Chapter 189 Counting Harvest
After thinking about it for a while, Miao Cui asked:
"Has your school announced when school will start?"
Wang Li shook his head:
“I can’t find the teacher…”
Miao Cui sighed:
"Hey, when will this day end? Students can't even attend classes."
Wang Li immediately looked outside alertly and whispered:
"Mom, don't say that! It could kill you."
Miao Cui said:
"Of course I know. I'm just telling you about it."
Wang Lidao:
"You'd better not tell me about it. I've seen many couples turn against each other, brothers become enemies, and children bite their parents."
Miao Cui's heartbeat accelerated unconsciously, and she smiled:
"Why, are you still planning to report me, your mother?"
Wang Li said anxiously:
"You have so little confidence in your children's education? There are many people in the compound, so it's better to be careful."
Miao Cui patted Wang Li lightly and wanted to say - you better be careful when you are out there, and try to avoid causing casualties - but after thinking about it, she didn't say it.
It's not like she hasn't experienced troubled times before.
Just sigh:
“I know.”
Wang Li still likes to go to his third brother Wang Yuanchao’s small courtyard whenever he has time. It’s so free there.
Besides, she also had a lot of things that were placed at Third Brother's place. This place could be used as a comfortable base for everyone, which was more suitable than Tongban Qiansong's place. Qiansong's place was just a backyard, not as good as Third Brother's private house.
"Hey, Third Brother, where's Sister Xueru? Where's my eldest nephew? Has he moved away?"
Wang Li came twice and found that Chen Xueru and Hou Kui were missing.
Wang Yuanchao said:
"When you're not here, she and I are alone, which is not good.
I let them move into my dormitory in the railway compound."
Wang Li looked her third brother up and down and felt that this was not her third brother's style.
Shouldn’t you eat first?
Does he still care about single men and single women?
She had already secretly figured out how her third brother got hit on the head by Hou Kui. Hou Kui was quite clever, but his level was far behind her, Wang Li.
The second brother, who was originally thought to be a playboy, got married and had children obediently. Instead, the third brother, the second brother's follower, came out on top and was not picky about age, which simply blinded Wang Li's eyes.
Judging from the fact that she and Third Brother have had such close contact for such a long time, Third Brother prefers being alone with men and women, so it would be best if he doesn't take any responsibility.
Pooh!
Scumbag!
This word was taught to her by her third brother.
Wang Yuanchao had no idea of his younger sister Wang Li's inner thoughts. He sent Wang Li and Chen Xueru away just to have some time alone in the courtyard and to be able to enter and exit the basement freely.
Not until this moment could he slowly count his gains during this period. What a great harvest!
First of all, there is the much-loved gold.
Regardless of the golden toad, golden Buddha, gold ingots, yellow croakers of various sizes, and gold products, these were all earned from his hard work selling stockings, some were stolen during activities, some were stolen during visits, some were stolen from other people's "trophies" warehouses out of anger, and some were purchased with copper coins. All in all, the total weight was 433.75 kilograms.
If we convert it according to 1 jin 16 liang, it is 6940 liang! That is 6940 small yellow croakers!!!
Even according to the bank's official purchase price of 240 yuan per tael, it is still a huge sum of 1 million yuan!
As expected, a horse cannot grow fat without night grass, and a man cannot become rich without unexpected wealth. The ancients were right.
As for the silver, Wang Yuanchao was too lazy to weigh it. As a collectible, it was more valuable than the silver itself. Then there was the cash, which came from various sources, but the bulk of it came from confiscations, including the seizures from the warehouse, totaling 28 yuan. If a portion of it had not been used to buy the gold that was lost, this amount would have more than doubled.
With so much cash, Wang Yuanchao had no place to spend it or save it. He had no choice but to continue absorbing gold from the Pigeon Market.
The gold price in the pigeon market is very low now, lower than that in banks. Many people are eager to sell their gold, but they dare not go to the bank to exchange it. The rich are also being suppressed, and their lives and families are at risk. There is a serious imbalance between supply and demand.
Copper Coin helped Wang Yuanchao purchase gold, and they were very careful, and the price was only half of what the bank offered. Even so, they could still collect more than ten or twenty kilograms a month.
Rich people secretly hide some, but do they dare to take it out and exchange it at the bank?
Many children steal gold and other things. Do they dare to go to the bank to exchange them?
Of course, we should thank the daring lunatic who contributed the pistol. If he hadn’t broadened Wang Yuanchao’s new thinking, how could he have made so much money?
The supplies in the "trophy warehouse" are where the space can be put to good use.
He learned how to pick locks from Master Buddha. Locks these days are too simple.
Then the guard dogs at night would lose their fighting capacity as soon as the tiger poop came out.
In other words, Wang Yuanchao was not as brave as the pistol-wielding thug and would not directly empty out a warehouse of gold, silver, and banknotes. He would just quietly take out a part of them so that no one would notice it for a while. It would take an unknown amount of time before he discovered that something was missing after counting.
But he usually wouldn't touch other people's warehouses, he would only go there when he was angry. Usually he would go with his sister to see other people's captured goods, and take some of them, which was enough.
Yes, everyone will also observe each other’s achievements!
There were also a lot of tickets, many of which he used to do favors, and he asked Qian Song to help distribute some of them. There were even many people in Pigeon City who directly exchanged gold for tickets.
Qian Song never asked Wang Yuanchao where he got so much money and notes, or how he collected so much gold. Anyway, he and his friends were very rich just by the handling fee.
For people in this line of work, it is very important to keep your mouth shut.
The cargo import and export capacity of this line may not be very strong, but it is relatively stable and can be sustained over the long term.
In addition, there are many antiques, jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, and artworks. Wang Yuanchao can only store them one by one in camphorwood boxes and do insect-proof treatment. These things may not be of much use in decades. But decades later, the value of these things may not be able to exchange for even one of them with his hundreds of kilograms of gold! Where can I get this right?
These things took up a lot of space in his space. After all, even if there were hundreds of kilograms of gold, the volume was only the size of a few lunch boxes (some gold products were hollow).
He directly stored the large items in the equipment bar, such as the set of infantry armor that Qian Song helped him to get.
The infantry helmet replaced his original electric scooter helmet. This thing not only protects the head, but also the cheeks, back of the head and neck, providing all-round protection except for the eyes.
He tied the armor on his body tightly together, and the equipment bar also defaulted to it being considered as one piece of equipment, replacing his original self-made first-level armor. This thing added a layer of protection from shoulders to calves!
He connected the arm guards and boxing gloves together and transformed the original level 4 armor into leg guards. In this way, when fully armed, the head, body, arms, and calves occupied equipment slots, making him invincible with cold weapons!
Normally, he would only be equipped with the two most important pieces of equipment, helmet and armor, which were sufficient for daily protection.
In terms of attack, there are:
Four Type 54 pistols (Type 54 Big Black Star), he really didn't like the others and didn't follow them;
288 rounds of pistol bullets;
Five Type 53 rifles (imitations of the Mosin-Nagant and the Water-Ray rifle, the first standard rifle equipped by our army);
Two Type 56 semi-automatic rifles (imitation of SKS, high accuracy, large number of equipment);
Two Type 56 automatic rifles (imitating AK47);
A Type 63 automatic rifle (it is understood that this thing has only been equipped to the army in small quantities in recent years, and its performance is very good. I don’t know where it came from);
972 rifle bullets.
15 grenades.
To put it bluntly, we can now form an infantry squad.
However, the most valuable things are still some pill recipes!
As my fourth uncle is a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, he couldn’t avoid such tragic situations.
The well-known Angong Niuhuang Pills, Liushen Pills, Shexiang Baoxin Pills, etc., when these traditional family pharmacies were attacked, Wang Yuanchao took advantage of the fire... Oh, no, he followed his sister's large group to provide timely assistance, protected some people's lives, and gained some people's friendship. As for the pill recipes that he stole, he was determined to inherit and pass them on.
Apart from helping his master and his grandfather, there was little Wang Yuanchao could do in other areas. After all, he was just the deputy director of a small song and dance troupe of the Railway Art Troupe. If it weren't for the group of kids who had trained his sister Wang Li, he himself might have been hit a few times.
