Blackstone Code

"Not worth the money?" The young man standing at the door looked back from the street outside the window, he couldn't help but also walked to the counter, looked at the boss behind the counter and shouted loudly, "How is this possible, Do you know what these things are, they are all silver, don't think we don't understand anything!"

The owner of the antique shop smiled indifferently, "Do you know how much an ounce of silver is now?"

In a word, I asked the two young people directly, and seeing their stunned looks, the owner of the antique shop said casually, "You can go to the trading market or the bank to ask, the price of silver is about two yuan. Between ten and two thirty-five cents, an ounce!"

"Gentlemen, please note that it's one ounce, but here..." He fiddled with the silver products on the counter, "It's probably less than five pounds. Do you want to weigh it?"

The two young men glanced at each other. They basically believed what the antique shop owner said so firmly.

One of them nodded, and then the boss took out a pan scale, he threw the silver products on it, and then turned the pan scale so that they could see the scale under the pan, "A little more than four and a half pounds, about seven Ten ounces, at the highest silver price, these things are worth a hundred...sixty dollars at most."

The boss quickly calculated the exact price, and the two young men fell silent. They didn't even notice that when the owner of the antique shop took the scale back, there was an obvious and abrupt protrusion under the scale.

They are still struggling with the fact that the price of these things is too low, lower than they imagined. They thought that these things would be worth at least three to five hundred yuan or more.

One of the guys pointed to the ivory comb again, "What about this, how much is this worth?"

The owner of the antique shop didn't even have the desire to pick it up, "I'll give you fifteen yuan at most, no more."

"People who are willing to use an ivory comb and can afford it will not use someone else's comb. You can see that its color has begun to turn yellow, and it will soon become more yellow. If it cannot be changed hands in a short time, it will only get worse The more worthless."

The young man swallowed and drew pictures on the pile of things with his fingers, "These things add up to one hundred and seventy-five yuan, don't they?"

Although this price is far lower than their expectations, it is not unacceptable to think about it carefully. After all, these are just the stolen goods they stole. If you sell less, you will run a few more times. Even if the price is not high, you can get rich quickly as long as you work hard.

The owner of the antique shop sneered and shook his head, "All these things add up, and I'll give you a hundred yuan at most."

This made the young man furious, and the bad-tempered one immediately yelled, "You just said that this silver is worth at least one hundred and sixty yuan!"

The owner of the antique shop didn't deny it, he nodded and said, "Of course, I can buy it at this price, but you must bring it along with the receipt when you bought it, leave your real contact information, and sign a letter of responsibility , to ensure that you bought it from a legal channel with legal money, and that you are not involved in any illegal activities."

"Otherwise, they are only worth this price. If you go to any place in the city, if the price they give exceeds the price I give you, by how much, I will give you more."

It's bullshit, but it's no doubt misheard when people get emotional, but it also makes what he's saying sound convincing at first glance.

If these two young people can really get the bills, they can actually go to the bank to sell them. The bank will recycle various precious metals and even some gems at a price that is slightly lower than the market price by 5% to 10%.

But they didn't. These are stolen goods. This is how antique shop owners and some dealers make money. They have a way to make these things legal.

For example, the top channel for selling stolen goods will take the silver ore collected for a period of time to the cooperative mine. The mine will issue a certificate, and the re-melted silver ingots after paying taxes will become legal property, and they can be sold directly to the bank. , or some jeweler.

Of course, not everyone can do this kind of work, and there are huge risks. In order to avoid risks, many antique dealers who sell stolen goods have become police informants.

According to federal law, when police informants participate in criminal acts or activities, as long as they are not the leader or initiator, and they provide important clues to solve the case afterwards, even if they violated the law during their participation, Liability can also be exempted.

Homicide can be discussed, not to mention such trivial matters as selling stolen goods.

The owner of the antique shop showed an attitude of whether to sell or not, which made the two young people hesitate for a while. What was even more annoying was that after about ten seconds, the owner of the antique shop offered to help them put the things back into the travel bags , then pointed to the door and told them they could go elsewhere.

That attitude really doesn't care about the things they sell at all, and it even gives people a feeling that he really doesn't make money.

In the end, the two young people decided to sell the things. At least one hundred yuan is still money, and there are too many places to go, and accidents may happen.

The boss took the travel bag with a smile, put the travel bag together under the cupboard, paid 100 yuan in change, and watched the two leave.

In this business, he can earn at least one hundred and twenty yuan. Of course, he deserves it. Not everyone can do this business.

The joy of the two young people after getting the money quickly washed away the unhappiness caused by the price, and they decided to reward themselves.

In the deli not far from where they lived, the two ordered two large portions of grilled beef ribs, and also ordered some other things they couldn't usually afford, such as sliced ​​prosciutto.

They belonged to a very loose gang, and the gang's main way of making money was the financial company.

Not long ago, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Federal Taxation Service carried out a devastating blow to the financial companies on the street, and many gangs were also involved.

Some survived safely, and some are still in trouble. Their gang, which was not very famous, was also deeply involved because of this incident. Now the main members ran and caught them, and the two of them lost their lives. place to eat.

If it wasn't for a friend, a blue vest, who told them about the mountains of goods in the warehouse area, they might not have imagined that the money would come so quickly in a short time.

"If you add those things in our house, the harvest this time is almost two hundred yuan, should it be two hundred yuan?"

While eating delicious food, the two whispered about the harvest this time. In fact, what they got was not only the ones they took to the antique shop, but also some they left in their residence.

These things are things that can be used in daily life, such as barbecue grills and the like. This is also where they are different from other serious thieves. Their theft this time is not entirely for the return of the stolen goods. .

But after this time, their attitude has undergone some changes.

"We're going to get something more valuable and easier to carry. Try another place this time. I don't believe that old man."

After eating, the two found their friend, the blue vest who worked in the warehouse area, and they agreed that they would split the money once the sale was over.

When the blue vest looked at the thirty yuan handed over by the two of them, he was stunned.

Although he didn't specifically participate in the theft that day, he knew how many things these people got, definitely more than ninety yuan!

After the explanation of the two, the blue vest looked at the two with unbelievably mentally retarded eyes, "Aren't your brains filled with genetic fluid? If you think the price is wrong, you can change it. Why sell it to that person?" guy?"

In fact, it was the first time for the two of them to do this kind of thing. At this moment, they were embarrassed and didn't know what to say. Looking at their appearance, Lan Xiong had nothing to say.

After about a few seconds, the blue vest stuffed the money into his pocket and asked in a low voice, "When will I do it for the second time? This time I will sell it. You are so stupid!"

The two were also a little angry, and immediately replied, "Just tonight..."

They decided to get more out this time, and then see what the blue vest has to say.

At five o'clock in the evening, he didn't go back immediately after get off work. Instead, he used the reason that the shower at home was broken to stay in the workers' rest area in the warehouse area to take a shower before going back.

In fact, there is basically nothing to do in the warehouse area after four o'clock in the afternoon. At the same time, it is far away from the city. Now the public transportation is basically in a state of semi-paralysis. After missing the last bus at 5:30, I can only find a way to go back.

The blue strap stayed in the bathroom for a while, and when there was no sound outside, he came out of the bathroom.

He came to the outer door for the blue straps, and opened the side door for the two friends that should not be opened after get off work at night.

The three sneaked into the warehouse area quietly, but they didn't know that all their actions were seen by a child hiding in the darkness not far away.

This time their purpose was more clear. It was still the same warehouse as last time. There were not only mountains of goods in it, but more importantly, many of these goods were half-new.

They are not as eye-catching as when the brand new products are sold, and there are more types. They are fully prepared this time, they got a scooter!

The three of them have been hiding in the changing area of ​​the blue vests. It's not dark enough now, and the night in summer always gets dark very slowly. They need to wait until the night is completely dark before they can start.

At about eleven o'clock, the three of them left the room with their tools.

The blue vest was still in the dark, ready to deal with the warehouse security guards who might come to patrol anytime and anywhere, while the other two pried open the small door that had been repaired with ease, and got in.
