Chapter 58 Too dark 【Subscribe】

The citizens of Jili are very free. They can do whatever they want in many places. Even if it is illegal, the official does not care much.They could theoretically go anywhere, but many couldn't get out of their block.For example, the place where Ciel lived since he was a child is only a few kilometers away from the relatively prosperous trade area, but he rarely comes here.

It's like there is a kind of barrier, invisible but extremely tough, which isolates people on isolated islands, so the local characteristic neighborhood culture also has semi-tribal characteristics.As smart and capable as Ciel, it seems that the elders can only join the gangs themselves. His former ideal was to replace Jin Datou as the gang leader in the block.

Perhaps a developed industrial civilization can break down many invisible barriers, because it requires a large number of qualified, free-flowing labor force.In a relatively stable and safe social environment, receiving education and employment opportunities represents more and different choices.The so-called fate, is a person can choose the scope.

However, the status quo here itself is rejecting the modern industrial civilization system and making it lacking a foundation, which seems to be an unsolvable knot.To open this knot, there must be a radical change from the bottom up, which is what the new alliance has to do.The nominal leader of the new alliance, Ciel, was still ignorant at this time.

Society will not only progress but also decline. This decline is sometimes visible to the naked eye. The most typical feature is that in the once prosperous state, many parts have been reduced to invisible islands like Shire life.

People on an isolated island may be vicious, they may be polite, but they lack empathy.It seems that another block is another world and has nothing to do with one's own life. This kind of indifference is often engraved in the cultural genes.For example, people living in the trade zone lacked understanding and interest in what happened on Datougang's territory, and that was not their responsibility.

Sometimes they also show concern, many of them out of curiosity or curiosity, or subconsciously to reflect a sense of moral superiority.Such a sense of moral superiority is sometimes repugnant, but it is not useless, at least it fosters philanthropy, but its usefulness does not solve the root cause.

If someone is lucky enough to break the barrier of the isolated island and realize the transition of class, it is like coming from the block of Shire to the trade area and becoming a member here, but the social reality has not changed in any way.

Sober people are often miserable, such as Hua Zhenxing, the older he grows and the more he understands, the less and less happy he is.The three old men gave him extremely wise teachings, and the developed network information enabled him to understand the past and present of the world, but it made him feel out of place here.

At least Ciel still has his own neighborhood, and although Huazhenxing has learned a lot, even though he has stunts, he can walk hundreds of miles of wasteland alone, but the world that really belongs to him is actually only a small grocery store.

Hua Zhenxing is very smart and tries not to reveal his teenage troubles in front of the three old men, but how can the three old men not see it?His world is very small, but his ideals are very big, that's why he has such a dream.That dream was childish, but it made him feel the joy of a child.Only a child would think that he could build such a country of joy, and the three old men actually admired this kind of childishness.

Hua Zhenxing's ideal is not to draw on graffiti, but to draw on white paper, and then show people that the world can be like that.But in reality, he also had to start from Fesuo port, first build a Keling area, and use it as a base.

Therefore, in the eyes of Shire, the prosperous and prosperous trade area is the biggest obstacle to the creation of the Kelin District in the eyes of Huazhenxing.When Hua Zhenxing stood outside the door of Jindianxing waiting for Xia Er, looking at the surrounding street scene, these thoughts were in his heart.

There are two banks on this street, and there are neatly reserved parking spaces on both sides of the road. There are cafes and fast food restaurants with bright windows.Diagonally opposite Jindianxing is Dongguo Bank, with the sign of the Sales Department of Fesuogang Branch of Jiliguo Branch.Not far away, it is the branch of Yinguohuifeng Bank.

There are police officers on duty at both ends of the street, and patrolling police cars drive past from time to time.The police's eyes swept across the roadside Huazhenxing from the car window, but did not pay special attention.He was dressed neatly and neatly, with a typical face of a Chinese from the Eastern Kingdom. At first glance, there was no danger, and his body did not look like he had a weapon.

Why didn't Hua Zhen go in?Because he was going to be searched, and he really had a weapon.Not only guns, but also paratrooper knives and finger tigers were brought, but they were so cleverly hidden that it was not easy to see.He leaned on the street light pole and used his mobile phone as a cover to extend his consciousness to sense the situation in the Golden Classic.

The counter of Jindianxing is separated by bulletproof glass, and there are many products on display with price tags, most of which are overdue mortgages that cannot be redeemed, but more good goods will not be put outside, because many things here are stolen stolen goods , the owner will see it if it's wrong.The Golden Gang also operates a gray business, which is to help people find valuables and lost things and collect commissions.

The place where the gold sand was purchased was next to the pawnshop, the counter was open, and there was nothing of value in the house except the gold sand brought by the customers themselves, just some inspection equipment.There were three men at the counter who were responsible for receiving and inspecting the goods. They were not local natives but Westerners, much whiter than Ciel.

Small batches of loose mined gold are not accepted here, usually starting at ten ounces.

Ciel brought ten ounces of mined gold with no more or no less, which was actually prepared by Mo Shangtong for Hua Zhenxing and had not been refined yet.He came to the counter and sat down, with two security guards not far behind him.On the way here, he was very uneasy in front of Hua Zhenxing, but at the moment he completely recovered his normal character, put down the small bag in his hand, and waved proudly: "Look, how much is it? I want Mi Jin!"

The first person at the counter pours the broken gold from the bag into a tray, weighs it on an electronic scale, and hands it to the second person.The second person used pliers to break up a few larger pieces of gold, then lit a small spray gun, burned the broken gold in the tray red, and brought it to the third person to see.

The whole process is very simple. According to the rules, the plate of broken gold never left Ciel's sight, nor did he use other equipment in the room to test it.The third person sat there and just glanced at it, then closed his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, he said something that seemed to be an internal code word, but Ciel didn't understand it anyway.

Hua Zhenxing outside didn't understand either, but was taken aback, because his consciousness seemed to sense a slight disturbance. I don't know what was going on, he immediately retracted his consciousness and stopped sensing those gold particles.

Hua Zhenxing just used his spiritual sense to sense the situation, and did not really probe the inside of the gold particles, which was equivalent to just watching and not moving.But those gold particles "moved". This kind of movement is not real movement, but the physical property is disturbed. Huazhenxing has refined the gold particles many times, so he is so sensitive to detect this change.

Could it be that the sitting person was using his spiritual sense to detect the gold nuggets?This kind of physical disturbance is very familiar to Hua Zhenxing, just like his "in-depth observation" every time he refines gold, but he hasn't really started refining gold.Hua Zhenxing knew that he was not the only person in the world who mastered divine consciousness, and he was not a master in this regard.

The stranger should also have mastered the consciousness, but I didn't expect that there are such "special talents" in the Golden Gang.Huazhenxing's first feeling was surprise, but also a little excited.

His Yuanyuan technique was taught by Yang old man, and Yang old man was never willing to say too much about this other than cultivating Yuanshu, just let Hua Zhenxing practice and summarize by himself.The face-sculpting technique taught by Ke Fuzi and the alchemy technique taught by Uncle Mo are all applied skills after reaching the realm.

That person has also mastered the consciousness, so what kind of kung fu he cultivates, what is the difference between it and the art of nourishing the soul, and what other abilities and attention to detail are all of Hua Zhenxing’s interest.On the other hand, with such people around, the Gold Gang seems to be more difficult to deal with than originally expected.

Hua Zhenxing withdrew his consciousness very cautiously, not because he was afraid, but because he didn't want to disturb the other party, but the movement in the room was still clear.The first person wrote a check and put it in front of Charles and said, "3000 rice gold, go to the nearby Huifeng Bank to withdraw the money, or deposit it into your account."

Ciel protested loudly, "So few?"

The man replied, "Your gold is impure, and we still charge fees for inspection, processing, and refining."

Hua Zhenxing outside was surprised again.He knew very well that the purity of these gold grains was around 70.00%, not to mention how high the accuracy of the test was, the stranger who had mastered divine consciousness should also be aware of it.

Huazhenhang can find out that the current gold price is about two thousand dollars an ounce, which is similar in all parts of the world.Those ten ounces of mined gold yield seven ounces of pure gold, worth fourteen thousand dollars.

Even taking into account the costs of inspection, processing, and refining, if you charge more severely, it is expected to be at least [-] US dollars, right?Because gold itself is a kind of hard currency, the value of which is stronger than that of the local currency in the country. Gold trading is different from general commodity trading. There is not much room for price difference, and it is almost equivalent to a currency exchange.

It’s like exchanging U.S. dollars for Dongguo currency on the black market. According to the real-time exchange rate, 2000 meters of gold can be exchanged for [-] Dongguo currency, but the money changer charges a handling fee, so they can only give [-] Dongguo currency.Is there such an exchange?No matter how black the black market is, it is not so black, right?This is many times higher than the cost of money laundering, and it is still a legal business open to the public!

Hua Zhenxing thought about it, and immediately realized the reason, and sympathized with the local aborigines who were panning for gold in the rainy season.They have no means of inspection at all, and they harvest some small gold particles scattered and piecemeal. They neither know its purity nor even know the price of gold, let alone purify and process it independently. They just know that this thing can be exchanged for money.

Those who can go to Jindianxing to do business are not ordinary people in the local area.Usually the leader of a certain tribe, or the organizer of the gold rush, or the gang that controls the territory, collects the gold grains from the local people, and often only gives a very low price.Some people purchase these mined gold through channels, and then get the gold code to realize it.

Only places like Jindianxing have enough financial resources and power to purchase mined gold in large quantities, and they also monopolize the channels for processing and trading.Ordinary people have no other choice even if they find gold, and they don't even have the qualifications to trade at the Golden Code Shop.

Not to mention what Hua Zhenxing thinks, the Ciel inside didn't care too much, anyway, according to the plan negotiated in advance, no matter what price Jindianxing offered, he didn't plan to sell it, he stood up and said: "It's too low, I won't sell it! "
