Chapter 14: Hold
Chapter 14: Hold
Working in this line of work, they know the price of every commodity.
The purchase price of this grip is 130,000. If it is lower than 150,000, they will not make any profit. After all, it is a brand new grip.
The clerk did not respond directly, but showed another grip: "We have another grip here, take a look at this one."
Li Renyong took it and looked at it. It was 50% new, but the buttons were badly worn.
He did not debug other functions. After all, it was a gift, so it had to look good.
He casually put this aside, picked up the previous grip and said, "Look, at our age, we don't have much money. How much is this grip? You tell me the bottom price."
After much wrangling, Li Renyong finally spent 160,000 to buy it.
The clerk also gave me a plastic cover to hold the grip.
Li Renyong was very happy after spending 160,000 yuan to buy a brand new grip.
A second-hand store can actually not make much money from an electrical appliance; they just make a profit from the price difference.
After all, the amount of electrical appliances collected was very small, and the money was just a drop in the bucket in the eyes of those capitalists.
If they have their own delivery channels, then it would be a no-cost business.
These days, with the rapid economic development, many people throw away their electrical appliances when they are worn out or broken.
In Li Renyong's eyes, this is a complete waste.
If it’s old, you can refurbish it.
If it's broken, you can repair it.
There are still about ten years before the Korean financial crisis. Li Renyong is sixteen years old and has plenty of time to think about his future path.
South Korea is a rather strange country. After the 50s, the average wage per capita has increased dozens of times in just a few decades.
Like Japan, it transformed from a ruin into a developed country in just a few decades.
But one difference is that in South Korea, the chaebols have a firm control over this land.
In Li Renyong's view, his future will either be to work in the manufacturing industry, enter the entertainment industry, or work hard to get into a good university and become a prosecutor.
It is very difficult to do business, and it is even more difficult to break out of the control of the chaebols.
In the entertainment industry, Li Renyong can bring in some famous movies from later generations.
As for prosecutors, I don’t know about other countries, but in South Korea they are really the superior ones.
Li Renyong currently has no idea about the future development path.
With some knowledge and experience in my mind, I can definitely be one step ahead of others.
On the way home, Jung Hwan asked, "You bought this for someone else, right?"
Li Renyong smiled and said, "Yesterday I promised Deshan that I would give her a gift. I thought about it for a long time and thought that this would be a better gift."
Jung Hwan lowered his head and said with a hint of uncertainty: "Do you like Deok Sun?"
Li Renyong didn't know when Jung Hwan fell in love with Deok Sun. Later, he and Aze pursued Deok Sun at the same time, but ultimately failed because of their personalities.
Looking at him like this, does he like Deok-sun at this moment?
Hey, you are only in the first year of high school.
This is puppy love.
Li Renyong did not answer the question directly, but just gave Zhenghuan a meaningful smile.
This guy is a thoughtful, affectionate and loyal person, but he is a novice when it comes to relationships.
He would play and fight with Deok-sun, secretly give her gifts, wait for her on rainy nights, and support Deok-sun when she had an injured foot.
But he just wouldn't confess his feelings and never had the courage to say "I like you".
He has completely different personalities from his brother Zhengfeng.
If there were no stimulation from outsiders, he could have secretly loved someone for more than ten years without ever saying it out loud.
Li Renyong was indeed happy for Deshan.
However, this liking comes more from the love for film and television characters rather than real-life emotions.
He has deep feelings for everyone in Ssangmun-dong and is willing to treat them sincerely. Although I have seen him many times in movies and TV shows, I have only known him for a few days in real life and cannot say that I like him.
He is not the kind of person who covets other people's bodies.
Seeing that Li Renyong did not respond, Zhenghuan stopped asking questions and walked away dejectedly with his head down.
When I got home, it was around three o'clock in the afternoon.
When I opened the door, I found Deshan and others watching a DVD in their room.
Hey guys, didn’t you guys watch DVDs at Aze’s house before?
This is a change of position.
Li Renyong found a comfortable place to sit down and deliberately said, "Deshan, come and massage my shoulders."
Deshan was concentrating on the exciting clips on TV and said without turning her head, "No."
Li Renyong teased her deliberately: "I promised someone a gift yesterday, but now it seems I have to give it to someone else."
When Deok-sun heard the word "gift", she immediately became alert.
In fact, she didn't really want it. She thought it was just something Li Renyong said casually, but she didn't expect it to be real.
Deshan's eyes were like crescent moons: "I'll give you a shoulder massage right now. What gift did you buy?"
Li Renyong gestured to Deshan to massage her shoulders, and then took out the hand grip he had just bought.
Deshan opened the box and saw that it was actually a grip. She couldn't help laughing: "Hahahahahahahaha"
Laughter echoed throughout the house.
Liu Donglong couldn't stand the noise: "Be reserved, special forces." After that, he said to Li Renyong: "You went to buy this at noon? It cost a lot of money."
"Yes, one hundred and sixty thousand."
Only then did Deshan remember that at noon, Li Renyong was panting with exhaustion and his whole body was wet.
It turned out that he bought this for her, and I felt a little touched.
Grips are something she has always wanted, but the price has kept her away.
When he thought that this thing actually cost $160,000, his smile immediately disappeared.
For her, this was undoubtedly a huge sum of money.
If they were just some small gifts, Deok-sun would still be happy to accept them.
But this is too expensive, even though it is something she has always wanted.
Deshan reluctantly put down the jewel and said, "No, I can't have it. It's too expensive."
Seeing that Deshan refused to accept it, Li Renyong said, "You sent black beans to our family yesterday. Did you forget? This is our friendship."
Hearing the word friendship, Zhenghuan twitched his eyebrows.
Li Renyong glanced at Zhenghuan casually and said, "It's the friendship between neighbors."
Deshan glared at Li Renyong and retorted, "Black bean sauce and wowo are totally different things, okay?"
Seeing that Deshan still refused to accept it, Li Renyong had no choice but to act rogue: "Do you look down on me?"
Deok-sun was speechless for a moment. This guy was too shameless.
Liu Donglong winked and said, "Deshan, just accept it. We can borrow it to listen to it later."
In fact, if Liu Donglong wanted it, it would be no problem at all. His family conditions were not bad and he had several older brothers.
But since I graduated from the third year of junior high school, I will soon be in the first year of high school.
For the sake of his studies, Teacher Liu specifically asked his family not to buy these things for him.
Hearing this, Deok-sun had no choice but to accept the handshake and gave Lee Ren-yong a hug.
She was so happy and touched.
