Chapter 23: The Gold and Silver Shop

The new week is coming to an end, and the book is rushing to the list, asking for tips, favorites, recommendations, clicks, comments, and so on!

……

As for what was not worth much in ancient times, it is obviously much less valuable in modern times. Li Anran, who was searching and making records, only found some things that were also valuable in ancient times, such as precious tonics and the like.

And antiques or something, Li Anran also thought about it. It's just that the items produced by Datang at that time could not become antiques without the baptism of time. Unless an item from an earlier era can be found, it is possible to become an antique.

In addition to tonics, Li Anran also found a lot of wood that was very valuable in ancient times, such as golden silk nanmu, red sandalwood, etc., which are even more expensive now. In addition to this, the ancient jewels and jade, of course, must be natural here. Even some ingredients, such as abalone, shark fin, fish maw, sea cucumber, yellow-lipped fish, tiger whip, bear bile, etc., are also quite valuable.

It's just that among these things, tiger whips, bear bile, and the like are too sensitive. Without a secure sales channel, it's easy to get invited to tea. Maybe you'll get a "bracelet" and a private room for free.

After Li Anran unconsciously wrote down thousands of words in the document, he thought about it and thought about it, the easiest business to make money between Tang Zhenguan and modern times is actually very simple, just flip the currency. In terms of the monetary system of the first year of Zhenguan of the Tang Dynasty, one tael of gold is equal to ten taels of silver, and one tael of silver is equal to one thousand copper coins.

The value of modern silver, aside from the price on the Internet, the retail price of jewelry stores is at most ten or twenty yuan a gram, but what about the price of gold? At the 2013 gold price, even if the recycling price of gold was much lower than the retail price of a jewelry store, and the fineness of ancient gold was not as pure as it is today. But no matter how you say it, you can always sell it for 200 yuan a gram, and this time it is a tenfold difference.

If you are not afraid of trouble, you can directly find a place to produce a batch of copper coins and go back, and then directly exchange them for gold, that is, the processing costs, transportation costs and other costs are calculated together, and the profits of this round trip can be greater. But there is a fatal problem in doing so, even if brass and silver are counted, with the demand in the industrial field, as long as you find a suitable reason, even if the amount is very large, it can be justified, but gold is not easy to do.

If it's only a few hundred grams or even a few thousand grams of gold, it's okay to say, but how much gold is this gold worth? According to ten kilograms, it is only two or three million. This amount of money is not even possible to buy a decent villa in modern times. In other cities, such as Shanghai and Beijing, not to mention villas, they are ordinary real estate with better terrain, and this money is enough to buy a larger three-bedroom apartment.

As for why he wants so much money, Li Anran also has his own plans.

This person has to have some pursuits when he lives, and after having money, he lives drunk and dreamed of life, which is not Li Anran's style.

If there is no crossing thing happening, Li Anran may really make money for a few years, and then see if he can find a suitable girl, get married and have children like most people, and continue his ordinary life.

But now it is completely different, even if Li Anran never thought of doing anything in the Tang Dynasty to overthrow Li Shimin, and then compete for the "great" plan of dominating the world by himself, but if he wants to live a rich, comfortable and stable life there, he still needs to rely on modern time and space. Of course, the premise of all this is that he can indeed travel back and forth between Datang time and space and modern time and space, otherwise, it would be useless to think about it now.

But in any case, since there is a certain possibility, Li Anran will naturally not miss the opportunity now. Therefore, after recording the relevant content, I took the opportunity to take a bath to sort out my thoughts.

"Uncle Qian, I'm sorry, I'm going to ask you for help so soon." Li Anran, who changed into some casual clothes after taking a shower, stood in front of Qian Junhao and said with a smile.

"What is this, you have to talk about it, I just haven't had anything to do in the afternoon, so I'll accompany you." Qian Junhao, who was about to drink a few books at noon, said with a smile.

After saying hello to Qian Junhao and saying a few polite words, Li Anran quickly got into the agricultural tricycle that came. More than half an hour later, the two of them had already arrived at Lishui County. Qian Junhao originally meant that when he came, he naturally had to send people back to the village. But Li Anran didn't want his later actions to be seen by the other party, so he directly found an excuse to make an appointment with his old classmates and sent the other party back first.

After the agricultural tricycle disappeared at the intersection, Li Anran went directly to the Agricultural Bank not far from the original bus station, and took out 10,000 yuan and put it in his hand. Then I walked to the most popular Tongji Street Commercial Plaza in the county, and turned a few corners along the shops to a relatively remote area.

"Boss! There's business coming to the door!! As soon as he walked into a store with the signboard of Zhouji gold and silver shop, Li Anran shouted very unvividly.

"I'll go! I thought it was a big boss who came to the door, and it was you kid who had been doing it for a long time. Chow Tai Fook, who had just come out of the toilet after putting out the water, said angrily.

"Cut! How? Looking down on old classmates? Okay, then I can't change to another house. Li Anran raised his middle finger, and without saying a word, he turned his head and was about to walk out.

"Ouch hey! Look at this, I look down on whom, how dare I look down on you, my old classmate. Hurry up and sit down, Fen Fen, hurry up and pour the tea. ”

Seeing that someone was really leaving, Chow Tai Fook hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his high school classmate, turned around and shouted at his girlfriend who was still busy working behind.

"It's pretty much the same, how's it going, what's the business doing in the store lately." Li Anran, who didn't plan to really leave, sat down on the chair and asked.

"What else, just make do with it, just eat a mouthful." took a pack of twenty yuan of Su Yan from the drawer, Chow Tai Fook handed over a cigarette and said.

"Okay, I'm not here to ask you to borrow money, don't cry poor with me. Let's get down to business, there is a small business to take care of you this time, how about it, are you interested? ”

"Interested! I'm not interested in anything, no matter how small the mosquito legs are, it's also meat. ”

"That's good, you don't do silver in this store except gold." Li Anran, who took the cigarette and did not light it, said.

"Why, do you, want to get some silver jewelry and give it away?" Chow Tai Fook lit a cigarette in his mouth and asked.

"If you want to give away people and give gold, do you want to give silver?" Li Anran said disdainfully.

"Why not, it has been popular recently to give silver jewelry when the baby is full moon, what silver bracelets, longevity and wealth locks, anklebells and the like, sell well." Pointing to his counters full of finished jewelry, Chow Tai Fook said.

"Okay, when your kid gives birth to a baby, I'll give you a set of these things. But that's not what I'm going to do here. ”

"That's a good dare, it seems that I have to pick a set for my baby son in advance." Chow Tai Fook said with a smile.

"Yo drink! It seems that your kid is going to be quite able to get it, so he is pregnant? ”

"How's that, envy."

"I'm really envious."

"Then you should hurry up and find one, I am afraid that I will not have children if I have a daughter-in-law."

"Come on, I don't want to enter the siege so early."

"Cut! If you can't eat grapes, you can say that grapes are sour! ”

The two chatted here, and saw a good-looking girl paper coming from behind. Not only did I send two cups of tea, but also a plate of melon seeds and peanuts.

"I said brother and sister, I heard Ah Fu say that you are pregnant, why do you still do these things." Li Anran, who took the teacup, smiled teasingly.

"It's nothing, it's a little thing, it's idle and idle, and it's not tiring to do it." Zhou Fen, who is very kind, feels like a housewife.

"I don't want my daughter-in-law to be busy with this, but she just can't be idle, how about it, it's virtuous enough, right?" Chow Tai Fook, who was very proud, said with a smile.

"That is, if you kid can find his younger siblings, it is definitely a great virtue in his previous life." With a thumbs up, Li Anran praised.

Zhou Fen also knew that the two had something to talk about, and after laughing a few words, he returned to the back of the shop and continued to work in the kitchen.

"Okay, I won't talk to you about that. To get down to business, I want to buy 400 grams of silver this time, do you have the goods here? Li Anran, who finished drinking tea, said with a straight face.

"Four hundred grams? Yes. Zhou Taifu was stunned for a moment and said.
