Chapter 631: 625: Too Rich
Roberts Coin is too easy to identify. No other metal has such a pink color. Caleb Shaw did not care about anything else. He directly pointed the personal intelligence from his wrist at the Roberts Coin in his hand and quickly said: “Scan and Analyze.”
“Please wait, the scan results are confirmed. The mined material is Roberts Coin with a purity of one hundred percent and a weight of 10 kilograms.” Caleb Shaw’s personal intelligence quickly gave the answer. When Caleb heard the purity was at one hundred percent, he couldn’t help but gasp.
Roberts Coin and Roberts Coin ore are two different things. You need to know it is very difficult to purify the metal from Roberts Coin ore. The technology required is beyond the capabilities of any ordinary factory, it’s controlled by a few families or organizations.
The purity of the purified Roberts Coin varies greatly. Eighty percent, ninety percent, ninety-nine percent, and one hundred percent are the four thresholds for the purity of Roberts Coin. Each time you advance one level, the technical strength required multiples. Only a few families that Caleb knew of could achieve one hundred percent purity.
However, Finn Lewis was clearly not from those families, yet he held in his hand a Roberts Coin of one hundred percent purity. “Will this do?” Finn Lewis smiled and asked.
“Sure, sure.” Caleb Shaw nodded hurriedly.
“Well, calculating at the official price of 5 million star credits per kilogram, this is 10 kilograms, so it would be 50 million star credits. Is it okay to pay the remaining 30 million after you deliver?” Finn Lewis raised his eyebrows.
“That’s fine… But, Mr. Lewis, are you really buying?” Caleb looked at the Roberts Coin in his hand and asked incredulously.
“You think I’m teasing you?” Finn Lewis raised his eyebrows again.
Caleb sat down again, sighed with a bitter smile, and asked, “Alright, Mr. Lewis, what I don’t understand is, how do you know I definitely have warships and I’m not a con artist? You should know I’ve been here for many years, but I’ve never done any business.”
“I can’t tell you that.” Finn Lewis said, smiling.
Caleb gritted his teeth, “Mr. Lewis, if you can’t give me a reason, I must be frank, I can’t sell you the warship. Not that I don’t want to sell it, but there are many issues involved. So I must have a reason.”
Have any problems been exposed on his end that let Finn Lewis know his origin? That’s unlikely. Caleb was a bit confused. No matter how he saw it, Finn Lewis couldn’t possibly know his identity. But how could he know that he could get a brand new warship without knowing his identity?
It’s a complete contradiction. If he really doesn’t know anything, how can he have such certainty, not asking any questions, and directly finding him to buy something? And he paid with Roberts Coin that was one hundred percent pure? Plus, why would he sell one hundred percent pure Roberts Coin as if it was ninety-nine percent pure?
5 million star credits for one kilogram? Caleb didn’t know who the idiot was who gave Finn Lewis this price. Are you selling one hundred percent pure Roberts Coin for 5 million star credits? For god’s sake, isn’t that too cheap? The price of ninety-nine percent pure Roberts Coin is almost 7 million per kilogram now.
The one hundred percent pure should be at least double the price, around 15 million! And even at this price, there isn’t a market for it. In other words, these 10 kilograms of one hundred percent pure Roberts Coin can be exchanged for a warship and more.
“You must have a reason?”
“Yes, I must have a reason.” Caleb said decisively, biting his lip.
“The reason is simple, isn’t it just 80 million? I don’t care if I lose it. If I get cheated, I will naturally find you, the cheater. Even though the universe is vast, if it’s true, wouldn’t I have bought what I want? This is my reason, are you satisfied?” Finn Lewis said with a smile.
Caleb was speechless. Is this a reason? Just screw it! Caleb almost cursed. Do you know how fucking wealthy that is? Even the inheritors of the nine royal families wouldn’t dare say such words, right?
“If you’re still not satisfied with this reason, then I can’t do anything about it. How about I take out a few more pieces?” While speaking, Finn casually took out another piece of Roberts Coin from beside the sofa’s armrest and placed it on the coffee table, followed by another piece on the coffee table.
Finn soon had five 10-kilogram pieces of Roberts Coin on the coffee table. Caleb was completely dumbfounded. He had never seen so much Roberts Coin at once before. This was hundreds of millions of star credits! It was just casually thrown on the table? If not for constantly reminding himself, Caleb probably couldn’t refrain from rushing over to see how much Roberts Coin there really was behind the armrest of the sofa.
“I… I believe you.” Caleb said with a somewhat dry throat. Although he wanted to say, this reason was too far-fetched, no one would believe it, but… Finn’s money beating was too shocking. Even if he didn’t believe it, he had to. Whoever would sit here would probably have to believe it too.
“Since you believe me, Mr. Shaw, is our deal successful?” Finn Lewis said with a faint smile.
“Well… there’s one more problem. This 10-kilogram piece of Roberts Coin, according to its actual value, is worth about 150 million star credits, which far exceeds the price of what Mr. Lewis wants to buy. The 5 million star credits per kilogram price you mentioned is a joke. Although it is the official price, it is only for buying 99% pure Roberts Coin. Mr. Lewis, yours is 100% pure, and the values of the two sides are different. I can’t accept so much from you.” Despite some reluctance, Caleb decided to speak the truth.
“Oh, the way Mr. Shaw does things is like this. But since I gave it to you, let’s do as I said. This piece is 50 million star credits, and the remaining 30 million will be settled after your delivery. As for how much this thing is worth, I won’t care.” Finn Lewis casually waved his hand and spoke very domineeringly. Finn Lewis had found the state he had while he was on Earth.
