Chapter 80: Checks and Balances

"If the boss is not interested in these mundane things in front of me, I still have some silver dollars, stamps or something here."

Hearing the shopkeeper talk about silver dollars and stamps, Ye Chen immediately became interested again.

The secretary of the mayor who accompanied him was worried that the owner of the shop would fool Ye Chen with fakes, so he cautiously followed to appreciate it.

A small wooden box was removed from the wooden shelf, and the shopkeeper took the silver dollar inside to Ye Chen.

"This is minted by the Feng Provincial Mint, and there are not a few such coins in the country."

The mayor's secretary joked: "This old society thing makes your mouth a rarity, you have to tell me how much this thing is worth, whether it can withstand the price of a hundred catties of rice." ”

As soon as the shopkeeper heard the secretary of the town station, he knew that he was a layman and didn't know the doorway here.

Although I don't know much about it, I still know a few old objects handed down by my ancestors.

Looking carefully at the silver dollar in his hand, he couldn't help but think of a brief introduction to ancient coins that he had seen at the old man at the stall that day.

Looking at the pattern on the edge of this silver dollar, it should be from Fengxing.

I vaguely remember that there was also a record in the book, 'The fire at the Fengzhou Mint Bureau caused a failure in the minting machinery, and the pipe belt regarded this coin as a bad omen, discarded the template, and rebuilt it. ’

In this way, these silver dollars in front of him should be the few surviving silver dollars in the Feng Provincial Mint.

"These silver dollars, plus these stamps, how much are you going to cut love?"

The shopkeeper stretched out a hand to gesture, and Ye Chen smiled lightly, "It's too expensive." ”

"There are only 7 large coins made in this small box, plus these stamps, it is really not expensive at all, it is definitely worth the money."

Ye Chen pretended to be distressed and said: "Whoever let me have this habit of collecting, it depends on the boss's wishes." ”

Hao Tong gave the shopkeeper a thousand yuan and collected the silver dollars in the small box.

The mayor's secretary said, "Is such a few Yuan Datou worth these dollars?" ”

Ye Chen said with a smile: "The price of this collection is what you and I want." Let's go, let's go look elsewhere. ”

Seeing Ye Chen and his party leaving, the mayor's secretary turned his head to look at the greedy shopkeeper and reprimanded: "Do you know who the leader was just now!" ”

"How do I know who he is, isn't he just a big fool who came to pour antiques."

The mayor's secretary directly took out his work card to show his identity, "The leader just now is a big entrepreneur invited by our mayor from a neighboring county to help us sell goods in the town.

You are now slaughtering a thousand yuan, if the goods in our town are unsalable because of this matter, the work of tens of thousands of people in the town will be over, and you will wait for the mayor to clean you up in person. ”

With that, the mayor's secretary hurriedly followed.

Approaching noon, the mayor of Houcun Town took the cadres of the mine to talk with Ye Chen about procurement.

But after the mayor's secretary reported what happened to Ye Chen in the small antique shop, the mayor immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

"What, there's such a thing. Didn't you tell the store who you were at the time? ”

"Mr. Ye won't let it."

The mayor of Houcun Town thought for a long time, and came to Ye Chen's room in person to knock on the door.

He called lightly: "Mr. Ye, I am the mayor of Houcun Town......

Wei Tao opened the door and turned sideways slightly.

"Mr. Ye."

Ye Chen, who was playing with the black cat statue, saw the mayor of Houcun Town coming, and said with a light smile: "The mayor is here, let's see how my new gadgets are today." ”

The mayor of Houcun Town knew that Ye Chen was giving him a problem, so he caught it with both hands, and he was heavy.

"This black cat is lifelike, lifelike......"

To get the black cat back, Ye Chen put it in the box.

"Mr. Ye, I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter."

Ye Chen waved his hand and asked Hao Tong to take away the antiques he had received, then turned around and handed the mayor a cigarette, "The antique trade is just for fun, and buying and selling is also something you and I are willing to do."

Relax and don't worry too much about unpleasant things. Let's get down to business first. ”

With that, the two walked out of the room together on their shoulders and went straight to the banquet hall.

At this time, the mining cadres who had been waiting for a long time stood up to greet them.

The mayor's secretary called the waiter to deliver the food.

On the table, the mayor of Houcun Town raised his glass to Ye Chen, "Thank you Mr. Ye for coming to Houcun Town for your hard work to give advice to the villagers, otherwise the people of our town will have to have another year of tightening their belts this year." ”

Ye Chen raised his glass and saluted, "I just became the section chief of the third section of the county's investment promotion bureau with one thought, and I ran errands for the big guy as a businessman to earn some hard-earned money." ”

"Mr. Ye is too modest. Come, this glass of wine, our big guys will salute Mr. Ye together. ”

Everyone raised their glasses and drank together.

After three rounds of drinking, the mayor asked the cadres in the mine to take out the documents and hand them to Ye Chen.

"This is the information of the mining in the town, one is that it can't be dug and the output is low. A digging move, high yield. ”

Ye Chen glanced at the information and said with a smile: "What is the price of gold in this market now?" ”

The cadre in charge of the gold mine cautiously replied: "The current price of gold in the market is 30-40 yuan per gram. ”

"It's enough for a working family and a month's salary."

"Isn't it? Our Houcun Town guards a golden bump, but we can only watch it, greedy. ”

Ye Chen said again: "Then what is the price of coal now?" ”

"The wholesale price of coal from the mine is 6 yuan a ton, and the coal price from the mine is 8-10 yuan a ton at the retail price."

After a silent calculation in his heart, Ye Chen put down the document in his hand and took a wine glass.

"How much coal is in stock?"

"There are 80 tons of finished products, and if you need to increase production, you can still produce 15 tons by the end of the month."

Ye Chen patted the mining cadre's shoulder, "Go back and prepare." ”

The mayor saw that the matter of the coal plant was negotiated, and immediately got up and poured wine for Ye Chen again, "Thank you Mr. Ye for your great help, if the coal billet sells well this time, you can buy shares in the coal yard, and we will make money together." ”

"Mayor Mare, that's not good."

"As long as you can solve the livelihood problem of tens of thousands of people in the town, not to mention that you can take a stake in this coal plant, even the gold mine."

Ye Chen said solemnly: "But I like to do business more and more and more, I want to take a 10% stake in the coal factory, and I have full authority to operate the gold mine." ”

The mayor of the town, holding a wine glass, took a glass and motioned to the secretary to go and get the information and related procedures of the gold mine.

"Mr. Ye, today you took my gold mine, and from then on, you will be a township entrepreneur in our Houcun Township. This supports the construction of your hometown, and you have an unshirkable responsibility. ”

Seeing that the mayor of the town used the gold mine to pinch himself, Ye Chen also took the initiative to show goodwill, picking up the wine bottle and pouring wine one by one.

"Thanks to the mayor of the town, I accepted this gift."

Hao Tong took the document in the secretary's hand, and Ye Chen happily hugged the mayor.
