through the dark road

"Okay, I have to go to the factory to adjust the goods now. You two sit down slowly, I will take the first step."

Xu Dong patted the closed laptop, winked at Mo Bei behind Chen Ruomei's back, and left.

Mo Bei was just trying to find an excuse to leave when he heard Chen Ruomei say:

"Listening to your conversation just now, Mr. Mo is interested in various metal raw materials?"

"Yes, Miss Chen has some background in this field?" Mo Bei asked casually.

"Don't tell me, maybe I can really help, but I just don't know if those things meet your requirements..."

Chen Ruomei leaned forward, holding her arms on the small round table. The mountains were not visible, but the hills and valleys were hidden inside.

"tell me the story."

Mo Bei still didn't pay too much attention. At this time, he was wondering whether he should go out again. He felt that it was relatively easy to do things abroad and there was no psychological burden.

Chen Ruomei moved her head closer and lowered her voice:

"You also know that our area is based on hardware and building materials as a pillar industry. There is frequent exchange of raw materials. Some procedures are incomplete, or if there is an accident and no one comes to deal with it, it has been detained in the hands of the Ministry of Public Security and the Municipal Administration Bureau. Every once in a while, a batch of items that have exceeded the time limit must be disposed of, so we can’t just keep occupying the space and get rusty.”

Mo Bei instinctively didn't want to deal with any relevant departments. When Chen Ruomei mentioned the Ministry of Public Security and the Municipal Administration, he subconsciously felt that there was something fishy. He raised his hand and said:

"I... I still hope to go through legal channels, thank you..."

Chen Ruomei chuckled when she heard this:

"Mr. Mo, you are so cute. I'm talking about a judicial auction! How come a judicial auction is not legal?"

"Um...what do you mean...?"

Mo Bei didn't care about the other party's teasing. No matter which channel it was, as long as it was not illegal and he could get something, he was willing to give it a try.

"That's the literal meaning, but I heard from an old classmate in the municipal management bureau that in recent years, this kind of goods have often been unsold, accounting for a large proportion, and now they are starting to have a headache."

When Chen Ruomei saw that Mo Bei finally showed some emotion, while speaking, she leaned back on the chair slightly, assuming a rather charming posture. She was already familiar with this kind of aloofness.

However, Mo Bei didn't react at all, as steady as an old dog.

This made Chen Ruomei a little discouraged. Thinking of the girl she saw in the villa yesterday, she really felt inferior.

"Why did the auction fail?"

Mo Bei couldn't help but feel a little puzzled when the woman in front of him changed her sitting position after saying a few words.

From the corner of his eye, he moved down along the other person's well-managed waistline, and saw the fullness and roundness squeezed out by the chair, and he felt enlightened.

She has a nice butt, but she still has hemorrhoids. .

Chen Ruomei sighed leisurely and said:

"There are many problems, mainly because of the price. These goods are impounded there and always need to be managed. The costs are rising every year. Coupled with the poor financial situation within the department, the starting price is now close to 70.00% of the market price of the goods. .

Most of those who will conduct the auction are also the original owners of the goods. Some have already paid a fine, and they are obviously not happy to be asked to buy them back at such a high price.

Another problem lies in those goods. Some steel materials have been detained for a long time and will inevitably rust. Or those steel coils that have had accidents are either deformed or collapsed. Those manufacturers believe that they should be purchased at scrap prices, but this Obviously they won't let them get what they want. The municipal management bureau even wants to bundle sales of similar materials to reduce their own workload. How can they let them pick and choose? So now there is such a stalemate, and no one can get used to it. With whom. "

The more Mo Bei listened, the more speechless he became.

He couldn't even figure out how the financial situation of these departments, which were responsible for both food and goods, could still be in bad shape. .

Forget it, this has nothing to do with him, he asked:
"Then can you help me ask if there is pure nickel and manganese in the auction?"

"Let me ask for a list for you!" Chen Ruomei readily agreed, then picked up the phone and dialed.

After making the call, she said to Mo Bei: "He is eating in the cafeteria. He will send it to me when he returns to the office, which will take up to 10 minutes. Are you in a hurry to leave? How about we wait here?"

"Don't you need to watch it in your store?" Mo Bei asked.

"If I can't leave you for a while, I'll be exhausted. I just need to go over and take a look occasionally."

"Don't know what your business is?"

"Jade and emerald! It's the 'Qi Yu Xuan' across the street!"

Mo Bei looked out the window with a strange look on his face, then took out a piece of green jade and said:
"I have a piece of jade here, how about you help me palm my eyes?"

Chen Ruomei was slightly surprised, picked up the jadeite on the table with her delicate hands, looked at it and said:

"The water head is good, it's a good piece of jade."

"How much is it worth?" Mo Bei asked again.

Chen Ruomei pondered briefly:
"More than fifty thousand, maybe. If you're interested, can I take you to my place?"

Mo Bei's face was a little dark, and he took out an invoice from his pocket like a magic trick and put it on the table.

When Chen Ruomei saw his behavior, she had an ominous premonition.

Looking at the words on the invoice, even her weathered face was a little red.

This piece of jade was bought from her store for 16 yuan. . . .

She put her hand on her forehead and felt that she was really dizzy today. How could she have forgotten the principle of increasing money when meeting people and things, and after an awkward silence, she pursed her red lips and said:

"I... let me return the money to you! Consider this piece of jade as my gift to Mr. Mo!"

"Well, that's not necessary. We're doing business. The price is clearly marked. One is willing to pay and the other is willing to accept. Besides, you are still thinking about helping me, so how can I really ask you to refund the money?" Mo Bei waved his hand and collected the invoice. got up.

He really doesn't care about this small amount of money now, but he just wants to see this woman's reaction in a bad way.

Chen Ruomei also knew that the more entangled she became, the more embarrassed she would be. She wanted to change the topic, but this incident reminded her of why selling her villa was not a glorious thing, so she could only bite the bullet and ask:

"You really didn't hear anything strange in the villa last night?"

Mo Bei originally planned to keep this matter a secret. It would be good if he didn't pursue the other party for using the haunted house as a gimmick to defraud him of the debt. How could he have the obligation to relieve the other party's knot?

But now seeing that this woman offered to help him contact the people in the municipal management bureau, she still informed him of the truth.

As a result, the woman didn't know whether she was frightened or something, so she said to him:
"Thank you, Mr. Mo. When you say this, I feel much better."

???

Mo Bei had a question mark on his face.

No wonder it’s so bad when it comes to science. No one believes the results of this survey. . .

At this time, Chen Ruomei's cell phone rang with a notification tone, which was the goods list sent by the person she had just contacted.

Mo Bei waited for her to forward it to his mobile phone, opened it and looked at it, feeling secretly happy.

The total weight of the goods to be processed exceeds [-] tons, with dozens of varieties, most of which are steel materials for construction, but he also saw what he wanted.

There are 120 tons of nickel wire and nickel bars in total, and more than 200 tons of electrolytic manganese flakes.

This amount is not worth mentioning for the city's industrial production, but it is enough to meet the urgent needs of the shelter.
