After the merchants left, Zhao Ming explained to Li Xiaobing about recruiting refugees, and then took out all the personal care items left in the system space and gave them to Li Xiaobing to pack according to the specifications scheduled for the auction three days later.

Then he returned to the real world.

When I came back this time, I had a lot of things to purchase and a lot of things to get rid of, so there were a lot of things to do.

Zhao Ming called He Li and informed her to come to the company for a meeting and that she had work tasks to explain.

Shenzhen University was not far from the company, and He Li happened to have no classes, so she rushed over quickly.

The boss has not arranged any tasks these days, and He Li feels a little bit sorry. This part-time job is really too much leisure.

"Boss, do you want to purchase something?" He Li asked as soon as she entered the door.

"Yes, sit down and take notes on your computer. There are a lot of things."

He Li quickly took out her laptop from her backpack, opened a word document, and was ready to record the meeting.

"First of all, you still need to continue purchasing those things you purchased last time, but don't deliver them to the office. You can rent a warehouse later. You can rent a slightly larger one. I also bought a batch of antiques from other places.

Furniture must also be placed inside.”

"Okay, I made a note of it, rent a warehouse and stock up."

"Yes, put the rental warehouse in front." Zhao Ming nodded, "Then let's talk about precious metals. Have you collected any information?"

"Spot silver can be withdrawn physically from the precious metals exchange, but you have to pay some handling fees."

"That's no problem. You can open an account for me later and buy first... buy 10 kilograms first to test the water and get familiar with the business process. I will buy more next time when the funds are available."

Originally, Zhao Ming wanted to buy 100 kilograms, but although silver is cheap, it is still calculated in grams compared to other precious metals such as gold. Before selling the things on hand, Zhao Ming did not have that much in his account.

money.

"Okay, boss."

"Then buy two precious metal purity testers. Although the precious metals coming out of the exchange should not be fake, there is no harm in testing it yourself. After all, we will be in this business for a long time in the future. Okay, that's all for now.

I will transfer 100,000 yuan to that card later. If the money is not enough, please notify me."

For other industries involved, the water is too deep, so we have to take action on our own.

First of all, there are a few gold ingots that are relatively easy to sell. Jewelry stores all over the street should be able to collect these items. It’s just a matter of price. If you want to deal with this kind of physical gold that has no way to prove its origin, the price will definitely have to be reduced.

Zhao Ming turned on his ultra-thin ThinkPad computer and checked the market price of gold ingots online.

The level of metallurgy in ancient times was not high, and the gold content in gold ingots was much lower than that of modern gold bars. However, these items were mainly auctioned as antiques. Zhao Ming did not find the transaction price, so he went back to the gold shop to ask, and found out.

I'm a mind reader, so I'm not afraid of being deceived.

Zhao Ming carried a bag as a cover, took the subway, and arrived at the shopping park business district in the city center. There were several large shopping malls in this place, and the flow of people was large. There should be many large jewelry stores.

Facts have proved that Zhao Ming is right. Along the way, there are no fewer than five jewelry stores with the prefix Zhou.

Zhao Ming randomly picked a jewelry store that seemed to be pleasing to his eye and went in. Before Zhao Ming could enter, the salesperson at the door came up to greet him enthusiastically. There was no such thing as looking down on others.

"Good morning, sir, how can I help you?"

"Do you collect gold ingots here? I have a gold ingot from the Ming Dynasty that I want to sell." Zhao Ming said as he took out his mobile phone to show the photos he had taken.

"It's accepted. Sir, please wait a moment. I'll call our manager." When the young lady saw the big business coming to her door, she hurriedly went to find the manager.

Not long after, a young man walked over quickly following the salesperson just now, "Sir, I'm sorry to keep you waiting. My surname is Li, and I am the manager here. I heard that you have ancient gold ingots that you want to sell?"

"Yes, do you accept it here?"

"Of course I'll accept it, sir, let's go to the VIP room to talk." Manager Li said with a smile, and then asked the salesperson to help make tea.

Zhao Ming sat down in the VIP room and pretended to reach into his bag to get the gold ingot. In fact, he took out a gold ingot from his pocket and placed it on the coffee table in front of him.

"Wow, what a big gold ingot!" the salesperson who came in with tea exclaimed.

"Such a big gold ingot is indeed rare." Manager Li nodded, put on white gloves, and took a magnifying glass to carefully observe the gold ingot that Zhao Ming took out.

After looking at it for a while, Manager Li put down the magnifying glass in his hand, raised his head and said to the salesperson next to him: "Xiao Liu, help me call Master Wang over."

Xiao Liu responded and left.

"What do you call me sir?" Manager Li asked Zhao Ming.

"My name is Zhao Ming."

"Mr. Zhao's gold ingot is initially confirmed to be genuine, but the company stipulates that the master craftsman in the store needs to take another look."

"It's okay, just take a look, I'm not in a hurry. I heard that things like gold ingots should be sold as antiques, right?"

"Yes, they are usually sold at auctions and are not traded as ordinary gold."

Zhao Ming secretly used mind reading on Manager Li and found that he did not lie and had no intention of hacking Jin Yuanbao.

In Manager Li's memory, this thing is indeed very rare. Few people put it up for auction on the market, and there are also many people who want it.

According to Manager Li's estimation, if the gold ingot Zhao Ming took out was auctioned, the transaction price would definitely be over one million.

"This thing was handed down from an ancestor by a friend from my hometown. Something happened at home recently and I needed money urgently, so I asked me to help. The price can be a little lower, but too much is definitely not enough." Zhao Ming

While talking, he activated the Guidance Technique on Manager Li.

After some haggling, the two agreed to settle the deal at a unit price of 880,000 yuan. Zhao Ming sold 5 gold ingots to Manager Li for a total price of 4.4 million yuan, a cash transaction.

As for how much money Manager Li can sell for at the auction, that's up to him and has nothing to do with Zhao Ming. After completing this business, Manager Li also made a lot of money.

Just after he finished speaking, Master Wang came over, and Zhao Ming took out four more gold ingots and placed them on the coffee table. The five gold ingots were lined up in a row, and the golden light was really beautiful.

Manager Li made a phone call and asked his staff to prepare cash, and then he and Master Wang carefully identified the gold ingot.

After waiting for almost twenty minutes, the two finally confirmed that all five gold ingots were genuine. At this time, Manager Li's men also came in with a suitcase.

"Mr. Zhao, there is no problem with the gold ingot. Here is the cash you want, please click and take a look." Manager Li opened the suitcase, which was full of bundles of hundred-yuan bills more than ten centimeters thick.

Zhao Ming counted and found that one bundle was worth 100,000 yuan, a total of 44 bundles, with the bank's seal on them.

There are many banks nearby, and there are also many people under Manager Li. They go to each bank to withdraw cash, and they all use VIP channels. The efficiency of withdrawing money is amazing. It seems that this is obviously not the first time.

"Manager Li is so straightforward, and it's a pleasure to work with you!" Zhao Ming pulled up his suitcase, shook the hand extended by Manager Li, and stood up to leave.

"Brother Zhao, please leave your contact information. If you need anything in the future, be sure to come back."

"OK, no problem."

The two exchanged phone numbers and added each other as WeChat friends.
