The pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info taxi slowly stopped in front of the pawn shop designated by Leo, two huge bronze lions look lovely, fountain flower beds and gilded plaques give people a quiet and antique charm, maybe it is a lazy afternoon, maybe the environment is like this, the pawn shop at the moment is a little cold

Opening the car door, glancing at the price of more than 30 yuan, Leo handed the driver a 50 bill, politely said thank you, waved his hand and refused the other party's change, closed the door He squinted his eyes and looked at the building in front of him, if it wasn't for the drop that was obviously higher than the ordinary staircase, he couldn't feel any similarities with his ancient counterparts here

Maybe it was Leo's appearance that was different from that of the Chinese, or it was the first time the driver received the so-called tip, the taxi slowly rolled down the co-pilot's window behind it, and the master poked the probe and hesitated for a moment before shouting

"That...... Sir, you pay attention to safety, there are too many doorways in these trades, if normal people are not forced to have no way, no one will come here, anyway, there is little work at noon, do you want me to wait for you here? ”

With a warm heart, Leo turned around and shook his head with a smile, he understood what most of his compatriots thought of this place, whether it was novels or film and television works, there was almost never a positive evaluation of the pawnbroking industry, and now he could still remember the simple dialogue description written in the book of Teacher Februaryhe when he was a child

"A tattered insect moth without fur jacket should be tattooed with two taels of silver...... The silver and goods are both good, and the words are proof! ”

The high voice and the tone that could be dragged out became one of the scenes of curiosity and longing for Leo as a teenager, but he never imagined that one day he would also walk into this legendary business with a tall counter......

Of course, as an adult, Leo also understands that since the beginning of the new millennium, the pawn industry has quietly sprouted again in the north and south of China, under the special supervision of banks and laws, the nature of the pawnbroking industry has changed from the beginning to more professional and legal, real estate mortgages, fixed assets appraisal, and even many large enterprises themselves are also involved in auctions, financing, industry and so on......

If you talk about security, as long as it's not the kind of street with cards all over the street, it should be the safest place except for the bank

Standing quietly for a while, waiting for the taxi behind him to completely disappear from the traffic on the main road, Leo did not immediately climb the stairs, but turned his head to look around, and then quickly walked to the façade of a supermarket sign not far away

After a while, Leo slowly walked out with a black slanted shoulder bag, and before he knew it, the bag changed from shriveled to bulging, which was filled with gold coins with the help of the system

Checking the strap with one hand, the weight of ten kilograms is not a burden for him now, what makes Leo happy that the bag is strong enough, and after smiling, Shi Shiran walked to the door of the pawn shop......

Maybe it was because everyone was subconsciously lazy at noon, until Leo was already standing in front of the automatic glass door, and a young woman in OL costume who was cheering inside saw the guest, and hurriedly covered her mouth and walked forward quickly with the folder in her hand

Just when Leo was surprised that the other party's high root length could run so fast, the woman who looked a little charming under the carefully trimmed professional makeup had already greeted the door with a smile on her face

His eyes swept over Leo's ordinary sports brand in an instant, and when his eyes fell on his face, he slightly revealed a hint of surprise that was well concealed, bowed slightly, and the deep career line on the neckline of the short-sleeved top flashed, and the woman greeted in standard English

"Good afternoon, sir, welcome, I'm Wu Li, you can call me Vivian, can I help you?"

Different from other service industries, although the woman who claimed to be Vivian saw Leo carrying a very cheap satchel at first sight, he did not take it or offer to help diligently due to professional habits, and Leo couldn't help but take a few more glances under the evidence

You must know that there is no class in life, everything can be cultivated, and after three years in a high position, Leo's aura is already very strong, even in ordinary times, the people around him can feel the majesty of nothing

As a countryman himself, how could Leo not know about some unspeakable bad habits, since the other party is like this, for his own interests not to be harmed...... After thinking about it, he also replied briefly in English

"Good afternoon, I have some business for you to take care of......"

The standard London accent confirmed Wu Li's first opinion, smiling brightly, slightly wrong half a step, she reached out and led Leo to the sofa in the hall, and after the other party sat down, she first glanced at a colleague not far away, and Wu Li asked again

"Mr. Tea or Coffee?"

While speaking, his hands were not idle, a heavy antique metal ashtray and a lighter to match it, which were placed lightly in the right hand of Leo

"Black tea, thank you!"

Because Leo, who had quit smoking in the other world for a long time, was not polite, Shu Luo took the metal cigarette case from the coffee table, popped one out of it, threw it into his mouth, waved his hand, took the lighter from the hands of the courteous Wu Li, lit it himself, took a deep breath, leaned on the soft sofa without any stage fright......

Soon, the steaming black tea was served in a white porcelain cup and was brought over by another person, and Wu Li also sat down with her long legs crossed about thirty centimeters away from Leo, which was a very delicate position, which could not only make men feel a little ambiguous about being noticed, but also allow the other party with privacy to keep some distance

Taking a sip of black tea, Leo frowned, he began to miss the craftsmanship of the housekeeper Lao Jialin, nodded politely, but his mouth was very decisive, and he interrupted the other party's soft introduction to the company

"Madam, I understand your industry, and I understand what I'm here for, I have to say that the scorching afternoon always makes people tired easily, I think it's better for us to get down to business!"

Undoubted tone and demeanor do not seem to be fake, how can the staff who can do this job have fuel-efficient lamps, Wu Li saw this, her eyes bent into a crescent and gently pressed her lips and smiled charmingly

"Yes sir, I don't know what you need to come here, vehicles, real estate, shops, gold, jewelry, everything we can meet your requirements, of course, our company is also very honored to accept any pledged items, they will be the best custody and security until the final ownership is finalized......"

"Gold! I need to sell some gold! ”

Extinguishing the cigarette in his hand in the copper ashtray, Leo casually put the heavy satchel beside him on the coffee table, and the metal made a crisp sound on the surface of the glass through the bag

Showing an unexpected expression for the first time, Wu Li's gaze lingered for a long time on Leo's half-blooded handsome face and backpack, and then he came back to his senses and spoke a little embarrassed

"Hmm...... Sorry sir, if it is a pawn or sale item, especially gold or gold products that are strictly regulated by the state, we need to confirm your identity and ownership, and whether you can present your valid ID, passport, driver's license or any other legally valid identification document"

This is also the proper meaning, not to mention that Leo was mentally prepared for this, it can be said that it is not surprising, and he took out the crumpled passport that was pressed from his butt pocket sideways and handed it to Wu Li with one hand

"I know you have a way to confirm, I still have a lot of things to do, and time is precious to me!"

After Yu Guang saw the familiar cover, the smile on Wu Li's face was even worse, she grabbed the passport in her hand and twisted her waist to stand up, and after instructing the staff behind her to take care of Leo, she stepped on her high heels with a crisp voice on her forehead and walked towards the back of the hall

Just a cigarette, Leo, who was bored looking at the fashion magazine on the table, heard footsteps coming from a distance again, the difference is that in addition to the familiar sound of high heels, there is also a steady and heavy movement of a man walking

casually threw down the pictorial in his hand, leaned on the sofa Leo's legs slightly apart, crossed his hands on his abdomen, and looked indifferently at the passage around the corner, sure enough, soon Wu Li diligently followed a half-bald man, roughly aged around forty-five years old, and a sturdy figure reappeared

Before he got closer, the man smiled heartily and said in a thick Shanghainese accent

"Welcome, Mr. Zhang, I'm the manager here, and I'm very honored that you've been in this industry for ten years, and you've been the first American guest we've received!"

Saying that, the article manager did not forget to wave his hand to Wu Li behind him to signal her to translate quickly, seeing this, Leo also stood up, slightly habitually sorted out the T-shirt on his body that was no more than three hundred yuan, and said directly in Chinese

"Hello Manager Wen, as long as the speed and accent are not too heavy, I can understand, I think there is no problem with my identity, right, then can we start to enter the substantive stage?"

When he said this, Leo was a little apprehensive, although he believed in the omnipotence of the system, but he did have some reservations in the passport, anyway, in his opinion, the ability to invade the old American system and tamper with things without being found This kind of thing appears at most in the movie!

The smile on his face remained unchanged, and the article took the passport from Wu Li's hand and handed it back to Leo with both hands, and shook hands with Leo

"I'm relieved, as soon as I see Mr. Zhang, I know that you must be a nobleman, I don't know if my mother or father is from our Chinese? You speak Mandarin so well, it's not like me, I can't change my accent for so many years......"

After several people sat down one after another, Leo didn't want to waste time greetings, he knew that the enthusiasm of these people in front of him was completely the instinct of the profession, this moment he felt that it was profitable to please you in every way, and the next moment he would be abandoned after there was no use value, of course, maybe the identity brought by that passport also played a little role

Leo pointed to the bag in front of them

"Ms. Vivien should have said that I brought this because I need a certain amount of money for certain things"

After speaking, in the inquiring eyes of Manager Wen, Leo nodded and signaled to the other party at will, and after getting the owner's permission, the seemingly bold manager also put away his habitual smile, and took a pair of white gloves from the staff behind him without looking back, a trace of expectation and caution flashed in his eyes, and gently unzipped the backpack......

Then everything in front of him made even if he was as calm and sophisticated as him, he couldn't help but gasp, and Wu Li, who was sitting next to him, stood up directly......
