017 One week is worth another year

Put away the cash and follow the waiter upstairs to check in the business room for $5 a night.

The next morning, Li Changheng checked out directly, went out to get into a taxi, and complained in Spanish in the car about the bad things in the hotel just now.

The driver understood and recommended a hotel. In this way, Li Changheng took a taxi into a hotel. When he checked the room, he checked for $100.

Then when the other party check-in, he took the cash to the place where he made a special call on the grounds of making a phone call.

A few minutes later, he hung up the phone as if he was depressed, walked to the door and asked the doorman about the address of the hotel he checked in yesterday, and then left with a suitcase with an apology.

And what he asked the doorman was soon heard by the lobby manager.

The manager immediately understood that Li Changheng was embarrassed just now, so he didn't ask him. As for why Li Changheng left when the room was opened,

With a little bit of imagination, you will know that it must be the other crew members who have moved into the hotel that is grabbing the business.

It is not surprising that Li Changheng, the deputy captain, will be affected by the captain.

The lobby manager was dissatisfied and looked at Li Changheng, and he was even more angry with the non-existent captain and the hotel Li Changheng stayed at yesterday.

After a day, Li Changheng went around thirty hotels, and in addition to spending $100, he received 3,000 US dollars in cash.

Unfortunately, although Rio was also a tourist city at this time, its scale was not as large as that of later generations, and there were not so many high-end hotels for him to withdraw money.

Going to a low-end hotel is neither in line with his captain’s identity, and people may not accept foreign checks.

At night, on the most famous beach in Rio, I blew the sea breeze and ate a seafood meal, and my eyes swept back and forth on the 4,5-kilometer beach.

From time to time, I saw a Latin American girl with an explosive figure. He wanted to stay for a few days to relax, but after thinking about it, he went to the airport for safety reasons and took a short flight to Sao Paulo, the largest city in Brazil.

Then, just like when I was in Rio, every time I entered a hotel, I would exchange it for $100 first.

However, this time he did not make excuses not to check in. Instead, he wasted a deposit of ten dollars and stayed in an ordinary hotel room for half an hour before leaving for another house.

Doing this can greatly dispel the hotel's suspicion. When the hotel finds out that he has not checked out, it will be at least one day or two days later. At that time, he has long been in St. Paul.

In two days, after walking around thirty hotels, Li Changheng took $2,600 and left Sao Paulo, and went to Brazil's third largest city, the city of El Salvador that he used to lie before.

When he left after making another $2,600, he had only 10 checks left on his checkbook, but he had $8,200 on his body.

About a week before and after, I got a middle-class family in Los Angeles and earned a year of income.

In the wealthy area where he worked with Frank before, the best houses cost about 300,000 US dollars, and the medium-sized ones cost between 80,000 and 150,000.

Houses in middle-class communities are only between 10,000 and 50,000.

In other words, if you go around rich Latin American countries such as Argentina and Chile, you can buy a 200-square-meter three-story villa, and a villa with a large lawn.

Even if he targets the bank, his income will double or two.

The money is so easy to make, he doesn't know whether he should stop.

As for jewelry, coffee, fur, etc., he had to go back to the United States to sell it. At this time, he had already made several times the money.

While staying at the airport and waiting for the plane to fly to New York, I saw a variety of airplane toys hanging in the toy shop in the toy shop on the floor-to-ceiling glass next to the aisle.

There happened to be a pan-American blue earth logo on the rear wing of a 707 aircraft.

Seeing this, Li Changheng was stunned at first, then walked into the toy store in great joy and spent 5 US dollars to buy this toy plane that was obviously much more expensive.

Then, enduring the excitement in his heart, walked into the airport bathroom, closed a partition door, and immersed the toy plane into the water storage tank.

More than ten minutes later, the Pan American trademark soaked in water was easily pulled down and posted on a blank check by him.

Slide this check into a novel for entertainment, press it at the bottom of the suitcase, then break the toy plane with one hand, carry the suitcase and leave the bathroom, throw the toy plane broken into two sections into the trash can.

Walk out of the airport and check into the hotel next to the airport.

Following the doorman into the luxurious single room, Li Changheng took out $5 banknotes and said to the doorman with his eyes glowing, "I need a typewriter, and it must be a multifunctional magnetic ink typewriter."

The door head hesitated, "It's okay to turn ordinary typewriters, but magnetic ink typewriters are just," said the author.

It is normal for a customer to borrow a typewriter for a hotel. The only thing that is troublesome is that the magnetic typewriter is usually used to fill out checks. The only one in the hotel is always in the finance room and is rarely loaned out.

But this is Brazil. When Li Changheng handed the five-dollar banknote to the doorman, then put a ten-dollar banknote on the table, the doorman immediately understood what he meant.

The magnetic ink typewriter was placed on the table, and the ten-dollar banknote was his.

For money, this matter is not a matter at all.

For Li Changheng, as long as his fake salary check is not exchanged in this hotel or in the city of El Salvador, with the backward communication system in this era, the news was known by the doorman in front of him, and it might be several months, or even one or two years.

Then the doorman can't remember his appearance clearly.

Half an hour later, a typewriter with a style different from a normal typewriter appeared in front of him.

The doorman who took away ten dollars of cash on the table asked flatteringly, "Do you need me to show you how to do it?"

"Yes," Li Changheng nodded. After 5 minutes, he saw the doorman off with his eyes lit up, and even put his mind to forge checks aside.

Find paper and pencils in the desk drawer in the guest room, traced the Italian trademark on the typewriter, and put it carefully in the pocket of the top.

Immediately, I called the hotel reception desk and asked them to help check the flight time to Rome.

I was lying on the bed excitedly, cursing myself that I had forgotten the fact that I had created objects by hand.

Of course, there are purely handmade products in the United States, but too high industrialization will lead to the bankruptcy of many handmade businessmen being squeezed.

In Italy, a country that is popular in manual labor and has a low degree of industrialization, it is really not too easy to customize a typewriter with special requirements for customers.

And the hand-made typewriter ten years ago in front of you is the best proof.
