Looking at the familiar warehouse in front of him and smelling the strong aroma of herbs, Liu Xiao confirmed that he was back!
Fortunately, the wooden door was still there, and I successfully traveled back to the real world.
The first thing he did when he returned to the real world was to take out all the rubies in his pocket and place them on the table.
"Really...this is all real...I'm not dreaming!"
Liu Xiao pinched himself and grinned in pain.
"Hahaha~~ I'm getting rich!"
The excited Liu Xiao laughed and rolled on the pile of medicinal materials in the warehouse.
These medicinal materials, or the lowest quality medicinal residue, are now like red banknotes in his eyes!
"Calm down... you must calm down... now is not the time to be happy... you have to confirm it again!"
Liu Xiao thought about digging through the pile of medicinal materials, and once again came to the ancient arched wooden door with complicated carvings.
He took a deep breath and pushed the wooden door gently.
With a "squeak" sound, the wooden door opened, and Liu Xiao stepped out, once again entering the forest full of earthy fragrance!
On the other side, several people were anxious as they watched their new boss disappear.
They began to search around the area where Liu Xiao disappeared, and even dug a hole in the ground.
"There's nothing underground...where is the boss?"
Crook, the goblin who is good at digging holes, showed his head from the ground, his little dirty face full of confusion.
"Huh? The boss is there! He appears again!"
The big giant Bang Bang pointed not far away, his voice rising several times.
But...Liu Xiao just made an attempt to seek insurance, and soon returned to the company warehouse.
But his figure disappeared out of thin air again in the eyes of several employees.
"This...the boss disappeared again? What happened?"
Several employees were puzzled, and finally Kota, an undead tribe, proposed a possibility.
"You think...could the boss use magic? The kind of magic that can teleport instantly!"
"Ah...this..."
Several people looked at each other and thought it was impossible.
You must know that the forest they live in is also known as the "cursed place" and "the god-forsaken place", and no magic can be used at all.
But...if it wasn't magic, how could the boss disappear out of thin air?
After once again confirming that the wooden door could permanently travel between the two worlds, Liu Xiao finally began to formulate his next plan.
"First...organize and collect the medicinal residues in the warehouse and transport them to other worlds for sale."
"Secondly... find reliable channels to sell these rubies in exchange for development funds."
"Finally, hire natives from other worlds to work for me, squeeze their labor force, and maximize profits!"
Liu Xiao wrote down his thoughts in a notebook and accidentally glanced at the clock on the wall from the corner of his eye.
For a moment, he felt like he was in a trance.
However, when Liu Xiao focused all his attention on the clock, he realized what had happened.
"How...how is this possible? The speed of time passing in the two worlds is inconsistent? From the first time I entered that door to now... less than an hour has passed!?"
Yes, the actual time on the clock has only passed more than half an hour, but Liu Xiao clearly feels like half a day has passed in a different world!
This time Liu Xiao was even more excited!
If time flows inconsistently in the two worlds, wouldn't it mean that I would have more time for activities?
In this way, you can develop your own chamber of commerce in a different world without fear of affecting work in the real world.
The best of both worlds, isn't it?
With this discovery, Liu Xiao immediately added another item to his plan.
"Develop the power of the chamber of commerce in another world well... Well... the goal cannot be set too small. We are already time travellers. We must become the richest man in the world~ Yes, let's do it!"
With an open mind, Liu Xiao wrote quickly and filled up three pages in a short time.
These are all the things he needs to do next.
Looking at the items listed in the notebook, Liu Xiao took out his cell phone and dialed his cellphone.
"Hey~ Fatty, what are you doing? I'll send you a few photos to help you see if it's worth anything! If it's right, I'll take care of it, and you'll be responsible for selling it. If you have money, we can make money together~!"
The "fat man" Liu Xiao calls is Zhang Wei, and he is his best friend in elementary school and junior high school.
However, their academic performance was average. After graduating from junior high school, Liu Xiao went to a second-rate technical school and went out to work before finishing.
As for Zhang Wei, he is considered a small second-generation rich man. His father opened several jewelry stores in Xiazhu City, and he can live a better life than Liu Xiao even if he does nothing.
On the other end of the phone, Zhang Wei's voice sounded weak, accompanied by an indescribable wheezing sound.
"What photos are you posting this late at night? I'm not short of money..."
Before the fat man finished speaking, Liu Xiao shouted into the microphone: "Damn it! Don't take my words seriously! Otherwise I will tell your dad that you peeped at your stepmother's bath..."
."
"Ah, okay, okay! You are my brother, my real brother! Can I just look at the photos you sent me now? Stop talking, I beg you!"
After hanging up the phone, Liu Xiao happily took a photo of the small pile of rubies and sent it.
Instead of sitting in the warehouse and waiting, he changed his clothes and ran out of the company warehouse and went to the only 24-hour convenience store on the street.
"Er Nier! I want to purchase goods!"
Liu Xiao shouted loudly as soon as he entered the store.
The night shift employee of this convenience store is a thin and petite young girl with freckles on her face.
Since Liu Xiao also often worked night shifts in the company, he would always come here to buy things when he was hungry at night, so the two of them became very familiar with each other.
But today, Liu Xiao looked as generous as a different person. As soon as he walked in, he shouted that he wanted to buy some goods.
"First...disposable lighters! Give me two boxes! Then...instant noodles, ham sausages, biscuits, toilet paper...and two big iron pots!"
He clicked on the items on the shelf one by one, and then looked at Ernier, who was a little confused.
"You...why did you buy so many things? Does the company provide labor insurance?"
Liu Xiao rolled his eyes at the little girl's question.
"Have you ever seen anyone who sells disposable lighters under labor insurance? Don't be stunned, help me get the goods! No credit today, pay in one lump sum~!"
"No credit? Then you didn't tell me earlier."
The girl shrugged, then walked slowly to the convenience store warehouse and started to prepare boxes of goods for Liu Xiao.
"Hey~~you girl~! You don't care about me when you pay on credit, right? When did I default on the credit~!"
After a while, with Liu Xiao's help, the girl finished counting the goods he wanted and stacked them on a flat trolley.
"Huh~Seriously, what do you need so many things for?"
Liu Xiao smiled mysteriously and let it slip: "Tell your boss to stock up on more goods recently~ I may have to do some bulk shopping a few more times~!"
Liu Xiao was right, what he said was truly a "bulk purchase."
At least for this convenience store, he bought all the disposable lighters, instant noodles, and hams in stock in one go.
This cost Liu Xiao one month's salary.
But he didn't feel bad, after all, these things could bring him dozens of times in return!
After huffing and puffing as he transported the goods back to the company's warehouse, Liu Xiao sat down on the sofa and took out his cell phone to read the reply from the fat man.
[Where did you get such a good product? I just took a quick look at it. If you didn’t download the picture from the Internet, then this is a good ruby!]
Liu Xiao raised the corners of his mouth slightly and replied a message.
[Just tell me how much one carat can be sold for. I have a large quantity here!]
Almost only a few seconds later, Liu Xiao's cell phone rang. As expected, it was Fatty calling.
"Hey~ don't be excited, don't be excited~ I'm really not kidding you, I have some in my hand now~ If you don't believe me, come over tomorrow and see for yourself~! Okay, okay~ Just tell me how much one carat can sell for
Bar!"
Liu Xiao held the phone in silence for a while, and suddenly his eyes turned into slits with laughter.
Fatty is very professional and gives prices for different production areas and different processes.
Generally speaking, natural rubies are still very scarce on the market.
The most precious among them are Burmese and Mozambique rubies.
Among them, the price of the famous vitreous pigeon blood red has exceeded 140,000 per carat!
High-quality Mozambique rubies of the same size are much cheaper, but that’s about 20,000 per carat.
Fatty's preliminary judgment was that the quality of the pile of rubies in Liu Xiao's hands was probably lower between pigeon blood red and Mozambique.
In other words, the price per gram is approximately 30,000-50,000!
Of course, Fatty also said that he can only judge the specific positioning after getting it himself.
But even so Liu Xiao was very satisfied.
The rubies he already owns weigh about two taels, which translates to about 500 carats...
500 times 30,000....15 million!?
"No, no, no... Calm down... If so many rubies appear on the market together, the price will definitely be discounted... After deducting the intermediate fee for the fat man... there will be leftovers no matter what.
....Five million, right...?”
The more Liu Xiao thought about it, the more scared he became... How could he become a millionaire in the blink of an eye?
