Chapter 114 Making money makes people happy, but getting rich makes people happy!
Robbery may seem simple and crude, but in fact it is highly risky, the returns are unstable, and the consequences are endless.
A truly rich man will not directly use force to steal other people's money.
Although their huge wealth accumulation was also based on robbing, their method of robbing money was not directly using violence, but relying on so-called market rules.
For example, loan sharks often say that they are in the serious financial services industry.
"Well, there are always more solutions than difficulties..."
Wei An pondered for a moment, and several ways to make a lot of money quickly came to mind.
gamble:
Nine out of ten bets result in losses, and they are unreliable;
Alchemy:
I am a fifth-grade alchemist. I can secretly refine elixirs and sell them for money, but refining elixirs takes too much time and will affect the library;
forging:
Refer to Alchemy.
Refining poison:
I am proficient in the five poisons method and can secretly refine some colorless and odorless poisons to sell;
…
Plans flashed through Wei An's mind one after another.
The ninth day of May!
Wei An said hello to Grandma Chen and asked him to take one day off. He would have three days off every month, which could be taken consecutively or separately. The specific method could be arranged by him personally.
…
…
Four Seas Chamber of Commerce!
Wei An walked slowly into the reception hall, and the steward Liu Ling twisted her waist and hurriedly came forward to greet him warmly.
"Brother Zhang, you are here."
Liu Ling is good-looking and knows how to dress up. She is twenty-four years old this year. She has been in business since she was a child. She has been in the business world for many years.
The last time Wei An came to the Sihai Chamber of Commerce, he showed off his Pantian Sect identity token and made generous moves.
The Sihai Chamber of Commerce reciprocated the favor and immediately made him a member.
The purpose of this membership is to enjoy a certain degree of discount when purchasing goods.
According to the rules, only those who have a cumulative consumption of more than 500,000 yuan in the Sihai Chamber of Commerce are eligible to become their members.
Of course, with the big name of Pantian Sect and the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce's wide network of contacts, there is nothing wrong with giving Wei An a membership.
Liu Ling was the one who received Wei An last time. She pulled Wei An to sit down, brought a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, I have news about what you asked about last time."
Wei An raised his eyebrows. The last time he came, in addition to arranging for the Blue Eagle Caravan to deliver a letter to him, he also inquired about the whereabouts of a person.
Chen Wanyi!
About five months ago, Wei An sent Chen Wanyi and her family to Liangzhou. At that time, the conditions were limited, and he only knew that Chen Wanyi and her family would find another way to make a living in Boyang County.
However, Boyang County is very large, including several small cities and dozens of large towns.
Wei An has never known the specific whereabouts of Chen Wanyi, and has lost contact with her.
Until now!
Wei An didn't hesitate at all and said: "The search fee is 40,000 low-grade rough stones. As long as you help me find the person, the money can be settled today."
Liu Ling was overjoyed and said immediately: "We found out that after the Chen family came to Liangzhou, they settled in Shuisha Town, Boyang County and opened a dyeing workshop."
Wei Anxin was overjoyed and nodded: "Now that we have found the person, I would like to ask you to bring Chen Wanyi to the royal city. The cost will be charged separately."
"Easy to say, easy to say."
With a smile on her face, Liu Ling said, "From Boyang County to Wangcheng, if everything goes well, we can get there in ten days."
The two parties discussed the price and finally settled the deal at 70,000 tolls + protection fee.
On this trip, I didn't make any money, but I spent money like water.
So, Wei An and Liu Ling chatted about the business situation and asked about some ways to make a lot of money.
Not long after, there was a sudden commotion at the other end of the reception hall, and a crowd gathered, screaming and cheering.
"What's going on over there?"
Wei An glanced at it and asked casually.
"Oh, someone must be betting on stones." Liu Ling responded.
Gambling on stones?!
Wei Anxin was moved, and immediately stood up and walked over. He pushed aside the crowd, came to the front, and looked intently.
There is a large stone about half a person's height placed on the ground.
At this moment, the big stone has been smashed open, revealing several pieces of luminous metal, which are fiery red and of extraordinary appearance.
[Item: Red Smelted Copper Essence]
[Label: Contains a small amount of impurities, can be purified]
[Rarity: Medium]
[Level: Level 5 Morning Gold]
Liu Ling took a look and introduced: "This stone was dug out from a certain mine. There are many stones in the mine that are hard and difficult for ordinary people to destroy. They may be wrapped with raw stones, or they may be wrapped with some kind of
Rare metals, of course, may be nothing at all.
No one knows what's inside or how much it's worth until it's broken open.
As a result, the stone gambling industry came into being.
Businessmen will buy raw ore at the lowest possible price and then hire warriors to help break it open.
If there is nothing in it, you will lose money, but if there are good things in it, such as medium-grade rough stones, rare materials that can be used to forge treasure phantoms, etc., you can get rich overnight. Therefore, there is a saying that if you don’t open for three years, you will get three if you open for three years.
The saying of the year.”
Liu Ling pointed at the stones on the ground and sighed: "Look, this piece of raw ore has just been broken open, and there are six or seven pieces of 'Red Refined Copper Essence' inside. One pound is worth at least 100,000. The 'Red' here is
The copper smelting essence definitely weighs more than 50 kilograms. Selling it for 5 million is not a big problem. After excluding the cost of 1 million, the net profit is more than 4 million."
Hear this!
Wei An couldn't help but take a deep breath, his heart felt hot, and his eyes lit up.
"Give me a moment, give me a moment!"
At this time, someone brought another big stone and invited an experienced master to break it open.
With a bang, the stone shattered.
Everyone stretched out their heads and looked around. After looking for a long time, they saw that the stone was still stone, and no light came out.
"Waste stone, what a pity, what a pity..."
"The loss is not small. This stone is not light. It would cost 1.5 million yuan to be taken down."
"That's right, so in the stone gambling industry, one will be poor and one will be rich. Some people will make a fortune, while others will lose everything."
During the discussion, Wei An pulled Liu Ling away from the scene and asked carefully about the details of the stone gambling transaction.
"There is a large square in the east of the royal city called 'Shili Cave', which specializes in selling raw ore mined from the mines.
There, stone gamblers selected raw ores based on their own experience and luck.
Then it will be shipped to our Sihai Chamber of Commerce or other chambers of commerce, and a dedicated person will help break it open for free.
Of course, you can also transport it to your home and hire a skilled craftsman to break it open.
The treasures obtained by breaking them open can be sold directly, or they can be auctioned at an auction held once a month."
Liu Ling spoke very carefully.
"Thanks for the advice."
Wei An bowed his hand, asked for a price list of various materials, and quickly left the Sihai Chamber of Commerce.
Run all the way to the "Stone Cave"!
When we arrived at the place, we discovered that Shili Cave was very huge, covering an area of more than thirty acres.
The merchants of Seokli-dong are divided into many groups:
The first type is those who wander around various mineral deposits and purchase newly mined raw ores based on experience, which are called sharp-eyed merchants;
The second category is middlemen, who purchase good-quality raw ore from sharp-eyed merchants and resell them;
The third type is called palm eye, which is specially used for businessmen to identify raw ores. These people have sharp eyesight and use their personal eyesight to judge whether a certain piece of raw ore is valuable. If they guess correctly, they will get dividends. If they guess wrong, they will not be held responsible.
Wei An entered Shili Cave for a walk and found that there were shacks set up in the huge square, where sharp-eyed merchants and middlemen set up stalls to sell raw ore.
"Boss, are you here to look at stones? Do you want me to introduce you to a palm eye?"
"How about Master Qin? He is very famous. A few days ago, he took a piece of raw ore and smashed it into a rare 'golden scorpion stone', which was sold for a high price of eight million."
Wei An was surrounded by several teenagers. They were all helpers here. Sometimes they helped others transport raw ore to earn some physical money, sometimes they worked as guides, and sometimes they also promoted business.
"unnecessary……"
Wei An casually threw a few pieces of rough stone and dispersed the group of scoundrels.
After strolling around the large square in Shilidong, Wei An made his move. He didn't have much capital, only about 400,000, so he selected two small rough stones.
Then, he bought a small stone at random and spent 20,000 yuan to hire a master named Wang to break it open.
He is one of the most famous old masters here, and he is very skilled in stone-breaking skills.
【Simulation starts】
[Master Wang carefully inspected the texture of the original stone mine, and used the unique skills of looking for dragons and moving mountains to unload the mountains to open the original stone mine, without causing any unnecessary damage or accidental losses]
[Reward: Master Lao Wang’s stone-breaking skills]
Suddenly, Wei An mastered the skills of breaking into raw stone mines, and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
Later, Wei An transported the two pieces of raw stone intact to the foot of Pantian Mountain, found a secluded place, and smashed them open himself.
Boom twice!
Two pieces of raw stone were broken into pieces one after another.
After the first piece of raw stone cracked, five colors of light suddenly burst out from inside, and an iron ball emitting a magnificent light came into view.
[Item: Five-color Iron Essence]
[Label: High purity, can be used without purification]
[Rarity: High]
[Level: Level 5 Morning Gold]
Wei An suddenly raised the corner of his mouth. This five-color iron essence is quite rare, and the price starts at 3 million!
Then, the second piece of rough stone was also broken open.
In an instant, a dark and deep light came out, and the surrounding light dimmed a bit.
The luminous object is a dark oval object, which looks like jade but not jade, and looks like iron but not iron. Its surface is covered with dense holes.
[Item: Kongming Stone]
[Tag: Excellent material for forging space-based treasures]
[Rarity: extremely high]
[Level: Level 5 Morning Gold]
Looking at the Kongming Stone, even though Wei An was mentally prepared, he still couldn't help but breathe heavily.
Space-based materials are so rare that the starting price is 10 million. They are high-end goods that can be used as the finale of the auction.
"Haha, I'm rich!"
Wei An quickly put away the Five-Colored Iron Essence and Kongming Stone and returned directly to Pantian Sect.
…
…
It’s May 20th in a blink of an eye!
On this day, Wei An once again chose to take a vacation, left Pantian Sect, and went to the Sihai Chamber of Commerce in the Royal City.
This time he brought the five-color iron essence.
"Brother Zhang, Chen Wanyi has been delivered safely. The girl looks good and nothing happened."
Liu Ling came out with a smile on her face.
"Great, bring her to see her soon." Wei An smiled happily, with a look of anticipation on his face.
After a while, a fourteen-year-old girl was brought to Wei An.
Chen Wanyi is a beautiful woman, with bright eyes and white teeth, slim and charming.
"Who are you?"
When Chen Wanyi saw Wei An, she was immediately stunned. The reason why she came here with the people from the Sihai Chamber of Commerce was because the person who went to pick her up took out a token of her benefactor Ji Canghai.
Who would have thought that the person in front of him was not Ji Canghai.
"Chen Wanyi, it's me."
Wei An blinked at her, revealing a familiar voice.
"Brother Ji, it's really you!!"
As soon as Chen Wanyi heard Wei An's voice, she was immediately convinced that the person in front of her was Ji Canghai.
"What's wrong with your face?" she asked curiously.
Wei An smiled and said: "I used to wear a human skin mask, and this is my true appearance. My current name is Zhang Sanqiao."
I see.
Chen Wanyi looked at Wei An carefully, he was handsome and cold, and her pretty face turned red.
The two sat down to chat alone, and Liu Ling had already walked away.
Wei An continued: "Right now, I am practicing in the Pantian Sect. I brought you here because I want to send you into the sect to practice. Only in this way can you have the opportunity to show your talent and become a strong person!"
Chen Wanyi was overjoyed and solemnly said: "Everything depends on the arrangement of my benefactor, Brother Zhang."
She raised her head and asked: "Can I also join the Pantian Sect? I heard that the Pantian Sect is a large sect and has extremely strict requirements for accepting disciples."
Wei An shook his head and said: "You have already practiced the White Lotus Sword Sutra, and the most suitable place for you to go is the White Lotus Sect. As for how to join the White Lotus Sect, you have to fight for it yourself.
After all, I am a member of the Pantian Sect, and I cannot contact you casually in the future, but I will always support you and provide you with sufficient cultivation resources."
Chen Wanyi was very smart and understood immediately after hearing it, and said: "Okay, I will definitely join the White Lotus Sect and live up to Brother Zhang's expectations."
Wei An nodded and clapped his hands.
Soon, Liu Ling walked in and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, do you have any other instructions?"
Wei Andao: "You have delivered her safely. It's time for me to keep my promise and pay the balance. In addition, I have a good thing to sell."
"Oh, what good stuff?"
Liu Ling blinked, and then a five-color light appeared in her eyes.
Wei An had already taken out a brocade box and opened it.
"Five Colored Iron Essence!!"
Liu Ling knew the goods and recognized them at a glance. She couldn't help but said with emotion: "It's really a good thing. This five-color iron fine is of good quality. It should be able to sell for a good price."
Wei An even said: "Please estimate the price as soon as possible. If the price is right, I will sell it."
"Please wait!"
Liu Ling ran away in a hurry and invited an old man with a white beard to help identify it.
The two communicated in a low voice for a while and then quoted the price: "One price, 3.8 million!"
Liu Ling said solemnly: "Brother Zhang, I can guarantee that our bid is absolutely fair. It is impossible for several other chambers of commerce to give you a higher price."
Wei An smiled slightly.
In fact, before he came to the Sihai Chamber of Commerce, he had already visited several other chambers of commerce and asked about the prices one by one. The highest purchase price given was 3.75 million.
Wei An knew it and nodded happily: "Okay, I'll sell it!"
"Okay!"
Liu Ling was overjoyed.
Chen Wanyi, who was standing aside, was stunned. Just such a stone was sold for 3.8 million?!
The total wealth of the Chen family is only around one million!
