The Beacon of Laiyang Metal

Chapter 6 Everything is ready
  A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. No matter how ambitious Weiyuan's goal is, he still has to eat one bite at a time. After placing the order for watches and diamonds on Taobao, he began to consider the second issue of traveling - the choice of destination.

There are currently two candidate locations: Yanjing and Modu;
  As the capital of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Yanjing has been under rule for hundreds of years, so it goes without saying that it has accumulated wealth.

Although the Qing Dynasty is now over, there are still many Manchu survivors, old and young, living there. Except for some dandy children who lost their fortunes due to smoking and gambling, the remaining large part of the population has strong consumption power.

In addition, during the Republic of China, although Peiping was no longer the political center of the country, it was the largest gathering place for higher education in the country, including famous schools such as Yan University, Huaqing University, and Normal University.
  During this period, most of the families of students who were able to go to college were either rich or noble. You must know that tuition expenses alone are a very huge expense for ordinary families, not to mention living expenses, etc. overhead.

Generally speaking, unless the family is particularly enlightened, few people can go to college. At that time, the national education penetration rate was less than 10%, which means that as many as 90% of people in the society are illiterate. It is already very important to be able to go to high school. A rare intellectual.

This group of students studying at the university, in addition to having a rich family background, are also relatively receptive to new things and are willing to pay for novel things. They can be said to be Weiyuan's high-quality potential customers.

The Magic City was considered because of its strategic location. It is located in eastern China, at the estuary of the Yangtze River facing the Pacific Ocean. It has many natural ports and terminals. It is the only world financial center in Asia and the largest city in the Far East;
  The world's major banks, insurance companies, etc. have all settled in Magic City. Magic City was also an important source of fiscal revenue for the National Government at that time. The economic prosperity brought together people from all walks of life and backgrounds to settle here, including politicians, European and American celebrities. , domestic youth, overseas adventurers and ladies all gathered in the Magic City.

In addition, the government was weak at that time, which resulted in numerous concessions in the capital. Each great power set up its own concession area to divide its respective spheres of influence. The National Government in the concession area had no law enforcement and personnel appointment rights, and even the right to tax was deprived of it. A country within a country.

This also resulted in the entire Magic City being a mixed bag at that time, with numerous gangs and kidnappings, robberies and assassinations everywhere. Gang leaders such as Huang Jinrong, Du Yuesheng and Zhang Xiaolin were born. The Qing Gang alone had more than 3 members in the Magic City alone. Gang members.

The complex social environment has brought about public security problems, which can also serve as a cover for Wei Yuan's identity. He can pretend to be an overseas Chinese and sell goods. Moreover, the prosperity of the Magic City's economy has also brought sufficient economic consumption power. This This was also the reason why the magic city was full of dance halls and foreign companies at that time.

After some thinking, Wei Yuan placed his first stop in "travel" in the Magic City. The reason is simple. In film and television works, the old Magic City gives people the impression of being a ten-mile foreign business, synonymous with drunkenness and wealth. As a future generation, The young people in the small town also want to experience the bustling scene of drunkenness and wealth.

Now that we have the trading products and the first destination is determined, what else is missing?

Suddenly something occurred to him. He hurriedly got up from his chair and went to the dormitory building behind the office. He opened the door of his dormitory and took out a navy blue suit from the corner of the closet. This suit was from the year he graduated. , I took graduation photos in the university dormitory. Each person spent 3000 yuan to collectively customize them at Heilan Home.

At first, I didn’t know what kind of “chicken soup” literature I read for brainwashing. It was said that men should have a set of decent clothes because they don’t have many clothes. So the guys in the dormitory thought that they would be “successful people” after graduation and entered the society. Stomping spent 3000 yuan each to customize this brand counter suit. But let’s not say it’s expensive. It’s expensive for a reason. After buying it for several years, it was washed and sun-dried and it didn’t fade at all. The wrinkles on the clothes can be smoothed out with just a touch of hand. It’s just that I have been exposed to wind and rain all these years. I rarely have the chance to wear it while running my business, and it has been gathering dust in the cupboard.

I tried it on in front of the mirror, and it was good. Fortunately, I haven't put on weight yet and it still fits me when I try it on. My temperament has even improved a lot, making me look a bit human-like.

Then he ordered a "top hat" of the same style as Xu Wenqiang on Taobao, a round-frame retro-style sunglasses, and imitation "Yuan Datou" silver coins priced at 50 yuan each, totaling 4 packages or 200 pieces.

When placing the order, the store directly promised in the chat that all silver dollar materials will be made of 999 pure silver. The mother machine for pressing silver coins is also imported from the United States. It is produced by the same company as the machine used by the United States to help Yuan Datou make silver coins;

It can be blown, does not attract magnets, and is just newer. If Wei Yuan needs it, he can help to make it old, but it requires extra money. He is also asked to find an old-fashioned silver dollar for comparison. If he finds any differences, he will be given a full refund. payment.

Afraid of something unexpected happening during his first "travel", he carefully calculated it and found that nothing was missing. Then he was ready to take a shower, change clothes and rest. The trip through the "Japanese" turret was really a bit exhausted. .

Three days later, the express delivery orders placed before were signed for one after another. After confirming that there were no problems with the watches, diamonds, and oceans, Wei Yuan was wearing a navy blue suit, a black hat, and a pair of black leather shoes that were polished with polish. If he added A pair of civilized sticks, properly dressed as an upper-class gentry in the "Old Magic City".

In the office of Weiyuan, a machinery factory:

Sanqing above, may this kid's trip go smoothly; Buddha above, may this "travel" through different time and space not be discovered by the "Cosmic Anti-Smuggling Bureau"; Jesus above, may this batch of goods be sold at a good price;
  Regardless of whether it was useful or not, Wei Yuan first prayed to all the gods and Buddhas in order to seek psychological comfort. Then his consciousness summoned the "system" and loudly said: Let's go.

Then a blue ball of light with lightning appeared out of thin air. In an instant, Wei Yuan and the ball of light disappeared, leaving only a black burn mark on the tiles on the floor.
