Magical Realism

No wonder I came to Bogota first instead of flying directly to Medellin. It turned out that I came here to buy things.

Now Gao Guang knows that this is indeed an underground shopping mall, but he still doesn't know what Frank is going to buy here, but he followed the boss Sebastian for a few steps, and he saw a small shelf and a camera on it .

There are all kinds of SLRs, there are few with long lenses that follow the gun barrel, but there are several. As for the ordinary-looking SLRs, and those small digital cameras, really I can't count how many there are.

Sebastian went to the shelf and picked up a backpack, opened it, took out a single-sided camera with a long lens and said, "I just robbed a photographer yesterday, a football reporter who came with the visiting team, no Who are you robbing him for, all the camera bags are robbed, and there are all camera equipment in them, if you want, I will give you all five thousand dollars."

The camera is Canon, but Gao Guang doesn't know the model, because he doesn't understand cameras at all, but he knows that this kind of camera is very expensive, but he doesn't know if five thousand dollars is worth it.

Gao Guang translated Sebastian's words, and then Frank reached out for the camera, looked at it, shook his head and said, "The complete camera package will save me a lot of work, I need other things, is there a professional-grade GPS? ?"

"There were a few, and I got word that I had someone break into a store that specializes in outdoor equipment, but it was only Garmin."

Sebastian led Frank two steps, pointed to a shelf and said, "Electronic products are all here, see what you need."

Frank took a few glances, frowned and said, "Is there no military-grade GPS?

"It's hard to get military-grade GPS. You should go to an arms dealer. I basically only have civilian products here."

Frank heaved a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "Then Garmin, let me take five, one thousand dollars, regardless of the model."

"Can."

Sebastian was very happy. He didn't consider the price difference between different models at all. After agreeing to Frank's offer, he said with a displeased face: "The telescope is ready for you. There are not many of them. I We could only purchase temporarily, but there was a rookie among the buyers, he was too nervous and shot and wounded a security guard, and now I have to spend money to settle this troublesome matter."

After half complaining and half showing off, Sebastian waved his hand and said, "I've contacted the seller in Medellin for you for the gun you want. Please call this number when you arrive. Don't worry. The seller is definitely reliable and has been my partner for many years."

After Sebastian finished speaking, he took out a note, and Frank took it, then nodded and said, "Thanks."

There are boxes one after another on the shelf, and the boxes are full of binoculars, and the binoculars are all big-name products. After Gao Guang saw it, he couldn't move his eyes away immediately.

Swarovski, Zeiss, and Leica are the least expensive telescopes, but Gao Guang took a look and saw at least seven boxes. As for the slightly more affordable Nikon, Bosco, and Celestron telescopes most.

It feels like entering a treasure house, but I just don't know the price.

Gao Guang couldn't help looking at Frank, and after a cursory glance, Frank said without changing his face: "What price?"

"Old rules, half of the market price, the most expensive one is Leica, which is 4,000 dollars, I suggest you buy it, and the four Zeiss ones are all 2,500 dollars, and the two Swarovski ones are two for you. Thousands of dollars, these telescopes are hard to come by, don't miss your chance."

Frank touched his chin, finally nodded and said: "Okay, the price is very fair, what about the walkie-talkie? Is there a military-grade walkie-talkie? It must be waterproof. We are going to the rainforest."

Sebastian shook his head and said: "You have to find an arms dealer for military-grade walkie-talkies. It is difficult for me to purchase the walkie-talkies you need, but there are too many civilian-grade walkie-talkies. As long as there are models in Bogotá, you can tell me, and I will buy them in the afternoon." can be purchased."

Every term that Frank and Sebastian said had to be translated by Gao Guang, so after translating Sebastian's words this time, Gao Guang added a sentence.

"What does he mean by purchasing?"

Frank thought for a while, and said, "Stealing, and robbing, just tell him I'll check the inventory."

Sebastian pointed to a container, Frank looked at it, and then quickly said: "Motorola Digital Saber II, give me five units, it's too late for you to purchase."

At this time, Gao Guang looked at a bunch of white boxes, and after a few careful glances, he was shocked to find that they were tablet computers, laptop computers, and fruit phones.

Brand new unopened, piled up in a pile.

Now Gao Guang felt that Fruit 8 was really not delicious, so he said to Frank again: "Can I ask the price of those things myself?"

Frank smiled and said, "Whatever you want, you will get a preferential price."

Gao Guang pointed to the pile of electronic products and said, "How much are those new mobile phones and computers?"

Sebastian looked at Gao Guang and said, "Half the price, retail only, if you want the full price, we can talk about it."

Gao Guang let out a breath, and then he whispered to Frank: "Can I buy a computer at my own expense?"

Frank shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "There are many good things here. If you want to buy them, wait until our operation is over. If you still care about saving this little money then."

Gao Guang froze for a moment, then he nodded.

It's really poor and short-sighted, and I don't even think about the success of the treasure hunt. Who cares about saving hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Gao Guang despised himself fiercely, but when he looked at the piles of stolen goods again, he still found them very attractive. There was nothing he could do. After getting used to being poor, it always felt like a waste not to pick up the cheap ones.

John didn't want to buy the cheap goods here, he just looked around casually without saying a word, and he seemed to be much more promising than Gao Guang.

There are only a few things that Frank wants to buy. After taking all the things and paying the bill with a credit card instead of cash, several people don't even need to take things, because Sebastian will send someone to deliver the things to the hotel.

After a short delay, I bid farewell to Sebastian, and after leaving this veritable underground shopping mall, Gao Guang couldn't help but said: "This is really an underground shopping mall, I'm just curious, who is Sebastian? "

Frank said lightly: "He controls the black market in Bogota, and he has the largest gang of thieves under his command. Almost all stolen and robbed things will be sold to him. Of course, he can't control all the thieves and robbers. Private transactions are It is inevitable, but if there is a thief or robbery group who is unwilling to trade through him, then wait for death."

Gao Guang nodded and said, "Understood, gang boss."

Frank curled his lips and said, "You can think so, but he actually has an open identity, that is, the deputy director of the Bogota Police Department who is in charge of theft and robbery cases."

Gao Guang was silent. After a long time, he smiled wryly and said, "Well, the country of Colombia is indeed quite magical, which is why a great writer like Marquez was born. I understand."
