Chapter 124: Gold Price Rises and Profits Rise Again

The system cash register is full.

Shen You looked at the gold bars he had just received, took out his cell phone, and glanced at the gold price.

I couldn't sit still anymore!

The price has risen so high, compared to the last time the gold bars were traded, one gram has increased by dozens of yuan, and I have made a free profit of about 8 yuan for every grams.

In other words, she made nearly a million more outside of the transaction!

If we don’t take action now, when will we?

Shen You looked at the time and immediately took out a bag of gold bars without any bank mark and wrapped them in canvas.

"Please watch the store for me. I'll be back soon!"

She said this to Wen Zhi solemnly, and before she finished her words, she got into the car.

Wen Zhi behind:
It’s only about 20 minutes’ walk away, but if you drive you’ll have to take a detour and it might be even slower if there’s traffic light jam.

The main reason is that I’m afraid of being robbed when carrying so many gold bars out.

Several gold shops here are owned by the same owner. He makes both modern gold jewelry and simplified traditional craftsmanship. He also accepts gold, and the price is 10 yuan lower than the market price on that day.

The boss also likes antiques, wood and jewelry, and has collected a lot of old items.

A few days ago, I was drinking tea in Boss Huo's shop and met Shen You twice. I also received a large lacquer box from her, which was worth hundreds of thousands of yuan, but in Da Qi it was only thirty taels of silver, which can be exchanged for tens of thousands of yuan in current currency.

Shen You stepped on the accelerator and walked to the door. He entered and put the heavy canvas bag on the table.

"Boss Shen, how come you have time to come here today?"

The boss came out personally to greet them and served Shen You tea. When he saw the bag of gold, his face was filled with awe.

500 grams per pound, and it looks like there are about ten pounds here.

"There are so many. When did you stockpile them?"

"I stockpiled it a few months ago." Shen You looked around his store with a smile, "Compared to your store, this amount is nothing."

The boss laughed and said, "Boss Shen is indeed a man of foresight. The price of gold has suddenly soared, and those who stocked up early will make a profit."

"We all know each other, so let's not talk about those twists and turns. To recycle gold, we have to cut a piece and check the purity before calculating the price. You..."

As he spoke, he looked at the golden pile in Shen You's bag.

"Understood, just follow your process." Shen You took out all the gold bars, placed them on the tray, and said in a joking tone,

"But don't cheat me."

There are also deceptive tricks in the gold recycling process. Shen You had already inquired about it when he received the gold bars from [Lancheng].

"Don't worry, I wouldn't dare to cheat you." The boss laughed.

He also pointed to collecting things from Boss Shen.

She has all the best quality golden nanmu wood. She hasn't produced such good things in recent years. I also heard that she also has golden nanmu rocking chairs in her shop.

When talking about this matter, Boss Huo's face was full of grief.

With such good material, it would be great to make antique-style furniture. She must be very wealthy to be able to do that.

The boss picked up a gold bar, opened the plastic bag outside, and carefully observed the color of the gold bar.

There seems to be nothing wrong with them, but these are not gold bars issued by banks or several well-known brands.

The workmanship is not bad.

"Boss Shen, where did you get these gold bars?"

For the wealthy shop owners of the antique shops, this half bag of gold bars was not a rare thing.

They have plenty of ways to operate and deal with objects of unknown origin, and there is no need to go outside.

So he didn't suspect that these things came from illegal sources, he was just a little curious.

"I bought some with my friends, and some of them were exchanged with me for antiques." Shen You answered casually. The gold shop owner nodded in understanding.

Boss Shen must have other good ways and stockpiled some at a low price.

"You have 12 kilograms in total. The purity of the gold is fine. I will recycle it at 596 per gram. If you confirm, I can transfer the money to you right away."

Shen You nodded, "Okay."

She had confirmed the weight on the system before coming here, and it matched the weight at the gold shop, and the price was also within a reasonable range.

The system exchanges gold bars of [Lancheng] and charges a 20% handling fee, which would cost hundreds of thousands.

It would be more cost-effective for her to do it herself for things that are convenient for her to sell.

The gold bars with the Lancheng Bank mark are the bulk. The studio will consume a part of them and hoard the rest. She is not in a hurry to ask the system to exchange them. Anyway, she is not short of money at the moment.

Shen You looked at the bank's payment information, which showed more than three and a half million yuan.

I exchanged a few words with the boss in the store and planned to go home.

"Boss Shen, if you have any good wood, or old items with gilding or filigree, please keep an eye out for me." The gold shop owner said.

"Okay." Shen You agreed happily.

Back in the shop, Wen Zhi sat there obediently watching over the shop, using a brush to add a few strokes to the lacquer fan she had made on a whim two days ago.

The fan, which was originally not very well made, seemed to suddenly have a soul, and looked much more expensive at first glance.

"Are you back after exchanging money?" He put down his pen and spoke with a smile.

The black shirt he was wearing was of excellent texture and shone under the light, and his hand holding the pen looked like a finely crafted work of art.

Shen You was stunned for a moment, then nodded happily.
"I've said before that you also have a share of the business transferred from the foreign trade company. Any profit I make is also yours."

Wen Zhi smiled and replied, "That's right."

He brought the fan to Shen You, who praised it generously, "I originally thought it was a bit ugly and didn't want it anymore. You painted it really well."

I had a simple dinner. It was getting dark soon and I thought there wouldn't be any guests coming today.

Shen You was preparing to close the store and leave only a random entrance, and Wen Zhi was about to return to Da Qi.

Just then, the electric fence outside the store made a crackling sound.

Shen You looked at it in confusion. There was one burnt alien creature, and a few others were running coolly on the road outside and on the walls of abandoned buildings.

The body left an afterimage, what was this doing?
Logically speaking, since so many people had been cleared out on the road for no reason, so many people wouldn't suddenly appear, and they all seemed so frantic.

"A living person came in!" Shen You reacted immediately.

She does business in Lancheng, so she must know something about this place. She guessed it as soon as she saw this situation.

"I'll go take a look." Wen Zhi, who hadn't changed back into ancient costume yet, strode to the door and pushed it open to go out.

At this time, on the dilapidated road that looked like a ghost town, it was impossible to tell how many alien species there were, and the two in the front were running at an alarming speed.

The person in front who was running breathlessly fell to the ground almost in an instant, just as he could not help screaming.

But he found that the two twisted bodies of the alien species stopped in front of him, and the next second, they fell to the ground with a bang.

The sticky and smelly blood spilled on the collapsed stones, staining them dark.

With rapid breathing, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at the man holding a long sword in the dim light. The man on the ground had a grimy face with a look of fear and tears.

"Help me! Ah——"

Another alien species jumped down from the top of the archway, and Wen Zhi dealt with it expressionlessly.

The person on the ground stopped exclaiming, and with a layer of mist in his eyes, he looked at the person in front of him.

So many alien species have been dealt with, and they are all dressed so cleanly.

There really are some powerful people living in Lancheng!

　Because I have something to do today, I will be back late. I really don't have time to write the second chapter. Sorry~ I wish you all a happy holiday. I will update normally tomorrow.
