Chapter 3: This is "Latent"
The price given by Shopkeeper Zhou, Wang Xu was already very satisfied.
It's just that in business, judging from the attitude of the shopkeeper Zhou, this price should not be the bottom line.
After thinking for a moment, Wang Xu stretched out two fingers and said, "Two small yellow croakers, a watch, it's okay, if it doesn't work, I'll change it." ”
"Two!" Shopkeeper Zhou frowned slightly, walking in the room, his face was a little embarrassed.
The watch is a new product, and it is shipped from abroad, and the starting price of a watch is generally around 40 oceans, and 50 oceans are sold.
Wang Xu's watches are more high-end than those, and he only gave a purchase price of 50 oceans, if it is more expensive, it seems to be a little worthless.
"Shopkeeper Zhou, my watch is not an ordinary product. You look at this luster, and then look at this process, they are all first-class and superior choices. People who have the money to buy watches don't care about being so expensive. "Wang Xu's purchase is cheap, but compared with the 21st century, in 1940, these watches are enough to lead the trend.
In these years, those who have money are really rich, and those who have no money are starving to death on the street.
People who can take out 40 oceans to buy a watch will not care about the price of the watch, whether it is more expensive.
What they pursue is grade, trend, and taste, Wang Xu is very confident in his coated watches, and his business with Zhou's shopkeeper is a win-win situation.
"Okay, it's just two small yellow croakers, but I have one condition, next time I have a new product, you have to continue to take care of me!" Zhou's shopkeeper's business was big, and after the price was agreed, twenty-four small yellow croakers were quickly taken out.
Wang Xu was not very familiar with gold, so he just used a stupid method to scratch the gold bar twice.
Gold is relatively soft, and real gold bars can leave clear scratches when scratched with a hard object, while fake gold bars do not have this ability.
Looking at the clear mark on the gold bar, Wang Xu smiled more satisfied, and said again and again that he would continue to cooperate next time.
"24 small yellow croaker, adding up to two and a half catties, is not a small number in modern times. However, it seems a bit silly to only take the gold bars back, and the best way is to use the gold bars and buy some antiques, so that it is a million profits! ”
Gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times, this is the last word that has not changed through the ages.
In China in 1940, antiques were not valuable, because of the war, these things depreciated badly.
On the other hand, the reality is different, the common people are rich, the world is stable, and the price of antiques is like bamboo blossoming, one section is higher than the other.
Moreover, the time and space on both sides are only seventy years apart.
In the antiques industry, even if it is identified by technology, the difference between decades is very subtle, and no one dares to say that it is a fake.
Wang Xu secretly pondered, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this road was feasible, and it was more effective than simply taking the gold and returning.
The only concern is that I don't understand antiques, and if I buy a fake and go back, it will be a shame, but I will be thrown to my grandmother's house.
"I'm not familiar with life here, and it's inevitable that someone will be deceived when buying antiques, so it would be nice if someone could match me. Before, I saw that Zhou shopkeeper was good, did you go back to him for help? No, I'm not familiar with the shopkeeper Zhou, in my situation, it's best to take a shot to change places, it's troublesome to be targeted by someone with a heart, so it's better to be cautious. ”
Wang Xu is not an agent, but he still has instinctive vigilance, and he cherishes his life very much.
But thinking about it this way, he was a little difficult again, if he didn't go to the shopkeeper Zhou for help, where should he go to buy real antiques.
"Lotus leaf chicken, freshly baked lotus leaf chicken, ancestral craftsmanship, no money if it's not delicious!"
wandered aimlessly on the street, until a burst of shouts selling lotus leaf chickens pulled Wang Xu back to reality.
Wang Xu smelled the fragrance, he was really hungry in his stomach, looked up at the store, and suddenly froze: "Hey, it's Sun Honglei again!" ”
Sun Honglei, no, it should be Yu Zecheng, who is walking to the store at the moment.
Wang Xu suddenly thought that he could ask Yu Zecheng for help in this matter, Yu Zecheng in the TV series looks very enthusiastic, he is a military commander on the surface, but secretly he is an underground party, he will never hack his gold.
I remember that in one episode, Yu Zecheng saw the picture of the little beggar who couldn't eat enough, and gave the meat buns he ordered to the little beggar to eat. Judging from here, this person is definitely not bad, but the identity of a double agent keeps him at a distance from people all the time.
However, others are afraid of Yu Zecheng's identity, but Wang Xu is not afraid.
He is a modern person, and after getting the antiques, he returns to the modern era, whether he is a military commander or a central commander, it is not a matter for him.
"Yu..."
As soon as Wang Xu wanted to come forward to talk, he heard Yu Zecheng, who was walking in front, and said to his buddy with a smile: "You lotus leaf chicken, you don't need money if it's not delicious, bring me a bad one, I just didn't bring money today." ”
"Yo, look at what you said, you're an old customer, but you don't have money, I can't let you in!" The guy smiled, couldn't help but say, and pulled Yu Zecheng inside.
The customers in the store obviously knew Yu Zecheng and smiled in response.
But Wang Xu noticed that Yu Zecheng had such a conversation with his buddy, and a porter pulling a rickshaw at the door was as if he had heard an order, he got up from the car in a drowsy manner, and ran away with the car.
"It's a joint, right?" Wang Xu wasn't sure, but he felt that it might be the case.
Before, he clearly saw the porter, sleeping in the rickshaw, and there were no guests around, so there was no reason to be woken up and run away with the car.
Thinking of Yu Zecheng's true identity, Wang Xu felt that it was doubtful, after all, others didn't know, but he knew that Yu Zecheng had already joined the underground party at this time.
"Man, let's have a lotus leaf chicken!" Wang Xu walked in and found a place to sit down.
After a while, the lotus leaf chicken came up, and he looked out while eating, intending to see who was the person who connected with Yu Zecheng.
As a result, the person who connected didn't see it, and after only a few minutes, Yu Zecheng appeared in front of him.
"Friend, we're meeting again, what a coincidence!" Yu Zecheng still has that simple smile, which feels very kind.
But I don't know if it's because of the thief's weakness or some other reason, Wang Xu always feels that the air around him is a little cold.
"yes, what a coincidence." Seeing Yu Zecheng, Wang Xu knew that the person who connected would definitely not appear.
He didn't know how he was discovered, but seeing Yu Zecheng's meaning, it was obvious that he was coming at him, and there was scrutiny in his eyes.
"Mr. Yu, I have no ill will towards you, I'm a little curious, and I'm going to ask you for help." Wang Xu is not afraid of being discovered by Yu Zecheng, nor is he afraid of his purpose being exposed, because the style of the underground party is different from that of the military commander, but there is no policy of preferring to kill mistakes rather than let go.
Yu Zecheng is a military commander on the surface, but in fact he is an underground party, and his methods of handling things have also changed.
If Yu Zecheng hadn't joined the underground party, he believed that as long as he had the slightest suspicion, he would be taken away and thrown directly into the interrogation room.
But now, Yu Zecheng is more like testing his identity and pondering his intentions, and he doesn't mean to turn his face when he comes up.
"Help, we don't know each other, do we?" Hearing the word help, Yu Zecheng was a little confused.
Even more confused that he was still behind, only to see Wang Xu directly take out the bag, push it forward, and said, "I know you, you don't know me, it's complicated." I really beg your help, this is 24 gold bars, I want to exchange 20 gold bars for antiques, and the rest is your labor fee. ”
"My friend laughed, I don't understand what you're saying." Yu Zecheng's hand touched the bag, as if he had touched a landmine, and quickly took his hand away.
Wang Xu believed that he had figured out what was in the bag, and said sincerely: "I really ask you for help, as long as the things are bought, the four gold bars are yours, and the trading location is also yours, I don't ask." ”
"More than twenty gold bars, you believe me so much?" Although Yu Zecheng is wise, he is not a monster, and it is a little difficult to understand how to look at Wang Xu.
Wang Xu didn't think so, nodded slightly, and said: "In Tianjin City, I don't believe you, who else can I believe, you have to help me with this matter!" Besides, now that the price of goods is so high, the life of the family is not good, and the four gold bars are used well, which is of great use. ”
"Hehe, you must be a madman, I still don't understand, take your leave." Yu Zecheng turned around and left, no matter how Wang Xu shouted, he didn't look back again.
Wang Xu himself wondered, the task of the underground party is to engage in materials, why don't Yu Zecheng want the money sent to the door.
Is it too little, shouldn't it, the labor cost of four gold bars is really not low, if he didn't know that Yu Zecheng was a person, he wouldn't dare to give this money.
After thinking about it, Wang Xu understood a little, he knew Yu Zecheng's identity, and Yu Zecheng didn't know him.
Under the asymmetry of information, Yu Zecheng should not regard his identity as an agent of other departments, but think about it.
