Li Mochen was too lazy to speak and just slowly pulled out the magic-patterned steel sword. As the faces of several big men in black around him gradually turned gloomy, a young man's voice suddenly came from beside him: "Okay! I
You know this guy, let him in."
Li Mochen squinted towards the source of the voice and found that it was a young man in his twenties, with brilliant blond hair and facial features as handsome as the sun god Apollo. Especially those eyes that were full of interest.
Staring at his appraising sky-blue eyes was impressive.
Li Mochen snorted disdainfully and stuffed the half-drawn sword back into his sword bag.
Why are there always people in this world who like to be troublesome and prevent him from slaying demons on behalf of heaven and punishing Xiaoxiao?
But when Li Mochen walked into a noisy underground space under the watchful eyes of several big men in black, and exited the state of 'Heaven's Heart and God's Light' according to the psychological hints he had prepared in advance, he couldn't help but touch him with his hands.
Um, my eyes look helpless.
This secret technique of the soul only caused all kinds of inconveniences when it was actually used. For example, just now, wouldn't it be good to hide your identity?
He is now in a state where the tiger is in peace, why does he still act like a fairy king? When it is time to pretend to be a grandson, he still has to act honestly.
And the blond young man, he did have some impressions. When Franks of the Teutonic Cross came to find the original owner that day, this young man seemed to be following Franks?
Li Mochen couldn't help but rub his eyebrows speechlessly. He didn't want others to know his whereabouts today, but the result was completely opposite to his will.
But the deal was already done, and no matter how upset Li Mochen was, it was of no use. He could only sigh, and then looked around, looking at the black goods market that was transformed from an underground garage.
The area here is not large, but there are a lot of people inside, and there is a constant flow of people everywhere you look. On both sides of the original driveway, the parking spaces have been transformed into storefronts, totaling more than 60 stores.
According to the memory of the original owner, there are about seventy stores and a large number of mobile stalls on the second and third underground floors of this garage, which is more prosperous than several famous commercial streets in Atlanta.
This is also one of the three largest black goods markets in the entire state of Georgia. The Teutonic Cross does not sell drugs or engage in the flesh business, but they still live a more comfortable life than other gangs. On the one hand, they monopolize the smuggling channels in 'South America'.
On the one hand, it relies on the commission from this market. The latter accounts for at least one-third of the income of the Teutonic Cross.
Therefore, Li Mochen does not have to worry about safety issues here. This is the foundation of the Teutonic Cross after all, and if an American black goods market wants to remain prosperous, the first priority is safety, and the second is credibility.
The first thing Li Mochen found was a store that dealt in precious metals. It mainly sold magic metals such as fine gold and mithril, as well as a small amount of alchemical products. It also purchased various alchemical raw materials. Gold was also one of them.
, especially the high-purity gold that was once refined by the Samadhi True Fire in the hands of Li Mochen.
"The purity is pretty good."
The shop owner squeezed it casually and left a clear fingerprint on the gold ingot. There was also a bit of joy in the man's eyes: "What price do you want? I'll see if I can satisfy you."
Li Mochen responded without any hesitation: "65 gold shields per gram, I want cash transaction."
"This is impossible!"
The shop owner shook his head: "You're too greedy, BOY. The market price of gold outside is only 42 gold shields, and it's still taxed by the government. I can only give you 38 gold shields at most, which is the highest purchase price in the entire Laurel Street black market."
"
"But 38 gold shields can't buy tens of millions of gold, right?"
Li Mochen sneered, picked up the gold ingot on the table and left without any nonsense.
The so-called tens of millions of pure gold refers to gold with a purity of 99.99999%.
There is an idiom that says gold is never pure, no one is perfect, and 100% pure gold does not exist. The first reason is the refining technology, and the second reason is that during the processing of gold jewelry or gold bars, it is inevitable that mustard dust will be mixed into it.
kind.
In this world, even the most advanced gold purification technology can only reach 99.9999%, which is the level of one million pure gold.
It can only be refined by powerful demigods and gods from all over the world. But among these high-status beings, who has the time and effort to refine such a thing? Even if they do it occasionally,
Most of them are for personal use. Therefore, this amount of tens of millions of pure gold is still very rare in this world and has many uses.
Sure enough, before Li Mochen walked out of the store, the store owner shouted loudly: "Hey! Little boy, you convinced me, I will increase it to forty-five gold shields per gram, okay? Forty-eight, fifty-two, damn!"
Sixty gold shields, this is the final offer, if you don’t agree, take your treasure and get out!”
Li Mochen walked back to the store obediently, but the store owner was unwilling to curse: "God of Light! I have never seen a kid as difficult as you. I lost at least three thousand gold shields in this transaction.
"
"You're lying!"
Li Mochen responded calmly: "I saw the sign of another alchemy shop in front of me. Are you worried that I will sell it to them? I can see that you should be in urgent need of these things."
"Damn it! You win, kid!"
After the shop owner snorted, he placed a large stack of banknotes in front of Li Mochen: "This is fifty-two thousand gold shields. I have spent all my money. All the cash in this shop is here. I allow you to start from here."
Choose something of equal value to offset the purchase price.”
After hearing this, Li Mochen couldn't help but look at you suspiciously. The shop owner suddenly became furious: "What's that look in your eyes? I'm not lying to you, who would bring a lot of cash in this place? In the Yuegui Street black market,
We can entrust the goods to the Teutonic Cross for safekeeping, except in cash. Starting half a year ago, they
Just encourage customers to deposit money in their bank and then spend it in the black market. I'm sure that no matter where you go to buy, you won't be able to get more money than this. Damn it, this must be a rule
The Dayton Crossing Group compromised with the IRS, they will try their best to tax even drugs and stolen goods."
Li Mochen knew that the IRS was powerful. The IRS was the Internal Revenue Service, also known as the American Internal Revenue Service. This was a violent government department with 300,000 tax inspectors and 100,000 armed personnel. In the two hundred years before he was born, legend has it that
At least a dozen large gangs have disappeared under the violent taxation imposed by the Internal Revenue Service.
The Americans have a proverb: "The only things in this world that are eternal are death and taxes."
At all levels of society, the IRS is pervasive and is known as "the most feared government department in America", with more prestige than the Department of Defense and the CIA.
Indeed, as the boss said, using cash for transactions is indeed the best way to avoid taxes. If you go through the bank's accounts, you will inevitably leave traces.
However, Li Mochen felt that the purpose of the Teutonic Cross Group should be more than that. This gang was obviously ambitious and began to prepare to get involved in money laundering and financial business. But this had nothing to do with him. Li Mochen ignored the shop owner's complaints and went to this small shop.
Look around inside.
In fact, even if this person didn't say it, he still wanted to buy something here. Although this alchemy shop is small, it still has a full range of varieties. What's rare is that the boss of this shop is not the kind of person who is difficult to deal with.
