Chapter 42: The First Plane Trade

Back at the orphanage, after lunch, Li Kuan wanted to find a chance to sneak back to Datang!

However!

He took a few cheap little brothers, but he found him at this time!

"Boss, boss, where have you been in the morning? We didn't see you! John asked curiously.

And the other little boys also showed curious looks!

"Oh, I found an empty room to sleep in!" Li Kuan said perfunctorily!

"Oh!"

John and the others were stunned.

Immediately, John asked Chi again, "By the way, Boss, Johnson and Hansen said that they also want to talk to you, you see..."

"Johnson and Hansen?"

Li Kuan raised his eyebrows, a little puzzled!

"It's the two henchmen who followed Robert that day!" John reminded.

"Oh!"

Li Kuan then remembered who the two were!

After thinking about it, Li Kuan asked, "What do you think?" ”

"I think... Yes! ”

John hesitated for a moment and then said, "The two brothers, Johnson and Hansen, usually just follow Robert, and they don't do anything bad, and even their pocket money is often robbed by Robert, I think we can let them join us!" ”

Li Kuan listened to John's words, and his eyes gradually revealed surprise!

This little kid...

Seems to have a bit of a brain, huh?

After such a thought flashed in his mind, Li Kuanzheng said, "Then do what you think!" ”

After speaking, Li Kuan thought about it, and added, "In the future, this kind of thing will be handled by you!" ”

"Yes, Boss!" After John got Li Kuan's approval, he happily agreed!

Then, with an expectant look, he asked, "By the way, Boss, should we give our organization a name?" ”

"I see that in those movies and on TV, organizations like ours have to have a name, like Mafia, Peaky Blinders, Corey Brothers, and so on, and I think we should have a name as well!"

"Uh-huh, uh-huh!"

The younger brothers also nodded in agreement, and begged, "Boss, you can give us a name!" ”

A name?

Seeing that the cheap little brothers asked like this, Li Kuan said in a deep voice, "Since you all asked for this, then I'll take a name!" As for what it's called..."

After a pause, he looked at the group of cheap brothers, and said with a little meaning, "It's called an umbrella!" ”

---

In the afternoon!

Li Kuan took advantage of the absence of the attention of the orphanage staff to use the door of space to descend on Diagon Alley again!

And this time!

He didn't wander around, he ran straight to Gringotts.

Soon!

And he came to the door of Gringotts!

"Wait, I think I forgot to think about it a little bit... Does Gringotts accept gold? Li Kuan couldn't help frowning when he thought of this!

Although the coins issued by Gringotts included gold galleons, Li Kuan was not sure if there was gold in them, or how much gold was added!

After all, according to the proportion, one gold galleon can be exchanged for five pounds, and in this era, one gram of gold is worth about ten pounds!

A gold galleon has a few grams, right?

If the Golden Galleon was made of pure gold, Gringotts would definitely be dead!

Thinking about it, Li Kuan was ruthless and said, "I've all come here, there's nothing to think about, let's go ask first!" ”

With that, he walked out of his way and walked into Gringotts!

"Let's let, let's let!"

"This gentleman, please!"

"Comparable, comparable, bring me ten Galleons!"

...

As soon as he entered the door, Li Kuan heard a commotion.

And with the noise are the goblins and wizards who are shuttling around the bank!

"Knock knock!"

After Li Kuan glanced at it, he found a counter with no one and knocked on it!

"Who, who?"

Since the counter at Gringotts was a bit high, the goblin who was in charge of this counter at the first time didn't see Li Kuan!

"Ahem! Cough! ”

And after Li Kuan coughed lightly twice, the goblin followed the sound and poked his head out of the counter to look down, and then he found him.

"Oh, it's a little gentleman!"

The goblin smiled and said, "What kind of business does this little gentleman want to handle?" Kerr will be there for you! ”

"My mom asked me to trade gold for some gold Galleons!" Li Kuan said quietly.

"No problem!" Kerr said without hesitation.

"Uh..."

Li Kuan was slightly stunned when he heard this answer!

Thing...

Seems easier than you think!?

Thinking about it, he took out two ingots of gold from his bosom, put them on the counter, and said, "These are these two!" ”

"Your gold content is not high, we need to identify the gold content!" Kerr picked it up and looked at it carefully, then said to Li Kuan.

"No problem!" Li Kuan nodded.

The gold was taken by him from Datang, and with Datang's backward alchemy technology, the gold content naturally cannot go up, which Li Kuan knows well!

Moreover, he also knows that the gold content of Datang's gold is about 10% to 15%!

And the two ingots of gold he took were one tael!

Well, don one or two!

One or two is about thirty-seven grams, which means that the two ingots add up to about seventy-four grams!

From this point of view, the gold content of the two gold he took was about seven to eleven grams!

At the value of this era, these two ingots could be exchanged for about seventy pounds to one hundred and ten pounds!

And according to five pounds and one gold Galleon, it can probably be exchanged for between fourteen gold Galleons and twenty-two gold Galleons!

"The gold content of these two ingots of gold is not high, about 14 percent, and the total is about 10 grams, according to the rules of our Gringotts, gold for gold Galleons, it takes a little handling fee, plus the gold content of your gold is not high, we have to refine it again, and we also need a handling fee, so we can only give you 19 gold Galleons, what do you think?" Kerr said solemnly.

Nineteen gold Galleons?

This is similar to what Li Kuan expected, and even a little higher than what he expected!

"Yes!" Li Kuan nodded.

Seeing that Li Kuan agreed, Kerr put away two ingots of gold, then took out a small bag from the side and put it in front of him!

"Sir, this is your golden Galleon, you can count it, we are not responsible for leaving the cabinet!" Kerr said.

"Hmm!"

Li Kuan was not hypocritical, what did he believe you don't need to order, and counted it directly in front of Kerr!

One piece!

Two pieces!

Three!

...

Soon!

After counting the shiny gold gallons, Li Kuan accepted his pocket and said, "That's right, it's nineteen!" ”

"Sir, do you have any other business to do?" Kerr is colored.

"No more!" Li Kuan shook his head.

"Then welcome to your next visit!" Kerr said politely.

Li Kuan understood as soon as he heard it, this was a send-off!

"These goblins are really TM reality, if you have business, you will call sir, and if you don't have business, you will send customers!" Li Kuan secretly complained in his heart.

However, on the surface, he didn't say anything, took the bag containing the gold galleons, turned around and left!

"This transaction is easier than I expected!"

After coming out, looking at the heavy pocket in his hand, the corners of Li Kuan's mouth couldn't help but rise, and he said secretly, "Speaking of which, this can be regarded as a perfect completion of my first plane trade, right?" ”

It was the first time he used something from the Datang plane to exchange for money from the Harry Potter plane!

However, speaking of which, he lost money on the plane trade this time.

Why?

Because of purchasing power!

Now the purchasing power of one pound is thought of as much as three pounds in the twenties of the twenty-first century.

In other words, one pound now is equal to almost twenty-seven soft sister coins in the future!

In Datang, although gold is not a circulating currency, it is more of an existence similar to jewelry, but its value is well... Not low!

In the non-war period, it was a little higher, one or two were about six or seven thousand, seven or eight thousand wen, and during the war, it was the current time of the Tang Dynasty, and the value was also about two or three thousand wen.

According to the purchasing power of about two or three yuan per penny, it is about 6,000 to 9,000 soft sister coins!

And one or two gold, Li Kuan just exchanged 9.5 gold galleons from Gringotts, that is, 47.5 pounds, which is equivalent to more than 140 pounds in the twenties of the 21st century, which is equivalent to more than 1,200 soft sister coins!

Using gold worth 6,000 to 9,000 soft sister coins for gold gallons worth more than 1,200 soft sister coins, no matter how you look at it, it's a blood loss!

Of course, plane trade, in fact, can't be counted like that!

After all, in this era, it is certainly not a problem to buy a hundred glass marbles for one pound, and it is definitely not a problem to sell a hundred glass marbles to Datang, one for ten yuan, and a total of a thousand yuan!
