Chapter 14 - 4: A Little Gesture, What Does It Mean?_3
Lin Miao knew this was just a courtesy, only a fool would take it seriously. Without a word, he transferred 10,000 from the 100,000 he’d just received and said, "No way, I can’t let my big brother take a loss. This is the money for the car, make sure you take it, and I want to buy another one too, not a penny less."
Truth be told, 4,000 for a second-hand black car was a bit pricey, but the old captain’s people would handle the paperwork. Even with after-sales service, it was worth the price.
"Hey, that’s too much."
"Consider it for drinks with the guys."
Lin Miao gave an extra 2,000, and while the old captain said so, he didn’t return the change.
Normally, renting a car was something managed by the lower ranks, and you wouldn’t find Reyes involved. It was only by chance while collecting cars at the dealership that Lin Miao met him and mistakenly thought he was the boss. A casual chat revealed his identity, but it was only limited to knowing the name, no reason to be that warm otherwise.
Reyes’s business and reputation weren’t as big as other middlemen’s, but he had a good eye, and the person in front of him spoke in a way that suited his taste, making him comfortable.
Of course, the most important thing was that during the chat, Lin Miao ’accidentally’ revealed to him that his people would settle outside the city in a few months, anywhere from a few hundred to over a thousand, making money inevitable, at least dozens or even hundreds of vehicles in a big deal. Who wouldn’t want to make money?
