"Well then, how much would you sell this whole inventory to me for?"
"Well, give me a second and I'll add up the total sum. Please note that taxes will be included regardless of it being a cash transaction." The store owner replied readily.
He walked over and started adding everything up diligently. After 30 minutes or so, he walked back with a pleasing smile and said "The total sums up to 4 million dollars."
Erik nodded and asked "Would you like the payment in cash or in gold bars?"
The store owner felt like he was floating when he heard that question. One had to know that with clients like this, you had to be careful not to sound too greedy.
"Gold bars would be preferred." He answered. Just incase this was not 'clean' money.
