"What is this?" Liu Runsheng asked immediately as he looked at a bunch of familiar and unfamiliar things in the box.

"To be honest, these are the goods I plan to bring for trading." After Li Zhigao finished speaking, he began to take things out one by one and began to explain the uses of these things.

That's all. For example, talking to Liu Runsheng about the various drugs that are considered big killers in this era is no different than playing the piano to a cow. So Li Zhigao didn't say much and planned to save it to sell to those foreigners or drugstore owners. But like

Liu Runsheng could see the value of things like watches and pens, even though he was just a salesman doing small business.

"I mainly want to sell these two things now." Li Zhigao pointed to the pen and watch and said, "You are a local and a businessman. From your perspective, if these things are sold, how much can they be fetched?

"

"This, it's really hard to say." Liu Runsheng shook his head, "Sir, these things are extremely rare. If nothing else, this kind of watch is neither gold nor silver, but it is so bright and beautiful.

If it is like what you said, it never rusts and is not damaged by water, then the price is really immeasurable, but... this is hard to believe."

"Haha." Seeing that the other party was worried, Li Zhigao smiled, then picked up a watch and threw it into a basin of water while Liu Runsheng was stunned. This was something he asked Liu Runsheng's wife to bring over in advance. Liu Runsheng

At first I thought it was Li Zhigao asking for something to wash his hands after eating, but who knew it turned out to be for dry use.

After exclaiming, Liu Runsheng discovered that the watch in the water was actually not broken, and the hands were still moving. It was indeed waterproof as Li Zhigao said.

After waiting for a while, Li Zhigao took the watch out of the water and said with a smile: "Do you believe it now?"

"This, this...what material is this made of?"

"This is called stainless steel, a kind of steel made by a special process that will not rust." Li Zhigao smiled.

The earliest stainless steel was invented by an accident in 1912 by the German scientist Maura. The earliest stainless steel products were not patented and successfully trial-produced until 1916 by the British scientist Henry Brearley. Therefore, today's stainless steel

In 1910, stainless steel was a real rarity and had not yet appeared.

Thinking of this, Li Zhigao said: "I guarantee that the material of this watch case is unique in the world, and as you just saw, this watch is really indestructible when it is exposed to water, and it will not be exposed to water for thirty meters. Hmm.

, you just estimate the price, I will ask you to help me sell it at a good price later."

"Hey." Liu Runsheng couldn't put it down and touched it again and again. Then he said softly, "For an ordinary foreign watch, it would be nice if it cost 200 yuan. But if it is as good as you said, look at the workmanship of this watch."

Material, if I had to give a price, it would be worth 10,000 taels of silver. I'm afraid the place here is too small and no one can afford the price. In addition, due to the recent deterioration of the world, the quantity of your watch is also large.

If you really want to sell it, I guess you can get it for five thousand dollars a piece, but you have to go to big places like Shanghai, Nanjing, or Beijing, and find the right person to sell it at a good price."

"Shanghai, Nanjing, and Beijing? It's too far." Li Zhigao shook his head.

"If you think those places are far away, you can go to Wuhu." Liu Runsheng continued, "There are many foreigners in Wuhu, and there are also many rich people. If one watch costs 3,000 oceans, or ten watches total 30,000 oceans, you can definitely afford it."

"Wuhu is also far away, I can't wait." Li Zhigao shook his head again, "It's right here, in Taiping City. Who do you think can afford it here? It doesn't matter if the price is cheaper."

"If you insist on selling it here, I think a watch can be sold for two thousand yuan." Liu Runsheng said thoughtfully.

"Such a big difference? Wuhu is not far from Taiping Mansion, how can it be a thousand oceans away?"

"There is no way." Liu Runsheng smiled bitterly, "It has nothing to do with whether it is close or not. The main thing is that people here can only afford this price. No matter how high it is, no one will buy it. After all, this is not food and clothing. Everyone must

Otherwise, to put it bluntly, no matter how good this thing is, it’s just a plaything. It’s just a matter of catching up with the prosperous times, but these days are full of chaos and chaos, and not many people here will spend money like this for a few playthings.”

After hearing this, Li Zhigao realized that he had been misled by those time-travel novels and ignored the purchasing power and willingness to buy here. He thought that if he just bought something, he could sell it for tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, but he didn't

Knowing that tens of thousands of oceans is an astronomical figure in this era.

Indeed, the "high-end watches" he brought are indeed very good, but to be good, they must be able to be sold. To the locals, they are regarded as toys and luxuries, not necessities.

"Even if it's not the daily necessities here, people here buy them and resell them in other cities, and the profit is very high. Why can't the bid be higher? It's a thousand less than Wuhu, which is just around the corner. It's outrageous.

.”

"It's because it's going to be resold to places like Wuhu, so the interest rate difference is one thousand yuan." Liu Runsheng said with a wry smile, "If I want to buy your goods, I have to spend a lot of money, at least one to twenty thousand taels of silver, you can get it at once.

And there are really not many people who can afford so much money these days, even if a few people join together. Moreover, buying your goods and then reselling them is not something that can be done in a short while. In addition, this thing is eye-catching.

Very, you have to pay attention to confidentiality, and you have to pay attention to preventing thieves and thefts... So, without a small profit of a thousand yuan, who is willing to take this risk."

"Hey, forget it, this price is enough. Are you sure these ten watches can be sold for 20,000 yuan?"

"At this price, there is no problem eating here. Although our Taiping Prefecture is not as good as Wuhu and other big cities, it is still a big city. There are many wealthy businessmen and some foreign firms. If these ten pieces of watches are sold for twenty thousand dollars,

,should be no problem."

"Well, by the way, what if I take it to a pawn shop to pawn it? How much can it cost?" Li Zhigao asked again.

"Pawn? That's worthless." Liu Runsheng shook his head, "Master, no, sir, pawn shops are the most deceptive. If you don't have to, don't go there. You have such a good watch. If you go to the pawn shop, can you get a pawn shop?"

Three hundred oceans is the end, and this is still death."

"So much difference?"

"That's not true." Liu Runsheng said with a bitter smile, "Pawning means clearly selling off the old mortgaged items, so the price is very low. If I can give you 10% for 100% of the price, it is already a good conscience.

That’s why I said, if you go to a pawn shop to pawn it, I can give you three hundred yuan, which is already a reasonable price."

"But, my goods are obviously good, so they are not afraid that the price is too low and I won't sell them to them?"

"Master, that's not what it's like." Liu Runsheng said, "Every business has its own rules. In a pawn shop, if something is priced at 10%, the price should not exceed 20%. This is the rule here. Whoever wants to

If you break the rules of the trade, the consequences are not something that ordinary people can afford. Pawning is pawning old things in exchange for money, and yours are new goods that are meant to be sold for money. Naturally, you should not go to a pawn shop, but to a pawn shop.

Foreign banks, gold shops, and jewelry shops are the real ones."

"Oh, yes, yes, it really makes sense." Li Zhigao nodded, "It seems like there is a mountain across the street. Thanks to you, a sensible person, for helping me check it. Otherwise, I would just go to a pawn shop and sell it casually."

"No, this is what a slave should do."

"Don't call me a slave, it sounds uncomfortable. I don't like to hear this, so just call yourself one." Li Zhigao waved his hand and asked about the pen, "What about this kind of pen? How much do you think the pen can be sold for?"

"This kind of fountain pen with automatic ink is different." Liu Runsheng shook his head, "Although we locals don't recognize this thing very much, I know that foreigners like it very much and use it. However, I see those foreigners use it.

, most of them are hard dip pens, and you have to dip them in ink to write a few words. If this pen can really absorb the ink and be used for a long time, it will be very popular and the price will not be low. Well, yes

I think if you go to a local bank, you can definitely sell a pen for thirty dollars."

"Thirty oceans?" Li Zhigao's eyes lit up, "Are the oceans you mentioned all Eagle Oceans?"

"Yes." Liu Runsheng nodded, "Nowadays, the popular ones on the market are mainly Mexican Yingyang and Daqing. The quantity is too small and the ingredients are mixed. Not many people recognize it. It is not as good as Longyang, Zhangyang and Zuoyang.

.Hey, money is the foundation of circulation. We are a great dynasty, but now the market is mainly filled with foreign money, hey..."

"Forget it, these things can't be rushed, and you and I can't worry about them now." Li Zhigao smiled.

"That's true." Liu Runsheng nodded.

"In this way, since we are all our own, I will leave my watch and pen to you. You can find a way to sell them to me."

"Ah?" Liu Runsheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded again, "Since you value your attention, I will naturally work hard and do my best. However, you have to be honest with me. What is the base price of this watch and this pen?"

"What about the lowest price..." Li Zhigao pondered for a moment, "As long as the watch is no less than one hundred Yingyang, and the pen is no less than three Yingyang, you can sell it as you like. Of course, the higher the price, the higher the price.

good."

"Sure, I can give it a try." Liu Runsheng nodded, "Is that all there are in total?"

"That's all for now." Li Zhigao nodded, "These are all for me to test the waters. You can sell them boldly. If the sales are good, I can buy more. As for the quantity, haha, how much do you want, how much do you have?

!”

"How much do you want? How many are there?"

"That's right! Moreover, if the sales are good, I will also give you a commission according to the situation. I guarantee that I will not lose you or let you run away in vain."

"This, this...can't be done, can't be done."

"Old Liu." Li Zhigao patted him on the shoulder, "You want to repay your kindness and be my current person. I can't stop you, so forget it, but you can see that, no matter who you think you are,

From the beginning to the end, I didn't treat you as a human being, but as a friend. Well, that's it, I'm very short of money now, if you really want to repay me, just sell these things to me quickly.

, in exchange for Dayang being serious!"

"Yes, yes." Liu Runsheng touched his red eyes, "Don't worry, I promise to sell these things at a good price."

"This, won't there be any trouble?" Li Zhigao said suddenly, "You said before that the world is not peaceful, there are bandits everywhere outside the city, and there must be a lot of gangsters in this city, oh, that is, gangsters who collect protection fees and the like.

?I have a lot of money for these things. If you take these things out to sell them, what if you are targeted..."

"Well, don't worry, I will definitely not show it to random people, but look for those who can afford it and are reliable." Liu Runsheng smiled, "Although my Liu family is in decline, at least there were still some people back then.

Many old relationships are still there, and in addition, my brother-in-law is still a policeman in the city, so no one will open their eyes and dare to cause trouble for our family."

"That's good." Li Zhigao nodded with a smile, "Without further ado, you go out and contact the customer right now, I'll wait here. Oh, by the way, there are always some big pharmacies or hospitals in the city.

, if so, call their supervisor over and tell them that I have many special medicines for treating diseases and that we can all work together."

After saying this, Liu Runsheng brought a watch and a pen as display items and hurriedly left the house to contact wealthy local merchants. However, Li Zhigao was lying alone on the bed in the master bedroom of the east wing, enjoying himself.

He was playing with his cell phone leisurely, waiting for customers to come and be slaughtered.

To be honest, Li Zhigao didn't have any big ambitions in the past. He is a man who is content with a small amount of money. After getting this ring, making money is the first thing he wants to do. All other grand projects can only be achieved later.

Things to think about.

As for coming here for medical treatment, in addition to fulfilling the promise, there is indeed another purpose, that is, he wants Liu Runsheng, a local, to help him, otherwise he will sell things recklessly in this strange world by himself.

It must be very dangerous for him to dress up in a bluffing manner, and he will definitely not be able to maximize profits in the first place.

For example, if Liu Runsheng hadn't reminded him, he must have gone to a pawn shop to sell goods as mentioned in the time-travel novel. It doesn't matter whether he suffered a loss or not. If he was accidentally targeted by someone, he would have evil intentions and harm himself.

, then there’s really nothing to say.

Li Zhigao doesn't think he has any protagonist aura or bastard spirit. He bows to anyone who encounters him, and his IQ directly becomes negative.

If nothing else, let's just say that Liu Runsheng seems to be honest, but if he hadn't actually cured his mother's illness and given him such a good business, he probably wouldn't have had a good impression of himself.

Not to mention willing to be a servant and running for yourself.

Therefore, whether you are going to a strange country or a strange time and space, finding a local guide is the top priority. And when making money in a strange place, don't think about making a profit as soon as you arrive. Always show kindness first.
