"The more basic, the better." Chen Zhao was very satisfied.
"Are there any books about the Starlight Compass?"
"No," Gould Padinka answered.
Chen Zhao was a bit disappointed, but he didn't take it to heart.
The Starlight Compass was undoubtedly good stuff.
But there was still a long way to go.
Chen Zhao wasn't in a rush to get it.
To Chen Zhao, this was the icing on the cake.
Chen Zhao didn't plan on taking the magic books back.
He'd just leave them here. If he needed them, he could come back and get them.
Plus, Gould Padinka was watching.
He could pick out any book he needed immediately.
If he messed up the books when he brought them back, finding a book would be like finding a needle in a haystack.
"By the way, did we forget about the two pirates?" Aquilati Gisli asked, chuckling.
"I hope they weren't affected." Chen Zhao shrugged.
Chen Zhao and Aquilati Gisli found Simenta and Huperi in the cave.
They were halfway up the mountain and had the cave as cover.
Although they were affected, it wasn't fatal.
But when Chen Zhao and Aquilati Gisli stood before them, Chen Zhao and Aquilati Gisli
They were still terrified.
After all, they didn't know how Chen Zhao and Aquilati Gisli would treat them.
In the face of these two, all their tricks became meaningless.
"Why did Tegmis bring her here?"
"I don't know." Aquilati Gisli shook his head.
Chen Zhao and Aquilati Gisli both stared at Simenta with scrutinizing eyes.
Unfortunately, after studying for a long time, they couldn't find anything on Simenta.
Something that could make Simenta receive Leviathan Aberhan Tegmis's favor.
Of course, it might not be favor either.
"Forget it. Let's go back." Chen Zhao shook his head. "Do you want to go back together?"
Wasn't that obvious? Staying here to drink the demon's company?
…
The four landed on the island and left together.
The research ship was full of unclean things.
But for Chen Zhao and Aquilati Gisli, it wasn't a big deal.
On the way back, Chen Zhao's mind was filled with how to deal with the huge piece of gold.
Almost 20,000 tons of gold, which was more than a quarter of the gold circulating in the world.
Of course, it was almost impossible to sell this batch of gold at its original price.
Moreover, he estimated that it would take at least twenty to thirty years to sort it all out.
The amount of gold was simply too huge.
"Aquilati, what do you plan to do next?"
"I don't have any plans. It's the same as before."
"Continue to cause trouble?" Chen Zhao gave Aquilati Gasley a meaningful look. "If that's the case, you'd better leave my territory. After all, if you bring me trouble, maybe we'll break off our relationship next time."
"I will withdraw all my forces from California. Of course, I might withdraw to even further places."
Aquilati Gasley didn't like facing Chen Zhao either.
That kind of power was so strong that it made people afraid.
He really didn't want to face it.
Especially as an enemy.
"By the way, can you sell me some gold?"
"How much are you going to charge?" Chen Zhao asked.
"20% of the market price."
Chen Zhao glanced at Aquilati Gasley silently.
"Fine, how much do you want?" Aquilati Gasley felt that his offer was indeed a bit low.
"70% of the market price," Chen Zhao said.
"Then what's the difference between buying it from the market?"
This batch of gold had no origin or registration. There was nothing.
Under normal circumstances, it couldn't be circulated.
If he wanted to circulate this batch of gold in the market, it would require a very complicated process.
It was like … money laundering.
The cost of this process would be reduced by almost 30%. He might even lose money.
Aquilati Gasley offered to buy some gold from Chen Zhao.
The most fundamental goal was to resell it and earn the difference in price.
But if he bought it at 70% of the market price, he might only earn money for Chen Zhao.
In that case, he might only earn money for Chen Zhao. He probably wouldn't earn a single cent and would even have to pay for it.
"Then how much?"
"40% of the market price."
"Let's both take a step back, 60%."
"That's not taking a step back. It should be 50%."
"Fifty-five percent. Anything lower than that," Chen Zhao said.
"Fine, 55% of the market price. I want 20 tons."
"Only 20 tons?" Chen Zhao pursed his lips.
"Twenty tons is already very difficult," Aquilati Gasley said.
"I can give you low-interest installments," Chen Zhao said. "You can hide a bit."
"Forget it. The price of gold in the market has been very unstable recently."
"No matter how unstable it is, it won't fall to 55%. No matter what, you won't lose money. If you buy more, you'll have a high chance of making a profit. After all, the American government has to stabilize the price of gold to maintain their purchasing power in dollars."
"How much interest are you planning to charge?"
"Six percent per year."
Aquilati Gasly shook his head. "No, the interest you're paying is too high."
"Definitely lower than the bank's."
"That's different." Aquilati Gasley shook his head. "You didn't pay anything and you're charging six percent per year."
"What do you mean I didn't pay anything? I'm giving you more gold. Isn't that paying?"
"For you, it means you didn't pay anything. We all know that it's hard to sell your gold in a short time."
When the two bargained, they were no different from normal businessmen.
In the end, they agreed on a price. Aquilati Gasley bought 200 tons of gold for $4.4 billion.
That allowed Aquilati Gisli to increase the purchase volume by ten times.
However, he only paid $400 million in advance, which meant that he still owed Chen Zhao $4 billion.
He would pay Chen Zhao in installments over five years.
The interest Chen Zhao gave Aquilati Gasley was 4 percent per year.
This meant that Aquilati Gasley had to pay Chen Zhao $4.8 billion in total.
Of course, Chen Zhao was actually very willing to give him more gold.
Of course, he was also willing to lower the interest and extend the repayment period.
However, Aquilati Gasley was more knowledgeable about finance than Chen Zhao.
If he extended the repayment period, his income would be further reduced.
Chen Zhao considered asking his close friends if they needed some gold as a trump card.
To put it bluntly, Chen Zhao's behavior was killing acquaintances.
Of course, Chen Zhao could lower their risks appropriately and increase their profits as well.
