The car ran out of gas halfway through and had to fill up the tank of this classic Ford at the gas station. Chatting and farting along the way, I came to the Venus jewelry store, which is located in Brooklyn, and the scale is neither too big nor too small.

The main thing is that one of the employees of this Venus jewelry store is Santos's cousin, who is more or less his own. In addition, this jewelry store has an acquisition business, which is the most important thing for the three brothers, parking this Ford classic car in the back alley, Yang Nianzhong took the two brothers to get out of the car in advance, and came to the Venus jewelry store on foot.

Santos met his cousin at the door, and the two of them hugged and joked with each other. Because of Santos's introduction, the two sides shook hands. Santos's cousin led a few people to the jewelry store, there are not many customers on the first floor, but the decoration is very luxurious and high-end, and the jewelry in the window is also full of tricks, of course, the price is not low.

Walking down the stairs to the second floor, Santos's sister knocked on the door of the manager's office, opened it after getting permission, and asked Yang Nianzhong to take the two brothers in. Unexpectedly, the manager of the Venus jewelry store was actually a woman, in her 30s, slightly chubby, with short hair, and black-framed glasses, looking energetic and capable. After shaking hands, they sat down on the couch, and Santos' cousin poured a cup of instant coffee for several people.

After sitting down, he looked at the female manager, looked at the brothers and said with a smile, "Mr. Yang, thank you for coming to our Venus jewelry store, I have called to confirm that this little thing you brought is safe." ”

"As long as we identify its gold content, we can pay for your item in full, and we can rest assured that we will definitely do a fair trade with Cornell's introduction."

That's right, Yang Nianzhong notified the phone number of the cruise terminal in advance, and asked the other party to call to confirm the gold skull ring in his hand. It was indeed obtained through serious means and it was legitimate, dispelling the concerns of both parties, at this time, Yang Nianzhong took it out of his pocket, and the skull ring wrapped in a handkerchief was placed on the coffee table and pushed in front of the manager.

The manager picked up the skull ring, weighed it and said it was definitely not light, then looked back at Santos' cousin and nodded. The other party walked out and came back in less than two minutes, with all kinds of tools in his hands, most importantly a small electronic scale.

The gold content of this gold skull ring has been tested by a special technique to reach 70%, and if it were pure gold, this skull ring would not be so strong. It is easy to deform when worn on the finger, 70% of the gold content is not low, and the weight reaches an ounce, and the price after calculation is 480 US dollars.

Now the price of gold on the New York Stock Exchange is $620 an ounce, and $480 is not low, which is already six times the profit of buying this gold skull ring. In the end, the two sides agreed to trade in cash, and after the transaction was completed, Yang Nianzhong took the two brothers to get up and say goodbye, because it was the manager of the jewelry store, and he sent the three brothers to the door before shaking hands and saying goodbye.

When they first got back in the car, neither Santos nor John could suppress their excitement and banged the window on the steering wheel and yelled. Because John is black, but he was so excited that his face was flushed, his face was purple, and he shouted while looking at the calm boss Yang Nianzhong and said.

"Whew, it's amazing, it's exciting, boss, we have 500 yuan, which is equivalent to half a month's salary of mine. It's really good, it's great, it's so easy to make this money, how do we spend this cash, boss. ”

Santos slapped the steering wheel and laughed, looking up, the two brothers said. "Needless to say, of course let's go have a big meal and celebrate our boss's 20th birthday in advance. Hahaha It would be great if you could have two more glasses of whiskey. ”

John agreed very much with Santos's proposal, patted Yang Nianzhong, who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, on the shoulder, and said with a smile. "Boss, I couldn't agree more with Santos' decision, how about we go for paella? It used to be too expensive to eat, but this time it's time to celebrate. ”

But Yang Nianzhong didn't squeak, just smiled and looked at the two brothers, looking at the two of them very uncomfortable. The original excitement slowly turned into calm, and then became creepy, Santos, who was sitting in the cab, reluctantly swallowed his saliva, and looked at the boss Yang Nianzhong, who was still smiling with a calm face, and said tremblingly.

"The boss doesn't approve of you, but I have a word, if you don't agree, we won't go. But with such a large income, it would be a pity not to celebrate it all of a sudden, at least let's have a drink. ”

John, who was more stupid, sat in the back row, nodded vigorously, Yang Nianzhong shook his head and smiled, took out his cigarette case and lit it, and looked at the two brothers with a smile and said. "Look at your little profit, if you get less than $500 in profits, you will be happy like this, if it is $5,000 and $50,000, then it will not go to heaven."

Then he said with a glare at Santos. "Santos, you kid knows how to eat, drink and be merry, do you know that John's situation is different from the two of us. How much does he make a month in a car repair shop? Don't you know what kind of environment you live in? Isn't it good that this money is his ability to improve the living conditions of our brother John? ”

"It's not more useful than eating and drinking, if you are hungry and follow me back to the old BJ fried sauce noodle restaurant, I will invite you two to eat fried sauce noodles, this money is John's, and no one can touch it."

Santos smiled awkwardly, while John, who was sitting in the back row, was silent, his eyes were red and he looked at Yang Nianzhong and just hummed softly, and never spoke again. Didn't the boss do this just to make his black man live a little better, seeing that the two brothers were trained by themselves without squeaking, Yang Nianzhong patted the rusty car door and looked at Santos and said.

"Let's go, what are you waiting for? Go straight to John's house to pay off the rent he owes and buy him some groceries. ”

The boss has to give an order, and the two brothers will dare to refute it? Santos quickly lit the fire and drove his classic Ford car through the streets of Brooklyn. I came to a cheap hotel on the edge of the black community, which had a large area and a parking lot in the yard, and the environment was clean.

But when they came to John's room on the second floor, everyone frowned when they opened the door and saw the situation inside the room. This is the room, this is a coffin at all, except for a single bed, there is only one aisle left, and the bed where John sleeps is a bunk bed is relatively rare.

There was luggage on top and sleeping on the bottom, and a small TV at the head of the bed, but it was black and white. Stinky socks and dirty laundry littered the beds, the walls were plastered with posters of Michael Jordan, and there were no bathrooms or showers in the house. The only thing worth the money is a heated pet snake breeding tank in front of the window, in which lives this half-meter-long golden python, which is John's favorite pet named Medusa.
