Chapter 8 Buy, Buy, Buy (2)

It is nearly 200 kilometers from the county seat of Tuobu, where Zhao Kang is located, to the city, and after buying the ticket, Zhao Kang only has four yuan left, and he is reluctant to buy even a bottle of water. After six hours of bumpy mountain roads, Zhao Kang, who was dizzy, still came to Xishi. took out the gold from the unoccupied cubicle of the toilet in the West Market, put it in his bag and carried it, Zhao Kang kept getting on the bus and heading towards the "Katrina" gold store in the center of the city.

This gold shop was found on the Internet by him last night. Judging from the information found, this store is relatively formal, not only selling all kinds of gold and silver jewelry, but also recycling precious metals such as gold and silver.

After sitting on the bus for nearly half an hour, at half past four in the afternoon, Zhao Kang, who was carrying a backpack, finally stepped into the door of this gold store, and Zhao Kang only had two yuan on him at this time.

Regardless of not having eaten for a day, Zhao Kang glanced at the counter with few people, walked over directly and asked the salesman: "Hey, beauty, I heard that your store is going to buy gold, right?" ”

The beautiful salesman saw the chubby young man in front of him, who was obviously not very old and looked like a student, with a suspicious expression on his face, but he still said in very standard Mandarin: "Sir, are you going to sell gold?" ”

Zhao Kang nodded and said, "Yes, I have some gold to sell." I don't know what kind of acquisition method you have here? ”

The salesman said: "I don't know the specifics, otherwise, you wait in the reception room of our store first, and I will help you contact our manager, and let him talk to you about the specific things." ”

Zhao Kang nodded in agreement, and under the leadership of the salesman, Zhao Kang came to a small reception room on the second floor of the gold store and waited. After about ten minutes, the sales lady just now led a middle-aged man in, the man sat opposite Zhao Kang, and the sales lady went out.

The man opposite Zhao Kang asked straight to the point, "Little brother, are you going to sell gold?" ”

Zhao Kang said: "Yes. I just don't know what your purchase price is here? ”

The man said: "I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Zhou Tianxiong, and I am the manager of this gold store." After speaking, he handed a postcard to Zhao Kang, and then continued, "This is my business card." The specific purchase price of gold depends on the purity, ranging from more than 100 to more than 200, and the higher the purity, the more expensive the gold. I don't know if the little brother has a big name, and how much gold is there to sell? ”

In Zhou Tianxiong's opinion, it is unlikely that such a young student will be able to take out much gold, and maybe he may even steal the jewelry of the adults in the family and sell it. But as long as he dares to sell, he dares to accept it.

Unexpectedly, I heard Zhao Kang say: "My name is Zhao Kang, you are older than me, just call me Xiao Zhao." Gold, about a few pounds, but the purity may not be that high. ”

After finishing speaking, Zhao Kang, who had no social experience at all, directly took out sixty taels of gold from his backpack that he had specially asked Zhao Fugui to cast into gold bars and put it on the table in front of him: "That's all, let's see how much it can be sold!" ”

Seeing the gold on the table, Zhou Tianxiong was shocked, he really didn't expect that this young man who was obviously a student could come up with so much gold. And it's not jewelry, it's two gold bars that are clearly artificially cast! Although it is not exquisitely made, it is not something that ordinary people can make at home.

Zhou Tianxiong looked at Zhao Kang carefully again, judging from his many years of social experience, he was very sure that the young man opposite was a student or a junior brother who had just come out of school. However, heroes don't ask about the way out, whether it is a student, a boss, or a passerby, as long as they can bring profits to themselves, they are worthy of his attention. So Zhou Tianxiong asked solemnly: "Little brother, can I take the liberty of asking where these gold come from?" If there's a problem with the way it comes, we don't dare to accept this kind of stuff here. ”

Zhou Tianxiong's words made Zhao Kang very disappointed, and he thought: I didn't expect to ask for the way to sell gold? I can't answer this question myself. So he didn't say much, put the gold on the table back into his backpack and asked, "Boss Zhou, where do you want to go back to collect gold here?" ”

Seeing that the other party was ready to leave, Zhou Tianxiong hurriedly said: "Little brother, don't worry, don't worry." I just asked casually, sorry, I'm really sorry! Can you test those two gold bars for us first? After all, the purchase price of our Katrina gold shop is based on the purity of the gold. ”

Zhao Kang saw that the other party didn't seem to be unwilling to buy, so he took out the gold from his bag and handed it to Zhou Tianxiong.

Zhou Tianxiong, who took the gold, gently weighed it with his hand and asked, "Little brother, can you let me send someone to send these two gold bars to the laboratory for testing?" ”

Zhao Kang said: "Please." ”

Zhou Tianxiong called a staff member and instructed the other party to take the gold bars for testing in front of Zhao Kang. And he accompanied Zhao Kang in the reception room to wait for the test results.

"This brother, I don't know your name, where is your high position?" Zhou Tianxiong asked sideways.

Of course, Zhao Kang didn't want to say that he was just a student, so he replied: "My name is Zhao Kang, you can call me Xiao Zhao." I'll just start a small business. Buy something at a low price and sell it at a high price to make a little money. ”

Zhou Tianxiong obviously didn't believe it, but he didn't want to ask anything.

The two chatted in the reception room, and after about half an hour, the laboratory technician sent the gold bars back and said to the two: "The purity of these two gold bars is not high, the purity is only about 95%. The exact weight is 1885 grams. ”

Zhou Tianxiong asked the laboratory technician to go out, and then said to Zhao Kang: "Little brother, the purchase price of 95% pure gold here is 180 yuan per gram. Do you still feel satisfied with the price? ”

Zhao Kang asked depressedly: "I see that the gold sold below is more than 300 grams, why is the purchase price so low?" ”

Zhou Tianxiong explained: "Little brother, I'll just call you Brother Zhao, more than 300 grams is 5N gold, that is, the purity reaches 99.99999%. And the purity of your two gold bars is only 95%, so 181 grams is already the highest price we can offer. ”

Zhao Kang thought to himself: One hundred and eight is one hundred and eighteen, and then get the money first, otherwise he won't even have money for food and accommodation. So he said: "Okay, one hundred and eight is one hundred and eighteen, I rarely bargain with you, I am short on time." I give you a card number and you transfer the money to my account. ”
