Baotou has a developed economy, with most fur shops, and there are not many gold shops. Yang Yuanzhao walked most of the streets on East Street and finally saw a shop with the Tianyuan Building sign. He glanced outside and found that there seemed to be a lot of jewelry inside, which was very eye-catching.

Liu Zhongwang, who was lying down again, felt a sound of footsteps, and a tall figure covered the sun. He moved away the palm-leaf fan and saw that the young student who might have been a foreign student was standing in front of him. When he saw him, he showed a mouthful of white teeth and said to him with a smile: "Brother-in-law, is this a gold and silver shop?"

"Yes, young man, what's wrong with you?"

"This!" Yang Yuanzhao hesitated for a moment.

Liu Zhongwang looked behind him, a group of idle men watching the fun, waved his hands impatiently, and said, "What are you looking at? Foreign students who have returned from abroad have all been dispersed, let's disperse!"

"Boss Liu, it seems that there is business coming to the door. Congratulations!" A deer-headed rat-headed man curled his lips and said, as if he wanted to see Yang Yuanzhao clearly, and then said loudly behind him: "Let's go away!"

It was strange to say that after this sentence, many people gathered around watching the fun and dispersed one by one. Yang Yuanzhao breathed a sigh of relief, but did not notice that Liu Zhongwang's face slightly darkened.

"Young Master, come in and talk!"

Liu Zhongwang gave Yang Yuanzhao into Tianyuan Tower, sat down in the side room, served a cup of tea, and then asked: "Youngsheng, I am the shopkeeper of Tianyuan Tower. If you have anything to do, tell me!"

Yang Yuanzhao has always paid attention to Liu Zhongwang. 15.5 grams of gold, saying it is big or small, it is best to be careful in this unfamiliar place. If you are beaten and be beaten, it will be a loss. The money loss is small, and the key is that you cannot guarantee your life.

Liu Zhongwang's eyes were clear and not like a cunning person. He took out the piece of gold, put it on the table, and said, "Old man, I'm just here to Baotou, I'm short of money. How much is this worth!"

Liu Zhongwang looked at Yang Yuanzhao vigilantly, and his eyes fell on the table. The gold was not big, almost ten grams, red and yellow in color, and the color was very positive. He took it over and squeezed it, and then threw it on the table. He dropped it on the table with a clatter, without rhyme, and did not pop up. Then he smiled on his face and said, "No, the purity is good, it's more than four cents?"

Yang Yuanzhao was shocked. He knew that someone could pinch the right amount, and said that it was a lot, just a dozen grams of things. After touching it, he actually knew how many, 15.5 grams, according to Qingliang 37.3, it was just a little more than four cents.

"The old man is amazing, he is just over four cents!"

"This gold is of good quality, more than 99% of it, I'll collect it!" Liu Zhongwang took out his abacus and said while tying: "A small yellow croaker can be exchanged for 25 eagle oceans, more than 4 yuan, and 10 yuan. I'll give you another 100-month change!"

Yang Yuanzhao didn't know the price, but he knew that Yingyang, which is the Mexican silver dollar. It was once a popular silver dollar in the late Qing Dynasty. The inequal treaty of the 1840 War was 21 million yuan. This yuan refers to Yingyang. The ** War was due to the over-the-counter battle, and a large amount of silver dollars flowed into China. The British could not make money, so they began to sell **. After being banned, a war fought for the market started a tragedy in modern China.

Yingyang's weight is about 27 grams, and the quality is 90%. This comparison of gold and silver should exceed 1:10. However, the profits in combination with the currency value should exceed 1:15. This ratio is pretty good. Yang Yuanzhao is just preparing to exchange for the first pot of gold, but he didn't think much about it and nodded to respond.

"That's it!" Liu Shu nodded and sent his father out. He came in. When he came back, he found that Yang Yue had already started chatting with Yang Yuanzhao, which was quite enthusiastic.

"Brother Zelin (Liu Shu's name is Zelin), this brother Yang is my family. Did he return from studying in England or at Oxford University!"

"A British university?" Liu Shu said with surprise.

"Oxford University is not inferior to Yale University where I am academically. It is the best in the UK university. Where can Brother Yang graduate, it must be extraordinary!"

Yang Yuanzhao smiled bitterly in his heart. He just spoke to Yang Yuan and knew that Yang Yue came back from Yale University and studied agriculture, which was an unpopular major. He knew that all the students studying in the United States in the late Qing Dynasty were elites. Yang Yue was a latecomer and was a serious student, standing out among thousands of students. Including China's illiteracy rate, he can definitely be called the elite among the elites. He did not study machinery or political economy, but agriculture, which is more or less surprising.

As for Oxford University, Yang Yuanzhao was talking nonsense. Yang Yue was studying in the United States, so he could not. If he was wrong, he would make a joke. He was not very familiar with French and German universities, and what came out of his mind was Oxford University. Fortunately, he was skilled in English and mechanical aspects. I am afraid that real Oxford University students may not be better than him. It would be harmless to pretend to be a fool. As for the purpose of coming to Baotou, the past that he failed to find relatives.
