Ren Jian originally thought that with the qualifications to "cooperate" with foreign capital, even if it was only a small cooperation, they would get a layer of tiger skin and save a lot of trouble. But the opposite seems to be true.

Thanks to the delay in the middle for a long time, that is to say, the resumption of production in the real sense is actually more than half a year. In more than half a year, it is impossible to say that there have been many loopholes in production and operation and even security. In addition, Director Gao did a really good job after taking over, at least everything was flattened on the books (even when Ren Jian was in charge of actual management, those loopholes were also flattened by Director Gao).

The end result of the search is that nothing is found. In other words, as it is usually believed, if a company can detect a big problem, it is basically the kind of problem that has been formed over the years and is difficult to change. This is the so-called accumulation of small amounts. The steel plant was originally a nirvana rebirth, starting from scratch, and the operation time was only half a year, in this case, there is a big problem impossible. Not to mention that there is such an effective manager as the senior factory director.

Fortunately, later the precious metals trading thing was separated. Although it was first in the name of a steel mill, it was not necessary to do so later. Anyway, smuggling of precious metals is a crime only when it is cross-border, in

So Ren Jian just complained for a long time. Of course, the deeper meaning is that because I was dragged down by these troublesome inspections, the realization of precious metals should be delayed a little.

Although Ren Jian knows that he has already gotten on the thief ship, but even if he gets on the thief ship, you still need to occupy a good position, right? In case the smuggling group breaks its tail to survive in the future, you don't want to become the "tail" that can be cut off. If you want to make meritorious contributions and perform well, it is not so simple. At present, he is not able to do the steel plant, and the only thing he can do is to find a way to sell the smuggled precious metals at a good price.

Unfortunately, this kind of thing is much harder to do than to say.

As mentioned earlier, such a few tons of precious metals, in front of such a huge market in China, are like small stones thrown into a deep pond, and they will not even make a splash. But this is based on the premise that it is sold below the market price. If you want to sell for a higher price, the situation is a little different.

It takes patience and skill.

Fortunately, they didn't come over to urge, so at least for now, Ren Jian is still at ease. After a few transactions, he now knows more and more about the metal market, and secretly becomes more and more surprised.

Because those precious metals are not ordinary goods.

Many people have a misconception that the price of precious metals is stable. For example, 100 grams of gold is the price of 100 grams of gold. In the same country, the price in place A is not much different from running to place B. After all, it's convenient now.

However, for the average person who buys gold as an ornament, it may indeed be true. If you think of it as an industrial raw material, then the situation is very different.

For example, the difference in price between gold, which is 99 percent pure, and gold, which is 99.9 percent pure, is definitely not 1 percent. So there may even be cases where the price of 99.999 percent gold may be several times higher than that of 99 percent gold.

Of course, this is a less exact example, but the rationale is the same. The reason behind this price difference is the difficulty. Because every grade of metal purity increases, the smelting technology and difficulty will increase geometrically. However, in certain industrial processes, or in laboratories, this ultra-high purity metal is required.

The precious metal ingots that Lu Wu brought back were all of the type with super high purity.

I don't know where he got it, but based on the current knowledge, the production of this high-purity metal ingot is definitely not an unknown small factory in a place where birds don't. It is only possible to come from high-end metal processing enterprises in large countries with strong industrial strength.

Although it may sound incredible. But if it's a smuggling syndicate, this little thing may be easy.

Ren Jian didn't know if the first batch of metal ingots he sold at a low price was of this type. But he knew that if he couldn't sell what he was holding at the best price, his future might not be bright. Maybe, just maybe, relying on Lu Wu's face or something, people won't take the initiative to clean him up. But if something goes out, there is a great chance that he will be thrown out of the blame. The black kind of pot.

At that time, even if Lu Wu is good enough to wear a pair of pants with him, he can't help him, so he can only watch him finish.

So for the time being, Ren Jian believes that he needs to use all his energy to do a good job of selling stolen goods - no, sales. Of course, in fact it was a good thing for him. After all, finding a way to sell things at a high price was his original ideal. From the beginning, he wanted to be a profiteer, not an industrialist. The most typical thing for profiteers to do is to buy low and sell high, on the contrary, manage enterprises and personnel, control costs, control capital flows, boost morale, and supervise sales...... He's not that good at it.

After Lu Wu answered the call, he was still a little confused. Why did Ren Jian call to complain? When he encountered targeted examinations or something, he didn't think he could do anything. In fact, on Earth, he is just an ordinary civilian, and his influence on the operation of this kind of government department is infinitely close to zero.

So he quickly put the matter behind him. He believed that with the ability of a master, no one could find any loopholes, this is a god.

His attention quickly turned to Amber.

Because he was on the phone, Amber had been drawn to the front of a circle.

As mentioned earlier, it's not too late, and although it's already winter, the weather has unexpectedly warmed up in the past two days (for a place like W City, this is a lot), so today is exceptionally warm and there is no wind. It's a great opportunity in winter. So tonight, there are a lot of people in the square.

In front, is a playing party.

It's the kind of amateur team that you can see at a glance. About seven or eight people, together form a small band, and each one uses one instrument. When Lu Wu called just now, it was playing here.

Coincidentally, the amateur team played the famous song that Lu Wu and Amber had just enjoyed in the concert just now.

The difference between professional and amateur can be fully expressed at this time. Although it was the same song, and at least Lu Wu didn't hear any obvious mistakes, the difference in the feeling of sounding was simply a world of difference. If one can score 100 points, it is a question whether the other can score 10 points.

But the band still attracted Amber.

It's unclear what attracted Amber to them, maybe the amateur band wasn't pure music, but had a lead singer. All the members of the amateur band form a semicircle, and a young girl stands in the center of the semicircle. She was dressed in a very casual way, but she had a microphone in her hand and a speaker next to her.

It must be said that this kind of amateur small band self-entertainment form of performance, at least Lu Wu is the first time to see it. However, there are a lot of new things these days, and it is not a big deal to have this kind of team.

However, the so-called amateur is amateur after all. Not to mention Lu Wu, who has just enjoyed a first-rate professional performance, even the other passers-by around him are obviously not attracted by the level of music, but by this new thing. After all, this kind of band is much more interesting than those square dancing aunts in the distance.

This lead singer is obviously also an amateur, and her singing level, even if she comments on the level of a layman like Lu Wu, is not high. But on the other hand, she did a good job, because she has been working very hard to mobilize the emotions of the audience.

When the music turns, she will pull an audience member from time to time, hand him the microphone, and ask him to sing two lines.

Most adults are reserved or shy in this situation, and usually avoid such opportunities to sing. But children are different. Several children were very enthusiastic to move forward, and one of them even happily took the microphone and sang a long song in a children's voice.

In short, before Lu Wu approached the past, this circle was quite lively, at least there was no cold scene. In fact, thanks to the lead singer, it can even be said that it is getting more and more crowded.

Amber was already in the front row at this time, but because of the call just now, Lu Wu was standing on the outermost. In fact, if it weren't for the hair color, it would not be easy to find someone in such a noisy square. Lu Wu wanted to move forward to Amber's side, but there were many children mixed in the crowd here, and it was quite difficult to squeeze through, and the slightest accident would bump into the children.

"This beauty," the lead singer handed the microphone to Amber. "Interested in singing a song?"

Anyone who sees Amber at first glance can recognize that she is a foreigner by the color of her hair, skin color, and even the color of her pupils, and if you take a little effort to look closely, you can tell that she is a half-race child by the contours of her face that reveal the softness of an oriental, and the smooth and delicate skin. Although it is not uncommon for foreigners (both men and women) to appear in China in this era, amber has still attracted the attention of many people.

"Foreign big sister sings a song!" A few children who were only seven or eight years old, maybe a little younger, were coaxing on the side.

Amber is still hesitating, but she can't resist the warm invitation of the lead singer, plus the coaxing behind the little kid. was pulled to the center of the field.

The lead singer gestured to his companion behind him, and the melody changed to another famous song. It's a piece that Amber is just as familiar with, and in fact, she had the pleasure of enjoying a high-profile version of it at the concert just now.
