Chapter Fourteen: Still Luminous

"Haha, money is easy to talk about. I wonder what kind of treasure Master Xu has brought here this time?"

"An East China Sea glazed orb," Xu Chen said.

Ding Daniu stepped forward and handed a glass bead to Shopkeeper Qiu. He took it and looked at it a few times, and found that it was not much different from the previous time.

Holding the orb, Shopkeeper Qiu said: "It's not because I am making things difficult for you. Treasures are most precious when they are unique. This second orb, I can only give you two hundred taels at most. If you are willing,"

"There is no hurry to discuss the price. Shopkeeper Qiu might as well take the orb to a dark place or hold it in his hand and take a closer look."

Shopkeeper Qiu followed the words and covered the orb with his hand, lowered his head and looked in through the gap between his fingers.

Oh,

At first glance, he was shocked!

this,

This orb actually glows in the dark, and the light appears light blue, clear and soft.

He was startled and quickly came to his senses. After all, he was an old shopkeeper who had seen strong winds and waves. When he raised his head again, his face was already calm and clear.

"It's a nice bead. It's a little more novel than the previous one, but it's not unique after all. Then, it's still the same 550 taels. What do you think of the price?"

Xu Chen raised his finger again. This was the second time he raised his finger to Shopkeeper Qiu.

"I will only say it once, one thousand taels, if Shopkeeper Qiu wants it, he will die."

"Sir, these words..."

"Daniu, bring back the beads." Shopkeeper Qiu opened his mouth, and Xu Chen directly ordered without any hesitation.

"Old man, bring me the beads," Ding Daniu shouted while standing under the counter.

"Wait a moment, Mr. Xu, we have something to talk about. This is not the first time..."

"Daniu, let's go. Let's see if Xinglong really dares to buy and sell by force. Take off my beads."

Xu Chen didn't show any hesitation and didn't give Shopkeeper Qiu a chance to speak.

Shopkeeper Qiu was stunned at the counter. Why is he so impatient?

Always interrupting and never letting anyone say a word.

Seeing that Xu Chen was about to walk out, how could he really dare to take the bead? If he didn't mention Xu Chen's unknown identity and just revealed the matter of forced buying and selling, his reputation would be ruined.

No matter how much shopkeeper Qiu keeps the price down, this is something that you and I both agree on, no matter how hard it is, he will accept it, because this is what he does.

But forcing guests to keep their belongings without paying for them is completely different.

Once the reputation is ruined, Xinglong Pawnshop will no longer be able to operate in Tengchong City. At that time, the owner will have to peel off his own skin?

"One thousand taels, the young master said one thousand taels, it's one thousand taels, we Xinglong stayed," shopkeeper Qiu shouted urgently.

"One thousand one hundred taels" Xu Chen stepped out and turned around to say.

"Young master, you...hey, hey, don't go, don't go, a thousand and one is a thousand and one, I admit it"

"One thousand two hundred taels"

"You... Hey, grandpa, grandpa, don't go. You are my real grandpa. You are so noble. I really know that I am wrong. One thousand and two is one thousand and two. I will exchange it for you into gold at 1:8. Look, grandpa.

Is this okay?"

Xu Chen turned around, looked at Shopkeeper Qiu with a half-smile, and said, "Young master, what I hate the most is buying and selling by force, and making people look bad unwillingly,"

"Sincerity and sincerity, you agree with me, there is absolutely no reluctance, I hope the young master will give me a chance." Behind the counter, shopkeeper Qiu squatted down, almost kneeling down to Xu Chen.

"It's not impossible to give it to you. I think the celadon cup just now is quite good..."

"This, this is ancient porcelain from the Yuan Dynasty"

"Forget it, Xu doesn't want to leave a reputation of being a bully." Xu Chen turned around and started to leave.

"Here it is, here it is, young master, this is my personal filial piety to you. I hope you don't dislike it." Shopkeeper Qiu had a depressed face, as if his father had died.

I’m afraid that all the money I earned from him in the past few days will be spit out this time!

Ma De, this little bastard, did you plan all this early in the morning?

"Haha, the elders have given me the gift. I don't dare to say goodbye to shopkeeper Qiu. It would be disrespectful for Xu to reject it." Xu Chen turned around and said with a smile.

Ding Daniu got the signal and stepped forward to take the celadon cup in his hand.

The new clerk behind the ticket counter over there finished writing the pawn tickets. Shopkeeper Qiu took out the gold cake, weighed 150 gold pieces, and handed it to Ding Daniu.

After pocketing the pawn tickets, Xu Chen bowed his hands to Shopkeeper Qiu: "In this case, Xu will resign first. Shopkeeper Qiu doesn't want to give you away if you stay."

Shopkeeper Qiu looked at Xu Chen leaving, and his heart almost turned green with regret!

no,

This is not over yet!

..

One luminous glass bead was exchanged for nine pounds of gold. This transaction would not even be exchanged for the president.

After sending the gold and Yuan celadon back to the modern bedroom and putting them under the bed, Xu Chen returned to the Ming Dynasty again.

Five pawnshops, and the remaining four, Xu Chen and Ding Daniu, followed the law and exchanged one thousand taels of silver for each shop into 111 taels of gold according to the exchange ratio of 1:9.

The five pawnshops obtained a total of 594 taels of gold, which is 37 kilograms.

There is also a Yuan celadon cup.

37 kilograms of gold weighs 18,500 grams. If the content is still 86, it can be sold for more than 5 million yuan. Plus the more than 2.9 million yuan in the bank card, Xu Chen can be called a multi-millionaire!

An ordinary person with an annual salary of 100,000 can earn 10 million in a hundred years.

And Xu Chen,

It took less than a week!

Where can I go to reason?

This money should be enough to renovate the house in Xihu Guocuiyuan.

only,

The appearance of Yuan Celadon gave Xu Chen a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

What was valuable in ancient times?

Of course it’s an antique!

Gold is valuable, but more than 30 kilograms only costs more than 5 million. Firstly, it is difficult to carry, and secondly, it is difficult to trade.

Why not exchange the silver for antiques and take them to the auction house? One piece can cost tens of millions or hundreds of millions. Isn't this much better than selling gold?

After leaving some money for Ding Daniu, Xu Chen returned to the present day, put the gold cake in his suitcase, and pushed it under the bed.
Chapter completed!
