“Of course. No matter what kind of gold it is, we can change it all here.” As he spoke, the shopkeeper picked up the gold bar and inspected it.

Needless to say, the color was excellent. No matter which side it was, there were no words engraved on it. There was no explanation of where it was made. Only then did the shopkeeper realize that something was wrong. However, as the shopkeeper of a bank, he had seen a lot of the world and had encountered many things.

The innkeeper quickly regained his composure. He smiled and said, “I’ve never seen you both before. You seem unfamiliar. May I know where your residence is?”

He was probing for their backstory.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan naturally wouldn’t say anything to expose them. Instead, Jiang Yue spoke up first. We still have a few more of these gold bars. If your bank is willing to exchange them for silver notes and ingots of equivalent value, we’ll take them all. If you’re not willing, we’ll go find another bank. You don’t have to inquire about other things. This is purely transactional.”

“Yes, yes, yes.” The shopkeeper smiled. “Our bank will accept them. Who would push such a big business away?”

The quality of the gold was immaculate. If it was made into beautiful gold ornaments such as gold hairpins and gold collars, the price would be much higher than the same amount of gold received. It would be very profitable.

“Please, we will accept them all. No matter how much gold you have, we will take it.” The shopkeeper hurriedly said.

“Alright then.” Jiang Yue nodded and took the gold bar from the shopkeeper’s hand and put it back into her sleeve.

It looked like she had put it into her sleeve, but she had thrown it into her space.

Then, Jiang Yue continued, “Let’s sign the contract first. We have five thousand pieces of gold, which can be exchanged for fifty thousand silver. However, we don’t want all of it in cash. We only want 500 taels of silver. They should only come in ten or twenty. The remaining amount should be in banknotes. We don’t want large banknotes. We want smaller banknotes, a hundred, two hundred, five hundred, and a thousand. After signing the contract, we will hand over the banknotes and silver ingots in one hand and the gold in the other.”

“You have five thousand gold?!” The shopkeeper was so excited that he was trembling. He knew that there might be more than one gold bar, but he did not expect there to be so many.

The server who was serving at the side almost knocked over the teapot in his hand.

“Yes.” Jiang Yue and Xue Yan both nodded.

“Then, where’s the gold? Did you bring it?” The shopkeeper swallowed his saliva. If the exchange was successful, he was on his way to retirement.

Although he was even more curious as to why the two people in front of him had so much gold, they had already bluntly said that they would not tell him more details about themselves. Naturally, he would not ask anymore, lest it affected the business.

Even if the gold was stolen, their bank would still dare to do business here. After all, their bank had a strong backer in the capital.

“Yes, we did bring them, but after we sign the contract only then you can count the gold. It won’t be too late for us to count the silver and banknotes.” Jiang Yue said.

The shopkeeper was also smart. He knew that not only was he guarding against the two people in front of him, but the two people in front of him were also guarding against the bank. If he wanted to do this business, he had to do it in the most civilized way.

Moreover, there were so many people in the bank. If they handed over the money and delivered the goods at the same time, there was a chance that either of them would be cheated…

“Alright,” the shopkeeper said.

After that, he hurried to the counter and asked the person who signed the contract to quickly write a document to exchange 5,000 gold for banknotes and silver. He also asked the server to quickly prepare these banknotes and silver.
