In fact, Chen Jin was also worried that if he sold too much gold in one go, it would attract the attention and curiosity of others.
But Xing Hai Technologies, which he had founded, was still in its infancy.
He needed a large amount of capital investment!
He had to gather 400 million in cash in a short period of time.
Other than selling more gold, he couldn't think of any other way to earn more money in a short period of time.
Moreover, he had a gun in his hand!
On planet Haierfa, there was a special type of robot that had undergone humanoid processing. Its surface was covered with silicone skin, and hair was planted on the top of its head. Its eyes, nose, mouth, and other facial features were the same as a human's. After it put on clothes, it did not look any different from a human.
There were some with hot bodies and sweet looks who could bring a close to the real OOXX experience.
This type of robot was called "Simulation Robot", and it was not rare. Many otakus had it in their homes.
It was just that the robot exploration team that Chen Jin had sent out had all been infected with the reboot virus and could not be brought back to Earth for use.
If he could pick up a production line of artificial robots, or a batch of artificial robots that had just left the factory and were not yet in use, he could bring a batch of artificial robots to Earth to act as his bodyguards and protect his personal safety.
There were even some tall, burly, agile, and extremely strong simulation robots that were originally bodyguards. They were equipped with powerful combat skills and had the combat strength of special forces soldiers.
Moreover, most of the bodyguard robots were not bound by the "Three Laws of Robotics". If the protected target was attacked and fell into danger, the bodyguard robot could use all means to fight back against the attacker and protect the target's safety.
Therefore, Chen Jin hoped to have a few professional bodyguard robots by his side, uninfected by the virus, to protect him at all times.
In this way, he would not be afraid of any private forces coveting him!
Of course, he would not be able to win against the state apparatus. Chen Jin was well aware of this!
Therefore, for the sake of safety, it was better for him to not make a move on gold if he could.
"It's a special period now. When Xing Hai Technologies develops and the Wa-wah robot sells well in the market, we'll earn a lot of money. The financial pressure will be reduced, and we won't need to send gold to the jewelry shops anymore. Or we can maintain a steady flow of money.
The jewelry store's Lunar New Year promotion would last until Lunar New Year's Eve.
During the promotion period of half a month.
In addition, there were all kinds of eye-catching activities.
The sales volume of Forever Jewels had almost broken through the sky!
The average daily sales volume was close to 20 million!
Gold, silver, and jewels were bought like vegetables.
As there were many newlyweds getting married at the end of the year, many nouveau riche parents bought jewelry by the kilogram when they came to Forever Jewels. There were even some who bought more than ten kilograms of jewelry in one go.
The prosperity of the business left everyone dumbfounded.
Within a short span of 10 days, the 800 kilograms of gold that Chen Jin had taken out and exchanged for gold jewelry were basically all sold out.
Even the 30-kilogram heavy gold brick in the glass case caught the eye of a wealthy customer. He took out 8.64 million and bought it along with the glass case!
The 200 million that Chen Jin needed was basically gathered in a short span of 10 days!
He sighed and said, "It seems that the purpose of my jewelry store is to prove how many tycoons there are in Shang Hai City and how rich they are."
"Compared to these tycoons, I'm just a beginner!"
…
February 8th.
On the 30th of the Lunar New Year.
The booming business of the jewelry store finally cooled down … After all, everyone was celebrating the New Year.
In addition, due to the return of migrant workers, close to 50% of the population of Shang Hai had migrated back to their hometowns. The entire city was empty and had become exceptionally deserted.
Including the employees in the jewelry store, half of them had gone home on holiday. Only seven or eight people were left in the store, greeting customers listlessly.
After returning to the store to settle some matters, Chen Jin saw that Guo Yan, the head shop assistant, was still in the store … As an old employee, she had the opportunity to go home for the New Year.
Chen Jin walked over and asked, "Hey, Guo Yan, why didn't you go home? You can take your time with work, but you still have to go home once during the New Year. "
"Go home?"
Guo Yan, who was wiping a piece of jade with a silk cloth, raised her eyelids. She looked tired and melancholic. She said in a low voice, "I don't really want to go home."
Why would she go home?
Every year when she went home, the first thing her mother would ask her was, "How much money did you bring home this year? Quickly take it out for mom to keep. "
When she brought home a lot of money, her mother would be very happy. She would praise her filial piety and give birth to a good daughter.
When she brought home less money, her mother's face would turn ugly. She would complain that she was useless, lazy, and only made so little money all year round.
Then, she would have to do all kinds of housework, such as washing clothes and cooking. Her father was left to her to take care of, and she had to do all the social interactions. Her mother, on the other hand, played cards from day to night, and was very happy.
She was mentally exhausted!
There was no hope at all.
This year, however, was her luckiest year, and she earned the most money.
In just these four months of working at Forever Jewels, she had saved more than $50,000 after deducting various expenses and paying off a few credit cards.
As the saying goes, "The more you gain, the deeper your understanding."
Guo Yan knew that even if she handed over all of the $50,000 to her mother, she would only get a few days of compliments. She would still have to do what she had to do.
If she had bad luck in the coming year and handed over less money, she would still get a cold face and a scolding. There would be more things to do.
In the past, she had worked so hard just for a few words of praise from her mother.
As for her younger brother who was in university, he had a girlfriend, and his monthly expenses had increased to $4,000 to $5,000. Every month, he would call her to ask for money, and every time he spoke, he would add, "Mom said so."
Her heart turned cold.
She had finally thought it through.
She no longer had high expectations for that family.
She would transfer $20,000 back, and then use work as an excuse that she was busy, saying that she would not be coming home this year.
Her mother only said, "Oh." She did not even say "Take care of your health." Then, she hung up the phone … Guo Yan could vaguely hear the sound of mahjong.
"You don't want to go home?"
Chen Jin looked at her with some surprise. He could feel a faint sadness from her.
It was the Spring Festival, a time when thousands of families were reunited. There was actually someone who did not want to go home?
Shaking his head, he guessed that there must be some inconvenient circumstances in Guo Yan's family. But …
What did other people's private affairs have to do with him?
He only comforted her politely, "The weather is getting colder these days. Wear more clothes, don't work too hard, and take more rest."
"Okay!"
Guo Yan nodded, feeling warmth in her heart.
…
The Court of Happiness.
He returned to his own home.
"Mr. Chen, there's a delivery for you. Please sign for it!" The diligent delivery man delivered a pile of parcels to the door.
"Thank you!"
After signing for it, he looked at the pile of ten cartons in front of him. He could not help but be overjoyed.
