Chapter 384 Silver Spot
Lin Zhensong naturally knew what Deng Wenru meant. Oceans are not pure silver, and there are other things mixed in it. If the price of silver is not much higher than that of Oceans, then using silver to cast the ocean and then taking action through some channels can really make a fortune.
However, Lin Zhensong did not plan to do this business. It was not because he was so virtuous, but because he experienced the last time in Shanghai, he felt a little uncomfortable with this kind of business.
Moreover, the arrival of this batch of silver also made Lin Zhensong a little worried, fearing that this incident would affect the Lin family's arrangement in foreign banking markets.
"Oh..." Thinking of this, Lin Zhensong sighed and smiled bitterly at the two of them: "It's a bit late now. I have bought a lot of machines abroad to open a factory. Now I don't have much money anymore. What a pity."
Hearing this, Lu Jinde was a little puzzled and asked, "This is wrong, Lao Lin? Why haven't you heard you talk about this before? Also, what factories are you going to open?"
"Don't worry, Lu Gongji will not compete for business with you. Although you haven't decided what kind of factory to open, it will definitely be different from yours.
Besides, my factory is not open here in Shanghai. I will place the factory in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River and only sell things around it. Your goods are sold on the sea route to all parts of the coast, so we will not conflict."
Hearing Lin Zhensong's words, Lu Jinde smiled like a flower on his face, which made Lin Zhensong and Deng Wenru shook their heads helplessly.
Deng Wenru thought about Lin Zhensong's words and felt something was wrong, so he asked: "Lao Lin, are you hiding something? Why don't you know what factory to run when you buy machines?"
Lin Zhensong heard this and explained: "What I bought was not a new factory, but someone abroad bought a batch of old factories and sold them."
After hearing this, Lu Jinde said in confusion: "Is the new machine not good? Why are you going to buy those scrap copper and iron?"
"What kind of scrap copper and iron? That's a good thing. Not only are there a large number of machines, but it also comes with technical information and technicians from the factories. This is a sure-fire deal."
Hearing Lin Zhensong's words, Lu Jinde's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said, "There are technical information and technicians? This is really a good thing. Can you score a little bit?"
Hearing this work, Lin Zhensong waved his hand impatiently and said, "Okay, okay, the boat is here, let's find a place to discuss this later."
After saying that, Lin Zhensong followed the eyes of everyone and looked at the big ship docking at the pier.
Seeing this, Lu Jinde looked at Deng Wenru beside him and asked, "Old Deng, how much silver are you going to eat this time?"
Deng Wenru heard this and asked back, "Tell me first, how much do you want to buy? Did I hear that you suffered a small loss last time?"
"What a small loss? Is it good to lose a lot of money? I have lost nearly 100,000 oceans!"
Hearing this, Deng Wenru was also surprised and asked, "Why are you losing so much? Didn't you say you only lost a few thousand?"
"Oh..." Hearing this, Lu Jinde sighed and said, "I'm sorry to tell you! There was a little yen on his hands at that time. As soon as I heard that the yen was depreciating, I immediately took action, but I didn't expect to be cheated."
Hearing this, Lin Zhensong came back and asked, "Lu Gongji, how could you have yen in your hands? You lost 100,000 yuan, so you must have hundreds of thousands of yen in your hands? You are not making a deal with the Japanese, right?"
"How is it possible..." After denied, Lu Jinde immediately explained: "These yen were given to me when someone purchased the goods from me. I didn't want it at first. He gave me some benefits before I accepted it.
Moreover, the yen is not hundreds of thousands, only 140,000. I took the initiative that day too late, and the price of the yen was almost at the bottom when I took the initiative. Fortunately, my batch was not worth ten yen, so I didn’t lose as much.”
Lin Zhensong frowned when he heard this, and asked again: "Who are you buying goods? You can't do things for the Japanese, right?"
"No, I've checked their feet and they are just ordinary merchants. These yen should have flowed from the northeast into Beijing and Tianjin, and into their hands."
Speaking of this, Lu Jinde couldn't help but complain, "These guys are really, aren't they obviously cheating me?"
Deng Wenru heard this, shook his head and said, "Old Lu, don't complain about others. If you want to blame, you can only blame yourself for being greedy. If you pick up sesame seeds and lose watermelon, it's really..."
"Oh... who said no? So I think! This time I replaced all the banknotes in my hand with silver bricks to avoid any more accidents."
Hearing this, Deng Wenru was about to say something, but when he heard the old foreigner speak loudly, he immediately attracted his eyes.
"Everyone, everyone, come and see. I've brought you good things this time, a lot of silver bricks..."
When they heard Yin Brick, except for the few people in the middle and Lin Zhensong and the other people present, the others present suddenly whispered. Obviously, not many people knew about the news.
Seeing everyone's performance, David smiled and didn't bother him. After everyone calmed down, David continued: "I, David, I believe everyone knows me, and I am definitely a friend that everyone can trust."
"Huh, huh..." David's words immediately caused a booing sound. Obviously, David was definitely not like he said.
Seeing this scene, David was not annoyed and continued to say shamelessly: "This time I am here to solve everyone's problems.
I believe that everyone present knew about Shanghai before, and some people even experienced it personally. They lost money and understood that the banknotes were not credible, so I specially brought silver bricks to everyone.
The silver bricks this time are of absolutely good quality and the price is absolutely fair. Everyone is satisfied with the package. Let’s go with me and take a look at the goods!”
After David finished speaking, he took the lead in opening the way and headed towards the bridge. Seeing this, everyone followed him one after another.
Although everyone did not believe in David's character, his words were not without reason. Many people present were indeed worried about the issue of paper money. After the last time in Shanghai, many people have already started to exchange paper money for oceans.

However, because everyone has started to kiss Lai Dayang, their redemption has not been too smooth. Now that there are other opportunities, everyone will naturally have to go and take a look.
After getting on the boat, the group followed David around and finally arrived at the door of a warehouse. There was still someone at the guards with guns at the door. After the guards confirmed David's identity, they were put in.
As soon as everyone entered the warehouse, what caught their eye was rows of wooden boxes, which piled up most of the warehouse. David didn't say anything nonsense, so he took a crowbar from the side and pried open a box.
"Bang..." The lid of the wooden box was lifted to one side, causing a burst of dust, but everyone didn't care and surrounded the wooden box.
The box was full of silver light. David took a lot of effort to take out a silver brick from the box so that everyone could get a glimpse of the whole picture.
The specifications of silver bricks are large silver bricks that are two centimeters thick, twenty centimeters wide and forty centimeters long. Such silver bricks are placed vertically in the box, and are placed in two rows.
Such a silver brick may be worth about three hundred oceans, with a box of one meter and four meters long, a row of seventy yuan, a row of one hundred and forty yuan, and a box of more than 40,000 oceans worth one, which made many people present look red.
Because this box is a considerable wealth for many people present, not to mention that there are at least more than one hundred boxes in this cabin, which is a huge wealth.
However, everyone did not make any moves. After all, there were guards holding submachine guns at the door, and they were all very wealthy, so there was no need to take such risks.
Besides, I don’t know how heavy this box is. There are not many people present who can carry ten yuan, so it’s useless even if you think about it.
Looking at everyone's eyes, David directly pulled out a few more pieces and handed them to the people around him, asking them to take a look.
Lin Zhensong was also handed over a piece, and the three of them gathered together, studied it, and then handed it over to the others after confirming that there was no problem.
After everyone looked at it once, David spoke: "These silver bricks are of the best quality. If you don't believe it, you can check them piece by piece."
After saying that, David casually opened a few wooden boxes around him, pulled out silver bricks, and Lin Zhensong and the other two looked at it. Their condition was indeed similar to what they had just been.
"How is it? Boss Lin, are you satisfied? How much is going to eat today? There are not enough here, and there are more silver bricks shipped here."
Lin Zhensong heard this and smiled bitterly: "Mr. David was joking. How could I have so much money to eat the silver bricks in the cabin?"
"Oh...Boss Lin, don't joke with me. In the entire Shanghai Beach, who doesn't know that Boss Lin has the largest amount of funds now."
Lin Zhensong heard this and immediately explained: "Mr. David, don't make fun of me. I did lose my job before and regain some funds in my hands, but now I have been taken to buy a new job, so I'm very tight!"
After hearing this, David felt a little disappointed and asked, "I wonder how many boxes of Boss Lin is going to eat today?"
Lin Zhensong thought about it when he heard this and smiled: "Mr. David invited me to come today, so of course he must give me face. In this way, I will take 10% of this cabin! I don't know how many of them are?"
Hearing this, David was speechless. He just said that he had no money, but this move was just a 10% guarantee. I really don’t know what to say.
However, David did not hesitate and said with a smile: "Boss Lin, there are about 150 boxes in this cabin, and 10% of them are fifteen boxes. What do you think of Boss Lin?"
"No problem, I just don't know what the price is? Mr. David wants to be more discounted."
David heard this and smiled and said, "The price I prepared is $110 per silver brick, but this is the retail price. Since Boss Lin directly bought 10% of the money, I will give in to 10%. How about a silver brick ninety-nine dollars?"
After hearing this, Lin Zhensong secretly estimated that the ninety dollar was much more expensive than the foreign silver price, but it was not much more expensive.
Lin Zhensong has paid a lot of attention to silver during this period. He knows that a silver brick of this specification is a standard silver brick of 260 ounces, which is calculated at 0.4 US dollars per ounce, and the price is more than 100 US dollars.
