Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 572 Return to Stromgarde

Since he didn't understand the language, Chu Xiangqian could only draw and draw, and finally had a brief communication with gestures.

Unfortunately, although the meeting went smoothly, communication was not smooth due to language issues.

But Chu Xiangqian still took over the business of ordering spirits from the dwarf.

And in order to make it clear, these dwarves actually moved out more than a dozen barrels of ale.

Point to one bucket and draw a symbol on the ground, then point to the second bucket and draw another symbol.

Chu Xiangqian quickly understood that this should be 1 and 2 in the dwarf language.

Then came the numbers 10 and , and Chu Xiangqian also understood that these dwarves actually wanted to buy hundreds of barrels of liquor.

But seeing these guys handing out a hundred gold coins, Chu Xiangqian instantly felt that this business could be done.

After holding the gold coin in his hand and weighing it for a few times, Chu Xiangqian guessed that one gold coin weighed approximately 10 grams.

Then after careful calculation, I suddenly found that although these 100 gold coins are equal to 1 kilogram.

But in fact, it's only worth $1125.

Selling a hundred barrels of liquor to dwarves would make little money.

Besides, a barrel can weigh at least thirty or fifty kilograms. If this kind of cross-border business does not make three to five times the profit, it will be equal to a loss.

So Chu hurriedly waved his hand forward, and then pointed at the dwarf who was brought into the town before and the glass bottle he had been holding in his hand.

He indicated that such a bottle would cost 1 gold coin.

Unexpectedly, the dozen or so dwarves agreed without a long argument.

Chu Xiangqian immediately realized that glass bottles should be very valuable in this world.

But for me, the glass bottles are only included, and when the quantity increases, the value on the dwarf side will plummet.

For one bottle and one gold coin, this business will not disgrace the time traveler.

A bottle of Fenjiu wine only costs two and a half yuan, and Erguotou is even cheaper.

One hundred bottles may only cost one or two hundred yuan.

There are dozens of times the profit here.

After that, Chu Xiangqian relied on his super memory and learning ability to actually learn some common dwarf languages.

At least words like wine, ale, and spirits have been learned long ago during the communication.
-

Back in the hotel in the real world, Chu Qianqian opened a bottle of whiskey and thought about it for a while.

After confirming that there was no danger in the New World for the time being, I drank the whole bottle of whiskey in one gulp and simply went to bed and closed my eyes to sleep.

At around 9 a.m. the next day, Chu Qianqian woke up and took a bath in the fountain of Novice Village.

After getting dressed, we got in the car provided by the hotel and went to the villa on Kensington Garden Street.

Butler Hawkins felt a little uneasy when Chu Qianqian returned to London and didn't even call to notify him, let alone pick him up at the airport.

He was afraid that Chu Xiangqian was dissatisfied with himself and would resign him.

Seeing this, Chu Xiangqian waved his hands with a smile, but to be honest, he bought this house on Huayuan Street and said it was his own home, but in fact he didn't live here even for a month every year.

However, although Butler Hawkins is old, he not only takes care of the Garden Street in an orderly manner, but also takes care of the pastures in the suburbs.

Chu Xiangqian had long treated him as a professional manager.

Before 11 noon, Chu Qianqian, who was listening to Butler Hawkins' report on the ranch, suddenly heard his ears twitch.

There was a sound of brakes coming from outside the house. It seemed that Margaret had heard the news of her return and rushed over.

Sure enough, not long after, the sound of high-heeled footsteps reached the study from far to near.

They saw Margaret knocking on the door, then pushing open the study door and walking quickly towards Chu Qianqian with an expression of surprise on her face.

Upon seeing this, Butler Hawkins shook his head helplessly, bowed forward to Chu and slowly exited the study.

Not long after, bursts of singing and opera sounds came from the study.

At around 12 noon, Margaret, who was already tired and lay down, hugged Chu Qianqian tightly and simply lay on top of him.

After a while, Margaret recovered and asked with a smile, "Dear, didn't you say you were going to Tianzhu to discuss business? Why did you suddenly come to London?"

Chu Qianqian gently stroked Margaret's smooth back, but he was not worried at all that this girl would tell her about going to Tianzhu.

Moreover, Chu Xiangqian believed that as long as he mentioned the jewelry, all his thoughts on keeping this girl would be on the jewelry.

He smiled and said, "Not to mention that the business is settled, I also bought a few good things from a Tianzhu businessman. No, I can't help but want to give them to you as soon as possible. By the way, I really miss you."

Margaret knew immediately that the so-called good things must be jewelry.

He quickly stood up, pulled Chu forward and said, "Show me quickly."

Chu shrugged forward, smiled and stood up, walked to the suitcase he brought, took out a sapphire pendant necklace from the storage compartment.

And in order to prevent the necklace from being seen as an antique, Chu Xiangqian simply spent 1 gold coupon to polish the jewelry at the Novice Village jewelry store.

Looking at it now, although it is still a Tianzhu-style necklace, no one would think it was a temple treasure.

At the same time, it can also be refreshed through a jewelry store to remove all bacteria, viruses and other things on the jewelry.

When Margaret saw the sapphire as big as a pigeon egg, she first covered her mouth in surprise, and then couldn't help but scream. She threw herself into Chu Qianqian's arms and said coquettishly, "Honey, hurry up, put it on me." superior."

Chu Xiangqian smiled and walked up behind Margaret, put it on her fair neck with his own hands, then lowered his head and kissed the girl on the face.

Praising, "I just say, this sapphire necklace is the most suitable for you."

The smile on Margaret's face instantly became brighter, but to be honest, a sapphire the size of a pigeon egg would make a woman's blood boil with excitement.

How could she bother to blame Chu Xiangqian for not coming to London to accompany her for two months? Her attitude towards Chu Xiangqian was so gentle.

However, the girl turned around and ran to Buckingham Palace to show off to her sister and mother.

And within two days, the English media took photos of Margaret attending an event with this sapphire.

For a time, almost half of England was discussing who gave this sapphire to Margaret.

The insider naturally wouldn't say anything, but what Chu Xiangqian didn't expect was that he had just used a diamond necklace to comfort Nata.

This guy Philip took the initiative to come to the suburban ranch to complain to Chu Xiangqian.

After hearing this, Chu Xiangqian burst into laughter, then his heart moved and he whispered, "I have a friend who specializes in South Sea pearl business.

I have a lot of 12 and 14 mm white sea beads in my hands. "

After saying that, he asked Philips to wait for him for a while, then pretended to go back to the bedroom and filled two boxes with more than a dozen 12 or 14 mm South Sea white beads.

When I returned to the living room and showed it to Philips, the guy was really interested.

After handing the beads to the housekeeper and sending them to the royal family's consultant for inspection, Philips directly placed an order for 40 pounds, confirming that they were indeed top-grade white pearls from South Asia. This time, Chu Qianqian was a little surprised.

Philips smiled and said, "As long as your goods are fine, I should be able to make about 10% profit by selling them to a luxury goods company in England."

When Chu Qianqian saw what he said, he immediately guessed that the profit should be doubled.

Then the two of them talked about iron ore.

It has been almost four months since the last time it sold 36 tons of iron ore to Philips. Philips, who had tasted the benefits, had called Chu Xiangqian several times.

Chu's several delays had already made Philips think that he had found a new buyer.

Philips is so active not only because it can make a profit from the price difference, but also because the iron ore provided by Chu Xiangqian is indeed of higher quality than most iron ore on the market.

High iron content equals reduced smelting costs and increased competitiveness of steel plants.

The capital behind the steel plant, after reaping the benefits, naturally had a very positive attitude towards asking Philips for iron ore.

Philips pulled Chu Qianqian and said, "We are willing to purchase 1 tons of iron ore of the same quality for 36 million pounds. And we will pay for the freight ourselves."

Chu Qianqian shook his head, "I want US dollars."

Philips was stunned for a moment, and then he felt a little dissatisfied. Chu Xiangqian was not optimistic about the exchange rate of the pound, but in business, he had to make profits first.

And because Chu Xiangqian's wealth has expanded rapidly in the past year and a half, Philips had a vague feeling in his heart, had he converted some of his pounds into US dollars?

After all, Chu Xiangqian was a real success story, and it was difficult not to listen to his opinion.

"The price is fine, but do you really think the pound is going to go down?"

Chu shrugged forward, saying it now, Philips and Victoria might be angry, but when the pound exchange rate really drops, they will naturally be grateful to themselves.

Although the royal family represents the country, in fact, the royal family is also capital, and it is very realistic in many cases.

In the eyes of European and American capitalists, the Chinese family, state and world are basically unworkable.

"If we really discuss this matter, we can talk about it for three to five days. Moreover, all my previous business charges were in pounds. To be on the safe side, I naturally need to accept US dollars to reduce the risk."

Philip didn't believe what Chu Xiangqian said at all, but even though he knew that Chu Xiangqian was trying to save face for himself, he still nodded happily.

"You're right to think so. How about purchasing 4 tons of iron ore for US$36 million?"

Chu Xiangqian shook his head again, "I will try to get you a share of 72 tons. If you have money, we can all make money together, right?"

Philips was overjoyed and nodded hurriedly, "Yes, if you have money, let's make money together."

After negotiating a deal involving US$800 million, Philips was in a good mood.

While chatting, I drank too much without realizing it. I pulled Chu forward and muttered with a smile, "How about I take you out to play cards tonight and meet some friends and beautiful girls by the way?"

Chu Xiangqian wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he actually wanted to see how the so-called nobles played in private.

Unfortunately, before he could follow Philip out to fool around, not only did Margaret come back, but she also brought her sister with her.

During dinner that night, Chu Qianqian guessed from the chat that Victoria was envious of the sapphire Margaret had just obtained, so she followed her to test whether she still had the best jewelry in her hand.

As for Margaret, although she guessed her sister's thoughts, she still couldn't hold it back because she just wanted to show off.

When she heard Chu Qianqian say that top-quality jewelry takes time, Victoria inevitably became a little disappointed.

Fortunately, Philips had just concluded the iron ore business with Chu Xiangqian, and also added the South Sea Pearl business, so Victoria quickly adjusted her mood.

The next atmosphere seemed very harmonious.

Chu Xiangqian stayed in London for three days, but he couldn't bear the urging from Philip, so he simply took Margaret to the pasture in Magnesia.

He continued to help the Chicago Mafia and Pablo, transporting 1 million and 2 million in cash to Panama City.

But this time because of the increase in wheat prices, Chu Xiangqian only took away 30 tons of wheat.

Chu Xiangqian had nothing to do about it. He bought too much, and basically bought wheat from several states in the southern part of the country. The price would naturally rise.

Immediately, 72 tons of iron ore were placed in an open-air warehouse in the dock area.

Call Philips, this guy made money from the price difference, and he kept everything about Chu Xiangqian secret.

Not to mention someone investigating, Margaret said that an agent disappeared because he wanted to investigate the source of the iron ore.

It seems that for Philips, he doesn't care about the source of the iron ore.

As long as there is money to be made, the iron ore will go to the English steel companies.

Not to mention, to be honest, he is not from Yingguo.
-

Chu Qianqian, who returned to pasture in the small town of Solvang, also purchased tens of thousands of bottles of whiskey in glass bottles from wine merchants in Santa Barbara County.

And because Chu Xiangqian didn't pursue the brand, he just wanted the taste to be good, so these tens of thousands bottles of whiskey were naturally not expensive.

The total cost was less than $2.

At the same time, Chu Xiangqian called and asked Aiyuan to purchase tens of thousands of bottles of Erguotou from the mainland.

This is cheaper, and the shipping cost is only 2.4 Tianchao coins.

Then it was airlifted to the airport in Santa Barbara County. The freight alone was $2 more expensive than the total value of Erguotou.

But Chu Xiangqian didn't care and put 1 bottles of Erguotou and 1 bottles of whiskey into his personal storage compartment.

I found a deserted place and entered Novice Village.
-

These days, Chu Xiangqian brushes the Orc map and the Novice Village map every day, earning 7.24 experience points every day, and has been upgraded to level 4 in just 17 days.

The experience at this time has also reached level 17, 20.68/40.

It only takes 3 days to level up again.

The three-dimensional attribute is: Constitution 0.8+15.

Strength 1.1+3.8.

Agility 0.9+3.8.

Moreover, Red Rabbit and Titmouse have also been upgraded to level 17. Only Da Zhuang, Hong Niu, and Sing Mao who are not around have their levels unchanged.

After the red rabbit was upgraded, it naturally began to increase its agility, and its speed was obviously much faster.
-

After entering the Castle of Rapids, Chu Xiangqian had already taken more than twenty horses from Novice Village and fed them in the stables of Castle of Rapids.

In addition to sweat blood, pure blood, and Arabian horses, there are also Hanoverian and Andalusian horses suitable for war horses.

and two shire horses suitable as draft horses.

Chu Qianqian took out two shire horses from the stable, put on the reins and pulled a carriage. He then mounted the red rabbit and jogged towards the dwarf town with the carriage and a load of Erguotou and whiskey.

Half an hour later, I met the dwarf team on duty again, and the atmosphere was completely different from last time.

Although they still couldn't understand each other's language, the carriage with thousands of bottles of Erguotou and whiskey made several dwarves drool just by looking at it.
