Chapter 20: Be prepared for danger in times of peace
As soon as I got home in the evening, I called Guo Shaoan: "Is it easy to exchange silver for gold now? What ratio?"
"Overall money shops are fine, and if they exchange, they will be 10 for 1."
"Why didn't you see a money shop in Shanghai?"
"The county town in Shanghai is too small, with a total of only 10,000 or 20,000 people. If the money house cannot make money, it will not come. If the young master exchanges gold, he should go to Songjiang Mansion, which is closest to us and has waterways, which is convenient for coming and going!"
"Okay, I'll give you one thousand taels tomorrow. You can take someone to Songjiang to help me exchange it for gold!"
Li Bin also had the intention of gradually testing Guo Shaoan and his group. In the future, he still had a lot of things to recruit people, and the amount would gradually increase, but he could not go out to do it himself every time, and he would always have to slowly cultivate a few reliable people.
This time it was a test. Now he can afford to lose 1,000 taels, so it doesn't matter if he is taken. After Guo Shaoan comes back, these people can slowly put on burdens with them and ask them to help him deal with the chores of purchasing raw materials and recruiting workers.
After explaining the matter, the two continued to start the accounting course. First of all, of course, they started with Arabic numerals, but Li Bin was very terrified. He told Guo Shaoan that this was the Nanhua numeral!
Li Bin sneered: Nothing is left in Newton's law or Gaussian theorem! Let you be crazy!
Guo Shaoan had a foundation in keeping accounts, just learning ten numbers. Now Li Bin's account book is also very simple, it is just the income from selling mirrors, the living expenses, and the salary given to the staff has not started to be paid, and then there are these project payments. There is no need to file taxes or do five insurances and one fund. Of course, it is fast to learn. It's already basically started in two days!
This time when he was going back, he brought some gold to his modern account and brought some safety equipment to him. As the mirror officially started selling, a large amount of silver flowed in, and more and more people staring at him!
It is necessary to set up a surveillance alarm system with night vision in advance! He is not an iron man, he needs to sleep and rest! These six guards cannot be fully trusted!
The next day when Guo Shaoan went out, Li Bin asked him to take Long Changsheng with him! Long Changsheng is the youngest among the six of them. According to Li Bin's observation, he is very satisfied with his current life and is very active in doing things. He is always busy with everything. Li Bin has already regarded him as the focus of training.
The other few are still not visible at the moment. Although they are also dedicated, Li Bin always feels that they are just general professional ethics. To be honest, it is a dream!
The time is still short, and everyone can slowly cultivate trust. Li Bin is not very anxious. These are all from Kong Youde's rebels, and I believe they will find it difficult to find a better place for a while!
Before night was still there, Guo Shaoan and the others were waiting for the dusty Guo. It seemed that they had been rushing all the way to come back so early!
"Young Master, I've changed it back! The shopkeeper of the money shop said that if you need it in the future, you can change it!"
At this time in the Ming Dynasty, one tael of gold was exchanged for ten taels of silver, and one tael of gold was exchanged for six taels of silver in Japan. So the money dealer business was very fond of customers who liked to exchange gold!
Li Bin also considered it more cost-effective to bring calligraphy and painting antiques to modern times. But he was afraid that the Ming Dynasty would not have time to be baptized by time and was considered fake, and secondly, he had no good channels to take action now!
In modern society, he is an ordinary college student from rural background, but he has no background friends! He is not as good as gold with ordinary Tang and Song antiques! At least he can do this thing casually!
The next morning, Li Bin had breakfast and told Sister Zhang to take good care of Tuantuan. She had something to deal with in the study today. She didn't have to call him to eat, so she turned around and went into the study!
Lock the door and travel to my modern study, it feels like a different world!
He took out his cell phone, no phone or WeChat. He didn't make friends in college, and there were not many relatives at home. After his parents passed away, he had even more difficulty going out. He just occasionally went to his uncle's house to sit, so it was normal that no one looked for him!
He went downstairs to take a taxi and went straight to Wuhan. He had to deal with the gold today and buy a security monitoring system. He was very busy!
The Ming Dynasty had about 100 taels of gold and 3,800 grams. He ran to four places to recover gold before taking action. The price of gold is high now. Although his gold purity is not very good, he basically gave a price of 330, and he recovered 1.25 million Chinese coins in one wave. All the previous investments have been back!
Time travel is indeed a good business!
This time, the monitoring system he purchased and a 75-inch TV used for monitors was not enough for 300 kilograms. He simply brought his laptop and laser printer. After thinking about it, he added a box of paper, and then he satisfactorily put it back to the Ming Dynasty!
He will be busy installing the monitoring system in the next two days!
The infrared night vision function of dozens of cameras I bought is a must, and the infrared overturning alarms are also installed on all four walls. The killer is the eight 200 decibels he bought. This thing costs only a few thousand yuan per piece. The boss swears that the full refund is not enough.
You have to buy such good babies. Li Bin bought eight of them with a wave of his hand! He is going to give those who come to play with him without any invitation!
Two were installed on one wall on four courtyard walls. When he tried the machine, he only dared to minimize the power.
Li Bin was responsible for the command, and the four guards at home were responsible for the operation. In two days, four of them learned to use electric drills and screw screws to connect wires!
They didn't dare to ask what this came from! It was roughly the case that when you saw the boss walking out of the office compartment, you would never be stupid enough to come up and ask who the beauty is, and what relationship is with the boss!
The power supply is the four solar panels removed from the tricycle and the two batteries on the tricycle. Now the weather is getting warmer and there is enough power. These things are not power-consuming things!
After all, Shanghai County is a county town with city walls, so there is no need to worry about someone forcing him to attack!
Now that Li Bin has this set of things, he is not afraid of someone coming with him! The eight 200 decibels are enough to make the uninvited guy dizzy, and then he is waiting for Li Bin to name one by one!
"How about it, what news have you heard in the past few days?"
Li Bin didn't expect that what he was waiting for was not the kind he wanted!
"Sir, I've found out clearly. Juren Li is now living in Shanghai County. I sent someone to find out the truth two days ago. I've heard of him in the county town. After all, there are not many fools who buy more than 10,000 acres of wasteland at a time. He now lives in Dongcheng, a small courtyard with two two-entry servants. The housekeeper takes two servants at the construction site. There are only four guards at home, one accounting room, and two women and three dolls!"
"Can you find out how much cash he has?"
"I haven't heard of him buying any other industries except this piece of wasteland and the yard where he lives now. The project payments on the wasteland are still nearly 10,000 taels, so he must prepare this money. In addition, I heard from the craftsmen that Li Bin also urged them to complete the construction soon. There was a farm and workshop for them to build it. This is another large amount of money! He must have to keep the money and turn it around later. I guess he still has at least 30,000 to 40,000 taels of silver in his hand!"
"so much?"
Peng Yongde's black face turned a little red. Although salt makes money, it's just relative! How much can I boil reeds by boiling them all over the year after boiling them all over the iron pot?
No matter how expensive the salt is, it is useless to have no yield! He tried hard to squeeze the military households in his hand, but he could only save three or five thousand taels a year! Now there is a wealth he earns in ten years, so how could he not be so angry!
"Sir, we are not good at doing it in the county town now. If we wait for him to move here, we can do it whenever we want!"
"Silly! When he moved here, he spent all his money on building a farm. You can't make a fuss! We can still sell his farm with openness and integrity. Besides, the farm he built himself must be more prepared than the small courtyard he lives in now. It's still a problem whether we can attack or not!"
"The adults are right! But I think it's a little bit bad!"
"Then tell me what should we do?"
"There are 20 or 30 people who can get things done. The key is how to get out of the city if you succeed! If there is a stir, there will definitely be someone in the city to investigate. The city gate is closed tonight, so brothers can't get out! Why don't you contact the king of the city and ask him to help open the door?"
"No! We are a garrison. He is a garrison. He may not be able to sell my face! Besides, it is his territory. Li Bin is also a juren. If something happens, he will definitely take the blame. We will give him as much as we can. They are very poor!"
"It's really difficult to deal with!"
"It's difficult to deal with, and it's rare for brothers to encounter this kind of fat meat. Do you leave it alone and don't eat it?"
"How about arranging brothers to pick up the man outside the city? The city wall is only two meters high. At that time, each of the brothers who pick up the man brings a few quilts to spread under the city. After the brothers inside succeed, they slide directly onto the quilt!"
"You guys have many tricks! This is a good idea! There are three days left to the first day of the second month. There is no moon at that time, so it's just right to do things! If you arrange it, you can pick up twenty skills! Then you and I will take people outside to help you!"
Of course Peng Yongde has to be present in this kind of big business himself, otherwise he wouldn't know if the people below swallowed the money!
The two discussed various details and started preparing separately!
Of course, Li Bin didn't know that a black hand had reached out to him and was still walking at his own pace!
Now every morning, he will pull four guards at home together. He first runs around the city, and then Li Bin practices squats while watching Wang Han and the others punching there! He has no interest in martial arts practice! He is too skillful, and it is probably not very useful if he really goes to the battlefield!
After practicing squat, I took out a few guns and wiped them all, and gestured in my hands to find the feeling! Unfortunately, he couldn't get enough shots in the city. When his own farm in Pudong is built, it will be easy to drive it at will!
After breakfast, I started to arrange today's work. This time I mainly went to purchase raw materials. Now I only have a small courtyard that can be found in the Ming Dynasty to do some chemical experiments!
I know about the three acid and two alkalis, but I haven’t done it before. I can produce it directly when I do it myself, and I can contact the supplier of raw materials first!
Chapter completed!
