Chapter Seventy-Five: The Pawnshop
The pawn industry has existed since ancient times, it is said that the earliest came out of the Northern and Southern Dynasties period, it is the product of the operation of Buddhist temples, the price of the pawn is only half of the pledge, and high interest must be paid when redeeming, it was called the temple treasury at that time, and it was changed to a pawnshop during the Ming Dynasty. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the destination of the first stop of the two today is a pawn shop.
"Brother, look, there are so many people on the street! The car is so big, the building is so high, I've only seen such a tall building from the computer, my brother ......"
The two took a taxi, and the baby had to sit in the passenger seat, and she kept exclaiming since the beginning of the car. This child has been staying in the small courtyard since she was born, and she has never seen much of the world, and she screamed excitedly when she saw the traffic and high-rise buildings on the main road.
The taxi driver couldn't help laughing, his whole body trembled, and he said in his heart Where did this stupid girl come from, it seems that she has never seen a high-rise car in eighteen or nineteen, and she is really evil.
Long Da Shao wants to find a crack to get into, shame on you! He sat alone in the back seat, fidgeting, and suddenly saw a copy of the day's 'Jiangcheng Evening News' in his hand, which he didn't know who left behind. Read the newspaper, distract yourself, and when you go out with the little girl in the future, you must bring a bottle of 'quick effect', otherwise you will be in trouble if you really have a heart attack.
Jiangcheng is a big monster, and the evening newspaper sells in the morning. Jiangcheng Evening News is a strange thing, its name is Evening News, but it goes on the market in the morning.
'In many high-end residential communities in the city, burglaries have occurred, and the owners have lost a lot of property. According to the police, this series of cases is suspected to have been committed by a pair of male and female thieves. The male and female thieves have been committing crimes in several cities for more than a year, and the amount involved in the case has exceeded 10 million, and the two have never been caught. At present, the police have set up a special task force to deploy control in various parts of the city, strive to solve the case as soon as possible, and restore a harmonious and stable living environment to the citizens. ’
Long Dashao saw that there was a stirring spirit here, there were really male and female thieves, I originally thought it was the gossip that Li Lei and they heard, but I didn't expect it to be published in the newspaper. Fortunately, the place where I live is not an upscale community, and the male and female thieves are definitely not interested in visiting.
A huge traditional character 'dang' appeared on the side of the road, this is a famous pawnshop in Jiangcheng 'Yixin' pawn, Long Da Shao and baby came to this golden copper frame glass door in front of the door, feeling that they suddenly became much smaller.
The gate is at least five meters high, and the huge word 'dang' hangs overhead, giving people a feeling of unattainable. The two stone lions three meters away at the door are very strict, like a mountain in the waves, and people with weak aura will even tremble slightly when they stand at the door.
Slowly pushing open the door, a middle-aged man in a black suit was immediately greeted by the receptionist: "May I ask if the two of you need capital turnover?" ”
Long Leiyan looked at the layout inside, the hall of hundreds of square meters, the layout of the inside is somewhat similar to the bank business department, the window is the customer rest area, rows of sofas and coffee tables, and TVs. The innermost part of the hall is a counter separated by explosion-proof glass, leaving only a gap for trading.
Long Da Shao nodded to the reception staff and said, "I want to pawn a watch, you see!" As he spoke, he untied the Rolex Green Ghost Sport watch from his wrist and handed it to the man.
The reception staff hurriedly made a gesture of invitation and said, "I'm sorry, I'm only responsible for reception, please go directly to the counter, it's lunch break, there are no other guests, you can go directly." ”
This person's speech and actions are very standardized, Long Dashao nodded, and took the baby to the counter. It's lunch break now, and there is an elderly man on duty at the counter, this person has a standard local support central hairstyle, wears tortoiseshell-rimmed glasses on his face, is in his fifties, and is sitting in the window reading the 'Jiangcheng Evening News' When he saw a guest, he hurriedly put down the newspaper.
"Hello, do you need help?" The old man spoke Mandarin with a Jiangcheng accent.
Long Leiyan handed the watch from the trading port and said, "Recently, I have been a little tight on hand, I want to take it seriously." ”
The old man put on a pair of white gloves on his hand, took a white cloth to cushion it, and carefully took the watch. He didn't look at his watch first, but looked Long Leiyan up and down. The old man's eyes were like a condensed spotlight, and Long Leiyan was hairy when he saw it.
In the end, Long Leiyan's scalp exploded, and he even had the urge to beat him. The old man withdrew his gaze, looked at his watch carefully, picked up a magnifying glass and looked at it again, and then swept it with something similar to a scanner.
Only then did he say something that made Long Dashao want to vomit blood: "Do you have an invoice?" ”
Long Da Shao hurriedly shook his head and hurriedly made up nonsense: "No, this is a gift from someone, I was embarrassed to ask for an invoice at the time, and then my friend passed away and there was nowhere to find an invoice, this is a symbol of our friendship, if it weren't for the tight hand, I wouldn't take it out and pawn it." ”
The old man at the counter smiled secretively and said: "We have two forms here, one is live, that is, your pledge can be redeemed, but the loan you get is relatively small, and the other is dead, the pledge cannot be redeemed, which is equivalent to selling to us, do you see which one you choose?" ”
Redeem? Why am I redeeming this thing, how much do I want if there is a micro god! Long Da Shao shrugged his shoulders and said nonsense: "Die, as soon as I see it, I think of my friend, and I feel uncomfortable!" ”
The old man at the counter nodded abruptly and gave Long Leiyan an expression that I understand, "May I ask if you have brought your ID card?" ”
Long Leiyan shook his head, he didn't expect to use his ID card when he went out today, he and the baby didn't bring it.
The old man smiled even deeper, looked down at the computer in front of him, and said, "Just now our system has given the price, 10,000 yuan!" If you need it, I'll get you a bill right away. ”
This sentence surprised Long Dashao twice, 10,000 yuan? The new Rolex is only given 10,000 yuan? The price of this watch is 150,000 or 60,000 yuan, even if you wear it, the pawn can't be worth 10,000 yuan!
Long Dashao has also been a thing before, and he has a general understanding of the market, and he should be able to give more than half of the value of the item when he dies, and it is reasonable that this watch can be given at least sixty or seventy thousand.
Long Dashao subconsciously asked: "Uncle, you are not wrong, this is a Rolex, absolutely true!" ”
The old man at the counter smiled: "I know it's true, and I know that we only have one piece of this watch in Jiangcheng at present, where is this limited edition watch sold, there are archives in the system, your piece is absolutely true, because of this, I will bid you 10,000 yuan!" ”
Long Dashao was completely confused, because Mao clearly knew that the price he really gave was so low. When I came, I knew that I would definitely be slaughtered if I went to pawn, but I didn't expect this knife to be so ruthless. I can't even sell it for 10%. Is this swollen?
