Protagonist:

Jiang Wenyu

Before Jiang Wenyu could say anything more, Li Chen had already taken that brick phone and walked back.

"Oh my, sorry for the wait." He again wore a good-natured smile and said to Wu Chang: "Mister, your thing is too expensive. It can be fixed, but the price..."

Wu Chang didn't know where he got this kind of thing either. He said impatiently: "Alright alright, hurry up and say it, how much money!"

Looking at his frantic appearance, one didn't know what he was rushing off to do.

Li Chen chuckled, again feigning a thoughtful look, and finally sighed and said: "How about this, I don't care how much you want, you just give me... this number."

Li Chen held up two fingers. Wu Chang looked and subconsciously asked: "Two hundred?"

Li Chen immediately shook his head and said: "Not two hundred, two thousand."

"Two... two thousand!?" Wu Chang's face instantly changed drastically, and he said: "Fixing a thing you ask me for two thousand?"

Li Chen, with a smile on his face, put down the brick phone, took out a cigarette, lit it while saying: "This is already considered a normal price. I see your thing cost more than two thousand just to buy. And let me tell you, in this whole mall there really aren't many people who can fix it. Running into me counts as your good luck. If you don't believe me, you can walk around and look. If it really doesn't work, you can come back."

Li Chen's tone was exactly like those impatient "unscrupulous merchants." One didn't know what he did before e-commerce.

And Wu Chang's face was also quite ugly. His forehead was beaded with sweat. After looking left and right, he gritted his teeth and said: "Fine, two thousand it is. But you must fix it well for me, otherwise I definitely won't agree!"

Li Chen instantly beamed with joy and said: "Rest assured, rest assured. Like this, you come by in a couple days, and then you pay the money first, okay?"

Wu Chang very reluctantly took out his wallet from his bosom. Inside there were only a few hundred yuan. He stuffed it all to Li Chen and said: "Give these first. In a couple days when I come I'll give you the rest together!"

After speaking he hurriedly left.

Li Chen held the brick phone and the few hundred yuan and walked back, saying to Jiang Wenyu: "Hehe, how about it? Brother's silver tongue isn't bad, right?"

Jiang Wenyu, who had seen everything, was already delighted in his heart. He smiled wryly and shook his head. Actually, although this kind of handheld phone was expensive, repairing it wasn't complicated at all, and it fundamentally wouldn't cost this much money. Wu Chang had obviously been ruthlessly fleeced by Li Chen.

He took out half from those few hundred yuan and directly stuffed it into Jiang Wenyu's pocket, then looked at the big color TV and said: "How is it? Is fixing it troublesome?"

Jiang Wenyu said: "Not troublesome. Estimated it's because the temperature difference was too large during transport plus bumps and knocks. The picture tube is scrapped. Need to replace one."

Li Chen nodded and said: "Okay. Tomorrow I'll see about getting you one."

The big color TV could only be temporarily set aside. As for that phonograph, repairing it was slightly more troublesome. The whole afternoon Jiang Wenyu spent on it. Fortunately, before evening it was finally finished.

He wiped his hands, rested a while, and then was dragged by Li Chen to Xiaochi Jie.

"Hahaha, your idea isn't bad, but I feel you definitely have big things to do, right?"

"You can even see this out?"

"Tch, I, Li Chen, have no other skills. Reading people, that's top-notch."

Jiang Wenyu merely spoke his idea of acquiring old appliances, yet his purpose was seen through by Li Chen in one go.

He looked curiously at Li Chen eating and drinking on the side and asked: "I'm actually suspecting what you did before."

Li Chen waved his hand and smiled shamefully: "Don't mention it. I see we both are people with some past experiences. Also thanks to Chen Lan, this old classmate. Otherwise I still wouldn't have met you, this nobleman."

Jiang Wenyu also couldn't help but laugh. To him, Li Chen was equally a nobleman. Two noblemen meeting, what worry about not making money?

They ate and chatted. Unknowingly they also chatted about family. Jiang Wenyu couldn't say much on his end. Li Chen was very generous and said: "Me? Nothing much. Knew a teacher before. Result: not two days and we split. I thought she despised me for having no money. Result: she despised my work. Tch, that woman understands shit!"

Li Chen is an open-hearted guy. In this aspect Jiang Wenyu is not his match. Chatting and chatting they chatted to southeast and northwest, chatted to Dajiang Nabei, chatted to social changes, and even spoke a sentence Jiang Wenyu once said.

"Brother, you must know, in this current era, business opportunities are everywhere, gold is all over the ground! You and I just need to grab one or two, heh, then no worries about food or drink, absolutely can do a big undertaking!"

When Li Chen said this, both his eyes were shining. It was precisely because of this sentence that Jiang Wenyu from then on decided to always cooperate with Li Chen.

Eating and eating, Li Chen also drank quite a lot of alcohol. Jiang Wenyu still didn't touch a drop. Xiaochi Jie had quite a few people. Most were open-air pavilions. Right at this time, a man in all black leather jacket and leather pants walked straight toward them.
