A few days passed in a flash.

Ji Cheng's family of three, Master Cheng and Master Cheng's son Cheng Hailin, as well as several heavyweight jade withering masters of the company, all flew to the beautiful country together accompanied by the workers of Golden Deer Company.

In fact, you don't have to go to so many people, but you pay attention to human feelings in China, you have a good opportunity to travel abroad, don't bring some henchmen and important partners out, who will give you your life when you turn back?

Because there are a lot of things brought back from the eighties this time, Ji Cheng didn't dare to take them out as blatantly as before, for fear of being investigated, after all, the ancient and modern art company is not the small workshop it used to be, there are many people, who knows if it will cause any trouble if it takes out so many things at once?

So he's thinking about how to turn these things from unknown sources into "legitimate" things.

The bag company in the Cayman Islands can be used as a partial whitewashing function, but because the bag company does not have a physical existence, the large purchase may still be suspected.

Ji Cheng has no better way for the time being, so he can only think of ideas slowly.

For example, this time I went to the beautiful country, on the surface, I went to see the plane, but in fact, Ji Cheng wanted to see if he could find a way to "whitewash" things in the eighties.

In the plane.

Ji Cheng, who woke up from sleep in the first class cabin, had other things in his head, that is, since he got the skill of "Time Rewind", energy value has become particularly important.

And in the eighties, because of its own great influence, the system could continuously obtain a huge amount of energy growth.

If you can brush it several times a day, the maximum energy will definitely increase very quickly.

But there is a flaw to the energy value of the system if you want to farm, that is, you can only increase it by crossing it normally.

Ji Cheng can use the maximum amount of energy of the teleportation and normal teleportation, but because he doesn't have much influence in modern society, and if he wants to travel normally with a full load, he can only travel back to modern society from the eighties.

Because every time he crosses normally, the energy in the energy tank of the system will be emptied, and if he crosses back from the beautiful country in the eighties, he will stay in the beautiful country of modern society, and it is easy to find clues, after all, the monitoring equipment in modern society is not vegetarian.

If he didn't brush the maximum amount of energy, Ji Cheng felt that the massive energy growth provided by time and space in the eighties was too wasteful.

So, he went to the beautiful country this time, thinking about whether he could reasonably place a property over there or something, preferably corresponding to his real estate in the eighties, so that he could "brush up on energy" without injury.

Thinking about it, Ji Cheng suddenly saw his father next to him, who was also awake and wide-eyed and didn't know what he was thinking, he suddenly thought of one thing in his heart, that is, according to the information he learned about the development of the relationship between Qin Xiaohui and his father in the eighties, his father and Qin Xiaohui should have cut off contact without a deep understanding, why did he "threaten" this matter a few days ago, judging from his father's reaction, it doesn't seem to be like that?

There's nothing to do on the plane anyway.

Ji Cheng came to his father's side with curiosity, "Dad, ask you something."

Dad seemed to be itching his teeth for being coerced, glanced at him, and said angrily, "If there is a fart, release it."

Ji Cheng knew that his old son had such a temper, and he was not as likable as his young father in the eighties, so he said with a hippie smile: "I want to ask why you and Qin Xiaohui have not been in touch since then?"

Mom is asleep not far away.

When Dad heard Ji Cheng's words, he was immediately frightened, and quickly reached out to cover his mouth, "Don't talk nonsense, you kid."

Ji Cheng lowered his voice and said, "Hey, it's not a big deal, you and I can talk about it carefully."

Dad secretly glanced at Mom and made sure that she was sleeping soundly, so he sighed, "Well, there's not much to say."

There's nothing to say just to say.

Of course, Ji Cheng understood what this sentence meant, so he simply stopped speaking out and listened carefully.

Sure enough, my father showed a reminiscing gaze and said slowly, "I remember it seems to be in 1988

Well, Qin Xiaohui and I became regular pen pals because of the newspaper."

Ji Cheng heard Qin Xiaohui talk about this with his father in the eighties.

"At that time, in the letter, I kept saying that I would go to see her when I had the opportunity to work in the magic capital." Dad sighed and said, "But when I really had the opportunity to go to the magic capital, she was already married."

Ji Cheng sighed, "Haven't you two met?"

"She's married abroad, how can I meet her?" Dad shook his head helplessly, "That's why you said I would go to the beautiful country, and I was so resistant."

Ji Cheng was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean she married into a beautiful country?"

"Seems so." Dad showed a reminiscing look, "I used to have at least one or two letters with her a month, but in the past nine years, suddenly there was no reply from her for half a year, and I thought something had happened to her at that time, but who would have thought that after half a year, I received her letter again, she told me that I was married to a person who had been on a blind date before, and that person seemed to be a blind date with her, I remember that she mentioned it in her letter before, called Zhu ...... What is Zhu coming from......

Ji Cheng blinked and said, "Zhu Licheng?"

"Yes, Zhu Licheng!" Dad instinctively wanted to continue, but seemed to think of something, and looked sideways in surprise, "How do you kid know?" As he spoke, he said viciously, "Have you looked through my letterheads?"

Regarding his father's "fierceness", Ji Chengna is not afraid at all.

He snorted, "Dad, if you do this again, I'll call Mom to get up and listen to your story together."

Hearing this, my father instantly withered, and muttered, "Count you ruthless."

Ji Cheng was very curious about this matter, and according to what his father just said, even if there was no interference from himself, Qin Xiaohui and Zhu Licheng still didn't meet each other on a blind date, but they didn't know how they got together again.

"Dad, what happened? What do you say?" Ji Cheng asked.

"She told me that her husband resigned and went abroad in 92 or 90, and then the turmoil subsided, and her husband came back from abroad and happened to meet her in the mall, and the two of them fell in love after chatting, and then Zhang Luo got married." Speaking of this, my father didn't show a wry smile, "Not long after marriage, she immigrated with her husband, and that letter came to say goodbye to me, probably meaning that I haven't received a confession for several years, so I can't wait."

Alas.

Bad fate.

Ji Cheng sighed that the women of that era were not as enthusiastic and unrestrained as modern society, especially Qin Xiaohui was still a young woman in literature and art, and she liked to hide everything in her stomach, no, her father did not confess to her, which caused Qin Xiaohui to be old and couldn't afford to wait, so she could only find a "suitable" person to marry.

"Although she told me at the end of the letter that if she has the opportunity to travel to the beautiful country, she must contact her." Dad smiled self-deprecatingly when he said this, "How can I afford to travel to a beautiful country, and it is even more impossible for me to go if I don't marry your mother later."

"Dad, what are you talking about? Aren't we going to the beautiful country now? When you get over there, contact her and call her out for a cup of tea to catch up." Ji Cheng is very considerate of his father, "Don't worry, I won't tell my mother."

Dad shook his head, "Besides, after so many years, I don't know if the address and contact number she left is accurate, maybe she has already moved."

Hey?

Also left you an address and phone number?

Ji Cheng was quite surprised, "Where is the address she left?"

"Just New York, where our plane landed." Dad said this with anticipation and fear, "That's why you told me to go to the beautiful country, I strongly objected, if this really happens, your mother will know about it, and you can't quarrel?"

"New York?" Ji Cheng became interested, "Did you say where New York is?"

Dad thought about it carefully, "I can't remember the exact place, anyway, she said the rich area."

Ji Chengdao: "Manhattan?"

"Yes, Manhattan." Dad said happily, "You kid knows where to go

That's a lot."

Ji Cheng couldn't help but laugh and said, "Who doesn't know this place in Manhattan, New York?" As he spoke, he asked curiously, "Eh, didn't Zhu Licheng work in a bank before?" What did he and Qin Xiaohui do when they went to the beautiful country? Can't be still in the bank, right?"

He still hasn't said a word, and the banks in New York don't have Zhu Licheng's relatives as vice presidents.

"The letter said that there was a second-hand store, by the way, son, what is a second-hand store?" Dad asked inexplicably.

"It's a store that sells second-hand goods, but most of them are second-hand brands." Ji Cheng explained.

Dad smiled and said, "Oh, I thought it was an antique shop, and I wondered, you are in the antique business, if Xiaohui and her family also open an antique shop, can we cooperate, such as you supply her, or what antiques from our country are in her store, you can spend money to buy them back."

Huh!

Wait!

Foreign antique shops?

Isn't that the best way to whitewash the things you brought back from the 80s?

The policy of the beautiful country towards antiques is different from that of the country, even if people fish out an antique in the river, it is your own, and you can enter the normal channel to sell.

If you have a pawnshop in the modern world, which specializes in recycling antiques, jewelry, etc., that you brought back from the 80s, and then the pawnshop "sells" things to ancient and modern art companies, isn't it legal?

Although there will be some tax to pay for doing so, there is no need to worry.

Ji Cheng didn't expect that after chatting with his father, he would actually get a solution to his current difficulties!

Good!

This time, I insisted that my dad go to the beautiful country with me, so it was too wise!

Ji Cheng couldn't help but be overjoyed, and was ready to sum it up.

Suddenly, Dad seemed to think of something, "Eh, no, I didn't tell you that Xiaohui and her husband used to work in a bank, how did you know about this?"

Ji Cheng: "......"

Dad's eyes widened, "Say, how many of my letters have you peeked at?"

Ji Cheng sighed, then looked to the side, his voice was a little louder, "Mom, are you awake?" I have something to talk to you about."

Well, it's not really loud, and it won't really wake up Mom.

Dad: "......" he quickly begged for mercy, "Forget it, I won't pursue you for this."

End the conversation with Dad.

Ji Cheng found Master Cheng in the back seat, "Mr. Cheng, I want to ask you something."

Master Cheng was chatting with his son Cheng Hailin about the development of the company, when he heard a voice and quickly turned around, "Boss, what's the matter?"

Cheng Hailin also looked over.

Ji Cheng asked bluntly, "How much do you know about the pawnbroking industry in the beautiful country?"

Although he has been in the beautiful country of time and space for a long time in the eighties, he has really never been to the pawn shop, so he naturally does not understand, Master Cheng is different, although he is engaged in the collection industry in China, as the saying goes, he wants to understand the pawn industry in the beautiful country.

But to Ji Cheng's disappointment, Master Cheng shook his head and said, "I haven't been to a beautiful country, so I don't know much about this."

"Okay."

Ji Cheng replied helplessly, and was ready to talk about it after going to the beautiful country for a field trip.

But what he didn't expect was that Cheng Hailin answered, "Boss, I used to study in a beautiful country, and my dad is engaged in the collection industry, so I often visit pawn shops, antique shops and even flea markets, so I have a certain understanding of these."

Ji Yuan was ready to go back to his seat, and when he heard Cheng Hailin's words, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "Tell me about the situation of the pawnshop in the beautiful country."

Cheng Hailin said with a smile: "The pawnshop in the beautiful country is not the same as the domestic situation, for example, our domestic pawn shop does almost everything, what antiques, jewelry and real estate mortgages, but the beautiful country is not, in the pawn shops I visited, although the scale of each is different, the business philosophy is not the same, but one thing is the same, they are all engaged in civilian business, mainly jewelry, various watches, musical instruments, handicrafts, etc. In the beautiful country

The minimum pawn amount of pawnshops is only five US dollars, and the highest is not more than 500,000 US dollars, and the vast majority of real estate pawns are not involved, such as California Crown Pawnshop, which is one of the largest pawnshops in the United States, with three branches in California, specializing in jewelry, gold ornaments, and watch pawns, with an average daily pawn amount of $250,000, and an annual pawn of 100 million, which is close to the annual revenue of some listed companies in beautiful countries."

Hey?

Isn't that a perfect match for what I had in mind?

Ji Cheng listened to Cheng Hailin's words and pondered, for example, he took some Chinese antiques pawns to his pawnshop, because the pawnshop "didn't know the goods", and when the antiques were finally purchased in large quantities by the ancient and modern art companies, they could only be sold at a low price, and even if the customs entry and exit fees were not too high.

"To put it simply, in a beautiful country, whether it is industry colleagues, government officials, professors and scholars, they think that pawnshops are "poor people's banks", which are to help the poor who have no credit or are bankrupt to solve their livelihoods. In our country, pawnshops are to help the needs of emergencies, solve the small funds urgently needed by private enterprises and individual industrial and commercial enterprises, and are a green channel to help ordinary people improve their lives." Cheng Hailin summed up a summary.

Ji Cheng probably had a point in his heart, "What about profits?"

"Oh, the pretty country pawn shop is still very profitable." Cheng Hailin said: "For example, in the pawn shop in Beverly Hills, California, you can often buy good things at a very low price, for example, the real painting of the Beautiful National Art Museum has a market price of 20,000 US dollars, and Beverly Hills only sells for 4,000 US dollars, and a 25,000 US dollar Rolex watch is sold for 5,000 US dollars, but even if it is sold so cheaply, the gross profit of the pawn shop is still more than 40 percent."

it!

Is the profit so high?

The key thing is only sold at three, four, or five times the market price, and there can be such a high profit!

Ji Cheng was really shocked by the super high profits of the pawnbroking industry in the beautiful country, even if it was not to launder the things he brought back in the eighties, just such a high profit was worth investing in.

"There's one more thing I just missed." Cheng Hailin added: "The pawnshops in the beautiful country generally rely on the community to survive, such as the Beverly Hills pawnshop, which relies on the rich area of Beverly Hills, I remember that there is a video of the Beverly Hills pawnshop on the Internet, you can watch it when you have time, and the beautiful country pawnshop does not need to invest too much for this reason, you only need to rent a house of no more than 50 square meters next to the community, and provide certain asset certificates, such as Texas' qualification certificate is a net worth of more than 150,000 US dollars, and then even if you don't know how to do it, you can also open a pawn shop."

This time, Master Cheng didn't understand, "Can you open a pawnshop if you don't know how to do it?" Really, is it fake?"

Ji Cheng also looked curious: "Aren't you afraid of receiving fakes if you don't know how to do it?"

Cheng Hailin said with a smile: "The pawnshop in the beautiful country can be registered as an expert, and the expert will come to see the authenticity of the thing for you, and then give the market price of the item, and then you can negotiate with the customer.

If this is the case, as long as there is enough funds and a "shopkeeper" who talks about the price, wouldn't he be able to make a sure profit?

Of course, the premise is that you have a sales channel for receiving something.

Is Ji Chengsheng afraid that there will be no sales channels? His own ancient and modern art company is the best sales channel!

That is to say, as long as you run a pawnshop that only collects the characteristics of Chinese antiques and buys some jewelry, watches and other things that are common to the world, you can rely on the channels of ancient and modern art in China to achieve perfect self-production and self-sale.

The most important thing is that you can also rely on the pawn shop in the beautiful country to wash your own things.

Ji Cheng felt that the pawnshop business seemed to be doable, and he would wait for the plane to go shopping before going to Gulfstream Company, and then decide how to do it after figuring out the pawnbroking industry in the beautiful country, whether to open a small pawnshop and slowly develop the business, or spend a lot of money to directly acquire a good-scale pawn company.

If you really have an industry in the beautiful country on this side of modern society, it will be convenient to brush the maximum energy of the system by yourself in the future, so that you can carry out normal crossings several times a day without wasting the eighties

The massive amount of energy that space-time provides to itself increases.

Ji Cheng was interested in this matter and decided to give it a try.
