I Found A Planet

Chapter 16 Restoring a Car

How to deal with it?

Looking at the bag of valuables in front of him, Chen Jin fell into trouble.

How to turn these things into available cash?

In fact, the things in this bag, except for the few pieces of gold jewelry, the five platinum rings, and the string of pearl necklaces, are worth a little money, so they are easier to sell.

In addition, items such as mechanical watches and diamond rings belong to the category of "luxury goods", but they are not only difficult to sell, but also tend to shrink greatly in value.

Especially diamond rings, the moisture is really too much. When you buy a diamond ring at a jewelry store, the weight of a few tenths of a carat will cost tens of thousands or tens of thousands, and the heavier ones will cost hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands. Like gold, it can not only preserve its value, but also has the potential to appreciate in the future.

But actually?

People who have bought a diamond ring will know it when they go to a jewelry store to return it. Not only will most jewelry stores not recycle, but even if they agree to recycle, the recycling price will be greatly reduced.

Even as low as 30% or 40% of its selling price.

Not even gold.

Those remarks about "diamond preservation" are simply a joke.

Therefore, the eight diamond rings in Chen Jin's hands will definitely not sell for a high price, and the value of giving them away will be even higher.

The value retention rate of mechanical watches is not high. In modern society, screens showing the time are everywhere. Except for a few upper-class people, who would need that watch that mainly plays a role of pretense?

The more than 100 mechanical watches in Chen Jin's hands seem to be made of titanium alloy on the front, and black carbon fiber on the back. They are waterproof, spring-loaded, coated with fluorescent coating, visible at night, and have 12 time scales. There is a second hand. After cleaning off the surface dirt, the appearance is very delicate, in line with ergonomic design, and it is very comfortable to wear on the hand.

"Although there are no gold-plated diamonds in it, with this appearance, it should be sold for 10,000 yuan a piece, right?"

...

urban area.

Fugui pawn shop.

"The workmanship and materials of this watch are okay, the shape is ordinary, and the brand has never been heard of. Is it made by a fake watch factory in China? 300 yuan a piece, are you right?" The middle-aged appraiser at the counter pushed Push the reading glasses on the bridge of the nose and said.

"Nani, 300 yuan?" Chen Jin was startled, are you kidding me?

"That's right, it's 300 yuan, should it be appropriate?" The other party asked with the face of a profiteer.

"It's not right, return the watch to me!" Chen Jin got angry, three hundred yuan, this is a watch from another world!

"Young man, go to another place and try it. If you can sell it for two hundred, I will take your surname." The middle-aged appraiser handed back the watch without hesitation, and said in a mocking tone.

Chen Jin turned his head and left with his watch.

...

at dusk.

When Chen Jin returned home.

Everything in his backpack was sold.

Gold rings, gold bracelets, gold jewelry...a total of seven pieces of 55 grams were sold for 15,200 yuan.

Five platinum rings of 13.5 grams were sold for 4887 yuan.

Of the eight diamond rings, Chen Jin thought about it and sold five of them with lower quality. The average price was 2,500 yuan per piece, and the selling price was 12,500 yuan.

None of the mechanical watches were sold... As expected, no bid was higher than 300 pieces.

Chen Jin kept the most valuable string of pearl necklaces at hand and did not sell them.

After a while, it will be the 25th wedding anniversary of his parents. They agreed to go to a photo studio to take a set of wedding photos. Chen Jin plans to give his mother a "surprise".

That is.

Through his adventures in different worlds, Chen Jin actually earned his first pot of gold. The total amount was 32,587 yuan.

Your sister's... MMP.

Chen Jin was so depressed that he wanted to hit someone.

After being busy for almost a month, the income brought to him by exploring different worlds was only more than 30,000 yuan.

Getting rich overnight turned into nothing.

The first pot of gold is not counted.

Co-authorship is the level of salaried workers who go to work and receive wages.

"Thirty thousand yuan, believe it or not, I will spend it for you in ten minutes?"

Shaking his head again and again, Chen Jin sighed: The road to poverty is easy, but the road to wealth is long.

I can only get rid of impetuousness, thinking that the future will be long.

...

Another world, the planet Hellfa.

Waited for about two days.

The exploration team led by the robot vigorously finally came back from Tris City slowly.

According to Chen Jin's request, he brought a "car" back.

They used the half-push and half-carry method, and five robots worked together to retrieve an abandoned car.

When they arrived at the Dakeng camp, the batteries in the five robots had all dropped below the safety line, and they hurried to charge at the charging pile. The charging pile was bought by Chen Jin from the earth, and there were five modified charging ports. The single-line charging power is 1 kW, which can charge up to five robots at the same time.

In addition, the high-energy battery charger and the connected power line also extend from the charging pile, with a power of 5 kilowatts, which can charge up to 10 high-energy batteries at the same time.

In short, this complete set of power transmission and charging equipment cost Chen Jin tens of thousands of yuan.

His eyes fell back to the "car" brought back by Dali and the others.

The car looks square from the front, but looks like a cross-section bullet when viewed from the side. It has two doors and four wheels. On the trunk lid, a pattern of blue angels was printed.

The whole car looks full of hydrodynamic design everywhere, showing the beauty of industrial lines everywhere.

Then scrape off the thick layer of dust covering its exterior, connect a water pipe from the bathroom, bring brushes and car wash liquid, and ask the robot to vigorously clean the car five or six times to make it look new inside and out.

Its sapphire-like color made Chen Jin very fond of it.

"Compared to it, Maserati, Bugatti Veyron and other luxury sports cars on the other side of the earth are nothing, right?"

But...it is not a luxury car, nor is it a sports car, it is just a private car that can be seen everywhere in this world, at least on the streets of Tris City, it is very common.

And it is a pure electric vehicle, and there are 10 large high-energy batteries weighing ten kilograms in the battery compartment of its chassis.

The overall weight of the car body is no more than 1.5 tons.

Coupled with an electric motor with a maximum output of 500 kilowatts (about 680 horsepower).

It is conceivable how powerful its power is and how strong its battery life is.

But this electric car isn't going to drive right away.

Due to long-term exposure to wind and sun, all four of its rubber tires are rotten, and none of them can be used!

The motor in the engine compartment, as well as the related transmissions and brakes, the engine oil and lubricating oil inside have aged and lost a lot, so they have to be disassembled and cleaned before refilling with new engine oil and lubricating oil.

So for the next few days, Chen Jin was busy repairing the car he named "Blue Angel".

He bought three pairs of tires with a diameter of 70 centimeters. To fit them, he had Dabao cut off 2 millimeters of the hub before installing the tires.

Then I bought seven or eight barrels of engine oil and lubricating oil, poured them into the cleaned motor, transmission, and brakes, started the car, and tried to start it.

"Buzz~"

The Blue Angel started successfully and is drivable, but there are still some glitches.

For example, if two of the four headlights are broken, they must be replaced.

There is a noise coming from somewhere in the engine bay.

The leather upholstery inside the car is severely rotted and damaged, and the smell is pungent and unpleasant, so it must be replaced.

Chen Jin had no choice but to go to the auto market in Shanghai City. He picked things out, bought replacement auto parts, and researched some knowledge about auto repair...

two days later.

The Blue Angel in front of him has been eliminated by him, and it can be used normally. The driving experience is many times better than that of his father's Passat.

Around the bottom of the big pit, he easily ran at a speed of 220 kilometers per hour, and he thought he was floating.

But the cost is also huge.

In order to repair this Blue Angel, Chen Jin actually spent nearly 40,000 yuan!

Not only was he penniless immediately, but he also owed a good friend more than five thousand.

Looking at the empty wallet and the single-digit balance in his Alipay account, Chen Jin was stunned.

He murmured, "It turns out that playing with cars costs so much money? What a big deal I have done."

He used to think: there will be no activities, and it will burn more money than playing with two-dimensional figures.

Now it seems that he is too young and has too little knowledge.
