"Shopkeeper, do you need to inform the Fifth Master about this?"
Back in the store, the waiter immediately leaned into the shopkeeper's ear and asked in a low voice. At this time, was there any enthusiasm on his face?
Zhang Ju frowned and asked: "Let me ask you! Are you sure that when they communicated with you before, they called you Shiliang gold, not big yellow croaker or something like that? They also talked about ninety-seven or eighty percent color!
"
"...Yes..." After being stunned for a moment, the clerk nodded and said, "That's what I said. I'm telling you the exact words."
The clerk was a little confused, but after confirming it, he repeated the original words again, which was very vivid and could be said to be accurate.
"Then there's no need to notify you. Remember not to play tricks, or you'll get into trouble." After hearing this, the shopkeeper spoke decisively.
"Why? Is it just because they call it that? There are people in Shanghai who are untouchable. I have never seen them or seen photos, but there is no one like them."
After hearing this, the waiter suddenly became a little anxious. Even if he could only get a little soup for such a large amount of money, it was still not a small sum.
The shopkeeper squinted his eyes and stared for a moment. The frustrated waiter lowered his head and took a few steps back. Then he snorted coldly and spoke.
"Think about it carefully, who are the people who usually call like this?"
The clerk did not dare to hesitate, and quickly thought and answered, "Foreigners like to shout, and some people who are in this business also like to shout, and those who buy and sell gold also like..."
The shopkeeper nodded and said: "Let's put it reluctantly! Anyway, those who are called like this are usually not ordinary people, charlatans, and among these people who can take out such a large sum of money and dare to take it out all at once, they shouldn't
What kind of unknown person is that?
But you didn’t recognize it, and I didn’t recognize who the other party was. This is the problem. A person of unknown origin dared to spend such a large sum of money in front of us. This is not a trap set by anyone, that is
The other party is very confident, and we cannot afford to offend him at all.
No matter what it is, we'd better try not to provoke it. If it's the former, using such a large sum of money as bait will definitely bring you to death. If it's the latter, it's even more unthinkable..."
After hearing this, the clerk quickly nodded in agreement and did not dare to say more. He was not stupid. He was a little blinded by money before, but he was also an old man in the store. He saw a lot of things and came back to his senses.
Come on, I'm already feeling scared.
"Okay, go get my glasses and magnifying glass and other tools. I want to take a good look at the gold." Seeing this, the shopkeeper said nothing more and started to make arrangements.
The waiter nodded in a daze, took the things and went to the back hall. He looked at the gold on the black lacquer tray in front of the shopkeeper, and then he felt a little relieved.
After handing the items over, I watched the shopkeeper pick up the gold and observe it carefully. He couldn't help but ask, "Shopkeeper, is there anything wrong with the gold?"
The shopkeeper raised his hand to signal him to stop talking, but did not chase anyone away. He just held a magnifying glass and carefully examined the gold, especially those gold nuggets with signs of burning and beating.
While watching, the shopkeeper also sorted some gold nuggets into different places, and tried to spell some of them, but unfortunately nothing came out. After looking at it for a while, the shopkeeper put down the magnifying glass, glanced at the curious boy, and opened
Got it.
"This thing should be cut from a ten-kilogram gold brick like that abroad. And it is not from the same piece, but at least three pieces. Moreover, these are cut with the same pair of pliers, and they should be mixed together after cutting.
In other words, the other party probably has at least thirty kilograms of gold in their hands. For some reason, the other party cut the gold and sold it in batches. This is probably just one of the batches.
As I said before, there is a high probability of the latter possibility, and the strength of others is probably far beyond our expectations, and we cannot afford to offend them at all. You kid, just be lucky that I stopped you in time!"
The clerk secretly made a calculation and was shocked. Counting only 30 kilograms of gold, there were almost more than 80 large yellow croakers. At the current market price, it was almost 40,000 to 50,000 yuan.
My dear! In exchange for a little money, you can have such a large amount of money. How much power does that have to have? I'm afraid that if someone else moves their fingers, they can crush him to nothing.
"Okay, don't be stupid, go get me paper and charcoal." Wake up the clerk from his wandering mind and ask him to get paper and pen.
He is quite satisfied with his subordinates. He knows how to be afraid, and although he is also greedy, he will not expand to the point of forgetfulness. He is fearful and knows what he cannot afford to offend.
After taking the paper and pen, the shopkeeper put the vague patterns on the gold on the table and drew them on the paper, with characters and patterns.
In addition to recycling gold and silver for smelting and replacing gold bars, the silver house also provides a major source of income. In addition to standard styles, there are also cases that need to be customized.
Drawing is naturally required, and most shops are drawn by gold and silver craftsmen, but he is good at drawing pictures himself, and they are especially vivid and clear.
That is to say, the technique is a bit like the perspective and three-dimensional skills of Western painting. With this hand, the bank attracted a lot of foreign business. This is why the clerk knows the terms used by foreigners.
The painting was drawn, and it was not very well done, but there were too many missing parts, and the pattern characters on the gold bricks were also blurry. After careful observation and drawing, it was the same, and we could only determine that it was not domestic.
"...This character...seems to be Lao Maozi's writing!" The man who was looking around pointed at one of the symbol-like objects and spoke.
"How do you know?" The shopkeeper, who was looking a little confused, immediately turned his head and spoke subconsciously.
"...This..." The waiter hesitated for a moment, looked at the shopkeeper with burning eyes, and finally spoke reluctantly.
It turned out that this guy had secretly bought a few Belarusian silver coins from a down-and-out Belarusian. Because the price was not high, he thought he had gotten a big advantage.
At that time, he had just joined the bank as an apprentice. After learning a little bit, he thought how capable he was. In addition, the other party deliberately arranged the entrustment, so he was timid and impatient and bought it in a hurry without much inspection.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! When I came back, I found out that it was a fake. I asked someone later and found that it was the same style as the real thing. It was probably the counterfeit currency they forged themselves.
It was made decently, but it didn't contain any silver and wasn't worth a penny. He was so angry that he went to find it and was beaten up. He suffered such a big loss. In addition, his memory was not bad, and the thing looked like him.
Remember it to death.
"Are you sure?" After hearing this, the shopkeeper was worried and asked again to confirm.
"It must be right. This is exactly the same as the one on the fake silver coin. If you don't believe it, I can find it and show it to you." The clerk nodded in confirmation.
"Do you still have the stuff? Come find it and let me confirm it!" Knowing that the stuff was still there, the shopkeeper urged him to find it quickly.
The clerk, who usually lives in the store, quickly found the items. After carefully comparing them, he found that they were indeed exactly the same, and he also compared them with another relatively vague character.
Among the Russian letters, some are quite different from the twenty-six letters in English. The one pointed out by the clerk is still obvious. The shopkeeper has roughly determined that this thing is related to Lao Maozi.
The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment and said: "Wait until the afternoon, go to other banks and gold and silver shops to explore and see if they have received similar things."
After the waiter nodded, the shopkeeper thought about it and said again: "Keep your mouth shut. Don't let any of the things I told you before leak out. Do you understand? Otherwise, if something goes wrong, you may lose your life."
Hearing this, the waiter backed down a little and asked tentatively: "Shopkeeper, why don't we just forget about it? You also said that we can't afford to offend this guy!"
The shopkeeper's face changed after hearing this, but his eyes soon became firm and he said: "I'm afraid there's something fishy here. If I don't understand it, I'll feel uneasy. The business has already been done. If I want to regret it later, I can only
Let’s explore first and see what the situation is.”
The shopkeeper found a reason and convinced himself that the clerk had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree. However, the matter had to wait, so the shopkeeper asked him to find a Russian book first.
…
"Brother Shan, there is no movement at the front and back doors of the Silver Building. I guess this family won't make any plans."
A few streets away, a man hurried over, opened the passenger door of a car parked on the street, got in, and reported the situation.
"...No problem..." The man sitting in the back shook his head and said: "According to what I know, that guy will most likely be interested in the things on the gold nuggets.
When he checked before, he had already paid attention to it immediately. There will definitely be other actions in the follow-up, so let them play freely! Let's close the team and go to another place. "
After the man finished speaking, the car began to drive slowly, turned two intersections, and another car followed behind. It changed cars midway and came to another area.
The new car drove across from a large bank. This time there were four people in the car. One of them was holding a suitcase, which felt quite heavy.
The business in the store was quite booming, so the four of them had to find a waiter to arrange a private room to discuss business. The place was arranged, but it wasn't until the contents of the suitcase leaked that they arranged for someone with authority to contact them.
A big gold brick was sold here. Although it was badly damaged by the fire hammer, the store owner still did not change his composure and completed the transaction.
After leaving this place, the operation was repeated, changing cars and people, either broken gold or whole pieces of gold, one after another, and replaced them with standard gold bars.
During this period, there were naturally some who lost their attention, but were quickly frightened away or thrown away. However, there were also those who were stubborn, but unfortunately they only got the exhaust fumes.
The group of people who exchanged gold were naturally Zheng Junshan and his group. It was Zheng Junshan who was in charge of personally negotiating with the other party at the Silver House.
Yesterday I packed up and took my things into the city. After I settled down and inquired about relevant information, I made preliminary preparations and took action immediately early this morning.
Shanghai is a giant city in the Far East and a financial center with countless banks, gold shops and buildings.
Although there were quite a few things that needed to be taken care of, it was not too slow. With the support of the information that had been researched in advance, it was done quickly.
After finishing the matter, Zheng Junshan didn't dwell too much on this place. He cleaned up his tail and quickly evacuated with people and things, leaving no opportunity for others to take advantage of.
