Although Li Yongji didn't know Wang Yunyi's true thoughts, he used to stay at home a lot, and he was not very good at dealing with people, but after all, he was an adult in modern society, with a lot of knowledge and normal logical thinking, so after the answer just now, the vigilance in his heart at this time had all been mobilized, but he no longer had the initial response at a loss.

Sure enough, when he heard Wang Yunyi ask if there was a mirror, Li Yongji pretended to be entangled and nodded: "Hey, since you have asked so, if I don't tell the truth, I will be so sorry for you, the mirror, I, I do still have it." ”

"Oh?" Wang Yunyi's eyes lit up, "How many more?" ”

"Do you want to ......"

Li Yongji just subconsciously wanted to say, you can have as much as you want, but when he saw the other party's shining eyes and ** expression, his heart moved for no reason, and the words came to his mouth again: "You think, that thing is so valuable, especially the material is not easy to manufacture, how can it be a lot?" Actually, it was produced by a group of foreign craftsmen, and I don't know exactly how much they can take, but according to my estimate, they should still have about 30 such mirrors in their hands. ”

"Oh, thirty or so." Wang Yunyi's eyes rolled, "So, in fact, that mirror was given to you by a foreigner?" It's also made by foreign craftsmen? ”

"That's right." Li Yongji looked as if he had made up his mind, "Then, I won't hide it from you until now, although they said that they would keep it secret." Well, in fact, this is what foreigners produce, and then I want to find an opportunity to sell it. ”

"Why do foreigners sell this kind of mirror here and not in the West?"

"How do I know, maybe it's better to make money here."

"Then, why are foreigners looking for you?"

"I don't know, maybe it's because I know foreign language." Li Yongji said.

"Do you still understand the words of foreigners?" Wang Yunyi was really surprised, "Who did you learn from?" ”

"Priest, of course." Li Yongji nodded, and said with a look of confidence, "I'll tell you the truth, I met a foreigner before, who claimed to be Peter, a priest, he was very good to me, not only often brought me good things to play, but also often gave me good food, I saw that he was so good, so I was naturally willing to play with him."

Then, he asked me to learn foreign language with him, and I thought it was very interesting, and I could have delicious and fun, so I learned it, but he wouldn't let me sue others. Well, since then, I have secretly learned foreign language from him whenever I have time, and now, I have been learning foreign language for three years, and I can't understand those foreign languages, and I can come as soon as I open my mouth, it is not troublesome at all, and the priests praise me for being smart. Ah! You see, the priest said it, but you can't say it to the outside world...... Then, I can treat you as my own, don't tell anyone about this, or I'll be miserable! ”

"Oooh?" Wang Yunyi was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly nodded, "Don't worry, don't worry, you and I are already brothers at first sight, and I will definitely not tell others." ”

said so, but after listening to Li Yongji's words, Wang Yunyi's brows furrowed deeply.

Originally, he thought that this mirror was just some foreigners coming to test the water, just like foreigners used to sell those strange things for money, and Li Yongji, he only thought that it was a chess piece pushed out by foreigners, which was dispensable, but now it seems that some foreigners have worked hard to secretly cultivate.

Three years, these days are not short, what do you want to do, those foreigners want to make such a big effort to cultivate a child in the Qing Dynasty? Hmph, there is nothing to be done, it is either a traitor or a thief, it is definitely not a trivial matter to think about it!

Although I don't know why those foreigners did this and what their plans were, but in this way, things are more complicated, at least this Li Yongji can't move casually.

Considering the complexity of the problem, Wang Yunyi changed his thinking and decided not to go deeper, but only to start from the mirror itself, that is to say, he only wanted to contact Li Yongji, as for the doorway behind, he wanted to pretend to be confused for the time being, and he didn't want to be too clear, so that if something happened in the future, there would be a way out.

Now the Qing Dynasty knows that foreigners are not a good thing, and they are not so easy to contact. It's okay to do a little business with them, but if you mix it directly, forget it. Those compradors of foreigners don't have a good reputation here.

Thinking of this, Wang Yunyi smiled again: "That's it, Brother Ji Shixian, in the future, the mirror, if you want to have it, sell it to me, okay?" ”

"Well, of course you can, or three thousand taels?" Li Yongji asked.

"This, of course, can't continue at that price." Wang Yunyi smiled.

Just kidding, he opened three thousand taels at the beginning, which was to relax Li Yongji's vigilance and use it for fishing, which is similar to buying horse bones for a thousand dollars, and if he wants to buy a mirror for three thousand taels in the future, it is not that it can't be done, but the profit will definitely be much less.

"That's not going to work." Li Yongji deliberately said naively, "I have to repay the priest, if I can't sell so much in the future, how can I explain?" ”

"Oh oh, come on, drink, drink." Wang Yunyi took the initiative to pour wine for Li Yongji, and waited for the other party to drink before he said on the side, "Brother Xian, you and I hit it off at first sight, then, my brother has to take care of you, and I have to talk to you well." So when you went back to the priest, you said that the mirror was sold for a thousand taels of silver, and the remaining two thousand taels were your own. In this way, if you bring the mirror over again in the future, we will sell it for 1,000 taels, how about it? ”

"No way!" Li Yongji shook his head, "The priest said, don't sell if it's less than 1,500 taels, so I have to sell at least 1,500 taels." ”

"That's fine." Wang Yunyi said with a smile, "Then when you go back this time, you will say that you sold 1,500 taels, and as for the remaining 1,500 taels of the 3,000 taels, I don't want it, it's all yours." Well, in the future, you will sell it to me at the price of 1,500 taels, and I will actually give it to you...... One thousand six hundred taels is equal to one hundred taels as soon as you pass your hands, how about it? ”

"That's ......"

"Brother Xian, don't be confused." Seeing Li Yongji pondering, Wang Yunyi hurriedly said, "A mirror, you will earn a hundred taels of silver as soon as you change hands, is there such a good thing in the world?" What's more, if you say that, you can earn 1,500 taels now! Fifteen hundred taels is a lot of money, and how many good things can you buy? If you don't, you won't be able to earn that right now! ”

"Okay, so be it." Li Yongji nodded, "From then on, I will sell it all to you, just one thousand six hundred taels!" ”

"Okay, enough brother, never regret it!" Wang Yunyi was overjoyed.

"But you know." Li Yongji said again, "This foreigner actually doesn't like silver very much, and he doesn't like silver tickets even more, so people think gold, diamonds, and jadeite." So, in the future, I will ask you for an exchange, and you will have to prepare me the equivalent of gold, diamonds, and jadeite! ”

"That's fine!" Wang Yunyi waved his hand, "Don't look at me, I'm just in charge of this pawnshop, but our Wang family's industry is everywhere, and it's hard to say about diamonds, but if you exchange some gold and jade, it's still easy." As long as you are willing to bring the mirror, I promise to give you enough goods! ”

"Okay, a word is a certainty, no repentance!" Li Yongji said deliberately.

"No backtracking!" Wang Yunyi glared, "We can high-five now!" ”

After the two sides high-fived and swore an oath, they were both snickering in their hearts.

In Li Yongji's opinion, if he can sell more mirrors, and 1,600 taels of silver a mirror, it will be a double profit.

In Wang Yunyi's opinion, 1,600 taels of silver will definitely make money for such a mirror, because he can sell 3,000 taels of silver for a side, and if it is good, 4,000 is possible.

Don't look at the fact that it is not peaceful everywhere now, but the amount of silver in the Qing Dynasty is still very large, and the purchasing power of the rich in the Qing Dynasty is also very strong, but the consumption channels are narrow.

Before they became industrial capitalists, most of the huge riches who had accumulated a lot of money were spent on extravagant consumption, and most of their extravagant consumption was spent on fireworks and luxury goods.

What's more, wars sometimes give rise to extravagant consumption, and generally the more chaotic the times, the easier it is for people to have the mind of drinking and getting drunk today, and the more money they spend on entertainment.

Haven't you seen that since the fall of Nanjing, those wealthy businessmen who fled to Suzhou and Hangzhou have spent a lot of money every day in the land of fireworks for a group of **? How many tycoons have offered hundreds or even tens of thousands of taels of silver for a few rare playthings, especially foreigners' objects? The so-called drunken life and dream of death is really not an exaggeration.

Therefore, for those rich people, one or two thousand taels of silver is not a matter at all, and the market price of these luxury items, especially foreigners' fine items, has not decreased much.

Wang Yunyi understands very well that if this kind of mirror is given to these people, it will not be sold at all, not to mention, this mirror is easy to carry, expensive and not easy to damage, and it can be used as hard currency at the bottom of the box like gold jewelry, not to mention, there is also the connotation story of eliminating demons and exorcisms, which has a more terrifying effect.

With the current situation, it's hard to say if there are more, but if there are only twenty or thirty mirrors, no, even if there are fifty, he Wang Yunyi is confident that they will all be sold at the price of three thousand taels of silver, if it is good, four thousand is also possible!

If you make a thousand or even two thousand taels of silver from changing hands, is there anything more profitable than this?

Compared with this transaction, the three thousand taels of silver given to Li Yongji are really nothing, not to mention, you can still use jade and gold to offset the price.

Thinking of this, the more Wang Yunyi looked at Li Yongji, the happier he became, this is simply his own fortune boy!

As everyone knows, Li Yongji, who seems to be drunk, looks at Wang Yunyi the same, and thinks that Wang Yunyi is his own fortune boy.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and there was a deep female voice, it turned out that Yueniang's fish soup was ready, which was sent by Yueniang herself.

"Hahaha, come on, come on." Wang Yunyi laughed, "Let's not talk about idle things, let's eat fish, Boss Yue's fish soup is not something that ordinary people can eat, this time we are blessed!" ”
