Seeing that everyone was looking at him curiously, Han Du took out his sword, pointed at the blade and said, "Did you see these black and gray lines?"
"On a real Utz steel knife, after being wiped with silk, a colored shimmer will appear in the lines. On a fake Utz steel knife, these lines will become darker."
After Yu Qian heard this, he quickly took action himself. He took the knife from the teacher's hand, imitated the teacher's movements, and suddenly wiped it hard on the spine of the knife.
Pay close attention to the changes in the color of the texture, and sure enough you can see subtle glimmers of color.
I picked up the fake one and tried it again. Sure enough, there was nothing on the lines except a dark patch of black.
Everyone was amazed by such a simple way to distinguish between true and false, and everyone couldn't wait to try it for themselves.
The knife seller saw everyone's actions and guessed that they were trying to identify the authenticity of the Uzi sword. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, because he also wanted to know what kind of method could be used to distinguish the authenticity of the Uzi sword so quickly and easily.
There was a language barrier, so the knife seller had no choice but to turn to Hader.
After getting Han Du's permission, Hard told the knife seller the method.
The knife seller couldn't help but be excited, and immediately ordered his servant to get two more knives for him to try.
Yu Qian looked at the two identical swords and asked, "What's the difference between these real and fake ones?"
"What's the difference?" Han Du smiled slightly, handed the fake one to Yu Qian, and motioned for him to lift it up.
Han Du held up the real sword, took a deep breath, and slashed in the air.
With a "clang" sound, the scimitar in Yu Qian's hand broke into two pieces, and the fallen tip was easily inserted into the hard dry soil.
"This..." Yu Qian was shocked, "The gap between true and false is so big?"
Han Du placed the knife horizontally in his hand and sighed: "The real Uzi sword not only cuts without curling, but also gets sharper with use. Even if it has been used for hundreds of years, it will still be as bright as new. It is truly incomparable." A treasure trove.”
Hearing Han Du's words, especially a general like Xiang Lanchun, his eyes could not help but reveal a scorching gaze.
BMWs and swords, these are the favorites of brave men!
"Let's make an offer. How to sell it?" Han Du put his sword back into its sheath and said calmly.
The knife seller was extremely impressed and bowed his chest to Han Du, thanking Han Du for teaching him the method of distinguishing the true from the false. When he straightened up, the lion said loudly: "The distinguished guest also knows that this real Uzi sword is extremely precious, costing two hundred dollars a piece!"
Two hundred pieces, one hundred and forty strings, this is a truly sky-high price!
Han Du chuckled, and then gave his price, "One hundred shillings."
I don’t mean anything else. I’m used to haggling, so I’ll cut it in half first.
Upon hearing Harder's message, the knife seller suddenly burst into tears and shouted: "It's impossible..."
When he had finished howling, Han Du said calmly: "I don't just buy this one."
"How much do you want to buy?" The knife seller suddenly became curious.
"how much do you have?"
The knife seller was shocked. He had never encountered such a arrogant customer. Judging from this, how many other parties will he buy?
If this is the case, then there is no loss in selling it at a cheaper price.
He couldn't sell a few valuable items like the Uzi sword in a year, so of course he wouldn't sell them if the price was low. But if the other party buys a lot at once, even if the price is lower, he will still make a lot of money. He can still figure out this simple truth.
"Thirty-four more."
"One hundred pieces, I want them all." Han Du waved his hand and packed them up in one go.
Want them all!
The knife seller felt excited when he heard it. Although he would earn very little for a hundred bucks, he would still be willing to sell them all.
But as a qualified businessman, even if he makes a profit, he still has to fight for the price.
So, after the knife seller cried and fought for money and money, the two parties concluded the deal at a price of one hundred and twenty dollars.
Pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand.
After both parties inspected the goods themselves, the knife seller rolled his eyes and said: "If your distinguished guest still needs Uzi swords, we can prepare another batch for you in a few days."
Han Du didn't need to guess, he knew that he wanted to buy the Uzi steel knives in other hands and sell them to himself, so as to make a fortune from them.
If not, why didn't he just tell him where to buy it?
For a veteran knifemaker like him, he knew exactly who had Uzi steel knives in the entire city of Herat.
But Han Du didn't mind spending a little more money, as long as he could buy an Uzi steel knife.
After agreeing to the knifemaker with a smile, Handu and his party left and returned to Hard Manor.
As soon as they came back, Yu Qian and Lan Chun approached Han Du.
"Teacher, why are we buying so many knives?" Yu Qian was very confused. "Although this is indeed a precious sword, we don't need to buy so many, right?"
Buying thirty-two is not enough. I will continue to buy more depending on the teacher’s wishes. Although the money spent is nothing to Han Du, he still can't bear to keep buying it. God knows how many such swords there are in Herat.
Han Du didn't answer. He looked at Lan Chun with a smile and asked, "What? Do you have any questions?"
Lan Chun nodded and said solemnly: "I dare not lie to my uncle. Since I came to Timur, everyone I see is my father's enemy, and I can't suppress my heart."
"Please tell me, uncle, how you plan to avenge my father?"
Han Du nodded slightly, and then said to the two of them: "What you are talking about is actually a question, so I will explain it to you."
After a pause, Han Du looked at Yu Qian and asked, "If you raise a hundred chickens, and one day someone is willing to buy 80 of them for a hundred cents each, will you sell them?"
Yu Qian thought for a moment and thought that if there was money to be made, why not sell it?
So he nodded, "Yes."
"A few days later, the merchant came to buy your remaining chickens for 500 coins each. Will you sell them?" Han Du continued to ask.
"Of course, the price is so high, why wouldn't you want to?" Yu Qian started to get excited.
Han Du continued with a smile: "But even if I buy twenty of your chickens, it is still not enough for a businessman. He asks you if you have any more chickens. If you do, he will buy them. How will you reply to him?" ?”
Yu Qian pondered for a while and said: "I don't have chickens, but others do. I can buy other people's chickens and sell them to businessmen, making a lot of money. So, I will tell him that there will be some in a few days. chicken."
"But at this time, most of the chickens on the market have actually been bought by businessmen, and it will take at least a year to raise chickens again. At the same time, the businessman comes to tell you that the price of chickens has increased again. He is willing to pay two thousand Buy one. What will you do?" Han Du asked again.
Yu Qian didn't even think about it and said directly: "I don't have any chickens. Even if it goes up to three thousand, I won't have any chickens to sell him."
Han Du did not stop there and continued: "In a few days, the merchant will come and tell you that the price has increased again, and it is now five thousand."
Yu Qian stopped talking. He only felt chills all over his body, as if there was a great danger surrounding him.
"That's not all. In a few days, everyone will know that the price of chickens has increased, this time it is 10,000!" Han Du looked into Yu Qian's eyes and smiled slightly, "At this time, what do you think the chickens will become? "
Yu Qian only felt an invisible pressure that made him breathless. He lowered his head and murmured: "I...don't know..."
Han Du took a sip of water, and his voice sounded like it was coming from under his feet, "At this time, the chicken is no longer a chicken, but a symbol of wealth. Everyone will firmly believe that the price of chicken will continue to rise, and whoever owns the chicken will Have wealth!"
"At this time, what kind of gold, silver, what kind of pearls, gems? They will all be replaced by chickens, because the value of these things will not change, and the value of the chicken may double in one day, or even count. Times!"
Cold sweat broke out on Yu Qian's forehead. He swallowed subconsciously and asked in a dry voice: "Teacher, buying a sword is like buying a chicken?"
"Smart!" Han Du glanced at Yu Qian appreciatively.
"But uncle, what does this have to do with revenge?" Lan Chun finished listening, but he didn't understand it at all. But in his opinion, buying chickens or swords has nothing to do with revenge.
Yu Qian sighed deeply, patted Lan Chun's shoulder with his palm, and said, "Don't worry, sir, as long as the teacher's plan goes smoothly, you will see a scene of revenge."
】
Lan Chun was puzzled, but didn't say anything else.
Yu Qian suddenly thought of something and suddenly said: "Teacher, there is another flaw in this strategy. Everything is based on the Timurid people's crazy pursuit of the sword. But what if the Timurid people are not keen on the sword? "
"Then let them pursue it!" Han Du didn't panic at all, looking like he had expected it.
"I'm afraid this won't be easy, right?" Yu Qian frowned. He felt that the uncertainty and risks of placing everything on the Timur people's pursuit of the sword were too great.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Han Du looked at the door calmly and said loudly: "Come in."
Harder pushed the door open and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, your Majesty sent someone to inform you that a banquet will be held at the palace tomorrow night, and we are invited to attend."
Han Du nodded slightly, indicating that he understood, and waved his hand for Hader to exit first.
Then he looked up at Yu Qian and said with a smile: "Look, isn't this opportunity coming?"
Yu Qian took a deep breath and admired the teacher very much. Could it be that the teacher had thought of all this since he was summoned?
Han Du put his hands on the table, stood up slowly, and said with a smile: "Since they are so kindly inviting us, we can't let them down. Let's prepare well. Let's go to the palace tomorrow night."
After that, he asked Yu Qian: "There is no need to bring ordinary porcelain and tea. We will only bring treasures that can shock Timur this time!"
"Understood." Yu Qian nodded solemnly.
