Chapter 9 Big Purchases
The next morning, Qin Feng came out of the hotel room, completed the check-out procedures at the service desk, and went out to rent a car to the airport.
After half a day, his figure reappeared in the downtown area of Binhai. He worked hard in his rental house for a while, and then hurried out.
Since we have a clear and clear goal, there are more things to do. First, we will deal with the gold we got back in batches last time and this time, and there are a total of 3,000 taels.
Due to the large number, it was a bit cumbersome to deal with this time. He used the map query function in his mobile phone to screen all the locations of gold shops in the city, and did not let go of the surrounding towns, and then rented an Audi out.
He ran for more than twenty times. He was cautious and changed his clothes every two or three places to change his clothes, and even changed his car to avoid being noticed by those who are interested. It took more than two days to finally get it all done.
"...I still feel that it is not safe enough, so I can't do this again in the future."
Seeing that the number in his account had become more than 30 million, Qin Feng thought silently. Although no one noticed him for a while, those gold shops were equipped with cameras. Even if they only went there once, it would be difficult to protect the problem over time. After all, some well-known gold shops are chain operations.
So when the next batch of gold is obtained, you can apply for a tourist visa to deal with it abroad. Anyway, the things are placed in the dimensional space, so you don’t have to worry about being discovered when passing through customs.
Back at the warehouse in the suburbs, he once again placed an order of up to 500 tons of flour and rice with the owner of the grain processing plant, with the transaction requirements being the same as last time.
Moreover, the supplies he was going to purchase were not limited to food this time, but also a large amount of steel ingots to supply Zhao Yuanjin to build armor and weapons.
In ancient times when productivity was low, steel and metal production was scarce, which was an absolute hard currency. It was always strictly controlled by the government and court. Whenever troubled times came, separatist vassal states and refugee troops in various places would hoard metals and use them to build swords and soldiers.
Food and weapons are the two most important strategic resources for starting a rebellion. In order to obtain enough iron, some poor warlords and refugee leaders even plunder the spatulas, kitchen knives, iron plows and the like from ordinary people, and melted them into making weapons. This is how the saying "turning plows into swords" came about.
Fortunately, in modern society, steel is also an extremely cheap industrial product. The kind of steel suitable for building cold weapons can be bought for a ton of a few thousand yuan.
Of course, there are also high-end products that are expensive, but Qin Feng doesn't need them. It is the idea that ordinary soldiers can use magic weapons like Zhanlu, Longquan, and Tai'a.
Qin Feng selected a suitable manufacturer online to contact the other party. After the negotiation, he immediately placed an order of 300 tons of steel ingots, and still asked the other party to deliver the goods to his door and be responsible for loading and unloading.
For China, which has the world's largest steel production, this trading volume is also drizzling and is not worth mentioning.
Next was to purchase medicines. Qin Feng chose a company on Taobao and ordered Yunnan Baiyao, Panax notoginseng tablets, cotton gauze, and various anti-inflammatory and antibiotic drugs worth three million in one go. Basically, they are oral and topical drugs, and they are exempted from injections, and no one can use that thing when you take it over.
These medicines are also very cheap and common in this world, but after being shipped to another world, they are life-saving pills, which can at least get him back more than ten times the profit.
The last and most important thing is to purchase silver and bring it to another world to exchange for gold. Qin Feng picked up several reputable stores on Taobao and placed orders of up to 1,000 kilograms in batches.
At this time, the benefits of being in China were reflected. The billions of population size, terrible productivity, and a stable environment led to a huge and prosperous market. So much so that the various resources needed by Qin Feng were extremely sufficient and cheap, and the purchase process was convenient and fast. After browsing orders and paying the bills online, you could wait for the receipt of the goods, and you didn't have to worry about anything else.
After working hard, two more days passed, and grain, steel and medicine arrived one after another, while silver was the last one.
At this time, Qin Feng had already taken a break from his busy schedule and moved his house. He returned the original cheap rental house and rented a villa in a high-end residential area near the Qingpu River. It has a separate courtyard and garage. The environment is quiet and privacy protection measures are in place. There will be no illegitimate landlords who come to harass each other every now and then.
That's it now. After the future wealth exceeds 100 million, Qin Feng plans to buy a luxury house that truly belongs to him.
"...Mr. Qin, the package you want has been delivered."
The voice of the SF Express courier came from the phone. Qin Feng thanked him politely, asked the other party to wait, and then got up and left the villa.
After walking along the clean and tidy tree-lined path for a few minutes, I saw from a distance that the double-row sealed container truck with SF Express logo was already waiting at the door.
Qin Feng spoke to the security guard at the door, and after signing, he opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat, guided the driver to drive inside, and directly into the villa gate.
In the garage, two couriers and the driver jumped out of the car, opened the door of the container at the back, and moved the black boxes that were tightly sealed down.
Each box is not large in size, but its weight is quite heavy. Without exception, the box has the words and marks of metal crafts printed on it, which Qin Feng deliberately requested.
After unloading all fifty boxes, Qin Feng casually pulled a few boxes to open them, and found that they were all thirty centimeters long and cut square silver bars, and the weight was not bad.
In the modern world, silver is just an ordinary industrial metal, but in the ancient world, this thing represents extraordinary wealth. You can buy one acre of land for ten taels of silver; you can buy a smart and well-behaved maid with a bed-warming maid with thirty taels of silver.
If you have 300 taels of silver, you can buy a beautiful girl who is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has a good figure and appearance. She is also a gentleman who sells her skills but not her body. If you have 300 taels of silver, you can buy a gorgeous mansion of a large scale in the city.
But in China in the real world, there is no need to mention how expensive the land price is and how outrageous the housing price is. The bride price is an exaggeration than the other. It has exhausted all my life and my parents' savings, and I can only marry someone who is unsatisfactory. My personality and temper are not worthy of compliment. The other person's name must be added to the property. In short, it will be tears if I say too much.
He sighed in his heart. After Qin Feng finished the inspection and confirmed the correctness, he signed the delivery note with satisfaction, and the transaction was completed successfully.
Of course, these materials will not be taken over at once, but will be supplied in batches. After all, Zhao Yuanjin only has a county town left in his territory. If too many good things suddenly appear on his hand, it may leak the news and cause unnecessary trouble.
...
Another world, the imperial capital Luojing.
The majestic and magnificent imperial city is located on the central axis of the city. The sunset shines on the spot, the red walls and golden tiles exude awe-inspiring majesty.
On the side of the imperial road, two rows of cold-looking guards stood straight and motionless. Occasionally, there would be scattered officials passing by in groups of three or five.
Although it was the end of the dynasty, the imperial capital was the best place, and the control and influence of the court were still quite strong. No one dared to make noise at will in this important center of power in the world.
In the political affairs hall where important officials of the cabinet discuss official affairs.
"Bang!"
A copper qilin paperweight was thrown away and hit the floor tiles, making a dull impact sound, which made several young civil servants on both sides feel silent and dared not come out.
"What the hell is going on?"
A slightly fat man in purple robe with a majestic face and gray hair threw the memorial in his hand on the table, and asked with a blue face: "The good battle situation collapsed like this? Meng Luo died in an unknown way, and more than ten generals died in an unknown way. What kind of evil means did that damn Zhao Yuanjin use? He actually damaged so many generals in the court in one go?"
The civil servants looked at each other, and no one said anything.
Meng Luo is one of the few good generals in the court today. He was originally asked to lead his troops to fight in order to wipe out the rebel bandits in Jingzhou in the shortest possible time, and then support the nearby prefectures and counties.
As long as Meng Luo can join forces with several other troops and work together to pacify the Jiangnan region, the largest source of taxation of the court can restore stability. Only the boiling and turbulent world is expected to settle again and the court's revival is expected.
