Chapter 9 Extraordinary Shots
Zhang Yeyu couldn't hold himself back at first and wanted to scold everyone. Zhang Lang grabbed Zhang Yeyu and said, "What are you arguing with these idlers? It's more important to do business!"
Zhang Yeyu felt overwhelmed when he saw Zhang Lang holding her delicate hand, and a blush appeared on his cheeks involuntarily.
Zhang Lang let go of Zhang Yeyu and said to the middle-aged man: "There are many people here. I hope to go to a quiet place."
The middle-aged man cupped his fists and said: "The rules of Jubaozhai are that if you want to trade in the private room, no matter whether the transaction is successful or not, you have to pay a fee of one hundred yuan."
Zhang Lang said: "It doesn't matter, let's go to the private room."
The middle-aged man responded and immediately said, "Come with me, strong man." He then led the way, leading Zhang Lang and his group to the exquisite and majestic spiral staircase located in the middle palace.
At this time, a plump middle-aged guest said very dissatisfied: "This Jubaozhai is really awesome! Why are you so polite to such a lowly person? Do you really think that such a lowly person can have any treasures?" Many guests also expressed their dissatisfaction.
express dissatisfaction.
Another middle-aged man in the hall who was responsible for receiving guests said loudly: "We at Jubaozhai always try our best to meet the guests' requirements. This is our respect for our guests.
If anyone here is willing to pay an additional fee of one hundred yuan, I can also take you to the private room."
When all the guests heard this, they all closed their mouths and said nothing more. It can be seen that for them, one hundred mins is not a negligible amount.
Zhang Lang followed the elegant middle-aged man to the second floor. Looking around, he saw eight private rooms with closed wooden doors, centered on the spiral staircase and distributed according to the Bagua directions.
There is a small plaque hanging on the lintel of the eight private rooms, which reads "Sky, Ze, Fire, Thunder, Wind, Water, Mountain, and Earth". Small lanterns from the First World War are hung next to the door, among which "Sky, Fire"
, the lanterns in the three elegant rooms on the ground are lit.
The middle-aged man asked Zhang Lang: "Follow me, strong man!" Then he led Zhang Lang and his party towards the elegant room with the word "water".
Arriving at the door, the middle-aged man first lit the small lantern at the door, then pushed open the wooden door and led Zhang Lang and others into the room.
Zhang Lang looked up and saw an old man with gray hair sitting behind the desk not far away. When he saw a group of people coming in, he raised his eyes and looked over. His eyes seemed dull, but they revealed a keen light.
The middle-aged man closed the wooden door, turned around, walked quickly to the opposite side of the old man, bowed and clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Zhao, this strong man is here to sell treasures!"
Mr. Zhao nodded and looked towards Zhang Lang.
Zhang Lang stepped forward, sat down opposite Mr. Zhao, took out seventeen glass beads from the cloth bag in his hand and placed them on the desk.
Mr. Zhao immediately cast his eyes on the glass beads in front of him, and his expression moved slightly.
Pick up one of the glass beads embedded with three red petals and a completely colorless and crystal clear glass bead, and put them in front of your eyes to observe carefully.
Zhang Lang looked at Mr. Zhao, feeling a little nervous and a little expectant. Although he felt that glass beads could pass for crystals in ancient times, he felt a little unsure when it came to the matter.
After observing carefully for a while, Mr. Zhao put down the two glass beads.
He raised his head and said to Zhang Lang: "The crystal beads this warrior brought are of average quality, but what's rare is that they are polished to be so round. I'm afraid the master in Beijing doesn't have such skill either. It's really rare!..."
Pointing to the glass bead with three red petals embedded in it, he said: "What surprised me the most was this red crystal bead. I originally thought it was the work of a skilled craftsman, but there was nothing on this crystal bead."
See any traces of piecing together,
So it’s obviously natural, which is unbelievable!”
Then he carefully inspected all the seventeen glass beads Zhang Lang brought.
After thinking for a moment, he looked at Zhang Lang, pointed at five colorless glass beads and said: "Such crystal beads are of average quality, but they are better polished and rounded. Jubaozhai, each one can be purchased for one thousand five hundred."
cord.……"
Siblings Feixu, Zhang He and Zhang Yeyu, who were standing behind Zhang Lang, were all shocked when they heard Mr. Zhao's guaranteed price.
You must know that the average family's monthly living expenses are only about ten yuan, and a young man like Zhang Lang can only get three hundred yuan a month for living expenses!
One glass bead is worth 1,500 coins, so five of them are worth 7,500 coins. This is definitely a huge sum of money that most people would never dare to think of!
Mr. Zhao pointed to the other twelve glass beads with red, blue and green colors and said: "Although these glass beads are similar in appearance to those five, it is rare that they are born with such a rare color.
,...well, you can bid three thousand yuan for each one."
As soon as he said these words, Feixu, Zhang He and Zhang Yeyu were stunned. One piece was three thousand pieces, and eleven pieces were not thirty-six thousand pieces. Is this kind of crystal bead so valuable?
Zhang He and Zhang Yeyu frequently looked at those inconspicuous beads, with expressions of disbelief in their eyes. At the same time, they couldn't help but have an unfathomable feeling towards their young master.
Zhang Lang didn't show any particular surprise after hearing Mr. Zhao's words, because the other party's quotation was similar to what he estimated.
He nodded and said: "Okay."
Mr. Zhao smiled and said: "In that case, let's make a transaction. Does the strong man want cash in cash or trust?"
Zhang Lang became curious and asked, "What is trust?"
Mr. Zhao was stunned for a moment, as if he was surprised by Zhang Lang's question. Then he explained: "This letter is a token issued by our Jubaozhai. It will be engraved with the amount of money deposited by the guest in our Jubaozhai, and
Place and time of deposit.
And with this letter, guests can withdraw cash from any Jubaozhai anywhere in the world. Traveling with this letter is much more convenient and safer than carrying cash!"
Zhang Lang understood and thought to himself: Isn't this the ancient version of the passbook? I didn't expect that it existed in the Han Dynasty?
After thinking for a while, he turned to look at Zhang He.
Zhang He understood and immediately stepped forward and whispered: "Sir, Jubaozhai is one of the largest merchants in the world. It has been established for more than two hundred years and has an outstanding reputation!..."
Zhang Lang nodded and said to Mr. Zhao, "Just rely on your faith."
Mr. Zhao immediately said to the middle-aged man standing next to him: "Go to the vault immediately..."
Zhang Lang suddenly raised his hand and said: "Wait a minute, I still have something..."
Mr. Zhao was slightly surprised and looked at Zhang Lang.
Zhang Lang reached into his cloth bag, took out a crystal ball that was larger than his fist, and placed it on the desk.
Mr. Zhao's expression was not particularly surprising. However, when he saw the appearance of the crystal ball clearly, his eyes quickly opened at a speed visible to the naked eye, his mouth opened involuntarily, and an extremely shocked look appeared in his eyes.
.
In fact, it wasn't just him, the middle-aged man who saw the crystal ball at this moment, as well as the brothers Fei Xu, Zhang He and Zhang Yeyu, also showed expressions of wonder and disbelief.
