238: Chapter 157: Connections and Revenge 238: Chapter 157: Connections and Revenge “20000 US Dollars,” Allen Zhang announced without hesitation, raising the price.
Old George was stunned upon hearing it.
Too little?
“But I quoted 4500 US Dollars!”
Old George even thought he was hearing things.
“That’s right.
Your suggestion is sensible, but I won’t accept it!
I want to sell it for 20,000 US Dollars,” Allen Zhang said with a smile.
The first price you ntioned, 4500 US Dollars, suggests that it can definitely fetch a much higher profit!
Old George’s face darkened, feeling like he was being used as a standard unit to asure goods.
Patiently explaining, “Though this is a nice antique, it has been stored too long and the inscriptions have beco sowhat blurred.
Its collectible value isn’t that high, worth at most around 8000 US Dollars.
I’ll also have to find soone else to handle the sale, which is an additional cost.”
I’d be a ghost to believe you.
You could sell this protection order for at least 20,000 US Dollars, maybe even more.
Don’t make your greed too obvious!
“Okay, then I am willing to sell it to you for 17,500 US Dollars,” Allen Zhang nodded.
After so haggling, Old George couldn’t bear to let the sure deal slip away, and Allen Zhang stepped back while the other party reluctantly parted with it.
“Alright, I can take the ship license for 16,800 US Dollars combined with the previous two items, totalling 17,500 US Dollars.
Would you like to pay in cash or through online banking?”
“Why even ask?
Of course through online banking, unless you also have Virtual Coins you can pay with.” Allen Zhang took out his debit card, handed it over to Old George who went inside to write a receipt and transferred the money.
“Okay, I’ve transferred the money to you.”
Allen Zhang checked his phone.
17500 US Dollars.
Remaining assets 135699 US Dollars.
After greeting Old George, he left with a refreshed spirit.
Getting into the car, he realized after several days of continuous driving, the fuel tank was nearly empty, so he imdiately started contacting people.
Olivia: “I have a fuel card at ho, given as a freebie from the Lexus dealership.
You can use it for free refueling at the gas station on West Street, and the room key is under the red flower pot right beside the apartnt door.”
Simone: “Fuel card?
I have a discount coupon, 1 US Dollar for 50 US Dollars of gas.”
Jennifer: “I can get a local fuel hawker to deliver a tank of fuel to you.
What type are you looking for?”
Rena: “The shelter here only provides free car wash.
I can’t lend you my fuel card, but you can drive my car directly.”
See, that’s the advantage of having connections!
Allen Zhang screened for cost-effectiveness and still felt free refueling was more lucrative.
He promptly unified his responses, drove to Olivia’s apartnt, found the room key as she ntioned, entered her room and retrieved the fuel card.
He also sent a ssage to Sieg to pull out his RV and pickup truck and get them lined up at the shelter for a free wash.
As evening approached, Allen Zhang received a ssage from Olivia.
Olivia: “I’m off work.
Don’t you owe a thank you?
You can co to my house tonight and show how you can stand on your head.”
Allen Zhang didn’t refuse, given he had used her fuel card and had promised to perform a handstand act.
He sent Dominic a ssage that he wouldn’t be returning and drove to Olivia’s apartnt.
Familiar with the place, he used the key to enter.
The house was filled with delicious aromas, as Olivia was cooking in the kitchen.
Seeing how quickly he had arrived, Olivia wasn’t surprised but rely hinted with her eyes, “Dear, you can go upstairs and take a shower first, and we’ll get down to business after dinner!”
“Can’t we go straight to the stomach?”
Walking over, Allen Zhang said, “I shower daily, I’m very clean!”
“I’m still cooking, oh…”
She embraced him from behind.
Olivia quickly got into the mood.
The simple appetizer had Olivia tasting the marrow of flavor, she said irritably, “With you being like this, we won’t be able to eat.”
“No worries, I’ll cook!
You go rest.” Allen Zhang took over the cooking duties.
Using semi-prepared ingredients, he quickly prepared the al and served it, inviting her to taste it.
“Didn’t expect your cooking to be quite delicious,” Olivia praised after tasting.
“If it’s good, eat more,” Allen Zhang smiled.
Turning on the TV, they played the local soap opera “Evil Power” and chatted while eating, resolving the dinner issue.
After washing the dishes, they sat down on the sofa with popcorn to watch TV.
While watching, Olivia beca restless, wanting to transform into a Female Knight.
She turned over, facing him and said, “Dear, weren’t you going to perform a handstand for ?”
“Who said that?
I ant, I’d teach you how to do it,” Allen Zhang quibbled.
“What?” Giving Olivia no chance to respond, Allen Zhang flipped over and pinned her down, ready for action.
What followed was a premium show.
…
The next day.
Allen Zhang woke up refreshed and stretched lazily.
Turning back, he saw Olivia had already gotten up; sounds of clanging were coming.ColumnStyle from downstairs, probably making breakfast – such a diligent woman.
He opened the Daily News and glanced at it.
