Li Kai said.
Although it is safer to take cash, the gold jewelry he sold were not stolen goods that should be hidden from the public, so there was no need for this.
He chose the same store as last time, mainly because the owner of this store was not so cunning and was relatively fair, so he could consider it as a long-term cooperation partner in the future.
"OK."
The boss took out his cell phone and transferred the money to Li Kai without saying a word.
"Boss, do you accept platinum here?" After receiving the money, Li Kai did not leave in a hurry, but asked.
"I'll take it, as long as it's made of platinum." The boss directly quoted the price, "The recycling price of platinum is 200 per gram."
"Why is it so cheap?" Li Kai knew that platinum was cheaper than gold, but he didn't expect it to be less than half the price of gold. "Can it be higher? Look at the style of this necklace. It's obviously a high-end product. If you put it in a store, it would cost at least six or seven thousand."
He took out the platinum necklace and handed it to the boss to see.
"This is not a specialty store. Whether the style is high-end or not has nothing to do with me." The boss said as he carefully looked at the platinum necklace on his hand. "The platinum material is indeed good."
"Well, this necklace is really nice. I won't pay the recycling price today. I'll just buy it for 1,000 yuan and bring it back for my wife to wear."
The boss pushed his glasses and said calmly, "This necklace weighs no more than four grams. You will definitely make a profit at one thousand yuan. If you are willing to sell it, then sell it. If not, forget it."
"Add a little more."
Li Kai tried to raise the price: "There is also a pendant on it. This pendant alone must be worth more than a thousand, right?"
"I don't know much about jade, and I only recycle gold here. No matter how valuable your pendant is, I can't give you a high price." The boss shook his head and stroked the necklace in his hand. "It's only one thousand yuan, and there's no more."
"Three thousand."
Seeing that he had been holding it in his hand and had not put it down, Li Kai knew there was a chance, so he asked for a huge sum of money.
He is not the kind of person who likes to bargain, but he is really short of money at the moment, so he would naturally earn as much as he can.
"…You should take it back!"
The boss' eyelids twitched and he pretended to hand the necklace back.
"Don't worry, it's not like we can't discuss it."
Li Kai laughed and pushed the boss's hand back.
The two argued for a while, and finally the boss accepted the necklace for eighteen thousand yuan.
As for the pair of jade bracelets, the boss bought them for 20 yuan. This time Li Kai wanted to raise the price, but the boss was unmoved and would rather not give it than raise the price.
In the end, Li Kai got 3,701 yuan, and his empty wallet finally felt a little fuller.
Before leaving the store this time, Li Kai added the boss's contact information.

After coming out of the gold recycling store, Li Kai did not rush back. Instead, he went to pharmacies, supermarkets and other places to shop around.
He bought some emergency medicines, water and fast food, and then returned to his rented house with two large bags full of things.
When I returned to the rented house and passed by the living room, I heard the family next door arguing as usual.
Even through the door, you could hear the loud noise of things being thrown inside.
Li Kai had long been accustomed to the quarrels and noises from the neighbors every two or three days, so he ignored them and went straight back to his room, closed the door and began to organize the things he had bought.
As he was packing his things, he suddenly frowned.
There's something wrong going on next door.
Because the partition wall is made of gypsum board, the sound insulation effect of the wall is very poor, and any movement next door can be heard clearly.
Even in the living room, I couldn't hear it clearly.
At this time, Li Kai clearly heard that in addition to the tenant couple, there seemed to be several other people in the next room.
In addition to the sound of things being thrown, he could also hear a man begging for mercy and a woman crying for help.
He frowned and turned on his infrared vision to look over.
He saw several blurry and faint red figures appear in his sight. One of the figures was curled up on the ground and was being punched and kicked by two figures.
On the other side, a figure was pressing down a slightly petite figure, and the petite figure was struggling violently.
"...This is!?"
Li Kai's expression changed slightly.
Although the image seen by infrared vision is very blurry due to the obstruction of the wall, there is no doubt that the tenant couple in the next room are in a very bad situation.
In addition, the words like "pay back the money" were vaguely heard, so the people who committed the violence should be debt collectors who came to collect debts.
Do you want to care?
Li Kai was in a state of hesitation...
The man next door is a gambler and there is no need to sympathize with him. No matter how badly he was beaten, he didn't even bother to look at it. But the woman is innocent.
Since those guys are doing the job of debt collection, they must have gang backgrounds behind them. If you provoke them carelessly, you don't know how much trouble you will get into.
He has always been a person who hates trouble.
"call..."
Li Kai let out a long breath and decided not to pay any more attention to it.
After all, he is just an ordinary person.
…
At the same time.
Next door.
"Wuwu, no…let me go! Help! Help!!"
The woman cried bitterly and struggled hard. She pushed the man's chest with both hands, trying to push him away. However, she did not have enough strength and was unable to push away the man who was pressing on her.
"What are you yelling for?"
The man laughed wildly and tore the woman's clothes with force. "Your husband Wu Wei owes me more than 300,000 yuan, including principal and interest. It has been overdue for half a month. Since he still can't pay, I will charge you some interest first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a "swish" sound, and the woman's top was completely torn off by him, and the plump white flesh came into his eyes.
The man's eyes lit up, with a glimmer of greed.
Just as the man was about to take further action, he suddenly heard a sound of slapping the wall!
Bang bang bang!!
