Firepower is king

Chapter 35 Magical Realism

No wonder I came to Bogota first instead of flying directly to Medellin. It turned out that I was going to buy things here.

Now Gao Guang knew that this was indeed an underground shopping mall, but he still didn't know what Frank was going to buy here. However, after following the boss Sebastian for two steps, he saw a small shelf and a camera on it. .

There are all kinds of SLRs. There are only a few with long lenses and barrels, but there are quite a few of them. As for ordinary-looking SLRs, and those small digital cameras, really I can’t even count how many there are.

Sebastian walked to the shelf and picked up a backpack, opened it, took out a SLR camera with a long lens and said: "I just robbed a photojournalist yesterday, a football reporter who came with the away team, no. Who are you trying to rob him? We’ve snatched the camera bag, which is full of photographic equipment. If you want it, I’ll give you all the five thousand dollars.”

The camera was a Canon, but Gao Guang didn't know the model because he didn't understand cameras at all, but he knew that these cameras were expensive, but he didn't know if five thousand dollars was worth it.

Gao Guang translated Sebastian's words, and then Frank reached out for the camera, looked at it, shook his head and said: "A complete camera package will save me a lot of trouble. I need other things, do you have a professional-grade GPS?" ?”

"There are a few. After receiving the news, I had someone break into a store specializing in outdoor equipment, but there was only Garmin."

Sebastian led Frank two steps forward, pointed to a shelf and said, "The electronic products are all here. See what you need."

Frank looked at it for a few times and frowned: "Isn't there a military-grade GPS?

"It's difficult to get military-grade GPS. You should go to arms dealers. I basically only have civilian products here."

Frank breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said: "Then Garmin, no matter the model, let me get five of them, one thousand dollars."

"Can."

Sebastian was very happy. He didn't consider the price difference between different models at all. After agreeing to Frank's offer, he immediately said with an unhappy face: "The telescope is ready for you. There are not many things. I We could only make temporary purchases, but one of the new buyers got so nervous that he shot and injured a security guard, and now I have to spend money to settle this troublesome matter."

After half complaining and half showing off, Sebastian waved his hand and said: "I will contact the seller for you in Medellin for the gun you want. You can make this call when you arrive. Don't worry. The seller is definitely reliable and has been my partner for many years.”

After Sebastian finished speaking, he took out a note, Frank took it, then nodded and said, "Thanks."

There are boxes one after another on the shelves, and the boxes are all filled with telescopes, and the telescopes are all big-name products. After seeing the highlight, I immediately feel like I can't take my eyes away.

Swarovski, Zeiss, and Leica are the least famous for their expensive telescopes, but after taking a quick look at it, I saw at least seven boxes. As for the more affordable telescopes of Nikon, Bushnell, and Celestron, these three brands most.

It feels like I've entered a treasure trove, but I don't know what the price is.

Gao Guang couldn't help but look at Frank, and after a cursory glance, Frank said without changing his expression: "What's the price?"

"The old rule is half the market price. The most expensive one is the Leica, which is US$4,000. I suggest you buy it. Then the four Zeiss ones are all US$2,500. The other two Swarovski ones are worth two for you. For thousands of dollars, these telescopes are hard to come by, don’t miss your opportunity.”

Frank touched his chin and finally nodded: "Okay, the price is very reasonable. What about the walkie-talkie? Is there a military-grade walkie-talkie? It must be waterproof. We are going to the rainforest."

Sebastian shook his head and said: "You also have to find an arms dealer for military-grade walkie-talkies. It is difficult for me to purchase the walkie-talkies you need, but there are too many civilian walkie-talkies. As long as you name the models available in Bogotá, I will give them to you this afternoon. It can be purchased.”

Every term Frank and Sebastian said had to be translated by Gao Guang, so this time after translating Sebastian's words, Gao Guang added a sentence.

"What does he mean by purchasing?"

Frank thought for a while and said: "Stealing and robbing, just tell him I'll take a look at the inventory."

Sebastian pointed to a container, Frank looked at it, and then quickly said: "Motorola Digital Saber II, give me five units, I don't have time to wait for you to purchase them."

At this time, Gao Guang looked at a pile of white boxes. After looking carefully for a few times, he was shocked to find that they were tablets, laptops, and fruit phones.

Brand new and unopened, there is a pile of them.

Gao Guang now felt that Fruit 8 was really not fragrant, so he asked Frank again: "Can I ask the price of those things myself?"

Frank smiled and said: "Whatever, you will get a preferential price."

Gaoguang pointed at the pile of electronic products and said, "How much do those new mobile phones and computers cost?"

Sebastian looked at the highlight and said: "Half the price, only for retail. If you want the full price, let's talk about it."

Gao Guang sighed, and then he whispered to Frank: "Can I buy a computer at my own expense?"

Frank shrugged and said with a smile: "There are a lot of good things here. If you want to buy them, wait until our operation is over. If you still care about saving this little money by then."

Gao Guang was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

People are really poor and have short ambitions. They don’t want to think about the success of the treasure hunt. Who cares about saving hundreds and thousands of dollars.

Gao Guang despised himself fiercely, but when he looked at the piles of stolen goods, he still found them very attractive. He had no choice but to do it. After getting used to being poor, he always felt it was a waste not to pick up the bargains.

John didn't want to buy the bargains here. He just looked around casually without saying anything, and he looked much more promising than Gao Guang.

There were only a few things that Frank wanted to buy. After taking everything and paying by credit card instead of using cash, several people didn't even need to take the things because Sebastian would send someone to deliver the things to the hotel.

After a short delay, he said goodbye to Sebastian, and after leaving the veritable underground shopping mall, Gao Guang couldn't help but said: "This is really an underground shopping mall. I'm just curious, who is Sebastian?" "

Frank said calmly: "He controls the black market in Bogota. He has the largest gang of thieves. Almost all stolen and robbed things are sold to him. Of course, he cannot control all thieves and robbers. Private transactions are It is inevitable, but if there is a thief or a robbery gang who is unwilling to trade through him, then just wait for death."

Gao Guang nodded and said: "I understand, gangster."

Frank curled his lips and said: "You can think so, but...he actually has a public identity, that is, the deputy director of the Bogota Police Department who specializes in theft and robbery cases."

Gao Guang was silent. After a long time, he smiled bitterly and said: "Well, the country of Colombia is indeed quite magical, which is why great writers like Marquez were born. I understand."
