I'm Just Panning for Gold, What Does the Gold Price Drop Have to Do with Me?

Financial crisis, big salary cuts, fresh graduates fighting fiercely for a job paying only 1,200 yuan. Fresh graduate Chen Feng couldn't stand the gap and became a loafer at home, smoking and d...

Chapter 137 Are you two intermediaries?

"Actually, it's not so bad." Chen Feng rarely showed such a Versailles-like expression.

"So you're the customer Xiaobai was talking about." The proprietress immediately understood what was going on, clearly having a deep impression of Chen Feng.

I never expected to run into him today.

"Does that mean... you found so much gold in less than half a month?!"

The proprietress suddenly realized what was happening, her eyes widened, and she stared at Chen Feng in utter shock.

It would be astonishing enough for her to accumulate so much gold in a year, let alone in less than half a month.

To find over 40,000 yuan worth of gold in such a short time—that's incredible!

And he sold three thousand yesterday!

"Just lucky," Chen Feng said, scratching the back of his head.

"You bastard, you promised to sell me the goods when you had them last time, and now you've switched to another store, haven't you?"

"If it weren't for the fact that there are so many shops, you really would have gotten away." Xiao Bai looked like he had caught Chen Feng.

"Did I say that?" Chen Feng said with a laugh.

"Of course there is," Xiaobai said seriously.

"Alright, actually I knew this was your shop, I came here specifically to sell it to you," Chen Feng chuckled.

The girl looked unconvinced; she wasn't so easily fooled.

Men's words are all lies, including his father's.

"You don't need to worry about us telling anyone about what you've gained; we won't talk about such things."

“You can rest assured that you can come and sell it alone,” the girl added.

"Mm." Chen Feng nodded.

"Young man, are you in no hurry? Why don't you sit down for a while?" the proprietress said politely.

Chen Feng paused for a moment upon hearing this, then said quietly, "Whether I'm in a hurry or not, I can't leave. You haven't paid me yet, boss lady..."

I was just about to pay when the girl interrupted me.

"Oh dear, look at my brain, I forgot as soon as she interrupted me. I'll give you the money now." The proprietress slapped her forehead, looking apologetic.

He quickly scanned Chen Feng's QR code and gave him the money.

Upon receiving the money, Chen Feng felt an overwhelming sense of satisfaction.

It's only when the money is actually in your hands that you truly feel great.

"I won't sit down, I have a friend waiting for me, I'll come back next time, bye-bye."

Chen Feng greeted the two of them.

"Okay, take it easy."

"Bye-bye, remember to sell me your stock next time, don't run away."

Chen Feng smiled and nodded, then pushed open the door and left the jewelry store.

Chen Feng soon returned to the outdoor equipment store. There were a few more items on the counter. Huang Fei sat at the entrance, looking at his phone with a bored expression.

"Brother, where did you call? I couldn't find you anywhere. I thought you were going to run away." Huang Fei was speechless when he saw Chen Feng.

“Something came up and I was held up. How’s it going? Have you finished reading it?” Chen Feng asked.

"If you hadn't come soon, I would have memorized everything in this store." Huang Fei rolled his eyes.

The two went to the counter to pay. Chen Feng paid seven GBP, along with Hao's money.

The extra trinkets were bought by Huang Fei, who paid for them himself.

The two of them, carrying their things, happily walked back to the van.

"Next, let's go to the car market to look at cars. You can't rush into buying a car, especially a used car; you have to be discerning."

"Buy what's suitable if you can find it, but don't force yourself to buy what isn't. When I bought this bread, I spent half a month browsing the car market before finally deciding on it," Huang Fei gave Chen Feng a heads-up.

"Okay, let's take a look first." Chen Feng understood this as well, and the two quickly arrived at the car market.

When they arrived at the car market, they parked the car, got out, and immediately saw all kinds of used cars.

There are individual sellers and secondhand dealers.

From cars costing a few thousand yuan to cars costing over ten thousand yuan, there's a dazzling array to choose from.

Occasionally, you can still see cars that cost over 400,000 yuan when they were new. One of them was a top-of-the-line Audi A6, and Huang Fei even went to ask about the price.

It's only 25 now.

"These are not things we can consider. There are still many rich people," Huang Fei whispered to Chen Feng.

"Hey, gold panning isn't practical, otherwise I would have bought it," Chen Feng said nonchalantly.

Huang Fei chuckled upon hearing this and chimed in, "Of course! This stuff is from a waste mine. It'll be scraped into pieces in two and a half days. Even a dog wouldn't want that piece of junk."

Anyway, they never mentioned that they couldn't afford it; when asked, they said it wasn't practical.

The two men spotted several Wuling vans, approached them to inquire about the prices, and checked the condition of the vehicles.

Unfortunately, the cheap cars were in very poor condition, while the good ones were a bit expensive; I didn't find anything suitable.

"This thing is only for idiots to buy and idiots to sell. That ten-year-old Wuling just now dared to ask for 18,000 yuan. He must be desperate for money. A new one is only 30,000 yuan. Why would anyone buy this thing?" Huang Fei was speechless.

"If I can't find a suitable one in the next few days, I'll just ask for a new one." Chen Feng had made up his mind.

Although it's a bit painful to buy a new car and build it right away, it would be like losing the big picture and picking up a small gain just to save a few thousand dollars.

"If we really can't find it, this is the only way," Huang Fei said, pursing his lips.

He was unemployed at the time, and had no money to spare.

But now Chen Feng is waiting to use the car to make money, and there are indeed costs involved, which Huang Fei understands.

The two spent several more hours browsing, but still couldn't find anything suitable; they had practically explored the entire car market.

They even expanded their search to other Wuling models, but unfortunately, they still couldn't find one.

"Let's stop here for today. We'll see if any new cars arrive tomorrow."

"We've already seen everything, there's no point in looking at it again," Huang Fei suggested.

Chen Feng looked around and could only nod. The two of them walked out of the car market, preparing to drive the van home.

Before the two even reached the parking lot, they saw a Wuling Sunshine slowly approaching from a distance.

"This car looks alright," Huang Fei said, looking at the car's condition.

"Is this for sale?" Chen Feng was a little unsure.

"If we drive it into the car market, it should be for sale, right?" Huang Fei tentatively waved to the Wuling van.

Unexpectedly, the Wuling van actually stopped. The driver was a man in his thirties with a dark complexion.

"What's wrong?" the man asked.

"Are you selling this car?" Huang Fei asked.

Upon hearing this, the man realized that he had encountered a real estate agent stopping his car, and he nodded in agreement.

"Sell." The man said, then parked the car on the side of the road and got out.

"Why don't you two check the car's condition first?" the man said.

"Okay." Huang Fei opened the hood and looked at it seriously.

Chen Feng was checking the car paint for any dents or repair marks, something Huang Fei had just taught him.

"I bought this car the year before last, so it's only been a year and three months. It cost 33,000 yuan when I bought it, and it's original paint and hasn't been modified at all." The man patted the car door with considerable confidence.

Although Huang Fei couldn't see any problems for the time being and felt it was okay, as the buyer, he certainly couldn't be completely satisfied. Even if there were no problems, he had to find faults, otherwise it would be easy for the seller to take advantage of him.
