Chapter Thirty: Enormous Wealth
The noodle restaurant has been open for seven days, and its reputation is growing bigger and bigger. Du Le's gold coins are also increasing in number. Thanks to the promotion by Qiu Qingmian, the president of the Northern Merchant Association in Jinyang City on the first day, not only ordinary people but also some wealthy merchants and nobles know about the name of Meizai Xuan. The noodles are delicious, and the ingredients are abundant. Moreover, the master chefs at Fuman Tower cannot replicate the fire-roasted ham of Meizai Xuan.
On the first day, the noodle shop earned 1239 yuan in gold coins. On the second day, it earned 2302 yuan in gold coins. By the third day, it was a straight shot up to around 15000 yuan in gold coins (including takeout). Seven days later, Du Le's noodle shop had made a full 100000 yuan in gold coins.
Du Le put away 80,000 gold coins into his space, leaving only 20,000 gold coins in his account. Adding to the original amount he got from selling oranges, there were nearly 100,000 gold coins in his space. After several days of hot sales, Du Le went to the wholesale store and bought a large quantity of instant noodles and canned ham.
Back in the rental house, Du Le placed a pile of gold coins on the table. Du Le looked at the yellowish gold coins with both surprise and some worry. There were too many gold coins; exchanging them for cash would likely involve some risk.
The wealth brought by the transmission device is great, but it can't be exchanged for cash every time, Du Le was a bit frustrated.
Alright, I'd better contact the gold shop again and hurry up to exchange some money. Du Le thought for a moment, originally he wanted to find another gold shop to exchange cash again. But thinking about it again, buying instant noodle production lines can't be done in small batches of gold coins exchanged for cash, it's best to exchange tens of millions at once.
It was the first time Du Le had cooperated with Ning Siwen, and he felt that this person should not have any bad intentions. Having made up his mind, Du Le took out Ning Siwen's business card. Du Le decided to exchange 20,000 gold coins, which is equivalent to 40,000 grams of gold.
One gram of gold is 280 yuan. 40,000 grams multiplied by 280 yuan per gram equals 11.2 million yuan in cash, just thinking about it gets people excited.
"Hello, I am Ning Siwen."
Du Le answered the phone and heard Ning Siwen's voice inside.
"Hello, do you still remember me? 2000 grams of gold coins."
"Boss Du! It's you! Thanks to your care last time, our Golden Store made a big profit! May I ask if there is still any 'business' that needs my attention?"
"You're right, 40,000 grams, can you eat it?"
"What?! 40,000?! Mr. Du, wait a minute."
Less than ten seconds later, Ning Siwen's voice came over again.
"Eating 40,000 grams is no big deal, it's just Old Du..."
"Is there anything wrong?"
"The quantity is too large, and the price may be lowered."
Du Le was not surprised at this point. Suddenly eating a batch of unexplained gold coins, Ning Siwen might have some difficulty.
"Name a price, if it's reasonable, be prepared to pay cash."
"250 yuan."
"Okay, tomorrow at noon twelve o'clock transaction, cash, old place."
"Alright."
Du Le hung up the phone, suddenly jumped up, swung his hand forward with force and shouted "Yeah!" with a smile all over his face.
250 yuan per gram, that's 10 million yuan! A truly astronomical sum of money!
Du Le decided that as soon as he got the money, he would go to the Administration for Industry and Commerce to register a company and formally establish his own company.
The next day, bought a new bag, filled with 40,000 grams of gold coins, and put it in the space. Then took a bus to come to Luk Fook Jewellery again.
At twelve o'clock sharp, Ning Siwen was already waiting for Du Le in the store.
In addition to two shop assistants in the Liufu Jewelry Gold Store, there were also two male security guards. Ning Siwen greeted Du Le as soon as he saw him, "Boss Du, you're here, please come in."
Du Le smiled and followed Ning Siwen into the VIP room, where a middle-aged man in a suit was also present. Ning Siwen introduced him to Du Le, "Please don't mind, Mr. Du, this is Mr. Zhao, our store's inspector. We have a large quantity, so we need some help."
Du Le nodded in understanding and put the package full of gold coins on the table, "It's all here."
Salesgirl Xiaofang also walked in and closed the door of the VIP room.
This time Ning Siwen was well-prepared. An electronic scale was moved onto the table, first to weigh the gold coins and then for the appraiser to test their quality.
Du Le didn't idle either, and a cash of 10 million yuan was soon placed in front of Du Le, along with a counterfeit detector.
Both sides work at the same time.
Half an hour later, Ning Siwen nodded in satisfaction and said, "Money and goods are clear."
Du Le said: "Yes, both money and goods are clear."
Two people shook hands, looked at each other with a smile, "Nice cooperation!"
Du Le carried the suitcase prepared by Ning Siwen, loaded with cash, and walked out of the gold shop. Without stopping, he went straight to the coffee shop across the street, entered the restroom, and put all the money into his spatial ring. It was always good to be cautious; only after putting the money in the spatial ring did Du Le feel safe.
Coming out of the restroom, Du Le ordered a cup of coffee and some pastries, sitting by the glass window. Through the glass window, Du Le glanced at the Liu Fu Jewelry store across the street and couldn't help but smile.
Only three people came out of the gold shop, Ning Siwen was escorted by 3-4 security guards, carefully pushing a large box onto a business car. 40,000 grams of gold, the weight is not light. It seems that while Du Le was guarding against Ning Siwen, Ning Siwen was also on guard against him.
After finishing his coffee, Du Le put on a pair of sunglasses and looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to him before slowly leaving the coffee shop.
Du Le's phone rang shortly after leaving the coffee shop.
Du Le took a look at the incoming call prompt and saw Jiang Yun's number, so he quickly answered it.
"Boss, where are you? I've collected some written materials recently and want to show them to you. It's been a week since I last saw you!"
Du Le's forehead was sweating, the weather was hot. To say, Du Le still had a bit of shame, assigning tasks to Jiang Yun and not asking about it until now, relying solely on online contact. Jiang Yun was very serious about doing things.
"I'm in town right now, preparing to register a company at the Administration for Industry and Commerce. Why don't you come over?" Du Le said.
"Great! Finally can have own company!"
Du Le rubbed the back of his head, feeling a bit embarrassed, thinking that Jiang Yun was even more proactive than him.
Du Le had lunch at a fast food restaurant and waited until 2 pm to meet Jiang Yun in front of the Fuhai City Industrial and Commercial Bureau.
"Wu Shao, there's a new situation at the Municipal Bureau of Commerce and Industry." A sly-looking uncle who was following behind Jiang Yun saw Du Le and Jiang Yun enter the bureau and immediately took out his mobile phone.
Five minutes later, Wu Liang arrived by car. It turned out that this despicable uncle was a private detective hired by Wu Liang, specializing in monitoring Jiang Yun.
Wu Liangyi arrived and asked about the detective's situation. Wu Liang was not too unfamiliar with Du Le, as he had appeared beside Jiang Yun before, especially young men, and he would roughly understand them. In order to chase after Jiang Yun, he spent a lot of thought and did not allow failure.
What was unbearable for Wu Liang, however, was that no matter whether it was the flowers he sent, the expensive jewelry, handbags, or high-paying job opportunities, Jiang Yun had not accepted any of them. Therefore, his strategy was to make Jiang Yun have nowhere else to turn.
Of course, Wu Liang is not some kind of dignitary or super-rich merchant's son. The so-called "having no way out" means that Jiang Yun uses his connections to hinder her in the process of finding a job.
This is also the reason why Jiang Yun had difficulty finding a job for some time after leaving office.
Wu Liang thought Jiang Yun would come to ask him for help, but unexpectedly, Du Le quietly hired Jiang Yun and provided her with a job that could support her living. This made Wu Liang's plan fall through.
After learning about the situation from a private investigator, Wu Liang took out his mobile phone and dialed the number of a relative who worked at the Administration for Industry and Commerce.
