Chapter 139 Getting Rich

After bidding farewell to Lu Tai, Chen An left Keyan Scenic Area and went straight to the flower and bird market.

After arriving at the flower and bird market, he found Jiang Hongxin who was flirting with Xiao Yang in the Treasure Pavilion.

Jiang Hongxin was quite happy to see Chen An coming.

Chen'an had helped him a lot before, and also helped Jiang Hongxin's old friends avoid a lot of losses.

Those people had already told Jiang Hongxin to take Chen An over to meet them.

But Jiang Hongxin excused it on the grounds that it was inconvenient for Chen'an to take the college entrance examination, and only said that he would take him over to see Chen'an after the college entrance examination was over.

As a result, Chen An came to the door by himself today.

"Xiao An, why are you here?" Jiang Hongxin motioned to Xiao Yang to pour some water for Chen An, and he straightened up from the recliner.

Chen An glanced at Xiao Yang who was running away, and then looked at Jiang Hongxin.

"Mr. Jiang, I have something I would like your help to see."

"Oh? There are other things you can't handle yourself?" Jiang Hongxin instinctively thought that Chen An was talking about antiques.

In fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that the gold ingots in Chen An's hands are antiques. After all, they themselves have hundreds of years of history.

"Mr. Jiang, what I want you to help look at today is not antiques, but this."

While talking, Chen An pretended to take out a gold ingot from his pocket.

Jiang Hongxin was stunned for a moment when he saw the gold ingot in Chen An's hand.

"Don't you go to the gold shop to sell gold ingots?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Jiang Hongxin realized something and quickly pulled Chen An into the inner room.

After closing the door to the inner room, Jiang Hongxin came over and asked in a deep voice.

"Xiao An, is the origin of the gold ingot in your hand not very clean?"

Jiang Hongxin, who has been in the antique world for decades, naturally knows that some people will dig some ancient tombs in order to make a fortune, hoping to make a fortune.

However, most of the items unearthed in this way are gray items without certification. If there are no special channels, it will be easy to be caught once they are taken!

Jiang Hongxin also made his judgment after seeing the quality of the gold ingot in Chen An's hand.

With the current alchemy technology, it is basically impossible to have such a rough gold ingot in Chen An's hands, and then contact Chen An's Qujin Store to sell it and instead send it to him.

Jiang Hongxin naturally thought that the gold ingot in Chen An's hand was stolen from which tomb.

Jiang Hongxin's guess is not accurate, but it is not far off. After all, the secret can be regarded as an ancient tomb buried underground.

After hearing Jiang Hongxin's words, Chen An no longer hid or pinched. He just vaguely said that he had discovered an ancient relic, and then found the gold ingots in his hand.

Jiang Hongxin had no doubts about Chen An's words. After knowing the general situation of the matter, he was already thinking about how to help.

"The value of this kind of gold ingot is actually not high. There are a lot of impurities in it. You need to be mentally prepared." Jiang Hongxin said.

He didn't need to tell Chen An to know this. Gold was sold based on its purity, and it was normal for rough gold ingots to be priced a little lower.

"Mr. Jiang, can you estimate how much a gold ingot like this can be sold for?" Chen An said and handed over the gold ingot.

Jiang Hongxin took the gold ingot and put it directly on the electronic scale next to him.

Electronic scales used to mark antique information are also essential items.

According to the electronic scale, this gold ingot weighs 597 grams!

"Looking at the specifications of this gold ingot, it should be that of gold ingots made after the Tang Dynasty. In addition, the quality is relatively average. The price of a gold ingot is about 150,000."

One hundred and fifty thousand gold ingots!

Chen An's heart was shocked.

You know, he has more than two thousand gold ingots like this!

If all this is converted into cash, we can take off directly!

Seeing the joy on Chen An's face, Jiang Hongxin knew that Chen An probably had a lot of inventory.

In order to make Chen An think more rationally, he had to interrupt.

"Xiao An, don't think about this too easily. Even if you have a lot of gold ingots in your hand, there are not many that can be used."

Seeing Chen An looking over, Jiang Hongxin continued: "Gold ingots are unearthed every year, but the quantity is limited after all. Once there is a large-scale increase, it will definitely attract the attention of others, which will not be a good thing for you."

Jiang Hongxin's words were like cold water pouring on Chen An.

Although the officials in this world do not have too strict regulations on the sale of antiques, they have great control over the excavation of ancient tombs.

Some small items such as coins may be difficult to control, but large quantities of gold ingots like Chen'an are still very easy to control.

So Chen'an can't sell all of them, or even sell too many at once!

"Then what should I do?" Chen An asked.

Jiang Hongxin pondered for a moment, and then said: "The best way is to melt them and recast them!"

In the end, Chen An accepted Jiang Hongxin's proposal to recast the gold ingots before selling them, but the recasting fees and the middlemen involved in the transaction all had to charge a certain fee.

Chen An did not refuse this. After all, Jiang Hongxin had already said that he would not accept any money, and that the money was just labor fees for others.

This is what Jiang Hongxin eats. If he doesn’t charge himself, the people in his channels must give some.

Otherwise, why would anyone dare to do this kind of business for me?

Of course, Chen An did not melt all the gold ingots. He chose to keep a thousand gold ingots and exchange them for gold coins, and let Jiang Hongxin melt the remaining 1,385 gold ingots.

When Jiang Hongxin learned that Chen An had more than a thousand gold ingots, his eyes almost popped out even with his Qi nourishing skills.

However, with this amount, Jiang Hongxin was more confident. He directly told Chen'an that he would keep the labor fee to a minimum and never let Chen'an spend a penny more!

In the end, after a series of phone calls from Jiang Hongxin, the deal was quickly concluded.

In order to reassure Chen An, Jiang Hongxin did not let him take all the gold ingots at once.

Instead, Chen An only brought one hundred gold ingots over each time, and waited until they were melted and sold out before moving on to the next wave.

Chen An directly refused such a troublesome matter, and the reason for the refusal was very simple.

"Xiao Min and I are very good friends. You are Xiao Min's grandfather. I definitely trust you."

After learning that Chen An was going to take all the gold ingots at once, Jiang Hongxin felt more moved.

He suddenly felt that it would be a great thing for Chen An to be his grandson-in-law.

With this thought in mind, Jiang Hongxin decided not to get any kickbacks this time.

He will help sell as much as Chen'an sells for free!

With Jiang Hongxin's guarantee, Chen An pretended to go home to get gold ingots, but in fact he played two games of Canyon of Heroes at an Internet cafe not far from the Flower and Bird Market.

Then I went to the hardware store and bought a large PVC plastic bucket.

A thick plastic bucket can hold two to three hundred gold ingots at a time without deforming.

In this way, Chen An transported all the gold ingots six times before sending them to the Treasure Pavilion.

When all this was done, the sky had already darkened.

After looking at the time, it was time to go home.
