Chapter 6 Buying Silver
It's whether this teapot is worth anything or not. In fact, from the beginning of buying books, all this is in Li Yibai's calculations. He bought the book just to guess that the teapot might not be worth much. If the first transfer belt is wrong and fails without making money, this is a very serious mistake, because the second transfer will charge 300 taels of silver, which will cause the crossing to be interrupted.
According to what he had heard and seen in the modern world, not everything in antiquity was valuable. Like ancient coins, there are many coins in the Han Dynasty that have been handed down to this day, and each is worth only a few dozen yuan.
Although the Li family used to be wealthy merchants, the teapot they used should not be good porcelain.
'Boss Zhong, our deal is done. It was a pleasure to work with. I have a request, could you please help me see how much this teapot is worth. Li Yibai said and handed him the teapot.
Zhong Song took the teapot and said, "This teapot isn't worth much. $200 is the maximum. β
'How can it be so little. This is something from the Song Dynasty. β
'Mr. Li, what has been handed down in ancient times is not necessarily valuable, there are many broken clay pots in ancient times, it is not valuable in ancient times, and it is difficult to be valuable in modern times, unless it has special documentary value. In fact, Mr. Li only needs to remember one thing, ancient porcelain, only the official kiln is valuable. The number of official kilns is limited, and they are specially made for the royal nobility and are not used by ordinary people. Moreover, many official kiln techniques were later lost. β
I see. This teapot is for you. After Li Yibai finished speaking, he got up and took his leave.
Because he was pressed for time, he sold out the books in the antique shop, and it was already dark. He still has two days left.
After going out, Li Yibai entered a clothing store and bought a casual outfit to change into. I went to a mobile phone store again and bought a large-screen smartphone and a few fully charged power banks.
In addition to calculating how to make money by selling ancient books, Li Yibai also calculated. Use the money to buy some silver to take home. This was conceived when I first talked to the space-time teleportation system. Li Yibai is such a smart person, if ordinary people have this transmission system, they must want to bring something that was not available in ancient times and go back to ancient times to make money. And what Li Yibai thought of was to quickly exchange the US dollar bill for silver and bring it back.
This is because of the high value of silver in ancient times. In the Song Dynasty, where Li Yibai lived, for example, the purchasing power of one tael of silver in the Song Dynasty was equal to 600 yuan. In the modern world, the price of silver is 3.66 yuan a gram.
In ancient times, one tael was equal to 40 grams. Therefore, one tael of silver in modern society is equal to less than 150 yuan. Bringing this silver back to the Song Dynasty, the purchasing power directly quadrupled, and the value became quadrupled.
Li Yibai checked the price of silver with his mobile phone with one hand. Carrying the cloth bag in one hand.
Li Yibai walked into a gold store.
The lady at the counter saw a person with a large bag that resembled a monk, which looked very ridiculous. The counter lady is also Chinese, and asked directly in Chinese,
'Sir, what help do you need?' β
'I'm going to buy silver, and the more the better.' Li Yibai said.
The counter lady took out a piece of paper and said, "Sir, you can hold silver through the fund, and we can also open an account here, and there are discounts." β
Li Yibai shook his head and said, "I only need physical silver, how many of you have." β
'Ask for silver bars.' We have a lot of them too. As she spoke, the counter lady pointed to a 500-gram silver bar under the counter.
That's too little. I want a lot, how many you have, how much I want. Li Yibai said.
Miss Counter is an inferiority complex, a common person among new immigrants, this kind of person, even if she is also Chinese but looks down on Chinese, she nods and worships foreigners, and she can't wait to become white-skinned.
'Sir, are you joking?' 500 grams of silver bars are not enough. The counter lady said, "Then these twenty sticks are 10,000 grams." β
'Not enough. Inadequate. Li Yibai said, "I didn't hear it, I said, how much do I want in your store?" β
'It's really vexatious, how can you buy so many physical silver bars, you can use the computer to buy funds.' The counter lady said, "I think you just don't have the money to talk big and make trouble." β
'Is the customer God?' Are you trying to meet the customer's purchase requirements. Li Yibai asked the counter lady and said, "How can you do it with such a work attitude?" β
"Look at you, you look like a temporary visa person, I guess you still smuggled here." The counter lady sneered, "Just you are dressed and pretending to be a rich man, don't pretend, I'll serve you, you can go home and stay by yourself, be careful I call the police and let the immigration people arrest you." β
Li Yibai was finally angry, it seemed that if he didn't take out the money, this woman wouldn't believe that he really wanted to buy silver bars.
A wad of dollars, about 50,000 yuan.
A bunch.
Two.
Three.
Four.
Five.
Six.
Seven.
Eight.
When Li Yibai put the eight stacks of US dollars on the counter. The counter lady was already stunned, and her mouth was wide open.
'Sorry sir, sorry sir. I beg your pardon. The counter lady kept bowing, and the attitude just now was like two people.
'Call your manager. Li Yibai said, "I think such a large business, only he is suitable to trade." β
At this time, a middle-aged man with glasses walked over and said, 'Sorry sir. I've seen it all. She would be fired immediately. β
At this time, the arrogance of the counter lady was gone, and she began to pray for the middle-aged man. "Manager Jin, please, I won't dare next time. β
'There will be a next time. Manager Jin reprimanded, "If it weren't for the fact that you were my cousin's girlfriend, you would have been fired a long time ago." You're leaving. β
Li Yibai said, "Forget it." Please ask the gold manager to try to satisfy me about $390,000 in silver bars. β
Manager Jin frowned and said, "I'm afraid there aren't so many. β
'How many of you? β
'About 350,000. β
That's 350,000. β
'No problem. Manager Jin said, "In order to express my apologies to my husband, I decided to send someone to escort him home for free." β
'This one is better. Li Yibai also knew that he couldn't move so much silver.
After Li Yibai paid $350,000, there was still $50,000 left. Originally, he had planned to set aside $10,000 for rent in that room and to buy some groceries. But now there's a lot left. Anyway, $50,000 is not heavy on the body, and there is nothing to carry.
The silver was wrapped in cardboard boxes and loaded onto a truck. Li Yibai saw the counter lady walking out of the gold store with her suitcase. She was punished.
Li Yibai was lazy to take care of her affairs, so he jumped into the car with a few escorts. He asked the driver to drive towards the rental house where he had crossed.
When they arrived, the escort was busy carrying the silver into the room. At this time, the landlord Chen Bo came.
'Who are you, that you have destroyed the door of my house?' β
'Uncle Chen, you don't know me anymore, I'm Xiao Li ten years ago. Li Yibai said.
'You, I remember you, but I don't care who you are, if you dare to destroy my door, I won't let you go.' Uncle Chen said that he was going to do it.
Li Yibai took out a wad of money, which was $12,000. 'I rented this room. I can rent this 10,000 yuan for 1 year. The remaining 2,000 yuan will be enough for you to repair the door? β
'Enough. Chen Bo nodded and said, "I have long wanted to replace that broken door, thank you for helping me kick it off." β
Li Yibai smiled and shook his head, there is really money that can make ghosts grind.
The escort finished transporting the silver and left. In order to keep it secret, Li Yibai only told Uncle Chen that it was some daily necessities. At the same time, he asked Uncle Chen not to enter his room without permission.
Li Yibai closed the door and looked at the piles of boxes of silver bars in the room. Xindao, I have to bring them back to the Song Dynasty as soon as possible.
How much do these silver bars weigh? It is approximately 600,000 grams. That's 600 kilograms.
Li Yibai is a twenty-year-old young man, because he is now the age of Li Yibai who inherited the Song Dynasty. A twenty-year-old man can carry a weight of 75 kilograms without a problem. It looks like the silver will have to be transported in several trips. Divided into several trips, there is a loss here, it takes not much time, it is a matter of a moment, but each transmission costs 300 taels of silver.
Fortunately, it was only 300 taels of silver, which accounted for two-thirds.
Li Yibai picked up a box of silver. 'It's heavy. 'Return.
Li Yibai's eyes were blank
When I opened my eyes in an instant, I was already in the warehouse of the Li family in the Northern Song Dynasty.
You will have to pay 300 taels of silver for the second transmission. Li Yibai opened the box of silver bars. The high-purity silver of the white flower is in my hands, which is really exciting.
Use awareness. [Save money. Only 2 silver bars remained. The rest is stored in the space-time transmission system. γ
In an instant, the silver bars in the box disappeared. There are only 2 left.
It's amazing. Then test the withdrawal handle again. Li Yibai said to himself, "Look at the spirit of taking money." β
[Take out all the money you just deposited.] Li Yibai gave instructions with his consciousness again.
In another instant, the silver bars popped up in the chest.
It's amazing, with this system, I can put money in the future without knowing it, and no one knows where I hide it." β
Li Yibai deposited the money back. Began to continue to pass back to the modern society to move silver.
Transmission. γ
There was a blank slate
At the same time as the transfer, the balance of the deposit in the system was reduced by 300 taels.
Pick up the box. γReturnγ
After going back and forth like this 7 times, Li Yibai looked at the little silver left on the ground. There will be no more rushes. Most have moved back. Even if someone robs you, it's nothing. Although it is heavy to pick up a box of 75 kg at a time. But it's also a matter of a moment, so it only takes 3 minutes to go back and forth 7 times. Not tired at all.
Li Yibai checked the balance in the system, and there were 12,600 taels left after removing the transmission loss. At the same time, Li Yibai still has more than 30,000 US dollars on him.
Li Yibai thought that if he had a lot of money, the time he spent in modern society would be unlimited. Because after spending 300 taels of silver per transmission, the time spent in modern society will be renewed. These three days will never run out. But with his current financial resources, he still can't afford such a waste.
But this three days have only just started a little bit, and it will be too late to go back tomorrow. So, Li Yibai went to a five-star hotel outside and opened a presidential room.
In the hotel bed he bored brushing micro. Bo, I don't think modern society is much interesting. Thinking about the Wang family, it's better to go back tomorrow.
When Li Yibai was taking a bath in the hotel bathtub, he looked at these items of modern life and decided to take some back.
The next day, after Li Yibai woke up, he went to the supermarket to buy toiletries, razors, toilet paper, and some snacks, and sent them back to the Northern Song Dynasty with his mobile phone and the rest of the silver.
