Chapter 198: Cautious Boss
As an old profiteer, the boss naturally wouldn't let Li Zhi see anything.
It's just that he can never know that these Night Pearls are no different from ordinary glass beads for Li Zhi and his women, as long as they want, they can fill the entire store with Night Pearls, so they don't care if the Night Pearls can be sold for a high price, as long as they can temporarily have money to spend.
The boss asked Li Zhi with a kind smile on his face: "A few of us shouldn't be our natives from Constantinople, right?" ”
Although they were able to speak Greek, the official language of Byzantium, through the language machine, the accent was very different from that of the natives of Constantinople, just like the accents between different regions of China, which is why the boss asked.
As a pawnshop owner, the trick is to be lit by the light bulb, and you have to recognize what you can and can't receive.
And the boss noticed that the clothes on Li Zhi and them were different from the clothes they wore in Constantinople, so he decided in his heart that Li Zhi and them were not from Constantinople.
The combination of one man and six women is still very strange in Byzantium, especially the boss's vicious eyes, which can be seen at a glance that these six women should be Li Zhi's women.
In their Byzantine Empire, not to mention ordinary civilians, even their emperor is monogamous, so in the Byzantine Empire, every man has only one wife, as for how many women there are in private, then no one cares, and the inheritance system they implement is a complete primogeniture inheritance system, that is to say, the eldest son of a family is the first heir recognized by the law, if there is no son, the daughter can also inherit the family property, which is completely different from the legal system of the Tang Dynasty, and women can enjoy the right to inherit, I have to say that this is a more progressive point between the Byzantine Empire and the Tang Dynasty, if the majority of Tang women know this, it is estimated that they will be eager to reincarnate directly into the Byzantine Empire.
Although the clothes on Li Zhi's body are all boutique clothes produced by science and technology factories, but in the eyes of the pawnshop owner, they have become subgrade products of the lower riba, since he regards Li Zhiqi as poor ghosts, then he will naturally doubt the origin of these three night pearls.
So after thinking about it calmly, the boss seemed more hesitant in his heart, and the three night pearls became much hotter.
He naturally wanted to accept these three Night Pearls, but if the origin of the Night Pearl was unknown, he was worried that he would cause trouble for himself, which really made him in a dilemma.
Being able to open a pawnshop in Constantinople, the boss naturally has a certain background, and after careful consideration, the boss decided to accept the night pearl first, and then inquire about the nobles in the city through the relationship to find out if someone in the city has stolen the night pearl.
"In this way, I will give you the price of five hundred gold coins for each night pearl, what do you think?"
This price made Li Zhi frown, he has a lot of night pearls, but he is not a Kaizi, the precious value of this night pearl on this planet, he, a genuine royal family, is naturally very clear.
Byzantine gold coins are no different from Datang's silver, a priceless night pearl in Datang, not to mention the sky-high price when you come to Byzantium, but it shouldn't be so cheap.
"Boss, you are not kind like this, you know the value of the night pearl, and we also know that the price of these five hundred gold coins is simply a robbery of money, I think you are not the only pawnshop in this city, if the boss is not sincere, then we can only regret to tell you, we are going to change one."
The boss naturally wouldn't let Li Zhi and them leave, and he didn't want to miss this opportunity that was finally obtained.
"Don't, don't, this way, I'll give you a night pearl for the price of five thousand gold coins, this price is not low, if you don't agree, I can't do anything."
The account that Li Zhi is calculating now in his heart is not the price of a night pearl, but how much money is enough for six women to go shopping.
These six women all have noble backgrounds, their vision is naturally very high, and ordinary things can't get into their eyes, so once they want to buy something, the price of that thing will naturally not be cheap, after all, value determines the price, this is a scientific summary.
One Night Pearl is 5,000 gold coins, and three are 15,000 gold coins, which should be enough, in Byzantium, one Nomismata is equal to 12 silver coins, and 1 silver coin is equal to 12 copper coins. A worker works 280 days a year and earns an annual salary of about 25 Nomismata to maintain a family's food and clothing, so this 10,000 gold coins is a big number, which can feed 600 families, and this money should be enough for six women to have a luxury.
According to those inside, women with noble status and no shortage of money to spend like their six queens shop just because they enjoy this feeling, not so much that they are shopping, but that they spend money to buy a feeling of physical and mental pleasure.
Speaking of this, it is associated with the fact that women are sensual animals, and the truth is almost like all roads lead to Rome.
"Okay, then we're done."
This 10,000 gold coins is not a small number, and the boss will naturally not store them in the pawnshop, so he proposed to ask Li Zhi and them to wait for a while, and then personally take people out to raise money.
After walking out of the store, the boss immediately sent someone to inquire if there was any theft of the night pearl from the nobleman's house in the city, and then went to raise money.
Li Zhi will not mind what small actions the boss has done behind his back, a small Constantinople Li Zhi does not take it seriously, if he is completely annoyed, he does not mind coming to a shot and directly blowing this famous city to smithereens.
The pawnshop guys naturally warmly entertained Li Zhi and them, and in terms of service, this pawnshop is still doing a good job, at least Li Zhi feels that he can't find anything wrong.
The six girls elegantly tasted the wine brought by the guys, and their elegant movements made the boys' eyes light up, and they were attracted by their elegant movements.
If the boss saw this scene, I'm afraid he wouldn't think of Li Zhi and them as hillbillies.
After about an hour, the boss came back with a smile on his face and said to Li Zhi: "The gold coins are all loaded in the carriage outside, and the three carriages are considered to have been given to you by me."
