Chapter Seventy-Seven

"Monet" hurriedly covered his mouth: "Brother, be quiet, in fact, one pound is still the lowest price, and it is possible to sell it for three or five pounds!" ā€

"Oh my God! Oh, my God! A penny can be exchanged for three to five pounds, and this, this is simply God giving us wealth! I'll have to look for them on the street when I have time, there's no way it's just that one vendor who can get these shells, and we'll buy them all!" Mr. Allen suppressed his excitement and whispered excitedly to "Monet".

"Of course, this is true, but you must keep this matter a secret from my brother." "Monet" admonished.

"Don't worry, how could I tell others about this kind of good thing to get rich!" Alan promised.

But in fact, Alan didn't keep the secret, and by the next day, almost everyone knew the secret, even the old man who watched the door of the hotel where "Monet" was staying knew the news, and even took the trouble to popularize what kind of holy shells are more valuable with everyone, as for the street naturally no longer found a vendor selling holy shells.

At this time, "Monet" couldn't help but snort angrily and accused Allen: "Brother, how did you promise me last night?" Didn't you say that your mouth is the strictest? Why does it seem that the whole of Ipswich now knows about it? ā€

"But, I really didn't tell anyone else!" Mr. Allen argued.

"Really?" "Monet" asked incredulously.

"I—I'll tell you Mrs. Sculley......" Mr. Allen said, looking a little embarrassed.

"Monet" patted his forehead and said depressedly: "It's over, then you don't need to ask, my future sister-in-law must have told her friends, and then her friends will spread to her relatives and friends, then this secret will be completely meaningless!" ā€

"Eh, Tony, don't be angry yet, what should you do about this now?" Alan asked cautiously.

"So what else can I do? Since you can't buy it, forget it, anyway, we're not short of that money! "Monet" said angrily.

Mr. Allen can be said to be very depressed about missing this opportunity to make money, but within two days, another God-given opportunity came to him!

On this day, I saw Alan running away with great interest and said to "Monet": "Tony, do you think I encountered something good today?" ā€

Maybe it was because he was too excited, so before "Monet" could answer, Alan rushed to say: "You definitely can't guess, I'll tell you directly, today when I went to the park after taking a nap, I actually saw someone selling holy shells, and only sold them for thirty pence, how could I miss this kind of good thing, so I immediately bought them all, there are more than three hundred, and this is hundreds or even thousands of pounds when it changes hands in the Americas!" ā€

"Monet" took a shallow sip of the coffee in his hand and said indifferently: "Dear Brother Allen, you are right, but I can't afford to go to America for the sake of three hundred holy shells, right?" ā€

"Well, that's right." Mr. Allen scratched his hair and replied, but then he said with a bitter face, "Then, Tony, are these three hundred holy shells useless?" ā€

"Monet" replied with a smile: "Brother, you don't have to worry so much, so let's do it, I will collect all your three hundred holy shells, and I will collect them at the price of one pound each, anyway, I am not afraid to put this thing, and when I go to America again, I will sell these holy shells by the way." ā€

"Oh, dear Tony, you're so nice!" Mr. Allen said gratefully.

"Brother, what are you polite to me, if you encounter such a holy shell again in the future, as long as the price is not too excessive, you will buy them all, and I will buy them all here according to one pound." "Monet" patted his chest and assured.

"How do you make it look like I'm taking advantage of you and making your money!" Mr. Allen said with some embarrassment.

"How can this be called brother, you earn my money, this is just that I will share a part of the profits with you in advance, you also know that this holy shell can definitely be sold for more than a pound in the Americas." "Monet" said with relief.

"That's right, that's the same, Na Cheng, if you encounter this holy shell in the future, I'll help you collect it all!" Alan promised.

At this time, Mary also came over and asked "Monet", "Tony, a good friend of mine also happened to buy some holy shells, and he wants me to ask if you can accept them?" ā€

"Monet" nodded without hesitation and replied: "Yes, yes, but since it is your friend, it is impossible to buy it at the purchase price of one pound, by the way, how much did your friend buy?" ā€

"Well, she said twenty pence a piece, but I don't think there are so many." Downing guessed.

But before "Monet" could speak, Mr. Allen on the side exclaimed, "Huh? Why did she buy it so cheaply? Am I being deceived by that damn outlander? However, Mary did not believe that Alan would be deceived, but it was more likely that he would raise the purchase price, after all, he could make more money from "Monet".

But "Monet" didn't seem to think of this at all, but persuaded Allen: "Brother, it's okay, it's a big deal, it's a big deal to make a little less." ā€

Then he turned to Mary and said, "Well, I'll buy it from your friend for twenty-five pence, and ask her if she's willing to sell it." ā€

Maybe it was because he saw the profits, so Ipsvich began to have many people go around looking for this kind of holy shell, not to mention, they really found a lot, and then they sold it to "Monet" through various connections, and in just a few days, many people made a small profit.

But it's a pity that the good times didn't last long, a few days later, when a large number of people still came to the hotel where "Monet" was staying with a lot of holy shells, Mr. "God of Wealth" and "Monet" in the eyes of everyone suddenly spread his hands at everyone and said: "I'm sorry, friends, because I have bought too many holy shells from everyone in the past few days, so I have no money in my hands now, so I can't continue to buy." ā€

Hearing "Monet" say this, someone immediately asked suspiciously: "Mr. Monet, didn't you make a fortune in the United States?" How can there be no money? ā€

PS: I highly recommend TVB's new drama "The Case Against the Sky" is very exciting, and the pace is particularly fast, it can almost be said that it is second only to "The Ultimate Confession After Eighteen Years" that I have seen.
