Zhang Xiaokui was really puzzled.

"There is no hurry to search the mountain, there is not enough firewood for the winter at Technician Ji's house, let the big guy come over tomorrow to collect more firewood."

"Ah...... Oh! Zhang Xiaokui was confused, although he didn't understand it very well, but in the end he was smart and didn't ask more.

Let's go!

What the boss says is what he says, no matter if he doesn't match the words before and after, when the time comes, just put the person in order.

In the same world, the sea market is also snowing heavily.

As soon as I got out of the dock, I broke into the corner of the market, and I saw a wide road, three or four stories high, and boxy buildings could be seen everywhere.

It was snowing outside, and although it was cold, there were still a lot of pedestrians on the streets.

Some people specially sweep the snow on both sides of the road, and there are many white and blue rabbit three-wheeled taxis parked on the side of the road.

The ferry port is some distance from the city, and there have been more and more people in the sea market in the past few months, all of whom have come to do "business" by smelling the wind, but if you pull a guest, you can earn two cents!

Therefore, drivers always like to come to this place to squat.

Gu Chao put his hands across his chest and inserted them in his sleeves to hide the bulge in his chest.

Although he had inquired about the news of the trading house before, it was the first time he came to Haishi, and he was not familiar with the road.

Gu Chao stood on the side of the road and looked around, looking for the right person to ask for directions, and the face of an honest man with wrinkles on his face suddenly broke into front of him, "Comrade, where are you going?" Do you want to take a car? ”

Gu Chao was stunned, he just wanted to refuse, but suddenly he thought of something, he bowed slightly, and his hard jaw line trembled: "Go to the Third Trading Street." ”

In the evening, the sky was getting dark, and the old-fashioned street lamps on the street came on one after the other.

The snow was illuminated by the dim lights, and in the night breeze, a tall young man braved the wind and snow to stop in front of a small sign with the word "pawn".

"Comrade, what do you need?" Sitting in the hall was an old foreigner with gray and green eyes, and across a table sat a woman in a ragged coat.

The woman was holding a filament silver bracelet and weeping, obviously the price given by the old man was not high, and she was reluctant to sell it.

Seeing that the old man turned his head to look at the man who came in after the door, the woman was anxious, wiped away her tears and hurriedly handed over the bracelet, "Mr. James, sell, I'll sell!" ”

"Comrade, you are wrong, it is a pawn."

Old James smiled, took the things, and with a look, a yellow-skinned boy handed over seven cents and a bill stamped with a red stamp.

After the woman left, old James smiled and glanced at the man at the door, and when he saw the cold energy in the man's eyes, he knew that this business was not simple.

He gestured to the vacant chair in front of him, "Please be seated." ”

"Everything?"

"Of course, if I'm interested, the price can be higher." Old James smiled kindly, and when he said this, he was still playing with the seal of the international linkage firm.

Gu Chao indifferently retracted his gaze, unbuttoned his clothes with his slender fingers, and then pulled out a huge and heavy package, and put it on the long table with a "bang".

Old James had already seen some unusual signs from Gu Chao, and before opening the package, he carefully put on his glasses.

When he saw the contents of the package, Old James couldn't help but be surprised, "These, you have to pawn gold?" ”

"It's not a pawn, it's a shipment."

If you pawn and encounter a good thing, the other party will lower the price with the standard harvest of the National Bank.

But as long as it is changed to another word, it is a shipment, and if the thing is favored by "international friends", the price will be doubled.

Old James saw that Gu Chao knew the doorway very well, and his face was a little more serious.

He took out a scale from the cabinet at the end of the table, counted it and made sure it was okay, and began to weigh it: "Oh my God, three pounds and three taels!" How did you do that? Where are you from? ”

Three catties and three taels is not a small amount, and the outside is rigorously checked, and it is not easy to bring it here.

Gu Chao's face was indifferent, and his voice was low and full of vigilance: "There is a saying in business, don't ask what you shouldn't know." ”

Old James laughed, not angry, and took out an agate bead abacus from the cabinet, and in front of Gu Chao, his fingers flexibly fluctuated the abacus.

Before that, Gu Chao had never seen a foreigner, but he knew a little about it from the textbooks that Wei Lan brought home from Beijing.

Wei Lan saw that he was curious, and also explained it to him.

Most foreigners are not good at Chinese, their tongues seem to be unable to turn, and the pronunciation is always strange when speaking Chinese.

But the person in front of him is not only fluent in Chinese, but even familiar with the abacus.

Gu Chao couldn't help but take a few more looks.

Old James noticed his gaze and smiled: "I haven't encountered a big business for a long time, otherwise, I can dial it faster." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he stopped his hand movements, looked up and said to Gu Chao: "80 yuan a tael, three catties and three taels a total of 2,640 yuan......

Before Old James finished speaking, he saw Gu Chao directly reaching out to pack the package, and he was about to leave, so he hurriedly changed his words: "Young man, don't worry, don't worry, I'll calculate it, calculate it!" ”

After that, he pulled Gu Chao with one hand and dialed the abacus with the other.

Gu Chao looked at Old James coldly.

2640 yuan can be said to be a sky-high price for Gu Chao, but he is not a fool who allows others to fool him.

Large yellow croaker is a contraband, small places dare not take it out to sell, and it can't be sold at a high price, but the price in big cities is extremely high.

Gu Chao had thought about this convenience a long time ago, and at that time, when Wei Lan had not yet arrived, or when the educated youth had not yet gone to the countryside, he had inquired about the news of this convenience.

Between 1963 and 1973, the price of gold rose from $240 per tael to $260 per tael.

Gu Chao never thought about selling at a high price of 260 yuan per tael, let alone at a low price of 80 yuan per tael.

When he saw that Old James was going to fight and was sweating profusely, he suddenly pulled the corners of his mouth and showed a cold smile: "Haven't you heard a word?" Good goods are not sold cheaply, and there are no good goods when sold cheaply. ”

"Young people don't get angry, isn't there another sentence called: three points of business and seven points of talk? If you sell sincerely, I will buy sincerely, and there will be talk about this...... I just looked away, now take a good look! Old James said the old proverb one by one, and seeing that Gu Chao was not in a hurry to leave, he knew that the business was basically safe.

His expression softened, and he said: "You go to the Bank of China to buy gold for 262 yuan a tael, but this gold is different, and some of your gold has been corroded, and it will take time and money for me to find someone to clean it up, and it will also lose weight......"

Gu Chao waved his hand directly, interrupting Old James's chatter, "Talk about the point." ”

"220 yuan a tael, three catties and three taels a total of 7,260 yuan."

7,260 yuan and 2,640 yuan at the beginning are simply one in the sky and one on the ground, but this price is better than Gu Chao expected.

Gu Chao bowed: "Deal." ”
