A few days passed in a hurry, and Yang Fan told his parents that he was going to develop abroad for a period of time.
The signal in Africa is not very good, and sometimes the mobile phone may not be able to reach you. If you have any problems, you can contact Sun Xing for help.
In the past few days, Yang Fan had not gone anywhere except for online shopping for supplies prepared for himself. Just staying at home with my parents and sister.
For the first time in so many years, my brother plays with me at home every day, and I am so happy.
"Niuniu, please be obedient at home and go to school well," Yang Fan said while holding the little girl.
"Well, I will be obedient. Brother, when will you come back?"
"I'll come back when my brother finishes his work."
Parents are very open-minded and know that boys should go out and have a career. Now they are not worried about anything. They are just a little anxious about Yang Fan's marriage. They keep reminding them to talk to a suitable girl outside.
Just as he was talking, the doorbell rang.
Yang Fan went to open the door.
The mysterious woman was standing outside the door looking pretty.
"Won't you invite me in?" The woman winked mischievously.
"Please come in, please come in." Yang Fan quickly invited her into the house.
"This is my colleague who came to pick me up." Yang Fan explained to his parents.
Yang Fan pulled out a trolley case from his room.
"Let's go, I've packed everything and I've been waiting for you."
The Audi car was speeding on the highway, heading straight to the Linxian factory that Yang Fan bought.
In front of the gate, Sun Xing, Liar, Er Leng, and Monkey were all there. Yang Fan finally explained the first-hand matters and warned anyone entering the warehouse to obtain their consent.
"I want you to order the small punch for pressing copper coins. Have you ordered it?" Yang Fan asked Sun Xing.
"Boss, it was installed yesterday. It's CNC, fully automatic and unattended. As long as there are enough copper plates, we can continue production."
Yang Fan nodded with satisfaction.
Yang Fan has to pay wages to the people below. After all, silver is not used by ordinary people. Ordinary people use copper coins.
The amount of copper coins Yang Fan will need from now on is not a small amount. Just make your own copper coins.
The copper coins of the Ming Dynasty were never enough and flowed out of the country in large quantities, becoming almost the world's currency.
Therefore, the government has always been relatively ambiguous about the private minting of money. Basically, I don’t care much about it.
As for official money, when a new emperor ascends the throne, in order to show the atmosphere of the new dynasty, he usually casts it in a ratio of six copper to four lead. Because the copper is more than half, it looks beautiful with golden light. In the future, it will become a half ratio. In fact, the copper content is only 45%.
Yang Fan calculated that one ton of pure copper plates cost about 50,000 Ruanmei coins, and one Chongzhen Tongbao copper coin cost three grams. One ton can be stamped out 333,000 pieces. If you exclude the loss, let’s count 330,000 pieces. The cost of each piece is 1.5 cents. It can be used as two copper coins, but the recipient still gets half the advantage. Because the copper content is pure copper.
Yang Fan didn't like the trouble of adding lead, which had to be smelted. If it wasn't difficult enough, he could just stamp it with copper plates.
In the modern antique market, the cheapest and most common Chongzhen Tongbao costs thirty-six or seven yuan. Those with words and patterns on the back are more expensive, some even ranging from two to three hundred to seven or eight hundred yuan.
Yang Fan planned to give all the copper coins received from the Ming Dynasty to Xinghe for collection and sale. The orphan treasures, the carved mothers in the town library, would be given to Baoli first, and those that met the auction conditions would be put up for auction.
In this way, even ordinary copper coins have nearly fifty times the profit. Of course, the premise is to diversify shipments and control shipment volume, and not to lower prices.
Sun Xing took out a copper coin and handed it to Yang Fan. Yang Fan pinched it with two fingers and admired it carefully.
The stamped ones are beautiful, very perfect, much prettier than the cast ones, and because they are pure copper, they sparkle like gold.
The four large Chinese characters Chongzhen Tongbao on the front are chosen from the calligraphy works of Yan Zhenqing. The muscles and bones are fully visible and very imposing. Turn it over and there is the word Xinghe on the back, which is the logo of the coin foundry.
"Not bad, good money," Yang Fan was very satisfied.
After letting a few people go back, Yang Fan took the mysterious woman into the warehouse.
This is a huge steel structure warehouse twelve meters high, one hundred meters wide, and more than thirty meters deep.
Four in a row. One is for buckets of food waste, and the other is for collected waste. One is for purchasing modern supplies. There is also one used by Sun Xing to store antiques. The four keys are in the hands of four people.
At this time, the purchasing warehouse was filled with various supplies.
"What should I call you?" Yang Fan asked.
"You are the holder of the ring, and you are my master. Naturally, my surname is Yang after you. My name is Yaoguang. You can call me Yang Yaoguang."
"Oh, then you follow my command."
"I'm only responsible for protecting your safety, not your mercenary. So don't expect too much. Many times you can't count on me because I'm dormant."
The high heels of Yaoguang's leather boots clicked on the ground. I looked around the reservoir area and said, "You have a lot of stuff in reserve."
"There's nothing I can do about it. I checked online and found out that there will be a massive attack by Jiannu next year. Zunhua City was captured and occupied for half a year. Many miners and craftsmen who smelted iron were taken captive to Shenyang and Fushun for Jiannu. I work as a slave in the mines and forge iron. I have to protect myself first."
"Such supplies cost a lot of money."
"About 30 million, the most of which are steel bars and cement. I want to turn my workshop into a fortress. I need to take off my turtle shell first and protect myself well."
"Huh, no hope!" Yao Guang rolled his eyes.
After saying that, Yaoguang stretched out his hand
"Bring it"
"What to bring?"
"Give me the ring"
Yang Fan took off the ring from his finger and handed it to Yao Guang.
Yao Guang put it on his hand, and the ring seemed to be activated. It lit up red again, and a green light shot out.
Yao Guang walked to the corner and used light to draw a line along the four inner corners of the warehouse. Soon a green square was drawn.
Then four vertical lines rise, and then, again, a square line appears along the ceiling.
Green fills all the planes, and a green cube inside the warehouse wraps the entire warehouse interior.
"It's done" Yaoguang drives the ring to stop and all the light disappears.
"In the future, this cube will be the transmission point, which can be transmitted in both directions. However, our energy is limited, and the energy absorbed during the full moon is too slow. It is better not to transmit on a large scale. Instead, we should transmit in small batches slowly."
Yaoguang finished arranging the teleportation points in the four warehouses, pulled Yang Fan up, and disappeared into the warehouse with a flash of light and shadow.
The warehouse is at the northern end of the yard and has a back door, so there is no need to explain to the four people why they didn't come out.
The light and shadow disappeared, and the two of them had appeared in the west study room in the small yard of the iron factory.
"Is this your home here? It looks so simple," Yao Guang said with disgust.
The two opened the door curtain and entered the main room.
Suddenly, a pink fist came towards him. Yang Fan never expected that he would be attacked at home.
boom! , hit him hard on the face, Yang Fan's nose felt sore, damn, his nose was bleeding again.
