They were all gold bars.
Payment.
Wu An and A Qing each bought about 400,000 yuan worth of goods, totaling 2.5 jin (1.25 catties).
Wu An instructed the sales assistant to package the items separately.
The two lingered in the jewelry store for a while, and when the others came, Wu An urged everyone to buy some. His brother and sister-in-law bought some gold jewelry, and A Qing also bought a necklace and bracelet for Li Juan, spending tens of thousands of yuan in total.
Li Juan said she didn't need it, but once she had it with her, she couldn't stop smiling.
The two women took turns showing off, and the sister-in-law's crow's feet at the corners of her eyes were especially noticeable with her joy.
Gu Anran didn't buy it.
Wu An accompanied her to a nearby jewelry store to inquire about the custom-made Melody beads service. The jewelry store offered this service, and they contacted a designer on the spot. The jewelry store could also help with authentication.
certainly.
All services are chargeable.
Wu An paid the deposit and arranged a time for his next visit.
Besides the gold and jewelry, everyone bought clothes. My father even picked out a suit, which my sister-in-law paid for. In my father's words, he would never wear it; how could he possibly have the chance to wear a suit?
I bought it in the end.
Wu An also helped Gu Anran choose several outfits. The most expensive one was a Chanel long dress. To be honest, it was really expensive, but it was also really beautiful. Of course, you would have to ask Wu An to explain why.
He couldn't explain it either.
The moment he saw Gu Anran, even though he knew her inside and out, he was still amazed by Gu Anran's stunning appearance after she turned around and showed herself off.
Buy, buy, buy!
As we left the department store, everyone was carrying large bags and small packages. Luckily, we were driving a minivan, otherwise we might not have been able to fit all of our things in. We drove back to the seafood market.
It was lunchtime, so we ate at a seafood stall.
Business is booming.
Buy seafood on-site and the owner will process it for you.
We ate it right away at the table next to us.
The environment is average.
But both the ingredients and the chef's skills are impeccable.
Don't be fooled by the fact that they're all locals; not many of them can afford to eat seafood that costs a hundred or so yuan per kilogram or even more regularly. After a good meal and a visit to two tourist attractions, they didn't head home until after 3 p.m.
Once we arrived in the county, there were still many things to do.
Wu An and A Qing temporarily separated from the group, letting their families go shopping on the pedestrian street and then go out to eat and drink at a restaurant in the evening before returning home.
Wu An drove to the driving school first, and helped A Qing register for the course.
After leaving the driving school, I found a tobacco and liquor store on the roadside.
Wu An: "Aqing, go buy two packs of cigarettes and two bottles of wine."
Aqing: "What level?"
Wu An: "Hua Zi, how about Wuliangye?"
Aqing quickly bought them, and Wu An put the two gold bars in the Wuliangye liquor packaging box.
Headed straight to the Maritime Safety Administration.
It wasn't time to leave work yet, so Wu An didn't look for Brother Min. Instead, he found a supermarket not far from the Maritime Bureau. The supermarket had lockers, and luckily, they were lockers that you could store your things by entering a password.
Put the cigarettes and alcohol inside.
Then send the password to Brother Min.
Not long after.
Brother Min called.
"Ah An, what's this?"
"I don't know how to thank you enough for getting the subsidy processed so quickly, so I brought some local specialties from home."
"You're too kind."
“Brother Min, I’m not just being polite. I truly consider you my older brother. It’s only right for a younger brother to be filial to his older brother.”
On the phone, Brother Min laughed and said, "Okay, then I won't be polite."
"I'm about to get off work."
"Let's go home and have a drink together."
To be honest, Brother Min can't find a single fault with Wu An, this young man. He is so young and comes from a fisherman's family, yet he is so shrewd and worldly-wise. It is truly rare.
He felt that if Ah An joined the system, he would be absolutely amazing.
"No, I'm out having fun with my whole family today." Wu An paused, then reminded him, "Brother, these local specialties are no small matter. You need to handle them yourself, please remember that."
Brother Min responded with a smile.
After hanging up the phone, Wu An took A Qing to the pedestrian street.
The family went out to eat happily, and by the time they returned to town, it was already late at night.
It was a busy day.
Of course, the gains were not small either. After deducting his commission, he received 3.54 million yuan from the auction proceeds, along with 2.5 kilograms of gold, a watch, clothes, and shoes, which he used to buy two sets of clothes.
I've finished washing up.
Lying in bed with nothing much to do, I paid Old Fu and the others their wages.
Aqing's is 354,000.
After deducting fuel costs, the net income is exactly 300,000.
Mei Wu and Lao Fu both have 177,000.
Fu Yongning and the Fan brothers received a 1% commission, which was 35,400 yuan each.
All done.
Wu An calculated that, after deducting losses and other expenses, his net income from this trip was over two million.
He estimated that even the income of an ordinary deep-sea ocean-going vessel might not be as much as his.
soon.
The phone rang.
First, it was Fu Yongning, who immediately started thanking the boss. After chatting for a couple of minutes, he hung up the phone, but before he could even put his phone down, Fan Dali called again.
Fan Dali was extremely excited. He first thanked the boss, then said he would go to get the cash tomorrow and threw the cash in front of the old man.
Wu An approved of his approach.
After hanging up the phone, I saw that Mei Wu and Lao Fu had both sent messages saying they had received the message.
Making so much money from a single trip at sea was certainly a happy thing, but to be honest, Wu An wasn't overly excited.
I played on my phone for a while, and when I got sleepy, I covered myself with the blanket and went to sleep.
...
Fu Yongning, who had already gone to bed, was so excited when he saw the bank text message showing that he had received 35,400 yuan. He jumped up in excitement.
He's almost forty, but he's yelling with joy like a gorilla.
The child sleeping next door was woken up by the noise, rubbed his eyes and came over to ask, "Mom and Dad, please stop arguing."
Fu Yongning's wife quickly got out of bed and reassured him, "Don't be afraid, Mom and Dad didn't fight."
"It was your dad who suddenly went crazy."
"Go back to sleep."
The child was a little worried, looking back every few steps, and seemed a bit precocious. That's because he often heard his parents arguing at home.
Poverty-stricken couples face a hundred sorrows.
Money isn't everything, but you can't do without it, especially in rural areas nowadays.
Everyone says the countryside is a paradise, but if you don't have money, it's all dirt.
Fu Yongning called out, "Son, the study desk you want to buy is 3999, right?"
"Dad will buy it for you tomorrow."
The son turned around: "Huh?"
"What do you mean 'ah'? Go back to sleep. Study hard in the future and try to take over my job."
Son: "Huh?"
If I were to take over a fisherman's job, what would be the point of me studying properly?
After the child left, his wife punched him a few times: "What's wrong with you? Did you buy a study desk and now we don't need to eat or drink?"
"Let my son make do with his old desk for now."
Fu Yongning said, "That desk is what I used to go to school."
"Don't hit me yet."
"Take a look at this."
His wife took the phone and looked at it. Her eyes widened in shock, her round eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets.
