After making a wish, financial freedom

Chapter 602 The Next Mission

The house number of this villa is S18, and the price is cheaper than that of the building king. This is good, because he can save money to continue buying commercial real estate.

After buying this villa, Zhou Ge moved in with his parents.

This house couldn't work without a nanny, so Li Zhuo hired two more nannies, a chef, and a gardener, and then handed over all the cleaning work of the villa to the property management company.

After arranging things here, Li Zhuo flew to Shanghai to see Xiaobai.

She is in good condition, and Li Zhuo feels more at ease because she has a professional team following her.

Before going to bed at night, Li Zhuo would lie on her belly and listen to the sounds. He could feel the child kicking her belly occasionally.

The feeling of having a child is really different. Although he is happy, he is also afraid that he will overwhelm the child by sleeping, so he always sleeps in separate rooms.

After staying here for about ten days, he flew back to Hangzhou. After returning to the Sunshine Coast, he used the incense burner again.

After the cigarette was absorbed, the Yin-Yang Fish once again broke the rules of time and space in mid-air. After tearing open the crack, Li Zhuo walked in.

The Middle East in 1517 AD.

The famous city of Mecca.

Li Zhuo appeared in a magnificently decorated mansion.

This is a merchant's home. The walls are carved with murals depicting navigation and trade. Date palm trees, camels, and spices are clearly visible.

Li Zhuo looked down and saw a fat, middle-aged Arab businessman wearing a white robe and a white cloth on his head, kneeling down to pray to him.

When he saw Li Zhuo suddenly appearing, he was very excited and said immediately:

"Dear Archangel, thank you for coming. My name is Ibrahim Al-Bakus. I am a businessman from Samarkand. I moved to Mecca when I was 17 years old. I rely on my mind and hands to In business, I thank God for His gift. In the past 10 years, I have become rich by relying on maritime trade with East Africa. I am a devout believer and serve God wholeheartedly..."

The Arabs in the Middle Ages were very good at trade. They conducted vigorous trade with East Asia, South Asia, Southern Europe, North Africa, and Eastern Europe, and made a lot of money.

Li Zhuo said:

"I am not an angel, I am a trading god. I am not interested in your beliefs. I only do trading."

Ibrahim was not surprised after hearing this. He had obviously seen that Li Zhuo was not the archangel in their religion.

As a qualified businessman, for Ibrahim, faith is sometimes optional.

He was also very adaptable to this trading method. He paused and said quickly:
"Lord Trading God, I am honored to meet you. I want to make a deal with you. I hope you are interested. You know that Ottoman Turkey has now become a world-famous empire, and its territory continues to expand."

“The current Sultan Selim I successively occupied Tabriz, the capital of the Persians, and incorporated the principalities of Anatolian Kurds and Turkmen into the empire. Then he conducted four Egyptian wars, and finally this year He defeated the Mamluk dynasty’s army in Egypt, captured Cairo, and incorporated Egypt, Syria, West Jazi, and Palestine into his territory. He has now become the supreme leader of the entire religious sect.”

"In the holy city of Mecca where I live, there is a hereditary messenger of God, Lord Sharif. He is respected in the Islamic world and is also preparing to go to Cairo to present the key to the holy city to Sultan Selim I as a sign of obedience."

"His Majesty Sharif has ordered that the imams of all mosques in Mecca and Medina should add prayers and blessings for Sultan Selim I in the 'Khutubah' held on Friday, and call him As 'Master of the Two Lands', 'Servant of the Two Holy Lands', 'Sultan of the Two Seas'."

The so-called two places refer to the two places in Asia and Europe conquered by the Ottoman Turks.

The two seas refer to the Mediterranean Sea and the Indian Ocean.

The Two Holy Lands refer to Mecca and Medina. Calling them servants refers to the servants of God. Being able to serve as the servants of God is recognition and respect of their status.

Then, Ibrahim rubbed his hands and said:

"I heard that the Sultan Emperor himself was impatient and demanding of others. Sir Sharif was a little worried before setting off. He was worried that the Sultan Emperor would be angry with him for his late arrival and would not give him the title and key early." Historically, Sultan Selim I was definitely a ruthless man. It is no problem to describe him as ruthless and murderous.

Not to mention that he killed his prime minister just because of a joke, but when he chose his successor, he finally selected Suleiman as the crown prince. Suleiman was an outstanding monarch who brought the Ottoman Empire into its heyday. Then, Seli In order to clear the way for him, Mu I executed all his remaining 20 sons.

How could such an emperor not be feared?

Ibrahim then said:
"Therefore, Sir Sharif wanted to make a scepter that symbolizes nobility and royal authority and gave it to Selim I. You know, the most precious scepter material is the horn of a unicorn. The Habsburg Dynasty in Europe , the British dynasty all have such a long-horned scepter, which is priceless. You know, legend has it that this kind of unicorn comes from the East and is very rare."

"Master Sharif is looking to buy such a unicorn horn, and the reward he is offering is a lot of money. That's fine. I actually don't care about his reward. What I need is his protection. I'm sure that even if other businessmen Even with his vast magical powers, it would be difficult to come up with such a long horn in a short period of time.”

"Lord God of Trading, my wish is very simple. I just want to find a unicorn horn and donate it to Lord Sharif. Can you fulfill my wish? I am willing to pay for it with a piece of unicorn horn from India that I have specially collected. treasure."

Li Zhuo understood. Finding a unicorn horn seemed a bit illusory.

However, there are rumors that the scepter is made from the horn of a unicorn. In fact, it is the horn on the head of a narwhal. This thing is not uncommon in modern society, and the price is not expensive.

Li Zhuo said:

"What is the treasure you are talking about?"

"It is a little bird made of pure gold and inlaid with various gems. It comes from an ancient princely family in northern India. Believe me, you will definitely like it." Ibrahim said.

Li Zhuo was very satisfied after hearing this and said:

“Then, Ibrahim, I will come again soon, prepare this golden bird.”

"Yes, Lord Trading God, I am waiting for you at any time." Ibrahim was very respectful.

Li Zhuo returned to the real world in an instant. He searched online and confirmed that the unicorn scepters of the British and Austrian royal families were indeed the horns on the heads of narwhals.

No problem, there are currently more than 2 narwhals, and most of them live in the Arctic.

Under normal circumstances, it cannot be captured, but there are Eskimos living in the Alaski area. These people have whale hunting quotas every year, so the horns of narwhals can be legally traded.

Li Zhuo called Zheng Kun and asked him to buy a narwhal horn for him as soon as possible. It required a length of more than 1.2 meters, a weight of more than 4 kilograms, and high quality.

Although Zheng Kun is a little confused, he has strong execution ability.

He quickly contacted a company in Bangkok that specializes in the processing and sales of mammoth ivory, rhino horn, walrus ivory and other horn products.

After asking, I learned that his family has more than 100 narwhal horns. He also said that if needed, they can contact other businesses and they can get a few hundred horns together in a short time.

As for the price, it is also very cheap. A small narwhal with a long horn costs 20 baht, a narwhal with a horn over 1 meter costs 40 baht, and a narwhal with a horn over 1.5 meters costs only 80 baht, which is converted into... The RMB is only 16 yuan.

Zheng Kun called Li Zhuo, and Li Zhuo flew to Bangkok that day.

Zheng Kun accompanied him to the company and picked a narwhal horn with a length of 1.52 meters and a weight of 5.5 kilograms. The quality was good. Li Zhuo was very satisfied and paid 100 million baht to buy it.

Zheng Kun thought it was fun, so he chose two and paid to take them away.

Li Zhuo took this item back to the Mandarin Oriental Apartment.

He was usually alone here and no one disturbed him, so that night he returned to the holy city of Mecca in 1517.
