After making a wish, financial freedom

Chapter 543 The Golden Turtle Stupa and the Sands
The next morning, when Li Zhuo woke up, he felt a pain in his back.

This was caught unconsciously by Ruan Yuzhu who was too excited last night.

Li Zhuo has a strong physique, he went to bed late last night, and has slept for about five hours in total, which is enough for him.

But Ruan Yuzhu couldn't do it, she was obviously more tired, and now she was leaning on Li Zhuo's arms, sleeping deeply.

Li Zhuo turned his head and glanced at her, then got up carefully.

But she still woke up, mainly because her head was resting on Li Zhuo's arm, and it was difficult not to disturb her.

Ruan Yuzhu was sleepy and asked him in a daze:
"Honey, do you want to get up?"

"Yes, I have something to do later, I need to get busy."

Ruan Yuzhu gave an "en" and said, "Thanks for your hard work!"

Then she turned sideways, revealing her fair neck and smooth and clean face.

She stretched out her snow-white arms to hug her, Li Zhuo hugged her, then kissed her red lips, and said to her:

"Honey, go back to sleep."

"En." She closed her eyes obediently.

After coming out of the master bedroom, Li Zhuo soon arrived at the Wyndham Hotel.

The crew had already obtained the flight permission to Bangkok. After Li Zhuo arrived, he went to the hotel's attached restaurant for breakfast before following the crew to the airport.

An hour and ten minutes later, a Gulfstream G55 landed at Don Mueang International Airport in Bangkok.

After coming out of the airport, Li Zhuo called Zheng Kun and asked him to meet.

Less than 10 minutes after Li Zhuo returned to the Mandarin Oriental Apartment, Zheng Kun also hurried over.

Li Zhuo opened the door and invited him in, then locked the door.

After taking him to the living room, he then went to the bedroom and took out a golden turtle utensil.

Zheng Kun looked very surprised when he saw it, and said:

"Where did you get the stupa? It's very expensive."

Li Zhuo explained:
"Received from the Philippines, just out of the water."

After Zheng Kun looked at it carefully, he said:

"This thing is called the golden tortoise stupa. It looks Japanese in style. I don't know why it was discovered in the Philippines. It is a relic pot full of relics. It has a unique shape. The small golden tortoise is the base, and the tortoise shell bears a golden lotus. On the throne are the body of the tower and the eaves of the tower, and the body of the tower is hollowed out, with mandala flowers carved on it."

"In the middle is a lotus throne with a glass bottle inside. This bottle is the place where the relics are kept."

"However, there is no relic in this artifact. If there is a relic of an eminent monk, its value may be incalculable."

"This style looks very delicate, but it was actually cast in Japan by referring to the style of the stupa in the Tang Dynasty. The pagoda with the golden turtle on its back is because the Tantric teaching believes that the golden turtle is the support of the world."

"This style of utensils should be from the Kamakura period in Japan. The style is very close to a Japanese national treasure, the golden tortoise stupa hidden in Toshodaiji Temple in Nara. That piece was brought to Japan by Master Jianzhen from the Tang Dynasty. Yes, this one of yours is suspected to be a copy from the Kamakura period, because there are records of copying at that time..."

Li Zhuo understood, and asked:
"So, is this stupa worth something?"

"It's worth money, of course it's worth money. After all, it's very old, at least 800 years ago. Moreover, it's very delicate. You can tell by looking at the work that the workmanship is extraordinary, and it's still gilded. If you bring the original, it's National treasures are not for sale, this replica is not a national treasure, but it is also very valuable." Zheng Kun replied.

Li Zhuo agreed, and then went back to the bedroom.

This time he took out a leather bag, filled it full, and put it in front of Zheng Kun.

Zheng Kun opened it curiously, took a look, and said with a smile:

"It's actually placer gold? Yes, it's golden. It feels like it has a high gold content."

He picked up the leather bag, weighed it, and then said:
"It's about 30 kilograms. If you refine it, you can sell it for a lot of money."

Li Zhuo asked:

"Isn't this from the river?"

"Yes, you remember the western gold rush in the United States in the middle of the 19th century? In fact, those gold diggers panned out this thing from the river beach, and it needs to be purified later. This thing contains gold, called placer gold."

"Do I remember alluvial gold from Vietnam? I seem to hear it often." Li Zhuo asked.

"Oh, that's different. Vietnam's alluvial gold is actually a scam. It's copper, and there's no gold in it. They call it alluvial gold, which is misleading. It's used to cheat money. The real alluvial gold is alluvial gold, like Vietnamese alluvial gold and Nordic gold. , there is no gold content in it." Zheng Kun explained.

Li Zhuo nodded and asked:
"Does this placer gold need to be purified? How much does it cost?"

Zheng Kun waved his hand and said:
"Need, but I have contacted a master who specializes in this before, so you don't need to worry about it, I will take care of it later."

He found the electronic scale Li Zhuo kept at home and put it on it. After looking at it, he said:
"It's 18.1 kilograms in total, which is about that much. I'll find an instrument to measure the approximate gold content in a while, and I'll know how much gold can be purified in the end."

He quickly packed the golden tortoise stupa in his backpack, and Li Zhuo also packed the alluvial gold bag and transported it down together.

Zheng Kun then left. After more than half an hour, he called Li Zhuo:

"Brother Zhuo, the total weight of alluvial gold is 18.12 kilograms, and the gold content is 40%, so the estimated total amount of purified gold is 7248 grams. However, there will inevitably be losses in the process. Almost 7200 grams of pure gold is considered normal. According to gold The current purchase price is 426-430 yuan per gram, and the estimated value is in the early 300 million yuan."

The current gram price of gold is 449 yuan per gram, but it is definitely impossible to pay such a high price for purchase, and gold shops have to make money.

Li Zhuo said:

"Very good. Thank you for your hard work. This batch of gold can be sold normally. The key is how to deal with the golden tortoise stupa."

Zheng Kunen let out a cry and said:

"Don't worry, Brother Zhuo, I just contacted a knowledgeable master to come over and appraise it. If there are no problems, I will contact the collector. Many collectors are interested in this kind of Buddhist treasure, so don't worry about selling it."

Li Zhuo was relieved, he just had to wait for the follow-up news.

After giving the things to Zheng Kun, Li Zhuo was free.

He then went to the Siam Paragon next to the Mandarin Oriental Apartment and went shopping.

He bought a few good-looking bags at the Chanel store, and then went to the Blancpain watch store and bought a 3650A from the Blancpain Moon Beauty series. This is a white model, the watch is very beautiful, and the price is 120 Ten thousand baht, equivalent to 24 RMB.

Later, I bought another Blancpain 6106 at a price of 46 baht, equivalent to 9.2 yuan.

Blancpain's Moon Beauty series is quite beautiful, a typical high-value watch.

After buying things, Li Zhuo took his watch and waited, and boarded a private plane to fly to Da Nang, Vietnam.

After going back and forth, when it was just dark, Li Zhuo returned to his villa in Da Nang.

At this time, Ruan Yuzhu didn't realize that he said that he had something to do and went abroad directly. He didn't realize it until he took out the Chanel bag and the watch he gave her.

This moved Ruan Yuzhu so much, she said a little excitedly:

"My God, did you fly to Bangkok to buy me a gift? You really bothered me, so touched."

Li Zhuo originally wanted to explain something, but seeing her happy and excited, and still clinging to him, he swallowed the words, finally nodded and said:

"Exactly. I bought you a bag and a Blancpain women's watch. I also bought your mother a Blancpain watch, but it's still a little worse than yours."

Ruan Yuzhu was a little amused and asked:

"Honey, how much did you pay for it?"

"Chanel's bag cost a total of 4 million VND, your watch cost 8 million VND, and mom's watch cost more than 3 million, not much."

Ruan Yuzhu hugged him and said with a smile:
"This is not much, this is a lot of money. Thank you so much, my dear, for going out and buying me such an expensive thing, and for remembering my mother. Thank you, I love you..."
