"Worthless?", the young man standing at the door took his eyes back from the street outside the window. He couldn't help but walk to the counter and looked at the boss behind the counter and shouted, "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 silver is an ounce now?"

In a word, he directly asked two young people and looked at them staring at the dog. The antique shop owner said casually, "you can go to the trading market or bank to ask. Now the price of silver is about two twenty cents to two thirty-five cents, an ounce!"

"Gentlemen, please note that it's an ounce, but here..." he fiddled with the silver products on the counter. "It all adds up to less than five pounds. Do you want to weigh it?"

The two young people looked at each other. They basically believed what the antique shop owner said.

One of them nodded, and then the boss took out a scale. He threw the silver products on it. Then he turned the scale and let them see the scale under the scale. "It's a little more than four and a half pounds, about 70 ounces. Give it to you according to the highest silver price. These things are worth 100... 60 yuan at most."

The boss quickly worked out the specific price. The two young people were silent. They didn't even notice that there was an obvious and abrupt protrusion under the scale when the owner of the antique shop took back the scale.

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

One of the guys pointed to the ivory comb. "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 can't give you more than fifteen yuan."

"People who are willing to use Ivory combs and can afford them will not use those used by others. You see, its color has begun to turn yellow and will soon become more yellow. If they can't change hands in a short time, it will only become less and less valuable."

The young man swallowed a mouthful of saliva and drew a picture on the pile of things with his fingers. "These things add up to 175 yuan, don't they?"

Although the price is far lower than their expectation, it is not unacceptable to think about it carefully. After all, these are just stolen goods they stole. If they sell less, they will run more times. The warehouse they found is full of all kinds of things. Even if the price is not high, they can get rich quickly as long as they are diligent.

The owner of the antique shop laughed and shook his head. "If you add up all these things, I'll give you a hundred dollars at most."

This made the young man burst into anger, and the man with a bad temper immediately shouted, "you just said, these silver are worth at least 160 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 with the bill when you buy it, leave your real contact information, and sign a letter of responsibility to ensure that you bought it with legal money from legal channels and are not suspected of any illegal act."

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

This is bullshit, but there is no doubt that people will hear wrong when they are excited, but it also makes what he said full of persuasion 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 all kinds of precious metals and even some gemstones at a price slightly lower than the market price by 5% to 10%.

But they don't. these are stolen goods. This is also the way for antique shop owners and some stolen goods sales channels to make money. They have a way to make these things legal.

For example, the top-level booty selling channel will take the silver ore collected for a period of time to the cooperative mine. The mine will issue a certificate. After paying taxes, the recast silver ingots will become legal property, and they can be sold directly to banks or some jewelers.

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

According to federal law, when police informants participate in criminal acts or activities, they can be exempted from responsibility as long as they are not the leader and initiator, and they provide important clues to solve the case afterwards, even if they violate the law in the process of participation.

Murder can be discussed, let alone selling stolen goods.

The antique shop owner's attitude of selling or not selling made the two young people uncertain for a time. What's more irritating was that after about ten seconds, the antique shop owner took the initiative to help them put their things back in their travel bags, then pointed to the door and told them that they could go elsewhere.

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

Finally, the two young people decided to sell the things. At least 100 yuan is also money, and there are too many places to turn. There may be an accident.

The boss took the bag with a smile, put it under the cabinet, paid 100 yuan in change and watched them leave.

In this business, he can earn at least 120 yuan. Of course, he deserves it. Not everyone can do this business.

The joy of the two young people after getting the money soon dissipated the unhappiness caused by the price. They decided to reward themselves.

In the deli near where they lived, the two ordered two large portions of roast beef ribs and some other things they couldn't afford, such as smoked ham slices.

They belong to a very loose small Gang. The main way for this gang to make money is the financial company.

Not long ago, the Federal Bureau of investigation and the federal tax bureau dealt a devastating blow to the financial companies on the street, and many gangs were involved.

Some survived safely, and some are still in trouble. Their originally unknown Gang is deeply involved in this matter. Up to now, the main members run and catch, and they have lost their place to eat.

If a friend and a blue vest didn't talk to them about the mountains of goods in the warehouse area, they might not have thought that money could come so quickly in a short time.

"If we add those things in our family, the harvest is almost two hundred dollars. Should there be two hundred dollars?"

While eating delicious food, the two whispered about the harvest. In fact, they got not only those they took to the antique shop, but also some they stayed in their residence.

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

However, after this time, their attitude has changed.

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

After dinner, they found their friend, the blue vest working in the warehouse area. They agreed that they would pay money once the stolen goods were sold.

When the blue vest looked at the thirty dollars handed over by the two people, the whole person was stunned.

Although he didn't take part in the theft that day, he knew how many things these people got, definitely more than 90 yuan!

After their explanation, the blue vest looked at the two people with unbelievable eyes. "Are you full of genetic liquid in your mind? You think the price is wrong. You can change one. Why sell it to that guy?"

In fact, they did this for the first time. At this time, they didn't know what to say. Looking at their appearance, the blue vest had nothing to say.

About a few seconds later, the blue vest put the money in his pocket and asked in a low voice, "when will you do it for the second time? I'll sell it this time. You're so stupid!"

They were also a little angry and immediately replied, "just tonight..."

They decided to get more out this time and see what else the blue vest had to say.

At five o'clock in the evening, he didn't go back immediately after work. On the grounds that the shower at home was broken, he wanted to stay in the rest area of the warehouse area for a bath and then go back.

In fact, there is basically no work in the warehouse area after 4 pm. At the same time, it is far from the city. Now the public transportation is basically semi paralyzed. After missing the last bus at 5:30, I can only find a way to go back by myself.

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

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

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

Their purpose is more clear this time. It is the warehouse last time. There are not only mountains of goods in it, but also many of them are semi-new.

They are not as eye-catching as brand-new goods, and there are many kinds. This time, they are fully prepared. They have got a scooter!

The three have been hiding in the dressing area of the blue vest. Now it's not dark enough. The night in summer is always dark and slow. They need to wait until it's dark at night.

At about eleven o'clock, the three 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 inspect anytime and anywhere. The other two pried open the small door that had just been repaired and went in.
