Returning to Dove City again, Li Qinghe planned to take another look around to see if he could get something else.
However, not long after I walked in, someone came up to me.
"Brother, I have something good here. Do you want to take a look?"
Li Qinghe took a look at the man and saw that he was wrapped tightly with only a pair of eyes showing. Although he was wearing a lot of clothes, it could not hide his thin body.
He is not tall and sounds about thirty years old.
"What is it? Why are you looking for me?" Li Qinghe asked with interest.
"I just saw that the clothes you were wearing were pretty nice, so you should be well-off, so..."
The other party seemed to be quite introverted, but he was able to speak frankly, so Li Qinghe had no ill feelings towards him.
And it seems that the other party must have some good stuff that ordinary people can't afford, so they look for someone who looks rich.
"Okay, take it out and let me see it."
Li Qinghe was not in a hurry now, so he planned to see what this person wanted to sell.
The man looked around and whispered, "How about finding a secluded place?"
"Okay, then let's go somewhere quiet."
After saying that, he walked towards an empty alley.
The man also followed behind and entered the alley. The two turned another corner. He looked back and saw that no one could catch up. He breathed a sigh of relief and carefully took out something wrapped in cloth from his arms.
As the outer layer of cloth was peeled off, a golden pony with a human face was revealed.
Li Qinghe frowned. Gold?
"You hid this secretly?"
It is forbidden to hoard gold privately now, and all gold will be nationalized. How could he not make connections when such a large amount of gold appears?
"Brother, you can't just talk nonsense. Why don't you take a look first?"
The man was obviously frightened. He looked to both sides of the alley and held the bowl forward.
Li Qinghe was just asking casually. What did stealing gold have to do with him? There were many people who stole gold.
After taking the golden horse, he touched it carefully and found that it was indeed made of gold.
In his previous life, when he became rich, he bought a lot of big gold chains and small watches, and even collected a lot of gold bricks.
One reason is that I liked gold when I was poor when I was a child, and the other reason is that gold is a good store of value. Even if I can’t play in the game in the future, I can still live a wealthy life with the gold.
Because Li Qinghe knew a lot about gold. Although the purity of this golden horse was not as good as the gold of later generations, it was an antique after all and was much more valuable than pure gold.
He knocked casually and frowned, feeling that the sound was not right, as if it was not solid.
When I shone a flashlight on it, I found that the horse was exquisitely made and was a work of art. There was also a very hidden square mark on its belly.
He frowned and pressed it, and with a click, the square mark actually sank directly into the horse's belly.
Li Qinghe's heart skipped a beat. The flashlight shone inside, instantly reflecting colorful lights that dazzled his eyes.
Damn, this is a gem!
Red, yellow, blue, green...gems of various colors filled the horse's stomach so full that he couldn't take his eyes off them.
This is a rare treasure!
Li Qinghe sighed inwardly.
The person next to him was also shocked. He had never realized that this golden horse had such hidden secrets.
"Brother, this..."
He knew that the golden horse was a good thing, but the same could not be said about the gems. Jewelry and antiques were worthless these days, and he was worried that the golden horse would not be able to be sold at a good price because of the gems.
Besides, buying and selling antiques is speculation, and people usually cannot even get enough to eat, so few people care about these things which are not worth eating or drinking.
He also wanted to sell the golden horse for gold. If these gems were poured out, the golden horse would be much lighter.
Li Qinghe suppressed his shock, closed the horse's belly, and said, "Name a price. If it's suitable, I'll buy it."
He must buy this golden horse. It is certain that it is a rare treasure. There is no doubt about that. Any gem taken out of the golden horse's belly would be a priceless treasure in the future.
However, he didn't know if he had enough money, so he could only try to lower the price. "Of course, you should also know that privately storing and selling gold are now felonies, so if I buy it, I will also have to take risks, you understand?"
“I understand, I understand!”
The man nodded repeatedly. He was afraid that Li Qinghe would not buy it.
He lowered his head and calculated carefully, but he actually didn't know how much the golden horse was worth, so he asked tentatively: "Well, how about you give me a price?"
He was afraid that if he said the price was too high, people would be scared away, and if he said the price was too low, he would lose money.
Li Qinghe weighed the golden horse in his hand and it seemed to weigh about two kilograms including the gems.
"Let's not calculate the price of this golden horse based on the antique price. You know that thing is not valuable. If I really calculate it this way, I guess you won't agree."
The man nodded after hearing this. He would not even want the antique even if it was given to him for free. In his eyes, an antique was not as valuable as a bag of grain.
Li Qinghe was secretly happy, "You saw the stones in the horse's belly just now. No one wants it now, so why do you only count the weight of the golden horse?"
"The whole golden horse weighs about one and a half kilograms minus the stones. Gold doesn't have a fixed price right now. How about I take 400 for it?"
The man hesitated for a moment, he didn't know what the market was like, and if he didn't sell it, he didn't know when someone would want it. The pigeon market had been going on for three days in a row, and he asked some people, but they were scared and ran away when they saw this thing.
I was afraid of being discovered and arrested.
After thinking for a long time, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll pay the price you said."
Li Qinghe was delighted, "If that's the case, I'll keep it."
After saying that, he stuffed the golden horse directly into his arms, took out a stack of money, and counted them quickly. He put dozens of bills into the man's hand, which made the corners of his mouth rise hard, and he couldn't suppress his joy.
In fact, Li Qinghe was just taking advantage of others because they didn't understand. This pound and a half of gold was not worth four hundred yuan. It wasn't that he was bad. If he told the truth, who knows what trouble this guy would cause.
Another thing is that no one except himself dares to accept the golden horse. Ordinary people dare not and cannot afford to accept it. If they ask the higher-ups for it, they will have to hand it over, and they will not pay to accept it. Moreover, it is hard to say where the golden horse will end up.
Li Qinghe clearly remembered that his grandfather in his previous life had told him that during storms, many antiques, cultural relics, and gold would disappear. Even most of the things confiscated by Red Sleeves would disappear the next day.
If you find someone from underworld, then if they don't let you rob them, then something strange will happen.
After counting the money, the man checked each bill with shining eyes, stuffed it into his arms after confirming the amount was correct, thanked Li Qinghe repeatedly, and ran away as if he was afraid that Li Qinghe would go back on his word.
He patted the golden horse on his chest and put it into the space with a thought.
"Um?!"
The moment the golden horse entered the space, Li Qinghe was shocked.
