Chapter 159 Selling Gold on the Black Market
The subscription has been decided.
With the unanimous support of his family, Wen Hong decided to recognize more children.
After all, only with more shares can he have a say and allow the factory to develop according to his original plan.
Now it's a matter of money.
Wen Zhu suggested, "Let's exchange the gold for cash. Anyway, we have to go to Beijing soon, and I plan to buy a house there, so I need money."
Everyone in the family agrees.
However, it is a bit difficult to decide where to sell the gold and who will sell it.
Jiang Jiannan thought he could.
Wen Zhu rejected it directly.
"I want to sell it on the black market. The price is much higher than the regular purchase price outside. Big brother, you definitely can't go. You are a public official. If someone finds out, it will be a time bomb."
Jiang Qin is not a good choice either. Her fighting skills are low, and it would be too dangerous if she was blackmailed or robbed by her fellow criminals.
Wen Hong could do it, but Wen Zhu thought of her father's frail scholarly appearance and knew that running away was definitely not an option.
But they were worried about Wen Zhu going alone.
Wen Zhu suggested, "I'll ask Qian Xusen to go with me."
Jiang Qin asked, "Why not find Xiao Sheng? Isn't his fighting power higher?"
Wen Zhu didn't know why, but she just didn't want him to know what she was doing.
Maybe after knowing that he likes me, I feel a little bit concerned about my image, so I don’t want him to see this side of me.
She couldn't explain it either.
Then he explained to his family, "Qian Xusen and I have a good understanding of each other, and he has experience in escaping."
After the discussion, Wen Zhu went directly to find Qian Xusen.
It happened that he was on vacation, so Wen Zhu called him out to talk.
When Qian Xusen heard this, he thought it was so exciting, he had to go! He agreed without thinking. They agreed to go out together in the evening, and Wen Zhu went home first.
In fact, it was not that Wen Zhu wanted to sell gold on the black market. The main reason was that the quantity she was selling was not small. If she went to a state-owned store to sell it, she was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble.
After all, the source is not so bright.
So I can only take a risk.
Their family's stall and her face cream business have made a lot of money in the past two years. The net profit of the face mask business is about 70,000 yuan. Her mother made about 60,000 yuan from the stall, but after deducting the costs of renting the store, decorating it, hiring people and paying taxes, the net profit is more than 50,000 yuan.
At this time, he was already considered wealthy.
However, if you want to subscribe for more shares and buy a house, the money required is not a small amount.
Qian Xusen was originally very excited, but when he returned and met his brother Sheng's scrutinizing eyes like a searchlight, he felt particularly guilty.
"Brother Sheng, why are you looking at me? I know I'm handsome..."
Qian Jingsheng retracted his gaze, "What did she want to talk to you about that I can't hear?"
Qian Xusen was proud that Wen Zhu came to him instead of Brother Sheng, which showed that they had a close relationship.
Before he could be proud for a few seconds, he was interrupted by Qian Jingsheng, "If they asked you for help and didn't ask me, it means that this matter is definitely not legal or compliant. Tell me."
Qian Xusen persisted for a minute and finally confessed the truth.
"She's going to sell the gold on the black market."
Qian Jingsheng frowned after hearing this, but when he thought about the Wen family's previous subscription of shares, he understood the general idea.
After Qian Jingsheng asked, Qian Xusen thought he would stop him, or not let him go, or at least give him a lecture. As a result, he just pondered for a moment, went out alone, and said nothing.
Although it was strange, Qian Xusen didn't think much about it.
Qian Jingsheng went out to make a phone call, and the call was quickly answered. "Hey, Brother Sheng! After all this time, you finally remembered that you have a brother like me! Now that you're back, why don't you get together with me?"
Qian Jingsheng exchanged a few pleasantries and got straight to the point. "I have something important to tell you and I need to see you right now. Are you free?"
"No one is available to look for you, but you must be available!"
"See you later."
After hanging up the phone, Qian Jingsheng went to find Liu Feng.
After listening to this, Liu Feng thought for a moment, "That depends on the quantity. I do have some here, but if it's too much, I might not be able to eat it all. As you said, I might not be able to take out so much money at once, so I have to form a partnership with someone."
Qian Jingsheng nodded.
"Find someone you can trust."
After listening to this, Liu Feng said, "Don't you believe me? You can trust the people I'm looking for. In this business, we all deal with integrity. But I'm curious, who is this person who made you so nervous that you came to visit him in person? Which Buddha is this?"
Qian Jingsheng lowered his head to take a sip of tea and replied calmly, "A friend."
Liu Feng didn't believe it. He knew every friend he had. They all grew up together.
But Qian Jingsheng obviously didn't want to say more, so he didn't ask.
night.
black market.
The black market has always existed, but it is not open to the public.
Wen Zhu and Qian Xusen disguised themselves and wrapped themselves tightly as they went to look for the man.
There are sentries at the intersection.
If you are not an acquaintance, you will not be allowed in.
Wen Zhu also spent money to find someone to lead them in.
When entering, each person paid ten yuan as protection fee.
Wen Zhu handed the twenty to the sentry. The two hurried in.
It's called a black market, but it's actually just a riverside with buildings built along the river and a relatively hidden road next to it. There are alleys everywhere, making it easy to escape at any time.
In the past, when the market was strictly controlled, it was used to trade food and daily necessities. Now that people can eat their fill, it has gradually evolved into a trading place for gold and antiques.
Generally no one reports it, so there are no inspections or patrols.
Wen Zhu and Qian Xusen wore masks and hats made by Wen Zhu, covering themselves up so that only their eyes were exposed.
There are some small stalls with gold and silver jewelry displayed on them, and some just have a sign at the foot saying that they buy gold, silver and antiques.
Wen Zhu and his friend asked a few people about the market conditions.
Currently, state-owned stores charge 40-50 yuan per gram for gold, while local stores charge even more, around 60-75 yuan per gram. After all, there are no taxes and no middlemen, so the prices are high. Even so, they still make a profit.
Just as Wen Zhu was planning to find a store to sell the gold nugget he brought today, he would set a price and then agree to sell the others later.
"Sixty-five, no more. I have to make money. I can't work for nothing."
Wen Zhu felt there was still room for price increases and planned to continue asking other people.
"This is small yellow croaker for sale. I'll buy it, and the price is higher than his. Can you show me the quality? If it's good, I'll give you 80 per gram. This is definitely the highest price here. If you don't believe me, ask."
The man next to him sneered when he heard it, "Eighty? You must be a fool. How much can you earn with eighty? If you want to take it, take it. The most I can give you is sixty-five, no more."
Then he put his hands in his pockets and watched the fun.
Liu Feng called Wen Zhu aside to discuss, then took out a flashlight and checked the quality.
His eyes lit up.
He has connections and channels.
Eighty, he didn’t lose anything, with this purity, it was a sure profit!
After agreeing on a price, Wen Zhu sold this one first. Liu Feng immediately handed over the money and the goods, giving Wen Zhu 8,000 yuan. There were also a dozen of them, each worth 100 yuan.
"How many do you have left? I want them all! The price remains the same."
This was what Wen Zhu had originally planned. He made an appointment with others for the time and place of the remaining transactions, and he and Qian Xusen pulled their hoods tight and quickly left.
Qian Xusen murmured to Wen Zhu, "Why do I feel that person just now seems a little familiar, but I can't remember where he is."
Wen Zhu rolled his eyes at him and said, "If you can't remember, it's not in vain."
Qian Xusen scratched his head. "Really? I feel like he looks familiar, but I can't remember who he looks like. My brain is messed up."
