Apocalypse World Reboot

Chapter 24 Chapter 24

Top-quality rubies like this are extremely rare, and it is rare to come across them. Xu Xian naturally wants to exchange them for collection.But the other party is not a fool, even if the supplies are in short supply, this set of jewelry can bring some benefits if it is properly operated, so the price is set at [-] anti-inflammatory drugs for injection.

Don't think that the price is very low. Now the base is in short supply, and the general oral medicine is fine, but this kind of injectable medicine has been highly hyped, and it is not difficult to exchange for three to five hundred crystal nuclei.

Xu Xian didn't want to agree easily, because it would make him look like he was being taken advantage of.Although the other party didn't know his identity, at least he knew that he was a rich man, otherwise it would be impossible to buy something that was of no practical use at this juncture.

Xu Xian understands this truth deeply.

He knocked on the table with his fingers a little impatiently: "The things are good, but your appetite is too big. If this is the case, I don't think there is any need to trade."

Because of the transaction of valuables, Xu Xian was invited to a room on the second floor. The person who received him was a young man with a noble appearance and restrained eyes. Just by looking at him, he knew that he was not an ordinary person.

The man on the opposite side looked kindly: "It's not good for the guest to say that. We open the door to do things, and we can discuss everything."

Xu Xian nodded, "That's like a sentence, not like the one just now, and it's too ignorant."

The person who received Xu Xian before was a middle-aged woman with a very grumpy temper. Her eyes kept falling on the jewelry box, as if she was very displeased with Xu Xian's idea of ​​using ruby ​​jewelry.

The man paused, and then apologized with a smile: "An elder in the family who has a rough experience made the guests laugh. My surname is Yi Minghan, and I am the manager of this store. Haven't asked the guest's name yet?"

Xu Xian didn't hide it either, "My surname is Xu, and you'd better not inquire about the rest."

The warning in Xu Xian's words was very strong, but the man was not angry at all, "So it's Young Master Xu, I'm sorry. We have other things here besides this set of top ruby ​​jewelry. I don't know if Young Master Xu would like to appreciate it." one time?"

Speaking of this, Xu Xian became a little interested. Being able to produce such a rare item shows that this store still has some skills. Xu Xian nodded along the way: "If it's too bad, you don't need to bring it over."

Yi Han waved to call for people, and said with a smile: "It's natural, when a distinguished guest comes, of course you must treat them with good things."

Xu Xian understands that he has become a fat sheep in the eyes of others, but he doesn't care, because there are too many things they have collected, and they can't use them up.In addition, once the shelf life has passed, even if the things are still good, they may lose value when they are taken out.What's more, now they are using these in exchange for gold, silver and jewelry that have no practical use. As a businessman, this is definitely a profitable business.

Soon, Yi Han's subordinates brought in three large solid wood boxes, such boxes that were only used in the old days are now rare.

After the box was opened, Xu Xian saw that it was filled with gold, silver and jewels, and the bottom layer was all gold bars. At a glance, there was a golden light, and anyone who saw it would be moved.

A lot of jewelry and jade were placed on it, as well as some rare antiques. Xu Xian glanced at it for a while, and there were not no jewelry similar to that set of top rubies.For example, the dragon and phoenix bracelets of red jadeites, the top-quality oriental beads the size of an adult's fist, as well as strangely shaped natural corals, exquisitely crafted crystal ornaments, jade ruyis inlaid with jewels, Qing dynasty beads with various colored pearls and jade, etc.

It is worth mentioning that there are many calligraphy, paintings and porcelains here, influenced by family education, Xu Xian also has some understanding of this, but he is not very interested.

It is said that antiques and gold in prosperous times and troubled times, obviously, there is no market for these things now.

Yi Han has been observing Xu Xian's expression, seeing that he put down the Lantian jade unicorn in his hand without interest, his heart skipped a beat.

Xu Xian leaned back and glanced at the jewelry box on the table: "The things are good, can we talk about the price now?"

Yi Han understood that Xu Xian was referring to the price of rubies. Of course, the reason why he threw out rubies was not just to sell the set of jewelry. Even if the jewelry is not worth much now, this item can still be sold in the upper class.His main purpose, of course, is to do a big business.

Yi Han smiled and complimented: "Young Master Xu is naturally well-informed. I have better ones here. Young Master Xu, would you like to see them?"

Xu Xian sneered when he heard the words, and waved his hands pretending to be impatient: "The small ones are still making a living. What's the use of you asking me to take these things back? But then again, seeing that these things have been around for a long time, you can make so much Many, you can be considered to have some skills."

If it was changed to the peaceful and prosperous age, there are so many things, not to mention the wealth is incomparable, and the country is definitely rich.

Yi Han sighed helplessly: "The things were consigned and sold by other customers here, and many of them were stolen from their homes in the old days. We didn't want to do this business at first, but we couldn't afford to open the door to do business on this street. It’s not good to offend others.”

Xu Xian was unmoved: "If this is the case, isn't it a way to reach the base?"

Businessmen always talk half-heartedly when they meet. Xu Xian doesn't believe his excuses at all, but it's impossible to kill him all at once.

Yi Han smiled slightly: "The base doesn't accept these anymore. It turns out that the collection of gold and silver is to preserve some value, and it's hard to explain the origin of these things."

I understand, no one wants to be dug out for gray income or anything, but Xu Xian doesn't think he is being taken advantage of: "Even if I want to keep some for appreciation, I won't be able to save so much, let alone what the future will be like." I don't know either."

Really smart people can always see farther. If Xu Xian can think of hoarding gold bars, other people can also think of it.Although the base is short of supplies, the antidote has been researched, coupled with the advent of new weapons, there is still hope for mankind to survive the end of the world safely, at least many people think so.

It's just that there are not many people who are really qualified. Now only the upper-level people of the base can guarantee three meals. They are Xu Jin's subordinates. As long as they don't go on missions, they only have two meals a day. This is considered a relatively good salary. .

If it wasn't for Xu Xian's space, he wouldn't have the conditions to collect gold, silver and jewelry that might appreciate in value in the future.

Although the medicines in Xu Xian's hands don't have a long shelf life, they are in short supply right now, so exchanging them for crystal cores is naturally not a problem. Now everyone knows that the price of crystal cores keeps rising, and it must be used as a common currency even in a long time.If they want to exchange medicines for these gold, silver and jewels, they will naturally make a steady profit, but Xu Xian wants to take risks, and it is very likely that the investment will be in vain.

Seeing Yi Han constantly selling these things, Xu Xian thought for a while, and then asked: "How many things do you have?"

Xu Xian knew that Yi Han might have guessed his identity, otherwise it would be impossible to sell these unsalable goods with such enthusiasm, but it is also his purpose to sell the excess supplies and exchange them for something that can preserve their value. The exchange is too troublesome.

Yi Han smiled when he heard the words: "Counting this, there must be [-] items, and there are quite a few big ones not counting, all of which can be added to Xu Shao."

Thirty pieces, of course, refers to such a large wooden box, so it seems that there are quite a lot of things.

Xu Xian was speechless, "It's okay to talk about gold, silver and jade, but I'm not interested in antiques." Although he has no shortage of places to put these things, he can't let people take advantage of him.

Yi Han nodded: "Young Master Xu, don't worry, those things don't count. If you're interested, I can send them to you."

Xu Xian looked at him: "Tell me what price you want first."

Just because he wanted to try his best to facilitate this business, the price he offered might not be too low.

Yi Han smiled, with a hint of shrewdness in his eyes: "I want to ask Young Master Xu for fifteen pieces, two for one."

Xu Xian's eyes turned cold when he heard the words: "You have a big appetite."

Now the most popular medicine in the base is anti-inflammatory medicine, no matter how useful it is, this thing is expensive now, although it also has the moisture of operation in it.

Yi Han gestured for his work, and brought a small box from the inside, "Of course I won't ask Shao Shao to pay for it. If this business is successful, I'm willing to give Xu Shao a big gift."

As he spoke, he handed over the box in his hand to signal Xu Xian to check it out. Xiao Wu who was standing beside him took the box, opened it carefully and placed it on the table.

Xu Xian glanced at it from the corner of his eye, and saw a crystal-clear glazed mirror in the box, with exquisite and strange lines engraved all around the mirror, and under the light, there was a cluster of silver lines looming in the center.Xu Xian took a closer look, only to find that it seemed to be a pair of silver phoenixes, with strange and extraordinary imprints, which made people feel deeply trapped just by looking at them.

Xu Xian turned to look at Yi Han: "What is this?"

Yi Han saw that he finally showed a hint of interest, and hurriedly explained: "This is a magic weapon, as long as it is placed at home, it can calm the mind and eliminate evil spirits."

Xu Xian nodded: "I know a little bit about the things used by Taoists. If it's really a good thing, would you be willing to give it to me?"

Xu Xian had never met Yi Han before, so he wasn't sure if he was a son of an aristocratic family, but he didn't need to look at these when he came to buy things, he still felt that the actual benefits were real.

Although I am a little interested in this thing, it is not so easy to take advantage of him.

Yi Han felt that Xu Xian was loose, and continued: "It's not a good thing, how could I show it to Young Master Xu? It's a pity that we haven't practiced, and we don't have supernatural powers like those Taoist priests. This thing was mortgaged by a Taoist priest before. Absolutely not bad, it can gather spirits and soothe the nerves, if Xu Shao is not satisfied, he can take it back and exchange it at any time!"

The glazed mirror surface was very smooth, and when he touched it, he could feel a cool air entering his body, and even his mental power could resonate weakly with this mirror. From this point of view, it was obviously not an ordinary mirror.

Xu Xian pretended to hesitate for a moment, Yi Han naturally promised a lot of benefits in order to facilitate the business.The two parties came and went, and finally the deal was made at the price of ten boxes of medicines.This includes three anti-inflammatory drugs, and the rest are other drugs.Xu Xian and others didn't need medicines similar to those for other diseases, so they simply dumped them on Yi Han. Other than that, they put some unused medicines on him for consignment.

These medicines still have a shelf life of nearly one year, so it's not too bad to sell them now.Xu Xian was lucky that his villa was big enough, and the things were brought here in the dark, and he drove a big truck. Afterwards, Xu Xian handed him several boxes of medicines, and left Yi Han's phone number to send them to him. He goes out.

Xiao Wu started to help Xu Xian pack his things. It was not an easy job to move dozens of large boxes up there. There were only three or five people in the villa, and Xu Jin had already led the others to go out on missions.

Wang Hai and the others had no doubts about Xu Xian's return of these things. They carried the things upstairs according to Xu Xian's instructions, and then went out to do other things.

These people from the army are used to obeying orders, and out of respect and trust for Xu Jin, they will not say much.

Xu Xian and Xiao Wu began to count and sort the things in the boxes. They packed more than ten boxes of gold bars, more than ten boxes of jewelry, several boxes of jadeite and various jade materials, and the rest were mostly antique calligraphy and paintings. There are some fragile china.There are many precious antiques in it, and it is not uncommon to see those worth tens of millions.The most special thing should be a few pieces of precious porcelain transformed from the kiln, which in Xu Xian's opinion still has some collection value.

In addition, there are many old furniture, large coral trees, money trees, eucalyptus trees, etc. Those who don't know think they are the treasures of the Dragon Palace dug somewhere.Of course, he didn't doubt that many of Yi Han's explanations were obtained from house raids before, because even the Xu family had some antique treasures obtained at that time.

Xu Xian was quite satisfied with the harvest this time, but he asked Yi Han to replace the remaining medicines with crystal cores. After all, although there would be no loss in buying these things in large quantities, Xu Xian did not want people to say that he was taking them. With Xu Jin's hard-earned money squandered.

After being busy for more than two hours, Xu Xian and Xiao Wu had dinner, and then went back to their rooms to rest.

Although these belongings were all locked in the dark room, they were not as safe as Xu Xian's space. He simply put all these things into the space, and then found dozens of wooden boxes to put a lot of sundries back to the original place. Locked the door.

However, before Xu Xian returned to the room to rest, hurried footsteps came from downstairs, and Wang Hai ran up out of breath, "Fourth Young Master, it's not good, civilians rioted in the west district, detonated the city wall, and let the zombies in." !"
