Hearing the gift, Owen stops and looks at Ning Xiaodong in doubt.
Ning Xiaodong kept smiling: "I heard that you are going back to the United States, so I specially made a gift for you." Then he took out a tin box.
Owen immediately stood up and could not help that foreigners still valued the gifts, especially the customized cakes and rings. Anyway, no matter what the customized ones were, they were tall. They were afraid that it was just a small gadget. They would be very happy, because what they saw was not the thing itself, but the heart.
So before Ning Xiaodong took out the things, Owen was so happy that he didn't know what to say. He looked at Ning Xiaodong and laughed: "Ning, my good brother, I never thought you would give me a gift. This is the first gift I received in China. Really, no matter what, I'm very happy."
Then he went up to give Ning Xiaodong a warm hug, and directly blinded Ning Xiaodong. He said that the foreigner was so excited to receive a gift, and he still hugged himself. Didn't he just look at the things in the box? What if it's shit?
Just when Ning Xiaodong was stunned, the tin box in his hand had been taken away by Owen. Then he gathered in his hand and shook in front of Ning Xiaodong's eyes: "is it in the box? There are still words on it. Is it calligraphy? It's beautiful, but I can't understand it, but it doesn't matter. Let's guess what's inside is very heavy. It's not your tea or candy, is it? Good stuff... "
Owen said, opening the box with his hand. It turned out that it was neither tea nor candy, but a piece of metal covered with gauze.
But Owen didn't care. He opened his eyes immediately and exclaimed, "Oh, my God!"
Then he looked up at Ning Xiaodong, who was still confused: "F-14!" Then he looked down at the model in the box, especially the eye-catching white skeleton on the vertical tail. He was so excited that he called several Oh, my God!
"Well Do you like it or not? "
Looking at Owen's gaffe, Ning Xiaodong was a little afraid. If he was too excited, what should he do? It would be a foreign affair, so he asked quickly.
"Yes, very, very, very much. Ning, I'm sorry, but your gift is the best one I've received this year. You didn't know that my cousin was a pilot in the 84th fighter squadron of the US Navy. You perfectly copied the painting of their squadron's" pirate flag. "
Ning Xiaodong put his heart down when he said this. He didn't expect that this thing would be given to the right person. He thought that Zhuang Jianye was just trying to be domineering. He didn't expect that he was right.
To Zhuang Jianye throw a cow ~ ~ forced eyes, Ning Xiaodong will lean on the chair, while watching Owen with a child in the hands of the model.
The model is about 50cm in shape. It's made of metal and a little heavy. As Owen said, it's copied from the pirate flag of the 84th fighter squadron of the US Navy.
It's not that Zhuang Jianye didn't know what to do, but this painting has always been a classic painting in the field of F-14 model, which is fierce, domineering and high-grade.
It's different to think that Owen has relatives serving in this squadron.
In fact, it's true. On the family open day of the U.S. Navy the year before last, Owen was lucky enough to board the "Nimitz" aircraft carrier and saw the complete aircraft painted with pirate flag. At that time, he thought it was very beautiful and wanted to experience it. Unfortunately, without this project at that time, he could only circle around the fixed F-14.
Later, he heard that there was an F-14 model in the hangar selling pirate flag painting, so he rushed to buy a treasure. As soon as he ran to the hangar, he was told that the goods had sold out, so he had to go back bitterly.
Fortunately, because of the convenience of the pilot, my cousin got him some aerial photos of their Squadron, which didn't let him return empty handed.
Although in the past year or so, when he thought of the missing model, Owen beat his feet and chest and scolded the US Navy for not being more prepared.
But I didn't expect that a year later, in distant China, he received the F-14 fighter model painted with pirate flag. How could he not be happy.
So he just put it in his hand and completely forgot that there were still two guests in the room. As a result, he found a crack in the back of the machine and poked it with his finger.
Listening to the sound of "pa ~", the back of the plane immediately lifted a board, which startled Owen. He thought that the model plane was broken, so he went to check it. As a result, his eyes lit up immediately. He immediately pointed to the board of the plane. With Zhuang Jianye and Ning Xiaodong excited, he said: "decelerator, oh, my God! How did you do that? "
"The landing gear, cockpit cover, variable sweep wing and tail nozzle are all copied according to the real aircraft and can move; Oh, by the way, even the engine can be disassembled." Zhuang Jianye did not answer how to do it, but said other movable parts.
Owen didn't go to find out what Zhuang Jianye asked or didn't answer. He immediately followed what Zhuang Jianye said. He used his hand to pull the bucket here and where. He was like a discoverer of the new world. He always accompanied Oh, my God! It's a strange cry.It was not until the bottom cover of the rear compartment was opened that two engine models were taken out. Ou Wencai excitedly looked at Zhuang Jianye and Ning Xiaodong: "this gift is really wonderful. It copies every detail of the F-14 perfectly. I really want to know if there are any similar models. I want another one."
"Yes, but..." Ning Xiaodong wants to pull the topic to other places, but as soon as he opens his mouth, he is interrupted by the excited Owen: "how much is it?"
"The factory price is 200, but..."
"200 dollars? Oh, my God! It's so cheap. You don't know, those plastic pimples in the U.S. Navy cost 450 dollars. "
Owen interrupted Ning Xiaodong again, then counted out ten green hundred dollar bills from the drawer and patted them on Ning Xiaodong's hand. He said apologetically, "I have so many. First, buy five for me. I'll take these as gifts and give them to my family. I believe they will like them very much."
Ning Xiaodong just felt hot and dry all over his body. He said that 200 yuan is a kind of people's money, but it turned out to be US dollar, which is also 200. The value of the two is very different.
That's all right. Owen came up and shot a thousand dollars, a thousand dollars. He'd seen a thousand dollars, but it's the first time he touched a thousand dollars. A thousand dollars, foreign exchange, what's the exchange rate? Ning Xiaodong's intuitive head is a little short-circuit.
Ning Xiaodong can't see the money. Seeing the confused appearance, Zhuang Jianye knows that he was stunned by the money again. It's only a thousand dollars. As for it!
I had no choice but to do it by myself. Then I pointed to the model and asked Owen, who was still excited: "you just said that the same type in the United States can buy 450 dollars?"
