In the dark cave, Kitahara Shuji looked at the short Fuyumi Haruna sisters, who were about the same size. His eyes slowly softened - to be honest, it felt good to be trusted by others.
But Dongmei couldn't care less about him, so she packed a small bag of gold sand, and looked at the stone nest with some regret: there was only a shallow layer, and it was gone after only a small amount. But she soon became happy again.
, after all, we got gold.
This is gold!
She weighed the small bag excitedly. She felt that the bag was not big but it was surprisingly heavy on her hands. It was a bit difficult to throw it with one hand. She couldn't help but asked happily: "How much can it be worth?"
Kitahara Shuji took it directly and tried the portion. Seeing the excitement on the little carrot head's face, he smiled helplessly and asked: "Do you want to hear the truth?"
"Of course you have to listen to the truth! Is it worth a house?"
Kitahara Shuji grabbed a handful of rough gold sand, looked at the sparkling gold and charming halo under the light, and then looked at Fuyumi's expectant little face. He couldn't bear to hurt her, and paused before saying: "It's probably
Can you buy a toilet..."
Fuyumi said in shock: "Toilet?!"
Kitahara Shuji nodded and comforted: "The toilet in a high-end apartment!"
It cannot be said that the Fukuzawa family's heirloom "Golden Nest" is worthless, and even Fukuzawa Naobei would not risk his life to snatch it, but this thing has several fatal shortcomings.
First, the price of gold fluctuates. At its highest, it is as high as nearly 2,000 US dollars per ounce, and at its lowest, it is only more than 250 US dollars per ounce. The difference is nearly eight times. According to the information Kitahara Hideji gets from reading newspapers, the current gold price is far from a historical low.
The point is not too far away - Naotaka Fukuzawa must have been heartbroken when he dug out gold a few years ago, when the price of gold was at its lowest point in history.
Second, it is true that this "gold nest" can automatically pan for gold, but the gold veins that the underground water flows through are very likely to be very barren, and the gold sand accumulates very slowly. According to the statement on the scroll, it is best to dig out every four to five years.
You can pay it all at once.
Third, the purchasing power of gold and other precious metals is gradually declining with the development of the times. For example, a thousand years ago, not to mention gold, just two taels of silver could buy an acre of land or a wife, and an average family of three
, two taels of silver can lead to a year of living on white rice, but in modern society, two taels of silver can only buy a piece of land as big as a toilet seat, or treat a girlfriend to a big meal. As for life, one can barely live alone.
Live for half a month!
Of course, in addition to these shortcomings, this "golden nest" also has advantages - it cannot make people get rich overnight, but it is a good thing with a long-term flow, which is enough to support the long-term stable development of a family and provide long-term blood supply to the family.
.
This is how the Fukuzawa family can live a more decent life. Otherwise, look at the appearance of the Fukuzawa Naotaka brothers. Maybe this family specializes in swordsmanship. For more than a hundred years, several generations have been fighting bravely and showing off their ruthlessness.
They don't know how to run a business at all. In other words, they have such a stable income that they can earn for nothing on a regular basis. This has made several generations of people have no ambition to get rich and live a middle-class life.
Naotaka Fukuzawa deceived his wife, a talented woman, and thus improved his genes. However, the gang of salty eggs headed by Little Carrot Head were still very fierce, and they often got into group fights since they were young.
Fuyumi looked at Jinsha suspiciously, and then at Kitahara Shuji - are you kidding me? This is gold, and it's only worth a luxurious toilet?
She asked unhappily: "How much is it worth?"
Kitahara Shuji returned the bag to her and said with a smile: "It's probably worth about seven to eight million yen now!"
This gold sand is quite affordable. If it were pure gold, it might cost over 10 million yen, but unfortunately it is not. There must be impurities in it, maybe mithril, which is platinum that is often crowded together with gold, and maybe there are some other things.
The messy impurities definitely need to be refined, and these can only be done through places like gold shops. People must also make some money. I think eight million yen is almost the limit - if you have the patience to put it aside for ten or eight years,
, maybe the price can go up a few bucks.
"Is it worth this little?" Fuyumi's little face wrinkled.
Haruna couldn't help but said: "It's quite a lot, eldest sister!"
This is basically the entire income of a senior white-collar worker for a year. Although the family has a larger number of people, they can barely maintain their lives with this amount of money. And if it is placed in a family of three, they might still be able to live quite well.
.
Fuyumi glanced at Kitahara Shuji dejectedly, this family heirloom was not as valuable as this kid.
Now she is in charge of the general ledger at home, and Suzuki Noki, who has been used as a waste, is in charge of the running account, and she is the only one in the family who knows how strong Kitahara Shuji's ability to attract money is.
Kitahara Hideji also advised her: "The market is just not good now, and the value of the golden nest is that it is passed down from generation to generation. The family will never starve or freeze. It is already very good."
This greedy carrot head, this thing makes everyone jealous. If you have this thing, you will basically have a worry-free life, and your children and grandchildren will be worry-free. The entire family is basically financially free, and you can just eat and wait until death. What else can you do?
What do you want? Do you want to be rich after digging it all in one go?
If I could make a huge fortune at once, would it be your family's turn?
Fuyumi didn't think so, mainly because there was no harm without comparison. She felt that the heirloom was not as powerful as Kitahara Shuji. She turned to look at the golden nest and hesitated: "Shall we dig this nest bigger?"
Digging bigger may increase the gold sand output rate.
Kitahara Shuji was speechless. You can't be so greedy. If you dig this miraculous work of nature for you, won't you be afraid that when you come back in the future, there won't even be a hair here?
He held Fuyumi's collar and said angrily: "Don't do anything stupid, it's too cold here, let's go out first."
In other words, Fuyumi said that she would not dare to dig even bigger. If the digging failed, she would be the sinner of the Fukuzawa family. Without any resistance, Kitahara Shuji took her by the collar and threw her into the water. The three of them
We swam out again and soon saw Xueli who was guarding the edge of the waterhole with great vigilance, and then changed clothes first to keep warm.
The two girls wanted to change clothes, so they found a small bush for cover, and even drove Kitahara Shuji away to another place - Fuyumi didn't trust him in this kind of thing - Yukiri gave her sister and
My sister wrapped herself in a dry blanket again and asked curiously: "Sister, have you found the family heirloom?"
"I found it, here it is!" Fuyumi handed the gold to Xueli, and Xueli was very happy to see the gold sand. She felt that with this thing, everyone would not have to work so hard, and would be exhausted every night.
She asked cheerfully: "It should be very valuable, right?"
Fuyumi huddled in the blanket and glanced at her, saying depressedly: "It's not as valuable as I thought!"
Xueli gave her a strange look and asked in confusion: "Are you unhappy, sister?"
Fuyumi sighed, becoming even more depressed, and muttered: "I'm not unhappy, I just suddenly made a comparison and felt that that kid is so awesome, I may never be able to beat him in my life."
Yuki nodded in agreement: "Hidetsu is very powerful. It's normal that my sister can't win. It's natural. Let it take its course. Don't be sad... But why did my sister say that?"
Fuyumi needs to be naked right now, otherwise she will be beaten by Yuki - this worthless thing, a person must never admit defeat, you just can't learn it because you don't have the resilience!
But now she couldn't do anything, so she could only give Xueli a hard look and said angrily: "I never told you before, do you know how much money that kid can earn in a year?"
Haruna was thinking next to her when she heard the voice and came over, curiously asking: "How much can you earn, eldest sister?"
Fuyumi said depressedly: "He made more than 23 million yen in less than half a year by relying on our small shop that was about to close down. We divided it into 70% and got nearly 15 million yen...
I didn’t file the tax, and when I file the tax, about 30% will be deducted. I plan to bear the tax as our family, without him having to pay for it, but this will leave more than 9 million yen. He can earn more in half a year than our family heirloom can produce in a year.
many."
She had calculated that if Kitahara Shuji continued to work like this, at the end of three years, not only would he be able to easily support their family, but he would also be able to save enough money for all six of them to go to college and their living expenses during college.
Student loans are saved, making the beginning of their lives stress-free.
In fact, she is not angry that Kitahara Shuji can make money, but she can't understand - we are all the same age and only sixteen years old, why is it so easy for you to make money! Am I just that far behind you?
She had always been dissatisfied, but suddenly she realized that it was not possible to dissatisfy.
Haruna also raised her eyebrows in surprise. Whenever she opened a store, she would always stand next to Kitahara Shuji. She watched him rip off customers ruthlessly, often doing things like selling two pear carvings as a basket of pears, but
I never thought I could get so much money...
She hesitated and said, "Then without us, wouldn't Onisang be able to earn a house a year?"
A mid-range apartment of about 100 square meters is worth only 40 to 50 million yen... It feels like I owe more and more!
Fuyumi nodded, but didn't want to talk about this topic. This was too sad - she began to doubt that she would never be able to beat Kitahara Shuji once in her life. As everyone gets older, Kitahara Shuci will become stronger and stronger, and she
There is no way to catch up with him.
Now he looks at himself through his nostrils. In three years he may look at himself through his belly button, and in ten years he may look at himself through the corns on his feet...
Feeling depressed, she changed the subject and asked: "What were you thinking about just now, Haruna? Are you thinking about how to use the gold?"
Haruna shook her head and said quietly: "It's up to my eldest sister to decide how to use the gold. I support it. I'm just thinking that our family has withdrawn gold for generations. Where did the gold go?"
Fuyumi unexpectedly changed the topic and still made her depressed, and said angrily: "You were born late, and you didn't know a lot of things before! Our grandfather used to invest in stocks and real estate in the 1989s and 1990s. He encountered the stock market crash and lost money.
I was completely turned upside down, and then I moved to Nagoya... I also heard what my mother said, and she didn't know the details. She wasn't married at that time, but it seems that our grandfather was immediately pissed off."
That was when Japan's economy was at its peak. All the people were investing, the economy was extremely active, and the real estate industry was booming. They were preparing to buy the United States in one fell swoop and become the world's economic leader. However, they were given a blow in the head by hot money groups commanded by the United States. Until now.
I haven’t caught my breath yet!
Haruna was speechless. We have no business talent in our family. I feel like there is no compensation for what I do... Fortunately, my father did the right thing in the end and brought back the real "gold nest" of Kitahara Nissan.
A hen with golden eggs, otherwise her life would be difficult just by producing a little gold in the hole.
Her eyes wandered around the eldest and second sisters, thinking about how to secure this real "golden nest".
It's not that she is greedy for vanity, but she hopes that her sisters, especially the eldest sister, can be happy. It's better to marry a husband who can make money and value friendship, than to marry a pretty boy who needs to be supported by her sisters!
Having money may not necessarily make you happy, but it is definitely easier than being happy without money.
