Chapter 1828: Chapter 1827: Exchanging for Cash
This bank isn’t big, with only one counter, and the whole hall was empty, almost devoid of people.
When Ling Feng took out the gold bar and handed it to the window, the staff mber was imdiately stunned!
Then he carefully looked at Ling Feng: "Sir, we can’t handle gold exchanges here!"
Ling Feng: "..."
After a mont of silence, he curiously asked, "Then who should I find to exchange money?"
"Well, you can ask around outside, there seem to be so people locally who can do exchanges!" the clerk said.
Ling Feng imdiately understood that the so-called "so people" probably referred to the underworld figures in the city.
Wherever there are people, there’s a society, naturally with both dark and light sides.
Ling Feng said nothing more and turned around to walk out.
Soon his gaze was fixed on idle people on the street, easily identifiable at a glance.
Quickly, he locked onto a young man in his twenties who was chatting idly with a few others of similar age.
Approaching them, Ling Feng asked, "Brother, I’d like to exchange so money, do you know where I can do that?"
The young man looked up at him, asking in so confusion, "Exchange what money?"
Ling Feng was speechless, then smiled: "I have so gold on hand, want to exchange it for cash to spend!"
"Gold?"
The young man’s eyes flashed as he imdiately asked, "Where is it?"
"Right here!"
Ling Feng didn’t mind, showing the gold bar in his hand.
The young man and his companions all stared straight at it, seemingly as if it was the first ti seeing gold in their lives.
Seeing them staring intently at the gold bar, Ling Feng laughed: "If you don’t know soone who can exchange money, I’ll ask elsewhere!"
"Wait!"
The young man quickly lifted his head, laughed and said, "You’ve found the right person, I know a rich boss like that, co with !"
"That’s great!"
Ling Feng nodded, quickly following him.
The young man seed quite pleased, asking while walking, "Brother, what’s your na?"
"Uh..."
Ling Feng was taken aback, trying to recall a local na, but then casually said, "Just call
Pete!"
"Pete?"
The young man was surprised, laughing heartily, "Why did you pick a western na, aren’t you afraid of getting beaten up?"
"Will I?"
Ling Feng was puzzled, asking with confusion.
"Of course, you must be from out of town? Don’t you know people here don’t have a good impression of Europeans?" the young man asked.
"Uh, I really didn’t know, and I am indeed from out of town!"
Ling Feng said, his mind racing, trying to rember the na of that place where he discovered the oil field.
Sure enough, the young man imdiately asked, "Where from out of town did you co from?"
"From Dairzouk," Ling Feng replied.
"Quite far, that explains it!"
The young man nodded, extending his hand: "I’m Abdul, let’s be friends!"
"Sure!"
Ling Feng smiled, shaking his hand.
Chatting along, they arrived in front of a building, Abdul said to Ling Feng: "Brother, wait here, I’ll talk to the boss!"
"Alright!"
Ling Feng nodded, stopping at the entrance.
Through his Divine Sense, Abdul entered the room, found a big-bearded man, and told him the situation.
Hearing it, the man looked very interested and said, "Bring him in!"
Soon, Abdul returned to the entrance, saying to Ling Feng: "The boss is asking you in!"
Ling Feng nodded, then showed a slightly worried expression: "Brother, your boss won’t rip off an outsider like , will he?"
Abdul laughed: "He won’t, don’t worry."
Ling Feng gave a small sigh, following him into the house.
Seeing the big-bearded man, Abdul introduced: "This is our boss, Asad."
Ling Feng nodded: "Hello, boss, I’m new here and don’t have cash, so I want to exchange so money."
"Hmm, where’s the gold? Let
see." Asad asked.
Ling Feng hesitated a bit, then handed over the gold bar.
Asad’s eyes flashed with greed at the sight of the golden glow, but he quickly concealed it, looking up to Ling Feng: "How much are you planning to exchange for this?"
"I haven’t thought about it, just according to the market price!" Ling Feng replied.
Asad nodded and turned to his n, saying, "Bring the electronic scale over!"
The subordinate turned and walked to the back, Asad turned back to Ling Feng: "Brother, what currency do you want, our money, or US Dollar?"
Ling Feng was surprised: "I can get US Dollars too?"
"You didn’t know?"
Asad was taken aback, then said, "US Dollar is the hard currency here, local money depreciates often!"
Ling Feng was speechless upon hearing that.
He thought, if I had known, why would I go through so much trouble, I have plenty of US Dollar cash in my Space Bracelet!
If only I had known sooner!
Just bla myself for not doing enough research.
But it was too late to say anything now, he smiled and said: "In that case, let’s go with US Dollars!"
"Alright!"
Asad nodded, then said: "But as per rules, I will take a 20% cut, do you agree?"
Ling Feng didn’t care anymore, so he naturally nodded: "Sure!"
Once the electronic scale was brought over, the gold bar was placed onto it, showing a weight of 506 grams, Asad started calculating furiously with a calculator.
Then he looked up and said to Ling Feng: "This gold bar is worth 27,000 US Dollars, after deducting the fee, I’ll give you 20,000!"
"Alright."
Ling Feng knew there was sothing off here but didn’t care anymore, just wanted to get the money and leave.
Unexpectedly, Asad suddenly changed his expression, squinted at him: "Kid, who are you really?"
Ling Feng was startled: "What’s wrong?"
"For such a heavy bar, I quoted a very low price on purpose, yet you don’t care at all, seems like you’re a wealthy person!" Asad uttered.
"Sort of!"
Ling Feng shrugged: "Just because I have no cash doesn’t an I’m penniless, it’s just a temporary issue, needed cash urgently, is there a problem?"
"There’s a big problem!"
Asad’s face turned cold, speaking with a stern voice: "I suspect you’re a spy!"
He then shouted, "Capture him!"
Upon hearing that, Ling Feng was quite helpless!
Seeing everyone pouncing like wolves, he hurriedly gestured: "Wait, I don’t understand!"
As he spoke, he slowly stood up, and Asad’s n imdiately reached to their waists and pulled out handguns!
Seeing this scene, Ling Feng instead laughed: "Goodness, did I walk into a den of thieves?"
