So he clicked on the door number of the house, and with a flash of blue light, he entered the space-time tunnel and flew away quickly.
Soon, he landed.
When he came back this time, Tang Wen brought back 41,300 taels of gold.
However, after checking the trend of international gold and silver prices, I found that the price of gold has dropped by one tael by two thousand yuan, to about one tael by ten thousand yuan.
On the contrary, the price of silver rose by one hundred yuan, reaching three hundred yuan and one tael.
In this way, 1:50 becomes about 1:30.
In addition to the tax of about 20%, after deducting the cost, the difference in price is actually much smaller than before.
The 41,000 taels of gold were sold for 402 million, and more than 80 million were paid in taxes. The remaining 340 million was used to repay the 40 million borrowed by the Luo family last time for the purchase and sale of prefabricated houses.
There are only 300 million left.
Tang Wen used 210 million to buy back 700,000 taels of silver, and the remaining 100 million bought cement and steel bars, bows, longbows, long arrows, and swords.
Three more excavators, two cranes, and two road rollers were purchased.
Ten Dongfeng brand heavy trucks, as well as a batch of pharmaceutical equipment, wine lighters and other odds and ends.
Of course, Tang Wen did not forget to equip himself with a military green Land Cruiser off-road vehicle.
Once the road along the lake is dug, he can also take Zhan Junru and Gu Hanyan to gallop around and show off their skills.
Of course, Tang Wen still had an important task when he came back this time, which was to record technical videos on vehicle driving, mechanical equipment operation, simple repairs, etc., and then convert the simplified text into seal script subtitles for display.
Otherwise, the craftsmen of Chu State would not be able to understand it.
Technology is the primary productive force. Tang Wen wants to hold a long-term training class to continuously train his minions.
Let them gradually master these simple modern technologies, such as driving, controlling cranes, cranes, etc.
Although the ancients had limited ability to accept modern technology due to lack of knowledge.
But Tang Wen believes that as long as training continues, a group of skilled workers will eventually be cultivated.
Therefore, in preparation for this activity, literacy and calligraphy learning have also been put on the agenda.
After returning home, we have to hold several literacy classes first. Otherwise, how can these craftsmen understand the text displayed on the subtitles if they cannot read a single Chinese character?
However, Tang Wen did not intend to teach them modern simplified characters, and they still mainly used Chu's seal script.
Otherwise, if everyone can understand the items you buy in the future, it will lose its sense of mystery.
The consequence of losing the sense of mystery is that they will slowly figure out the price of the items they buy back, and then they will lose the opportunity to ask for high prices.
Therefore, they must not be allowed to learn simplified Chinese characters.
Half a month has passed since all this work, and Tang Wen is preparing to return.
At this time, Luo Jun called and said that a big brother wanted to see him, so Tang Wen drove straight to the club.
After entering the box, I found an old young man with bright eyes.
"Mr. Tang, this is my brother 'Chen Guozhang', the captain of the 'War Dragon' special forces detachment of the Dadong Republic."
"Hello, Captain Chen." Tang Wen nodded and said hello.
"What's wrong with captain? This is not a military camp. I'm older than you. Just call me Brother Chen." Chen Guozhang said with a kind smile.
"Well, congratulations are worse than obeying your orders." Tang Wen said with a smile.
"Brother Tang, Luo Jun also gave me a few pills of your medicine. It feels good." Chen Guozhang said.
"Of course, they are all prepared from medicinal materials collected from the primitive jungle. Brother Chen, I am not bragging. Ask Wudang Shaolin, can they prepare such a good medicine?" Tang Wen nodded.
“They also prepare some pills, but usually they don’t take them out because they don’t have enough.
Sometimes when we purchase goods in the name of the state, they are forced to have no choice but to give us only a small amount.
However, the effect is not as good as your pills." Chen Guozhang said.
"Brother Chen and his brothers often go abroad to carry out secret missions. It is very dangerous to get blood and fire. Your medicine can sometimes save lives. Therefore, they also want to purchase a batch." Luo Jun was standing aside.
Helped.
"I made another batch when I came back this time." Tang Wen said.
"That's good. However, we are purchasing from the state and the demand is not small. Can the price be cheaper? Otherwise, it will be really unaffordable." Chen Guozhang said.
"Of course, I am also a member of the country, and I should contribute to the country. However, these medicinal materials are really hard to find, so I can only give you a 10% discount." Tang Wen said.
"Thirty percent off!" Chen Guozhang said.
"That's impossible, it's too low." Tang Wen shook his head.
"Hehehe, Mr. Tang, I heard that you are a master, let's learn from each other?" Chen Guozhang suddenly laughed.
"I can't call you a master, just a few tricks." Tang Wen said.
"Let's go to the courtyard." Chen Guozhang stood up and left. It seemed that he wanted to find out Tang Wen's background. The three of them arrived at a corner outside the courtyard.
"Look at the punch!" Unexpectedly, Chen Guozhang suddenly punched Tang Wen in the face.
Tang Wen swayed, stepped on the floating willow step, made a wrong step, and dodged with a sway of his head.
However, Chen Guozhang's second and third punches came again.
Tang Wen put out his hand, and Chen Guozhang tilted his hand and came over with a sweeping fist.
Tang Wen suddenly jumped up on the spot and jumped directly on the head of Chen Guozhang who was squatting down.
Suddenly he stretched out his foot and kicked with the heel of his back foot. Chen Guozhang was kicked in the back.
He jumped forward and ran seven or eight steps in a row to avoid falling down.
"Okay, punch me again!" Chen Guozhang suddenly became interested, roared, jumped up, and a tiger came down the mountain to pounce on him.
Tang Wen spun around and was immediately behind Chen Guozhang. He reached out and pushed, and Chen Guozhang pounced out again.
This time I wasn't as lucky as last time. I jumped directly into the flowers and broke some flowerpots.
However, Tang Wen suddenly felt his eyes blurred. Chen Guozhang unexpectedly rolled over strangely and bumped into him. His shoulder was knocked sideways and he flew out.
A good Tang Wen performed the "Nine Transformations of Fish and Dragon" in the air. He was as light as a swallow and spun in the air for two and a half weeks before landing.
However, Chen Guozhang's foot had already kicked Tang Wen in the crotch.
Next door, you want to destroy me...
Tang Wen became a little angry, suddenly transformed, tightened his body, and stretched out his hand.
The soles of Chen Guozhang's feet were grabbed and pulled, and Chen Guozhang spun and rolled out, directly rolling into the flower bed, where again there were broken pots of rotten flowers on the ground.
"Concession!" Tang Wen cupped his fists.
"Hehehe, yes, yes, Mr. Tang is indeed an expert." Chen Guozhang said with a smile.
"Brother Chen must have just entered the eighth level." Tang Wen said with a smile.
"Just kidding, I have been practicing for ten years, and after swallowing your 'Qi Condensing Pill' a few days ago, I feel like I have entered the eighth level.
I heard Luo Jun say that you are a master, so I came here because I felt itchy.
It's just that I'm still no match for you, Mr. Tang, so I'm rude and disrespectful." Chen Guozhang said with a smile.
"I can barely get by, and I'm not much better than Brother Chen." Tang Wen said with a smile.
"Okay, we want your elixir. We are doing our best for the country. Let's give it an 8.50% discount." Chen Guozhang said.
"Okay, Brother Chen is doing it for the country, so I'll be more relaxed and give you an 8.50% discount." Tang Wen said with a smile.
"Mr. Tang, do you plan to join our Dragon Fighting Team?" Chen Guozhang asked after the transaction was completed.
"Forget it, I'm used to freedom, so I definitely won't be able to do it.
At that time, the team will be held back.
Moreover, it would be even worse if something bad happens accidentally." Tang Wen shook his head.
"I knew you wouldn't agree, but the treatment of our Dragon Special Team is not bad either.
Moreover, there are many privileges that outsiders cannot have.
For example, once you join, your identity will be kept confidential, and even the public prosecutors and law will not have the power to investigate you.
Also, we can arrange multiple identities for you to make things easier..." Chen Guozhang said.
"Forget it, I really can't do it." Tang Wen shook his head firmly.
"Okay, if there are any issues related to martial arts in the future, I hope Mr. Tang can give you some advice.
After all, the better our team members are, the greater the chance of completing the mission.
And their chances of survival are higher." Chen Guozhang said.
"That's fine, but I often practice in retreat and my phone will be turned off," Tang Wen said.
"That's okay, as long as you can call me back when you see it." Chen Guozhang nodded.
Tang Wen invested all the 20 million he earned from selling the elixirs into Hengjiang Trading Company, leaving Zhao Jiang to fiddle with it.
Afterwards, he traveled back to Chu State.
"Dingdong, for your ninth time traveling, you need to accumulate 400 popularity points and expand the land area by 'five hundred acres'."
As soon as it landed, a response came from the Landlord space.
The popularity has not increased much, but this time a 'land index' has been added.
