089: Going round and round

"Let's go find two ID cards and the corresponding McDonald's in Tou**** Dun, Joel tells Sergei about the next plan, "and then ......"

"yes, I see." Unable to ask Joel about his complete plan three times or twice, Sergey also gave up on the idea and stared intently at the Coca-Cola in his hand.

"You like to drink Coke so much, why don't you buy a bunch of them back to school after you make money." Joel looked at Sergei's mouth and didn't take it off the straw and couldn't help but quip.

Sergei, who has always liked to go straight, did not react, but only responded with a muffled voice.

Joel finished the fries on his tray and handed Sergei the unopened Coke.

Sergei drank the Coke in his arms, refilled it, and then left McDonald's after Joel with a Coke in one hand.

Today is a British holiday, and there are not a few people on the bus.

Joel and Sergei deliberately came to the downtown area and took one of the most crowded buses, on which the Ministry of Magic traces did not work at all.

The two of them took advantage of their short stature, and the two of them secretly hung a phantom charm to cut people's wallets with magic wands, took their ID cards and hair together, and then intimately sealed the wallets with the restoration as before, and put a few pieces of change as compensation for the loss of the ID card.

Of course, due to their height, they can only steal the hair of those passengers who are sitting in the seats.

Thanks to the "excellent" water quality in the UK, passengers had a bunch of hair detached from their hair follicles on their heads every morning, which Joel and Sergey took off without much effort.

The next day, they set off from the Leaky Cauldron and went to the fast food restaurant next to King's Cross Station, where they changed into their thick coats and shoes in the bathroom.

"Does this still work?" Sergei looked at the compound decoction with a hesitant expression.

Both of them almost ran out of polyjuice decoction in the USSR, not to mention the fact that someone else's hair had already been spared in the bottle with the polyjuice decoction, which, in Sergey's impression, clearly did not meet their requirements.

"That's what I do," Joel poured the two of them together, closed the lid and shook it up and down evenly, then poured half of it into Sergai's bottle, "I've asked Alan before, and I'm confident in his Potions knowledge." ”

"It's just not like it."

"That's it?" Sergei lowered his voice, "Isn't this serious enough?" ”

Joel shrugged his shoulders, "Isn't it normal for a face to be slightly different from an ID card?" Fat or thin or bald or ...... Well, there is no next word or word. ”

“…… You say yes, that's it. Sergei sighed, took a Coke from Joel's pocket-sized pouch, and poked a straw into it.

"Well, let's drink it, the rest of the amount is not enough to last a day, we have to hurry up and work." Joel handed Sergei the compound decoction that he put into his hair again, and then he took out more than 3,000 grams of gold from his bag, and then drank his share of the compound decoction, every inch of his body was changing, his leg bones and hand bones were elongated and thinned, and he became a middle-aged man with a sick and thin body.

Sergei looked at Joel, holding an ID card in his hand, "Don't say it, I really don't see any obvious difference." ”

The two rushed to the pawnshop with a large bag of gold.

"These gold," the manager of the pawn shop glanced at the documents and shifted his gaze to the two middle-aged men sitting opposite him, "is it ...... way?"

Joel pretended to be a middle-aged man and said coldly, "But gold is real gold, and your subordinates have verified it just now, and I'm not afraid to tell you where this gold came from - the north." ”

The manager's chubby face showed a gleam, "Don't worry, of course we will receive the gold, but the price is ......"

"How about $300 an ounce?" The manager first made an offer, and the source of the gold was unknown, and he kept the price as low as possible.

"I'll have to explain it up front," Joel said, hunching his legs, "and we've got a lot of gold coming from the north in the future, if you negotiate with that sincerity......"

"$310!" The manager blurted out.

Joel leaned back, his hands crossed together, and seemed to have the initiative in the price negotiations, "We don't want dollars...... How can we ask for dollars? ”

"We want silver in exchange, do you have it?" Joel had a faint smile on his face.

The manager's heart turned a thousand times, "Of course, all this gold has been exchanged for spot silver?" ”

"That's right, it's all silver." Joel said, "The price is $3.8 an ounce, right?

"On the last day of the year, it was $3.86 an ounce...... the manager smiled.

In 1991-1992, the gold-to-silver ratio reached an all-time high, which provided Joel's plan with a wider margin of profitability.

"At $3.9 an ounce, do you have enough here?"

"I'll be able to get it together this afternoon." The manager dialed the phone and told the matter to continue.

258,730 grams of silver, a total of 258.73 kilograms of silver, and the pawn shop also specially transported the goods to Charing Cross Road by car.

After sending off the pawn shop, Joel and Sergey put the silver in a small pocket.

"Finally got all the silver in it." Joel said with a bitter face that the space widened by the Traceless Stretching Spell was not a bottomless pit, but closely related to the space of the original object, and the effect of casting the Traceless Stretching Charm at the same time on a suitcase and a small purse was completely different.

This pocket bag can hold so much silver is already the limit, and Joel is thinking about making money and then changing to a bag with more space.

The duo entered Gringotts in Diagon Lane through the Leaky Cauldron Bar on Charing Crossroads.

It was the same bespectacled old leprechaun who received them.

"I want to ask, are you right to collect silver?" Joel stepped forward and whispered in the elf's ear.

The old elf's ears twitched, "Of course, Gringotts, as the only currency issuer in the wizarding world, buys gold, silver, and copper, and crafts them into Galleons, Siko, and Nat, which circulate around the world as currency. ”

"Is the Golden Galleon made of pure gold?"

"There's pure gold in it, but we've added other metals as well!" Speaking of this, the goblin was obviously a little dissatisfied, "We at Gringotts use the finest metal, this is the reputation that Gringotts has accumulated for hundreds of years!" ”

"And if I had 100 kilograms of silver, how much would you pay?" Joel asked, staring at the goblin without blinking.

Sergei gasped, he seemed to understand something.

"We don't just buy silver," the goblin stared, "We only accept commissions for the production of silver sink, and usually we charge a certain amount of processing fees. ”

"Sir, do you really want to exchange 100 kilograms of silver?" The goblin's eyes were full of hope, and he felt that he was going to have a lot more bonuses this month.
