After a hurried breakfast the next morning, Han Xiaosheng took a car back to the county seat.
When I got home, there was no one in the living room.
Mom should have gone out to buy groceries. As for dad, he is sleeping in as usual.
This was really a good opportunity. Han Xiaosheng quickly locked the door and entered the kitchen.
Light a fire on the gas stove, carefully place the stone on the edge of the ceramic tray, then hold the tray and bake the exposed edge of the stone over the flame.
After baking for almost a minute, it was confirmed that there was no discoloration. Han Xiaosheng was so excited that he almost jumped up and the stone fell. He was so happy that he was so sad that he smashed the kitchen platform with white spots. Fortunately, the platform was made of marble, otherwise it would have created a hole. It will be difficult to explain when mom comes back.
Han Xiaosheng quickly turned off the gas stove, put away the stone, and thought about where to go for final verification and where to sell the gold.
After thinking about it for a long time, I felt that I had no clue, so I took out my computer and started surfing the Internet.
After finding Baidu, Han Xiaosheng entered "Where do you usually go to sell gold" and started searching.
A lot of links popped up on the Internet. Han Xiaosheng opened the links one by one and began to read them carefully.
After watching for ten minutes, he finally got the information he wanted.
If you want to sell gold, there are generally five channels.
The first is a gold recycling store.
If you need to cash out quickly, you can go to a regular gold recycling store.
The price of gold recycling in this kind of store is relatively high, and the money is returned quickly. When you are in urgent need of money, a gold recycling store is a good choice.
The second type is various pawn shops in large and medium-sized cities.
Compared with gold recycling shops, the prices at pawn shops may be lower than those at gold recycling shops.
Pawn shops mainly provide mortgage loans and liquidation services for items.
If you just mortgage your items for a loan, you can redeem your items after the loan is repaid.
If you choose to cash out your items, that is, you choose to pawn, which is equivalent to selling your items to a pawn shop.
The third method is to recycle it through a consignment house
You can give the items you want to sell to a consignment house and let them sell them on your behalf.
However, the handling fee of the consignment house will be relatively high, and there is no guarantee that it will be sold.
The fourth type is gold shops all over the country
Gold stores mainly sell gold and silver jewelry and also provide buy-back services, but they are usually limited to some styles of the same brand. For other gold items, the prices will be very low.
The fifth type is online recycling platform
There are many recycling platforms selling gold on the Internet. The recycling prices of these platforms are more suitable and payment can be made in real time. However, there are also uncertainties and it is easy to be deceived.
Han Xiaosheng thought about it for a long time.
“The online platform vetoes it first.”
"Gold recycling shops and gold shops are relatively formal, but they are not suitable for worrying about being visited by the government."
"The consignment house does not guarantee that it will be sold, and it will take a long time."
"The only thing left is the pawn shop. Although the price is low, it can usually be redeemed, so I choose it!"
Han Xiaosheng made up his mind and opened Baidu again to search for pawn shops in the provincial capital. After looking for a long time, he finally chose a pawn shop in the city center called Xingcheng Jindian Pawn Shop in Tianxin District of Xingcheng.
After deciding on the itinerary, Han Xiaosheng called his mother and said that he was going to the provincial capital to do business. However, his mother complained that he was not doing his job properly. He finally hung up the phone and he set off immediately.
The county town of Longjiang is not far from the provincial capital, and today happened to be a working day. He made an appointment for a ride and got on the bus half an hour later.
The four passengers in the car were crowded, and they were all catching the train to go to work. Han Xiaosheng was the only one who was unemployed.
An hour and a half later, the car arrived at Tianxin District of Star City.
The driver put him down and the taxi sped towards the train station. .
Han Xiaosheng was worried that others would recognize him when selling gold, so he walked for a while, found a location without surveillance, put on a hat and a mask, and then started to navigate to find the gold pawn shop.
The journey is not far.
Han Xiaosheng, carrying his bag, cautiously turned the corner, walked two streets, and came to the door of Jindian Pawn Shop.
Standing at the door of the pawn shop, Han Xiaosheng observed the surrounding situation.
At this time, a young woman came out of the gate and greeted him.
"Sir, do you want to come in and take a look?"
Han Xiaosheng took a look at this woman. She was such a beauty in the workplace.
He is over 170cm tall and wearing high heels, obviously half a head taller than him.
A white shirt on the upper body and a blue professional skirt on the lower body.
The skirt is slim-fitting, making the buttocks appear more upright, revealing a pair of straight and well-proportioned long legs.
The white shirt on the upper body is a bit too small, which outlines the full and round shape of the chest.
Further up is a delicate and pretty face with clear eyes and black hair tied into a ponytail on the back of her head. The combination of purity and wildness gives people unlimited temptation.
Han Xiaosheng's eyes were a little straight, not because he was obsessed with sex, but because everyone has a love for beauty. He wanted to take another look at it. It wasn't until the woman blushed a little that he shifted his gaze to the pawn shop sign.
The woman had no choice but to extend the invitation again.
"Sir, you can come in and take a look and learn about our company. We are a well-known pawn shop in Star City. We operate with integrity and we are absolutely honest."
Han Xiaosheng pondered for a moment and replied in a low voice:
"Sister, I just want to understand the situation.".
The woman made an inviting gesture and led Han Xiaosheng into the pawn shop.
Entering the door is a hall of about 100 square meters. In front of you is a marble counter. There are several young girls at the counter. Outside the counter is a row of chairs with few customers.
On the right side of the hall is a reception area, with sofas in a circle and a fiberglass coffee table in the middle, which looks simple.
There are two doors on the left side of the hall. The sign on the door is "Reception Room".
The woman led Han Xiaosheng to the reception desk on the right to sit down, brought tea, and introduced herself after sitting down.
"Hello, sir, I am Jiang Xiuya, the manager of Jindian Pawn Shop. You can call me Xiao Jiang or Manager Jiang. Is there anything you need to know, sir?"
Han Xiaosheng took a sip of tea and then asked:
"Manager Jiang, I would like to know if the pawn shop can keep the customer's information confidential?"
Jiang Xiuya smiled and nodded.
"Sir, if you need, we can keep the pawned items and the pawners confidential, but the premise is that this process cannot harm the country and the government."
Han Xiaosheng pondered for a while and said:
"Manager Jiang, I have an item that I want to die for, but I can't reveal the origin.
Of course, it will not harm the country or the government.
I need cash settlement, I wonder if you can do it? "
Jiang Xiuya nodded, stood up, led Han Xiaosheng to a reception room, closed the door, and said:
"Sir, you can rest assured that this conference room does not have any surveillance and can keep your confidentiality.".
Han Xiaosheng put down his bag, took out the yellow stone, put it on the table, and signaled Jiang Xiuya to get started.
Jiang Xiuya put on a pair of white gloves, picked up the stone, looked at all sides, thought for a moment, and pressed a button on the table.
After a while, a 60-year-old man came in from outside the door and nodded to Han Xiaosheng.
Jiang Xiuya introduced that the old man's surname was Liu, and he was a master in the appraisal industry.
Master Liu picked up the yellow stone and walked to a table in the corner of the conference room. There were some tools and utensils on the table. Master Liu started testing and weighing.
After about a quarter of an hour, Master Liu stood up and said:
"This is indeed real gold, but the purity is not high and the weight is 1.4 kilograms."
"According to this purity, each gram costs 400 yuan, a total of 560,000 yuan."
Hearing Master Liu's conclusive conclusion, Han Xiaosheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. A feeling of ecstasy came to his heart, and he shouted in his heart:
"I'm going to get rich! I'm finally going to get rich!"
Jiang Xiuya took over.
"Thank you, Master Liu. Thank you for your hard work. I will handle the following matters."
After Master Liu went out, Jiang Xiuya got a pawn contract and started negotiating the price with Han Xiaosheng.
"Sir, what do you think of the price of 560,000?"
"Okay, just follow this price and give me cash."
"good!"
Both parties signed the contract.
Jiang Xiuya brought over a pile of money. Han Xiaosheng counted it with the money counter on the conference table and put it into his backpack. Jiang Xiuya asked someone to come in and take away the gold.
When Han Xiaosheng put on his bag and was about to leave, Jiang Xiuya handed over a business card and said with a smile:
"Sir, this is my contact information. If you have any items that need to be sold in the future, you can contact me. My WeChat and QQ numbers are on it, so you can keep in touch."
"Okay, I know."
Carrying his bag, Han Xiaosheng carefully observed the situation in front of the pawn shop, and felt that there was nothing unusual, so he walked out naturally.
