"7180…7390…7500…"
Gu Yu shook his aching hand and lay down on his bed. He couldn't help but smile. It was already night.
This morning, after Gu Yu fished up this chest of gold coins, he did not hurry to count them. Instead, he hid the chest in his room.
Then, she went to cook. As expected, not long after, Gu Xiuxiu and Liu Feifei arrived.
They had to go back to school this afternoon, so they would definitely come to Gu Yu in the morning.
After accompanying the two girls to play at home for the whole morning, their family members came to pick them up at the village entrance after lunch. There, Kuching would drive the primary school students to school in Gu Yu's new car. A new week of classes had begun again.
Gu Yu returned to his room and started counting the gold coins.
There was a total of 7500 gold coins in the chest. Gu Yu checked on his phone and found that the chest of gold coins had an impressive background. It was the five-pound gold coins issued in 1887 for Queen Victoria's 50th anniversary.
At that time, the money issued in England was pence, krona, and pound. However, don't misunderstand, it was not paper money, but copper coins, silver coins, and gold coins.
The base system wasn't like the present, which was the decimal system, but the twelve-base system.
In 1971, England changed to the decimal system.
The money was probably not produced in England because it was a little rough. If nothing went wrong, these gold coins should have been issued after England occupied India.
It was unknown if it was because of the war or the pirates, but this chest of gold coins sank into the sea. Now, it was Gu Yu's turn to benefit.
The circulation of this kind of gold coin was not small, and there were many of them in existence.
But even so, this thing was a product that had been sleeping at the bottom of the sea for more than a hundred years.
Taking ten thousand steps back, if one gold coin was 40 grams, it would be worth 13,200 gold coins according to the current gold price of 331 grams. Moreover, it had a history of more than 100 years. It was not too much to sell such a gold coin for 16,000 gold coins!
There was 75 million here, which meant 120 million…
Gu Yu couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air when he thought of this. Yesterday, he couldn't sleep for more than 10 million, but today, he had earned more than 100 million? He became a billionaire just like that?
"Calm down, calm down. It hasn't been realized yet. This money isn't mine!”Gu Yu rubbed his face hard and muttered softly. After taking a few deep breaths, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up. Although the money had not been cashed out yet, he was not in a hurry.
It was different from the Ming Blue Flower. After all, that item represented the history of Yan Huang. If he wanted to sell it, he could only sell it privately. It was not possible to be too high-profile, but these gold coins could.
These things were the history of England and had nothing to do with Yan Huang. Moreover, it was obvious that these gold coins were salvaged from abroad. It could be said that they had nothing to do with the imperial court. Gu Yu did not feel the slightest burden if he wanted to sell them.
"These can be sold to the auction house. This thing has no historical value, but I guess there will be many people overseas who want it!”He picked up a gold coin, smiled and said happily.
This time, it seemed that he would have to change his arrangements for the end of the month.
He originally wanted to go to the mountains with Gu Jianjun after the fish pond in his backyard was built. After coming out of the mountains, he would go home. However, it seemed that everything had to be brought forward. Before he went home, he had to make a trip to the capital and sell these gold coins.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look forward to the end of the month even more.
He placed the gold coins back into the chest and sealed them properly. Gu Yu lay on top of the pile of gold coins and slept. This feeling…alright, he was losing sleep again.
However, because he had not slept for the entire night, he still fell asleep in a daze in the latter half of the night.
He slept all the way until ten o'clock the next day. Even the barking of dogs and cows in the morning did not wake Gu Yu up.
When he went downstairs, the Mountain King and Tyrant were already hungry. Seeing him come down, the two of them took the initiative to walk over with their food bowls in their mouths, their eyes filled with anticipation.
As it was too late, there was no time to make soy milk, fried dough sticks, seafood porridge, and so on. Gu Yu directly cooked a big pot of noodles and then ate with these two guys.
After dinner, Gu Yu returned to his room. He didn't know if it was because of the gold coins, but Gu Yu felt that if he didn't stay in his room, he would feel insecure.
Even when he was fishing, he couldn't help but speed up.
He didn't even want to leave the house, let alone be discharged.
This feeling lasted for a few days before Gu Yu felt a little better. It was not that he had thought it through on his own accord, but because the fish pond at the back was completed.
Today, Gu Yu left home after Gu JunCai told him that the fish pond was almost done. He went to the back of the house and sure enough, the fish pond was basically ready.
The ceiling, the outer walls, and the inner walls were all painted. There were a total of three large ponds in the fish pond. The largest one was used by Gu Yu to store the sea fish. It was also relatively deep, more than two meters long, about 6,000 square meters. There was also a smaller one, about 3,000 square meters, which was used to store freshwater fish. It was also much shallow, only about one meter long.
There was also a small pond that was about 1,000 square meters. It was built by Gu Yu to be safe.
If one of the ponds was full of fish, he could put it there so that it would not be a mess. The passages around the fish pond were made of anti-corrosion wood and anti-slip mats. The fish pond was covered with several layers of waterproof cloth, and then anti-corrosion wood was laid. It was also painted with waterproof paint many times to ensure safety.
Ninety-nine percent of the doors were already opened, and the outer wall was connected to Gu Yu's courtyard wall. The only thing missing was the door.
According to Gu Yu, there were a total of two doors. One was the main door. When Xu Jin came to fish in the future, he could look through the main door. The other was the small door that led directly to his house. It would be more convenient for him to enter and exit in the future.
As for the door, it was naturally well made. The main door was made of the best anti-theft door. The small door inside led to Gu Yu's house after all. Therefore, Gu Yu also had a fingerprint lock and an anus membrane identification. Even if a thief came, he would not be able to open it. In the entire world, only Gu Yu could open it.
After these things were done, Gu Yu generously paid the rest of the money to Gu JunCai. He did not deduct a single cent of the reward money. Seeing how shabby Gu Yu was, Gu JunCai specially asked his workers to clean up Gu Yu's house before leaving.
With this sum of money in hand, they did not have to worry about anything this year.
After they left, Gu Yu also locked the door and opened the well to draw water. Now, these pools were not just pools. These things were all money!
I
continued to post. I didn't dare to look at the results now. I just had to look forward to it. Today, I saw someone earning more than five million yuan for the electronic version of the novel. Some even said that it was more than seven million yuan. But whether it was five or seven, it wasn't something I could look forward to. My goal was to get a fraction of their earnings. As long as it was a fraction, it would be fine…even a fraction of the fraction would be fine…I was really envious…
