Suddenly, his gaze froze. "There are markings? ZY Mint?"
"No, the mark must be erased!"
After preparing breakfast, Niu Bi went to Zhou Dasheng Gold Shop on the main street to exchange the money. There were marks on it, and he was about to make a big mistake.
Niu Bi found pliers and a file, and slowly smoothed out the marks on it.
More than ten minutes later, after finally finishing polishing the inscriptions on the 25 gold bars and confirming that there were no mistakes, he put them in a bag and headed straight for the county town.
......
Xiushui County.
Chow Tai Fook Jewellery, Qingquan Town.
"Sir, your gold bars are 10 in total, each weighing 31.25 grams, for a total of 312.5 grams. At the current market price of 276.75 yuan per gram, the total price is 86,484 yuan. Are you satisfied with this price?"
The manager of Zhou Dasheng's Xiushui County branch was a beautiful woman in her forties, who was very polite.
“Satisfied, satisfied.” Niu Bi nodded.
Before coming, he contacted Baidu (a Chinese search engine), and the female manager offered a reasonable price, which was in line with market rates.
"Sir, do you have a bank card on you?"
"Cash, please."
Niu Bi didn't want to use a real-name card because he was worried that exchanging too many gold bars at once would attract attention, so he exchanged the gold bars for cash in several installments.
Eighty thousand yuan, whether it seems like a lot to others or not, was a huge sum of money to Niu Bi.
Similarly, the remaining 15 ox-shaped jade tablets were exchanged at Mengjinyuan and Jinshengyuan, for a total of more than 216,000 yuan.
"Wow...my goodness, I've never earned so much money before!"
One, two, three...
Niu Bi lay on the bed, squinting his eyes, counting the bills one by one, feeling incredibly content...
Half an hour later, Niu Bi took more than 200,000 yuan in cash and deposited it in three different banks, making a simple matter complicated.
However, it's better to be cautious in these matters; better safe than sorry.
After saving up his money, Niu Bi decided to support domestic products and spent 3,300 yuan to buy a black and gold vivo X20, replacing his original knock-off phone with 1GB of memory.
Then I bought a set of Metersbonwe clothes and a set of Semir clothes, both casual wear. I bought Adidas sneakers and Red Dragonfly leather shoes, completely renovating myself, spending nearly 30,000 yuan in total.
"Hmm, not bad. Clothes make the man, and gold plating makes the Buddha. Wearing these high-end clothes really makes a difference!"
Niu Bi stood in front of the mirror in the broken wardrobe, a satisfied look on his face.
The person in the mirror, though not particularly handsome, had thick eyebrows and big eyes. Having just earned his first pot of gold, he was radiant and had a certain air about him.
I still have 180,000 yuan in my account, which is barely enough to keep me out of poverty.
"That's right, we made 200,000 in one go with the portal!"
"Well, the next goal is to buy a new house."
Niu Bi thought for a moment. Although Xiushui County is not a big city, the average house price is more than 5,000 yuan per square meter. He would have to find a wife and have a bunch of monkeys in the future.
It needs to be at least 120 square meters.
That adds up to 660,000. Add in a simple renovation, and oh my god, it won't be less than 800,000.
It seems like I have a long road ahead of me as a middleman.
"Well, now that we have a flashlight portal, we can forget about work."
After thinking for a while, Niu Bi decided to quit his job at the cake shop. With the flashlight portal, would he still need to go to work?
The right path is to single-mindedly traverse the world of Shanghai, specializing in reselling lighters, projectors, and the like.
......
"Niu Bi, since you have been absent from work for 4 days, it is considered automatic resignation according to company regulations. I have already arranged for someone to fill your position, so you don't need to come in tomorrow." Niu Bi had just gotten through to the cake factory manager, Bei Bapi, and hadn't even mentioned his resignation when he heard this news.
The man named Bei Bapi is named Zhang Hua. He is the distant cousin of the boss's mistress. He is short, thin, and in his forties.
Because of his cunning, he was privately called "Old 'Bad Guy'" by his colleagues.
Niu Bi, realizing he was planning to resign, didn't dwell on it and immediately said, "Okay, then when will I get my salary for working 12 days this month?"
A little over 1,000 yuan isn't much for Niu Bi, who already has 180,000 yuan, but it represents nearly half a month's hard-earned money. Even a small amount is still money; having been poor all along, I can understand the pain of being broke.
"Your salary?"
A cold laugh came from the other end of the phone. "Niu Bi, you don't know the company rules, do you? You've been absent without leave, so you've automatically forfeited your wages for the last few days."
"Absent from work? Didn't I call you to ask for leave?"
Niu Bi was taken aback.
He was aware of the company's treaty stipulating that one day of absence without leave would result in a deduction of three days' wages, two days of absence without leave would result in a deduction of six days' wages, and more than three days of absence without leave would be considered automatic resignation without pay, with exceptions for special circumstances.
"You called me to ask for leave? I don't remember that!!"
"Niu Bi, you need a leave slip to follow the proper procedure. Did you submit one? You didn't, did you?"
