Chapter 7: The Golden Hunter

The sky is clear and the sun is shining.

Yesterday there was a sandstorm, and the entire summer city was covered with a layer of yellow sand.

Through their hard work, the hard-working sanitation workers have transformed the city in just one morning.

It's not been a few days since the beginning of the school season, and the weather is good today, many idlers come out to shop, and some businesses are engaged in promotional activities, which makes the market very lively.

The nearby gold jewelry mall on the pedestrian street gathers a lot of gold jewelry brand stores, occupying half of the alley, also known as Jinbao Lane.

In addition to the five well-known brand chain gold stores, there are also some gold stores and jade jewelry stores that have not made a brand awareness in China and only established a brand and reputation in the province.

And most of those small gold shops that are petty and not well-known are actually opened by some gold hunters.

The so-called gold hunter is a local name for those intermediary merchants who resell gold, jade, jewelry, and antiques, these people have generally been engaged in this industry for a long time, have a wide range of channels and contacts, and most of the paths are between the gray edges, and have their own set of ways to make money.

At this time, in front of a small gold shop in Jinbao Lane, an electric car was parked there.

A casual T-shirt top, narrow slacks, and a pair of casual sneakers, but they are all miscellaneous bargains that are sold at a discount in the mall for no more than 100 yuan each.

After Xu Ran walked into the Xiaojin store in this dress, he did not encounter the contempt of the female clerk who was only eighteen or nineteen years old and dressed in youth and fashion.

The girl had a little surprise on her face, and quickly threw down the mouse and got up to greet her: "Brother Xiao Ran, why do you have time to come here today, are you coming to see me?"

Xu Ran avoided the girl's overly enthusiastic little coquettishness, and knocked a finger on her head: "Don't make trouble, I came to find your brother and sister-in-law to have business, are they not there?"

The girl was knocked on the door of her head, and pouted with some dissatisfaction: "My brother went out to save goods, and my sister-in-law is nagging her best friend in the cosmetics store!"

With that, the girl quickly picked up her phone and sent a message.

After a while, a woman with Qi Liuhai's short haircut, brushed perm, melon seed face, willow leaf eyebrows, standard length, fashionable fashion, black lace, and long legs stepped into the store.

This woman's name is Yuan Xiujuan, Xu Ran's classmate, she entered the society to work after graduating from high school, and married Du Dongping, another high school classmate of Xu Ran, two years ago.

Although the young couple opened a gold shop here, they have actually been gold hunters for four or five years.

"Yo, what kind of wind blew our Xu Dacai today?"

Yuan Xiujuan entered the store and saw that it was Xu Ran, and teased very casually and enthusiastically, but seeing that Xu Ran was still standing, she couldn't help but scold her little sister: "Why don't you move a stool for Brother Ran and pour tea, why is the dead girl so blind?"

"Aren't you boiling water?"

Du Dongling muttered in a low voice, and moved a stool to Xu Ran.

"Don't be busy, you just play your LOL and go!"

Xu Ran said politely casually, the girl made a grimace at him, sold a cute one, and ran back to the computer to continue to cross the tower to send people's heads.

"They are all big girls who are about to get married, and they are still selling cute faces with others!"

After Yuan Xiujuan complained about this sister-in-law, she smiled and said to Xu Ran: "Xu Ran, how is the business of the online store recently?"

"That's it!"

Xu Ran responded casually, and before he could say what he meant, he saw an H5 stop at the door, and a young man with a trendy hairstyle, hair wax, a slightly thin figure, and a well-dressed young man got out of the car.

Du Dongping's expression was not very good, and after entering the store and seeing Xu Ran, a smile appeared on his face: "Xiao Ran, you are here, little sister, hurry up and make tea for your brother Xiao Ran, and go to my treasured Tieguanyin!"

Xu Ran said: "Pingzi, don't be so polite to me, I've only been in for five minutes!"

Yuan Xiujuan saw her husband coming back empty-handed, so she interjected and asked, "What's the matter, I didn't save the goods?"

"Don't mention it, the market has been good recently, Lao Zhang has received a batch of goods, but he doesn't give me any profits, he still wants to give me the price, I plan to go to Brother Yang in the afternoon to have a look!"

Yuan Xiujuan frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Yang, if we can't get the goods again, how can we explain to the customer tomorrow, they have paid for the order!"

Du Dongping waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about this for now, and then think of other ways!"

Xu Ran heard the difficulties encountered by Du Dongping, and said: "Pingzi, I came to you today, I have a few pieces of gold jewelry here ready to sell!"

Du Dongping looked surprised: "Brother, don't you joke with me?"

Xu Ran didn't say much, took out a small box and put it on the table, and said, "It's all inside, take a look, I need money urgently!"

What is Xu Ran's situation now, Du Dongping knows very well, he opened the box in disbelief, and saw a few rings and necklaces inside.

Yuan Xiujuan came over, and after seeing those jewelry, especially the diamond ring, she couldn't take her eyes off: "Xu Ran, where did you get it, it looks like the color is very good, and the diamond ring, the diamond is translucent and crystalline, the color is extremely positive, and the signature goods in the brand store are not so good!"

Du Dongping took a magnifying glass and carefully looked at each piece of jewelry one by one, and then hurriedly ran to get a professional testing instrument and put it on it for testing.

The results of the test made him very surprised, and he was surprised: "Xiao Ran, where did you get it, who sold you such a good product at a discount?"

Xu Ran said: "You know that I usually collect some old goods and come back to renovate them and sell them in the online store, these things are hidden in the belly of an old goods, it's just lucky!"

"That brother, you've really hit a lot of luck!"

Du Dongping praised them, weighed the gold necklaces and rings respectively, and said: "Brother, these pieces of jewelry are full of color, the style is very novel and unique, and they don't need to be melted and redesigned.

Xu Ran knew that Du Dongping naturally had a way to operate these jewelry into a big brand gold store, but he said: "Pingzi, since the things are given to you, you can just watch how to operate, you can just discount them to me at the market price......

"This ...... Not really, right?"

Du Dongping was a little hesitant, mainly because the relationship between them was usually better, after all, Xu Ran's current economic conditions were relatively poor, he had no car or house, and he was disliked and pressured by his girlfriend's family, he didn't want to make his brother's money.

Yuan Xiujuan saw through her husband's thoughts, and said: "Pingzi, didn't Xu Ran say it, he needs to use money urgently to sell this batch of jewelry, such a good product, whether we are classmates or brothers, human favor belongs to human favor, and business still has to distinguish between public and private......"

In fact, Xu Ran didn't pay too much attention to these gold jewelry, in the fragmented city of mysterious space, there was still a lot of gold waiting for him to collect.

He came here today to explore the way with gold jewelry and find a reliable person to cooperate with him to help him ship in the future, and secondly, to sell a few pieces first and get some money for emergency use.

He still agreed with Yuan Xiujuan's words, nodded and said: "Pingzi, what Juanzi said is right, business is business, you don't have to take our relationship into account, your brother still has to settle accounts!"

"Okay!"

Du Dongping is also a decisive person, since the ugly words have been said in the front, he is no longer hypocritical, and said: "Xiao Ran, the three gold necklaces and four gold rings will be given to you at the current recycling market price of 280 yuan per gram."

The color and design of the two platinum diamond rings are very good, the diamond quality color is very positive, completely above D, a total of 2 carats, this kind of superb is a hot and sought-after item in any jewelry store, and it is also very valuable for investment collection.

However, I can't afford these two diamond rings with my current financial resources, but I can help you operate them to the big brand store next door, and I know the general manager of that store very well, so I should be able to give a very good recycling price......"

After speaking, Du Dongping said to Yuan Xiujuan: "Juanzi, the gold necklace and ring will be transferred to Xiao Ran now, and I will take the diamond ring to talk to Mr. Chen next door, Xiao Ran, what do you think?"

Xu Ran still trusted Du Dongping, and after nodding in agreement, Du Dongping went out with the diamond ring.

Yuan Xiujuan weighed the necklace and ring, with a total weight of 54.49 grams, a total of 15,257 yuan, and directly transferred the account to Xu Ran with online banking on the spot, which was very profitable.

After the transfer, Yuan Xiujuan was in a good mood and smiled very charmingly: "Xu Ran, if you are free tonight, I will treat Pingzi and Pingzi, and then call Qiangzi and them, how about everyone get together?"

However, after Xu Ran heard this, his face sank.
