Chapter 18 Upgrade

But since I assemble it myself, it seems that I don’t need to go to Italy, just find a few metal processing factories in the United States, and even buy small equipment for processing if I have enough money.

After a while, this idea was quickly thrown aside by him. Things that could have been done with a few hundred dollars could cost thousands, or even tens of thousands, to buy equipment.

And after these devices have been used once, there is no use for them except to sell them.

After the typewriter problem is solved, maybe I should think about how to solve the problem of the check itself.

Going to the bank to open an account and getting a blank check is always going to be troublesome.

Thinking about it this way, I still have to go to Europe. In the movie, Frank used professional printing equipment to make countless real checks in the small town where his grandmother lived in France.

First to Rome, then to France.

After thinking this way, the first thing Li Changheng should do is to test whether the typewriter in front of him really meets his requirements.

Using the white paper with the format of the check, I tried to print the words and numbers filled in the check, and then looked carefully at the sun for several minutes.

Within a minute, a check was made for $289.15, which was written only because of the $300 limit set by Pan Am.

Then Li Changheng took out the book that was used to pass the time from the suitcase with anticipation, and saw the Pan Am logo on the toy plane, firmly pasted on the blank check.

Tried to scrape off the transparent plastic film on the trademark with a hard paper, but after several attempts, the blue trademark could not be completely separated from the film.

Wet it with water again?

He shook his head within a minute, and then a flash of light suddenly flashed in his mind.

In the bathroom of the deluxe room, find a hair dryer weighing at least two kilograms, and blow hot air at the Pan Am logo,

Half a minute later, a circular transparent film slightly larger than the thumbnail was gently lifted off with his fingernails.

In his eyes, the Pan Am Blue Globe trademark representing tens or millions of dollars was left on the check.

There is this trademark on the check, plus magnetic ink and formal printing format, and the captain's uniform, certificate, and flight license on him.

This check is a 100% Pan Am paycheck.

My first thought was to go to the airport and try to see if the newly created paychecks could be exchanged, but I shook my head after another thought.

He doesn't have a passport now, and even if he does, he doesn't want to leave a record of going abroad, so the identity of the pilot is very important.

At the Pan Am counter at the airport, just exchanging ten checks is equivalent to a wave of transactions, which may attract the attention of Pan Am and the airport, and the loss will be even greater in the long run.

If you really want to do it, you have to have a lot of blank checks in your hand, and try to get as much as possible within three months.

At that time, even if the bank and Pan Am find a way to identify it, or even change the style of the check, it will be a big deal to change the type of check to make money.

However, since the typewriter met the requirements, Li Changheng wanted to disassemble the typewriter and write down all the parts.

Ten minutes later, he walked out of the hotel in a shirt and trousers, wandered around outside the airport, and bought hardware tools such as screwdrivers, trapezoids, pliers, and measuring tapes.

On the way back to the hotel with anticipation, I suddenly saw a toy store, and my heart was moved. After the disassembled typewriter was restored, I had to try to see if it could be used, so as not to be suspected by the hotel.

In this case, simply make the other nine blank checks into salary checks and use them as cash reserves.

After wandering around again, I bought 9 toy planes separately in several toy stores.

Unscrew the rear wing of the plane and put it away, the toy plane was broken and scattered, and then returned to the hotel with a smile.

After dismantling the typewriter, he drew all kinds of parts drawings full of size data on the paper, and then restored the typewriter easily with his photographic memory.

I first tried it with a blank piece of paper cut into the size of a check, and then filled out all nine blank checks.

Four hours later, the phone rang, and the hotel front desk informed him that he was flying to Miami, then transferred to Rome, and took off in two hours.

Shaking his head, he got up from the bed, walked to the desk, and found the nine checks that he pressed in the book. As before, he blew it with a hair dryer and carefully scraped off the transparent film with his fingernails.

He wrapped ten Pan Am paychecks in an envelope and put them in his suitcase.

After washing up, put on a fake beard, black-rimmed glasses, dressed neatly, and left the hotel for the airport.

Wandering around in the airport lobby, walked to the Pan Am counter, asked for ten envelopes dedicated to Pan Am, went into the bathroom, and put the ten checks into ten envelopes.

Now no non-professional can see what is wrong with these ten checks from the check itself.

Five hours later, a Trans World Airlines plane landed at Miami's airport to refuel before heading straight to Rome.

During the two hours of free time waiting for refueling, Li Changheng stood on the second floor of the airport lobby and saw that there seemed to be a Pan Am hotel outside the airport.

Is this God helping me?

An airline like Pan Am actually started to expand its business early in the morning and run its own hotel.

In the future, going to a hotel to exchange a paycheck will be much safer and easier than exchanging it at the airport.

However, although he was excited, he did not leave the airport.

Before going to Brazil, he wanted to understand that he was an American at this time. If it was not necessary, committing crimes in the United States would never be a good choice.

There are so many countries in Europe, Latin America, and South Asia. Even if a country collects 10,000 to 20,000 U.S. dollars, it will cost hundreds of thousands to hundreds of U.S. dollars, which is enough for him to do a lot of things.

And after a little thought, you can understand that the crew members of an airplane are usually 3 pilots and 4 to 6 stewardesses. Pan Am has nearly thousands of employees flying all over the world. These employees are just needed to stay in the hotel, right? Group of fixed customers?

Since Pan Am has its own hotel outside Miami's airport, every European city with a huge volume of aircraft movements must also have one.

If you can go to Europe to get money, don't mess around in the United States.

Ten hours later, Li Changheng, who was sleeping soundly with a blanket covering his head, was woken up by a flight attendant from TWA.

As soon as I opened my eyes, my first reaction was to touch my fake beard under the blanket.

After confirming that there was no problem, he pulled back the blanket and thanked the stewardess. He thought that the pretty stewardess in front of him would want to ask him out, but he just nodded and left with a smile.

Li Changheng laughed at himself in his heart, put on his hat, and got off the plane with his suitcase.

When they walked past the exit, many people around them were excited and muttering about the topic of 'Princess Anne'.

Knowing Diana to the European royal family, he shook his head and left the airport without thinking about it.

Quietly took off the mustache, put the hat and black-rimmed glasses into the suitcase, went out to take a taxi and listened to the driver's introduction, and finally chose a four-star hotel in the center of Rome.
