Chapter 24 My Aunt
To say that these four hundred grams of silver is indeed not a big deal, but ordinary people rarely buy so much. Even if you earn 50 cents per gram, it is not too small.
"It's good to have it. By the way, give me 40 grams each. It's best to make it into silver coins." Li Anran nodded and said again.
"Forty grams each? Make it into silver dollars? I said, old classmate, what do you want to do?" Chow Tai Fook, who was somewhat surprised by such a request, asked.
"What do you care about me? I can buy it back and collect it. It's not like I won't give you money. By the way, I don't want any discount from you, but there must be no problems with the things."
Li Anran was not stupid enough to reveal his true purpose. He only reminded the other party in a half-joking way not to be so curious, and at the same time emphasized the quality.
"That's right, why do I care so much. But it's a bit troublesome to make it into silver coins. You have to make new molds according to your requirements. By the way, I have ready-made ones here."
"It's the kind imitated by Yuan Datou during the Republic of China. However, there are some problems with the weight. Each one is only about 26 grams. One is too little, and two is too much."
Knowing that he had asked something he shouldn't have asked, Chow Tai Fook slapped himself on the forehead and changed the topic to the issue of making silver coins.
"Yuan Datou? I don't want that thing. If it's really troublesome, just make it for me if you think it's easy. If it's really difficult, even silver pancakes will do."
Li Anran never expected that the production of silver coins would require re-opening of molds. As for Yuan Datou, it would definitely not be usable. It would be ridiculous to use Yuan Datou to consume in Datang. Even if Datang did not have such a thing as printing portraits on silver coins.
What legal provisions, but if something goes wrong, you will be asking for trouble.
"Silver cake?"
Chow Tai Fook was stunned for a moment, and now he felt that he, an old classmate, suddenly bought so much silver, probably because he wanted to invest in this area, so he said: "Otherwise, according to the amount you said, I will directly
I'll turn it into silver bars for you. Anyway, I have a ready-made machine at home, so it won't take much time."
"Silver bars? Okay, just as you said. Forty grams per bar, you get me ten bars. By the way, if there are only four grams of silver, what can it be made of?" Thinking about preparing the silver, I also
It was just for asking questions before the time and space of the Tang Dynasty developed, so Li Anran didn't pay too much attention to it.
"Four grams? The portion is a bit too small. If I really want to make it, I can only make silver beans, silver beads, or imitation of ancient coins, like small copper coins."
"Copper coins? Do you have any ready-made ones here?"
"Yes, you just came in. Just wait and I'll bring it to you."
Soon, Chow Tai Fook brought over a tray with bright silver coins placed on it.
These coins are really the same shape as copper coins, round on the outside and square on the inside, with words printed on both sides, small and exquisite, and very antique.
"Oh, this thing looks really good. Wealth and safety, good fortune and good fortune, more than enough every year, nomination for the gold list, tsk tsk tsk, these are all good luck words." Picked up a few silver coins placed in the plastic wrap.
After playing with it for a while, Li Anran was quite satisfied with this little thing that was specially designed to be collected and given as gifts.
"How about it? Not bad. Nowadays, it's popular to give these as gifts during festivals or happy events. Not only are they valuable for collection, but they can also maintain and increase in value."
"It's just that the portion size is a little different from what you requested. This one weighs five grams." Seeing his old classmate's satisfied look, Chow Tai Fook didn't forget to remind him.
"Five grams? Five grams is just five grams. However, yours is already considered jewelry, and it must be more expensive than my silver." After pondering for a while, Li Anran said.
"Don't worry, to outsiders it will definitely be sold at the price of jewelry. If you want it, old classmate, I will still sell it at the price of silver." Chow Tai Fook said with a smile.
"Open! In that case, in addition to the ten silver bars just now, you can give me another hundred silver coins like this. Again, there can be no problem with the quality."
Li Anran knew very well that there was a huge difference between the value of the silver material and the finished product. He didn't care about the difference of 0.5 grams at the moment, and just made the decision. It took about half an hour, and it was ten for forty-five.
The weight of silver bars and a hundred silver coins with various auspicious words printed on them came into Li Anran's hands.
Chow Tai Fook was not vague about quality issues. He directly invited his old classmates to the workshop behind his store to make them on site. Silver bars that have not been carefully processed look far less beautiful than those silver coins.
The filamentous texture can be easily seen on the surface with the naked eye.
After getting the silver bars, Chow Tai Fook also presented two velvet bags, one black and one red, specially used to hold jewelry. They were about the size of a palm and the workmanship was exquisite. After paying the money, Li Anran did not
He was in a hurry to leave, but sat in the shop with Chow Tai Fook, who had no business for the time being, and started chatting.
"I said Ah Fu, in addition to selling gold and silver, your shop also accepts gold and silver?"
"Take it, why, what can I do to take care of my old classmate?"
"I can't talk about taking care of you. This is not the last time. I am very restless. I want to do some small business in the city. I don't have much cash on hand, so I just want to sell some gold."
"Okay, as long as the goods are good, I can't say that the price will be higher than others, but it will definitely be kind." Chow Tai Fook, who had just made a fortune, said, patting his chest.
Li Anran was very satisfied that the other party did not question the source of his gold at all, but he did not say anything more. Instead, he changed the conversation and changed the topic.
"If you say this, I'll rest assured. I'll bring the things over when I make a decision, and then we'll see the goods. By the way, Ah Fu, do you make copper coins?"
"Copper coins? You mean antiques?"
"It's not an antique, and I don't understand that stuff."
"You mean, custom-made copper coins? Like the ones sold in Feng Shui shops?"
"Uh...that's pretty much what it means."
"I've never done this kind of business, but if you really want it, I can help you get some when you buy it next time." Chow Tai Fook pondered for a moment and said.
"In this case, if you can find a way to do this, please help me ask how to calculate the cost of custom-made copper coins." Li Anran put down the tea cup and said seriously.
"No problem, I'll remember this and I'll call you as soon as I have any news." Although he was a little curious, Chow Tai Fook was smart enough not to ask any more questions.
After the two chatted for a while, it seemed that it was time for lunch. Li Anran waved his hand and took Chow Tai Fook to the Lishui family where the business was the best. If it were anyone else, he would have wanted to spend the meal here.
It is really not easy to get a private room in a well-known restaurant in the county, but it is easy for Li Anran.
As soon as they entered the door, they were greeted by a beautiful young woman.
"Xiao Lizi, why did you come here empty-handed? I wanted to get the goods last time?"
"My aunt, didn't you just deliver the wine three days ago?"
Seeing the opponent's akimbo stare, Li Anran, who had long been accustomed to this character, immediately raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, with an expression on his face that said he was truly wronged.
"Humph, you know what I'm talking about. I don't care. I'm going to entertain a distinguished guest here in the next two days. You can't let your guard down at this critical moment."
Hu Jing wears a decent cheongsam, which shows off her curvy figure to the fullest. Coupled with her delicate and beautiful face, it is enough to put many female stars to shame.
"Sister Jing, I don't want to lose my virginity either. Otherwise, I can send myself here when the time comes." Li Anran said with a fake frown.
"This is a restaurant, not Sun Erniang's shady shop! What's the use of your body!" Hu Jing, who was suppressing a smile when she saw the big man in front of her with his head drooped, gave her a trick and pointed her finger.
Put your hands in front of the other person's face.
"I know you won't give up until you remove all the wine from home. Okay, isn't it just a jar of wine? I'll give it to you!" In the past, every time Li Anran came over to deliver wine, he would basically get used to it in various ways.
There are many reasons that come around to this matter, and I have long been used to it.
In the past, Li Anran was reluctant to give people the big tonic wine that his old man brewed using tiger bones as the main ingredient and several Chinese medicinal materials as auxiliary ingredients. But things are different now. As long as he can return to the Tang Dynasty,
By then, let alone a few pieces of tiger bones, as long as you have enough money, you can bring back the entire tiger.
