Eight hundred and sixtieth chapters ebony hand
"That's right, I see that the whole family is crazy about money. They have been guarding a piece of rotten wood for more than ten years. They have been there for so many years but no one wants it. They are still a treasure!"
"That family is just a fool, I'm stupid, I'm stupid, and even my daughter is stupid now. It's really ugly and weird. Only fools can buy this piece of rotten wood!"
Listening to the gossip around, the girl didn't make a sound, but just lowered her head stubbornly and didn't say a word.
Although Yang Feng could not fully understand the Galog language spoken by these people, he could still guess some from the expressions of the people around him. However, he was too lazy to say anything and said to the girl: "Is it fifty taels of silver? I bought it. Song Ye, give him the silver and call someone to move the wood away later."
"Here!"
Song Ye agreed and took out a purse from his arms. When he opened the purse, he exposed pieces of white silver dollars, which immediately made the people around him look upside down.
These silver dollars were cast by Yang Feng for the Minghu Steel Factory in modern society. One side of the silver dollars is carved with the portrait of the Ming Emperor Zhu Youxiao, and the other side is carved with the sun and moon flag symbolizing the Ming Dynasty.
The value of each silver dollar is one tael of silver. Because the silver dollar created by Yang Feng is exquisitely shaped, and his advantages of never adulterating in raw materials, easy to use, wear-resistant, and long circulation life, it was deeply loved by merchants and people from all over the world as soon as it was launched. Over the years, it has gradually occupied half of the circulation market in the Ming Dynasty.
Not only that, these silver coins even flowed to overseas markets with the Ming merchants, and were loved and sought after by overseas merchants. Not only that, because these silver coins are easy to use and beautifully shaped, in overseas countries such as Luzon, private merchants and people even sold their prices to the point where they could only exchange for a silver dollar if they could break silver.
Now Song Ye took out fifty silver dollars to this girl, which is equivalent to sixty taels of silver.
Seeing the girl who looked dull and had no reaction for a while, Song Ye put the numbered silver coins into another cloth bag and stuffed them into her hand, "Here... you have to put them away. If it drops, I won't recognize it."
After hearing Song Ye's words, the girl's dull expression suddenly disappeared. He looked at Song Ye and the powerful servants around him, and then looked at Yang Feng.
He did not take the silver dollar from Song Ye's hand, but walked quickly to Yang Feng and said to Yang Feng: "This guest official, I don't want your money. I just want to ask you for one thing?"
"Don't have money?"
Yang Feng was a little surprised when he heard this, "Did you know that this is fifty silver dollars, which can allow you to buy a small house here, or even a few acres of land, or even a few acres of land for the remaining money?"
The girl gritted her teeth and said, "Of course I know, but I know even more. If I take your money, I'm afraid I won't live tomorrow morning!"
Yang Feng glanced around and immediately noticed at least a dozen greedy gazes passing by the girl.
He immediately understood that the girl's condition might not be very good. Suddenly, such a sum of money was added, and for her, it was like a child who was carrying gold bricks through the downtown area.
He nodded and said, "I understand, what do you want me to do?"
"I want to ask you to save my mother. My mother is seriously ill. The doctor said that if she doesn't treat her, she may... I'm afraid..."
The girl wiped her tears, looked at Yang Feng with red eyes, and begged: "I can see that you must be a big man from Ming Dynasty. There must be a doctor with great medical skills around you. You can do it as long as you can save my mother. As long as you can save my mother, you can do anything you can. You can even give it to you as a slave."
Looking at the girl who was about to cry, Yang Feng hesitated for a moment. It was not that he was suspicious, but that people should be more careful in everything they do in a foreign land, so don’t fall into other people’s tricks. However, after thinking for a while, Yang Feng ruled out this possibility.
Because I wanted to buy this ebony just temporarily, this girl shouldn't have been put to her by someone on purpose. After thinking about this, he said, "You are a smart girl, so I'm willing to help you. I can try it, but I can't guarantee that you will definitely cure your mother.
Song Ye... You bring a few people to her house and take her and her mother to the medical camp, so that Medical Officer Zhang Bailing can take a look and treat her with care. Also, don't forget to send someone to bring this wood back to the residence where Benhou is located later."
"Here..."
Song Ye agreed and then followed the girl.
What Yang Feng did was also seen by the people around him. Several people who had originally had bad intentions couldn't help but look disappointed when they saw the girl being taken away by Song Ye and others.
But then everyone started to discuss, was this kind of black wood really a treasure?
In fact, things like ebony or gloomy wood were not valued at all in ancient times, and people had no love for things that were either dark or gray.
It was not until the 1970s and 1980s that it began to be loved by people, and the prices also rose rapidly. After the 21st century, the price of gloomy wood, which was originally several thousand yuan per ton, rose to several million or even tens of millions, and it could be said that it was flying up like a rocket. Today, Yang Feng suddenly discovered such a large gloomy wood, so he would naturally not let it go.
Almost not long after Yang Feng returned to his residence, Song Ye had arranged hundreds of soldiers to transport the ebony more than ten meters long back to Yang Feng's residence.
Looking at the newly acquired ebony, Yang Feng felt a sense of joy of finding a bargain. He took a magnifying glass and observed the ebony carefully.
This ebony has a solid and heavy texture, black and shiny color, and a smooth and delicate cross-section. When you get close, you can smell a faint fragrance unique to the trees. Yang Feng estimated that this ebony should be nanmu and camphor wood. Only after these two trees have been buried underground for hundreds or thousands of years can they still emit such a refreshing fragrance.
"It seems like it's up to me to get rich."
Yang Feng liked this ebony the more he looked at it. Although he had never been in contact with ebony before, he had been working in the antique industry for a long time and had a certain understanding of ebony. By this year, the price of ebony formed by nanmu or camphor wood has risen to more than 8 million or even more than 10 million yuan per ton. This ebony has at least more than ten tons, so the price is amazing.
"Do you want to go back to modern society tonight? Your wife is pregnant with a child. This time, after taking Ebony back, she happened to spend a few days with her, which makes her happy."
Yang Feng rubbed the ebony and showed a warm smile on his face. Fortunately, there was no one here, otherwise it would be shocked if people saw it. After all, a big man touched a piece of wood and showed such a smile, no matter who could feel creepy.
"Doudu!" A knock on the door sounded at the outer door.
"Come in!"
