Chapter Eighteen The First Bucket of Gold

  Du Le and the salesgirl named Xiaofang went up to the second floor of the coffee shop across the street.

  Du Le was really hungry, so he ordered some breakfast noodles and tea. He also took the opportunity to put all the cheap clothes he had just bought in the black bag into his storage space while going to the bathroom. Then, Du Le took out all the gold coins that needed to be traded from the storage space and put them in the black bag.

  After finishing the matter, Du Le walked out and had a peaceful breakfast with Xiaofang's accompaniment, finally filling his stomach. Half an hour later, Ning Siwen also came back with money and informed Du Le to go for the transaction.

  There was a small VIP room at the back of Liu Fu Jewelry and Gold Store. As the gold coins needed to be tested for purity, Du Le and Ning Siwen spent more than an hour in the VIP room before completing the entire transaction.

  Over 1,000 gold coins, exceeding 2,000 grams in weight, valued at over 700,000 yuan. Fortunately, Ning Siwen withdrew over 700,000 yuan from the bank, so Du Le didn't have a chance to keep any of the gold coins and sold them all to him.

  The original black briefcase was filled with cash, a full pack of brand new banknotes that had just been issued by the bank, emitting the unique smell of new paper money. Du Le's inner excitement was hard to suppress, he did not expect that an investment of tens of thousands would bring in nearly a hundred times the income.

  To avoid disputes, Ning Siwen also verified the authenticity of the cash in front of Du Le.

  Ning Siwen took out a business card from his body, held it with both hands and handed it to Du Le. "Mr. Du, this is my business card. If you have gold of the same quality again, please call me in advance and I will prepare cash for you." Ning Siwen also asked Xiaofang to bring in several gift boxes and gave them to Du Le. "These are a few small gifts, thank you for your support to Liu Fu Jewelry Store."

  "Ah, Mr. Ning is being polite." Du Le didn't decline and took the gift box, putting it into his bag, "I should be leaving too."

  Ning Siwen saw Du Le take over the gift box and smiled, saying: "Welcome, Mr. Du, next time you come to my Liu Fu, all the jewelry in the store will be 10% off for you."

  "Thanks, if there's more of the same goods, I'll definitely give priority consideration to you, Old Ning." Du Le said with a smile.

  Ning Siwen heard the words he most wanted to hear, and his smile grew even brighter. This business, according to the international gold trading price, he would make at least over 100,000 yuan in profit, and if he processed it into gold jewelry, he would make even more. As for the origin of this batch of gold coins from Du Le, Ning Siwen had some suspicions, but he wouldn't pay too much attention to it, because he thought it was impossible that they were antiques. In the thousands of years of Chinese history, he had never heard of any dynasty using gold coins, and foreign countries did have a lot of gold coins. However, the "Chu" character on top was clearly an ancient Chinese character, perhaps some gold coin enthusiasts had custom-made their own gold coins for fun.

  Du Le didn't know what Ning Siwen was thinking, but the gold coins were easier to get than he had imagined. The profit on this was almost driving him crazy. Thinking about it, Du Le got excited again and again. There were still several hundred boxes of oranges in his space, how many gold coins would that be?

  However, Du Le wasn't a fool and had some knowledge of economics. He just happened to stumble upon a suitable market, a scarce commodity, plus a golden country.

  After leaving the Liu Fu Jewelry store, Du Le didn't rush to take a taxi home with his bag. Instead, he found a hamburger shop and put the entire bag of cash into his storage space in the restroom. After all, it wasn't safe for one person to be walking around on the street with such a large amount of cash. Du Le thought that leaving only 20,000 yuan on him would be enough.

  When a person has money, their mentality becomes somewhat different. After Du Le put the money in his space, he felt much more relaxed. So, in the hamburger shop, he ordered a chicken roll and a cold drink.

  After Du Le finished eating, he hailed a taxi and took it to a bus stop where the Yongxing Zhongba route passed by, then transferred to the Zhongba bus.

  When he returned to Yongxing, it was around 12 o'clock in the middle of the day. Thinking of his parents at home and his younger brother and sister who had just started their vacation, a warmth filled his heart.

  Du Le found a restaurant, ordered a large piece of braised pork trotter and a red-braised chicken, all take-out. In the past, even when eating at home, they had never indulged in such luxury. This time, having finally earned some money, he wanted his family to thoroughly enjoy themselves. However, the various wonders of the positioning transmitter were so unbelievable that Du Le himself found them hard to credit, and it seemed not suitable to tell his family about it. Nevertheless, Du Le also came up with an excuse, saying that he had collaborated with classmates on a business venture and earned some money.

  What's most important is that Du Le actually needs to go out and make a name for himself. His father's injuries have been largely controlled, and the money he earns now is enough to support the whole family, which is more promising than staying in the small shop in Yongxing. Most importantly, at home, if he were to be suddenly sent away, he would have no way of explaining the reason.

  Du Le carried two bags of freshly bought takeout, just as he arrived at the entrance of his home, he saw his younger brother Du Tian and sister Du Lan, they were both sitting in the store, seemingly chatting.

  Du Le has returned! Du Lan was the first to laugh and shout loudly: "Brother, you're back!" The two of them ran out to welcome Du Le.

  Du Le looked at his younger brother and sister and felt happy. When they were young, they were always following him around. Especially Du Lan, who was very clingy to him.

  "Brother, what's that you're holding?" Du Lan was the first to notice the bag in Du Le's hand.

  "Have you eaten roast pork and chicken?" Du Le asked with a smile.

  "Wow," Du Tian exaggeratedly said, hastily taking the bag from Du Le's hand and walking towards the inner room, "even if you've already eaten, you still have to eat another bowl."

  "Hum, you're just a glutton!" Du Lan looked at Du Tian with disdain.

  "I'm your brother, no need for formalities!" Du Tian turned his head and smiled at Du Lan.

  Duran's face was full of resentment, "You're bullying me, aren't you just two minutes older than me? Big brother, look at Du Tian, he's bullying me!" Duran grabbed Du Le's arm and shook it.

  Du Le couldn't help but smile, these two younger siblings were twins, when their mother gave birth to them, he and his father waited outside the delivery room together, he vaguely remembered that. At that time, he was already six years old.

  Although our family is not wealthy, my younger brother and sister are the joys of the family, especially my little sister Du Lan, who is the youngest in the family and loved by everyone.

  Du Le walked into the house and saw his parents. His parents were still the same, except that his mother was a bit worried about Du Le attending a gathering for two days, which made them worry for a long time.

  Du Le hurriedly apologized to his mother and told the family about his experiences over this period of time, omitting some of the dangerous events and the existence of the transmitter.

  The whole family of five sat at the table, eating the hot dishes brought back by Du Le, listening to his story, and everyone felt happy. Because in Du Le's story, he was appreciated by a boss, plus the help of his classmates, he made money doing business. His parents were also relieved by this.
