Chapter 22: Selling White Silver (Seeking Collector)

  【Three more deliveries, please support our fellow villagers! 】 Li Jie is the daughter of Li Dushan, the owner of Yonghe Building. She rarely comes to this side of the gold shop, but today she temporarily replaced her father who went out to eat and ran into Duan Lei, a foolish young man.

  Generally speaking, old brands like Yonghe Tower have relatively fixed channels for purchasing goods. In most cases, they only trust clients who are well-known to them and rarely trade with strangers. As a century-old brand, Yonghe Tower tries its best to avoid buying gold and silver of unknown origin in order to avoid unnecessary trouble.

  Of course, there will also be some gold shops that ignore these taboos and welcome all comers!

  After all, gold and silver materials with unknown origins have a competitive advantage in terms of price. Some gold shops, considering the cost, sometimes turn a blind eye.

  Looking at Duan Lei's careless appearance, Li Jie guessed it in one glance that Duan Lei was a rookie who didn't know some of the unspoken rules in this line of work.

  "Little brother, I don't know where these silver bars of yours came from?" Li Jie thought for a moment and decided to get straight to the point.

  Perhaps Duan Yun's simple and honest expression makes it easy for people to trust him, Li Jie took a liking to him and Yan Yuese at first sight.

  "Ah?!" Duan Yue was slightly surprised and said: "Do you mean that when buying things at the Yonghe Building, you still have to ask where they came from?"

  "In order to avoid some unnecessary trouble, we still need to pay attention. " Li Jie nodded and said: "If you are not convenient to reveal, the 'Daji Chang' on the opposite side also has this business, and there is no restriction!"

  Doing business is about harmony and wealth, Li Jie tried to make her tone softer, so as not to stimulate Duan Lei.

  "Haha, what can't be said?" Duan Lei laughed and said: "I'm a student of Haida, this is our teacher's use of silver-containing waste liquid to purify it. Today I just came over to explore the way, there will be more in the future."

  Since he was a child, Duan Yue had been taught by his grandfather that when meeting people, one should say three parts of the truth and not reveal one's whole heart. He naturally wouldn't tell the true origin of the silver, so he fabricated a professor's research group to dispel Li Jie's suspicions in a half-true, half-false manner.

  Duan Yue knew that he would have more silver bars to sell in the future, so choosing a gold shop with good reputation was very important. If he had changed it to an unscrupulous boss who saw that he had a large number of silver bars to sell and had evil intentions, it would not be good.

  Judging from the current situation, this Li Jie seems to be quite good, of course, all of this still needs time to prove.

  Looking at Duan Lei's slightly red face and then looking at Duan Lei's student ID, Li Jie naturally believed what Duan Lei said.

  In recent years, many people have started using silver-containing waste liquid for various purification studies, and the metal silver obtained is sold to gold shops. Yonghe Building also had similar transaction experience, so Duan Yue's words did not arouse Li Jie's suspicion. In Li Jie's view, Duan Yue should be a member of such a research group, coming to run errands for their professor.

  Since the origin of the silver was not a problem, Li Jie didn't have much to say and quickly inspected, weighed, and determined the purity and weight of the silver bars brought by Duan Yue. Li Jie had grown up in a gold shop, so these tasks were extremely familiar to her, and she finished them all in no time.

  "Xiao Duan, our purchase price is now 5 yuan per gram, a total of 5,000 grams, 25,000 yuan. Do you want to transfer or pay in cash?" Soon, Li Jie came to a conclusion, her movements were quite swift.

  The current price of silver in the futures market is 5.8 yuan per gram, but the purchase price of gold shops is generally relatively low, and this price is also known to Duan Lei in advance, which is relatively fair.

  Thinking of this, Duan Lei was somewhat relieved and felt that he was quite lucky today. He quickly entered the Yonghe Building. Not only did they offer a reasonable price, but also gave Duan Lei more security, he had already decided that in the future, all the silver bars he refined would be sold to Yonghe Building.

  "Still cash, then!" After hearing that the transaction was completed, Duan Lei suppressed his urge to cheer and calmly said.

  Compared with the digital changes of transfer, Duan Lei prefers the strong impact brought by a stack of cash, so he chose to pay in cash.

  Since then, Duan Yue has invested all his assets in the technical materials handed over by Dingdang. If he fails, he will have to start from scratch. Fortunately, after a month of hard work, he finally recovered all his investment and saw a golden road ahead.

  This is a successful start. To say that Duan Yu was not nervous at all would be impossible, fortunately he had enough composure to appear quite calm and composed.

  What she didn't know was that Duan Yue's calm reaction further solidified her idea that he was just a errand boy in her heart, if this money were his, he should be excited at least.

  "If your team has any more topics later, you can give us a call!" Li Jie handed over a business card of Yonghe Building to Duan Lei.

  In recent years, with the development of the domestic economy, residents have more and more spare money in their hands, so the business of gold shops is also getting better and better. The demand for raw materials such as gold and silver is increasing day by day. In order to maintain the high-speed growth of the business, Yonghe Building spends a considerable amount of energy on the procurement of raw materials every year.

  Now that she saw the good quality of the silver bars sent by Duan Yue, and considering his clean identity, Li Jie naturally wanted to grasp such a supplier, so as to save herself from many troubles.

  "Uh, if Professor has new products on his side, I'll definitely bring them over for you!" Duan Lei found that talking to this tall beauty in front of him was somewhat stressful. He hastily tapped the money on the table, put it into his backpack and fled in a hurry.

  Looking at Duan Lei's back, Li Jie had a faint smile on her face, feeling that this little guy was quite interesting.

  With a backpack on his back, Duan Lei walked out of Jin Xiang, the noise that came rushing towards him was almost enough to knock him over. The huge difference between the two places left Duan Lei in awe. He really couldn't understand how just a few steps could make such a big difference.

  With 25,000 yuan on his back, Duan Yun suddenly felt his waist straighten, and walking on Beijing Road also made him feel confident. Even the sun in the sky became much softer.

  It seems that the phrase "courage is stronger than money" really has some truth to it!

  This round of experiments proved that the Macca civilization's nutrient solution for cultivating Swallowing Grass is a feasible technical plan. With this technology, Duan Lei can obtain a large amount of funds in a short period of time and wake up Dingding from hibernation as soon as possible.

  However, there is still an urgent problem in front of Duan Yue, that is the supply of silver-containing waste liquid.

  Previously, when purchasing experimental equipment, Duan Yue conveniently obtained nearly a thousand liters of silver-containing waste liquid from the school's laboratory and the imaging department of Erlian Hospital. Now it has been completely consumed. In the future, Duan Yue also wants to increase the number of loofah plantations that can absorb silver, which will require more silver-containing waste liquid. If there is no stable supply of raw materials, everything will be like flowers in a mirror and moon in the water.

  Next, Duan Yue's top priority was to find a new source of raw materials as soon as possible!
