American Ranch

Chapter 6

Chen Mo trusted Bai Xiaoou, not only because he was a buddy, or because Bai Xiaoou had helped Chen Mo's family, but because he knew his character...

Even though they haven't seen each other for many years, Chen Mo still trusts Bai Xiaoou very much.

Chen Mo's friends are Bai Xiaoou, Zhang Kun, and Luo Chen.People who can be trusted are younger siblings, parents.But if it involves a lot of money, gold, and other things, Chen Mo dares to discuss it with Bai Xiaoou.Apart from him, Chen Mo couldn't find anyone else to help.

Chen Mozai elaborated on his experience of selling gold before: "Not many were sold to gold shops. Among them, about 1000 grams of gold were sold to a person I know who runs an old gold shop...it must not be too big Question. The other 600 grams or so were sold to six gold shops, all of which were small shops, and sold in three cities and five counties."

"Other gold was sold to pawnshops, some companies specializing in recycling gold and watches, divided into 5 cities and 13 counties..."

Hearing this, Bai Xiaoou breathed a sigh of relief: "You're being overly careful. That's fine... You don't sell too much gold."

"You are an ordinary person. Under normal circumstances, no one will check your account and source of funds. On the contrary, you are a little too careful... But, there are also benefits. How much money do you have now?"

"60 in cash, 77 on WeChat and Alipay. There are several bank cards, and the total deposit is 142 million. In total..."

"277 million." Bai Xiaoou rolled his eyes: "Deal with the money on hand first. Are you sure you plan to go abroad?"

"determine."

"This money must not go through the normal foreign exchange procedures. It is best to go to Hong Kong..."

Bai Xiaoou had nothing to do in Chongzhou, so he started to help Chen Mo deal with the money issue. He went to Hong Kong first, and Chen Mo went to open an international account with Citibank, and transferred RMB into the account in batches.Citibank can exchange unlimited amounts at the exchange rate of the day...

Chen Mo exchanged 367 million yuan, or 39.8 U.S. dollars.

Then deal with the gold...

If you still sell gold in small quantities one by one according to the old method, selling one hundred kilograms of gold and nine pieces with a total weight of 27.59 kilograms does not know that the year of the monkey is coming, and it is not safe.

How to dispose of so much gold at one time and turn the income into legal income? If it is in the United States, Bai Xiaoou has many ways.But in China, Bai Xiaoou contacted a lot of rich second-generation classmates who met in the United States, and finally went to Shanghai to meet a rich man named Guo, who was interested in the batch of gold and dog head gold in Chen Mo's hands...

Dog head gold is not like gold, and does not have an accurate price.

Goutou gold is a natural gold nugget, which can be roughly divided into three types: stone wrapped in gold, gold wrapped in stone, and water wrapped in gold.Under normal circumstances, the price of dog head gold is 5-7 times that of pure gold. Of course, if it is destroyed, it will be worthless.But if there is dog head gold with very good quality, the value will be even more expensive.

Seeing the rich man surnamed Guo, Bai Xiaoou also did some research beforehand. He is a super rich man with a net worth of nearly tens of billions, and he is also a very famous antique collector.

For dog head gold, Chen Mo and the others found a professional person to roughly share the price. If calculated according to its own gold content, the weight of nine pieces of dog head gold is 27.59 kg, the gold content is about 19.5 kg, and the gold itself is worth 585 million.But gold has a price, dog's head price... The final stock price given is 3000 million yuan.

Seeing that the rich man surnamed Guo first discussed the price of dog head gold, he offered a price that Chen Mo could not refuse, 4500 million.

Had he known that dog head gold was so valuable, Chen Mo would not have given out another 100 kilograms of gold...

There are 4500 million, which is completely enough to spend.

The price of gold is 245 yuan per gram.The price of recycled gold is usually 10 yuan cheaper per gram than the market price.Chen Mo can sell more if he takes it out alone...

The total price of one hundred kilograms of gold is 2450 million, which is not even worth as much as dog's head gold.But Chen Mo pays more attention to 'clean' money, money that can be spent with confidence.

After inspecting the goods, Fuhao Guo took out a bowl. It was a small cyan bowl with tree branch patterns, and there was a not-so-obvious blemish on the mouth of the bowl.

"This is a palace bowl with Chenghua blue and white twigs and okra patterns. It was auctioned once, and the transaction price was 1.4 million Hong Kong dollars. I just collected it alone, and there is no official record... There will be a private auction in Modu in a few days. The auction allows buyers and sellers to attend anonymously, and this palace bowl with okra pattern will be auctioned under your name..."

"You want to have a legal income, this is the easiest way."

"The organizer of the auction has a strong background. For some special customers, they will take a 20.00% commission. The money will be deducted from the transaction price, and you will pay it yourself." Fuhao Guo continued with a smile while playing with the dog's head gold. : "There will be an item registration at the auction, which will record your real name and the origin of the item. You can say the origin of the item from your family's ancestry, don't say that it was bought from a street stall... Antiques from the family's ancestral family have no official transaction records. You only need to Pay a personal income tax of [-]% of the transaction price. But if you buy it from a street stall, you have to pay the corresponding personal income tax, starting at [-]%.”

"Private house auctions are very formal auctions. Not only will notaries enter, but even the tax bureau will also intervene."

"At that time, my people and I will participate in the bidding, and the highest reported price is 6950 million yuan. If no one else participates in the bidding, this is the final transaction price. I will pay cash to the auction company...then the auction company will pay you again, and you get it There should be 6000 million yuan, which is clean money. If someone bids with me, I will only pay 6950 million yuan, and the extra money will belong to you personally."

"That is to say, after the auction is over, we have no relationship and have never met..."

There is another important link in this process, the 'hostage'.

Jin Jin and Goutou Jin have to stay with Guo Fuhao, and there must be someone watching...

Bai Xiaoou was the only one beside Chen Mo.

A deal of 6000 million...Chen Mo looked at Bai Xiaoou...Chen Mo didn't know whether the antique bowl in front of him was real or not.There's even a blemish on the rim of the bowl...

The Chenghua blue and white palace bowl with tangled branches and okra pattern has sold for 1.4 million Hong Kong dollars, but this one, even if it is real, has a flaw on the bowl mouth and is not unique. It is definitely not worth so much money, otherwise Guo Fuhao Nor will it be taken out.

Bai Xiaoou also looked at Chen Mo with a wry smile.

He knew Chen Mo's hesitation, and put himself in the shoes of others. If Bai Xiaoou were Chen Mo, he would hesitate at this moment...

Bai Xiaoou pulled Chen Mo to the side: "Or call Chen Chen over, and I'll watch over it for you with him until the transaction is over."

"This..." Chen Mo shook his head: "Is the one surnamed Guo reliable?"

"People on the rich list should be trustworthy." In fact, Bai Xiaoou's heart was also beating drums.

The actual value of Chen Mo's batch of gold should exceed [-] million.

100 kilograms of gold, the real recovery price is 2900 million.The more expensive one is the nine pieces of dog-head gold. The appearance of these nine pieces of dog-head gold is very good. If it can be sent to the auction, after marketing and publicity, especially the largest piece of dog-head gold has a gold content of more than 80.00%. The weight of natural gold nuggets is close to 20 kilograms. In the whole world, there are not many similar natural gold nuggets, and the real price is immeasurable.

Different things can be sold at different prices in the hands of different people.

For example, in the hands of Chen Mo and the others, this batch of gold can be sold for 6950 million, but the actual price is 6000 million, which is already a very high price.But in the hands of that surnamed Guo, the heaviest piece of dog's head gold alone could be sold for this price... This is something that cannot be envied.

"You are alone, I don't worry about your safety...but the less people know about this, the better." Chen Mo scratched his hair: "Then you have to pay attention to safety."

"Don't worry, as long as you don't have an accident, I will be fine. You should be the one who pays attention to safety..."

Chen Mo nodded, choosing to trust Bai Xiaoou.

If it was a trap designed by Bai Xiaoou, Chen Mo decided to grit his teeth and admit it, and it would be better if he went to the United States... That place where he was born would be better if he was stabbed.

Chen Mo has plenty of gold.At the most, it will be regarded as repaying Bai Xiaoou's favor back then...

Instead, Chen Mo was more worried about Bai Xiaoou's safety.

After deciding to make a deal, Chen Mo and Bai Xiaoou took the gold and returned to the car.Guo Fuhao's assistant also picked up the antique bowl, and went to the private auction company with Chen Mo and the others...

This is an auction company that is not well known to the public.Each auction only accepts invitations, or introductions from members of the auction company... Going to the company, Bai Xiaoou is guarding the gold in the car.Chen Mo and Guo Fuhao's assistants went into the company, registered their personal information, auctioned the items...appraised the auctioned items.

It is genuine, but unfortunately the mouth of the bowl is defective. Although it has been repaired, the value is greatly reduced.

Guo Fuhao only spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to acquire this porcelain...

If no one bids higher, let Guo Fuhao buy it back for 6950 million...

However, the value of this piece of porcelain has been increased invisibly. After all, it is a very rare and precious genuine product with small defects and has been carefully restored.

Bought for hundreds of thousands, sold by Chen Mo (if the quotation did not exceed 6950 million, he would have bought it back himself), and got gold from Chen Mo at the same time... Antique porcelain has been sold in the market for 6950 million (the lowest) , which is equivalent to putting a price tag on this piece of antique porcelain... What Guo Fuhao earns is not only the price difference of gold, the price difference of dog's head gold...

Therefore, Guo Fuhao is sincerely trading, and has no intention of playing tricks.

The Chenghua blue-and-white palace bowl with tangled branches and okra pattern was appraised by the auction company, and several authoritative figures in the antique industry appraised it, took photos, and wrote an appraisal report... it is genuine.It can be regarded as rectifying the name of this antique and issuing a 'birth certificate' and 'identity card'.

Next, it's time for Chen Mo to sign a contract with the auction company.

The auction commission is [-]%, and the service fee, publicity fee, etc. are a total of [-]%.

This thing is definitely not worth 7000 million. Although there are only small flaws, flaws are flaws, and the value is greatly reduced.

The auction will be held three days later, and Chen Mo and Bai Xiaoou will stay in the Modu Hotel for the past few days.On the eve of the auction, Guo Fuhao's people went to Chen Mo and the others again, and after verification, they took gold and dog head gold, got on a Mercedes-Sprinter, and went straight to the auction venue...

The Chenghua blue and white palace bowl with tangled branches and okra patterns was placed at the opening, with a starting price of 3500 million, and soon there were bids... The price has soared all the way.There are several real buyers among them, and how many are entrusted, Chen Mo has no idea about these issues.

The price quickly rose to 6500 million.

The rising trend started slowly...and finally stopped at 6950 million, no more than no less, the hammer struck three times, and the deal was completed!
This world is far more complicated and dangerous than we imagined.

After the hammer settled, Chen Mo sat in the VIP box for a few minutes before being taken to the delivery area.There was a notary here, and it was notarized on the spot. After a few minutes, 6046.5 million yuan was transferred to Chen Mo's account at Citibank.As for the tax invoice, I won't get it until tomorrow...

Chen Mo left the address of the hotel, and someone will deliver it tomorrow. Then he left the auction company without stopping, checked the bank account deposit again, and went out to find Bai Xiaoou to inform that the transaction was completed.
