Disassembling System: Begin With Scrapyard Alchemy - Chapter 24
Chapter 24 Time To Work
Naturally, Cheng Xu wanted to clarify everything
“Of course, it’s okay if it is not suitable. Everything can be discussed. However, the quantity we set has been precisely tested by instruments. We will definitely not set a price casually and will definitely leave you a profit margin.”
Cheng Xu nodded. This made sense.
If someone helped him with alchemy and he lost money, then who would cooperate with him? It could not be a one-time deal.
“What do you think, Mr. Cheng?”
Mr. Wang cupped his hands and leaned back in his chair, seemingly very relaxed.
“I don’t have a problem with that. As long as I can make money, I’m willing to work with you in the long run,” Cheng Xu shook his head and said casually.
He seemed to be casual, but he clearly stated his position. He had to make money, so that there would be a chance for long-term cooperation.
After reaching a consensus, Mr. Wang also brought out two boxes of goods.
“Mr. Cheng, you only need to produce 40 grams of pure gold for these two boxes of goods. I hope our cooperation will have a good start.”
After he finished speaking, he gestured for Cheng Xu to inspect the goods. It was obvious that he was still more confident in his batch of goods.
These two boxes of goods were of the standard kind. They were all the same parts and not mixed materials.
Obviously, Mr. Wang could accurately estimate the value of this material.
Cheng Xu squatted on the ground and carefully observed it for a few minutes. Then, he weighed it and took out a calculator to calculate for a while. Finally, he nodded.
“This batch of goods is quite suitable. There’s potential. It’s not a problem to earn 10%.”
After the last incident, Mr. Wang also knew that Cheng Xu was a person who knew what was good, but he did not expect that in just a few minutes, Cheng Xu could calculate that the results were almost the same as the ones they measured with precision instruments.
Fortunately, he had come in an orderly manner this time and did not intend to cause any trouble.
It was important to know that refining gold was not as simple as doing math. It did not mean that one could definitely refine that much gold in the end just because there were 40 grams of gold in this batch of materials.
In fact, even if all the steps were perfect, the gold extracted could only be as close to 40 grams as possible.
Furthermore, the refining technique, materials, and potions required were all rather high
The more inexperienced they were, the greater the losses of refining, and at the same time, the purity of the refining was relatively low.
According to Mr. Wang’s calculation, after deducting the material cost, they could indeed make about 1,000 yuan from this batch of materials, which was close to 10%.
Mr. Wang sighed in his heart and said, “Mr. Zheng has praised you a few times, and you’re all friends. I won’t charge you a deposit. You just need to deliver the goods within a week. Is that okay?”
If it was someone else, he would not have given them a zero deposit. The acquaintance being introduced to him by Mr. Zheng was one of the reasons, but it only accounted for a small part of it.
In today’s society, even blood brothers could turn against each other for some money. As long as the benefits were big enough, what was a friend? Not to mention, he was a friend introduced by a friend.
What reassured him was Cheng Xu’s identity, background, and reputation.
In fact, the residents in the area more or less knew about Cheng Xu, so it was easy to find out about him, not to mention the connections that Mr. Wang had in the county.
In addition, Cheng Xu was still a college student. It was unlikely that he would run away for a mere 10,000 yuan worth of goods. In today’s society, 10,000 yuan was really not much.
Not to mention that Cheng Xu had a scrapyard here. The monk could run away, but the temple could not.
After signing the contract, he handed Cheng Xu a business card.
“After you’re done refining, just send the goods to this address. Give me a call when you’re done.”
“No problem. I’m sure you’ll be satisfied with the gold I refine.”
Cheng Xu also showed a bright smile.
After Mr. Wang left, Cheng Xu’s eyes lit up as he looked at the two large boxes of materials.
After deducting the cost, he could only make a little more than 1,000 yuan.
After looking around and making sure that no one was nearby, Cheng Xu directly put the materials into the dimensional pocket and entered the house.
“Let’s get to work!”
The two large boxes of materials were directly poured onto the floor, piling up into a small mountain.
Looking at the gold material on the ground, Cheng Xu could not help but think that this could be considered a dollar-store version of a mountain of gold.
Focusing his mind on the material in front of him, he began the skillful Breakdown process.
When separating the gold, Cheng Xu was also careful. He did not refine the gold to a completely pure state, but kept some impurities in accordance with the standard of pure gold.
He had also understood that such purity was not easy to achieve for an individual, but it was not impossible.
Looking at the shiny gold material floating in the air, Cheng Xu also felt like he was Keanu Reeves in “The Matrix.”
“It’s a pity that I don’t have enough control over the movement of objects. I can only make them move slowly.”
But correspondingly, Cheng Xu had almost no difficulty in separating the substances. It was just a little physical exertion.
After putting all the gold that had been dissected into his dimensional pocket, Cheng Xu was pleasantly surprised to find that it weighed more than 48 grams. After deducting the 40 grams that he had to hand over, Cheng Xu had earned more than 8 grams.
“It seems like my hourly wage has to be updated again. No, the hourly wage appeared when I was dealing with the fake aluminum alloy guys. It was already over ten thousand.”
In fact, the happiness brought by making money also had a marginal decreasing effect.
At first, Cheng Xu was satisfied with a monthly salary of 5,000 yuan after graduation. Later, he was excited about refining a few tenths of a gram of gold. Now, he could remain calm when he saw the gold in front of him that was worth more than 10,000 yuan.
Cheng Xu took out a bowl and put more than 40 grams of gold that had just been refined into it. Then, he melted the gold with his mind and reshaped it to make it look like it was heat-refined.
This was also a disguise. After all, the last step of refining was to put the porous-looking gold in a crucible and calcine it at a high temperature. If he shaped the gold too accurately, it would easily lead to baseless speculations by others.
After storing the gold, Cheng Xu could not send the gold over too quickly. After all, the two steps of dissolving and replacing were quite time-consuming.
Due to the foreshadowing he had left with Mr. Zheng, he had a reasonable explanation for his faster refining speed and higher purity.
In any case, all the unreasonable things could be blamed on his mentor, whom he had never met before. If anyone asked, he could always say use new technology as an excuse. It was all high-tech stuff and a few tricks.
Wiping his sweat, Cheng Xu felt hungry again.
“Alchemy is nothing but a waste of money!” Cheng Xu thought again, ‘Why would a person who earns tens of thousands of yuan every minute eat steamed buns?’
“I’ll just drive out for a meal and buy some groceries. I’ll return the car to Huang Junjie while I’m at it.”
