Taking gold was just a matter of words. Given the current relationship between Feng Jun and Huangfu Wuxia, taking thirty or fifty thousand taels of gold was easy enough.
Feng Jun was delighted to hear that. "Did you get the graphene?"
"I got some of it—a sample," Huangfu Wuxia replied happily. "Around a hundred taels."
Feng Jun answered with a smile, "A hundred taels isn't much. That's only about one tael of gold. Look how pleased you are."
"It's more than one tael of gold," Huangfu Wuxia said, shaking her head as her expression turned serious. "They already said that one tael of gold can only be exchanged for twenty taels of graphene. You don't know... processing this stuff is exhausting, and it's rather light. Producing one tael takes a long time."
Light? Feng Jun understood. Graphene naturally would not be heavy, but... "The price increased fivefold just like that?"
Huangfu Wuxia spread her hands and said helplessly, "They were the ones demanding a price increase. They even said it was only because we were trading grain... Interplanar trade is like this. You name a price, they counteroffer. You understand the advantages of your plane, and they do too."
"One for twenty," Feng Jun mused. At that price, he would not need to worry about ending up with too much graphene.
The high-purity graphene in the Blue Star Realm cost several times more than gold. He should not lose money on this deal—even if a large volume affected graphene prices.
Spending one hundred thousand taels of gold could get him one hundred tons of graphene, which was not an especially large amount.
At Phone Plane rates, one hundred thousand taels of gold could only buy one hundred thousand tons of flour. On the Blue Star Plane, how much was one
