Chapter 185 What a strange person
When Lin Li saw that Wang Gui heard his proposal to acquire pearls, the expression on his face suddenly became a little unhappy.
After thinking about it, he understood why the other person's expression became like this, so he said it sincerely.
"Boss Wang, I sincerely want to buy pearls, and I am not kidding you."
Wang Gui originally thought that the young man in front of him was joking at himself, and he felt a little angry. Now look at The other party was so sincere, and the unhappiness in his heart immediately dissipated, and then he asked with some doubts.
"These pearls are useless, why did you buy them?"
I bought these pearls to take them back to Blue Star to sell... Lin Li smiled in his heart and said, "I saw these pearls , I suddenly had the idea to make them into bracelets or necklaces."
"..." After hearing Lin Li's explanation, Wang Gui couldn't help complaining, "Take this worthless thing. "Mr. Lin, if you want to make some bracelets or necklaces with pearls, go directly to the oyster shell pile in our backyard."
Take it yourself! They are all worthless things anyway.
If there is nothing else, I am still busy in the kitchen! ”
Wang Gui stood up, clasped his fists at Lin Li, and then returned to the kitchen to work.
Ask me to rummage through the trash to find pearls. How can I have so much time to rummage... Lin Li muttered in his heart, and then said to Wang Gui, who was about to return to the kitchen to work.
"Shopkeeper Wang, for every pearl you have, I will give you a copper coin."
With such a simple sentence, Lin Li told him to go back to the kitchen to work. Wang Gui stopped.
“What did you say?”
"For every pearl I say you have, I will count it as one copper coin for you."
"Mr. Lin, are you serious about this?"
"Of course, to show my sincerity, I can pay you first." I'll give you part of the deposit," Lin Li said with a smile, and then he reached into his pocket and took out a stack of banknotes.
Take out a cash note with a face value of one silver coin and place it on the table.
One silver coin is equal to one thousand copper coins. The denomination is quite large, and ordinary people rarely use it.
The last time Lin Li helped Zhu Xinru and his party, the guard captain Liu Jie gave him a small bag containing something as a thank you.
After returning to Blue Star, Lin Li took out the small bag from the mysterious island and checked it out.
He discovered that this small bag contained a stack of cash with denominations in silver coins, totaling five hundred silver coins, equivalent to half a million copper coins, and approximately equivalent to half a million yuan on Blue Star.
Because of these five hundred silver coins, after Lin Li made the decision to acquire pearls, he did not need to spend time acquiring some more currency in this world, but directly took out the cash to carry out his acquisition plan. .
Wang Gui saw Lin Li taking out cash and being so sincere. At this moment, he was convinced that the young man in front of him really wanted to buy those useless pearls.
You know, the cost of purchasing the oysters sold in his store is only one copper coin each.
Every oyster contains pearls. Now this young man is willing to buy each pearl for one copper coin. This does not mean that he will sell oysters in the future, and the cost of purchasing will be offset.
"Mr. Lin, how many pearls do you want to buy?" Wang Gui asked.
"Give me 20,000 oysters first! If you still need them later, I will place an order with you..." Lin Li looked around at the number of diners eating oysters in the store and said.
"Well... although your store's business is good, I need 20,000 pearls, which seems to be difficult for your store!" Each pearl is one copper coin, Twenty thousand pearls equals twenty thousand copper coins.
Wang Gui almost couldn't help but exclaimed when he heard Lin Li saying that he wanted to buy 20,000 pearls.
After all, he is someone who can open a restaurant, and twenty thousand copper coins is not a big sum for Wang Gui.
But spending 20,000 copper coins to buy a pile of garbage feels a bit surprising.
The thought of earning 20,000 copper coins for nothing with a pile of garbage, such a good thing, made Wang Guijue's business seem like pie in the sky.
He tried hard not to laugh out loud, and said to Lin Li confidently.
"Mr. Lin, you don't have to worry about this. In addition to this restaurant, I also have 4 restaurants. If you want 20,000 pearls, I can help you get them together within an hour."
It turns out that this person runs a chain store! Now it's good. From now on, when I buy pearls, my supply will be guaranteed... Lin Li nodded and took out another five-silver-coin banknote from the stack of banknotes in his hand and placed it on the table.
"There are six silver coins in total here, which is considered as the deposit I paid you in advance. In an hour, I will come to you to pick up the 20,000 pearls.
By the way...the size of the pearls is about It should be about the same size as these." Lin Li pointed to the twenty pearls on the table and said to Wang Gui.
"No problem, the oysters we buy in the store are all about the same size, and their pearls are also about the same size," Wang Gui said.
"Can you write me a receipt as proof?" Lin Li thought for a moment and said.
"Of course. Just wait a moment and I'll write you a receipt." Wang Gui said, then turned and walked towards the counter.
After a while, he returned with a written receipt.
"Okay, I'll take the receipt. I'm going to go shopping around. I'll come back later to get the pearls." Lin Li took the receipt he handed over, looked at it, then folded it and put it in his pocket. inside.
Afterwards, Wang Gui signaled to his employee and asked her to collect the money Lin Li put on the table, and then he personally sent Lin Li to the door.
Wang Gui murmured to himself as he watched Lin Li put on his bamboo hat, walk away, and then disappear at the end of the street.
"What a strange person. He is willing to spend so much money to buy pearls that are of no use at all."
After saying that, Wang Gui turned around and returned to the store and began to greet his The man rummaged through the garbage, and at the same time, he also sent people to other stores to do the same thing.
…………
Wearing a bamboo hat to hide his face, Lin Li walked slowly on the street. He felt happy when he thought that he had brought the pearl of this world to Blue Star and made a lot of money after selling it.
"If the reselling of pearls goes well this time, I will make a fortune..."
Lin Li was aimlessly thinking about taking the pearls back to Blue Star to sell. Wandering around on the streets of Dongwucheng.
On the streets paved with blue bricks, there are many vehicles coming and going.
In addition to carriages and buses pulled by strange beasts like the ones he had ridden before, Lin Li actually saw bicycles.
"Uh... there are bicycles in this world?!"
