Since 1981 Health School

Chen Qi didn't care about Professor Dewey's unintentional gaffe, but smiled instead:

"It's okay. It's a fact that our country is still relatively poor, so I want to purchase some medical equipment that can still be used, but this is temporary. Sooner or later, I will buy a brand new machine."

Dewey let out a long sigh of relief, then nodded and said:

"There is no need to recommend second-hand dealers. There is the largest second-hand market on the West Coast in Eureka Port. There is everything there. You can go and have a look."

Second-hand goods in Mold Country are not a taboo or shameful thing.

For example, second-hand cars are the first choice of young people. When they have no money, or the first money they earn from part-time jobs, they will choose to buy a favorite second-hand car.

Similarly, second-hand clothes are also very popular in the moldy country, and you don't dislike them just because others wear them.

So the flea market first emerged in the country of mildew.

There is also a "warehouse auction" or "container auction" that Jianbao novels like to write very much. In fact, most of the sales are second-hand goods, but everyone still enjoys it.

Similarly, major hospitals in the country will eliminate a large number of medical equipment and testing instruments every year and resell them to the second-hand market by middlemen.

Some are because the life of the machine has reached the age that it should be eliminated, so it has to be replaced.

If in China, these iron bumps can be sold for a lot of money as scrap products, scrap collectors like these instruments, because they can be used to refine various precious metals.

But in Moldland, you have to dispose of these big guys. Not only will the hospital not receive the money, but they will also pay an extra garbage cleaning fee, otherwise the cleaning company will not come to collect it.

Therefore, in order to save costs, many hospitals will choose to have some intermediaries and let them take it away in the name of reselling. As for whether the intermediaries sell or refine it is their business.

This is the same as in some residential areas, such as an old refrigerator. If you throw it away, you have to pay a sum of money to the garbage removal company, and then the residents will put the refrigerator on the side of the road, put a label on it, and whoever needs it will pick it up Walk.

In the same scene, large home appliances and large furniture are handled in this way. If they look good, they can be sold in the community flea market.

When China was poor, we often heard rumors that we could pick up big color TVs and big refrigerators for free in foreign countries without spending a penny.

At that time, everyone was poor, thinking that foreign countries are really paradise, and they don’t even need to spend money on such precious home appliances?

This situation will continue until the price of home appliances in China is so low that no one wants to go abroad to pick up foreign garbage...

The second-hand medical devices that flowed out from the major hospitals in the country were not purely junk, but there were actually quite a few good ones in them.

Some gray areas or unspoken rules are actually very popular in the country of mildew. After all, who doesn't love money?

For example, if a purchaser wants to get a kickback, he has to purchase a brand new medical device. The problem is that your hospital already has an old-fashioned machine with the same function, what should you do?

Then we can only scrap all the machines that can still be used, and then sell them as scraps.

Because these second-hand instruments are fully functional, most of them will be refurbished and sold to other countries. Even if they are disassembled and sold as parts, the market is very huge.

In Chen Qi's space, there is equipment from a hospital that he just stole. He is not going to sell it. If he sells it at this critical moment, he will seek death. The police are not stupid, and they must have sent someone to secretly monitor the second-hand market.

He wants to buy it.

Chen Qi has now stolen so many medical equipment and testing instruments from the University of California, San Francisco Medical Center, and some high-end equipment will definitely be used in the future.

Otherwise, guarding Jinshan and starving to death, thanks? Domestic hospitals are starved for food and urgently need these medical equipment.

Then it is necessary to find a good excuse for the source of this part of the machine.

There is no formal sales record in the second-hand market, and cash transactions can also be used, which can evade the supervision of relevant departments.

At that time, it will be transported to Huaguo or Sierra Lean under the name of "foreign garbage".

When Chen Qi took out some B-ultrasound machine or some CT parts, he would have a plausible reason and excuse.

Even if the police in the U.S. have a solid line, they must check the source of Chen Qi's medical equipment. Now that there is a complete and closed-loop evidence chain, it shows that he bought it from the second-hand market, and the doubts can be eliminated.

In order to ensure that his plan was foolproof, Chen Qi sneaked away halfway through the plenary meeting, borrowed Professor Dewey's car, and quickly went to the San Francisco branch of Sumitomo Bank to withdraw 200,000 yuan in cash.

Now the chain of evidence is more complete. The source of funds has been clearly stated. Are there any loopholes?

When Chen Qi appeared in Yuri Harbor near San Francisco, he was shocked by the huge second-hand trading market in front of him.

He originally thought that this market was like a domestic vegetable market, with a few business rooms, a few warehouses, and then a group of boring shopkeepers gathered in twos and threes to eat sunflower seeds.

As a result, the second-hand market in Yuri Port in front of us can only be described as huge.

Let's put it this way, Chen Qi drove a car around the entire market trading area. The car was always driving, and it was always in the market.

There are general store areas, automobile areas, household appliances areas, electronic product areas, furniture areas, clothing areas, and even agricultural product areas, which shows the huge scale.

Originally, Chen Qi was planning to go straight to the second-hand medical equipment area, just to go through the motions and make a quick decision.

Now that the market is so bustling, with cars coming and going, and people buzzing, he became interested for a while and was ready to take a stroll.

For example, in the second-hand car market, there are dozens or even hundreds of second-hand cars parked in the open space in front of every shop. There are all kinds of models, and as long as they are men, there is nothing they don't like.

After Chen Qi got out of the car, he checked among various models of cars by himself, feeling this one and looking at that one.

In fact, whether these are sedans or off-road vehicles, for Chen Qi from 2022, they can only be described as backward, and the models are also very old.

But when he was reborn in the 1980s, especially since he has been in China all the time, and now he is working and living in Africa, which are all backward areas, let alone those cars.

Now seeing so many state-of-the-art cars from the 1980s there, Chen Qi couldn't help itching.

For example, the Lamborghini LMA002 in front of him, he had seen it in a magazine in his previous life.

This was originally a military vehicle made for the US military, but after failing to compete with the Hummer military vehicle, Lamborghini decided to transform it into a civilian vehicle. For this reason, it was replaced with other V8 engines and maintained the front four-wheel drive form.

It is definitely a tough guy car, and it can adapt to a variety of complex terrains.

Chen Qi thought to himself, driving such a cool car would be awesome in a ghostly place like Africa, and it would also be practical. In case of any emergency, he would use this "quasi-military car" to ram the other party.

A heavy machine gun is installed on the roof, and it is a proper military vehicle.

In addition, there are many popular pickup trucks in the second-hand car market, ranging from Ford to Dodge, and even Japanese pickup trucks. It is simply a paradise for second-hand car fans.

It's a pity that Chen Qi doesn't know which cars are valuable for collection, otherwise he can definitely make a lot of money in the future by picking and choosing now.

While Chen Qi was looking around, a salesman came over and asked politely:

"Sir, what can I do for you?"

Chen Qi thought of a logistics problem, so he asked:

"Hi, I'm a foreigner, and I'm here for a meeting. If I want to buy these second-hand cars, is there any way to transport them to China?"

It is estimated that this is not the first time that the salesman encountered this kind of problem, so he answered with a smile:

"Don't worry, sir, we are a port here. If you really want to buy a car, you can find an agency company at that time, and then resell it in the name of scrap, and ship it to the address you need by sea, but you will have to pay a lot of taxes. Fee, and besides..."

The salesman obviously wanted to facilitate the deal, so he whispered:

"In addition, there are some companies in Yuri Port. They can help you avoid these taxes and fees, but they also charge a certain fee. They can also help you deliver what you need to any corner of the world."

Chen Qi quickly understood, this is smuggling, secretly packing cars into containers, as long as the customs inspectors are his own people, they can smuggle away anything.

Speaking of the company, I am afraid that more people involved in the underworld are doing this kind of thing.

Chen Qi asked curiously again:

"If I want to buy more second-hand cars, or other second-hand products, the quantity is large and it is impossible to purchase them in one day, how should I do it?"

"That's also very simple, sir, you just need to rent a warehouse in the warehouse area over there, and then store the purchased materials in there every day, and then transfer them at one time after you purchase, and the warehouse can be used daily Rented, very convenient."

No loss is an old capitalist country, the service is thoughtful, and everything you can think of is thought of.

This daily rental warehouse is tailor-made for Chen Qi, because the warehouse area is full of densely packed warehouses of various sizes.

Chen Qi looked over, there were at least a few hundred of them, and there were cars and cars in the warehouse area, it seemed that the business was very busy.

This gave Chen Qi the opportunity to use the golden finger to cheat. At that time, put all the materials to be purchased into the warehouse, and then secretly put them into the space, and finally cancel the lease.

As for the removal of the things in the warehouse, no one will pay attention, and the lessor will not care, anyway, as long as you rent a lot.

This time Chen Qi felt good, thinking that this salesman has a good attitude, he deserves to make a small fortune today.

"Well, then I want to buy more cars in your store, such as pickup trucks, this Lamborghini off-road vehicle, and other classic cars. Please recommend them to me, but the quality must be good. In addition, I need to be able to buy Models with accessories, not unpopular cars.”

The eyes of the sales are bright:

"Really? Sir, how many cars do you need to buy? Don't worry, I will definitely recommend the best quality car in the store to you, and I can even apply for the biggest discount with the manager."

Chen Qi doesn't understand cars, what engineering knowledge do you expect a medical student to know?

He bought the car purely for transportation, and the price of another second-hand car in the country is too cheap.

For example, the most famous "farmer's car" Ford Raptor in Moldy Country is probably new and only costs $1,200.

Chen Qi's favorite Lamborghini LMA002, because the sales of new cars are not good, so second-hand cars are cheaper, as long as Chen Qi 2,500 US dollars.

The most expensive is the Mercedes-Benz W126, a classic S model from the early 1980s, almost new, asking $10,000.

In this way, Chen Qi bought 20 second-hand cars of various models, from trucks to cars, from low-end to high-end, and only spent more than 50,000 US dollars, one flying knife.

For Chen Qi, this business is simply too cost-effective, so whether he is in Africa or returns to China, the car problem will be solved.

Some people will say, how can you drive a smuggled car in China? How can I get on the road?

Cough cough, this is really too little understanding of the domestic auto market in the 1980s and 1990s, these are not problems at all.

As for in Africa, what license plate do you need? What is the vehicle tax? If you have a car, you are the uncle, and you can drive it as you like.

The happiest thing is that the second car was sold, and I definitely earned a lot of rebates today.

You must know that in 1987, the per capita income of the country was only more than 10,000, and the second-hand car market was originally dominated by the poor. If you sell more than 50,000 US dollars in one go, that is definitely a big deal.

Finally, with a big wave of his hand, the manager sent a lot of spare parts of related models in the warehouse, and happily sent them to the warehouse that Chen Qi rented.

When the salesman sent all the cars to the warehouse, he secretly slipped a business card to Chen Qi:

"Sir, if you need to transfer something, you can call the number on this business card. This company has the best reputation and can definitely help you deliver your things to where you want to go, and the charges are reasonable."

When Chen Qi got the business card, he thought to himself that it really was money-making ability, but he underestimated him too much, he still needs a transporter?

Coming out of the second-hand car market, Chen Qi went to the second-hand clothing area to browse. This African black uncle was basically naked, and even the black girls didn't wear clothes, which was too unpopular.

Of course, it's not that black people don't want to wear clothes. In fact, Sierra Leone doesn't even have a textile factory except for the pharmaceutical industry.

All the clothes are imported. A T-shirt sold for $1 in foreign supermarkets may require a sheep to change in Sierra Lean.

Now Chen Qi has bought a lot of second-hand clothes, and when the time comes, he will take out a bunch of clothes and let the black people pick them out, and he will definitely gain the greatest friendship.

As for clothes expensive?

Well, let’s put it this way, these clothes, pants, and shoes are sold in "bundles", and the price of a pile ranges from tens of dollars to hundreds of dollars, and you can have as much as you want.

Clothes are ridiculously cheap.

Of course, some people will say that it was picked up from the dead? It's a hassle to wear second-hand clothes.

Chen Qi wanted to say: You don't even have to wear clothes, no matter where they come from, as long as you can wear them, don't be hypocritical when you have no money.

After shopping for a long time, Chen Qi finally came to the second-hand medical equipment market.

There is no need to look at the machine, the signboard outside says various types of precision instruments, from B-ultrasound machines to CT machines, in any year.

At this point, the price is considered expensive. The old CT 10 years ago, the new one is about 500,000 to 600,000 US dollars, and it will sell for more than 78,000 US dollars here.

General electrocardiogram machines, blood tri-classification analyzers and other mainland products are much cheaper, but they also cost from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars each.

It can be seen that the second-hand medical equipment market is highly profitable. There is no way, this industry is too professional, and there are too few engineers who can repair and maintain these precision instruments, so the price cannot be lowered at all.

Moreover, this second-hand market is mainly for foreign customers. What kind of country will come to buy second-hand goods? Of course they are poor.

New phones can't afford to buy old ones. Although they are still expensive, compared with those sky-high new phones, there are too many discounts on second-hand phones, so the market transactions are still very prosperous.

Chen Qi didn't really come to buy second-hand medical equipment, he just came to pretend.

In this market, there are at least a hundred second-hand equipment dealers. No one can find out which store he went to buy and what he bought.

So Chen Qi just wandered around for a long time, looking at this store, walking around that store, and finally took a lot of materials and promotional papers, and patted his butt to avoid people.

Even if the task is completed.
