"Business was really easy back then. No matter what it was, as long as it was unloaded from a large ocean-going ship, there would be countless people chasing you with silver in their hands to buy it. You never had to worry about selling it.
“Although Western gadgets are becoming more and more popular nowadays, more people are doing this business, and the business in our store is not as prosperous as it was in the beginning.
"But our Linglong Pavilion has always been the largest, most comprehensive, and best-selling Western-style shop in the capital."
Ye Laosan suppressed his excitement and listened to the shopkeeper reminiscing about the glorious days of the past for a long time before he finally saw the silver that belonged to him.
Four hundred and four taels and eight cents!
This is a full four hundred taels of silver!
When the shopkeeper said this before, Ye Laosan didn't take it seriously, but when he actually saw so much silver, he couldn't help but feel a little flutter in his heart.
After seeing the shopkeeper off, he didn't care about the pain of the silver and pounced on them directly, examining each of the ingots one by one, wishing he could take a bite of each one.
After a long while, Ye Laosan got up, tidied up his messy hair and clothes, rubbed his chest which was hurt by the silver ingots, took out the share that should be given to Wang Ge, put the rest into the cabinet, and then went to the opposite room to call Wang Ge out.

"Third brother!"
Ye Lao San could understand his excitement and nervousness, but he still smiled and kept it a secret, saying, "Don't worry, it will definitely exceed your expectations!"
Wang Ge's psychological expectation was twenty taels of silver. When he heard that it exceeded his expectations, his heart beat so fast that it almost burst out of his chest.
"Come here." Ye Lao San said as he pulled Wang Ge into his room. He pointed to something covered with a handkerchief on the table and said, "Go and see for yourself!"
Wang Ge took a few steps forward and stood in front of the table. He took a deep breath and then lifted the handkerchief with trembling hands.
When he saw four silver ingots, two large and two small, and some loose change under the handkerchief, he was completely dumbfounded.
This is not just exceeding expectations, it is clearly far exceeding expectations!
