Chapter 28: Chinese guy, stupid!
Inside the cafe, it's still noisy and bustling.
Several couples sipped their coffee and engaged in heated conversations; a few company employees laughed and discussed business.
On this side, Daniel and Edyardo were openly flirting with their girlfriends, seemingly not taking Yi Feiyang, the Chinese guy, seriously at all.
Two hundred thousand US dollars, how can this Chinese guy take it out?!
No need to waste words on him anymore.
Bunny Bill and Fat Jack looked at Yi Feiyang's movements with tension, hoping he would immediately reject the price.
My god, 200 thousand, not 2 hundred yuan, 2 thousand yuan!
To know in Los Angeles, USA, $200,000 is enough for you to buy a decent house in the suburbs.
Yi Feiyang's fingers lightly tapped on the desktop.
His fingers collided with the desktop, producing a rhythmic melody of "dang dang dang".
Suddenly, the thudding sound stopped.
Yi Feiyang said: "Alright, I promise you! Two hundred thousand is two hundred thousand!"
Daniel, who was joking with his girlfriend, stunned Ediardo.
Yi Fei's sidekick Bill and Jack were also stunned.
Several people looked at Yi Feiyang with some incredulity.
To Daniel and Ediardo, this Chinese guy is a big fool, spending 2 million to buy the DV copyright from his own hands, it's like he has water in his brain.
Bill and Jack almost fainted, 200,000 yuan, where can we get it?!
……
There was a silence of three seconds.
"Alright, buddy, we like people like you!" Daniel smiled, "Two million, as long as you can pay, the copyright of this play will be sold to you!"
"Ah, one hand with the money, one hand with the goods!" Ediado chuckled. "I'm just afraid you're all talk and can't even produce a single copper coin!"
Scoff!
Tease!
The two girls beside her also burst out laughing.
Bill and Jack felt very embarrassed and awkward.
As for Yi Feiyang, he rubbed his brow with his fingertips and said, "Wait a minute, I'll make a phone call!" He got up and left the seat.
Behind them, Daniel and Edyardo whispered unreservedly.
"This Chinese idiot is quite convincing!"
"Can Chinese guys also learn from others and make movies?!"
"Wait and see, let's see what tricks he has up his sleeve."
"What kind of nonsense is this? You're just trying to find an excuse to get out of here!"
……
"It's easy, let's just go!"
"Yes, 200,000 is no small sum!"
Bunny Bill and Fat Jack caught up with Easy Fly, saying worriedly.
Yi Feiyang smiled and said, "We have a Chinese saying that goes 'wealth and honor are to be found in danger!' Now is an opportunity, I see it, so I will definitely not give up!" After finishing speaking, he walked straight out.
Bill and Jack stared at each other in dismay. "Opportunity? Bullshit opportunity! Can a low-budget DV film really turn things around?"
In their opinion, Yi Feiyang was looking for his own death!
……
Yi Feiyang walked up to the public phone booth and inserted a coin.
The phone connected, and on the other end came Camel's aged voice: "Hua a you?!" (Who are you?)
Camel's father speaks English, and even God can't stop him.
Yi Feiyang was taken aback.
"Is it Camel?"
He stared blankly ahead.
"Is it Ayang? You rascal called without a reason and made me, an old man, speak English."
"Haha, Camels are diligent and studious, worthy of admiration!"
"Cut the crap!" Old Camel said, "Speak up, kid! What brings you to me?"
"Borrow money!" Yifei Yang said bluntly.
"Borrow money?"
"Two hundred thousand!"
"Two hundred thousand? Ah!" Camel's old man let out a belch.
"In three months, I'll return 400,000 yuan to you!"
"Four hundred thousand?!" The other head let out another belch.
"You can think about it, but only for three minutes. I need your answer in three minutes!" Yifei Yang said and hung up the phone.
Camel: "You..." The other end of the phone was silent.
"I'm going to scold your mother! This kid really doesn't give face, I hadn't even finished asking him clearly and he already hung up the phone!"
The two Generals Ha and Ma standing with their hands clasped together beside him.
"Is it that little brat again?"
"It's eight or nine."
"What's so good about being worried?"
"Two hundred thousand, what a staggering sum!"
……
Camel's father was really worried, thinking of the past when he held a watermelon knife and rushed from Tuen Mun to Los Angeles in the United States. It can be said that he had gone through nine deaths and one life, and what big winds and waves had not been experienced? But now, it's really hard for him to settle down.
"You're right, 200,000 is not a small amount!" Old Camel stroked his chin and muttered to himself. "This kid really gives me face, opening his mouth with 200,000, he really takes me for a bank owner!"
"Camel, don't bother with him! He's just a small-time hoodlum!"
"Camel, just treat him like a fart, don't take it to heart, 200,000, he's dreaming!"
……
"You guys don't understand anything!" Camel's anger flared up, "High investment, high returns, get it? 400,000 in three months! This is no small sum! If what he said was true, I'd have stumbled upon a rare opportunity to make a fortune! Even if he's cheating me, I can settle the score later; but if I miss this chance, it'll be gone!"
"Camel's wisdom!"
"Camel brother is mighty!"
"What a load of nonsense! What a ridiculous bird!" Camel Old Man said indignantly, "You're just good at flattering people, can't you use your brain for once? What's that kid's plan, daring to speak so boldly?"
"Camel, may I ask... what does 'big talk' mean?"
"Is this an idiom?"
Camel: "......?!!"
"In short, you've reminded me, today I'm going to take a risk! 2 million is it? Alright, I'll give it to you, let's see how you pay me back 4 million in three months!"
"Camel, don't go!"
"Camel, think thrice!"
"Don't be cheated by camel's father!"
"Camel's father, don't be adventurous!"
……
"Damn it! A real man doesn't even dare to bet 200,000, what a joke!"
"Go now and give that kid 2 million, in cash! And also bring a lawyer over, do you understand what I mean?"
……
Yi Feiyang returned to his seat in the coffee shop. Dennis said rudely, "How about it? Buddy, 2 million, can you take it out?"
"Give me half an hour and the money will be delivered on time."
"Half an hour? Haha, you're not kidding me? Alright, I'll give you the time. Anyway, Ed and I have nothing to do, so we can just wait a bit longer... Who's that again? Do you still want coffee or maybe order some steak? Mr. Yi is treating!"
In response to Dennis's mockery, Yi Feiyang snorted in disdain. Bill and Jack didn't believe that Yi Feiyang could raise $200,000 in such a short time.
Yes, no one would believe that a guy who has been in the US for only three months and was still washing dishes at a Chinese restaurant just a week ago could be so generous as to spend $200,000 on buying the rights to a DV!
The United States is no stranger to miracles, but ones like this are few and far between.
The clock began to move again.
The pointer started jumping again.
Everything in the coffee shop seemed unchanged, the bustling still bustled, and the laughter still laughed.
"Hey, Eddie Yao, do you think that Chinese guy can raise $200,000?"
"How do I know? But one thing is clear, if he raises that sum of money to buy our copyright, then he's a thorough idiot! If he can't raise it, then he's just a shameless scoundrel!"
"Hah, are you saying we're expecting him to be a sly ghost or a fool?"
"What do you think?"
"Haha, old brother, does this even need to be said? Of course I hope he's a fool. 200,000, oh my god, I've never seen so much money!"
Nicks and Edy were both excited to meet this silly Chinese guy, they thought it was a miracle, especially that such a miracle would continue to develop, which made it even more interesting.
Time began to move again, slowly passing by.
Twenty minutes flew by in an instant, and Dennis and Edyardo were already certain that this Chinese guy was talking nonsense.
"Bullshit! You said 200,000, where is it? Do you really think we're idiots? We've been waiting for so long!"
"Yes, you must have an explanation!"
Just as Dennis and the other two couldn't wait any longer to question Yi Feiyang, the coffee shop's door opened and a black-clad Chinese man walked in. He looked around and then walked straight up to Yi Feiyang, "Camel's master ordered this, it's the money you wanted!"
He opened the bag he was holding and a large bundle of green US dollars rolled out.
Everyone in the entire cafe was staring at this scene, staring at Hei Yī Rén and Yi Fei Yang, stunned.
Everyone knows that Chinese people in the United States are wealthy, like to save cash, and put cash at home, stuffed into their pockets; today is considered a big eye-opener, $200,000 in cash, wow, dazzling their eyes!
