"This is Uncle Ben's set of clothes, you wear it first, and then you buy a new one, and then return it!" Peter threw Zhuang Quan a suit of clothes.

"Thank you very much!" Zhuang Quan staggered out of bed.

He had been lying in bed for a day, and he saw Peter's uncle and aunt last night, looking at the faces of the two old men, coupled with the face of the bully Maguire, he was a little relieved, fortunately it was the world of the old version of Spider-Man, not the MCU that the timeline had been messed up and floating everywhere.

"You're in luck, I'm still on vacation today, so I can help you with a little bit of things!" Peter said that this is naturally the best for Zhuang Quan.

He has never been abroad, and in this city called New York, it can be said that his eyes are black.

With Peter's help, he was able to settle in the city faster and get acquainted with the environment.

"Thank you very much!" Zhuang Quan said, "Let's go and change some money first!" ”

"Are you going to exchange gold for money?" Peter asked.

"Hmm!" Zhuang Quan nodded, "When I have money, I can rent a house here or something, and I can't live in your house all the time!" ”

"Actually, if you can rent my house, your uncle and aunt should be very happy!" "But you may not be able to exchange gold today, you need to go to the bank to make an appointment and then go to the exchange." ”

"Make an appointment, do you mean calling?" Zhuang Quan was stunned, he really didn't know the way of life of Americans.

"Yes, of course, you can use my home phone, trust me, no bank can turn away such a big customer as you!" Peter said excitedly, "And you're an immigrant, they won't look into your financial background and tax issues, this is your best chance!" ”

"Looks like I'm really lucky!" Zhuang Quan said self-deprecatingly, "Then what should we do today?" ”

"But I've heard that in some grocery stores, there are people who can collect gold!" Peter mysteriously said, "If you want, we can try it!" ”

"Grocery store? In Hell's Kitchen? Zhuang Quan frowned, if he went to those places, it would be better to let him wait for a day.

"No, no, no, there is a pawnshop next to the forest community!" Peter said mysteriously, "I heard from Harry, he has no money for the time being, and he will come here to exchange money!" ”

Harry Osborne? Zhuang Quan thought silently, "Then what's the benefit of this shop!" ”

"Of course, you don't need to pay taxes, and you don't need to go to the bank to change it according to the lowest position of the international gold price!" Peter looked at the computer turned on and said, "Are you going?" I haven't been to a pawnshop yet! ”

"Of course, you wait for me!" Zhuang Quan said, took out three one-kilogram gold bars from his bag, and put them in his arms.

Of course, he wouldn't be stupid enough to bring all the gold, not to mention whether the grocery store had so much cash, and the wealth would not be exposed, in case someone else became greedy, he didn't know how to die with the two of them.

“gogogo！” Peter was quite excited, this was the most daring thing he had ever done in his life, and he helped Zhuang Quan all the way downstairs.

At this time, New York, USA, was still a beacon of the world, and the streets were full of people.

They walked into a grocery store, the largest on the street, with everything from scissors and pliers to lawn mowers and walkmans, all on the shelves.

In front of the shelf, there was an old white man watching TV, "What do you need?" ”

Zhuang Quan shook his head, "I heard that you collect gold here?" ”

"Aha, another guy who has been beaten by the terrible tax rate of the bank!" The old white man said, "Yes, I collect gold here, at a price 10% more expensive than the bank!" ”

Because of 911 last year, the gold market can be described as bullish all the way, so the price of gold in the black market is much higher than the price of banks!

This also has the basis for the trading of private gold, even if the tax bureau is more capable than the sky, in the cash transactions without monitoring and bank flows, it is also in a state of blindness.

Zhuang Quan asked Peter to continue to support himself, the little spider is still a student, and he looks very wooden, and he doesn't even have the courage to speak when he comes in.

He took out a gold bar from his pocket and placed it on the counter, "So, do you want to accept it?" ”

The old man's eyes narrowed, and his voice suddenly turned cold, "Gold bars? Are you bank robbers? ”

"No, this is Huaguo's investment gold bar, there should be no problem, right?" Zhuang Quan said.

"Investing in gold bars? That's good stuff indeed! The old white man understood as soon as he heard it, "However, how much I will come out depends on whether you speak honestly." ”

Investing in gold bars basically means that the purity is high, but it looks like the old white people still have to test it.

From the cabinet under him, he took out an electronic scale, a measuring cup, and some water.

"If your gold bars are pure enough, I can give you $300 an ounce!" The old white man carefully placed the gold on the scale, and then put it into a measuring cup with half a cup of water.

"One kilogram, equivalent to 35.27 ounces, is a very standard standard gold, I will pay 10,800 dollars!" "If you're not satisfied, you can decline the deal, but the whole street knows that I, old John, is the fairest here!" ”

"Of course not, I just want to get two more!" Zhuang Quan said with a smile, took out two more gold bars from his arms, and put them on the cabinet together.

"You Chinese people just like to hide and tuck!" The old white man grunted, then took out a checkbook from under the cabinet, "How about I give you a portion of the cash, and then the rest to be paid by check?" ”

"Absolutely!" Zhuang Quan nodded, Americans don't like cash, checks and credit cards, it's their favorite things.

At the end of the transaction, Zhuang Quan took $2,400 and a check for $30,000, and was carefully helped out by Peter, who was upstairs, and didn't need to go far, but didn't have to worry about security.

Back in the house, Zhuang Quan counted the 400 dollars and left, and then handed the rest to Peter, "Peter, this money should be regarded as the rent I gave to your family and the food for the past few days, let me take a break!" ”

"Oh, looks like you'll need to stay here for two more days!" Peter said, "No problem, I'll tell my uncle and aunt, you can rest in peace!" ”

He happily took the money, even in the United States in 2002, because of the impact of the Internet bubble in the NASDAQ stock market in the past two years, many people's incomes began to plummet, so for a family like Peter, $2,000 may be their family's surplus for a year.

Zhuang Quan lay back on the bed, now that he has a certain amount of money, when he goes to the bank, he can exchange all the gold in the remaining backpack, and then think about buying things and going back.

Yes, the panel reminds him that he can stay in this world for 27 days before he has to return to the Wandering Earth!
