July 27, 1937, Shanghai. There is only half a month left before the battle to defend Shanghai, which shocked the world!

The girl triumphantly said that this lady was his grandmother, and her father was in her belly!

The boss cautiously asked, "Your grandfather?"

The girl whispered: "Sacrificed, the Battle of Yangshupu." ”

The bloody battle of millions of people in the largest metropolis in the East had an unimaginable impact on the people of Jiangnan.

When the boss heard this, he hurriedly apologized, and the young man took over the conversation and talked about their family affairs and the two bottles.

This young man is not the girl's own brother, but his cousin. And the girl's grandfather was originally a Hakka, and after graduating from Whampoa, he joined the Northern Expeditionary Army, and then he has been serving in Shanghai. Before the August 13 battle, he already knew that Shanghai could not be defended, and he also knew that the upcoming war must be a bloody battle. So he sent his wife and children away, and he was ready to stay in this metropolis and defend it forever. The two bottles were the couple's beloved beloved, the wife took one and the husband kept the other.

In fact, after leaving Hudu, this lady did not go to Nanyang to join the eldest brother of the Zhao family according to the arrangement arranged by Lieutenant Colonel Zhao, but stopped in southern Fujian to wait for news. As a result, in the confinement period, I waited for the bad news that Lieutenant Colonel Zhao was martyred and Shanghai was lost, and at this time, Japanese warships also appeared in the sea off southern Fujian, and Mrs. Zhao had to take her two children to Malaysia on a British steamer.

The young man said: "Actually, we have already heard the news of this bottle, when the Battle of Songhu began, this vase was in my uncle's headquarters, and later their troops received an order to go to the strategic place of Yangshupu. The uncle and grandfather estimated that they were ready to be martyred at that time, so they gave the bottle to the landlord of their regimental headquarters, and said that they would come to pick it up when the triumph came. If he doesn't come, give it to him. After that, there was no news. ”

The girl continued: "My grandmother's body is not as good as it is a year after year. Especially this year, I always say that I dreamed of my grandfather, and when I woke up, I looked at the remaining Yongzheng plum bottle in a daze. ”

The boss sighed, not knowing what to say.

The young man said, "We really didn't expect to see this bottle in Pingzhou. Boss, you see if this will work, I will definitely ask for this bottle, but we have to go back to Kuala Lumpur immediately, first, an elder told me about it, and secondly, we need to go back to get the money. ”

The boss said strangely: "You still have to go home and get the money?" ”

The young man said: "That's right, my little sister goes to school in Fudan, and our family has family rules, if you want to study in the West, you must first study in the mainland, and you can't forget your roots." I actually came to deal with some business matters this time, and then came to see Xiaomei's, and I didn't bring so much cash. We don't have any industry on the mainland for the time being. ”

The boss nodded: "This family rule, alas, your Zhao family is really patriotic!" However, this bottle is on consignment and will expire tomorrow. ”

The young man nodded: "I think so, I put my watch on you, and this watch is worth about four or five hundred thousand yuan." As a deposit, do you think it will work? ”…

As he spoke, the young man took off his watch and handed it to the boss, who took it and felt that the watch was very weighty and looked very high-end, but the brand, cough cough, I really don't know it. To be honest, in Chinese mainland at the end of the nineties, he knew a lot of Swiss watches, Rolex, Plum Blossom, Earl, Radar, Longines, Ingle, these all know, but he has never seen this brand.

Now is not the time to show timidity, the boss smiled and said, "Nice watch, but you have to find an expert to see, do you mind?" ”

The young man nodded, "Yes." ”

The boss returned the watch to the young man and said with a smile, "It's not far ahead, let's go over." ”

The three of them walked for less than 300 meters, turned into an alley, and saw a very dilapidated signboard with the words "Shanghai Famous Watch Maintenance".

Entering this hut, an old man raised his head and looked at the three of them: "Look at the watch or repair the watch." ”

The boss smiled and said, "Master Lu, I want to see a watch." ”

The old man did not stand up, but sat down in his chair, and in front of it was a workbench with various parts, all sorted into a long row of iron boxes.

The old man stretched out his hand: "Take it and take a look." ”

The young man took the watch off his wrist again and handed it to the old man.

The old man took the watch, turned on the lamp on the table, looked at it carefully with a magnifying glass, took out another notebook, flipped through it for a long time, and checked it with the number of the watch cover.

The old man raised his head and said, "You have to open the back cover, which of you is the one who says?" ”

The young man said, "Let's go, but not the core." ”

The old man didn't talk nonsense either, just mumbled in his throat.

The old man retrieved the tool and quickly opened the back cover, revealing a sophisticated mechanical rudder movement.

The old man took a closer look with a magnifying glass, checked the movement number again, and then stared intently at the movement for about a minute, slowly buckled the back cover of the watch, and said: "Breguet noble limited edition, authentic, accurate timekeeping." ”

The boss smiled and said, "Give me a price." "But I said in my heart that this won't be a domestic watch, what other high-end things can Baoji produce!

The old man thought for a while and said: "This watch is for Breguet to celebrate the arrival of the nineties, and it is sold in a quantitative direction around the world, if I collect it, 42. If you want to sell it at a high point, you have to go to Shanghai, Yuhang doesn't have to go, they can't give me the price." ”

This 42 does not mean 42 yuan, but 420,000!

The young man smiled and said, "The old man has good eyesight, this is indeed a limited edition in the nineties, and it was a gift from my parents for my eighteenth birthday." ”

The old man nodded reservedly.

The boss put a hundred-dollar bill on his counter. So he took the brother and sister back.

On the way back, the chattering little girl gave the boss a Breguet watch, and the boss knew that co-authoring Dajin Lao was not the best watch, and it was far from this Baoji watch.

Back at the store, the boss and the young man named Zhao Jiachang quickly signed an agreement. The deposit is that the Breguet limited edition watch is priced at 400,000 yuan, and the bottle is also placed in the store first, but it is not allowed to be sold, and within five days, the Zhao family will buy the bottle at a price of 1.5 million.

After signing the agreement and leaving the watch, the brother and sister hurried away, and they were about to go to book a plane ticket.

The next day, the old man brought his son and came to fetch his bottle. Why did he bring his son here, is to let this unfilial son see with his own eyes that his father sold all his beloved bottles, but he didn't sell them! In the future, he won't ink any entrepreneurial things, and this matter will end here.

But when he arrived at Baoguangzhai, the old man got a thunderbolt from the blue, the bottle, sold!
