From the gate of heaven

Chapter 33 [Huge profits exceeding 54 times profits]

Seeing the five gems that Lin Ze took out, Yu Qing, the shopkeeper of the pawnshop, widened his eyes.

The Great Zhou Dynasty was not without gemstones, but due to technical issues, there was no such thing as polished gemstones.

After getting Lin Ze's permission, Yu Qing began to identify the five gems.

In addition to being man-made and low in cost, man-made gemstones are no different from natural gemstones in real terms. Even though Yu Qing tried his best, he didn't find any flaws.

On the contrary, as the appraisal progressed, Yu Qing developed a strong desire to possess these five gems.

"A top-level gemstone is worth at least ten thousand taels of silver. What's more rare is that it has a full range of colors. The value is even more precious than a single gemstone. If these multicolored gemstones are sold, they will cost at least seventy-eight thousand taels of silver."

Yu Qing stared at the five gems and commented.

After a long while, Yu Qing reluctantly looked away from the gemstone.

"pity."

Yu Qing glanced at Lin Ze, secretly thinking it was a pity.

If an unknown poor boy took out such treasures as a pawn, he would probably ask his men to kill people to seize the treasure. After that, he would throw the body into the wilderness, and he would get the expensive multicolored gemstones.

But it is a pity that in front of him is Lin Ze, the first-class master of Fengping County, who is known as the thunderbolt son.

In addition to his own high martial arts skills, he is now the magistrate's guest, an existence he cannot afford to provoke.

No matter how many thoughts he has, he must be honest.

"How many taels of silver can this five-color gemstone be worth in your shop?"

Lin Ze looked at Yu Qing like this, and asked.

He can probably guess what Yu Qing is thinking, and he has seen a lot of occasional guest robbers in pawnshops through the perspective of drones in the past few years.

It is precisely because he knows what these pawnshops are like, that he didn't just come to pick wool with things like artificial gemstones and glass beads when he just learned the language and characters of the Great Zhou Dynasty two and a half years ago. It would really be life-threatening.

If you want to make this money, you need to have the ability to protect yourself.

"If it's a living pawn, I can give you 5 taels of silver, and if it's a dead pawn, it's 8 taels."

Yu Qing looked at Lin Ze and spoke seriously.

He was expressing his desire to buy the gems directly.

For Lin Ze, these artificial gemstones are just some worthless stones.

But for Yu Qing, this is a genuine treasure, so he is willing to pay a high price for it.

"This is my family heirloom, how can it be easily killed."

Lin Ze spoke calmly.

The implication is that you can die, but you need to pay more.

Yu Qing understood Lin Ze's implication.

"10 million taels."

The shopkeeper gritted his teeth and shouted out the price of his psychological bottom line.

He really likes this multicolored gemstone. After buying it, he can play with it for a while, and then he can look for opportunities to sell it at a higher price to make a profit.

So anyway, he wants to buy it.

"Since the shopkeeper loves this five-colored gemstone so much, I can only make a decision that violates the precepts of the ancestors and reluctantly part with it."

For the first time since Lin Ze entered the store, a smile appeared on his face.

He raised his hand and pushed the multicolored gems in the brocade bag in front of him, approaching Yu Qing.

"That's 10 taels."

Looking at the gemstone pushed in front of him, Yu Qing sobered up a lot from the frenzy of encountering the gemstone, and began to feel sorry for the silver tael that was about to be paid.

However, after taking a look at the mild-looking young man who was actually stronger than the tiger sitting opposite him, he could only hold back the greed in his heart and pay the purchase price honestly.

"Young master Lin, wait a moment, I'll write the pawn."

Yu Qing didn't go directly to get the gems, but said this.

"Good to say."

Lin Ze smiled warmly.

The multicolored gems costing 388 yuan, equivalent to one and a half silver, sold for a high price of 10 taels.

It can be said that the net profit is 99998 taels, which is a profit rate of more than 6 times.

And if these silvers were exchanged for gold, it would be almost 1 taels of gold.

According to the current gold price of 420 yuan per gram in the main world, the total value of these golds is 2.1 million yuan. Compared with the cost of 388 yuan, that is more than 54 times the profit.

Facing the big fat sheep, whose smile is not warm.

The only regret is that this kind of business cannot be done often.

Otherwise, if the gems are sold too much, this 2 taels of silver gem can be turned into a cabbage price.

"Mr. Lin, it's inconvenient to transport the 10 taels of silver, how about changing it to the bank notes of Dazhong Bank?"

Yu Qing, the treasurer of the honest pawnshop, wrote the pawn ticket, stating that Lin Ze would pawn the colorful gems to the honest pawnshop, and signed and pledged to announce the conclusion of the deal.

However, when making the payment, Yu Qing asked Lin Ze for his opinion.

Dazhong Bank is a very famous bank in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty. It was jointly founded by the merchant alliance in the southeast coastal area of ​​the entire Great Zhou Dynasty. Its headquarters is located in the county town of Qingyu County where Fengping County is located.

10 taels of silver is a full [-] catties, weighing five tons.

But if it is exchanged for bank notes, even if it is a large-denomination bank note of 1000 taels, there are only a few stacks, which is easy to carry.

"No, I want cash. Give me 1 taels of silver in cash, and the remaining 9 taels of silver will be exchanged for the corresponding amount of gold."

Lin Ze shook his head and refused.

In the transaction of this precious stone, it is indeed convenient to use silver notes.

But a silver ticket is meaningless to him.

His two-world transactions need real precious metals to grab profits, and use the resources of the two worlds to grow himself. The main world does not recognize the banknotes of this other world.

In addition, ordinary traders do not recognize bank notes, they only recognize cash.

This world does have valuable bills such as silver bills and gold bills, but after all, these things are made by a group of businessmen, unlike paper money in the main world, which has national credit endorsement and is recognized by everyone.

"Okay, Mr. Lin, you stay here for a while, this old man is going to raise gold and silver."

Yu Qing nodded.

Ask Lin Ze to put away the five gems first, and ask the buddy to meet all Lin Ze's needs.

Then go out and prepare gold and silver.

The specific method is to exchange the gold and silver bills they have stored in Dazhong Bank into cash and bring them back to Lin Ze.

It takes a short amount of time to complete this process.

Lin Ze didn't mean to wait.

"Dude, go and call the people from the tooth shop, I have something to do."

Lin Ze turned his gaze to the guy standing beside him, and ordered.

"Good Mr. Lin."

"Small and strong, I'm going to call someone for you."

With a humble smile, the guy said flatteringly.

"Okay, Da Zhuang, go and come back quickly."

Lin Ze nodded, and threw a small string of fifty copper coins to the guy as a reward.

Immediately, the guy went out quickly.
