Chapter 410: Trading
Zhao Rui came to the pawn shop to save the bicycle, and then started working as usual. []
There are not many customers in the pawn shop today, so he is relatively leisurely, and he can look at the scene outside the shop whenever he is free.
In this way, it was easy to mix until three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and Zhao Rui was bored through the glass door to enjoy the scenery outside the store.
Suddenly, I saw an old man walking out of the casino with his head bowed and slightly hunched.
Zhao Rui felt that this old man was a little familiar, so he looked at it, and now he was the old man Xiang he met in the morning.
Out of the casino, Xiang Lao Man trotted all the way to the pawn shop.
Zhao Rui didn't have to think about it to know that the old man must have lost all his money in the casino, so he came over to pawn something valuable and prepared to go to the casino to recoup his capital.
Sure enough, the old man crossed the street, went straight to the pawn window, and said to the shopkeeper Li through the iron window: "I want to be a thing." ”
"What should it be?" asked the shopkeeper Li.
Xiang Xiang hesitated for a moment, then took out a handkerchief wrapped in a handkerchief from his underwear pocket and put it down on the counter.
"This ...... How much can I bet?"
Shopkeeper Li pushed the handkerchief away. Inside is a brown leaf-shaped jade dish.
A round hole is opened in the middle of the jade dish. The edge of the hole is decorated with a protruding hooked cloud. The surface of the whole jade plate. All are densely covered with moire. Compact arrangement. The strokes are fine. The jade disc fell like a flying dragon. The dragon's tail line is comfortable. The gesture is generous. The shape of the utensils is simple and elegant. The carving is quite exquisite.
Shopkeeper Li picked up the quick jade plate. Tsai carefully examined it for a while. Then he said, "You're a good thing." It's been a year. It should be something from the Shang and Zhou dynasties. According to 70% of the pawn. Give you 300,000. What do you think?"
"Three hundred thousand?" to the old man. Immediately exclaimed, "That's it, this is a treasure handed down from my ancestors." There are one or two thousand years of history. How is it worth so much money?"
Shopkeeper Li dissatisfiedly pushed the jade plate back to the old man and said, "I've been a pawnbroker for decades. Pricing has always been fair. If you don't want to. Then it's better to change to another family. ”
Xiang the old man hesitated. This thing is worth a lot. Definitely more than 300,000. Even if it is sold to Wang Daxian. It's far more than that.
But. He didn't want to sell it, he just wanted to bet it out for the time being and exchange it for a gambling book.
As long as you can win it back in the casino, you can not only pay off Brother Yong's debts, but also redeem the dragon tail jade saucer.
So, he muttered: "Forget it, forget it, 300,000 is 300,000." Anyway, when I get Ben back, I'll redeem this treasure. ”
"Remember that it must be redeemed within two months. Otherwise, this thing will be at our disposal. Shopkeeper Li advised.
"Yes. Know. He waved his hand impatiently to the old man, took a large stack of money, and turned to leave.
"Bad gambler. No amount of money is enough for you to lose. Shopkeeper Li sneered and shook his head.
Shopkeeper Li has handled a lot of treasures, and in his eyes, this dragon tail jade plate is not very valuable, so he didn't pay special attention to it, and after receiving it. Place it directly in the safe under the counter.
However, Zhao Rui's attention was deeply attracted by the jade disc.
Because, on that jade plate, there is an unusually strong aura!
Zhao Rui almost immediately concluded that the jade disc was not only a treasure, but also a rather rare treasure!
Zhao Rui had a strong interest in this jade disc in his heart.
Regardless of whether the jade disc was connected to the Book of the Gods, he was determined to get his hands on it.
With Zhao Rui's strength, if you want to put this treasure. God got his hands on it without knowing it. It's actually as easy as a snap.
However, Zhao Rui was still ready to have a good talk with the old gambler Xiang Lao. Let's see if we can buy this jade disc.
After all, Old Man Xiang is the owner of the jade saucer, and Zhao Rui is not going to snatch an old man's things.
Of course, Zhao Rui also prepared for the worst, if the old man Xiang was really unwilling, then he had to use other methods.
Zhao Rui looked through the glass door and watched the old man re-enter the Pooh Hotel, but he did not follow.
Because he knew that it wouldn't be long before Old Man Xiang would come out of the casino penniless.
The rules of the casino are always in favor of the bookmaker, and the gamblers who can win in the casino are only a very few.
And the old man Xiang doesn't seem to belong to the very lucky ones.
As Zhao Rui expected, when it was almost evening, he lowered his head to the old man and slowly walked out of the casino, his face pale and listless.
Apparently the casino lost, all lost.
Zhao Rui then walked to the old man's side, handed a cigarette over, and said with a smile: "What's the matter?"
He lost money to the old man, but he was upset, he rolled his eyelids, glanced at Zhao Rui, and said angrily: "Who are you? I don't seem to know you." ”
"We've all seen it this morning. Zhao Rui smiled disapprerovingly, "When you were forced to pay a debt by Brother Yong, I happened to see it." ”
When the old man heard the word "Brother Yong", his face immediately changed.
Brother Yong asked him to pay off 150,000 yuan within three days, which was already an impossible task, but now he owed 300,000 yuan for the victory!
These two huge sums of money combined, he will not be able to pay it off anyway.
Xiang took out the lighter from the old man's pocket, lit it for himself tremblingly, took a heavy sip, and then muttered a little distractedly: "Now I am really going to be thrown into the sea to feed the sharks." ”
"Not necessarily. Zhao Rui smiled, "If you are willing to transfer the Dragon Tail Jade Disc to me, I am willing to pay off all your debts and give you a sum of money for retirement, what do you think?"
Raising his head to the old man, he looked at Zhao Rui seriously for the first time.
After a while, he pulled his face and said, "It turns out that you also want to beat my ancestral treasure idea." Tell you, I don't sell that treasure! I don't sell it for any money!"
"Not bad. I did hit the idea of it. Zhao Rui nodded and generously admitted, "However, my proposal will be of great benefit to you." If you don't sell it to me, you won't have money to pay off your debts and you'll be thrown into the sea to feed the sharks. People died. What's the use of keeping the treasure? Besides, after the pawn period, the dragon tail jade disc will be returned to the pawnshop. In the end, it doesn't belong to you. Xiang old man, you better think about it. ”
Xiang was silent to the old man, lowered his head and kept smoking, as if he was fighting fiercely in his heart.
Green smoke fills the air, and the red light of the cigarette butts flickers in the air.
The cigarette quickly burned out, and he threw the cigarette butt to the ground at the old man. It's like making some kind of difficult decision: "Okay, as long as you can afford it, I'll sell it!"
"Oh, how much do you want?"
"100 million!" said a number to the old man's mouth.
"100 million?"
Zhao Rui was taken aback, although he expected that if he wanted to give up the ancestral treasure to the old man, he would definitely have to pay a lot of money.
However, the price of land to the old man is inevitably a little too high.
Zhao Rui, as a cultivator, does not pay much attention to these things outside his body.
However, he doesn't have that much money right now.
At the beginning, in order to ensure that Sun Xiaolan was financially worry-free. He quietly deposited more than half of his more than 500 million funds into Sun Xiaolan's account. I only kept tens of millions.
Coupled with the various expenses over the years, there is not much left in the account.
"You're a lion with a big mouth!" Zhao Rui began to bargain, "Although the dragon tail jade disc is rare, it is too much to sell for 100 million." You're only 300,000 to the pawnshop!"
"That's the shopkeeper who doesn't know the goods! Besides, pawn and sell. are two completely different concepts. The pawn can be redeemed, but if it is sold, it cannot be returned. I'm not shouting about it. Xiang said to the old man seriously, "To be honest with you, if this thing is sold as an antique, it is naturally not worth so much, but this jade dish has a great origin, it is said that it was once a magic weapon used by the heavenly immortals, and recorded the law of the immortals."
If you can dig out the method of the immortal family. Infinite mana can be obtained. Then. Don't say 100 million, it's a billion. Someone will rush to ask for it!"
Zhao Rui said: "This is all empty words, and when you say it, absolutely no one will believe it." Who can prove that the Dragon Tail Jade Disc has hidden the immortal magic? Even you can't prove it! Besides, the Dragon Tail Jade Disc has now been staked by the pawn shop, and you have no ability to redeem it if it is no longer in your hands. ”
Squinting at the old man, he looked at Zhao Rui for a while, and suddenly laughed meaningfully, laughing like a thousand-year-old fox: "I really can't prove it." Even our ancestors have not been able to dig out the true function of the jade saucer. But...... You can. If you're not sure, you won't suddenly come to me and buy this treasure. Isn't it?"
Zhao Rui glanced at the old man in some surprise, and suddenly felt that he might have underestimated this old man.
Although this old man is a bad gambler, he is still quite shrewd.
Xiang Lao Man continued: "I really can't redeem the Dragon Tail Jade Disk. But I can sell my ticket to someone else and redeem it. If you can't afford it, I'll find someone else.
Wang Daxian has always been very interested in my dragon tail jade disc, and has offered to buy my treasure more than once, and said that I will let me make a price at will! It's just that I hate that guy, so I don't want to sell it to him. But now I'm desperate and can't do that much. ”
After saying goodbye to the old man, he made a gesture to leave.
Zhao Rui had to admit that what this old man said was indeed a bit reasonable, with the value of the dragon tail jade dish, the asking price of 100 million was not outrageous.
In fact, if other cultivators meet, even if the price is doubled, they will not hesitate to buy it.
So, he pulled the old man and said, "Fifty million." That's all I have to offer. ”
"I can't see that you kid is really rich. Xiang looked at the old man a few more times, and then waved his hand, "Forget it, forget it." I'll suffer a loss, and I'll sell you for 50 million. ”
Zhao Rui couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that he promised to the old man, and hurriedly pulled the old man to go through the transfer procedures.
After getting the money from the old man, he immediately redeemed the dragon tail jade disc from the victory pledge.
"From now on, this treasure will be yours. ”
Xiang Lao stuffed the dragon tail jade disc into Zhao Rui's arms, then twisted a large bag of banknotes, and went to the casino without looking back, and continued to gamble.
Although I feel a little ashamed of my ancestors and ancestors to sell the ancestral treasure like this, I can sell it for 50 million yuan, which is generally not bad.
Zhao Rui shook his head at the old man's back.
Fifty million is indeed not a small amount, but it is difficult to say how long Xiang Xiang's gambling addiction can last.
However, Zhao Rui thinks that he is not a bodhisattva who saves the suffering, the money is enough, and everything that should be done has been done, and what will become of the old man in the future has nothing to do with him.
