"Ah...this."
Lin Xiaozhe was completely dumbfounded.
To be honest, he didn't want his cousin to lie to him.
I don't need that little bit of rebate.
Compared to money, having a close friend in such a cold metropolis is worth more than any amount of money.
But the cold, hard scene before him slapped him in the face.
He considered the other person a friend, but the other person saw him as a lamb to the slaughter.
Seeing that Lin Xiaozhe was silent, Lin Xiaolong thought he thought the computer case was too expensive.
"Xiaoze, a good computer case is very important. You said your computer is a production tool for someone like you who does live streaming. How can you use a regular junk case?"
Lin Xiaozhe sat down and nodded indifferently, somewhat lost in thought, without responding. He thought for a moment, and realized that it wasn't unreasonable for people to make a little money in business.
Let's take another look and not rush to conclusions.
By this time, some viewers in the live stream had already noticed.
This Hualong Sun God computer case is fake, a counterfeit. It costs less than 200 yuan online, but Lin Xiaozhe sold it for 1,000 yuan.
[Good brother, good friend, yeah.]
Do you even realize the value of growing up together, like wearing open-crotch pants?
Why do I feel so happy when I see streamers get scammed?
[This guy is so dark-skinned, even though we're from the same village.]
"Brothers, don't worry. Maybe he just got married and business is bad lately, so he's under a lot of financial pressure and wants to earn some money for baby formula or something. Don't rush him. I guess he might rip you off on the case, but the rest of the parts are definitely all made with the real stuff."
Lin Xiaozhe regained his confidence in his old friend.
"Xiaoze, I considered that you do live streaming and your computer needs a lot, so I got you a powerful i7-7200 that costs 2,300 yuan. Is 2,000 yuan enough for you? I'm selling it at a loss."
After saying that, Lin Xiaolong put the CPU aside.
Lin Xiaozhe glanced at the CPU, which was priced at 230 yuan, and fell silent.
After listing all the configurations, the computer, which cost 20,000 yuan, netted Lin Xiaozhe 18,000 yuan.
This is way too shady!
This is practically killing me.
Seeing that Lin Xiaolong was going to such lengths to ruin him, Lin Xiaozhe decided to show no mercy either.
Actually, Lin Xiaolong was a little uneasy. He admitted that he had messed up a bit this time, but this computer was fine for playing games, and Lin Xiaozhe shouldn't be able to tell.
It might experience some lag, and the game graphics might be a bit low, but it's still usable.
When Lin Xiaozhe asks again, just make up some excuse; it should be fine.
As Lin Xiaolong was thinking this, he turned his head and met Lin Xiaozhe's burning gaze.
His heart skipped a beat. Oh no, did he find out?
Lin Xiaolong panicked a little.
Lin Xiaozhe slowly sat down, squinted, and said, "Xiaolong, do you really think I don't understand computers?"
Lin Xiaolong realized this was bad news. He was afraid he would lose face. He thought he should just cut ties and never see Lin Xiaozhe again, since Lin Xiaozhe was a good-for-nothing and had no value as a friend.
"Xiaoze, I admit that the computers here are a tiny bit more expensive..."
"Is it expensive?" Lin Xiaozhe asked directly, his eyes sharpening.
Lin Xiaolong felt a little scared.
He didn't realize it. Lin Xiaozhe used to look introverted and sullen, with a cowardly appearance, but today he seems much more approachable.
He had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
However, Lin Xiaozhe's next words almost made him lose his composure.
"Tell me, is this 20,000 the amount you gave me after the discount?"
Lin Xiaolong's mind went blank, and he was a little stunned, staring blankly at Lin Xiaozhe.
"I knew it."
"We're brothers, so you should have given me at least a 50% discount on these things."
Lin Xiaozhe put his arm around the bewildered Lin Xiaolong's shoulder and patted him, saying, "With our relationship, would I let you suffer a loss?"
"Your business is already bad, and you recently got married, so you have a lot of expenses. Don't give me such a big discount."
"Alright, this computer should be worth about 50,000."
Lin Xiaolong's inner thoughts.
Holy crap, there's an unexpected bonus.
How has Lin Xiaozhe survived this long with his brain still intact?
No, the more important question is, how did he manage to have an IQ of 50,000?
Does his IQ really deserve 50,000?
Is this a joke?
Lin Xiaolong forced a smile and said with a straight face, "Xiao Ze, don't joke around. It's 20,000 without a discount."
Lin Xiaozhe waved his hand, giving him an "I understand" look.
"Okay, okay, the machine costs 20,000, and the installation fee of 30,000 is not excessive, is it? You are such a big boss, and you are personally installing the machine for me. 30,000 is not much."
Lin Xiaolong: "..."
He admitted that at this moment, as a heartless and unscrupulous merchant, his rock-solid moral compass was actually somewhat unstable, and he even felt a little guilty.
If you calculate it that way, he actually made a net profit of 48,000 yuan from just one computer.
He still felt that this was a bit outrageous, and that Lin Xiaozhe must already know the price of the computer and was deliberately teasing him.
Upon realizing this, Lin Xiaolong immediately understood and was about to expose Lin Xiaoze's conspiracy when Lin Xiaoze slapped a card into his hand.
There are 600,000 inside.
"Install ten more."
"When I have a million followers, I'll give my fans a treat."
"There's only one requirement: you have to install it yourself. Is that alright?"
Lin Xiaozhe crossed his legs and said casually, highlighting that he was a fool with too much money, looking for a scam.
Lin Xiaolong was stunned, staring at the card in his hand in shock for a long time.
He never imagined Lin Xiaozhe would be so successful, spending 600,000 yuan on a computer.
His annual profit isn't even that much.
"Big business, no problem, no problem at all, haha." Lin Xiaolong said with a forced smile.
Suddenly, a question came to his mind.
Millions of fans?
Could he be...?
Lin Xiaolong leaned over and glanced at it, discovering that Lin Xiaozhe's live stream had 800,000 followers and over 60,000 viewers online.
He was struck dumb.
With so many people watching, it's impossible that none of them understand computers. What would happen if Lin Xiaozhe found out he'd cheated him out of 500,000 yuan? Would he face jail time?
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaolong was stunned, and the bank card in his hand felt like it was burning hot.
What are you standing there for?
"Hurry up and install them. Ten computers shouldn't take too long, right? I want to take them back today."
Lin Xiaozhe urged.
Lin Xiaolong could only smile wryly and nod in response. His mind was in turmoil, and he picked up a computer case in a daze, about to install it, when he heard Lin Xiaozhe making a phone call.
"Hey, Captain Yan, oh, it's me. You said that old man who staged an accident got a ten-year sentence? Ten years is too short. It should be at least twenty years."
"Society is too lenient with these old men, which makes them so fearless and disregard the law and morality."
"Anyway, I will never forgive anyone who dares to lie to me in the future."
"Clang."
With a sharp crack, Lin Xiaolong was so startled that he dropped the computer case he was holding to the ground.
