I Became the Favorite of Big Bosses

Chapter 338 Brother Chao became rich

 Zhang Xiaokui is really puzzled.

“There’s no rush to search the mountain. Technician Ji’s house doesn’t have enough firewood for the winter. I’ll ask everyone to come over tomorrow to get more firewood.”

"Ah...oh!" Zhang Xiaokui was confused. Although he didn't quite understand, he was still smart enough not to ask any more questions.

Fine!

Whatever the boss says is what he says, regardless of whether he talks or not, we will just deal with him when the time comes.

 In the same sky and earth, there is also heavy snow falling in Haishi.

Just after leaving the pier, I entered a corner of the sea market and saw a wide road. Three or four-storey, square buildings could be seen everywhere.

It is snowing outside. Although it is cold, there are still many people walking on the street.

There are people who clean the snow on both sides of the road. There are many white and blue rabbit three-wheeled taxis parked on the roadside. The loyal and honest drivers are all looking forward to it, hoping to get another one before dark. Work.

The ferry is some distance away from the city. In the past few months, more and more people have come to Haishi. They all come here to do "business". As long as you get a customer, you can earn at least 20 cents. !

 Therefore, drivers always like to come to this place to stay.

Gu Chao put his hands across his chest and inserted them into his sleeves to hide the bulge in his chest.

Although he had inquired about the trading company before, this was his first time coming to Haishi and the roads were unfamiliar to him.

 Gu Chao stood on the roadside and looked around, looking for a suitable person to ask for directions. The face of an honest man with wrinkles on his face suddenly burst into view, "Comrade, where are you going? Can you take a car?"

Gu Chao was stunned. He was about to refuse, but suddenly he thought of something. He nodded slightly, and his strong jawline trembled: "Go to the Third Exchange Street."

In the evening, the sky was getting dark and dark, and the old-fashioned street lamps on the street lit up one after another like magic.

Dim yellow lights reflected the snow clearly. In the night wind, a tall young man braved the wind and snow and finally stopped in front of a business store with a small signboard with the word "pawn" alone.

“Comrade, what do you need?” Sitting in the hall was an old foreigner with gray hair and green eyes. There was a table in front of him, and there was also a woman wearing a ragged coat.

 The woman was crying, holding a thin silver bracelet. It was obvious that the price offered by the old man was not high and she was reluctant to sell it.

When she saw the old man turning to look at the man coming in from behind the door, the woman became anxious. She wiped away her tears and quickly handed over the bracelet, "Mr. James, sell it, I'll sell it!"

 “Comrade, you are wrong, it is a pawn.”

Old James smiled, collected the things, and with a glance, a boy with yellow skin and face immediately handed over seven cents and a bill with a red stamp.

After the woman left, Old James looked at the man at the door with a smile. Seeing the cold look in the man's eyes, he knew that this business was not easy.

 He pointed to the empty chair in front of him: "Please sit down."

 “You accept all kinds of goods?”

“Of course, if I am interested, the price can be higher.” Old James smiled kindly, and when he said this, he was still playing with the seal of International Linkage Trading Company in his hand.

Gu Chao looked back indifferently, unbuttoned his clothes with his slender fingers, and then pulled out a large and heavy package, which he placed on the long table with a "thump".

 Old James had already seen some unusual signs in Gu Chao. Before opening the package, he carefully put on his glasses.

When he saw the contents of the package, Old James couldn't help but be shocked, "Do you want to **** all these gold?"

 “It’s not a pawn, it’s a shipment.”

If you **** something good, the other party will lower the price based on the National Bank’s harvest standards. But if you change the wording and switch to shipping, if the item is picked up by an "international friend", the price will double.

 Old James looked a little more serious when he saw that Gu Chao knew the inside track very well.

He took out a steelyard from the cabinet at the other end of the table. After checking to make sure it was OK, he started weighing: "Oh, my God, three pounds and three ounces! How did you do that? Where did you come from?"

Three kilograms or three taels is not a small amount. The inspections outside are strict. You can imagine how difficult it is to bring it here.

 Gu Chao's face was indifferent, and his voice was low and full of vigilance: "There is a saying in business, don't ask if you shouldn't know."

Old James chuckled, lifelessly, and took out an abacus with agate beads from the cabinet. In front of Gu Chao, he moved the abacus flexibly with his fingers.

Before this, Gu Chao had never met foreigners, but he had a rough understanding of them from the textbooks Wei Lan brought home from the capital.

Wei Lan saw that he was curious and explained it to him specifically.

 Most foreigners don’t speak Chinese well. Their tongues seem to be unable to bend, and their pronunciation is always strange when they speak Chinese.

 But the man in front of me is not only fluent in Chinese, he is also very familiar with moving an abacus.

 Gu Chao couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Old James noticed his gaze and said with a smile: "I haven't encountered big business for a long time. Otherwise, I can move faster."

As soon as he finished speaking, he stopped moving his hands, raised his head and said to Gu Chao: "80 yuan a tael, three pounds and three taels, a total of 2640 yuan..."

Before Old James finished speaking, when he saw Gu Chao reaching out to pack the package and looking like he was about to leave, he quickly changed his words: "Young man, don't be impatient, don't be impatient, I'll do the math again, do the math!"

 After saying that, he held Gu Chao with one hand and moved the abacus with the other.

Gu Chao looked at Old James coldly.

To Gu Chao, 2,640 yuan was a sky-high price, but he was not a fool to be deceived.

 Large yellow croaker is a contraband, so small places dare not sell it, and the ones that are sold cannot be sold at a high price, but the price in big cities is extremely high.

 Gu Chao had thought about this convenience a long time ago. At that time, Wei Lan had not yet existed, or before the educated youth went to the countryside, he had inquired about this convenient news.

 Between 1963 and 1973, the price of gold rose from 240 yuan per tael to 260 yuan per tael.

 Gu Chao never thought of selling it at a high price of 260 yuan per tael, let alone a low price of 80 yuan per tael.

Seeing that Old James was sweating profusely while typing the abacus, he suddenly twitched the corner of his mouth and showed a cold smile: "Haven't you heard a saying? Don't sell good goods at low prices, and good goods cannot be sold at low prices."

"Young people, don't be angry. Isn't there a saying: 30% of the sale and 70% of the negotiation? If you sincerely sell, I will sincerely buy, this matter can be negotiated... I was wrong just now, now let's take a closer look! "Old James kept saying old sayings. Seeing that Gu Chao was not in a hurry to leave, he knew that the business was basically safe.

His expression softened and he said seriously: "You can buy gold from the Bank of China for 262 yuan per tael, but selling gold is different, and some of your gold has already experienced corrosion. It will also take time and money for me to find someone to clean it up, and It will also lose weight…”

Gu Chao waved his hand directly, interrupting old James's chatter, "Let's talk about the important point."

“220 yuan per tael, three pounds and three liang, a total of 7,260 yuan.”

The price of 7,260 yuan and the original 2,640 yuan were almost incompatible with each other, but this price was better than Gu Chao expected.

Gu Chao nodded: "Deal."
