Chapter 7 Selling Gold Bars for Supplies
Early in the morning of the second day, Lin Wanqiao was woken up by a knock on the door.
I glanced at my phone, and it was only seven o'clock in the morning.
Liu Jian'an and the others were old and young, so they got up early to prepare breakfast in the kitchen, and hurriedly opened the door when they heard a knock.
The master who installed the window was already carrying a toolbox at the door.
When the second elder asked the factory to place an order yesterday, the factory said that it would take a week to wait, and the material processing would arrange for the master to come and install it, which would take about half a month.
However, Lin Wanqiao had discussed with the second elder before, and if he encountered a manufacturer who needed to wait, he would increase the money, and he must arrange it immediately, not to be reluctant to pay, and he must not delay the construction period.
This money was waste paper in the last days, but now it is very useful.
The second elder still stayed at home to supervise the work, and Lin Wanqiao ate a bowl of three fresh noodles and hurried out.
When I went out, the master in charge of the insulation layer installation also arrived.
I'm going to buy water today.
In the last days, there was no clean running water to drink, and at the beginning there was still water in the supplies issued by the government, but as the disaster worsened day by day, it was difficult to guarantee even basic drinking water.
In the years of the flood, many people were unable to drink sewage, and even after filtering and boiling, the germs were still pervasive, causing large numbers of people to vomit, diarrhea, and even die.
Lin Wanqiao found the city's water supply equipment company on the Internet and called the contact number on the webpage.
The company's manager Wang learned that Lin Wanqiao wanted to buy a large water tank, and enthusiastically said that some sizes of the factory are currently in stock, and you can go to the factory to see the goods.
Lin Wanqiao asked for the factory address and drove the rented van straight to the factory.
When Lin Wanqiao arrived, Manager Wang was already waiting at the door.
"You are Ms. Lin," Manager Wang smiled at Lin Wanqiao.
Lin Wanqiao nodded, parked the car, and followed Manager Wang into the factory.
"What kind of water tank does Ms. Lin need? We have prefabricated and combined, and the materials are stainless steel, enamel steel, and fiberglass, and the size can be selected. ”
After Lin Wanqiao learned about the advantages and disadvantages of different water tanks and the price from Manager Wang, she decided to buy a 10*10*5 meter stainless steel water tank.
Although the largest size can be 40*60*10, Lin Wanqiao's space height is only 5 meters. Can't put it down at all.
Lin Wanqiao checked on the Internet last night that a person uses about 1,200 tons of water a year, but now household washing machines, dishwashers, showers and various household appliances are very wastewater, people have no water-saving habits, and most of the water is wasted.
Carefully calculated, a person's basic drinking water, plus cooking, bathing and living water, save a little, and a person can survive with 12 tons of water a year.
If the water you usually eat and drink only consumes in the space, and the rest is completely filtered, one person can drink 1L of water a day, which can save even more.
Conservatively calculated, one tank can store 500 tons of water, and two tanks are enough for four people for hundreds of years.
Lin Wanqiao gritted her teeth and finally ordered two water tanks.
Water is the most important thing, and other materials can be obtained, but she really doesn't want to drink the water anymore in the last days.
The space of the jade gourd is only 600 square meters, and the two water tanks will occupy one-third of it when they are placed. If it weren't for the fear that the other supplies would not be able to fit down, she would have liked to buy another one.
Lin Wanqiao even bought 10 one-person-high stainless steel water storage buckets, planning to go to the market to buy some ice cubes to store, and you can eat ice to cool off when the weather is hot.
Quickly paid a deposit of 50,000 yuan, and Manager Wang patted his chest and repeatedly promised to deliver the goods to the door within five days.
Lin Wanqiao's rented warehouse is connected to water and electricity, and she plans to put the water tank directly in the warehouse to connect the water and put it directly into the space.
In the afternoon, Lin Wanqiao found a gold shop that seemed to have a little strength, and planned to dispose of the gold bars that had been taken away from Ruan Feng as soon as possible.
After entering the store, the boss smiled and asked Lin Wanqiao what help she needed.
"Do you accept gold bars here?" Lin Wanqiao went straight to the point.
"It's collected, but we need to look at the gold bars first."
Lin Wanqiao took out a gold bar from her bag and put it on the counter.
The boss picked up the gold bar and looked at it carefully for a long time.
"Madame, this is a gold bar from the bank, generally speaking, it is no problem, but the rules of our industry are to cut a little bit and burn it for inspection, you see?"
Lin Wanqiao waved her hand: "It's okay, you can check it." ”
The boss saw that Lin Wanqiao was happy, and said again: "If we recycle, we will recycle it according to the international gold price, and today's price is 443 yuan/gram, what do you think of this price."
In addition, you will also need to provide proof of whether you have purchased the gold bar at that time. ”
Lin Wanqiao knew that the other party was afraid that her gold bars would come from the wrong way.
Fortunately, Ruan Feng bought the gold bars in a regular bank, and all the procedures were put in the box, and Lin Wanqiao also went away.
Handing the purchase record to the boss, Lin Wanqiao said: "The price is okay, my husband bought these gold bars, a total of four." I also brought the marriage certificate, do you want to see it? ”
"In addition, I have some small jewelry, and I have bought it for too long and have no certificate."
Lin Wanqiao took out a small cloth bag from her bag and poured out the contents of three pure gold necklaces, two gold rings and a gold bracelet, a jade bracelet, and a gold pixiu.
These gold jewelry, except for Jin Pixiu, was taken by Ruan Feng, and some of them were given to her by Yang Yujun when she learned that Lin Wanqiao was going to get married.
Last night, I learned that Lin Wanqiao was going to a gold store to sell jewelry, and Yang Yujun specially took out the gold ring and jade bracelet on her hand.
According to the local custom of marrying daughters, the jewelry should have been prepared by her mother. But her biological mother has almost evaporated from the world over the years, let alone preparing a dowry for her.
Lin Wanqiao didn't want to sell it, she wanted to keep a thought. But Yang Yujun insisted that if the end of the world really came, it would be better to buy an extra down jacket to guard these jewelry.
Seeing that Lin Wanqiao was full of confidence, the boss was no longer suspicious, and began to calculate the amount after checking the authenticity.
"Ms. Lin, I can collect gold here, but jade can be said to have a price, it's hard to say, we can't accept it, do you want to ask elsewhere?"
"Done!"
"The gold bars and jewelry you have here together are a total of 260 grams, a total of 115,180 yuan, give you 115,200."
"Yes."
"If you need to buy jewelry next time, you can come and have a look, and I will also give you the lowest manual fee according to the international gold price."
"Okay." Lin Wanqiao quickly collected the money, turned right when she went out, and directly threw the box and receipt into the trash can.
The bracelet was put on the body for fear of bumping, so I put it into the space casually.
Not long after leaving the gold store, Lin Wanqiao's phone rang.
The rice, flour, grain and oil ordered yesterday arrived, and the speed was really fast.
Lin Wanqiao drove to the warehouse, and when she arrived at the warehouse, she saw that most of the workers had been unloaded.
Hurry up and open the warehouse door.
After counting the boxes one by one, there is no problem.
Sending the workers away, Lin Wanqiao closed the door of the warehouse.
