Chapter 899 A Satellite Phone with a One-Click SOS Function
Cohen already knew that Niu Xiaoqiang and Barbara were acquaintances, so he didn't hide it: " Niu Xiaoqiang thinks my satellite phone is very good, and I want to match one, originally I was unwilling, because this kind of satellite phone can not be used by ordinary people, I want to find those security personnel to ask for an ordinary version to give him, but then I think about it and I think it is very inappropriate, in case those guards learn about my car accident, and then tell my parents, I will be finished, think about it, I think it is better to take this satellite phone in your hand to give away, anyway, you don't need it, it is a waste to put it in the drawer, it is better to give it to me, let me take it to give away。 ”
Barbara looked at her brother with a suspicious look: "This is a phone specially equipped by the security department for special people, you actually want to give it away, aren't you afraid that your parents will teach you a hard lesson after they find out?"
Cohen explained: "Didn't my parents always ask us to be friends with those very good people? I think this Niu Xiaoqiang is very good, and his temper is also very good for me, although I just met him yesterday, but I feel as close as he has been a good friend for many years, otherwise I would not have given him your satellite phone." ”
Cohen's parents were not the kind of people who hated the poor and loved the rich, and the main reason why they asked their children to be friends with the elite was because they felt that it would allow the elite to influence their children and make them very good.
The couple has worked in China and knows more about Chinese culture and thought, and they even know the story of "Meng's Mother's Three Migrations". According to them, this is called "those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black" in China, and it is very beneficial to the growth of children.
Barbara nodded slightly after listening to her brother's words: "Niu Xiaoqiang is indeed very good, it's not a bad thing for you to socialize with such a person more, it is estimated that your parents will never object, but the satellite phone we use is a bit special, if you really want to give it away, I suggest you still tell your parents in advance, lest they say you are too casual afterwards." ”
Cohen hesitated, "What if I tell them and they don't agree?"
Barbara laughed: "It's just a satellite phone, they won't be stingy, of course, provided you get rid of the one-button call function." ”
The satellite phones of the two have a one-button distress function, as long as you open the flip cover on the satellite phone, and then press the red button, the distress signal will be sent, and the security department will immediately locate the satellite phone after receiving the signal, and will send the most elite security personnel to the rescue.
If Cohen doesn't eliminate this function and send the phone to Niu Xiaoqiang, it will be difficult to explain it to the security department in case of a false alarm.
Cohen hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed to his sister's proposal and dialed an encrypted number.
After a few minutes, Cohen hung up the phone: "Mom and Dad really agreed to my request, and I'm going to eliminate the one-button SOS function." ”
It's as easy as removing the red button. If Niu Xiaoqiang didn't know that this satellite phone had this function, he wouldn't want to fix this button.
To avoid false alarms, Cohen first removed the battery from the phone before disassembling the red button. It didn't take much effort for him to finish.
At half past three in the afternoon, Cohen was carrying a handbag containing a satellite phone and smiled at Barbara, "Barbara, can you send me there?"
Barbara was idle, sitting in the living room reading a book, and when she heard this, she stretched: "Anyway, I don't have anything to do, I can send you over." ”
The siblings arrived at the Packard Motor Company just before four o'clock, both of them were here for the first time, and they were both stunned when they saw the mottled wall outside the workshop.
"Is this really Packard Motor Company?"
"If the house number matches, there should be no mistake. ”
"Yes...... But where is it like a car company?"
"Maybe it's going to be different inside, let's go in and have a look. ”
The brother and sister walked to the gate together, looked around a few times and couldn't find the doorbell, so they could only reach out and tap the rusty iron door. Unfortunately, the environment in the workshop was a little noisy, and no one heard the sound of the two banging on the door.
After a while, a mechanic covered in oil happened to come out to smoke, and when he saw two strangers standing in front of the iron gate, he couldn't help but hesitate: "What are you doing?"
Cohen's tutor was not bad, and he politely stretched out his right hand, but as soon as he stretched it out, he felt that something was wrong.
The other man's hands were covered in black grease, and if he shook hands, Cohen was afraid that it would take some effort to clean his hands.
Thinking of this, Cohen retracted his hand a little embarrassed and said with a smile: "We are here to pick up the car, and the Lamborghini you are repairing is the car I want to pick." ”
The worker sighed, not very angry at Cohen's first hand and then withdrawing his hand, he smiled: "The car has been repaired, and you can see it through the side door." ”
Cohen thanked him and walked into the workshop through the side door with Barbara.
Niu Xiaoqiang was still fiddling with the equipment in the laboratory, but fortunately, Packard was working in the workshop. When he saw the Coen brothers and sisters coming, he hurriedly called Niu Xiaoqiang out.
Niu Xiaoqiang got the news and walked out of the laboratory with a smile: "I didn't expect your brother and sister to come over together, let's go, come to the office with me for a cup of coffee." ”
The two did not refuse, and when Niu Xiaoqiang finished brewing coffee, Cohen handed over the handbag: "This is the satellite phone I promised to give you, you take it, by the way, this phone is free, no matter whether you call or answer the phone, you will not be charged." ”
In this era, satellite phones are also charged, and calls are charged, and the cost is not low, not that the rich really can't afford it.
Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't help but feel even happier when he heard that this satellite phone could be used for free: "Thank you for your generous gift, with it, it will be more convenient for me to do business in the future." ”
Cohen couldn't help but hesitate when he heard this: "You don't want to continue to be a technician, are you ready to do business on your own?"
Niu Xiaoqiang smiled embarrassedly and explained: "There were too many people last night, I can't say too much, there are no outsiders now, I naturally don't need to hide anything, in fact, I have already started a business, and this Packard Automobile Company is one of the companies I control." ”
