Chapter 24: My Aunt and Grandmother

It is true that these 400 grams of silver are not a big business, but ordinary people rarely buy so much. Even if you make five cents a gram, it's not less.

"It's good to have, by the way, divide me by forty grams, preferably into silver dollars." Li Anran nodded and said again.

"Forty grams a piece? Fashioned into silver dollars? I said, old classmate, what are you trying to do? Chow Tai Fook, who was somewhat surprised by such a request, asked.

"What do you care about me, I'll buy it back and collect it, and it's not that I won't give you money. By the way, I don't want you to give any discounts, but things must not be problematic. ”

Li Anran was not stupid enough to reveal his true purpose, but only reminded the other party not to be so curious in a half-joking way, and also emphasized the quality.

"That's right, why do I care so much. But it's a bit troublesome to make a silver dollar, and you have to reopen the mold according to your requirements, by the way, I have a ready-made one here. ”

"It's the kind that imitates Yuan Datou during the Republic of China, but there are some problems with the weight, each piece is only about twenty-six grams, one is too little, and two is too much."

Knowing that he asked what he shouldn't have asked, Chow Tai Fook slapped his head and diverted the topic just now, and turned the topic to the issue of making silver dollars.

"Yuan Datou? I don't want that. If it's really troublesome, you can make anything for me if you think it's easy, it's really hard to get it, and silver cakes will do. ”

Li Anran didn't expect that the silver dollar production still needed to be re-opened, as for Yuan Datou, it must not be used, take Yuan Datou to Datang to consume, that is not nonsense. Even if Datang doesn't have any legal provisions for things like printing avatars on silver dollars, if something goes wrong, it won't be asking for trouble at that time.

"Silver Cake?"

Chow Tai Fook, who was stunned for a moment, felt that his old classmate suddenly bought so much silver, most likely because he wanted to invest in this area, so he said: "Otherwise, according to the amount you said, I will directly make you into silver bars." Anyway, there are ready-made machines at home, and it doesn't take much time. ”

"Silver bars? Okay, just do as you say. Forty grams, you get me ten. By the way, what would it look like if it only had four grams of silver? "Thinking that he prepared these silvers for the purpose of throwing stones and asking for directions before the development of Datang time and space, Li Anran didn't pay too much attention to it.

"Four grams? The portion size is a little less. If you really want to do it, you can only make some silver beans, silver beads, or the kind of antique coins, which are small versions of copper coins. ”

"Copper coins? Do you have a ready-made one here? ”

"Yes, you just entered, you wait, I'll give it to you."

Soon, Chow Tai Fook came over with a tray with bright silver coins on the plate.

These coins are really the same shape as copper coins, round on the outside and square on the inside, and the words are printed on both sides, small and exquisite, which is very antique.

"Yo, this thing looks really good, rich and peaceful, blessed and prosperous, more than every year, nominated for the gold list, tsk, it's all auspicious words." After picking up a few silver coins in the plastic seal and playing with them in his hand for a while, Li Anran was quite satisfied with this kind of small thing that was specially collected and gifted.

"How about it, yes, now when there are festivals or any happy events, it is popular to send these, not to mention the collection value, but also to maintain and appreciate the value."

"It's just that the amount is a little different from what you asked, and this one weighs five grams." Seeing that the old classmate was very satisfied, Chow Tai Fook didn't forget to remind him.

"Five grams? Five grams is five grams, but you're already jewelry, and it's definitely more expensive than me buying silver. After a deep groan, Li Anran said.

"Don't worry, outsiders must sell it at the price of jewelry, if you want it, I will still go at the price of silver." Chow Tai Fook said with a smile.

"Bright! In that case, in addition to the ten silver bars you just had, give me a hundred of these coins. Again, there can be no problem with quality. ”

Li Anran knew very well that there was a lot of difference between the value of the silver material and the finished product, and he didn't care about the difference of 0.5 grams at the moment, and directly made a decision. It was half an hour before and after, and ten 45-gram silver bars and 100 silver coins printed with various auspicious words arrived in Li Anran's hands.

In terms of quality, Chow Tai Fook is not ambiguous. Directly invited his old classmates to the workshop behind his shop, and made them on the spot in person. Unfinished silver bars look far less beautiful than those coins, and the filamentous lines are easily visible to the naked eye on the surface.

After getting the silver bars, Chow Tai Fook also gave a black and a red, two flannel bags specially used for jewelry. It is about the size of the palm of your hand, and the workmanship is exquisite. After paying the bill, Li Anran did not leave in a hurry, but sat in the shop with Chow Tai Fook, who had no business for the time being, and chatted.

"I said Ah Fu, your shop also collects gold and silver in addition to selling gold and silver, right?"

"Accept it, what, what do you have to take care of your old classmates?"

"I can't talk about it, it's not the last time I've been a little quiet, I want to go to the city to do some small business, and I don't have much cash on hand, so I want to sell some gold."

"Okay, as long as the things are okay, I don't dare to say that the price must be higher than others, but it is absolutely kind." Chow Tai Fook, who had just made a fortune, patted his chest and said.

Li Anran was very satisfied with the other party's attitude of not asking him about the source of gold at all, but he didn't say anything, but changed the topic with a change of tone.

"With your words, then I will rest assured, and when I decide, I will bring something over, and then I will look at the goods. By the way, Ah Fu, do you make copper coins? ”

"Copper coins? You mean antiques? ”

"It's not an antique, I don't understand it."

"You mean, custom-made copper coins? Like the kind sold in feng shui shops? ”

"Uh...... That's pretty much what it means. ”

"I've never done this business before, but if you really want to get it, I can get some for you next time I buy it." Chow Tai Fook pondered for a moment and said.

"Well, if you can find a way to do this, help me ask how to calculate the cost of custom-made copper coins." Li Anran, who put down the teacup, said.

"No problem, I've memorized this, I'll call you as soon as I have news." Although he was a little curious, Chow Tai Fook was very smart and didn't ask much.

After the two chatted for a while, seeing that it was also time for lunch, Li Anran waved his hand and took Chow Tai Fook to Lishui's house, which had the best business. If it were someone else, it was really not easy to get a private room in a well-known restaurant in the county, but it was very easy for Li Anran.

As soon as the two of them entered the door, they saw a beautiful young woman coming up to them.

"Little Lizi, how can you get it empty-handed, I want to get the goods last time?"

"My aunt, didn't you just give the wine three days ago?"

Looking at the other party's cross-waisted glare, Li Anran, who had long been accustomed to this character, directly raised his hands to make a surrender gesture, with an expression of sincerity and wrong.

"Hmph, you know what I'm talking about, I don't care, I'm just going to entertain a distinguished guest here in two days, and you can't drop the chain at a critical time."

Hu Jing is dressed in a decent cheongsam, showing her curvaceous figure to the fullest. coupled with a delicate and beautiful face, it is enough to make many female stars embarrassed.

"Sister Jing, I don't want to drop the chain either. Otherwise, I'll send myself to me then. Li Anran pretended to be sad and said.

"I'm a restaurant, not Sun Erniang's black shop! What's the use of your flesh! Looking at the appearance of the big man with his head drooping in front of him, Hu Jing, who was holding back a smile, put his hand in front of the other party after rewarding him with a trick and a yang finger.

"I know that Sister Lu Dao, you won't stop if you don't move the little wine at home, okay, isn't it just a jar of wine, I'll give it!" In the past, every time Li Anran came to deliver wine, he would basically be bypassed by the other party for various reasons, and he was already used to it.

In the past, the jars soaked by the old man used tiger bones as the main material and several Chinese medicinal materials as auxiliary materials, and Li Anran was reluctant to give it to people. But now it's different, as long as I can return to Datang, let alone a few tiger bones at that time, as long as there is enough money, the whole tiger can be dragged back.

Of course, the premise is that it is really realistic to speculate that you can travel back and forth.
