Chapter 18 Valuable Glass Beads
(Chapter 2 to, ask for collection and ask for tickets!) )
Liu Qi followed GLP up the steps to the second floor from several shop guards.
Well, the level of architecture in ancient Rome is really good, and the Bronze Age produced a rudimentary unfinished version of cement, otherwise the walls of Bella and the dense stone houses in the city are not so easy to build...
After paying a little attention to the stone slabs under his feet and the stones on the walls and the things that acted as glues in them, Liu Qi suddenly noticed that this seemed to be something similar to modern cement.
Liu Qi couldn't help but admire the scientific and technological level of the Romans in his own heart.
But thinking about the rows of web search terms after searching for the achievements and destruction of ancient Rome on Baidu, Liu Qi disagreed, no matter how glorious the civilization was destroyed, leaving only some wreckage and cultural relics to become nostalgia.
Besides, I'm not a historian.,But for gold, silver, jewelry and other wealth.,Shijie said,For the Romans, can this kind of thing be comparable to the real building? If this is the case, then all those construction engineers in Shijie, who have developed the reality for thousands of years, should die, don't stay on Shijie and waste food, even the guys who are not as good as the ancients thousands of years ago have no need to waste food alive.
"Sir, please come in!"
GLP politely woke Liu Qi up from YY.
"Oh? Oh!! Am I going in alone? ”
Liu Qi, who was woken up from his YYshijie (the habit left by otaku), found that he had already reached the second floor, and Pros stayed in front of the staircase, looking at himself in front of two second-floor guards wearing bronze armor and carrying shields and short swords, but he didn't have any intention of leading himself in, so he asked.
"Yes! Sir, Mr. Terry is waiting for you inside! ”
After getting this reply, Liu Qi, who had a gun in his hand, of course went in without hesitation, in the corridor of the room, the submachine gun can exert two hundred percent of its power, even if the other party is wearing bronze armor and holding a weapon shield in the face of 11.43 caliber high-power pistol bullets, there is only a dead end, Liu Qi is not worried that the other party will come to see the fortune.
The two heavily armed guards obviously got the permission of their boss and directly let Liu Qi go over easily, while GLP went down directly to re-alert.
……………………
The bargaining process is not mentioned.
Anyway, an hour later, Liu Qi was personally sent downstairs by Terry, the big owner of Terry's jewelry store.
Looking at the expressions of the two of them, it is obvious that they both think that they have taken a big advantage in the transaction just now, otherwise they would not all be smiling, as happy as if they had picked up dozens of gold coins or won hundreds of thousands of lottery tickets.
"Big money, ten transparent glass beads the size of a thumb are sold in the city of Rome for at least thousands of gold coins, especially this is an oriental pearl glass bead that has never been seen before! Well, the mysterious Oriental glass beads! This name is definitely a good buying point, or ten glass beads of the same quality! If the necklace is made, those noble ladies and noble ladies in Rome must not go crazy, and the Terry shop will definitely be famous in Rome this time, and it will not be squeezed out like last time! Hey, isn't that Nina? How did you go out with this businessman..."
Holding up a woman with a big belly like a woman who was seven or eight months pregnant, Terry, the owner of the jewelry store who was dressed in golden light, under the personal escort of several heavily armed people, personally sent Liu Qi downstairs, watched Liu Qi talk to the beautiful female clerk named Nina in his store and left together, secretly thinking in his heart.
"Earned! Earned!! Ten transparent glass beads with a unit price of one dollar can be sold for five hundred and thirty gold coins, Nima is faster than a robbery, or the other party took the initiative to send it to the door, sure enough, the turtles of the Bronze Age can't see that this is the most worthless glass bead at all! ”
Liu Qi is also in a very happy mood, after all, no one can use worthless glass beads to exchange for a large amount of golden gold coins, especially after successfully talking to a beautiful woman.
Well, obviously Liu Qi is not black enough, otherwise according to the Age of Discovery, there are even black-hearted Western merchants who exchange a few worthless colored glass beads in the hands of the natives for large tracts of land (typical examples are Mi Lijian's Manhattan Peninsula and New York State), gold, slaves and precious furs, Liu Qi is now only exchanging a few hundred gold coins is really pediatric-level, too soft-hearted.
Hmm, it's crooked, let's take a look at Liu Qi and Nina who are walking on the road in the city now.
Nina finally figured out that Liu Qi didn't have a crush on her (really, isn't it?). Instead, I was going to ask her to introduce the sale and purchase of houses in Bella City, well, to be precise, it was to see if Nina knew anyone in this area, Nina, the clerk of the shop, always knew more about the doorway here than Liu Qi.
"Mr. Liu*, what kind of house do you need?"
After walking to the street, Nina, whose face had returned to normal, questioned Liu Qi, she didn't know that the man with black hair and black eyes in front of her was dressed strangely (??? What kind of house do you want? If it is a house in an ordinary residential area and a commercial area, she still knows one or two people who can take Liu Qi over as an introducer, but she has no way to do it in those luxurious residences or aristocratic areas in the city, after all, as a clerk in a jewelry store, she doesn't know those high-status people, which has to be explained in advance.
“… Well, Nina, you can just call me 'Liu', I need a sturdy and safe house, preferably with basement storage, how much does this kind of house cost? ”
Liu Qi looked carefully at the blonde beauty in front of him with his eyes that had reached the first level of pilot, and he was almost enthusiastic about opening his mouth, and he admired it in his heart. I didn't pay much attention to the jewelry when I first heard the other party introduce them, but now that I look closely, the other party is indeed a beauty.
Her long blond hair like a waterfall is unusually conspicuous, her skin doesn't have the feeling of rough pores like that of ordinary white women, and her figure is quite good, plus her middle-class appearance... Tsk, 65 points.
Don't think that this score is low, in fact, according to Liu Qi's scoring standards for women, ordinary beauties are 60 points, and ordinary women, commonly known as the passing line, are 50 points, and if they are less than 50 points, they are basically the uglier kind. Well, like the famous Sister Feng, the score is about 30 points, and those with a score of less than 30 can belong to the kind of ancient dinosaur level existence, and you can go directly to act in a live-action horror movie without any makeup. The grade of 60~70 points is the level of ordinary beauties and one in a hundred, which belongs to the kind of level that can directly apply to be a movie star and model, which is already quite good, at least Liu Qi can only watch it before he is an otaku, or watch a small movie or H anime by himself.
“… Haode, Liu, according to your requirements, the houses in the ordinary residential area and the commercial area in Beila City can meet your requirements, but are you in a hurry to buy? In this case, the price may be higher! ”
Nina said with a slight frown.
Of course, Nina can feel Liu Qi's burning gaze, because Liu Qi has no intention and experience to hide it at all, but in Nina's opinion, it is not a big deal, men and women love naturally.
The ancient Roman atmosphere is only open is not boasting, Nina is probably not more than twenty years old in appearance, but the experience between men and women has been experienced many times, and even her first experience was taken by the jewelry store owner Terry, and even now she occasionally climbs into Terry's bed with other women. It is with this relationship that she can lead Liu Qi to find the boss, otherwise ordinary clerks do not have this ability, of course, this is also the reason why she has the courage to refuse the plea of GLP's store guard captain without being retaliated against or even embarrassed.
Liu Qi's figure and appearance have become much taller and stronger after the change, and he lives up to the previous otaku physique, which can barely be regarded as handsome.
In Nina's eyes, Liu Qi, a man dressed in strange clothes, can only be regarded as a medium level compared to the men she has experienced, but the black hair and black eyes have a sense of exoticism.
The most important thing is that Nina's first impression of Liu Qi is not bad, so she acquiesces to Liu Qi's intimate title, and also cares a little about Liu Qi, so that Liu Qi will not remind her of the problems if she doesn't say it.
"I'm short on time, so it's okay to have a higher price, but Nina, how much do you expect the price to reach? Let's talk about it first, so that I can have a bottom price in my heart. ”
Of course, Liu Qi is ignorant of Nina's psychological activities, after all, he can't read minds, but since Nina acquiesced to his intimate title and called herself Liu Hou familiarly, of course he understands that this beauty is at least not disgusted with herself, otherwise he has no way to reject him.
"Well, the price of ordinary residents' houses in Beila City is not cheap, the houses of ordinary residents are about 50~100 gold coins, and the price of shops is much higher, the price of a small shop with the lowest price I know needs 300 gold coins, and the price of those big shops is not clear..."
Nina observed Liu Qi's face as she spoke, and saw Liu Qi's frowning slightly after hearing that the price of a small shop was as high as a few hundred gold coins, so she didn't introduce the shops that would definitely be higher in the back.
“… Nina, is it okay to choose a house for ordinary residents? It doesn't matter if the price is a little higher, but it should be fast, and it is better to have a vacant house that can be sold today! ”
Hearing Nina's words, Liu Qi suddenly felt that his eggs hurt very much, how could the housing prices in ancient Rome be so high, so that people would not live, Nima is really a real estate that can't be hurt.
But fortunately, Liu Qi now has a lot of gold coins on hand, and it is more than enough to buy a house.
"Well, Haode, Liu!"
…………………….
Three hours later, on a street in the city of Bella
"This is the house where I spent 200 gold coins???"
Liu Qi looked at the house in front of him with a strange face, which was about two hundred square meters in size.
The stone wall, the gate and the two gateposts, inside is a flat land of about dozens of square meters, with a gravel road paved on the ground, and surrounded by two small flower gardens and meadows, and the innermost is a two-story stone house, which looks similar to the small courtyard house in the countryside of the Celestial Empire.
