Chapter 18 Selling gold cakes [please ask for monthly tickets]
Zhou Ruotong posted this to Moments this morning:
“I accidentally came across a beautiful ancient style B&B in the mountains. The design is very good. The scenery is super beautiful, and the food is amazing! You can find it by searching Fengming Valley B&B in the navigation.”
Below the text are pictures of the sunset and evening scenes taken yesterday, as well as detailed close-ups of the courtyard and food. Brother Dao’s photos make people want to experience it just by looking at them.
You have to be a cultural person to be so attractive.
Li Yu sighed with emotion, liked the post, and then sent a message to Zhou Ruotong:
"Thank you for helping to promote it. You like eating chestnuts, right? Say hello in advance next time, and I will go to a nearby village to buy one. The big free-range rooster and the stewed chestnuts taste great.”
In the orchard next to the royal tomb site, Zhou Ruotong, who had just gone to work, was preparing for detection.
After receiving the WeChat message, she replied with a smile:
"I have been busy exploring the underground recently. I may not have time to find you for a meal these days."
After sending the message, she took another photo of the pile of detection equipment next to her.
It is said to be an equipment, but it is actually a Luoyang shovel made of steel pipes. There are screws on the head of the steel pipes, which can be connected one by one.
With different shovel heads, a variety of detection effects can be achieved.
When Li Yu saw the photos sent, he immediately remembered the plot in "Ghost Blowing the Lamp". He asked enthusiastically:
"How did you find the detection point? Isn't that right? Just like in the novel, rely on the compass and gold to determine the acupuncture points?”
Zhou Ruotong posted a photo of the last time he did the detection:
“We don’t rely on metaphysics, we rely on technology and manpower.”
In the photo, hundreds of workers are working together in a wheat field. Standing in rows, about two meters apart, everyone holds a Luoyang shovel in their hands and is exploring downwards.
This kind of scene where man can conquer nature suddenly washed away the mystery in Li Yu's heart.
After finishing the chat, he went upstairs and took out the gold cake. He checked it on an electronic scale and found that the weight was 247.5 grams.
You have to remember this number and check the scale first when selling. After all, the difference is hundreds of dollars per gram, so don't be careless.
"Brother Dao, keep a good watch on the door at home. I'll go to the city."
The golden retriever had breakfast and was having a great time holding a dog self-pleasure toy. .
Li Yu changed his clothes and rode an electric tricycle out, heading straight to Yinzhou city.
In a simple private house near Wuyi Road, Huang Tao, who had been recuperating for a few days, finally recovered a little, and the whip marks on his face were much lighter.
He was sitting cross-legged on the sofa piled with dirty clothes, chattering about his plan:
"Sister, my method is absolutely foolproof, and Li Yu is so handsome, you will take advantage of sleeping with him. Why are you so coquettish? "
In front of the counter opposite, stood a woman with exaggerated measurements, with her big burgundy waves particularly conspicuous. She was Huang Tao's sister Huang Li.
While pulling her clothes from the cabinet, Huang Li responded to Huang Tao's words:
"Stop pretending here. Is this what I'm fussing about? Please make it clear, and the matter is settled. How much will you pay me later? I won’t do it for less.”
The brother and sister had been arguing for several days about how to divide the money. Huang Tao originally planned to just give him a token amount. Anyway, Li Yu was so handsome, so Huang Li would not suffer any loss.
But Huang Li feels that this kind of opportunity to make a fortune is relatively rare, so she will give it a 50-50 chance.
And she is also Sun Facai's nominal girlfriend, so she has a lot of love and reason.
The brother and sister were in a stalemate. Huang Li planned to retreat in order to advance, saying that she would pack her bags and leave Yinzhou today and continue to join the young anchor in the filming shop.
Now Huang Tao was panicking, fearing that Huang Li was really gone.
Forced coercion has failed, and now the only way to go is the honey trap. He doesn't want to really fight. In that case, wouldn't the last beating be in vain?
Seeing that his sister didn't let go, Huang Tao took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took one out and lit it:
"Tell me the number, how many do you want? No more than 50-50. After thinking about it, this is absolutely impossible. "
After you get the contract, you have to find a lawyer who likes to collect black money, imitate Sun Facai's handwriting to sign a transfer contract, and then sign the contract with the seller, and among them, A lot of people have to be managed before the transaction can be completed.
If Huang Li came up and took 50% of the money, it would be a waste of time.
Huang Li thought for a while and then said:
"Give me 200,000 yuan. If it works, I'll go. If not, I'll take the high-speed rail in the afternoon."
Huang Tao took a long puff of cigarette in his mouth:
"Okay, I agreed, but you have to get the complete set of procedures for the scenic spot, otherwise I won't give you a penny... We, brothers and sisters, will settle the accounts clearly, so don't cheat when the time comes."
“It’s a deal! Just remember to drive me to the B&B in the afternoon.”
"Okay, no problem!"
Huang Tao had an excited smile on his face. With the help of my elder sister, this matter will definitely be settled.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Li Yu drove an electric tricycle to a relatively prosperous commercial street.
Finding a parking space on the side of the road and parking the tricycle, he walked straight into a roadside shop marked Gold Recycling. "Welcome, feel free to take a look."
The store is not big, but there are many gold jewelry on display, most of which are rings, earrings, bracelets and so on.
The shop owner is a middle-aged man with thin hair, probably in his fifties, dark and thin.
Seeing Li Yu come in, he said hello, then held up his phone and continued watching the black stocking JK dance video on Douyin.
People are old at heart... Li Yu lowered his head and looked at the gold jewelry on the counter, then looked at the sign next to it that said gold recycling, and then asked:
"You Do you accept gold here? ”
When the shop owner heard this, he immediately gave up the young lady on the phone and said with a smile on his face:
"Take it, as many as you want."
Li Yu took it out from the inner pocket of his jacket. Gold Cake:
“Weigh it first, I’ll look at your scale and then decide whether to sell it or not.”
This is the third recycling store he has visited. The owners of the first two stores They were also very enthusiastic and talked about some rules of gold recycling, but their scales were not very good.
For a 247.5-gram gold cake, one family weighed out 235 grams, while the other weighed even more, less than 230 grams.
If the scales from this store don't work, Li Yu plans to trade with those who come to collect them online.
As soon as the shop owner heard this request, he placed the electronic scale on the counter with a smile:
“Have you encountered someone who is playing tricks? Gold has risen sharply in the past two months, and some people in the same industry have Greed also swells, and those who play tricks on the scale will not achieve great things."
Li Yu put the gold cake in his hand on the scale, and a number immediately appeared on the electronic screen:
247.5.
It’s exactly the same, not bad.
"How is it? Is there anything wrong with my scale?"
After the shop owner finished speaking, he put on a pair of thick-soled glasses, picked up the gold cake on the scale pan with both hands, and observed it carefully.
After watching it for a while, he placed it on a nearby operating table and used a spray gun-style tool to burn the surface of the gold.
"The surface of gold will oxidize and be easily stained by sweat and stains, so before looking at it, we will burn it to burn off these dirty things, so that it is easier to identify the color of the gold."
While the shop owner was busy, Explaining.
Li Yu didn’t bother him either.
After the gold cakes were burned, the shopkeeper started to test again, seemingly to check the purity of the gold.
After working for a while, he said to Li Yu:
"Today's gold price is four hundred and thirty-four, but we don't care about the source here, so the purchase price will naturally be lower. Three hundred and nine, if you want to sell it, I will take it. If you don't sell it, I will find another place."
"Can't it be higher?"
It's actually less than 400, which is a bit lower than Li Yu's psychological expectations.
The shop owner took off his glasses and put the electronic scale back to its original place:
“The business of gold recycling has always been based on market trends. If the gold price reached 480 a few days ago, I would definitely give it to you. You pay more than four hundred.”
"Okay, let's sell it."
"Okay!"
The shopkeeper calculated the amount of money and said with a smile:
"Originally it was ninety-six thousand For one thousand five hundred and twenty-five yuan, I will directly give you ninety-six thousand, and I will make up the lucky numbers.”
You are really good at doing business, and you actually know how to make up the lucky numbers... Negotiate the price, Li. Yu began to think about the supplies he wanted to buy.
The electric tricycle is too small, so it definitely can't hold too many things. You may have to ask the merchant to deliver it to your door, or ask a huolala to help transport it back.
The payment was successful and Li Yugang was about to leave. The shopkeeper quickly handed over a business card:
"I hope there will be opportunities to cooperate with my brothers in the future. I not only accept gold here, but also other hard currencies. Help, and the price will guarantee your satisfaction.”
Li Yu took the business card and saw a name printed on it:
Jin Mantang.
Is this name copied directly from the Spring Festival couplets?
He put away his business card, turned around and walked out.
Jin Mantang watched Li Yu leave, picked up the gold cake again, rubbed it a few times, and said to himself:
"Looking at the style, it should be the gold cake of the Han Dynasty, and there is something new in Yinzhou territory. A gang of grave robbers? Fortunately, I didn’t offend him just now. People like this kill without blinking an eye. They might bury me someday.”
He shrunk his neck, picked up his phone, and looked at JK on Douyin again. Miss...
