Chapter 150 (1/2)

The purpose of taking a boat to Honolulu has been achieved. The plan is very smooth. It depends on the price of the gold.

Honolulu now has US dollars in circulation. The best Remington double barreled shotgun in this era is about $10, and a comet bike is only $4.

These are good things in the future. If they are well preserved, in the antique market in 2018, the old Remington shotgun can be sold for $7000, and the comet bike can be sold for $5000.

Su Ming's gold jewelry should be worth 2000 U.S. dollars. Of course, that's the price in the jewelry store. The pawnshop can't afford it.

But Su Ming had to sell the jewelry at a high price.

Drilling through the crowd in the port, he sent a few short-sighted thieves and easily broke their fingers. Su Ming naturally walked into the pawnshop.

Antique counters and fences, but also placed some vases and paintings as decorations, an old man with round glasses and white beard was dozing in the counter.

He was wearing a mandarin jacket, wearing a black yuan Wai cap, and an abacus and magnifying glass on his hand.

Su Ming knocked on the counter with his knuckles, took out a small cloth package and put it on the table.

”Shopkeeper, business is coming.”

The old man took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes. It was strange that he saw a white boy in front of him. How could he open his mouth and be an authentic Beiping accent?

But the rule is not to ask the way, so he just politely smile, took a small cloth package and unfolded.

After a while, the old man took a cold breath like a soup.

”Hiss...”

not to mention the excellent quality of these gold, the gemstones on them are brilliant, even the carving and design are superb.

It's a first-class treasure in the world.

Of course, this is the technology of the future, the more inclusive aesthetic concept in the future, isn't it the first in the world in this era? There are also vacuum molding machine, computer micro lathe to understand?

The old man picked up the abacus and stroked it up and down. The abacus beads crackled, indicating that he had done business.

”Young man, things are good things. They are full of real gold. I will not deceive you. However, according to the rules of our pawnshop, you know how to cut down when you enter the pawnshop?”

The old man had the accent of a southern province, so Su Ming immediately changed into the same dialect. Who could not speak a few dialects in the Internet age?

”Shopkeeper, I understand the rules, but I'm not here to pawn, but to give you a way to get rich.”

The old man was stunned. OK, this is a foreigner who has become a native. He wants to see what kind of flowers the foreigner can say.

”Oh, I'd like to hear more about it.”

He plucked the abacus bead to signal Su Ming to start his performance.

Su Ming, of course, is not willing to give in. The old man is willing to listen to the story, which can sell more.

”Let's not say anything else. Look at the color and workmanship of the gold, and then look at the water and flour of the gem. Have you ever seen it before?”

The old man frowned. Naturally, the more money he made, the better he got out of business. But the foreigner said that there was no pawn, and there was a way to get rich. This was strange. He wanted to hear about it.

Pawnshops pay more attention to eyesight. Their favorite guests are the second generation ancestors who don't know anything. Because they don't know the trade, they pawn the treasure of the family.

And this very fluent Chinese foreigner brought a variety of surprises as soon as he entered the door, which showed that he had seen the world.

”No, as I said, you are a good thing.” The old man touched his beard: ”people say that our business is immoral, and we are talking about taking advantage of the fire. But I am still a businessman. I have a valuation for you, and I am willing to accept it.”

Su Ming nodded with a smile, but he didn't believe a word. The old man asked him to do it, but he wanted to cooperate in another way.
