The black market guard had seen many big scenes. When he saw the small yellow croaker, he said coldly, "Wait," and went to report to the boss.
Qin Jianye nodded happily, without any dissatisfaction.
But he whispered to Qin Siyue: "You will see the situation later. If it is not right, just run away and don't worry about me. At worst, your father will spend money to avoid disaster."
Qin Siyue nodded: "Yeah, I know, Dad, you better be careful. If it really doesn't work, let's use weapons."
Qin Jianye rolled his eyes at her and said nothing. Everyone knew that firearms were powerful, but could they be used just like that?
Even in later times, it would be illegal, let alone now, where even the slightest movement would result in being labeled an enemy spy.
He would only use a gun in a non-emergency situation if he didn't care about his life.
Raising his hand, he pinched Qin Siyue's cheek and sighed half-complainingly and half-reproachfully: "You, you only know how to say sarcastic words."
Qin Siyue chuckled, easing the atmosphere. Not long after, the guards returned.
I took the father and daughter to the boss, and the black market boss asked, "Do you have any small yellow croakers? How many are there?"
Qin Jianye handed the small yellow croaker to the other party: "Please take a look at its quality first."
The black market boss took it, looked at it, weighed it, and bit it. Without much force, a tooth mark appeared on the surface of the gold.
"The item is fine. The bank exchange is 4.80 yuan per gram. I'll take it here at 4 yuan per gram. What do you think?"
Qin Jianye sighed. The price difference was truly enormous. A small yellow croaker weighed 31.25 grams, and would cost 25 yuan less on the black market than at the bank.
However, this was the only place where gold could be exchanged in large quantities. If I took it to a bank, I'd be investigated for my assets, which was unsafe.
Gritting his teeth, he said, "Okay, I have twenty small yellow croakers here. Would it be convenient for you to exchange them?"
The black market boss raised an eyebrow: "Sure!"
You can make a net profit of 500 yuan by reselling the goods, so why not do it?
Qin Jianye was heartbroken, but except for the small yellow croaker, the things in the space were either not worth the price in this era or too rare, so he was reluctant to sell them.
In this way, he took out twenty small yellow croakers from his pocket and exchanged them for two thousand five hundred yuan, and then took out one hundred of them and exchanged them for various bills.
When the black market boss saw the two men's calm expressions, he knew that their ancestors must have been rich, and it was easiest to make money from people like this.
He smiled and asked, "I have some good stuff here. Take a look and see if you need it. Or, if you have any good stuff, you can bring it over and exchange it for money or supplies."
Qin Jianye was curious: "Can you introduce him to me?"
The black market boss winked at the younger brother, and he ran off. He returned a short while later with a sack and took out the items one by one.
There are imported milk powder and chocolate, as well as watches and radios that don't require tickets.
But what really excited Qin Jianye was ginseng, cordyceps and saffron.
"Hey, this is bird's nest, it's the same price as gold. If you have the money, you can buy some and try it."
Qin Jianye nodded: "I want it, but I didn't bring anything."
The black boss was not in a hurry: "It's okay, go back and prepare, and come back to trade tomorrow."
Qin Jianye nodded, told the other party to put the things away, and then left reluctantly.
After walking around outside for a few times and making sure no one was following him, he changed his clothes and finally arrived at the alley where he had agreed to meet the old man.
Turns out there's no one here.
"Hey, that old man won't regret it!"
Qin Siyue stood on tiptoe and took a look: "Maybe he's afraid that we'll trick him, so he's watching from the dark?"
Qin Siyue was right. The old man was afraid that others would covet his property, so he was hiding in the alley next door.
After confirming that the father and daughter came alone to trade, he slowly came out: "Here, the things are for you, where is the food?"
"Here!" Qin Siyue patted the bag beside him and asked curiously, "Uncle, can you move it?"
Two hundred kilograms. Her father came to the alley and replaced the cotton with something else.
Finally, the old man said: "It's none of your business."
Qin Jianye curled his lips, pulled Qin Siyue and left. Qin Siyue also felt bored, so he put the box into the space and hid it in his bedroom.
Afterwards, we found a guesthouse to rest.
After washing up, the father and daughter lay on the bed and slept soundly until noon.
Qin Jianye took Qin Siyue to a state-owned restaurant for dinner, and then walked around the house where they were last night.
The father and daughter acted separately. Qin Siyue was responsible for keeping watch, while Qin Jianye, wearing a white shirt, holding a briefcase, wearing black-framed glasses, and combing his hair meticulously, asked the old men and women where there were any houses for rent nearby.
"I've just been transferred here to work. There's no dormitory in the factory. The size of the house doesn't matter, even if it's a little shabby, as long as I have a place to live."
When the old men and women saw that he was dressed like a cadre, they immediately enthusiastically introduced the surrounding environment.
Qin Jianye gradually got to know this street, but after listening for a while, no one mentioned the Chen family's house, so he led the topic there.
"I just passed by and saw two abandoned houses over there. One was dilapidated, with most of the wall collapsed, but the other was well preserved, with a big padlock on the door.
What's going on? Can I rent a better yard?"
"Ah, over there..."
The old men and women hesitated, but seeing that Qin Jianye was completely clueless, they lowered their voices and said to him, "That seems to be Director Cheng's property over there. He comes over here every now and then, and he won't clean it up, and he won't let anyone live there. I advise you not to go looking for bad luck."
Qin Jianye raised his eyebrows in surprise, then patted his chest with lingering fear. "Luckily, you guys reminded me, otherwise, I would have violated a taboo. I'm new to the provincial capital, and I can't afford to offend the officials!"
"That's right!" The old men and women started talking about Director Cheng. Qin Jianye then realized that this man was also from the south. No wonder he targeted Chen Jinnian. He had probably seen him before.
Leaving this neighborhood, Qin Jianye was full of worries.
He can take revenge, but how should he do it?
Killed someone? He and Qin Siyue hadn't left without leaving any traces. He never looked down on anyone. Perhaps someone could find out about him and his daughter through the house.
Stealing houses? If that guy is really greedy, he will surely smash and rob even more crazily, and then more people will suffer misfortune because of his actions.
Moreover, everything was just his conjecture. It was hard to say whether it was Director Cheng or not.
Qin Jianye decided to put the matter aside as there was still time to spare.
Qin Siyue and I waited until dark, then went out with thirty gold bars in our pockets.
Not only did he buy a lot of tonics, but he also exchanged a lot of banknotes.
Qin Jianye happily took his daughter to the department store to shop, and then went straight to the train station to buy a train ticket to Yang County.
The father and daughter fell asleep as soon as they got in the car, and the clanging sound helped them sleep.
Suddenly, a scream woke up Qin Jianye from his sleep.
When I looked up, I saw a middle-aged man lying on the ground with a pale face.
His forehead was covered in cold sweat, his lips were pale, and he was covering his chest with his hands.
