hannah was startled when she came back from the night shift, and she was overjoyed when she saw it clearly: "God bless, you really got this massage chair?"

Hans got up in a daze: "Well, did God tell you that your dear brother wants a bottle of beer after he wakes up."

"No beer, but two cups of hot milk!" Hannah stared.

While Hannah was washing up, they moved the massage chair out first, then quickly finished breakfast and closed the door to leave, leaving Hannah a quiet resting space.

"Okay, where to sell it next?" Li Du asked.

Hans patted his chest and said, "Leave this to me, Boss Fu has deep connections!"

He didn't brag about this. Around noon, he contacted yesterday's truck to take the massage chair away and went to a grocery store.

The second-hand trading market in the United States is very developed. Whether it is second-hand cars, second-hand computers or even second-hand clothes and shoes, such stores have everything.

The stores they go to not only sell new products, but also handle second-hand items.

Seeing Hans, an old man with a pale face and silver hair came out and said with a smile, "Oh, Boss Fu, my boy, didn't you go to Los Angeles? Why did you come back to this small place?"

Hans said with a sneer: "I went to Los Angeles to open my eyes. In fact, my roots are in Flagstaff City."

"Then you didn't come to me to borrow money, did you?"

"Of course not!" said Hans in an exaggerated tone. "I've come to give you money, old fellow, and I'm not joking. Look, what's this?"

The compartment of the truck opened, revealing the face of the massage chair.

Seeing this chair, the boss laughed: "Very good, Kessler multifunctional electric space capsule, is this the second generation product? Great guy."

"Tell me about this massage chair, I want to know more about it." Hans said enthusiastically.

The boss nodded and said, "I won't talk about the history of Kaisle, but let me introduce this chair."

"We know that in 1956, motor gear technology was applied to high-end seats. In 1970, integrated circuit board technology was applied to various fields such as industry, military, communication and remote control."

"Kessler was inspired by it and developed a gear massage chair and an integrated electric control massage chair, which successfully entered the market."

"By 2008, Kessler was very powerful in applying storable micro-control technology to massage chairs, and developed a microcomputer numerical control massage chair, which is a generation of multifunctional electric space capsules."

After introducing the technology, the boss asked them to lift the chair down and plug it in, and continued:

"This massage chair has bluetooth music and LED lights. It adopts the front sliding space cradle design, which makes the seat have the shape of S+L space curved track. When used, it is like a half-wrapped space capsule. This is it. origin of name."

"Compared with the first generation, the second generation has improved some designs, such as the addition of foot massage rollers, adjustable massage belts, Thai-style stretching and slimming machines, etc."

Speaking of which, the boss of the LCD screen who was manipulating frowned: "Oh, hell, this machine is broken."

"But it's not bad, it's just that there's something wrong with the motor. I bet you can fix it, because you're Uncle Handy Kevin." Hans said immediately.

The boss said proudly: "Of course I can fix it, but the price is not what you imagined."

"Would you like to buy it?"

The boss nodded: "Yes, if it is new and usable, I am willing to pay 10,000 yuan. As for now? Five thousand yuan."

Hans laughed: "No, Uncle Kevin, you can't trick me like this. I think it's worth eight thousand yuan, right?"

"Eight thousand yuan? Can you fix it for me? Five thousand five hundred yuan, no more."

"I'm willing to take a step back, 7,500 yuan. This machine belongs to you. After repairing it, you can sell it for 17,500 yuan!"

"You can really talk nonsense. For the sake of the friendship between the Kevin family and the Fox family, six thousand yuan."

"Okay, okay, it's time for lunch, let's stop talking nonsense. Why don't we sell it to you for 7,000 yuan, and then you invite us to lunch and let my new buddy try the grilled lamb chops from Kevin's house !"

"Six thousand five hundred yuan, you can eat the grilled lamb chops as you like."

Hans looked at Li Du: "Brother, what's your opinion?"

Li Du was taken aback by their bargaining. He thought it was the aunt in the vegetable market bargaining with the stall owner.

Hans' words brought him back to his senses, he nodded and said, "I have no objection, let's do it this way."

The massage chair was brought in, and Boss Kevin ordered a thick stack of Franklin green bills for them, and then took them to the yard behind the store, where an oven was set up.

Hans introduced to Li Du: "Kevin's grilled lamb chops are well-known in Flagstaff City. They are sheep raised on their own farm, and they will let go of their bellies and eat hard later."

Li Du smiled slightly: "You can rest assured."

The lamb chops have been marinated in advance, and the pieces are ruddy in color with exquisite marble stripes. It is good meat at first glance.

Americans are very good at barbecue, especially garden barbecue, which is a must-have cooking method for every family.

Boss Kevin tossed the lamb chops with tongs, and the lamb fat was quickly roasted. Bright yellow oil flowers emerged from the lamb, making a "sizzling" sound, matching the overflowing meat aroma, Li Du's Salivary glands start working.

A plate of lamb chops the size of an adult's palm was served. Hans ate two pieces, and Li Du ate the rest.

Another plate of lamb chops was served, Hans ate one piece, and Li Du ate the rest.

There was also a plate of lamb chops, Hans didn't eat it, but Li Du ate it all.

After the fourth plate of lamb chops was served and was eaten by Li Du, Boss Kevin sweated on his forehead: "Forget it guys, I'll add another two hundred yuan to you. Can this meal end here?"
