After sitting in the car, Joanna said in shock:

"I really didn't expect..."

"You don't come here often." Zhu Yu said with a smile as he drove, "otherwise you wouldn't have known there would be such a mess here."

"I just heard from my classmates that I have never been here..." Joanna really has never been here.

"It's okay, it's good to experience it." Zhu Yu smiled, "It's quite exciting."

"It's better not to go there in the future." Joanna persuaded Zhu Yu, "It's too unsafe!"

"That's fine." Zhu Yu actually doesn't like such noisy places. Just give it a try.

Before the car arrived at the villa, Zhu Yu's cell phone rang.

Zhu Yu took a look and found that this was Smith's number.

He pulled over to the side of the road and answered the phone.

"Mr. Zhu Yu, I didn't disturb your rest, did I?"

Smith spoke very politely.

"No. There must be something going on when you call so late, right, Mr. Smith?"

"Yes, you guessed it right." Smith said, "I heard that you recently obtained a large number of ancient gold coins from the seabed?"

"Yes." Smith was able to get this news, which was unexpected by Zhu Yu.

"A wealthy businessman plans to build a pirate museum and wants to buy this gold coin. Do you have this intention?"

Zhu Yu didn't expect that a buyer would come, but he thought about it and said:

"Of course I hope to sell it, but it must be at a suitable price. In addition, this batch of gold coins is quite large mathematically. I don't know if the other party can eat it."

"To use a Chinese idiom, the more the other party asks for, the better."

"Can you eat 300,000 pieces?" Zhu Yu said a number.

Smith choked, so much!

He hesitated for a moment, but finally refused to make a decision for others and said:

"Then I need to make a call and ask. By the way, what shape is this gold coin in?"

Zhu Yu said: "I will take a photo and send it to you."

"OK."

Zhu Yu took out a gold coin from his pocket, put it in his hand, took a photo and sent it.

"Is this the gold coin you got this time?"

"Yes." Zhu Yu put the gold coin in Joanna's hand and continued driving.

After returning to the villa, Smith called and said:

"The other party said that if they were gold coins of this size, he could still afford to collect 300,000 gold coins."

"The rich man also said that if there are other items related to pirates, he will also accept them. But they must be older."

"Okay, I'll go to your store to discuss it with you tomorrow."

After an afternoon of tossing and jumping around in the evening, Joanna only lasted one round on the bed and fell asleep.

Zhu Yu didn't want to torment her any more, so he had to take a cold shower and sleep.

The next day, Joanna rested in the villa, and Zhu Yu went to Smith's shopping mall.

The economy is in recession, so many people come to sell second-hand goods.

When Zhu Yu arrived, Smith was looking at an ancient jewelry box brought by an old lady.

Seeing Zhu Yu, Smith nodded and apologized to the old lady. Then he stretched out his hand to call a waiter and let him see the jewelry box in the old lady's hand, while he took Zhu Yu into the inner room.

….

After entering, Zhu Yu took out a handful of gold coins and placed them on the table.

Indeed, just a handful.

The gold coin is irregularly round, and the surface pattern is also a rough head of a man wearing a crown.

Smith picked up one, looked at it and said:

"This kind of rough-looking gold coin was a common phenomenon in that era. Basically, gold was made into a gold rod, and then cut and engraved with patterns, so it was very irregular."

After speaking, he took out a small electronic scale and placed the gold coins on it.

Zhu Yu saw the number 5.1 grams displayed on it.

The average is about five grams.

It's about the same size as an adult's thumbnail, and certainly not heavy.

"In terms of weight, three hundred thousand coins is almost 1.5 tons." Smith said, "Of course, antique gold coins cannot be calculated based on the current price of gold.

It’s just that the quantity is a bit huge, so one piece…five hundred dollars.”

If you look at the price of gold, one piece is almost over three hundred US dollars.

Of course, the gold content of this gold coin cannot reach that purity.

But this is an antique gold coin after all, and Zhu Yu feels that a five hundred gold coin is a bit missing.

"At least one thousand US dollars." Zhu Yu counter-offered.

"Impossible." Smith shook his head. "You can buy a gold coin of the same period in better condition for a thousand dollars. A maximum of six hundred dollars."

"If you really want to build a museum, you will definitely need a lot of gold coins." Zhu Yu said, "Even if you can buy minted gold coins, the amount will be too small!

Since it is a pirate museum, can the money in it be less? Do you know the Haihunhou Museum that has become quite popular in China recently? The ancient coins in it are stored in tons!

I am the only one who can find such a large amount right now, so this gold coin must be at least nine hundred US dollars!"

Zhu Yu didn't say that the tons of copper coins were there, but to be honest, there was a lot of gold in the museum of Haihunhou's tomb, and they were all big.

"It can't be that high." Smith didn't know who Haihunhou was, but since Zhu Yu said it, it was probably true.

The rich people in ancient China were really rich!

Of course, this has nothing to do with today's matter, he continued:

"The authority I can give is only so high, up to six hundred and fifty dollars!"

Both parties were looking for basis for their prices, and after a long period of back and forth, the deal was finally settled at US$780.

Three hundred thousand gold coins, each worth US$7800, the final transaction price was US$234 million!

More than a dozen small goals achieved!

Zhu Yu was very happy. Although this mission went through many hardships, it was worth it in the end.

After the negotiation was completed, Smith showed a smile on his face, and then asked Zhu Yu in a low voice:

"Mr. Zhu, I heard that there is a sacred object from the Mayan tribe in the treasure this time. I don't know..."

"Indeed, but that thing is very..." Zhu Yu thought about it and said, "anti-evolution. So I don't think anyone will collect it."

Anti-evolution?

Hearing this sentence, Smith's eyes lit up. It is human nature to seek novelties. We have seen too many ordinary ones. Only the abnormal ones are worth collecting!

"Can you let me see it?"

"After the deal is concluded, I will show it to you," Zhu Yu said.

….

The two parties agreed on the time and place for the transaction, which was at the cargo yard of the New York port.

In a transaction involving hundreds of millions of dollars, both parties were very cautious. Fortunately, with Smith as a middleman, the transaction was easily concluded.

Zhu Yu said goodbye and left, while Smith called Fuhao to report the situation.

The rich man's plan was to acquire 300,000 antique gold coins for about 250 to 300 million. Unexpectedly, Smith talked about 234 million. He was very happy and gave Smith a generous bonus.

.

The next day, Zhu Yu arrived at the port and found Jason.

When Jason saw Zhu Yu appear, he screamed excitedly and ran over. If Zhu Yu hadn't waved his hand, he would have really planned to step forward and hug his boss.

Zhu Yu patted him and said:

"how are things?"

It's been less than a month since they left, so the situation hasn't changed much.

But Jason shook his head and said:

"Recently, a very powerful treasure hunter came here. He always picked the most valuable container, which made other people very dissatisfied."

"What does that have to do with our business? Wouldn't it be great to have people like this exist?"
