ABT Chapter 0067 The Walk-in Customer

Li Fanyu was in a state of confusion.

Inside the X Modification Workshop, he pinched his waist and fiercely kicked the system panel.

After leaving Lin Lei's house, he took a taxi to the company, intending to understand the rules of the modification workshop.

Because the modification of Sha Feng that day had used up almost all the remaining materials in the system. So, he searched around the company, with the assistance of the security guards, finally gathering a pile of miscellaneous junk.

Yes, it was junk.

Things like abandoned wooden planks, car parts, several aluminum plates piled outside the workshop, and a few pairs of shoes picked up by the drain...

After sending away the security guards, enduring the strange smells emanating from these items, Li Fanyu exerted a lot of effort to move them into the X Modification Workshop.

After scanning with the system, Li Fanyu discovered the conversion rules of materials in the workshop.

The modified materials are divided into five types: metal, plastic, parts, plates, and rare materials.

Metal is easy, whether it's iron, copper, aluminum, or steel, they can be exchanged through the system's scan. The exchange rule is roughly one kilogram equals ten metal units.

Plastic and plates are the same.

Parts must be exchanged with discarded parts. Regardless of size, as long as it's a single small part, it can be exchanged for one unit. But if you put in a complete engine assembly, it also gives one unit.

Although it's a bit annoying, it's not the important part.

What's important is, what the heck are rare units! After decomposing all the materials in front of him, Li Fanyu was surprised to find that the rare category didn't increase at all!

After experimenting with more than twenty types of materials, and even contributing his own high imitation Casio worth seventy-eight yuan and nine cents, he still couldn't exchange for a rare unit.

This Casio, with a depth of one meter waterproof, needs to stop jumping at least twice a day, and the second hand has fallen off, happily wandering around under the surface glass.

Li Fanyu angrily shouted at the system panel piled up in front of him, "This doesn't count as rare, then what is rare?"

The cold system panel mocked him with silence.

After feeling frustrated for a while, he suddenly slapped his forehead.

He's really dumb. Why not ask the workers what they put into this workshop before it was utilized?

He quickly called Pan Qiang and learned that before this workshop was utilized, it mainly contained some junk ready to be sold for scrap and some office consumables.

Forget about the scrap items, they should be no different from what he just put in. But office consumables... could A4 paper be a rare item?

This sounded absurd. Li Fanyu went to the office area, took various consumables, and scanned them one by one.

Sure enough, A4 paper couldn't be exchanged for anything, so it was discarded.

Staples, staplers, obtained 0.05 units of metal, 0.1 units of plastic. Heh heh, as I thought.

Folders, keyboards, mice, desk lamps, toner...

It wasn't until Li Fanyu scanned a toner cartridge that the rare material category on the panel finally reacted.

Damn, does one toner cartridge exchange for one rare unit?

The cost of this modification is a bit high. It's worth noting that an ordinary toner cartridge on the market costs around a hundred yuan. This value far exceeds that of his already defunct Casio.

Li Fanyu felt a bit distressed.

Due to the limitation of material quantity, he didn't experiment with the cost of improving various values ​​of the vehicle. After cleaning up the workshop a bit, he returned to his dormitory, feeling frustrated.

The bright moonlight shone through the curtains, illuminating the face of this rustic man drooling in his sleep.

This guy didn't know, just modifying a car to international level I bulletproof standards would cost over a million.

In Brazil, a modification factory specializing in bulletproof cars takes 2-4 months to convert a car to level II bulletproof standards, at a cost of over three million for the modifications.

And the modified cars they sell directly multiply the original car price several times over.

During the recent Olympics, it's evident just how chaotic Brazil is. Due to the extremely poor security situation and frequent occurrences of armed robberies, Brazil's wealthy individuals have put in a lot of effort to ensure their personal safety. This directly led to a booming market for local bulletproof car modification and sales. A luxury car worth a million, after being modified for bulletproofing, would sell for approximately - five million. Despite this, there are still people eagerly buying them. Even political figures from Iraq are ordering from Brazil.

As for Li Fanyu, just considering the bulletproof modification alone, taking on a job in Brazil would earn him enough to buy several tons of toner cartridges.

The next morning, Pan Qiang called.

He said someone had seen the newspaper and news and was very interested in bulletproof cars. They came to the company to inquire if their vehicles could be modified for bulletproofing.

Li Fanyu was rather indifferent. Damn it, they must have seen the news and thought it was novel, coming here to mess around.

Modifying the car is fine, but I'll have to go buy toner cartridges to feed the workshop system.

He replied to Pan Qiang without much patience; it can be modified, and the modification fee is one million. With that, he hung up the phone.

Unexpectedly, just three minutes later, Pan Qiang called again: "Boss, that person just paid the deposit. He said he'll bring the car over this afternoon and wants you to start work."

W, T, F!?

Li Fanyu was dumbfounded. They paid so readily, did I quote too low?

No, I have to check.

He didn't really understand bulletproof modifications before. And upon checking, he was shocked.

After searching through all the web pages related to bulletproof cars, he learned that there are no companies in the domestic market that can modify vehicles for bulletproofing! Anyone with a demand for bulletproof cars has to send their vehicles abroad, such as to the United States or Brazil, for modification before bringing them back.

Aside from the modification costs, the transportation and customs expenses incurred in this process amount to over two hundred thousand!

Ah ah ah! I'm losing money!

Li Fanyu fiercely grabbed his hair - why does it feel so uncomfortable to let others take advantage of me?

No, I can't take this loss!

He quickly freshened up and took a taxi to the company. As soon as he entered the office area, he called Pan Qiang over.

"Give me the phone number of the person who just paid the deposit. I need to talk to him about some details," he said bluntly.

Pan Qiang immediately turned around and brought over the freshly paid deposit slip. Li Fanyu flipped through it and dialed the number left by the person.

On the other end of the phone, a rather magnetic voice sounded: "Hello, who is this?"

Li Fanyu organized his thoughts and said, "I'm from Zhengxin Company. You paid a deposit for bulletproof car modification at my company. I'm in charge of the modification and would like to discuss some matters with you."

The person on the other end responded, "Please go ahead."

Li Fanyu cleared his throat and said, "Well, it's like this. I'm not sure what level of bulletproofing you want for your car? According to international standards, the lowest is level I, and the highest is level IV."

The other side immediately asked, "Is there any difference? What level was the car mentioned in the news yesterday?"

Li Fanyu's eyes lit up. The other party didn't mention the price. This means they indeed have a demand for bulletproof cars!

Now's not the time to sit idly... ahem! Now's the time to raise the price. When else?

He quickly changed his tone to something akin to an old military doctor treating X disease, with a hint of arrogance, and said, "Well, the differences here are significant. Perhaps our manager didn't make it clear over the phone earlier. The price of one million is for the most basic level I, which can withstand direct shots from ordinary handguns. The car mentioned in the news, Sha Feng, has been upgraded to level II, capable of withstanding rifle and grenade shrapnel injuries. So, which level do you think you need?"

After a moment of contemplation, the other party hesitantly asked, "Do you have anything that can withstand homemade bombs or detonators..."

Ha, detonators?

Li Fanyu took a deep breath, thinking to himself: What has this person been through?
