Chapter 20: The Pawnshop
The skills learned in the army are basically chicken ribs for ordinary people, is it possible to go out to buy vegetables and use reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance? Playing a game and using a special target training?
Without the ability to survive in society, you can only do some of the simplest hard work.
"Forget it, your own family is in charge of your own affairs, who is not more pitiful than who!"
Wang Yan shook his head and turned to leave.
Minghu is an ancient city, there are many ancient buildings in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and even in the Tang and Song dynasties.
After many natural and man-made disasters, many older industries have had to make changes, but some have remained, such as pawn shops.
"Loyal Pawnshop, that's a good name!"
Looking up at the flashing neon lights on the door frame, Wang Yan stepped in.
This is the edge of the new city, the streets are full of people and very lively, but the Zhongyi pawn shop is like a strange flower in the downtown area, very deserted.
In fact, it is normal, most of the people who come to the pawnshop are in a hurry to use money, and they are in a hurry to get angry, and they are deducted by the owner of the pawnshop for various reasons, how can they be happy.
When Wang Yan entered, there happened to be someone doing something, but the atmosphere between the words was quite depressing.
It was a young man who looked to be twenty-five or sixteen, with a thin body and a pale face, and at first glance his body was hollowed out by wine.
He wanted to be a palm-sized jade piece, because of the angle, Wang Yan couldn't see what was carved clearly, and he didn't care too much.
He's here to pawn gold, and he's not interested in anyone else's stuff.
"I still want 100,000 yuan for a piece of broken jade of B goods, you want to go crazy if you want money! If you want to sell it for fifty dollars, you can sell it, and if you don't sell it, don't bother me to do business. ”
The boss snorted impatiently, and then instantly changed his smile and said to Wang Yan: "What is this little brother going to be?" Although my store is small, it is also a time-honored brand for more than 200 years, the goods are genuine, and the children are not bullied, and they know when they go out to inquire. ”
"What you do as a pawn is to rob while the fire is burning, desperately lower the price, and return the child to deceive your father!"
With a disdainful snort in his heart, Wang Yan took out a handful of gold bars from his pocket and put them on the table.
This is the high-purity gold he spent five points to exchange, 500 grams each, a ton of 2,000 sticks, and he only took out ten of them.
There are many different types of mission worlds, and the types of currencies are even more numerous. Detached from the corresponding social system, paper money is no different from garbage, and precious metals such as gold are the real hard currency.
As for the problems caused by the use of gold, he would not pay attention to the people who could trouble him because of ten gold bars.
"What is this?"
Seeing what Wang Yan had fallen on the table, the boss's face instantly turned cold, and there was a hint of scrutiny in his gaze when he looked at him.
"Although our store is open for business, it also has a minimum principle and bottom line. Those who come from unknown sources will not be collected, those who are dug out of the ground will not be collected, and those who are deceived and deceived will not be collected. Little brother, take it back, you should go to the black market, not the pawn shop. ”
The boss said with a cold face.
"Since you do this business, you must have seen a lot. I've come all the way, why don't you read carefully before making a decision! ”
Wang Yan said with a smile.
"Don't look at it, this specification of gold is only available in banks and treasuries. If you come normally, you can go to the bank, where the price is 10% higher than mine. ”
The boss is very sure, but out of professional ethics, he still observes carefully.
"Huh?"
Seeing the gold bar in his hand, the expression on the boss's face froze, and his eyebrows wrinkled.
"There aren't any markers that would indicate the source, are they recast?"
The boss put down the gold bar in his hand, frowned and asked, "Where did you get this thing from?" ”
"You don't care where I'm from, just say whether you accept it or not!"
Wang Yan smiled and asked.
"Now the price of 1,000 pure gold is almost 330 yuan per gram, and I charge it at the price of 300 yuan. Ten gold bars are a total of five kilograms, or one and a half million. ”
The boss fiddled with the abacus a few times, and then said.
"Yes, I want cash."
Wang Yan nodded, without the slightest expression of joy on his face.
He had exchanged a whole ton of gold bars for the Lord God, which was not even a hundredth of a hundredth. Moreover, his life has embarked on another trajectory, and money is really just something outside his body for him, and there is no need to pursue it too much.
Many of the people who come to the pawnshop to pawn things are unknown, and even their identities are not very clean. Pawn shops usually prepare some cash for the purpose of doing business with such people.
Wang Yan's identity background is very clean, but he also understands the truth that money is not leaked, so he wears a hat and a mask when he comes, and he directly chooses cash for transactions.
Anyway, I have time to keep it in hand, and I'm not afraid that there will be no place to put it.
"Okay, please wait!"
Seeing Wang Yan's indifferent appearance, the boss was basically sure that he was not an ordinary character. Although I don't know why I take gold bars, for this kind of customer, we must adhere to the principle of clear trading and no deception.
This is his credo in business, and it is the reason why he has survived for so many years.
"Boss, do you want to ......?"
Not long after Wang Yan left, a hideous-looking man walked out from behind and made a neck wipe at the pawnshop owner.
"No!"
The boss shook his head, and then said, "Although this person didn't show his edge, I always had a feeling of fidgeting next to him. In this way, you follow, and if you encounter something that is inconvenient for him to make a move, you can solve it, but don't be found. ”
"Got it, boss!"
After receiving the order, the big man went out, and the boss of the pawn shop had a thoughtful look on his face.
After coming out of the pawn shop, Wang Yan was in a very good mood.
"Five points can be exchanged for a ton of gold, and ten gold bars are exchanged for one and a half million, and if you calculate it, five points can be exchanged for almost 300 million. Tsk tsk, money is really something outside the body. ”
Hehe laughed twice, Wang Yan didn't take a taxi, nor did he go to the bus stop, but walked towards a very remote alley.
Minghu is an ancient city, and it is also an ancient city that has not completed the renovation of the old city.
It is not uncommon to see low-rise houses on the edge of the tall buildings, not to mention that the Zhongyi Pawnshop is already on the edge of the new city.
"There are always people who are egged on by greed to do something stupid."
With a somewhat helpless sigh, Wang Yan turned around and burrowed into a dim alley.
It's a dead end, and after almost thirty meters of zigzag, there's no way out.
