"The current market price of gold is 44 dollars per ounce. You have a total of 1050 grams here, about 37 ounces. Our pawnshop charges 35 dollars per ounce, which is 1295 dollars, equivalent to 7381 Hong Kong dollars.”
Jin Binghuan only thought for a moment before giving a price that he thought was reasonable.
"Pfft!"
Gu Mingxuan nearly spat out the tea he had just drunk.
"Ah Xuan, are you not satisfied with this price? To be honest, I've already given you a very affordable price. "Think about it carefully. If you take this batch of gold to the market and exchange it for money, you will definitely get into trouble."
Jin Binghuan knew that people who came to the pawnshop to pawn this kind of gold bars were usually because the origin of the gold bars was unknown.
He was very clear about the Gu family's situation. They had filed for bankruptcy with the bank more than ten years ago, and it had taken them more than ten years to pay off their debts. If the bank found out that the Gu family still had gold bars hidden, it would be a small matter if they used them to pay off their debts. If they were not careful, they might even be sued.
If Jin Binghuan knew that Gu Mingxuan had already paid off his debt to the bank, he would not think so.
At this moment, Gu Mingxuan was thinking about a problem. Was the price of gold so low now?
Jin Binghuan wouldn't lie to him with this, because he would know if he went to the financial market.
Unfortunately, he didn't have money now. It might not be a bad idea to hoard gold. The price of gold would probably skyrocket in the 1980s.
"Forget it, Uncle Jin. Give me a receipt."
Gu Mingxuan thought for a while. He was in urgent need of money now. A few thousand yuan was still money. He would just leave the gold bars in the pawnshop for safekeeping.
"Xuan, you have to think carefully. According to the rules of the pawnshop, if you pawn it alive, you can only get two-thirds of the 7381 Hong Kong dollars, which is 4920 dollars. The remaining one-third of the money will be counted as a handling fee. When you redeem it, you still have to pay 7381 yuan.”
Pausing for a moment, Jin Binghuan continued,"Personally, I advise you to die. That way, you can get 7381 yuan!”
Jin Binghuan had advised Gu Mingxuan to die out of good intentions.
Since 45 years, the international financial market has been marked with one ounce of gold =35 US dollars. It has been more than 20 years now. The price of gold is only 44 US dollars per ounce. The increase can be said to be terrifyingly small. If Gu Mingxuan kept the gold and waited for it to rise in value, the increase in value would definitely not be as much as the pawn shop's handling fee.
"Uncle Jin, you don't have to say anymore. I've decided to live."
Gu Mingxuan was not stupid. In ten years, the price of gold would increase by at least ten times.
When the time came, even if he paid the 2,000 yuan handling fee, it would not be a problem. Of course, the gold shop would not keep it for ten years. However, Gu Mingxuan had no choice now. He needed money.
Jin Binghuan did not try to persuade him anymore when he saw how insistent he was.
After the staff weighed it, it was 1049.9 grams!
Jin Binghuan didn't care about the 0.1 gram and gave Gu Mingxuan 4920 yuan. He also gave him a two-year current account."Ah Xuan, don't say that your Uncle Jin doesn't take care of you. Originally, this kind of thing only has a one-year current account. Now, I've given you an extra year, and I'm not charging you an extra storage fee
."
Gu Mingxuan immediately expressed his gratitude.
After leaving the pawnshop, Gu Mingxuan thought about it and went to a crematorium. He spent 2,000 Hong Kong dollars to buy a crematorium for Li Xiulian.
He had no choice. Graveyards were too expensive for the current Gu Mingxuan!
Even if they managed to buy a cemetery, the location would definitely not be good. It would be better to put his mother's ashes in the altar now. When he became rich in the future, he would find the best cemetery for his mother.
Gu Mingxuan raised his head and looked at the peak of Taiping Mountain in the distance. Perhaps it would be nice to be with those wealthy people.
After that, Gu Mingxuan contacted the funeral parlor and spent 800 yuan to arrange a cremation.
He only had 2122 yuan left.
According to Hu Yanni, his small cart, money, and everything else in it were all detained at the police station. He would only be able to take them away after he went to make a statement.
After a busy morning, Gu Mingxuan bought some food for Hu Yanni.
The three days of the wake quickly passed.
Gu Mingxuan and Hu Yanni arrived at the funeral parlor in Sham Shui Po. After Li Xiulian's body was cremated, Gu Mingxuan held Li Xiulian's urn while Hu Yanni held her portrait. Accompanied by a group of neighbors and friends, the two of them prepared to leave the funeral parlor for the shrine in Sham Shui Po.
Gu Mingxuan noticed that something was amiss the moment he left the funeral parlor. There were too many people on the street, and there were even some people holding cameras?
Oh no, Sister Yanni!
Gu Mingxuan had been so busy these past few days that he had forgotten that Hu Yanni was a public figure.
Sure enough, when the surrounding crowd and reporters saw Hu Yanni in plain clothes coming out of the funeral parlor, they immediately exploded.
"So the rumors are true! I
didn't expect Hu Yanni to really get married!”
"Sigh, it's a pity that Miss Hu chose such a poor person."
"I heard that the man's family is in the slums of Sham Shui Po."
"Don't say that. I think I know that man's surname is Gu. He's the one who sells peanut candies from Gu's. Although he's poor, he's very hardworking.""Now that
you mention it, I remember. That night, he was the one who slashed people on the street, right?"”
"Is that man from the underworld?”
The crowd discussed animatedly.
Previously, they had only heard about it, but now that they had seen Hu Yanni in plain clothes, they had no choice but to believe her."Hu Yanni was already married.
