Chapter 30 New Ideas for Trading
Josie didn't know about the bad situation of the "good guys" who had taken the blame for him, and didn't care.
Anyway, he is living a good life, so that's fine.
I sleep until dawn every day before getting up. In my free time, I go horse riding and basking in the sun on the farm in the suburbs with Margot, just to play golf and bowling.
Or go boating in Michigan, watch a play in a theater, or watch a movie in a cinema.
The entertainment life is extremely rich.
The two of them looked like a couple, just like a bunch of newlyweds on their honeymoon.
Of course, while getting married with Margot, Josie didn’t forget her career—the plane smuggling business with Daenerys.
Although most of the time is spent with Margot like glue, but it is not so that there is no free time.
So occasionally I would run to major gun shops, bookstores, and black markets in Chicago to buy the things Daenerys needs.
Every night at 7 o'clock, no matter whether the transaction is made or not, he will basically take half an hour to lock himself in the study and get in touch with Daenerys.
Margot was a little curious about Josie's special habit of locking herself in the study for half an hour every day, but she didn't ask any questions at all.
After all, she is no longer an ignorant little girl, and she knows the truth of leaving enough private space for the other half.
What's more, Josie still maintains the good living habits of most urban youths in her previous life, no smoking, no drinking, no gambling, no chicken farm (no chance).
A man with such good living habits is completely a rare treasure in Margot's eyes, not a treasure.
That is to say, when it comes to some things related to her, she will be a little domineering... But in Margot's eyes, it is completely an advantage.
So in this case, why bother with this little insignificant problem?
"Daenerys, I brought you something new." At seven o'clock in the evening, Josie said looking at Daenerys in a gorgeous court dress on the screen.
This court dress was given to Daenerys by Josie. It is the same style as Queen Elizabeth, and it was custom-made by Josie at a large price.
Well, yes, Queen Elizabeth is not the Queen.
After all, in 1943, the king of England was still the stuttering king, George VI.
And the future queen who is famous for being able to live is still just a little girl who has just turned 18 years old.
is limited by productivity, and Daenerys' current environment.
Her clothes are naturally considered high-end in her own world, but on the earth, let alone the United States in the early 20th century.
Even compared with the European aristocratic costumes of the 15th and 6th centuries, it seems a bit too simple.
Of course, it would be fine if it was earlier. Before the Renaissance, European court costumes were not much better than those in Westeros.
Daenerys likes this dress very much.
After all, there is no woman who does not love beauty.
And as a queen, in many public occasions, she really needs to use decorations to highlight her special status.
"What?" Daenerys asked curiously.
"This is it!" Along with Josie's operation, Daenerys received a transaction reminder.
She couldn't take her eyes off soon.
Because it is the same as the court dress that Josie gave her before.
These jewelry and tableware are really exquisite.
There is no doubt that Daenerys is not unseen.
In terms of wealth, the current Josie can't compare to Daenerys in ten thousand.
So now it is only about the quantity, size, quality, etc. of jewelry.
It is impossible for Josie to surprise Daenerys.
Even the ordinary royal family, nobles and rich people on the earth may not be able to compare with Daenerys.
But the fact that the raw materials cannot be compared does not mean that the craftsmanship is not good.
As long as you have watched Game of Thrones and paid a little attention, it is impossible not to notice those jewelry decorations that are obviously in style at first glance, but are actually extremely rough.
Although in many cases, manual craftsmanship can give crafts a soul different from mechanical products.
But no matter how good the craftsmanship is, it needs technical assistance.
So in ancient times, the polishing of gemstones was a very fine and highly intensive technical work.
Especially diamonds, because they are too hard to cut.
Because the phase is hard, it is brittle. If one operation is not good, the big diamond that was originally good will be cracked and shattered.
In addition, some materials that are cheap in modern times are extremely precious in ancient times.
For example aluminum...
The extraction of aluminum requires an electrolytic process, so it is conceivable that Westeros, a world that still maintains a half-slave and half-feudal society, is so precious.
So what Josie gave to Daenerys was a set of exquisite aluminum diamond jewelry.
Those tableware are also all made of aluminum.
These things that were worthless in the United States at the beginning of the 20th century, in Daenerys' world, are enough to become the supreme collection of any royal family.
"Very exquisite jewelry, huh? What is this material? I thought it was silver, so light." At first, Daenerys thought that these jewelry were just exquisitely crafted silver or platinum (natural platinum), But after getting it, she found that it was a lighter and softer metal than silver, which she had never seen before.
"This is aluminum. I'm not afraid to tell you that it is a metal with extremely high reserves in our world. In theory, it is also in your world, but its refining process is quite special. With the technology of your world, if you want to refine It's almost impossible to come out—maybe the dragon flames of the dragons you raised are fine, but the output!" Josie raised her eyebrows and didn't continue.
But Daenerys had heard it clearly.
"Interesting, I think I see what you mean." Daenerys's face was full of smiles "I have to say, this is indeed an interesting idea, Josie, seriously, besides gold, you can Is there nothing else you want? Seriously, Josie, if this goes on, the gold in my vault will be emptied by you sooner or later."
Since Josie made it clear that this thing is worthless in his world, it means that Daenerys can exchange it with ordinary gold, platinum or other wealth at a relatively low price.
Then change hands to sell to those nobles and rich people at a price far exceeding gold or even platinum, and grab huge wealth.
Another win-win deal.
"Haha, Your Majesty was joking. With the things I gave you, it's not easy for your treasury to be empty. But speaking of this, I do have some new ideas about our transaction." Josie smiled Said.
"Tell me about it," Daenerys said.
"Raw materials!" Josie said.
