Chapter 108 Make Money
It's a new house after all, so aside from the normal furniture, there's nothing to surprise you with.
It didn't take long for everyone to visit the entire house and return to the living room on the first floor.
Sitting down on the brand-new sofa, George took out a pair of glasses from his pocket, placed them on the coffee table, and asked Kewen, "This is what you asked me to prepare, so can you explain the plan in detail now?"
"Of course." Kewen didn't give a shit this time. After looking around his friends, he began to talk about his money-making plan in detail.
"First of all, there are many destitute aristocrats in the UK." Cowen said, looking at Penello: "How is your side? Has uncle found the right person?"
"I have no problem here." Penello nodded: "Dad has already found a detective with the best reputation, but in the future you have to settle the employment fee. Dad spent a lot of money this time."
"Don't worry, I guarantee that you can become a little rich woman in one holiday."
Cowen made a joke, and then continued to tell the plan: "The reason why I asked Penello's family to help find those poor nobles is because those poor nobles basically have some antiques in their homes, and they are very short of money. And ours The purpose is to buy antiques from them at a low price!"
"Antique?" George scratched the back of his head in confusion, he had no concept of antiques.
The same is true for George. He doesn't know how to make money from antiques, and it is still "big money" in Cowen's mouth.
Kewen ignored the twins' confusion for the time being, and turned his attention to Zhang Qiu: "How are your preparations?"
"It's a little difficult, but it's barely able to meet your requirements, senior." Zhang Qiu said in a ladylike voice, "Dad has already made contact with Dongfang, and after dealing with many relatives, he contacted some collectors."
"Thank you very much!" Kewen thanked happily.
"No, no need." Zhang Qiu was a little embarrassed and waved his hand quickly.
Kewen smiled back, then looked around and said: "So my plan is: first, the detectives will help us find those poor nobles, then we will dispatch to buy antiques from them, and finally contact the buyers in the East through Zhang Qiu, Sell the antiques!"
"What about our initial funding?" Penello grabbed the point: "I mean, where did the money for our antiques come from?"
"I took out a loan at Gringotts." Kewen replied, "Headmaster Dumbledore was the guarantor, and a technology of 'alchemy items' developed by me was used as collateral, and the loan was taken from Gringotts in total. 100,000 gold Galleons, about half a million in pounds, enough for us to buy antiques!"
The twins exclaimed in shock in unison: "One hundred thousand gold Galleons!"
Penello was also very shocked, whether it was Jin Galleon or British pounds, it was an unimaginable number for her.
Zhang Qiu was even more stunned. After all, she was only born in an ordinary wizard family, and she was also an excluded immigrant family, so naturally she had never heard of such a huge sum of money.
After a while, Penello was the first to return to his senses and nodded: "Then I have no problem. When do we start to act?"
"Of course, the sooner the better, as long as the detective gives us the information, we will set off immediately!"
Cowen said, picking up the glasses that George put on the coffee table: "These are enchanted glasses, through which we can see the 'age' of the antique."
After finishing speaking, Kewen put the glasses back on the coffee table, then took out his wand, and a 'Copy Charm' hit the glasses.
The next moment, the glasses suddenly and rapidly split, and finally divided into five.
Of course, everyone knew what Kewen meant, so they stretched out their hands and chose a pair of glasses to wear.
"How long will your copy spell last?"
Through the enchanted glasses, Penello asked casually while checking the 'age' of the various furnishings in the living room.
"About a week." Kewen replied: "But I can copy it for everyone at any time."
As he spoke, Kewen held the body of the glasses in his hand, and then said, "The body is placed with me, so it is convenient to copy at any time."
At this moment, Kewen felt that his sleeve was being pulled by someone, and when he turned his head, he saw that Spilett, who was sitting beside him, was looking at him anxiously.
Suddenly, Kewen smiled and used the 'Copy Spell' again, duplicating another pair of glasses, and then handing them over to Little Loli.
Spilett happily took the glasses, put them on his face immediately, and looked around like Penello.
...
...
This whole holiday, Kewen is very busy.
The money-making plan went very smoothly, and Kewen had already made a detailed plan. When they went out to buy antiques, they all drank the 'compound decoction' that Kewen had prepared in advance.
Although the taste of the 'compound decoction' was really unacceptable, for safety, everyone pinched their noses and drank it. Then they turned into adults and went to buy antiques from various destitute nobles.
The acquisition took a month, and a total of more than 300 antiques from the East were acquired.
Among them, there are more than 30 pieces of ancient treasures, and the rest are antiques from the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Originally, everyone came across more treasures, but unfortunately, those poor nobles knew the value of antiques, which made it difficult for Kewen and the others to fool them and find them.
However, Kewen didn't care either. Originally, he only planned to do this temporarily, just to get some money temporarily, just enough to spend.
After the acquisition, Kewen asked Ollivander to help him buy a "traceless stretch suitcase", and put all the antiques into a huge box that seemed to be a "small world".
Afterwards, Kewen drank the 'compound decoction' and flew to the East by plane alone. On Hong Kong Island, he met with the collectors whom Zhang Qiu's family contacted.
In line with the principle of 'low sale', Kewen sold all the more than 300 antiques at a low price, but even so, he also received nearly 150 million pounds.
After that, Kewen went to the United States again, and contacted a classmate who returned to the United States after the holiday - Tybor Staro.
With Tybor's help, Cowen exchanged all his pounds for gold at the Bank of America, and eventually returned to Diagon Alley with a large amount of gold.
No wonder wizards across the British wizarding world hate the goblins in the goblin bank because they are so cheap.
If Kewen didn't want to run around and toss around again, he would never exchange gold for the Goblin Bank.
Because of nearly 150 million pounds of gold, Kewen finally exchanged only 25 million gold Galleons.
Under normal circumstances, it should be able to exchange 30 million gold Galleons...
