Two hundred million.
Chen Jin actually had two hundred million?
Where did he get the two hundred million?
Of course, it was earned in the past three months from Forever Jewels.
Pfft!
Some people were about to spit out. What kind of jewelry store could be so awesome to earn two hundred million in three months? Wouldn't the sales amount be more than a billion?
Wouldn't that mean that they would be selling tens of millions of jewels every day?
Would it be like buying groceries in a supermarket where customers would have to go in and buy something every day?
Of course, it was not that exaggerated.
In fact, the daily sales of Forever Jewels was only about three million. One-third of the customers were investment-oriented customers. Because it was cheap, they bought those small gold bars in bulk as hedging investments.
There was even a rich customer who was addicted to buying them and bought hundreds of kilograms of small gold bars.
In addition, some inferior gold shops that lacked a source of cheap gold also secretly sent people over to buy those 999 gold bars that cost $298 per gram in bulk after seeing that the gold here was cheap. They brought them back to process them and earned some of the price difference.
In this way, the investment-oriented customers and inferior gold shops accounted for more than half of the sales of the store.
The sales to those regular customers averaged less than one and a half million per day.
Since the jewelry store was located in a bustling area, the efficiency ratio of the store was not very high.
But in the past three months, in order to meet the financial needs of Xing Hai Technologies, Chen Jin still brought double the amount of gold from Haierfa, 200 kilograms per month. Then, he passed the gold to Chiu Wan-Ting in small batches (20 kilograms per batch).
In three months, it was 600 kilograms.
In addition to the 100 kilograms of gold used during the Double Eleven event.
The total was 700 kilograms.
It was converted into a huge sum of 8.2 billion.
In addition to the profits of the jewelry store that were close to 20 million in the past three months, Chen Jin took away 18 million of them.
Just like that, the first 200 million down payment to Ling Feng Technologies was collected.
And in the next two months, Chen Jin still had to come up with 200 million as the second 10% down payment to Ling Feng Technologies.
This meant that Chen Jin still had to sell gold as if his life depended on it.
He had to sell at least another 700 kilograms.
Did Chen Jin have that much gold on hand?
How much gold was left in his gold reserves?
Not much.
There were 865 tons left … After the robot exploration team had carried out three months of continuous searching within 400 kilometers of the Base of Operations, his gold reserves were close to four tons.
All of them were thrown into the capsule factory, where they were melted at a high temperature and made into a gold bar weighing one kilogram.
He could take out seven or eight hundred of them and convert them into cash on Earth without any pressure.
Chen Jin's plan was to take advantage of the upcoming Lunar New Year, which happened to be the peak season for gold jewelry consumption, to sell off a large amount of gold!
"During the Lunar New Year, there are a lot of weddings and weddings. There are also a lot of people buying gold jewelry. This month's sales account for more than 30% of the year's sales. Recently, the number of customers entering the jewelry store has increased, and the sales have increased significantly!"
"Obviously, I have to seize this opportunity and make a crazy wave of gold!"
Of course, there was definitely a certain amount of risk involved, and it would cause a few people to be shocked.
For example, when He Li saw the 800 gold bars and a 30-kilogram gold brick in front of her, she couldn't help but cry.
She opened her mouth wide and her eyes widened. She couldn't help but lean closer. Her eyes were shining and she said with a miser's expression, "So … so much gold. It's all from that friend of yours. He asked you to sell it for him?"
Chen Jin nodded. "Yes, the end of the year is the peak season. He wants to sell more."
"Son, now I finally believe that your friend has dug out a huge treasure. Just the gold in front of him is enough to bring him great danger …"
A bright light flashed in He Li's eyes. My son helped you dig out so much gold, but you're using my son as a tool. It's not too much to share half of the gold with my son, right?
He Li had the idea and the urge to negotiate with that mysterious person.
However, her son was too kind and soft-hearted. He was too insistent on certain principles and trusted his friends too much. If it was her …
If Chen Jin knew what his mother was thinking, he would probably break out in a cold sweat. How could he compare to his mother, who had been in charge of accounts for half her life?
He could only be glad that his lies were more convincing.
Soon after.
With the help of his mother, this batch of gold, which weighed a total of 830 kilograms, was all transported to Forever Jewels.
He asked the store manager, Chiu Wan-Ting, to help him handle it.
He did not expect her to be shocked. She waved her hands and said, "It's too much. This batch of gold is really too much. I really don't dare to go to the jewelry factory to sell anymore." Faced with such a huge amount of gold, her timid side was exposed.
Chen Jin said to her, "Auntie Chiu, the two of us will go together. Let the security guards, Zhang Shunfei and Xu Xin, follow us in the car. The two of us will handle the gold, and they will be in charge of keeping watch."
In addition, Chen Jin also brought a handgun from Haierfa. He loaded it with bullets and hid it in his trench coat, just in case something happened.
"Alright."
Under Chen Jin's repeated assurances, Chiu Wan-Ting finally overcame her timid mentality and agreed to help him handle the gold. Only then did she realize that her high monthly salary of $60,000 was not particularly easy. She had to have a big heart.
Using about three days, 800 kilograms of gold were all exchanged for regular gold from the jewelry factory.
In the following period.
It was the busiest and most prosperous period for Forever Jewels.
There were promotions almost every day. For the sake of sales, all the female employees in the jewelry shop were trying their best to attract customers and create sales.
Moreover, there were two very eye-catching activities:
One was "Picking a Gold Brick with Your Fingers." It was to place a transparent glass cabinet in the middle of the hall of the jewelry shop. In the glass cabinet, there was a 30-kilogram gold brick. Customers passing by could put their hands in and try to pick up the gold brick with two fingers. Whoever could pick up the 30-kilogram gold brick would be the owner of the gold brick!
"Is this for real? It belongs to whoever picks it up with their fingers? Let me try! "
"30 kilograms of gold is worth tens of millions? Are you guys really willing to spend so much? "
"It's up, it's really up. Aiya, the gold brick slipped down again!"
"Go away, go away. My fingers can crush walnuts. Let me try … Aiya, it's no good. The gold brick is too slippery!" This person was dejected.
"Brothers, take a look. Picking a gold brick with his fingers. A 30-kilogram gold brick. That old man can pick it up. The gold brick is that old man. Real gold and silver, my brothers! Look at this uncle, he's about to succeed. Aiyaya ~! It's falling down again. Tens of millions have fallen down. "
Many internet streamers came to the jewelry shop to do a live broadcast. This attracted a lot of traffic and was an advertisement for the jewelry shop.
Even the newspapers and media came to report on this, and it caused a heated discussion on the internet.
The second activity that attracted people's attention was the "Gold Claw Machine."
Four claw machines were placed at the entrance of the jewelry shop. Inside the claw machines were not dolls. Instead, there were gold bricks, silver coins, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and other jewelry (most of them were not made of gold or silver) … The value of these items ranged from 100 RMB to over 10,000 RMB.
As for the probability of picking up a prize, gold was the lowest. It was about 1/1000.
The probability of picking up jewelry was about 1/100.
The probability of picking up silver coins was the highest. It was as high as 1/10.
As for this type of "Gold Claw Machine," one would have to pay 10 RMB to try it.
Even so!
In front of the four Gold Claw Machines, there was a queue of at least 10 meters long from morning to night. There were a lot of players!
This was because this type of claw machine had a 100% return rate. In other words, if you put 100 RMB into the machine, it would pick up an item that was worth 100 RMB … The shop just wanted to use this method to sell more gold and silver jewelry. They didn't want to earn extra money from the customers.
Therefore, there were lucky players who took advantage of the unlucky players.
There were skilled players who picked up the leftovers of the unskilled players.
It just so happened that everyone felt that the gold brick that was worth over 10,000 RMB, which was on the verge of falling down, and was about to be picked up by them … They only needed to pay 10 RMB to get a gold brick that was worth over 10,000 RMB.
In front of the temptation of a reward that was 1,000 RMB, the four Gold Claw Machines contributed up to 300,000 RMB per day!
This accounted for more than 5% of the jewelry shop's daily turnover.
