Chapter 9 Underground Delivery Man
"Harry! You can't get away!"
Francie and Fitz ran after Harry, breathless.
But as a rich second-generation who has been doing fitness and boxing since he was a child, Harry runs faster than a rabbit.
It would be more accurate to say that Harry was leading the two of them in a circle rather than saying that the two were chasing Harry.
Not to mention that even if they caught up, they might not be a match for Harry, who had learned Sanda.
Carrying a small empty schoolbag, Charlotte looked for them for several times and finally saw them in the back playground.
At the end of the chase, Francie and Fitz were squatting, with their mouths wide open, panting like dogs.
Instead, Harry stood not far from them, looking calm and composed.
Charlotte came forward, patted Francie on the back twice, and said with a smile:
"Francie, you should practice harder!"
"Hoohoo! Shut up! Charlotte Parker! ... I don't hit you because you are a patient.
Besides, tomorrow is a holiday! Fitz and I still have to go out and make money! We don’t have the time to beat you two up!”
As he said this, Francie raised his middle finger towards Charlotte and Harry, and he felt that he was capable again.
"Money?" Charlotte's eyes lit up when she heard the word. She stared at Francie with a malicious smile.
The flickering expression on his face made Francie feel inexplicably guilty, and Charlotte opened her mouth to ask:
"Francie, I seemed to hear you say... make money?!"
Francie stood up straight, straightened her back and said angrily:
"This is none of your business!"
"Hehe~" Charlotte reached out and grabbed Fitz's underwear from the back and pulled it up hard. Fitz screamed and was lifted up by Charlotte and fell over.
As soon as he let go, Fitz, who was covering his crotch, fell heavily to the ground. He screamed in pain and curled up like a shrimp.
gudu~
After swallowing his saliva, Francie saw Charlotte in front of him with a smile on his face and confirmed again:
"Francie, Francie, I just heard you say that you have a little plan to make money, right?"
Looking at Fitz's flowered underwear still exposed, France's pupils trembled and her hand secretly reached out to protect her crotch.
"Don't take advantage of others!"
How could the nerdy Charlotte become so scary?!
"Surely we have a little plan to make money?!"
"Oh~?! What is that?!"
Charlotte also thought about making money, so he studied American criminal law. He finally came to the conclusion that tax evasion was the fastest way to make money.
Of course, this is not very realistic for him! After all, only rich people can evade taxes.
A penny stumps the hero.
The Parker family is very short of money now, and Charlotte is also making efforts to help them.
I even had the idea of imitating the movies and fighting underground boxing.
Undoubtedly, it is something that one would only do when forced to do so.
If the main purpose is to make money to supplement the family income, then there must be a reason and legal means that Uncle Ben can accept.
And now, France actually said he had a way to make money?
Charlotte was extremely looking forward to this.
"Okay, I'll tell you!" Two seconds later, lying on the ground and covering his crotch, France chose to confess everything under the pressure of Charlotte.
"There's a small job, a part-time job, which might be a little dangerous, but Fitz and I think it's worth taking the risk! Because they offer a high price~"
Charlotte rolled her eyes and said:
"Tell me the point, or I'll pull you up by your underwear and hang you on the school street light! Invite all the girls in the school to see your ugly appearance."
You are the devil!
"I'll tell you right away!" Francie, who felt humiliated by the scene, said quickly:
"It's a delivery! It's a delivery!"
"Delivery?" Harry, who came over, was surprised and reminded:
"Charlotte, I don't recommend getting involved in this kind of thing! This sounds like something related to gangster drug dealers. It's dangerous and complicated, and it's easy to go wrong! You might as well hand out flyers!"
Charlotte nodded. He wanted to get the money so that he could give it to Uncle Ben. Going to deliver goods to the gangsters? It would be better to rob the gangsters directly!
"No! No! No! Not for the gang." Feeling Charlotte and Harry's misunderstanding, France quickly explained:
“It’s like delivering food!”
"Delivery?"
That's it?
What a waste of my expression!
Feeling Charlotte's disdain, Francie's self-esteem couldn't stand it anymore, and she blushed and explained:
"This is not just a simple food delivery, it's an underground courier business! It's very difficult! There are time limits!
First, once an agreement is reached, the content of the agreement cannot be changed at will; second, no names will be mentioned; third, the package must not be opened..."
Realizing that the two still didn't quite understand, France patiently explained while holding her little Kun:
"Of course, we only do a small share of underground delivery, which is not dangerous. In fact, we mainly deliver food."
Charlotte shook her head speechlessly, and had no interest in what Francey was talking about, the underground takeout industry.
This is not as good as delivering food to the restaurant.
Instead, Harry pinched his chin and asked:
"Just the two of you? How are you going to deliver it? You need a car but there's none, you need people but there's none? Are you going to run to deliver it?"
France said:
“We both have electric cars.”
This year is only 2007. Steve Jobs just released the first generation iPhone at the Macworld conference, and the Internet is still in the 2.5G era.
Using apps to order takeout is still a fantasy for people about the future, and underground takeout is still in a special period where old customers place orders by phone.
It was also during this time that underground food delivery services emerged.
Of course, this is related to the fact that the underground delivery industry in New York is very developed. Although they often deliver some shady things, there are many rich people, and they are willing to find professional couriers to deliver things that can be seen by the public. This also leads to people often using underground express delivery services to deliver meals to themselves.
However, the commission for delivering food is very low and the frequency is high. In order to handle special foods, the waiting time is very long, so professional underground couriers are not willing to do the delivery work at all.
Even though they were unwilling, no one was willing, so the underground takeout business gradually developed and has finally reached a certain scale.
Compared to ordinary deliverymen of this period, they do not work for restaurant owners. They are more like the deliverymen of the future, who are only responsible for delivering food and collecting money. Of course... the underground platforms also take a certain commission.
In addition, underground deliverymen who are good at delivery will receive certain training and be qualified to become real underground couriers.
And France has a dream of becoming an underground courier.
Wearing sunglasses, driving an Audi A8 and speeding down the streets, shaking off the police, telling customers that as an underground courier, the mission must be accomplished.
Snapped--
Charlotte slapped Francie's wandering thoughts back.
“Let me ask you, do you make money?”
