The store may not look big, but inside it is antique, brightly lit, and soundproofed quite well.
The noisy sounds outside can hardly be heard, and there is relatively little traffic on the commercial street, so it is even quieter inside this small gold shop.
In the immersive environment, several minutes had passed. Li Zhengyi sat on the chair and watched the shopkeeper next to him, wearing a pair of white gloves, holding the silver ingot in his hand and looking at it carefully.
Noticed that on his wrist, he also wore a steel watch that was slightly glowing with heart-light.
Li Zhengyi guessed that he might also be an awakened person, but he didn't know what his awakening object was.
After another minute or two, the middle-aged shopkeeper put the silver ingot back on the table.
He took a deep breath before saying: "Judging from the color, casting process, and the marks engraved on it, it is definitely ancient silver from the Song Dynasty."
"And the silver ingot that the little brother brought is also very well preserved. I won't beat around the bush. I just told the price directly to the little brother."
"I can give you this number!"
…
Li Zhengyi looked at the shopkeeper's outstretched hand and couldn't help but feel speechless. He thought, couldn't you just say it openly?
Is this so refreshing? Why don't you just go around in circles?
If possible, I really want to slap him in the face so that he can wake up a little and make what he does can keep up with what he says.
But thinking that I still have to wait for this guy to pay for it after all, I forgive him for now.
And he has to give some reaction, otherwise, who knows whether this guy will see that he doesn't know the ropes and cheat him.
However, Li Zhengyi didn't say it clearly. Instead, he imitated him, made some gestures, doubled the amount of the other person's amount, and returned it.
"puff!"
The shopkeeper, who was drinking tea and waiting for Li Zhengyi's reaction, saw the gesture he gave and spit out all the tea he had just drank.
Then the monster shouted: "Two hundred thousand?! Little brother, although your silver ingot is indeed good, it can't be worth that much money."
"And since you come to me, you should know that apart from official channels, this thing can only circulate secretly in private."
"It's impossible to get it at the price you said. If you insist on asking for 200,000, I can only let you look elsewhere first."
The gold shop owner disliked Li Zhengyi for asking for too much, but that was not what he meant by waiting for him.
I had previously guessed that the price offered by the shop owner might be 10,000 yuan or less, but I never expected that he would actually give 100,000 yuan.
Even if Li Zhengyi knows that gold and silver are valuable, they are not worth this much.
He guessed that the problem probably occurred with the word "ancient".
But he still couldn't help but be surprised: "One hundred... ten thousand?!"
Seeing that Li Zhengyi was still dissatisfied, the shop owner gritted his teeth and sighed: "Well, let's do this. The price is 120,000 yuan, and there will be no more."
"Just treat it as a friend. I hope that little brother will come to my place again if he has such a good thing in the future. If you are still dissatisfied, then forget it and just treat it as coming to my place for a cup of tea."
Is this another 120,000?
Li Zhengyi thought to himself that he hadn't said anything yet, but he didn't expect him to add 20,000 yuan.
However, this made him hesitate. It seemed that the ancient silver mentioned by the shop owner was indeed somewhat precious.
What if I sell it at a loss...
"Okay, then it's a deal!"
"Hey, okay! Come on, brother, I'll give you a drink."
Seeing that Li Zhengyi finally agreed, the middle-aged shop owner also beamed with joy, and immediately began to call each other brothers, with all the small characters removed.
Li Zhengyi was also very happy to be able to sell a certain name at this price. Although he didn't know whether he was cheated yet, he thought the price was not much different.
Furthermore, the shop owner said that normal products can only be circulated through official channels. If they go out to sell elsewhere, they may be directly seized.
And the money can indeed help me relax for a long time. Besides, even if I sell this one, I will still have plenty left.
Both parties were very satisfied with this transaction, but Li Zhengyi really felt that drinking tea should be avoided as business matters were more important.
So the shopkeeper who reminded me said, "Don't you know the money...?"
The man also suddenly realized after a slap on the head and said: "Look at my brain, I should clear out the money and goods of 20,000 yuan first."
"This little brother, please tell me your card number, and I'll ask everyone to transfer it to you now."
"card number?"
When he came here before, Li Zhengyi thought that this silver ingot would only cost around 10,000 yuan, so he thought he could just carry it back with him without even carrying a bag.
Now he actually asked him what card number he wanted? What should I do? Can I get one now?
Will the money be frozen by the bank on the grounds of unknown origin as soon as it is transferred in? That's not possible!
Seeing Li Zhengyi's expression, the shop owner, as a good person, immediately guessed that he might be in trouble, and he became more and more convinced that he was not a simple young man.
But he really couldn't come up with that much cash at the moment, so he could only say to Li Zhengyi: "Little brother, do you need me to pay in cash?"
"It's okay, but I'm afraid it will take a while. Even if I arrange for someone to pick it up and deliver it now, it will take at least an hour."
I didn't expect this person to be so understanding and offered to pay in cash. However, it was already getting late. If I waited any longer, it wouldn't be safe to travel at night.
After scanning something, Li Zhengyi's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he asked the shop owner: "I wonder how much cash you have here now?"
Hearing his question, the shop owner didn't think much and answered directly: "I only have 50,000 yuan in cash here."
So much? Li Zhengyi originally thought there were only 10,000 or 20,000. But thinking about it again, he is in the gold shop business, so it is normal to have so much cash.
So after calming down for a while, he said again: "In this case, you give me 20,000 yuan in cash, and the rest..."
"Haha, no matter how good your brother is, you must take care of his business."
"I will, bye."
"Bye bye, brother, walk slowly."
Li Zhengyi was the shop owner who walked out of the shop with a smile, and he also walked out empty-handed.
It's not anything else, but he keeps all the money from selling silver ingots.
There was a stack of red notes in the left and right trouser pockets, and two 500-gram gold bars in the inner pocket of the jacket. He pulled up the zipper to make sure everything was safe.
"call…"
After taking a long breath, I felt much more energetic.
No wonder people say that money is a man's courage. After having money, the feeling is different.
This 120,000 yuan is considered a huge amount of money now.
What's more, he still has a lot of silver ingots. Besides, the silver ingots are worth so much money. Those gold cakes...
