Chapter 01: Pawn Heirloom

Next Chapter

Huaxia, Yuzhou City, the first city of antiques in the world!

Next to an antique street, there is a very luxurious-looking residential community, which is lined up in rows, all of which are small Western-style buildings in European style, which looks a little different under the surrounding antique buildings.

In one of the bungalows, there was a short mockery.

"You say you little waste, what kind of school are you going to, quit school early to earn money and support yourself. You said that you are eighteen years old, we provide you with food and drink, and now you still have to pay for tuition, why?"

A middle-aged woman who looked to be in her forties, with wavy hair, shouted angrily at the young man in front of her.

The young man in front of him was named Lin Yang, and he was holding a piece of paper in his hand, which was the admission letter of Jinling University, and the major shown on it was archaeology.

"With the fact that you took my father's insurance compensation of 300,000 yuan back then!"

"What kind of insurance indemnity? You little brute, you've learned to talk back, haven't you? Over the years, what you have eaten and drunk has been used for nothing, and you don't need money, and the compensation has long been spent. ”

After hearing Lin Yang's words, the middle-aged woman immediately scolded.

The neighbors surrounding him all pointed to Lin Yang's nose and chattered in a circle.

"This kid ...... It's so unreasonable, how can you talk to your elders like this?"

"He has also been at his second aunt's house for three years, and now the prices in Yuzhou City are high, and the compensation is not enough to spend after deducting taxes or something. ”

"I can't blame his second aunt for saying that he deserves it, this kid finally got admitted to a university, isn't it good to choose a computer finance major? ”

At this time, the second uncle, who was smoking a stuffy cigarette next to him, began to speak.

"Little rabbit cub actually filled in archaeology behind our backs. You don't want to learn this. I'm not going to give you a dime!"

The cigarette butt he was holding was shaking, and a pile of ash had fallen on the ground.

Lin Yang paused, he didn't expect the second uncle to say that.

Since the second aunt married into their Lin family, she has been notoriously mean. He knew this in his heart, but he never cared too much about it, but today the second uncle was also ......

"Second uncle, archaeology, it's not what you think. ”

Lin Yang's father used to be an antique dealer, traveled from south to north, and also had some savings, but the disaster was not alone, an accident, Lin's father and Lin's mother both died in a car accident.

The Lin family, framed by their former business partners, was burdened with huge debts, and all their belongings were sold to pay off the debts, and in the end only 300,000 car accident compensation remained.

At that time, Lin Yang was not yet an adult, and 300,000 yuan could only be placed with the only second uncle and aunt with guardian qualifications.

But when the money reached the second aunt, it disappeared. On the eve of Lin Yang's college entrance examination, the second aunt's mouth and tongue began to increase. I was afraid that Lin Yang would be admitted to the university and have to spend a lot of tuition.

And the second uncle said hello to Lin Yang early before, even if Lin Yang was admitted to university, he had to apply for the computer major, and he could come to his company to help when the time came. If Lin Yang had a little other idea, he wouldn't pay for this tuition.

At this moment, a girl came out of the room, her palm was placed in front of her waist, and on it was the manicure she had just done for three hundred a few days ago.

"Want money again?"

The second aunt nodded.

Her daughter is pampered, she doesn't go out to work after graduating from college, even if she gnaws at home, she still looks down on people every day.

"Mom, don't give money to this kid! This guy eats and drinks for nothing in our house every day, and now he still wants money to study, if you really spend this money, you won't even hear a sound. ”

"Lin Fang, when is it time for you to speak here. ”

Lin Yang said coldly.

"Mom, look at this guy...... What kind of attitude? This bun is fed to the dog, and the dog will wag its tail twice with you, but look at him. ”

Lin Fang began to be coquettish in front of her second aunt.

The second aunt suddenly blushed with anger, and immediately said a very ugly sentence.

"Get out of here! this is not your home!"

Lin Yang was stunned, obviously surprised by the second aunt being able to say such a thing.

After a few seconds, he reacted and rushed out of the door......

Running through the streets of long stones, he had mixed feelings.

In three years, he had had enough, had enough!

"Mom, Dad, Mom, why did you leave so early?"

He felt that there were infinite emotions hidden in his heart, and they gushed out.

Before I knew it, I came to the nearby antique street, and when I stepped here, it was as if I had traveled to another dynasty. At this time, Lin Yang calmed down. That western-style building, if he goes back, he will inevitably have a gold belt around his waist, and wealth and fame will coexist.

Thinking about it, he pulled out an old watch from his pocket.

The dial of this watch is black and white, the watch body is very noble gold, and the strap has been broken and taken down by Lin Yang, and now only a bare watch body remains.

However, this small watch is a world-famous Vacheron Constantin, and it was brought back by Lin's father when he went abroad to hunt for treasure and brought it back to Lin Yang as a birthday gift.

However, at the moment, Lin Yang was really desperate, so he had to sell this watch and exchange it for some money, and the future can only be said later.

As far as the eye can see, a "No. 9 pawn shop" appears in my eyes.

Lin Yang walked in directly, and after crossing the threshold, he could see a high counter, and the boss's fat head came out of the window.

"I have a watch, Vacheron Constantin's, can I be it?"

Lin Yang deliberately lowered his tone.

But his face still looks like a teenager, and he is far from the old fritters in the antique business.

The fat boss glanced down and waved his hand.

"Only clean goods are collected here. ”

Lin Yang heard what the fat boss meant, and hurriedly responded.

"Don't worry, there are few people in Yuzhou City who have this watch. ”

With that, he put the watch on the counter above.

The young man next to him glanced at Lin Yang a few times, and joked angrily.

Vacheron Constantin's, a lot of money. It's not something that the average person can afford to wear. ”

The young man had the same meaning as the fat boss, that is, he thought that the watch in Lin Yang's hand was stolen at all.

In this pawn shop, in addition to all kinds of antiques, some of the luxury goods produced now, including famous watches and bags, real estate and luxury cars, can all be used. As a result, many thieves will use pawn shops as a place to sell stolen goods.

After a long time, pawnshops will also keep an eye on all kinds of customers.

Lin Yang stepped forward and took the watch, "Since I don't accept it, then I can only go to other places to take a look." ”

"Little brother, don't worry, you have to show me first, the price is not suitable at that time, and it will not be too late for you to leave." ”

The fat boss put down the teacup, for fear that the business in front of him would run away.

He took a closer look at Lin Yang and found that this young man looked good, his demeanor was relatively generous, and his face was born from each other, and he judged that the young man in front of him would not be a thief.

"Look at it, let's just give a price. ”

Lin Yang took out the watch again.

The fat boss put the watch on the palm of his hand, looked at it carefully, and listened to the sound of the hands turning on the dial, and he immediately gave a conclusion.

"This thing, it's really true. But the price is ......."

For him, it doesn't take so much effort to identify a watch, just by listening to the sound, he can identify whether it is a copycat or not.

Ye Tian was not surprised, because the fat boss was wearing a Patek Philippe gold watch on his wrist, so he was naturally a person who knew the goods.

"This pawn thing is all discounted by 30%, I know. ”

Fat boss Yile, "You little brother, you know a lot about the pawn industry." Since you are a knowledgeable person, I won't talk nonsense with you, a fixed price, five thousand!"

"Five thousand ......" Lin Yang paused.

"Don't be too low, it's an old model from a few years ago, and it's not worth that much. This is not like antiques, the older you are, the more valuable it is, luxury goods, once they change hands, at least two percent off, the rules of the pawn industry, the original value is discounted by three percent, so I can only pay five thousand here. ”

The fat boss is a sincere person, and he calculated it clearly for Lin Yang step by step.

When Father Lin bought it back then, it was only more than 10,000 yuan, and the fat boss gave this price, which was more conscientious.

But for Yang, this watch is the only relic left by his parents, and it is priceless.

"Okay, but I choose to live. ”

There are two kinds of pawn shops: live pawn and dead pawn, and dead pawn is naturally like selling at a discount, which cannot be redeemed. In today's terms, it's more like pressing things and charging high interest.

The fat boss was taken aback.

"Little brother, I'll tell you. We don't have cheap interest here, and we can only keep it for you for up to three months. ”

"yes, I see. ”

Lin Yang directly agreed.

But after three months, if you want to get this watch back, the five thousand will definitely not be enough, I'm afraid it will cost 10,000.

Since the guest requested, the fat boss began to go through the formalities for Lin Yang.

After all the formalities were completed, the young man in the store took five thousand yuan and handed it to Lin Yang with a dissatisfied face.

At this time, the fat boss smiled with squinted eyes.

"Little brother, is there anything else you want to be?"

Lin Yang touched his body and took out a pendant from his neck, which was a crystal clear stone, dark green, which looked very much like jade.

But he specially went to identify it, and it was not jade at all.

Thinking about it, he took the pendant off and said to the boss.

"Can this thing be used?"
