After half a lifetime of navigating the world, the system tells me to be a good big brother!

"When you guys were talking about this at the barbecue stand, I was planning to get involved."

However, the conditions weren't right back then, so I didn't say anything. Now that we're on Qing Ge's and my turf, if I don't seize this opportunity, wouldn't all these years have been wasted?

Old Niu explained to Liu Heng, his eyes constantly raising his eyebrows at Li Qing.

Li Qing found it amusing to watch the old ox making funny faces.

Liu Heng's business is not really easy for Lao Niu to get involved in, since he only deals in parts.

And for Li Qing, it's actually the same.

Even though he has already finalized a motorcycle deal with Liu Heng, it is impossible for him to get involved in the business of transporting vehicles to the plateau.

Although Li Qing's involvement can mitigate some of the risks in their business, his share will also be taken away.

Therefore, when Lao Niu introduced the business before, Li Qing never had any intention of getting involved in the subsequent business.

He just wanted to sell off a large number of cars as quickly as possible, and the current situation with Lao Niu is the same.

Seeing the two men, Lao Niu and Liu Heng, staring at each other, Li Qing stepped forward and broke up their standoff.

"Alright, you two, stop fooling around. So men really are boys at heart, huh? Mature a bit!"

Li Qing offered a word of advice, then pulled the two of them by the arms and led them outside.

"Brother Liu, I've marked all the motorcycles you just picked out."

When we come back after dinner, I'll have someone put all these cars aside.

"We should go out for dinner now. Not only is Old Niu hungry, but I'm hungry too."

Li Qing was really hungry. He hadn't eaten breakfast, and by noon, he had spent over an hour with Liu Heng inspecting the car.

Strictly speaking, it's already afternoon now, almost two o'clock.

They led the two to the outside showroom, where they saw Xiao Guo introducing a Huanglong 600 to someone.

"Xiao Guo, call me if anything comes up!"

"Okay, Brother Qing!" Xiao Guo replied without thinking after hearing what Li Qing said, but then he immediately remembered something.

He turned to the two people who were looking at the car, said something, and then went straight to Li Qing and whispered something to him.

"Brother Qing, wait a minute. Let me confirm the lowest price you can offer for that Huanglong motorcycle so I can prepare my sales pitch!"

Li Qing was annoyed after hearing this and reached out to pat Xiao Guo on the head.

"Holy crap, what do you mean by 'deceiving'? We're just using reasonable talking to make reasonable money!"

Li Qing then thought about it carefully and quietly told Xiao Guo the price of the Huanglong 600.

Only then, amidst the teasing smiles of Lao Niu and Liu Heng, did they walk outside again.

"You're a good young man!"

Li Qing smiled at Liu Heng who was speaking but didn't say anything.

The three of them came to the door together and then stood there.

Because all three of them were considering one question: how should they get there?

Just as they were all struggling with their decision, Li Qing spoke first.

"I know what you two are thinking. Don't move your cars, ride in mine. We'll have a drink later. I'll just leave my car at the restaurant; it's safe to leave it there."

Old Niu understood what he meant the instant he finished speaking, but Liu Heng, who was standing next to him, was still puzzled.

Li Qing didn't explain anything, and led the two of them straight to his Cherokee, which he had been reluctant to part with before.

When Liu Heng saw the car in front of him, his eyes widened.

Although there were many of these cars more than ten years ago, they are now very rare to see on the market.

Li Qing didn't take Liu Heng's reaction seriously and patted the car twice.

"Don't doubt it, this car, a '97 model, is only five years younger than me. Hehe..."

Liu Heng gave Li Qing a thumbs-up. "Got it, passion!"

"What sentimentality? I'm just broke!"

Li Qing drove the two of them straight to a restaurant and treated Liu Heng to a whole donkey feast, a local specialty.

As the three spent more time together, their relationship grew increasingly harmonious, thanks to cigarettes and alcohol.

Meanwhile, Li Qing used his Insight skill on Liu Heng during his free time.

The colors are a mixture of light red, gold, and gray, with gold making up the largest proportion.

Looking at Liu Heng's three colors, he gained a deeper understanding of him.

The appearance of the light red color made him realize that Liu Heng was probably like him, having not committed any major offenses, but having committed minor offenses that were not serious.

Gold indicates that the person in front of you has done good deeds. The fact that gold is darker than the other two colors shows that this person should be considered a good person.

As for gray, he still doesn't understand what this color specifically represents, and he will have to continue to observe it.

After getting to know Liu Heng better, and with the lubrication of alcohol, Li Qing became much more relaxed in her speech.

As they continued chatting, they unconsciously drifted into the topic of business once again.

"Brother Liu, you must have made a good profit from transporting cars to the plateau this time!"

Liu Heng paid no attention to Li Qing's question and answered it naturally.

"It's definitely quite profitable. I've calculated it carefully, and the total profit from this trip can reach 50% of the cost."

In other words, if all costs are added together and the total cost is 10,000, I can make a net profit of 5,000.

However, there are also considerable risks involved. One is the high cost, and the other is the excessive uncertainty.

Even if all the truckloads can be sold, transporting the livestock back will still be a problem.

As the saying goes, "Even with a fortune, livestock doesn't matter; if this animal gets into any trouble on the road, my losses will be considerable."

Li Qing listened to what Liu Heng said and nodded repeatedly, confirming that what the other person said was indeed true.

When transporting livestock, if something goes wrong on the way, it won't just be one animal; these things are contagious.

Thinking of this, Li Qing's somewhat江湖气气 (jianghu qi, a kind of chivalrous spirit) kicked in. Although he couldn't guarantee the safety of the livestock, he could at least provide insurance for Liu Heng's vehicles transporting them to the plateau.

"Brother Liu, since this business is so risky, I'll get you some insurance."

Before you leave, bring all your cars to me, and I'll check them all over for you.

You know how good my skills are from that batch of cars; this is the only thing I can do to help my brother!

Liu Heng, who had been drinking, was already somewhat sentimental due to the alcohol, and after Li Qing's words, his eyes immediately reddened.

"My spirit, brother, is all in the wine, no need for further explanation!"

It has to be said that Liu Heng was already quite drunk, downing two ounces of liquor in one go.

He turned his empty glass upside down in front of Li Qing as a gesture, then poured himself a fresh glass.

"Qing, this time it's on your and Lao Niu's side. Next time, after we get to Quancheng, you can decide how your brother will arrange things!"

We'll make sure everything is arranged perfectly for you two. If one girl isn't enough, we'll call two, and if two aren't enough, we'll call three.

Anyway, I can arrange a whole room for you so you don't have to get out of bed all day!

Li Qing was both amused and exasperated by Liu Heng's words, but Lao Niu's eyes were practically shining with delight.
