Chapter 465: Stealing equipment and figuring out a way out(2/2)
Some people will say, how can you drive a smuggled car in China? How can it be put on the road?
Ahem, this is because I really know too little about the domestic automobile market in the 1980s and 1990s. These are not problems at all.
As for what license plate is required in Africa? What is the vehicle and boat tax? If you have a car, you are the boss, and you can drive it as you wish.
The happiest thing is that the second car was sold. I definitely made a huge rebate 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 more than 50,000 US dollars were sold in one go, it was definitely a big deal.
In the end, the manager waved his hand and delivered a large number of spare parts for related models in the warehouse, and happily delivered them to the warehouse rented by Chen Qi.
When the salesperson sent all the cars to the warehouse, he quietly slipped a business card to Chen Qi:
"Sir, if you need to transport something, you can call the number on this card. This company has the best reputation and can definitely help you get your stuff where you want it to go, and the charges are reasonable."
Chen Qi got the business card and thought that it was indeed his money-making ability, but he underestimated him. He still needs a transporter?
After coming out of the second-hand car market, Chen Qi went to the second-hand clothing and hat area again. This black African uncle was basically naked, and even the black girls didn't wear clothes. It was too offensive.
Of course, it’s not that black people don’t want to wear clothes. In fact, apart from the lack of a pharmaceutical industry, Sierra Leone doesn’t even have a textile factory.
All clothes are imported. A T-shirt sold for US$1 a piece in a foreign supermarket may cost a sheep in Sierra Leone.
Now Chen Qi has bought a lot of second-hand clothes. When the time comes, he will take out a bunch of clothes for black people to choose from, and he will definitely gain the greatest friendship.
As for whether the clothes are expensive?
Well, let’s describe it this way. These clothes, pants and shoes are sold in “piles”. The price of a pile ranges from tens to hundreds of dollars. You can get as much as you want.
The clothes are so cheap it’s outrageous.
Of course, some people will ask whether they were ripped off from dead people? It’s so embarrassing to wear second-hand clothes.
Chen Qi wanted to say: You don’t even have to wear clothes, it doesn’t matter where they come from, as long as they can be worn, don’t be pretentious when you have no money.
After shopping for a long time, Chen Qi finally came to the second-hand medical equipment market.
You don’t even need to look at the machines. The signboard outside lists various types of precision instruments, from B-ultrasound machines to CT machines, of all ages.
At this point, the price has become expensive. An old CT 10 years ago cost about US$500,000 to US$600,000 when new, but here it costs more than US$78,000.
General electrocardiographs, blood trilogy analyzers and other mainland products are much cheaper, but they cost from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand dollars each.
It can be seen that the second-hand medical device market has high profits. There is no way around it. This industry is too professional. There are too few engineers who can repair and maintain these precision instruments, so the prices cannot be cheaper at all.
Moreover, this second-hand market is mainly for foreign customers. What kind of country will buy second-hand goods? Of course it is poor.
If you can't afford a new phone, you can buy an old one. Although it's still expensive, compared to the sky-high prices of new phones, there are so many discounts on second-hand phones, so the market is still booming.
Chen Qi is not really here to buy second-hand medical equipment, he is just here to show off.
There are at least a hundred second-hand equipment dealers in this market. No one can find out which store he went to buy or what he bought.
So Chen Qi just walked around for a long time, looking at this store and that store. Finally, he took a lot of information and promotional papers, patted his butt and walked away.
The task is considered completed.
