Melting Gold
The post-apocalyptic world, where human order collapses, completely unleashes humanity.
Everything becomes a hundred times more forbidden.
But modern Earth is different, it's a complete society of human order, a society of the rule of law.
Zhou Qiang greedily breathed in a few mouthfuls of air filled with automobile exhaust before he was checking his haul.
A bag full of ornaments.
Conservative estimate, no less than three million.
The moment the bag was opened, in the sunlight, it almost shook Zhou Qiang's eyes.
Before crossing over, Zhou Qiang was just an ordinary employee of a company.
When acquiring the zombie manufacturing system, the first day of the three days of mandatory teleportation, Zhou Qiang spends the first day in the company, just soulful, he wonders if it's a prank.
It was the next day that the system was squared away.
The third day was only hastily prepared.
Instead of quitting, I took three days off.
It was natural for an ordinary person to lose his temper when confronted with gold worth no less than three million dollars.
"Hiss!"
Zhou Qiang held back his joy and calmed himself down.
Some of this gold in front of me is no different from a pile of scrap metal if it can't be exchanged for money.
But there is no way to explain where this gold came from.
It's not that you can't make a move, it's that this is not the right look to make a move.
In the age of information, all this is naturally not difficult, and Zhou Qiang quickly found a way through Chidu.
For example, melting it down into gold nuggets and then selling it through unorthodox channels at a price that is far lower than the market price.
In the face of great profit, no one cares where your gold comes from.
"That works."
Zhou Qiang lit a cigarette and made plans as he smoked.
First of all gold doesn't have a high melting point, a flame gun will do the trick.
There's no need to talk about shape after melting, and anyway, people don't look at form, they look at weight.
For sale, it's definitely not a good idea to go to one of the regular few major gold houses.
In every city, there are countless small gold stores, what high price recycling gold and so on the signboard, simply do not be too blunt.
Lose a certain amount of interest in exchange for a successful take off.
For this gold came easily to Zhou Qiang, it was acceptable.
"Open up!"
Time constraints have made Zhou Qiang thunderous.
Hiding the gold under the bed, Zhou Qiang went out of the rental house.
Unlike the moment before, now that he was in this busy street of traffic and looking at a human face, Zhou Qiang could let himself relax all over and his nerves were no longer tense.
The grocery store was full of flame guns, and Zhou Qiang spent a few hundred dollars on a few of them.
What little money there was was instantly halved.
Now Zhou Qiang was left with a few hundred dollars all over his body.
"The other discovery is time."
Zhou Qiang looked at his watch and realized that the time in modern times and the end times were equal.
If it's twelve o'clock noon here, it must be twelve o'clock when you've traveled to the end times.
This discovery, no harm done.
Zhou Qiang took out his cell phone, in WeChat there are quite a lot of information, a few groups of chat records are 99 + status.
At the first moment, Zhou Qiang selectively clicked on one of his top avatars.
The avatar is a picture of a fresh girl.
Lu Yao, a colleague of Zhou Qiang's company, is also the object of Zhou Qiang's pursuit.
"Zhou Qiang, what are you doing on vacation?"
This message was sent by Zhou Qiang on his first day of vacation.
"Yes? I have a bit of a cold, can you send over some cold medicine?"
This one, on the other hand, was sent at nine o'clock the night before.
It is impossible to reply to Zhou Qiang in the last days.
That's why the third message was a questioning with a slight reproach, "Zhou Qiang, you weren't treating people like this before."
Zhou Qiang smiled slightly.
There's no denying that some of these chats are like those of a couple.
But Zhou Qiang and Lu Yao, they hadn't gotten to that point yet.
It's just a matter of being nice to each other.
Fingers crossed, for the girl he had a crush on and wanted to pursue, Zhou Qiang of course was the first to reply, "Yao Yao, something happened at my home, I took a leave to go home. I'm really sorry ah, are you feeling better from your cold now?"
After sending it, Zhou Qiang tapped the second message.
"Keiko, what happened to take three days off?"
"If there's anything, branch out."
"If you're short of money, I've got five thousand more saved up here, so I'll lend it to you first?"
Zhou Qiang smiled, his heart warming a little.
In this company for several years, Zhou Qiang's best friend is a colleague Li Ying, the two relationships are also the most iron, often get together and talk about the dream.
Unfortunately, what dreams can two people with average education and no background have?
A few years, but not in the company, at ease with a few thousand dollars in salary, in this busy city slowly will be their own all the edges and dreams to be smoothed out?
"Something came up at home and went back."
"The usual place tonight."
After sending these two messages, Zhou Qiang opened the third message, which was from his own sister.
"Brother, I got a scholarship, save this money, three months won't be a problem, you don't have to pay me."
"Brother, you're not so young anymore, hurry up and find me a sister-in-law."
The message was followed by a quirky emoji.
Zhou Qiang's face showed a touch of tenderness, his sister Zhou Ning's face appeared in his mind, he held a cigarette in his mouth, and his hand typed quickly on the screen, "What words, it is only right that a brother gives his sister money to spend, and there is no need to save it for his brother, this month, my brother will issue a bonus, and change a better cell phone for you."
"Sister-in-law, I'm sure there will be, don't worry."
With the zombie manufacturing system in place, Zhou Qiang had a bottom line.
Not to mention, there are millions of dollars of gold on hand right now waiting to be taken off the market.
After replying once, Zhou Qiang returned to the rental house.
Take out the mold, Zhou Qiang from under the bed to take out the gold, these exquisite gold jewelry, a look know from the master's hand, just melt, Zhou Qiang more or less some reluctance.
After thinking about it for a while, I picked a few of the most beautiful and delicate ones from them, one for Lu Yao, one for my own sister, and my own parents ...
The others, under the heat of the flame gun, quickly dissolved into a cloud of golden liquid.
It took two hours, late in the evening, to melt down all this gold jewelry, which was divided into twenty pieces.
The weight of each piece, controlled between 300-400 grams.
Total weight is 7215 grams.
At today's gold prices, that translates back to over three million dollars.
The haul from this trip was much more than that, there were some diamond rings and emeralds that were equally valuable.
Of course, the diamond ring out even less easy, the main thing this thing is more the result of market speculation, you buy expensive, sell can be cheap to let you meat pain.
The diamond ring, necklace and emerald jade were wrapped and tucked back under the bed.
Zhou Qiang packed these gold nuggets one by one and left the rental house.
What he's trying to do now is to spread out the gold out of his hands, one or two pieces from a gold store, a few pieces out of an area, spreading the influence.
Otherwise what will people think when you bring out a few pounds of gold?
