Chapter 250: Selling Platinum
Chapter 250: Selling Platinum
The large platinum shells weighing 2 tons are not many when put together, and they don't look good at all. When the Spaniards first dug up platinum in large quantities in South Africa, they treated it as a gold derivative similar to silver, called "bad silver", and some unscrupulous merchants bought it at a low price and sent it back to China to use as silver......
God is pitiful, they have disposed of Maxima as horse meat. It can be seen that the so-called beauty of platinum in today's jewelry stores is pure nonsense, at least the Spaniards, who were accustomed to seeing gold and silver, could not appreciate such beauty.
Brass has a stronger "gold" attribute than platinum "gold" - at least yellow. But when it comes to determining prices based on the scarcity of various resources on the planet, copper's competitive advantage is clearly insufficient. According to the current price, a gram of platinum of 200 yuan is tens of thousands of times the price of copper - the beauty of the long is not as rare as the long, and the cover is the same.
Because of the incident in the laboratory, Chen Yi was worried that the meticulous appraisal would cause unnecessary trouble, so he only left one shell, and the others were all thrown in the warehouse and slowly refined with fighting energy.
The platinum with a purity of 99% was very soft, and under the treatment of the magic net energy, it didn't even have a chance to shed some juice, and it turned into a big round ball, which could probably hold people, but the weight was enough to make the small minivan melancholy.
In the legend, the landlord and the old rich man's "fairy sorrow" reappeared in the martial arts. And it's a big ghost who exchanged silver for platinum.
A metal lump worth 1 billion yuan, not to mention whether it has ever appeared in human history, normal people must not be able to think of it. When Mr. Bai, who was introduced by "Yuan Gongzi", who had been immersed in the precious metals business for more than 20 years, appeared in the warehouse, he didn't expect that the big round ball in front of him that seemed to be blocking the way on the pedestrian street was actually made of platinum, and he was still looking around and asked: "I don't remember that there is a safe in the warehouse in the southern suburbs." ”
"What do you want the safe for?" Chen Yi turned around and locked the door, after all, it was hundreds of millions of things.
"And your platinum?" Mr. Bai began to look for boxes again.
"That's what you're looking for." Chen Yi took two quick steps and kicked the platinum ball.
A 2-ton metal ball, without the power of inhumans, there is no intention to move the position.
Looking at the shoe prints on the soft precious metal, Mr. Bai was dumbfounded and said, "Are you serious?" ”
"You'll have to test the purity, but platinum is right." Chen Yi shrugged his shoulders and asked, "Do you want to accept it?" ”
His expression and tone reminded Mr. Bai of his life in the waste recycling station. In those days, the ragged scavengers came to themselves with trucks of scrap iron and cardboard, asking, "Do you want to accept it?" ”
After many years, the three words of the chairman were finally printed on his business card, and the content of the work has changed from the acquisition of scrap iron and waste paper to the acquisition of scrap ...... Platinum.
Mr. Bai was full of excitement, leaned over and picked the platinum ball with his hand, then opened his arms to feel the huge weight of the platinum ball, sighed, and asked, "How much does it weigh?" ”
"It's more than 2 tons, you can get a crane. Also, it's best to find some security guards or something. ”
"Yes, yes. I'll make a call. "Mr. Bai is only counting on his fingers, and the platinum worth 1 billion is worth 1 billion, I'm afraid the liquidity will be emptied. I have been trading precious metals for so many years, and this time is the most powerful.
Where to buy a mine and where to buy platinum is shocking.
Not long after the call went out, two armed escort vehicles drove over, and Mr. Bai's secretary began to direct the people to move the fairy out of the warehouse.
A 2-ton platinum ball
It's really a fairy and a worry.
The wooden crowbar was put up, only the broken part was too dense, the texture was too soft, and it was quite difficult to handle. A few workers were still muttering there: What is so heavy, not silver?
Chen Yi watched with a smile, he didn't feel anything when he was refining the shells that day, and when he got the big ball out, he couldn't pick it up, so he could only roll it to the center of the warehouse. Now Mr. Bai has brought more than a dozen stick guys over, but the ball is so big that he can't stand it, and he can't even get out of the door.
"If you give your goods to the thief, he won't be able to steal them." Mr. Bai wiped his sweat, but he was happy in his heart. The annual production of platinum is only a few tens of tons, almost all of which are in the hands of South Africans, and it is very difficult to trade. Now I get more than 2 tons in one go, and in the next few years, I don't have to worry about the limitation of raw materials.
Moreover, the credit currency of modern society naturally brings inflation, and precious metals only rise and do not fall, so they can't lose anything.
He would love to buy dozens of tons of platinum in one go, and then set the price himself.
"Smash the door." Mr. Bai waved his hand very boldly.
This is a temporary warehouse rented by Chen Yi, surrounded by a bungalow warehouse, large and small, specially used for private long-term and short-term rental. When Mr. Bai's people moved, a security guard saw it in the surveillance video, and when they ran over, they only saw a crane loading and unloading white metal balls there.
"It's so idle." The security manager scolded and stepped forward to negotiate.
Of course, there was no need for the chairman and Chen Yi to go out for such things, the two of them hid in the corner of the warehouse and secretly discussed the payment method.
Considering Chen Yi's identity, Mr. Bai patted his chest curiously and said: "I have subsidiaries overseas, let them sign an order with the overseas company of Chen's Group, and the liquidated damages will be settled at 100 million US dollars, and the insufficient part will be compensated with high-priced goods, what do you think?" ”
It is quite convenient to pay large sums of cash by means of deliberate default, not only in China, but also in most countries, where there is no strong and effective way to deal with it, and there is no tax pressure. However, this kind of transaction is essentially a gentleman's agreement, and if people repent, they can only rely on their own strength to ask for debts.
Of course, Chen Yi was not afraid of Mr. Bai's backtracking, so he nodded and said, "The liquidated damages of 100 million US dollars, the rest of the cash are traded." ”
He has a bad reputation for high profits, and although the cash transactions are black gold, they are convenient for him to use. The money for those weapons is not black gold.
Mr. Bai smiled and said straight, he is doing precious metal processing, and the money in his hand is always indispensable, if he meets another person, the white money and black money must be mixed - money laundering is not to mention the handling fee of 30%, why give it to you for nothing.
Chen Yi took the initiative to ask for a part of the black gold, which in his eyes was a sign of understanding the rules, and he felt respected and was in a good mood.
"Young Master Chen is decent enough. I support the Chen family. He likes to talk nonsense when he is happy, but the meaning is quite clear. There is a smell of asking for money for money, and asking people to give people.
Chen Yi silently patted Mr. Bai's shoulder, smiling like a squirrel that had saved enough winter food.
The money came so easily, and it was really pleasant.
At the same time, this also means that the construction of the Western Continent can finally be self-sufficient -- if there is money, it can make the devil grind, and if there is no more money, what is the use of giving money.
When he re-prepared the swords, iron pots and other materials, and then sent them to Binjiang Road, even the designers of the storage area knew about the recent earthquake in Jiangning's political arena, and asked Chen Yi there: Will the storage area be affected?
So it was another 20 minutes of relaxation.
When it was time for dinner, the enthusiastic Mr. Bai invited Chen Yi to dine in a British hotel, and by the way, in the parking lot, he transferred more than 30 million US dollars and more than 50 million yuan in cash to him.
It was a big car, all packed in plastic bags, covered with white flame-retardant film, and piled on top of a Mercedes-Benz GL off-road vehicle.
"The car was delivered to you too. It's really 99%, amazing. After counting the money, Mr. Bai gave the key to Chen Yi, and sighed in his heart: The Chen family is really amazing, what they receive is not a small yellow croaker, how long do you have to accumulate 2 tons of platinum.
More than a million cars were just handed over. Chen Yi smiled without pretentiousness, changed his hand and gave the key to Fang Chong, and said, "The car is yours, go back and think about how to spend it." ”
Fang Zhong was speechless with excitement for a while.
This is a Mercedes-Benz GL, but spending 1 billion yuan is indeed a challenging requirement.
"That'...... Let's go to the house together? Chen Yi took the initiative to invite Chairman Bai in return.
With Mr. Bai's style of speaking and doing things today, he sent money over, obviously not just to flatter Chen Yi. The second generation of the flattering Chen family is about the same.
Chen Yi also felt that it was convenient, and drove all the way home, and then introduced Mr. Bai to his father, and his work was completely completed.
It's so late, and the lights in Chen's house are still brightly lit. Not only are the uncles, Buddha and others still there, but few of Fang Yu's group of fox friends and dog friends have left.
A few people greeted Mr. Bai with a smile, and it could be seen that the chairman with assets of 10 billion yuan was actually a person without a fight, and he didn't know how much effort it took to know so many young people.
"The Bai family can be rich for another 20 years." Fang Manyi commented, pouted, and said, "Your little sister is coming home, it's too noisy to play games upstairs." ”
"Exactly. I also think it's noisy underneath. Chen Yi blinked his eyes, went upstairs with a smile, and knocked on the door of his little sister's room.
Inside, there were three girls of the same age, with their backs to the door, shaking their heads and listening to some music.
Chen Yi listened attentively, it turned out to be heavy metal music, and he had to know that he had entered the door.
"Chen Rongxi" recognized it for a while, and he shook the back of the chair in the middle vigorously.
The little sister looked back at Chen Yi, then pointed to the computer, indicating that she was busy.
The other two girls reacted violently, took off their headphones at once, and then looked at Chen Yi in a daze.
The little girl stared at herself with big misty eyes, as if she was about to cry in the next moment.
Chen Yi coughed and pretended to smile harmlessly: "I am Chen Rongxi's second brother." ”
The other party looked at him carefully for a long time, but shook his head and said, "I don't believe it." ”
Chen Yi flipped his hand and said with a smile: "What is there to believe in this." ”
The two girls glanced at each other, and suddenly stood up hand in hand, gesturing in unison: "I heard that you can lift hundreds of kilograms of things, prove it to us." ”
They are all fifteen or sixteen years old, but their heights have already grown, only their bodies are slightly flat, only slightly protruding, and their young legs are smooth and slender, but they can't learn no matter how female stars maintain and exercise.
The little girls in junior high school are already growing up.
Chen Yi touched his head and said, "How to perform in the room." Chen Rongxi"
He grabbed the little sister again, so that he would not make another mistake.
The little sister reluctantly turned around, gave the second brother a big look, and said, "I'll discuss business with others." ”
Chen Yi shrugged helplessly and said, "Since you have someone to accompany you, then I will go back." ”
Then he nodded, and prepared to leave.
The two girls grabbed Chen Yi's arm and said coquettishly, "Second brother......"
The little girl's voice is sweet and crispy, and it is really cute.
Chen Yi swayed with their swaying, and said comfortably: "I don't look at the Spring and Autumn Period, don't call me second brother." ”
The slightly taller girl on the left covered her mouth and smiled: "It's not Second Brother Guan, it's Second Brother Gao." ”
Chen Yi thought for a while before he realized that the so-called second brother Gao was Gao Laozhuang's son-in-law Zhu Bajie?
In a burst of laughter, the two girls grabbed Chen Yi's arm familiarly and talked to each other, nothing more than whose brother is like Bajie, whose brother is like Sha Seng, and whose brother is like Tang Seng......
Finally, Chen Rongxi finished his "work", reluctantly turned around, and muttered: "You have been busy lately, and you ignore people." ”
"So you're ignoring me?" Chen Yi sat down angrily, although the two little girls beside him were noisy, they were also full of youthful vitality.
I think I'm only 19 years old, but I'm not young anymore
Chen Yi sighed happily.
The girl on the left, who was slightly taller, said coquettishly: "It's Rong Xi, you're wrong, my brother is busy with work, right?" ”
This brother, but Chen Yi remembered Jin Doona, and the scene when she often said "brother", and her body changed slightly.
He pretended to be a little cold, brought the pillow on the bed, and put it on his lower abdomen, before looking for a topic and said, "What are you doing?" ”
"I got two plug-ins a few days ago and sold them to others, which is very boring."
"Short of money?" Chen Yi was a little surprised, Jinyuan International's business was not bad, although he didn't share too much profit, but it was still common to send millions of dollars to his little sister every month for pocket money, although it was only one percent of the profit earned by the "Kraken", presumably a little girl was enough.
But he forgot that his little sister was a little girl who loved supercomputers.
She counted on her fingers how much a blade server cost, how much did it cost to rent 2,000 domain names, and how much did a computer room cost......
"You also bought a computer room?" Chen Yi was completely intoxicated.
"It's so cheap, $2 million, pay it off and get another $100,000 ......"
"So you're making money by cheating?" Chen Yi took off his hand, sat on the chair and looked up.
His computer knowledge is limited to some residual learning results and some residual skill replication scrolls, and the plug-in program is completely incomprehensible, but at least he can understand what the plug-in is for.
"Foreign games?" After a while, he consciously figured it out and asked, "Be careful of being sued, how much did you earn?" ”
"It's a Danish game company's private server in the Netherlands, and it's not subject to the law." Xiaomei had an expression of "you are out", and said: "A game is 100,000 euros, and it is 10,000 euros for one update, and if the other party has a request, at least 5 updates will be met." ”
"There's an expansion, aren't you at a loss?" Chen Yi still plays games, but in the past year, he really doesn't have much time.
Chen Rongxi hit the snake with the stick, showing a sad expression: "There is no way, the poor jingle sounds, and can only work as a coolie to pay off the debt." ”
"Don't let the boys below know that you spend millions of dollars a month and have to work to pay off your debts." Chen Yi scoffed. However, the Kraken is now completely dependent on Chen Rongxi to maintain it, in other words, people have indeed paid their efforts, and it seems that the exploitation is too strong and not harmonious enough, so he said again: "Let's pay you a salary in the future, say a number?" ”
Chen Rongxi's eyes lit up. Who doesn't know that the second son of the Chen family is the most generous, she climbed on the neck of the second brother and said tiredly: "You can say as much as you want......"
The two sisters next to her also helped hold Chen Yi's arm, constantly shaking and shaking, as if they were participating in the arm-shaking Olympics.
"8 million, but only for the time I work at Jinyuan International." Chen Yi waved his hand and raised the salary level of the little sister.
With an annual income of 80 million US dollars, she is also the first among Jiangning celebrities.
The little sister cheered happily, and also waved her hand: "Tomorrow at noon pedestrian street, I have a treat." ”
"Okay"
"Yong-hee is the best"
The two little girls cheered in Chen Yi's stunned.
"You really don't save at all." Chen Yi laughed twice. Jinyuan International's profit in a day is 20 million US dollars, and the main maintenance work is all done by Xiaomei, and 8 million is distributed in a month, which is really not much.
I don't think it's labor exploitation.
Chen Yi thought secretly.
"Siqi and Feiyan, introduce them to you." The little sister pulled the two girls to introduce the old brother.
The taller one is Siqi, with big eyes and long eyelashes, which looks very smart.
Feiyan belongs to the eldest girl among the little girls, with long legs and a soft waist, a small model figure of nearly 1.7 meters, but her weight is visibly light.
Chen Yi shook hands with them separately, and his heart was a little sluggish.
"There are no red envelopes." He was joking.
"No, they're my programmers." Chen Rongxi pouted.
"Programmer?" Chen Yi would not associate the two junior high school girls with those unkempt uncles who work from 9 to 5, or 9 to 5 in the evening.
Siqi and Feiyan play triumphant scissorhands together, silent provocation.
"Okay, I want to order something, my brother is fine, you can play by yourself."
Chen Yi was speechless and said, "Order a computer? ”
"It's a high-speed computer, and the negotiated price of $12 million ......" Chen Rongxi said and blinked, and said with a smile: "Wait for tomorrow, Jinyuan International will give me a good payroll, and I can go to the loan." ”
She's really not soft on spending.
Chen Yi was worried that he would be blackmailed again for a while, so he left weakly, but Feiyan grabbed his arm and whispered: "Second brother, people are going to the banquet tomorrow, will you accompany me?" ”
"For such a young child, there is a banquet?"
"No, it's a hacker gathering. There are very powerful people coming. ”
