At noon while waiting for the auction to start.

Lily opened a hotel room and asked Mu Tianming to come over.

The two enjoyed the scenery of the River Thames together in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows

Afternoon.

Take advantage of the time when the auction is held.

Mu Tianming contacted some European material suppliers and began to purchase on a large scale.

The first was to find a German steel supplier that specializes in M390 powder super steel. This steel is called Kobelco, and M390 is manufactured using the third-generation PM process, which is a steel specially developed for blades with high hardness, high corrosion resistance, and high wear resistance. This kind of steel has a very high hardness and good toughness, and is said to be the most suitable all-round steel for high-end tools.

On the shopping website, a small M390 powder steel kitchen knife costs 2,300 yuan. It can be seen that its steel is excellent.

This steel dagger can be used to sharpen iron, and can cut out pieces of iron filings.

The factory, located on the border between Germany and Austria, specializes in the production of high-end steel.

Mu Tianming took a plane and flew to the location of the factory on the German-Austrian border.

"Mu, according to your requirements, we have prepared five kinds of high-tech special steels, each 100 tons, M390 steel is sold for 60,000 pounds per ton, and others such as AUS-8, 440C, and CPM-T440V, which are super knife steels, these are all around 50,000 to 80,000 pounds. These are the best alloy steels in the world right now. And you want Uzi steel, which is prepared for a thousand tons. ”

The German boss introduced to Mu Tianming.

Mu Tianming noticed that the factory was close to the Adriatic Sea, not far from the dock, where many ships were parked.

The steel mill has the skeleton of a giant ship, which appears to be being disassembled.

After inquiry, I learned that this is a retired aircraft carrier that came back from the United States, and it is currently being dismantled here.

A total of 60,000 tons of special steel for the dismantled aircraft carrier were stored in several warehouses of the steel mill.

Mu Tianming narrowed his eyes, it was the steel dismantled by the aircraft carrier of the United States.

"How much do these aircraft carrier steels cost?" Mu Tianming asked.

"This steel is not for sale, and the military will recycle it to build a new aircraft carrier," said the German boss, "and we've been busy here lately, because a World War II underground warehouse has just been excavated nearby, just below my factory address, and I'm dealing with it." ”

Mu Tianming didn't ask any more, but just noticed that there were no surveillance cameras in these warehouses.

If he also had the chance, he wouldn't mind putting the aircraft carrier special steel from several warehouses into his carry-on space.

Why buy high-end steel? Mu Tianming has his own plans, because if he returns to the ancient world, this modern super alloy steel is undoubtedly "divine iron", and the sword created can be "sharpened like clay". In that ancient world, according to Mu Tianming's understanding, the smelting of iron tools was not developed and was still in its infancy. The iron swords there are completely incomparable to the swords made of high-tech steel today.

Moreover, the most important thing is that in the "Secret Book of Puppets of the Organs", there seems to be a record of the methods of ancient puppets, and some good steel is used to build a puppet army.

The time was six o'clock in the afternoon.

Mu Tianming received a call from Christie's.

The auction was completed there, with 13 imperial green cards auctioned for a total of 71.5 million pounds, 1 imperial green necklace sold for 28.2 million pounds, plus 2 jade wrenches, 2 hairpins, 1 imperial green pigeon egg, and 3 blue and white porcelain vases, for a total of 141 million pounds.

After deducting 17% commission and tax, this is £23.8 million.

The £117.2 million auction proceeds were remitted to Mu Tianming's account.

Mu Tianming didn't expect that he would one day become a billionaire in this way.

After having money, Mu Tianming was more confident in wandering around the German steel factory. I looked at several special steels, and by the way, I also asked to open the warehouse where the aircraft carrier steel was stored and go in to have a look.

Mu Tianming paid cash to the owner of the German steel mill to buy five kinds of special steel, each 100 tons, and asked for a discount on the total price, which was 30 million pounds in total.

Ask the boss to transport it to a warehouse in the suburbs.

Mu Tianming arrived at the warehouse in the middle of the night and put the newly purchased 500 tons of special alloy steel into his carry-on space.

At this time, there are still 60 large containers in the carry-on space.

In each container, there are 100 tons of aircraft carrier steel.

This total of 6,000 tons of aircraft carrier steel was collected, which is one-tenth of the 60,000 tons of aircraft carrier steel.

This is what Mu Tianming put into his personal space by the way when he visited the warehouse of the factory just now.

The German boss could not have imagined that in the warehouse where the aircraft carrier steel was stored, except for a few large containers in the front row, the back ones had been emptied.

That night, Mu Tianming rested at a local hotel and contacted the suppliers of other supplies by the way.

Sea salt, white sugar, instant noodles, military compressed biscuits, instant milk tea, coffee, wagyu beef, books, coal, etc.

There is also £87.2 million left in the card balance.

This money is used to buy these cheap supplies, and you can buy a lot.

Take white sugar, for example, 500 pounds a ton, 1,000 tons only 500,000 pounds. And this snow-white white sugar was a scarce item that only the nobles could afford in the ancient world. Mu Tianming ordered 30,000 tons.

Buy more and put it in your carry-on space, and sell it over there, and you'll get a good price difference.

It's the same with sea salt, which costs £400 a tonne, £400,000 for a thousand tonnes, and £4 million for 10,000 tonnes. Mu Tianming ordered 50,000 tons. By the way, the essence of chicken also came with 10,000 tons.

A local supplier of Thai jasmine rice was contacted at a price of £600 a tonne and £6 million for 10,000 tonnes. There happened to be 30,000 tons to be exported to South America, which was cut off by Mu Tianming.

Anthracite washed coal is priced at £150 per tonne and £1.5 million for 10,000 tonnes. This one was ordered for 100,000 tons.

Let the supplier deliver the goods to the nearest temporary warehouse.

Mu Tianming will rush to collect all the supplies into the carry-on space before the countdown is over.

As for firearms, I bought a German-made G36 fully automatic rifle, and the result was that "it is not compatible with the background of the era and cannot be stored"

As for industrial sterling silver, Mu Tianming has also considered it, and the cost performance is not high. The high quality is almost 5,000 yuan a catty. And 5,000 yuan can buy nearly 2 tons of sea salt. 2 tons of sea salt can be sold for 800 taels of silver when brought back. Calculated together, the profit of sea salt alone is dozens of times that of sterling silver.

……

Before the countdown ended, Mu Tianming returned to London, bought an apartment on the 22nd floor with the last remaining 3 million pounds, and after changing the locks, he lay down on the bed in the house.

As the countdown ended, darkness fell back in front of me.

When I opened my eyes again, I was greeted by the antique interior of the room.

He was back in the ancient world.

In his hand, he still holds the [Space Bead] that allows him to travel back to the modern era, but the light of the bead has dimmed.

Mu Tianming didn't know for the time being, could this thing only be used once, or could it be traversed again when the light came on next time?

However, even if he can cross, Mu Tianming does not have much desire to return to the modern world, because he is a fatherless and motherless person in the modern world, and his parents went to the snowy mountains for scientific research a few years ago, and never came back when they encountered an avalanche.

He has only one sister in the real world, and the relationship between the two is not very close, so that this time he "returned" and did not go to see her.

In this ancient world, although the productive forces were underdeveloped, there were records of "cultivating immortals" in books.

Mu Tianming planned to cultivate here, and after standing on his heels, he went all out to search for clues about "cultivating immortals".

A few days after returning from the real world.

Mu Tianming didn't go anywhere, but stayed in the courtyard to read, drink tea when he was thirsty, fry a few steaks to eat when he was hungry, and boil some top-quality Panama Geisha coffee beans to drink when he was sleepy and tired. Qiu Fu had never seen coffee beans, so she took a sip curiously and rolled her eyes on the spot.

These supplies are procured from the modern world, and they are piled up in the personal space.

In addition to reading books, he also went to Hengshan City, Lincheng, and carried out private salt trading activities.

The Dali Dynasty forbade the private sale of salt and monopolized the right to operate salt. The official went to the salt factory by the sea to collect salt, and the price was 5 wen yuan a catty, and it cost 70 wen yuan a catty to sell it to the people.

Salt generates a lot of income for the dynasty every year.

Mu Tianming doesn't care about this, he has [Yi Rong Dan] and a portable space, which is a natural condition for selling illicit salt.

In his personal space, there are a total of 50,000 tons of sea salt purchased from the real world, if he doesn't sell it, how can he eat it all? Unless it's the cultivation realm of this world, the practice requires the consumption of table salt for energy?

The sea salt produced by his modern technology is as white as snowflakes, and it looks very exquisite, and it is planned to sell for 30 wen in a pack and a half catties.
