Chapter 6 006. Selling Dog-Head Gold
Shen Shigang was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at the figure reflected in the lens under the antique clock. It seemed that he was overdressed today, a bit like a shopkeeper.
"I'm the boss," Shen Shigang was a little curious. What was this girl doing here? People who came here either sold goods or received goods. Of course, there were also people who came to hand in their resumes. He didn't know which type this girl was.
Yun Tutu smiled shyly, "I have something here, I don't know if the boss is interested."
Shen Shigang gave a typical smile. He liked this kind of business.
Many of the collections here are his favorites. If it weren’t for the need to support this family business, he would not be willing to display them.
So for him, selling goods is more popular than buying goods.
"Let's talk inside," Shen Shigang led the man to the counter, "Can I see the stuff first?"
Yun Tutu took out a large ball of paper from her bag. Such a casual attitude made Shen Shigang frown slightly. Now he hoped that there was no rare treasure in it, otherwise it would be unfair to be treated like this.
Yun Tutu peeled off the layers of paper and said to Shen Shigang apologetically, "I'm so sorry, this thing is a little dirty, so I used a few more layers of paper to wrap it."
Shen Shigang stared at the piece of paper without saying anything. He was very curious about what was inside it.
As the paper ball was peeled off, what appeared in front of him was a stone covered with mud, and the innermost layer of paper was covered with a layer of mud.
I looked up at Yun Tutu. She was a pretty normal girl. She wasn't making fun of me, was she?
Yun Tutu felt a little embarrassed when he saw this. "I cleaned it briefly before, but there's a lot of dirt on it..."
Yun Tutu showed the small part that he had washed out before in front of Shen Shigang, and then carefully observed Shen Shigang's expression. He found that he was very surprised, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that he had an expression, which meant that he liked this thing.
Shen Shigang did not touch it immediately, but took out a magnifying mirror from the cabinet and looked at it carefully, "Do you know what this is?"
"This is nugget gold," Songsong would not lie to her, and she had specially checked it when she was eating just now.
"This head is not small, but it has not been completely cleaned yet." Shen Shigang observed it carefully, then picked it up and weighed it carefully in his hand.
Yun Tutu was a little shy. "I used a brush before, but these potholes are difficult to clean, and the mud and dust are particularly hard..."
"You don't mind if I do it myself, do you?" Shen Shigang asked Yun Tutu. It seemed like he had found a treasure today. An old friend had been asking about this a few days ago.
"Of course," Yun Tutu was now only thinking about whether this thing could be converted into cash as soon as possible, otherwise if the next order was for more expensive items, she might not be able to pay for it.
Shen Shi just pressed the button next to the counter, and soon a young man ran over from the backyard, "Dad, send the guests away."
Shen Yin, who trotted in, glanced at Yun Tutu and didn't care. Instead, he stared at the stone in Shen Shigang's hand, "What is this?"
"You stay here and watch the shop. I'll go to the back to clean up." The things were not cleaned up, and Shen Shigang did not explain much to him. He directly called Yun Tutu to go inside.
He has quite a complete range of equipment here, including professional cleaning tools. In less than half an hour, the true appearance of the gold nugget was revealed.
"Yun girl, look at what this looks like?" During this half hour, they didn't just work, they also communicated a lot, and even their names changed.
As for what Yun Tutu said, that she picked up the stone on the mountain, Shen Shigang did not ask any more questions, as he still understood the saying of knowing when to stop. "Isn't it just a gold nugget?" Yun Tutu looked at it and couldn't appreciate it.
Shen Shigang placed the nugget on the platform and said, "From this angle, does it look like a curled-up bear?"
"Now that you mention it, it does seem to be that way, like a bear hibernating."
"That's right," Shen Shigang was very excited. "This gold nugget with a shape is more valuable for collection and will be much more valuable."
"Are you planning to sell it, or keep it for your own collection?" Shen Shigang asked expectantly, "If you want to sell it, I can give you a suitable price, and I will definitely not cheat you."
"I wonder how much Mr. Shen can offer?" Finally getting to the point, Yun Tutu was a little excited. She had checked the price of the gold nugget, and Mr. Shen had just weighed it. After thoroughly cleaning it, there were still 659.7 grams, which was not a small amount.
I picked it up casually at the time, just wanting to use it as a weapon, but I didn't expect it to be my first pot of gold.
She rubbed her hands together, feeling a little smug inside. Could this be considered as her turning stone into gold?
"You see, this one has a good weight and is also quite stylish. A collector has come across one like this before, and it sold for 30 yuan..."
Shen Shigang looked at Yun Tutu with an expressionless face, and then quickly said, "But that was many years ago, and the price is definitely not this high now.
Why don't you tell me your price, and if it's suitable, we can discuss it later."
"I don't really understand this. How about you, boss, tell me a price and I'll sell it to you when I think it's appropriate." Yun Tutu pushed the question back again.
Shen Shigang smiled and didn't care about her little calculation. He even admired the girl a little. He could see that she was pretending to be calm, yet she could still deal with it so calmly.
"I won't hide it from you. In recent years, the collection value of gold nuggets, especially naturally formed gold like yours, is much higher. How about this? I'll offer you 50 yuan. If it's suitable, you can keep it."
This was the greatest sincerity he could offer. Anyway, he was just keeping an eye out for his old friend and he wasn't planning on making any money from it.
That old guy lacks everything except money.
Yuntutu had checked before coming here. The previous transaction price of a gold nugget of similar weight was no more than three or four hundred thousand. This boss really didn't lie to her.
"Okay then," Yun Tutu suppressed her excitement. That was 50 yuan. When had she ever seen so much money?
The transaction was very quick. When Yuntutu walked out of the shop again, there were a few more digits on the balance on his mobile phone. His original savings seemed so insignificant.
"Send, send, I suddenly feel like this deal is worth doing," Yun Tutu called for a cross-border express, "Can I still go to the plane where the refugee Xiaoya is? I'm getting a great deal, her life is so hard..."
"Not at the moment. We haven't received any such request yet." Song Song was silent for so long, and finally responded to her.
"Then if I hadn't picked up this stone at that time, what reward would the other party give me?" Yun Tutu couldn't help but feel curious when he thought that he had really picked up a treasure by accident.
"A bronze coin," Songsong was also a little surprised at the good luck of the new contractor. If he brought back the bronze coin, it would only be worth thousands of dollars.
