Chapter 3: Old and Young Foxes
Half an hour, a full half a day's work.
Yan Wenyuan, this old fox, who is known as the "old fox" in the Jinling pawn industry, was speechless.
But he wasn't intimidated by the price of 20,000 taels. has been in a pawnshop for 30 years, and for Yan Wenyuan, not to mention 20,000 taels of an object, he has been a living and dead pawn of an object of 100,000 taels and 200,000 taels, not to mention this small 20,000 taels.
The foreign watch is still attached to his ear, as if he has no intention of putting it down, in Chen Moran's opinion, this shopkeeper fifty miles away seems to be adding up to the value of whether it is worth it.
Could it be that you were frightened by the price you offered?
Thinking of this, Chen Moran couldn't help but be a little worried, the reason why the lion opened his mouth was simple, he needed money! In the past, he was bent on getting money, but he never needed it so desperately as he does now.
"Mo Ran, there is no rice at home, I'll go to my second brother's house to borrow some rice!"
When he was eating in the morning, the words of the third master who saved him made Chen Moran understand that if he didn't want to get money, he was afraid that the third master would be sad for both of them.
Originally, Chen Moran was still thinking about whether to take out the necklace and let the third master take it away like when he was rescued home by the third master, but thinking that the third master was his own ring, but only three taels of broken silver, Chen Moran still put away the idea, instead of letting the third master go to let the family bully, it was better to go out by himself.
Since the Spring Festival in 07, he left home, although in the past three years, he has spent most of his time in the house making plates and making counterfeit banknotes, but in those three years, Chen Moran still learned a lot from his "partner", and because of this, he will believe that he will definitely be able to make a good price.
Although the previous bluff had achieved the desired effect, the current shopkeeper's stunned look made Chen Moran worry about whether he was really a little too much.
Different from Chen Moran's worries, the main cabinet on the counter, who has followed the shopkeeper for more than 20 years, turned his head to see this scene, and he couldn't help but be happy.
"I'm afraid this master is going to lose his hair!"
Thinking of this business, I am afraid that the store will have more dividends this year. Or because of a good mood, when I took the pawn from the counter, I couldn't help but pay a few more dollars.
As if stunned, Yan Wenyuan put the watch on the table with pity on his face and gently pushed it forward, but those small mouse-like eyes were still staring at the watch on the table, all of which looked pity and powerlessness.
"The shop is small and expensive, I'm afraid that the shop can't afford it!"
“……”
This result was definitely unexpected by Chen Moran, looking at the watch on the table, and then looking up at the shopkeeper of the pawnshop.
"Greed! But everyone has greed, but greed also has a limit, the key to doing this business is to catch people's greed! But be kind! ”
The partner's previous admonition flashed in Chen Moran's mind, and thinking of his admonition, Chen Moran realized that he seemed to be too greedy!
"This ......"
Just as he was giving in accurately, Chen Moran found that although the pawnshop shopkeeper in front of him had a pity on his face, when he heard his words, a smile seemed to flash in his eyes.
There is fraud!
When it's a killing shop!
What did you do to make a fortune by opening a pawnshop? It's nothing more than buying low and selling high, this low word naturally has his attention, the bright and low on the counter is just a small amount of money, the real big head, or by pressing the price of those valuable things, how to press?
Desire to welcome or refuse.
Play this hand with the master!
Chen Moran, who understood the meaning of this old slippery head, was happy, this old ghost typically regarded himself as a wronged leader.
"Huh! Again, it's my fault! ”
As he spoke, Chen Moran had already stretched out the watch and platinum chain on the table and put them into his underwear pocket. I didn't see the discoloration on the pawnshopkeeper's face when he made this move.
"When I first came to Jinling, I forgot to inquire about the ability of the shop in Jinling City!"
Although the words went on with his own words, Yan Wenyuan was uncomfortable how to listen to it, this day has entered the wax moon, but it makes this loser disgusting, who in this Jinling City does not know that Wendang is the largest pawnshop in the city, this is good, today is just to walk in this place, just ran into this loser and his baby, did not think about the price and did not suppress it, but let a shudder.
"Anyway, when I bought this watch in France, I spent more than 100,000 taels of silver, and now it's at this pawn shop, this thing, that's what this place can afford!"
As he spoke, Chen Moran seemed to glance at the three rooms with contempt, the "little dang" of the six doors of the Nanmu high cabinet, and at the same time he was about to get up and leave with his crutches.
If my pawnshop is small, I'm afraid I don't know that the pawnshop in Jinling City is big.
Although he was disgusted like swallowing a fly when he heard this, and he was fighting for himself in his heart, Yan Wenyuan still had a smile on his face.
"Hehe, go slowly! I don't send it! ”
The pawnshop shopkeeper's smiling and respectful send-off made Chen Moran, who had already gotten up, secretly cry out in his heart, could it be that he really limped to find the next pawnshop and perform again?
At that time, if people did not cooperate, although he was a little unwilling, he moved with crutches under his feet.
Da, Da...... The sound of crutches, Yan Wenyuan, who was excited, only felt that his heart was blocked, and when he saw that the loser was about to leave the shop, he couldn't help but stretch out his hand when he saw the look of the principal man on the counter.
"This lord, buying and selling is not benevolent! Little old man gives you a word of advice! ”
The voice behind him came, which made Chen Moran, who was thinking about how to "pose" in the next pawnshop, feel relieved, and turned around.
"Oh!"
The faint response of the loser made Yan Wenyuan's heart sink, but there was a smile on his face, all of which were the laughter of the deputy businessman.
"Hehe, the lord is a noble person from Beijing, although your object, although it is worth more than 100,000 taels, it can be taken to the general pawnshop, at most this price!"
Yan Wenyuan stretched out his hand.
"Fifty thousand taels!"
Looking at the pair, Chen Moran nodded as if talking to himself.
"That's a fair price! Thank you for the shopkeeper's mention! ”
“……”
When Yan Wenyuan opened his mouth and couldn't speak, a guy on the counter laughed out loud. Suppressing the fire in his heart, Yan Wenyuan turned his head and glared at the blind guy, but as soon as he turned around, a smile appeared on his face again.
"Huh! Ye Xing is funny! Five thousand taels! Full of Jinling City, I'm afraid there is only this price! ”
"Five thousand taels!"
Hearing this number, Chen Moran was happy, this number is not bad, with these five thousand taels, he can do a lot of things.
As for the reason why he said 50,000 before, it was just pure amusement.
"But ......"
Thinking of the foreign watch that could not be destroyed or soaked in water, Yan Wenyuan stretched his hands into his sleeves.
"If it's in the middle of the road, you can add three thousand taels!"
As soon as the words came out, Yan Wenyuan seemed to puff up his chest proudly, and the previous philistine was completely missing from the mouse's eyes.
"As I said before, it's an emergency! When the price is high, the whole work is to make your friend! ”
At this time, Yan Wenyuan's words will no longer see the humility of a businessman, it seems that it is really like what he said, when it is an emergency, he is also a chivalrous heart, the reason why he offered this high price seems to be really urgent for people's needs, as if it is difficult to save people.
Chen Moran, who had accurately accepted his price, stared at the shopkeeper standing a few meters away and shook his head gently.
"Fifteen thousand taels!"
The number reported by the loser made Yan Wenyuan frown.
"Eleven thousand taels, including your platinum chain!"
Yan Wenyuan, who has never been in a loss-making business, also likes the platinum chain with thick fingers, and it is worth it at this price in terms of color and weight.
"12,000 taels, half a year!"
With his eyebrows raised and his heart happy, Chen Mo said his offer.
The hand that was originally inserted in the cuff was raised violently, and the words spit out from Yan Wenyuan's mouth.
"Director Li, open the ticket!"
Originally, the guests had left, and the counter director who had been watching the master "pluck" from this person on the counter heard the master's instructions, and hurriedly picked up the brush and sang while writing.
"Succession, a Swiss foreign gold watch, a French white gold necklace, weighing...... Lord, your chain! ”
The head of the counter looked up and stretched out his left hand.
“…… The price of Su Caoping is 12,000 taels, the current period is half a year, the interest is 5 cents and 6%, and the overdue plus interest is 40%, and it is not redeemed after the year, it is for the death of the ......"
Sing it, and the ticket is opened. Taking the pawn ticket from the buddy's hand, Yan Wenyuan put the pawn ticket on the table.
"I don't know if you want cash or two foreign bank coupons!"
As for the official ticket of the household department, Yan Wenyuan didn't even mention it, the capital was occupied by foreign devils, and this official ticket of the household department might become a butt wiping paper that day.
"Three hundred taels of silver! Other ...... Well! HSBC's silver two coupons will do! ”
Chen Moran, who was sitting on the chair, crossed his thighs and crossed his legs, looking at the fox in front of him, and his heart was the one who was scared.
The silver went into the bag and the things went into the cabinet, and when Yan Wen was about to speak in the distance, Chen Moran stood up and saluted respectfully.
"Silently thanked the shopkeeper for today's high righteousness, he said that there will be a good reward!"
"Boom!" The teacup fell from Yan Wenyuan's hand to the ground, he looked at the lame man in front of him who thanked him in a daze, and when his lips opened slightly, the lame man was already limping out of the pawnshop.
