Chapter 31 Huge Profits

 The next day, a smiling face appeared in the sky that had not been clear for a long time.

 Wearing gorgeous purple jade, thirty egg-sized gems were placed in two ebony boxes, with black velvet as the base, and stuck on the brackets.

 The brilliant gemstones are exceptionally bright in the dark box, making people fall in love with them at first sight.

Such a large and high-quality gemstone, even purple jade, will be rare in later generations. Its value is as high as tens of millions per piece, and it is a jewelry sought after by many powerful women.

Ziyu stood at the window and looked at the Zhenbao Building diagonally opposite. The clerk was cleaning the newly opened store in an orderly manner.

Standing at the door were a lean man and a woman, their hawk-like eyes looking at everyone who passed by the door.

 Ziyu put a box of gems into the space and took out an exquisite handbag containing the ebony box.

The bright gems shone dazzlingly in the candlelight, and the shopkeeper's long nails unconsciously left a shallow scratch on the armrest of the chair.

 “Sir, please take a seat in the guest room!”

The female waiter at the door fell on the dagger on Ziyu's waist, her falcon-like eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile.

 “Twenty-two thousand taels of gold, no more!”

 Ziyu calmly glanced at the splendid decoration in the store. The store sign opposite the door was covered with gold foil, which was unusually grand and luxurious.

Sending a gemstone of this quality into the palace of a prince will create a network of people far beyond that of gold and silver.

 “The deal is done, I only need money and receipts, and I will pack two plates of children’s gold and silver jewelry.”

Ziyu patted the exquisite bag in her hand suggestively, and took another look at the trays of jewelry on the glass counter.

The waiter bends down and respectfully invites the person to sit down in the guest room. After delivering the tea, snacks and heater one by one, he exits the guest room.

It is an eternal truth that rich people and women make money easily.

 Ziyu just wanted to give her a big roll of her eyes when she heard the salesman's advertising slogan that was similar to that of later generations.

 In the next week, Ziyu went in and out of various major banks, exchanging only a few hundred taels of gold each time, and all the accumulated money was taken into her space.

The shopkeeper's excited heart beat out of her chest. As the shopkeeper of the Treasure House, she had seen countless jewelry and treasures.     But I still saw many good and many gemstones with a full range of colors at one time.

The gold jewelry in the glass counter is inlaid with lifelike flowers and birds, and its exquisite workmanship can be regarded as a work of art in later generations.

The shopkeeper reluctantly looked away from the box, but he did not leave the corner of his eye, for fear that a wrong eye would lead to a mistake.

 There is only one of them in the world, there is no similarity! "

 She could buy three and a half bags of rubble for twenty taels, and her worth would have doubled if she moved to another place.

Ziyu didn’t give a single thought to the waiter, and staggered out of the Full Moon Building and headed straight for the Zhenbao Building opposite.

“Oh, no wonder the magpies came to the door early this morning. It turns out that there are distinguished guests coming to the door.”

 Speaking, he took out the ebony box in his handbag, opened it, and turned to the shopkeeper with his hair full of pearls.

Zi Yu, who stopped wandering around, returned to the inn and leaned against the window to plan her departure. However, she saw a few unfamiliar faces lingering at the door of the inn.

While wandering around a gambling house, I overheard someone talking about the best gemstones on the market, which were sold for 50,000 taels of silver each.

The next day, Ziyu used the same method to sell the remaining fifteen gems at Tianxia Pavilion for thirty-five thousand taels of gold.

 Ziyu secretly raised the price a lot, leaving room for bargaining for the shopkeeper.

 Ziyu’s hand holding the tea cover paused. She didn’t expect that the shopkeeper of Zhenbaolou was such a passionate woman.

Ziyu saw all the subtle expressions of the shopkeeper in her eyes and started talking at the right time.

 A gold bracelet with a wide mouth is set with a circle of red, green and blue rubies.

Ziyu secretly spat, knowing that the opportunity she had been waiting for had come.

 “Help me, the shopkeeper!” Ziyu said straight to the point.

 “No need, I want to experience the folk customs.”

“Fifteen top-quality gemstones from overseas, each as big as an egg, with bright colors that can only be found but not sought.”

“No matter how beautiful a person is, they are still profiteers!”

"Hold on!"

 The shopkeeper is already thinking about which houses he will send these top-quality gems to for his wife and young lady to choose from.

It was already an hour later when Ziyu, carrying a box of jewelry, was respectfully sent out of the treasure building by the shopkeeper himself.

“This bracelet is good, how do you sell it?” Ziyu stopped in front of the glass counter and pointed with her slender fingers.

Ziyu sat at the tea table, sloshing the Maojian tea in the cup with the tea lid.

 “Haha, you can’t be here for me!”

Ziyu thought of the 57,000 taels of gold in her hand. The wealth was really touching.

●While wandering around here, the price of food in Yundu has not dropped.

 “How do you want to take action, Master?”

 At the high counter, the shopkeeper carefully compared the words on the golden ticket and glanced at the young man in gorgeous clothes.

“Young man, please go and invite me. Master, please sit inside for a while.”

 It is true that no matter what era, banks and banks are the most profitable industries.

With a flick of his sleeves, he swaggered downstairs, the dagger inlaid with gems on his waist swinging with his steps. The waiter who was waiting outside the door in the early morning looked at him with eyes wide open.

There was a crisp sound of collision, accompanied by the fragrance of orchids, and the elegant woman sat down opposite, without losing the slightest bit of shrewdness.

When Ziyu went out with 97 taels of gold on her back, her heart ached when she thought of the 3 taels of handling fee.

  No wonder so many people don’t like to carry cash because they charge a 3% handling fee every time they go in or out. No matter how rich you are, you can’t afford it!

 …

 “Sir, let’s discuss it further!” the shopkeeper said eagerly.

If the shopkeeper doesn't like it, I think the Tianxia Pavilion opposite will like it. "

“A box of twenty-five thousand taels of gold is not just for sale.

 Gold jewelry is not generally inlaid with pearls or gemstones, but the particles are as big as the broken gemstones she bought.

"Shopkeeper, exchange it for one hundred taels of gold." Ziyu took out a gold ticket of one hundred taels and said.

Those people would follow the young man who came out of the inn for a distance, their purple jade eyes flashing slightly.

 …

Ziyu did not go back to the inn directly, but wandered around Xiangfu Street with the box in hand. She walked into Qiantong Bank without finding anyone following her.

“Twenty thousand taels of gold, now our store is going bankrupt, the master must leave a mouthful of food for the slave family!”

“Sir, would you like breakfast? Our store can also provide you with a luxury carriage.”

 Sold seven thousand taels of gold more than expected. The purple jade was sold when it was good, and he also took advantage of it to spend some money in the store.

"Yes, Not Bad!

 Call your shopkeeper out and discuss business with him! "

This scene was all seen by the attentive Ziyu. The corners of her lips were slightly raised, and she calmly and slowly reached out to pick up the box.

“Young Master, this bracelet is called Wealthy Man Tian, ​​888 taels.

 Zi Yu, who changed into poor clothes, quietly settled the bill, drove the mule cart and left swaggeringly through the back door as if pulling goods.

Those squatting in front would never have thought that a rich young man would leave through the back door as a poor man.
