Rubbing his hands, Li Yan smiled and complimented: "It's still Lin Lao's sharp eyes, and he can see my careful thoughts at a glance!" ”

"Don't hold me! Get down to business! ”

"Hehe, then I'll get straight to the point!" Li Yan pondered for a while and said, "That's the case, although I salvaged this batch of gold, it can't be turned into a banknote in my hand, and it can't be spent at all, so I want to ......."

"So you want me to help you sell them?"

"That's right! You guessed it! Nodding, Li Yan continued: "You have been working in the antique industry for so long, you must know a lot of professionals. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoSo I'd like to use your network to get rid of this amount of gold. ”

Frowning and pondering, after a while, Lin Shaohua asked, "How much gold do you have in total?" If it's not in large quantities, I'll be able to distribute it for you, and you won't have to worry about other people. ”

"It's about 2.5 tons, and I haven't weighed the exact amount."

"2.5 tons! There are so many! Shaking his head, Lin Shaohua said helplessly: "It seems that I have to find professional distribution personnel to help, I can't eat so much gold by myself!" ”

"The gold is low-purity gold that has only been refined for the first time, and the gold content is not as high as that of the finished gold. I estimate that if further refinement were to be made, the amount would be only about two-thirds of what it is now, or even less. ”

"Even so, it's a huge transaction, and gold is not my main business, so it's hard to eat it directly!" After pondering for a moment, Lin Shaohua said: "That's it, I'll make a call, I think that person should be interested!" ”

"Okay, I'm sorry for you!"

"It's okay, it's just a gesture!"

Standing up, Lin Shaohua took out his mobile phone and walked to the side to make a call.

Just when Lin Shaohua was discussing with the other party, Sasha, who was sitting on the side, suddenly whispered to Li Yan: "When they talk, it seems to be Russian." ”

"Russian?" Sasha is from the eastern part of Ukraine, and although she is not an ethnic Russian herself, she can understand it somewhat. "Could it be that the friend Lin Lao is looking for is a Russian?"

Although he was puzzled, Li Yan didn't care too much, no matter who he was, as long as he could help him sell the gold, even the Martian Li Yan had no opinion!

A few minutes later, Lin Shaohua hung up the phone and walked over with a relaxed face. Seeing that the other party's face was good, Li Yan was overjoyed in his heart, and guessed: "The other party agreed?" ”

"Well, he promised to come and have a look. However, in terms of his character, this matter is almost possible! ”

"That's good!" Li Yan nodded excitedly, and then thanked Lin Shaohua: "You have done me a great favor!" I don't know how to thank you! ”

"Don't say these unfamiliar words, it's just a phone call, what is there to thank you!" Lin Shaohua touched his chin, suddenly thought of something, and said again: "Ahem, I see that in the photo of your mobile phone, there are relics of the shipwreck that were salvaged ashore together, if you don't have those things, can you consider selling them to me?" ”

"Of course you can, those are all salvaged by hand, if you like it, I'll give it to you!"

"How can you send it! You estimate the price, and I'll pay for it! ”

"You've helped me so much, how can I still take your money! Think of it as if I gave you the bigger one! Waving his hand, Li Yan didn't continue to dwell on the topic, and instead asked, "By the way, Lin Lao, is that friend of yours a Russian?" ”

"Huh? How do you know? ”

"Sasha heard it! She's Ukrainian, and she can tell that you were talking in Russian. ”

"I didn't guess right, but it's pretty much the same, the other party is a Russian-American." Lin Shaohua explained: "His name is Ivanov, and he is a well-known underground distributor in New York, specializing in all kinds of shady businesses. And all the people of the way called him Ivan the Great. ”

"Big Ivan?" Li Yan frowned, he seemed to have heard of this name somewhere, but he couldn't remember the specific details after racking his brains.

"The owner of the Red Pharaoh's Bar, also called Ivan!" Just when Li Yan was searching his intestines and scraping his stomach and wanted to break his head, Sasha on the side suddenly reminded.

"That's right! The bar manager once mentioned that his boss was called Ivan, and he seemed to be a powerful person, and even Wilson was a little afraid of him! Being reminded by Sasha, Li Yan instantly remembered.

"Lin Lao, that big Ivan, is there a Red Pharaoh bar?" Curious, Li Yan asked Lin Shaohua for verification.

"That's right! How, do you know him? ”

"No, I don't know, I've just heard of it!" The world is so small, I went around in circles, and I didn't expect to see him here.

"This Ivan is a new force in the New York underworld, rising very fast, and his strength is close to the old five mafia families! Specializing in smuggling and arms, he is one of the best underground predators on the East Coast! ”

"Smuggling?" Li Yan nodded suddenly, no wonder Lin Shaohua would ask him for help. If you want to eat so much gold at once, you definitely can't go through legal channels. All that remains is the grey channel that relies on these smugglers.

"Dangdang Dang"

After chatting for more than ten minutes, the office was knocked, and before Lin Shaohua could reply, an eager figure rushed in.

"Where? Where is the gold? ”

"Am I going to give you a loudspeaker so the whole world knows about it?" Closing the wide open door, Lin Shaohua complained to the visitor.

"I'm not in a hurry! Tell me, is there really as much gold as you say? ”

"Don't worry, gold won't run away with wings!" Pulling the other party over, Lin Shaohua introduced: "This is the gold master you are looking for, Li Yan!" That one, uh, was his friend, Sasha! ”

"Hello, my name is Li Yan!"

"I'm Sasha!"

"Hello, I'm Ivanov, you just call me Ivan!"

Ivan is a typical Russian man, with a round body, a hook-like proboscis and a bald head, and a few glows in his eyes from time to time.

Ivan, who was anxious, just sat down on the sofa, dragged Li Yan and asked, "Where is the gold?" Where is it? Can you show me? ”

"Well, so much gold, it must be in the treasury, I only have pictures on me." took out his mobile phone and handed it to Ivan.

After taking the phone, Ivan looked at it carefully, and said suspiciously: "These seem to be low-purity gold, except for the gold mining refining company, ordinary people can't touch it at all, where did you get it?" ”

"Hehe, these are my secrets! Besides, no matter where they come from, they probably won't bother you, right? ”

"Since it's Mr. Li's secret, then I won't inquire about it!" Staring at Li Yan, Ivan smiled weirdly, and continued: "But in this way, it will be a little troublesome!" ”

"I understand!" Nodding, Li Yan knew what Ivan wanted to express.

Indeed, if low-purity gold wants to be sold, it must be further refined and processed into a finished thousand-foot gold before it can be marketed and sold. In this way, not only will the links be more complicated and there will be more matters to be dealt with, but also the risk of exposure of smuggling channels will be increased.

However, since Ivan did not directly refuse, this shows that he still wants to take over the business. The reason why it is a little troublesome is just to take the opportunity to reduce the price!

"In this way, I'll find someone to bring you some samples, let's test the specific purity of these gold first, and then discuss the rest of the matter, what do you think?"

Nodding, Ivan agreed: "No problem, just do as you say!" ”

After getting the other party's consent, Li Yan picked up his mobile phone and dialed Ruan Yumei's phone.

"Hello? It's me, are you home? ”

"No, you're shopping at the mall? What's wrong? Looking for me? ”

"Well, that's the case......" After explaining the matter to Ruan Yumei, Li Yan said: "I don't worry about other people, so I have to trouble you to run away." ”

"Okay, I'll do it! I'll call you again when you get to Chinatown, and you can just remember to come out and pick me up! ”

"Okay, be careful on the road!"

After Li Yan hung up the phone, Ivan also notified, and the professional gold inspectors under him also rushed over with instruments.
