Chapter 05: Chapter 5 Silver Number
"hiss...!"
The shopkeeper took three breaths in a row, and his hands trembled a little when he looked at the three treasures in front of him.
The size of each treasure is not small, at least to the knowledge of the shopkeeper, I have never seen such a big object.
Jiang Lin was nervous at first, fearing that the shopkeeper would see something, but the shopkeeper had never seen modern craftsmanship before, and he just kept praising him.
"What a rarity."
He asked with a somewhat tentative voice: "I wonder what the price of the three treasures of the master is?"
Jiang Lin looked at the shopkeeper's expression and said somewhat insincerely: "I brought it to ask the shopkeeper for a price. Of course, the shopkeeper will give the number."
The old shopkeeper was also a shrewd man, so he didn't know that Jiang Lin had no idea, so he rolled his eyes and said: "In that case, I will pay 30,000 for the agate, 20,000 for the jade, and 50,000 for the Hotan jade."
, which adds up to exactly 100,000 oceans, how about it?"
He looked at Jiang Lin expectantly, with a hint of eagerness in his eyes.
Jiang Lin chuckled, and suddenly saw through the shopkeeper's background. This kind of bidding is very common in modern times. The shopkeeper's bid was at least about half less, in order to have room for negotiation.
However, Jiang Lin didn't have time to bargain with the shopkeeper, so he said directly: "One price, 150,000 oceans."
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up and he quickly made a decision: "Okay, it's settled. I'll get you the contract and the banknote right away."
"Shun'er, serve tea to the master, serve him good tea, and serve him well."
"Yes, from the shopkeeper." The waiter hurriedly took out the good tea and brewed it for Jiang Lin.
Of course, there is not so much money in this pawn shop. Most of the shopkeepers went to Ren's house to withdraw money.
Seeing the shopkeeper's behavior, Jiang Chengdong hesitated to speak to Jiang Lin, but in the end he didn't say much.
How did he know that Jiang Lin deliberately gave the shopkeeper a profit, otherwise he would be too harsh in bargaining, and it would be annoying if other things were involved. In this case, why not be more generous and avoid many troubles?
.
"Don't worry, Brother Dong, I'm measured."
The shopkeeper didn't let Jiang Lin wait for too long. After just four cups of jasmine tea produced in Suzhou, the shopkeeper had already returned with the Yamen's contract and banknotes, carefully placing them in his bag.
The reason why we made the contract is because these three things are so precious that the shopkeeper cannot be careless.
With a smile on his face, the shopkeeper showed Jiang Lin the contract in the bag first. After confirming that there was no problem, the two of them formally signed their names.
Then, I saw the shopkeeper exhale completely, and his whole body seemed to relax a lot.
"Have a laugh." The shopkeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then took out fifteen 10,000-yuan banknotes from Lao Baocheng Bank from the bag.
"This is Lao Baocheng's banknote. You can withdraw money by showing it."
Jiang Lin winked at Xiao San'er, who immediately understood and walked forward to take the banknote from the shopkeeper's hand.
He looked at it carefully and handed it to Jiang Chengdong. Although Jiang Chengdong had never touched the ten thousand yuan banknote, he had seen other banknotes from Lao Baocheng, and they were indeed real.
After reading it, Jiang Chengdong handed the banknote to Jiang Lin and whispered: "It's true."
Jiang Lin felt relieved and a smile appeared on his lips.
"Shopkeeper, since the money has been given, these three treasures are yours." After saying this, he motioned to Jiang Chengshan, who was in charge of the three treasures, to hand them over to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper quickly took the baby from Chengshan's hand and held it carefully, for fear of bumping it.
Jiang Lin didn't pay attention to the shopkeeper. He took the money and led everyone out.
The people following Jiang Lin couldn't hold it in any longer. They looked at Jiang Lin with red faces and said, "Brother Lin, 150,000 oceans, a whole 150,000 oceans!"
Several people whispered, afraid of being heard, so their faces were suppressed and turned red, almost turning blue.
Even Jiang Chengdong, the son of the head of the Jiang family, has never seen so much money in his life. The family's shop can only earn a thousand yuan or 150,000 yuan a year at most. How many years does it take for the shop to operate?
?Fifty years or a hundred years?
Seeing everyone's excitement, Jiang Lin didn't think anything, maybe because he was holding only banknotes.
"Brother Dong, if I want to exchange it for gold, how much can I exchange for these oceans?"
What Jiang Lin wants is to exchange the silver notes into gold. In this case, he can truly bring the money back to modern times, and he will no longer have to worry about money from now on.
Unfortunately, Jiang Chengdong felt a little embarrassed when he touched his head.
"Brother Lin, I don't know about this. You know, our clan has never had any need for gold. We have never come into contact with it."
Yes, in this era, how can ordinary people come into contact with gold? Most ordinary people use copper coins, small foreign coins, half-open coins, and even silver coins are rarely used, let alone gold and silver. Those are big shots, big people.
Only rich people use it.
Jiang Lin nodded and said:
"Well, in that case, let's go to Lao Baocheng Bank to have a look and exchange these banknotes. Banknotes with too large a face value are not easy to use."
Lao Baocheng Bank was founded in Shenjiang, and the one in Shanyin was just a semicolon, but even such a semicolon was much heavier than other banks.
Looking at the gate with many people lined up, Jiang Lin realized that banks in this era already have such a level of trust, and the fact that so many people come to the bank shows that there are still many rich people.
Although most of the 40 million people are poor people, under such a base, how can there be so few wealthy people.
Seeing Xiao San'er preparing to jump in line, Jiang Lin quickly stopped him.
With the effort of a stick of incense, it was already Jiang Lin's turn.
Looking at the people next to Jiang Lin, the man was obviously shocked.
"Master is coming?"
"I'm here to change money."
With that said, Jiang Lin first took out a 10,000 yuan check. The clerk was dumbfounded when he saw it, and quickly stood up and said hello: "I'm sorry, sir, you have to handle this matter in the VIP building."
Jiang Lin became interested. This bank account was so advanced that it even had a VIP floor.
"It seems that rich people are treated the same wherever they go."
Jiang Lin didn't resist or anything, and followed the guy to the attic nearby.
"Third Master, a distinguished guest has arrived." The waiter called, and then there was a call from the attic.
"Sir, please come in." Opening the door, the clerk guided Jiang Lin in. Jiang Lin was followed by Jiang Chengdong and Jiang Chengshan. The shotgun was a bit eye-catching, making the clerk tremble.
In the attic, there was a large living room. A rather blessed middle-aged man came over and said with a smile on his face: "Welcome distinguished guests, please take a seat, please take a seat."
Then, he waved his hand to the guy and said, "Go down."
After Jiang and Lin were seated, the man introduced himself: "My dear Zhu Jun, Tian is the manager of the bank. What do you call this distinguished guest?"
"Nanming Jiang Family, Jiang Lin."
Zhu Jun's eyes rolled around: "It turns out to be from the Jiang family. Mr. Jiang came to Lao Baocheng to deposit or withdraw?"
Jiang Lin smiled slightly: "Get it, but it's not an ordinary way to get it."
"Oh? I'd like to hear the details." Zhu Jun cupped his hands and said.
"I don't dare. I want to exchange the silver notes for some small noodles and some gold."
When Zhu Jun heard this, he understood the small-faced silver notes, but exchanging them for gold was a bit rare.
Bandits are very rampant these days, and there are many robberies. Something as obvious as putting money on someone's body in exchange for gold can become bait in the fish pond. If you are not careful, you may lose both your life and money.
This young man is really brave.
However, doing business means doing whatever you want. Zhu Jun did not refuse and just said: "Yes, Mr. Jiang, but I have to agree in advance that if I exchange these silver coins for gold, it will be thirty-five for one tael."
