About six hours later.
The team led by Chen Jin returned to the camp without a hitch.
Without a moment's delay, he grabbed his backpack and returned to the bathroom in his bedroom.
"Wawa ~ Wawa ~"
Wawa, the robot at the corner of the door, waved its hand to greet him.
Chen Jin ignored it. He took out the Hua Yao P20 phone from the drawer and turned it on with a long press.
It was as he expected.
124 missed calls.
They were all from his mom.
He looked at the time. October 9th, 20X8, 4: 16 AM. He returned home a day later than the stipulated time.
At this moment, his mom should be upstairs sleeping. But in order not to worry her, Chen Jin made a slight disguise. At around 5 o 'clock, he called his mom.
"Beep …"
The phone was picked up after one ring.
An anxious voice said, "Son, where have you been these past few days? Why didn't you call me? Where are you right now? Are you alright? "He Li quickly climbed out of bed and asked a series of questions in a row." What's wrong?
"Mom, I'm fine. There was a lot of traffic on National Day, so I hung out with my friends for an extra day. I just got home … "Chen Jin explained with a bitter smile. Mom was too concerned about him.
"You immature child. You could have hung out for a few more days, but why didn't you call me back? You made me so worried.
"Mom, didn't I tell you? The place I went to was a peaceful place for cultivation. It's called returning to nature. It wants us to get rid of our dependence on our phones and computers. We have to keep our phones switched off …"
"Okay, okay. Open the door. I want to see you."
"Click ~"
He opened the door. His mom was standing there in her pajamas.
More than an hour later.
First, he made Mom beam with joy. He told her about his travels over the past few days and gave her a pair of pearl earrings. Mom, He Hi, was a success!
…
After daybreak.
His parents went to work after breakfast.
Chen Jin was home alone again.
He went back to his bedroom to catch up on sleep for a few hours.
After he woke up, he did not go back to the camp. Instead, he turned on the computer that he had not used for a long time. He entered the browser and typed "How to open a jewelry store" into Baidu. Then, he hit the search button.
Then, he browsed the website carefully.
Not bad.
Chen Jin planned to open a jewelry store.
It was a jewelry store that belonged entirely to him.
In this jewelry store, jewelry products such as gold, silver, platinum, diamonds, jade, and colored gems were sold.
He also wanted to open a watch counter and put a batch of expensive watches for sale.
In short, all products related to gold, silver, and jewelry were sold in this jewelry store.
Speaking of which, is opening a jewelry store profitable?
Chen Jin saw a few replies on "Baidu Knows":
"The profit of a gold shop can be looked at from two aspects: one is the source of goods, and the other is the price of gold that the gold shop sells to its customers. Gold shops usually bought their goods from jewelry factories, and the factory price was the market price of gold plus a 3-5 yuan handling fee. The processing fee was also 3 to 5 yuan. Of course, it depended on the region. Generally, it would not exceed five yuan.
The gold jewelry that the gold bank sold to its customers was usually based on the market price of the actual gold, with an additional 20 yuan in processing fees and 20 yuan in processing fees … In other words, for every gram of gold sold by the gold bank, the profit was more than 30 yuan. Of course, if the gold element was in a situation where it was high in value and low in value, the profits would be discounted. But basically, it would not make a loss.
As for the source of goods, each place is different. Some are above ground, and some are underground. It depends on your style. The above ground makes less money, while the underground makes more money. The risk is high. "
Another person said, "It doesn't make money. Actually, the gold shops are all very big. The investment for a small place would be 300,000 to 500,000, and for a big one, it would be at least a few million! It can't be done without a brand, and even with a brand, the risk is also very high. This is because gold shops basically don't rely on retail to make money. Also, let me tell you something. Don't do this without some shady background. "
"It's a very big investment to do this. The gold price is very volatile now. Unless you have a lot of money, you should do something else …"
After searching for some other information.
Chen Jin basically had an idea.
He concluded a few rules of the gold, silver, and jewelry industry:
First, the investment was big. A small place would cost 100,000 yuan. For a place like Shang Hai City, the investment would cost at least tens of millions.
Second, making money. This industry was definitely profitable, but there were many ways to do it, and it required a certain background.
Third, the source of goods. There were regular and irregular sources. Regular sources had low risks, but low profits; irregular sources had high risks, but high profits. Of course, the "risks" here mainly referred to the risks of gold and silver goods. If they came across fake goods, the losses would be incomparably heavy.
But what Chen Jin was most concerned about was whether the government's supervision would be very strict. Would they strictly investigate the specific origins of the gold?
He had asked the customer service staff of some jewelry brands about this question, but the answers he got were "not sure."
"Mom is an accountant at the tax bureau. Why don't I call her and ask?"
Chen Jin picked up his phone and called his mom to ask this question.
He Li pondered for a moment and said,
"It's impossible for the government to supervise the economic activities of society. As long as it's not illegal, and as long as no one reports it, the government usually won't investigate someone for no reason. For example, if a person has 1 billion, how did he earn it? Were they all obtained legally? The government can't investigate. As long as no one reports him, and as long as he didn't break the law, the wealth belongs to him.
"This country is too big. It's impossible to supervise every corner of it. That would require a huge administrative cost! For example, the government's crackdown on money laundering has been increasing over the years, but there are only a few cases exposed every year. They catch a few examples for everyone to see. Most of the time, the government won't investigate if the people don't report it. "
In public, He Hi would never reveal these things, but since her son had asked, she revealed a little more.
A phrase appeared in Chen Jin's mind. "Governing by doing nothing, right?"
"More or less. You can understand it that way."
"But what if I found 100 tons of gold? Does the gold belong to me? "Chen Jin asked again.
"No. Logically, it belongs to the country," He Li corrected.
"Then how can I make it belong to me?" Chen Jin was anxious. Hand it over to the country? Hand it over to the country?
"Then don't let anyone know except yourself."
"Oh … I understand."
Chen Jin completely understood what his mom meant.
The core was one word: confidentiality.
Absolute confidentiality!
He couldn't let anyone see through him. He couldn't reveal any flaws.
This way, he could bring the gold, silver, and jewelry from Haierfa to Earth and sell them in his jewelry shop.
He could convert them into the money he needed.
As long as the confidentiality work was flawless, even if it attracted the attention and investigation of the government, as long as he didn't give himself away, nothing would happen.
"Besides, my mom works in a government unit. She's not a big or small official. Why would they come and investigate me for no reason?"
So from this point, Chen Jin was actually someone with a "background."
As for the funds needed to open a jewelry shop, Chen Jin could afford it. He didn't have to worry about funds.
Besides, opening a jewelry shop was not complicated. It was very common, just like opening a supermarket or a restaurant. As long as the property rental certificate, business license, tax registration certificate, and other documents were complete, as well as the approval from the health and fire departments, Chen Jin's jewelry shop could be opened for business.
Chen Jin's jewelry store could finally open for business and welcome the patronage of his customers!
Moreover, even if it was slightly complicated and troublesome, Chen Jin had to open a jewelry shop!
"On Haierfa, there are countless gold, silver, and all kinds of jewelry. If I bring all of them to Earth, it won't be a problem to open a hundred or even a thousand jewelry shops!
But I'll only open one shop. Only a portion of the gold, silver, and jewelry sold in this jewelry shop will come from Haierfa. I'll sell them all together. It will only bring me a profit of 200 to 300 million every year.
Slowly and steadily, I'll let the jewelry shop become a cash cow that provides funds, helping me to complete the primitive accumulation of capital.
Then, with the help of these funds, I'll enter the high-tech industry, earn more profits, and create greater success! "
