Chapter 154: Chapter 127: Picking Up Bargains and Selling_2

Well well, yesterday this Cruiser was still parked in the modification shop valued at over fifty thousand dollars, the biggest operation done on it was maintenance and brake disc replacement, and today the whole car is scrapped.

The body is burned to a crisp, the fenders riddled with bullet holes, you can even see bullets stuck in the steel plates. Engine tires, anything that could be used has been stripped away.

Allen Zhang went back to his old trade, started rummaging and quickly found a brake disc among the pile of rubble, wiping off the dust you could also see the serial number on it.

It’s the right one.

The feel and quality are also heavier than the other brake discs, but without close weighing, you couldn’t tell, and it looked all twisted and directly scrapped. No wonder no one recycled it.

Allen Zhang put the brake disc in a bag and collected it. He continued to search for the Toyota Highlander mentioned in the intel, but there were too many abandoned vehicles here, dozens of Highlanders, he could only take out a photo to match and search.

It took some time, but Allen Zhang finally found that Highlander that was flattened, but it was unrecognizable, considered scrap metal that you wouldn’t take even if it was free.

Allen Zhang had to do it himself, found a crowbar in the rubble, spent half a day prying the car door open, and pulled out the seat.

Rifling through, he finally found a grimy, dirty watch.

Blew on it, you could vaguely see the fine diamonds sparkling under the sun. Luckily, the glass surface had no obvious scratches, but the internal mechanics and parts were unknown, the hands had stopped moving.

No idea how much it could sell for.

Allen Zhang searched online for prices, found that a Starry Gold Rolex generally sold between six thousand to ten thousand dollars, categorizing it as a luxury item.

But with time passing it wouldn’t depreciate but rather appreciate with the gold price, this should be an 18-carat gold watch, the model from around 15 years ago, back then the gold price was $1061.20 per ounce, and it has not obviously depreciated now, it could at least sell for 4000 dollars no doubt.

If old George really had a conscience, this watch could fetch him 5000 dollars.

Allen Zhang was quite satisfied, put it away, considering this place was after all a suburban area, sparsely populated, no cameras, infrequent police patrols, and during broad daylight, there were lawless thugs everywhere, after obtaining the target items, it was indeed straight to the escape.

Absolutely no one was going to notice what Allen Zhang got here, the most valuable thing in a heap of broken cars was a mere engine, after who knows how many hands checked and detailed, anything of value was already picked clean, it was hard to find anything overlooked here.

But Allen Zhang was obviously the lucky one.

Having left Tucker Recycling Center, he returned to his car, Allen Zhang started the vehicle and drove for about ten minutes, stopped at a deserted roadside, pulled out a screwdriver and dismantled the brake disc, revealing the ink paper currency wrapped in plastic film inside.

Counted it, exactly 5000 dollars.

Whole fortune back to 25031 dollars.

Is there anything more satisfying than reaping unearned benefits?

Allen Zhang felt refreshed. Restarted the vehicle and returned to the suburbs, didn’t choose to return to camp but headed straight to George’s pawnshop, planning to sell the Rolex first.

Parked the pickup on the roadside, pushed the door and entered.

"Welcome to George Pawnshop... Hm? Customer, is it you?" Old George saw it was a familiar face, immediately showing a bright smile.

Allen Zhang felt his gaze was like he was looking at a sucker.

Looked around and noticed no one else in the shop, just old George and a new female employee?

The female employee had fair skin, was beautiful and had long legs.

Allen Zhang walked over and half-jokingly said: "Boss, business isn’t so good today? Hopefully you’re not too harsh and scared all the customers away, is this lady your new employee?"

"If I were really that harsh, would you still come here so many times?"

Old George’s expression didn’t change, how could he not know if he had a conscience or not? Otherwise, how could he have opened a chain store?

Compared to so many other pawnshops on the market, his prices were always fair to all, averaging only an earnings of 50% from the customers, only occasionally catching a big fish.

Not like those unscrupulous pawnshops next door in Las Vegas, who would easily give you a fracture price. Living luxuriously for a year, a villa for two years, and prison for three.

"This is my girlfriend!" George introduced.

??

Allen Zhang looked at old George’s young girlfriend, at most just eighteen years old, then took another look at the old gambler from Texas.

Mad! An old bull munching on young grass, huh?

All the good cabbage gone to the pigs.

Old guy still playing so wild at this age, you’re already a father, right? Finding a stepmom for your son who’s younger than him, how is that proper?

"Customer, what good items do you have to sell me this time?" Old George couldn’t wait to whip out the Dragon Slayer Sword and make a killing.

Allen Zhang had long been battle-hardened, no longer the inexperienced newbie, took out the Starry Gold Diamond Rolex watch, directly quoting: "This watch, I want to sell for 50000 dollars."

Not you...

Snatching less?

"You haven’t even introduced what this is and you want me to spend 50000 dollars to buy it?"

Old George’s hand trembled, feeling this was slightly absurd, have you lost your mind?
