Chapter 117 Hundred Times Profit

These things purchased by the master were Yan Xu's preparations for returning to the modern world. He thought about it for a long time because there were so many good things that he was dazzled.

First of all, seafood is ruled out. Although there is no shortage of seafood in Shanghai and the price is cheap, it is not convenient to transport.

The Japanese world has a systematic military force that can transport dozens of carriages at a time, so there is naturally enough profit.

But now there is no systematic military force to help, how much can he transport and how much can he earn by himself, so Yan Xu turned his attention to precious medicinal materials and dried goods.

Ginseng, saffron, dried abalone, fish maw, etc. are all expensive tonics in modern times. They are small in size, durable in storage, and easy to carry, making them undoubtedly good choices.

Moreover, in this way, Yan Xu can use the cheap silver of the Japanese world to exchange for the cheap dry goods of the late Qing Dynasty world, and finally convert it into the rich wealth of the modern world, and then transform it into the materials needed by the two worlds. After a circle, it is easy to earn hundreds of times the profit.

Compared to bringing back hundreds of kilograms of gold and silver, this method is undoubtedly less likely to attract attention, after all, it is just food.

However, Yan Xu still couldn't help but decided to try his hand at antiques, because the profit from antiques was so huge. Even if the prices of antiques in the modern world had not yet started to take off, the profit was enough to make anyone excited.

A pile of pots and pans are sold at a price higher than gold. How can one not be tempted?

But Yan Xu actually didn't know much about antiques. He only knew that there were definitely more fakes than real ones, even in this period, because antique counterfeiting has a long history. So if those who don't know the business dare to go in, they will definitely be cheated.

But the master had connections and could guarantee the authenticity, because he knew a group of eunuchs who had plenty of good stuff and attached great importance to reputation. They never sold fakes, and they had special sources of goods.

Now the Qing Dynasty is just a shell of its former self. Even the eunuchs in the imperial palace are in no mood to serve their masters. Instead, they rack their brains to embezzle public resources for their own benefit. As long as they are paid, there is nothing in the palace that they dare not resell. They even have a branch in Shanghai, because there are so many rich people here.

Although he had a way, Yan Xu did not get carried away. First of all, he knew not to touch bronze objects, as they would easily cause trouble.

Also, don't touch those who are too famous, as they may easily cause problems in modern times.

Therefore, we mainly purchase porcelain in large quantities from the Qing and Ming dynasties.

These porcelains were mainly used for daily use and rewards in the imperial palace. They are not very valuable, and there are still large quantities of them in the modern world.

But precisely because of this, it is not easy to attract attention, and there are many people who are able to buy and collect it.

If we really bring back a national treasure, let’s not talk about how much noise it will cause. What if some collector is forced to take out an identical one? That would be really fun.

It was easier to do according to Yan Xu's request. The eunuchs had plenty of them, so they managed to get half a car and also gave an extra set of the emperor's four treasures of the study as a bonus.

"Master, are you interested in the emperor's personal seal? The eunuchs said it's not expensive. If you want it, they will also give you a set of secret spring pictures from the palace." The lawyer placed the four treasures of the study used exclusively by the emperor in front of Yan Xu and asked quietly.

"No." Upon hearing this, Yan Xu couldn't help but sigh at the audacity of these eunuchs, but he really didn't need it.

"But please keep an eye out for the other things." Yan Xu thought of the secret books and pill recipes he obtained in the modern world, so he asked his master to contact those eunuchs to see if he could get them. Money didn't matter, but they had to be real.

Although the gold he brought this time has been almost spent, now that he has a stable place to stay, he can bring more and has no shortage of money.

Yan Xu soon discovered that compared to antiques, jade and other items were more suitable to bring back, because he happened to own a gold shop and could sell them directly after processing, making a quick return on investment.

The profit from these alone is more than a hundred times. After all, the gold and silver he spent in this world were all exchanged from the Japanese world with cheap industrial products such as glassware. After careful consideration, Yan Xu decided to use various dry goods as the main materials in this world, because they can be sold for a long time without arousing suspicion.

The second is jade and jadeite. As for antiques, he selected some sets of tea sets, tableware, vases and calligraphy and paintings to bring back to decorate his private restaurant to improve its grade. He didn't plan to touch anything else.

When the bronze door appeared, Yan Xu returned to the modern world with thousands of kilograms of cargo.

As soon as the bronze door behind him disappeared, Yan Xu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He had never felt that the modern world without supernatural powers was so safe.

There is no need for full body armor, no need to keep a gun loaded with bullets within reach, and no need to be ready to kill people and demons at any time. The whole person relaxes.

The pigs in the pig farm are about to be slaughtered. They are fat and strong, grunting as they spend their days leisurely in the pigsty. It is obvious that the farmer is also good at feeding the pigs, but the smell is not very good. No matter how diligently he cleans the pigsty, the smell is not much better.

As the base I chose for my journey, I had no choice but to endure it.

Put your things in order, put anything that cannot be seen by others in a secret basement, and put anything that needs to be taken away in the car.

After returning home, Yan Xu took a shower and changed clothes as usual. While waiting for his hair to dry, he took out a tape and started playing it.

Songs like "Sisters, Stand Up" and "Alliance of Broken Hearts" followed one after another, and the cheerful rhythm helped him continue to relax.

This is necessary. Given his mental state and experiences in the late Qing Dynasty, even if a passerby picked his pocket, it could cause a stress response in him. He could suddenly attack and kill someone at any time. He dared not go out without adjusting his mentality.

Even so, it took Yan Xu three full days to adjust his mentality and make a summary.

Summarizing is also necessary. Yan Xu never thought that he was a smart person, but he knew that he should try not to make the same mistake again, so he set this rule for himself.

How to say it, there have been constant surprises and accidents since entering the world of the late Qing Dynasty, which fully shows what the life of a protagonist should be like, eating, sleeping, fighting monsters, and the only thing missing is picking up girls.

In fact, Yan Xu felt that there were no major problems with his previous preparations and character setting. The only problem was that he underestimated the degree of chaos during that special period, and the Qing Gang also underestimated him, which led to the escalation of contradictions and conflicts between the two sides.

But it's almost the limit. Gang members will not fight to the death with anyone, even if the gang leader is willing. This can be seen from the fact that the Qing Gang turned a blind eye to the betrayal of the master.

In addition, Yan Xu can be sure that the world in the late Qing Dynasty is very valuable for development, because the industrial foundation had been initially completed at that time, production capacity had greatly increased, and management was very loose without so many rules and regulations. Basically, as long as you have money, you can buy anything, such as guns and cannons.

Guns are good things. Not to mention in the ordinary world, they can play a huge role even in the extraordinary world.

Unfortunately, Yan Xu doesn’t dare to act recklessly in the modern world, because there are only firearms in the Japanese world.

After having the world of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, Yan Xu could completely purchase a large number of weapons and equipment to arm the soldiers of the Japanese world and speed up the pace of dominating the world.

Secondly, the mystery of this world is not low, and it may even be greater than that of the Japanese world.

Yan Xu is currently exposed to systematic martial arts, mysterious mages, and the existence of gods, which undoubtedly have great appeal to him.
