Infinite Doomsday: I rely on space to stock up and bully the scum

I saw a pair of transparent glass beads lying quietly on the black corduroy, shining brightly under the sunlight.

this...

The young man was stunned for a moment. The glass beads were so crystal clear.

Moreover, they are a couple!

Here comes the big business.

The waiter did not take the things from Jiang Jiang's hand. After saying sorry for the inconvenience, he quickly invited Jiang Jiang and others to the private room on the second floor to rest, and then turned to find the shopkeeper.

The waiter on the second floor brought a few glasses of iced drinks in time. Li Xu and his friends drank them in one gulp and sighed comfortably. They finally felt a lot cooler.

After a while, a middle-aged man with a big belly and wearing silk clothes came.

"Excuse me, I have kept you waiting for so long." The man was about thirty years old, with a long beard, a plump figure, a kind face, and a look like the Maitreya Buddha.

However, Jiang Jiang knew that these pawnshop owners were more vicious than each other and would definitely lower the price to the extreme. If they were truly kind-hearted, the pawnshop would not be able to continue operating.

After seeing Li Xu and Li Sheng finish their drinks, the man angrily said, "Why don't you pour water for our distinguished guests? You have no manners."

The waiter next to him was scolded, but he still put on a smiling face and quickly filled the glass.

"I apologize for the poor hospitality. My last name is Zhao, so you can just call me Shopkeeper Zhao. May I ask what treasure this lady wants to receive?"

Shopkeeper Zhao got straight to the point and started asking about the business.

Jiang Jiang opened the box again, revealing a pair of glass beads inside.

"Ma'am, can I take a closer look?"

Jiang Jiang put the box on the table and nodded.

Shopkeeper Zhao picked up the box and looked carefully at the glass beads inside.

"This colorless glass bead is indeed rare, crystal clear, and naturally round. What's even more valuable is that it comes in pairs. The meaning of a pair is also good."

As they were talking, Shopkeeper Zhao changed the subject.

"Unfortunately, these glass beads are too small. If they were a little bigger, the price would more than double. Madam, ordinary people can't afford this pair of glass beads, and the rich and powerful people don't even look down on them."

No matter how much Manager Zhao said, Jiang Jiang just listened to him with a smile, neither agreeing nor refuting.

This demeanor actually impressed Shopkeeper Zhao. Although Mrs. Jiang was not dressed in a normal way, Shopkeeper Zhao had once been conspicuous by her clothes when he was young, and he had been traumatized by this and no longer judged people by their appearance.

I don't think this business will be very profitable.

Shopkeeper Zhao thought so in his mind, but he still tried to test the price.

"Madam, whether you want to pawn it alive or dead, the price will be slightly different."

"What about being alive? What about being dead?" Jiang Jiang picked up the cup and took a sip of water.

Anyway, she was not the one who was anxious. She just took out two glass beads that she had stuffed into the space at that time. In modern times, you can buy a bunch of these glass beads for one dollar. She still had a big bunch of them in her space, with various models.

However, this town is too small, and taking out too large glass beads may easily cause trouble. Now this small pair of glass beads is just right.

It has some value without being too precious.

"If it's a live pawn, I can give you fifty taels of silver. You need to redeem it with sixty taels of silver within three months, otherwise the glass bead will belong to the pawnshop. If it's a dead pawn, I can give you the same amount."

Shopkeeper Zhao made the gesture of eight, meaning eighty taels of silver.

Jiang Jiang could only sigh that the pawnshop was too unscrupulous. Isn't this the ancient version of mortgage lending? Twenty percent interest for three months, this annual interest rate is directly off the charts.

Moreover, Jiang Jiang thinks the price of the dead pawn is too high, as it is a pair, not just one.

"Shopkeeper Zhao is really good at doing business. My mother bought this glass bead for three hundred taels of silver. Now it is only worth eighty taels in Shopkeeper Zhao's hands. Never mind. I'll just keep it as a keepsake."

Seeing Jiang Jiang preparing to pack up and leave, Shopkeeper Zhao continued to say with a smile: "Madam, this is a business that requires give and take. Since you think the price is too low, please name a price and we can discuss it further."

Jiang Jiang imitated Shopkeeper Zhao and made a five gesture, "Five hundred taels of silver."

When Shopkeeper Zhao heard the price, he shook his head like a rattle.

If he bought it at this price, he would basically make no money.

"This price is really too high. The most I can offer is 150 taels of silver, which can probably buy several acres of good farmland."

Shopkeeper Zhao had sharp eyes and could tell at a glance that Li Xu and Li Sheng were farmers who did farm work all year round. To these people, gorgeous jewels were no match for land that could be used for farming.

Sure enough, when Li Xu and Li Sheng heard that Manager Zhao converted silver into good farmland, their DNA moved.

However, no matter how excited they were, they did not dare to make any suggestions or questions about Jiang Jiang's decision. They began to avoid the gaze of Shopkeeper Zhao and studied their cloth shoes that were about to have holes in them.

Seeing that this trick didn't work, Shopkeeper Zhao was helpless and could only start a price tug-of-war with Jiang Jiang.

Both parties were haggling over the price. Shopkeeper Zhao was finding fault and lowering the price, while Jiang Jiang was acting as if to say, "If you want to buy, buy it. If not, I'll leave."

The final price remained at three hundred and twenty taels.

This is Jiang Jiang’s bottom price, and also Manager Zhao’s.

"Okay, okay, ma'am, it's a shame you don't come to work in our business. No one can argue with you with your mouth." Shopkeeper Zhao wiped the sweat from his forehead. If it weren't for the fact that Mr. Qian's favorite daughter was getting married and was looking for good things as a dowry, he would have to bargain for the price.

But since he got it for 320 taels, he didn't lose anything. Then he could sell it to Mr. Qian for 600 taels, which was very safe.

If Jiang Jiang knew about this, he would have cursed the businessman inwardly. He thought that if he grind the coins one tael of silver at a time, Manager Zhao could make nearly double the profit by just reselling them.

If she wasn't running a business with no capital investment, who could make more money than these businessmen?

One hand delivers the goods, the other hand takes the money.

Jiang Jiang received three hundred taels of silver notes, and the remaining twenty taels were silver.

Walking out of the pawn shop with the huge sum of money, the three siblings of the Li family were still a little dizzy.

Such a small pair of glass beads is actually worth three hundred and twenty taels of silver?

You know, it was already very good for them to save ten taels of silver a year, and it would take them more than thirty years to earn these three hundred and twenty taels of silver.

Li Xu did the math and found out that the annual tuition for his two sons was one tael of silver, and the expenses for paper, ink, pens and inkstones were two taels of silver a year. The annual expenses for the two of them were six taels of silver. After two years, with Lai Bao added, the annual expenses for the three of them would be nine taels of silver.

This is almost all the family’s income. If the year is bad, there will be no money to save.

Fortunately, with this money as a foundation, Li Xu felt at ease.

He thought silently that if his two sons did not live up to his expectations, he would beat them hard and absolutely not waste their mother's money.

Li Dongliang and Li Yuanchang, who were several blocks away, felt a chilly wind behind them and broke out in cold sweats even in the hottest weather.

Jiang Jiang took out the twenty taels of silver and gave five taels to each person, even Li Cuicui got five taels.

"This is for you. Buy whatever you want. The bulk of the money will be with me. I will pay for the children's education and Cuicui's marriage."

Five, five taels of silver, just give it to them like that?
