The citizens of Kiri Country are very free and can do whatever they want in many places. Even if it is illegal activities, the officials do not pay much attention to them. In theory, they can go anywhere, but many people cannot leave their own neighborhoods. For example, Charles grew up
The place where he lives is only a few kilometers away from the relatively prosperous trading area, but he rarely comes here.
It's like there is a barrier, invisible but extremely tough, that isolates people on isolated islands. Therefore, the local neighborhood culture also has semi-tribal characteristics. Smart and capable like Charles, it seems that his elders can only mix in gangs.
As a gangster, his previous ideal was just to replace Jin Datou as the gang leader in the neighborhood.
Perhaps a developed industrial civilization can break down many invisible barriers, because it requires a large number of qualified and freely mobile labor force. In a relatively stable and safe social environment, receiving education and employment opportunities means more,
Different choices. And the so-called destiny is the range of choices a person can make.
However, the current situation here itself excludes the modern industrial civilization system and makes it lack a foundation. This seems to have become an unsolvable knot. To open this knot, there must be radical changes from the bottom up. This is what the new alliance needs to do.
Things. And Ciel, the nominal leader of the new alliance, is still confused at this time.
Society not only progresses but also declines. This decline is sometimes visible to the naked eye. The most typical feature is that many parts of the once prosperous country have been reduced to invisible islands like the Shire.
People on an isolated island may be extremely vicious or polite, but they lack empathy. It seems that another neighborhood is another world and has nothing to do with their own lives. This indifference is often engraved in cultural genes. For example, living in a trade
People in the area neither understand nor are interested in what is happening on the territory of the Big Head Gang. That is not their responsibility.
Sometimes they will also show concern, often out of curiosity or curiosity, or subconsciously to reflect a sense of moral superiority. Such a sense of moral superiority is sometimes objectionable, but it is not useless, at least it has given rise to
Charity, but this little use cannot solve the fundamental problem.
If someone is lucky enough to break the barrier of the island and achieve a class jump, just like going from a neighborhood in the Shire to a trading district and becoming a member here, the social reality will not change at all.
Sober people are often miserable, such as Hua Zhenxing. The older he grew up, the more he knew, but he became increasingly unhappy. The three old men gave him extremely wise teachings, and the developed network information enabled him to understand the world.
The past and present events in the world made him feel incompatible with this place.
At least Shire still has his own neighborhood, and although Hua Zhenxing has learned a lot, even though he has unique skills and can walk hundreds of miles alone in the wilderness, the world that really belongs to him actually only has a small grocery store.
Hua Zhenxing is very smart and tries not to reveal his youthful troubles in front of the three old men, but how can the three old men not see it? His world is small, but his ideals are big, so he has such a dream. That dream is very
It was childish, but it made him feel the joy of a child. Only children would think that they could build such a dreamland, and the three old men actually appreciated this childishness.
Hua Zhenxing's ideal is not to paint on graffiti, but to draw on white paper and then show people that the world can be like that. But in reality, he must start from Fiso Port and create a forest area first.
And use this as a base.
Therefore, in the eyes of Charles, the prosperous and prosperous trade area is the biggest obstacle to the creation of the Klin District in the eyes of Huazhenxing. When Huazhenxing stood outside the gate of Jindianhang, waiting for Charles, he looked at the surrounding street scene, and these were the thoughts in his mind.
There are two banks on this street. There are neatly designated parking spaces on both sides of the road. There are cafes and fast food restaurants with bright windows. Diagonally opposite Jindian Bank is Dongguo Bank, with the business department of the Feiso Port Branch of Kililiguo Branch hanging on it.
The sign. Not far ahead is the branch of Yinguo Huifeng Bank.
There were police on duty at both ends of the street, and police cars patrolling the street from time to time. The police glanced at Huazhenxing on the roadside through the car window, and did not pay special attention. He was clean and neatly dressed, a typical donkey.
The face of the Guohua tribe does not look dangerous at first glance, and they do not look like they have weapons on them.
Why didn't Hua Zhenxing go in? Because he had to be searched when he went in, and he actually brought weapons. Not only did he bring a gun, but he also brought a paratrooper knife and a finger tiger, but they were hidden so cleverly that it was not easy to see. He leaned against a street light pole to brush
The mobile phone is used as a cover to extend the spiritual consciousness to sense the situation in Jindianxing.
The counter of Jindianxing is separated by bulletproof glass. There are many products with price tags on display inside. Most of them are overdue mortgages that have not been redeemed, but more good goods will not be left outside because many of the things here are stolen goods.
, the owner will see it if he doesn’t get it right. The Golden Gang also runs a gray business, which is to help people find valuable lost items and collect commissions.
The place where gold sand is purchased is next to the pawn shop. The counter is open. Apart from the gold sand brought by the customers themselves, there are no other valuable things in the room. There are only some inspection equipment. There are three men at the counter, who are responsible for receiving and inspecting the goods.
He is not a local aboriginal but has a Western face, much whiter than the Shire.
We do not accept small batches of loose ore gold here, usually starting from ten ounces.
Charles brought no more than ten ounces of gold, which was actually prepared by Mo Shangtong for Huazhenxing and had not yet been refined. He came to the counter and sat down. There were two security guards not far behind him. On the way here,
He acted very nervous in front of Hua Zhenxing, but at this moment he completely returned to his normal self. He put down the small bag in his hand and waved proudly: "Take a look, how much is it? I want rice gold!"
The first person at the counter poured the broken gold in the bag into a tray, weighed it on an electronic scale, and then handed it to the second person. The second person used pliers to crush a few larger gold particles, and then
He lit a small spray gun and burned the broken gold in the tray until it was red, and then brought it over to the third person to see.
The whole process was very simple. According to the rules, the plate of broken gold never left Charles's sight, and no other equipment in the room was used to check it. The third person sat there and just glanced at it, then closed his eyes and opened them again.
With his eyes open, he said something expressionless, which seemed to be an internal code word, but Charles didn't understand it anyway.
Hua Zhenxing outside didn't understand either, but he was surprised because his consciousness seemed to sense a weak disturbance. He didn't know what the situation was, so he immediately withdrew his consciousness and no longer sensed those gold particles.
Hua Zhenxing just used his spiritual consciousness to sense the situation, and did not really explore the inside of those gold particles, which was equivalent to just looking without moving. But those gold particles "moved", this kind of movement was not real movement, but
The physical properties are disturbed. Hua Zhenxing has refined the gold particles many times before he can be so sensitive to detect this change.
Could it be that the person sitting there is using his spiritual consciousness to detect the gold particles? Hua Zhenxing is familiar with this kind of physical disturbance, just like his "in-depth observation" every time he refines gold, but he has not really started to refine gold. Hua Zhenxing knows it clearly
, I am not the only person in the world who has mastered spiritual consciousness, and I am not yet a master in this regard.
The stranger should also have mastered spiritual consciousness. He didn't expect that there was such a "special talent" in the Golden Gang. Hua Zhenxing's first feeling was surprise, but also a little excited.
His Yuan Yuan Technique was taught by Old Man Yang, and apart from teaching Yuan Yuan Technique, Old Yang never wanted to talk too much about this aspect. He just let Hua Zhenxing practice it by himself and summarize it by himself. And the plastic surgery technique taught by Ke Fuzi
, the alchemy taught by Uncle Mo are all application skills after reaching the realm.
That person has also mastered spiritual consciousness, so what kind of kung fu does he practice, how is it different from Yang Yuan Shu, and what other abilities and skills are all Hua Zhenxing is interested in. On the other hand, with such a person here, Huang Jin
The 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 alarm 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: "Three thousand meters of gold,
Go to the Huifeng Bank next door to withdraw money, or you can deposit it into your account."
Ciel protested loudly: "So few?"
The man replied: "Your gold is not pure, we will still charge for inspection, processing and refining."
Hua Zhenxing outside was surprised again. He knew very well that the purity of these gold particles was about 70%. Not to mention how high the accuracy of the inspection was, the stranger with spiritual consciousness should also know it.
Huazhenxing can find that the current price of gold is about US$2,000 per ounce, which is similar in various places in the world. Ten ounces of mine gold can be extracted into seven ounces of pure gold, which is worth US$14,000.
Even if you take into account the costs of inspection, processing, refining, etc., and charge a little more, it is expected to be at least 10,000 US dollars, right? Because gold itself is a hard currency, and its value is stronger than the local currency of Kiribati, gold trading is different from ordinary
There is not much room for price difference when buying and selling commodities, it is almost equivalent to a currency exchange.
It's like going to the black market to exchange U.S. dollars for Dongguo currency. According to the real-time exchange rate, two thousand meters of gold can be exchanged for 14,000 Dongguo currency. However, the exchanger charges a handling fee, so it can only give you 3,000 Dongguo currency. Is there such an exchange?
Really? No matter how dark the black market is, it's not that dark, right? This is many times higher than the cost of money laundering, but it's actually a legitimate business open to the public!
Hua Zhenxing thought about it and realized the reason. He sympathized with the local natives who were panning for gold during the rainy season. They had no means of inspection at all and harvested some small gold particles scattered and scattered. They neither knew its purity nor even the price of gold, let alone the price.
I purified and processed it independently, just because I knew it could be exchanged for money.
Those who can go to Jindian Bank to do transactions are no longer ordinary people in the local area. Usually they are the leader of a certain tribe, or the organizer of the gold rush, or the gang that controls the territory. They collect the gold grains dug by the locals and often only
Give a very low price. Someone purchases the gold through channels and then gets it from Jindian Bank to cash it in.
Only places like Jindianxing have enough financial resources and power to purchase mineral 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 even go to Jindianxing for transactions.
No qualifications.
Not to mention what Hua Zhenxing thought, Charles inside didn't care too much. Anyway, according to the pre-discussed plan, 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!
