Chapter 1606: Five Million Taels of Silver!
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Ye Feng did not reply.
He only proved Zhuang Xiaoqiao’s guess with his actions. He pried open more than ten wooden boxes in a row and found that they were all filled with silver ingots.
Towards the end, Ye Feng no longer had the intention to continue digging. He started to search his system in depth, he concluded that there were thousands of boxes in these warehouses, they were all filled with silver, a total of five million taels!
Converted to RMB, it was worth 650 million!
Ye Feng felt a little suffocated, and Zhuang Xiaoqiao also felt that she could not hold on any longer. How many lifetimes would it take to save up so much money?
The warehouse manager was so angry that he almost went to see G.o.d. He had been guarding this warehouse for so many years, why didn’t he think of opening it to take a look?
If he had taken out a few boxes of silver and sold them, he would not have to be the lackey of the capital. With a change, he would be synonymous with the capital.
At this moment, he had an impulse to call the company’s senior management and report this matter. Perhaps the company would give him a generous reward.
But thinking about how the company had already signed a contract with Ye Feng, and it was written in black and white with his handprint, it was too late to regret it now!
“What should we do?” Zhuang Xiaoqiao turned to look at Ye Feng robotically.
Ye Feng took in a deep breath, he looked at the shape and quality of the silver ingots in the box, as well as the shape of the ingots.
The color of the ingots was slightly black, which was caused by long-term oxidization. This meant that these silver ingots were quite old. They should have been looted by the Americans during the late Qing Dynasty.
Although these things originally came from China, after all, times have changed. Modern Americans did not care about this. In addition, silver itself was a precious metal. It was unrealistic to transport so much silver back to China. The customs procedures could not be completed.
Ye Feng felt a little regretful that he could not bring so much silver back to the country, but he had no choice, he could only think of a way to sell it in America.
He had no connections in the United States, so he could only call Chen Qiushan, who was far away on the other side of the ocean.
“Hey, Brother Ye, what’s the matter?” Chen Qiushan did not curse this time. The reason was very simple, Ye Feng called him at around 9 am in America, and it was only 9 pm in China, so he was still awake.
“This matter is rather urgent. Let’s make it short!”
Ye Feng was afraid that Chen Qiushan would miss every word he said, so he hugged the phone tightly and shouted, “I got five million taels of silver in America, I definitely can’t bring these things back to the country, help me find a way to get rid of them quickly!”
“What the h.e.l.l? Five million?”
“Brother Ye, I know you’re very impressive, but can you stop bragging?” Chen Qiushan’s eyes widened.
“Am I that kind of person? It’s really five million taels of silver! Hurry up and contact someone to deal with it!” Ye Feng shouted.
Chen Qiushan took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.
He knew that Ye Feng was telling the truth, he was just too excited when he heard it was five million silver taels. His blood was boiling, he almost couldn’t help but want to do a few push-ups.
“Listen to me. Five million taels of silver is not a small amount. I can’t digest it all at once with my connections in America.” Chen Qiushan said.
“Then what should we do?” Ye Feng frowned. This luscious piece of meat was right beside his mouth, could it run away?
“Don’t be anxious. Listen to me.”
Chen Qiushan said earnestly, like an old father who cared about his son. “I will help you contact my friend in the United States. You can give him everything and let him help you sell it. It will take a year to transfer it all. At that time, you just have to give him a considerable commission.”
“Is this reliable?” Ye Feng naturally trusted Chen Qiushan, otherwise, he would not have called him immediately, but he did not know Chen Qiushan’s friend, so he was a little worried.
“Don’t worry!”
“The Chinese don’t lie to the Chinese!” Said Chen Qiushan. “This friend of mine isn’t one of those American losers. He’s a particular person.”
“Alright, help me contact him. I know the rules. If this is done, I’ll give him a 5% commission!” Ye Feng decided.
“Nice!” Chen Qiushan hung up the phone.
Ye Feng took his phone and contacted a famous bodyguard company in America. He spent a lot of money to hire a large number of bodyguards to guard the warehouse.
The bodyguard company also had a branch in Seattle. More than 20 bodyguards quickly drove to the warehouse area. When they first arrived, they thought that they were there to protect someone. They did not expect that they had to guard a warehouse. They could not help but be surprised.
The price that Ye Feng offered was very high, and the job of guarding the warehouse was much safer than protecting a person, so they were quite happy to do so.
Ye Feng was very satisfied with the overall quality of these bodyguards.
This group of people were mostly retired soldiers with thick calluses on their hands. It could be seen that they often handled guns, and they also carried guns.
With such a team, Ye Feng was relieved.
How many ignorant b.a.s.t.a.r.ds would dare to run into the muzzle of a gun?
Perhaps those bodyguards felt that Ye Feng was making a mountain out of a molehill by spending money to look after the warehouse, that was because they did not know what was inside the warehouse.
In addition, Ye Feng paid them to come here not to prevent criminals, but to prevent people from the rental company.
Who knew if the warehouse manager would tell the higher-ups of the rental company about this, and who knew if the people from the rental company would take advantage of his absence to empty the warehouse?
Humans die for wealth and birds die for food. Although this was a proverb spoken by the ancient Chinese, it was applicable anywhere in the world.
Especially for these capitalists who would sell their hanging ropes for money, Ye Feng did not believe that they would follow the rules.
Moreover, Ye Feng knew that when dealing with bears, one had to hold onto the axe tightly!
After arranging the five million taels of silver, Ye Feng accompanied Zhuang Xiaoqiao to walk around the streets of America.
In the next two days, he did not go anywhere else. He accompanied Zhuang Xiaoqiao to travel around and experience the exotic customs. After all, this trip to America was proposed by Zhuang Xiaoqiao. Her main purpose was to have fun, not to gamble in the warehouse and hunt for treasure.
Although he had made a lot of money from gambling in the warehouse this time…
To be honest, Ye Feng did not feel that there was much to appreciate about the foreign culture of America. The Americans looked polite, they were also gentlemanly when they talked to beautiful women, but if one took off their gorgeous outer appearance, they were no different from wild beasts…
Adding on the five million taels of silver, excluding the commission that Chen Qiushan’s friend would charge, Ye Feng did some calculations. This trip to America had earned him nearly 1.4 billion Chinese yuan, this was definitely an astronomical figure!
