Tian Kunsheng's car was parked in front of a three-story building in the downtown area.
Long Fei pushed the door and got out of the car and looked at the small building. The three-story building was quaint, with green ivy crawlers crawling on the walls. The wind blew by and the leaves were flying, giving people a sense of purity and peace, and the hustle and bustle around them.
In sharp contrast.
There are many high-rise buildings around the building, which makes the building look a bit alternative and seem a bit shabby. But Long Fei knew that those who can keep such a small building in such a place must be no ordinary person. Although the building is not a normal person.
Small, but it demonstrates the master's strength, which is the arrogance contained in low-keyness!
"Let's go, Mr. Maimati, remember what I said to you on the way! Don't talk nonsense here, let alone do it." Tian Kunsheng greeted Long Fei and stepped into the gate of the small building.
After arriving in Hong Kong Island, Long Fei did not restore his original identity, but still used the pseudonym Maimaiti.
The door of the small building is not big. After entering the door, there is a wooden board that looks like a large screen. It is more than two meters high and more than three meters wide. There is a line of large characters "Asian Pawnshop" with flying dragons and phoenixes dancing, and a line of small characters below "The person who comes is a guest, a child
The old man is not deceived”!
After Long Fei saw this wooden sign, he couldn't help but wonder.
As the descendant of an ancient family, Long Fei had some understanding of the pawn shop in China. The pawn shop was the past pawn shop. It is said that it originated from the Southern and Northern Dynasties of China and matured in the Song Dynasty, but after the founding of the New China, it was abolished.
After the reform and opening up, pawnshops were restored in some places, but the business methods were different from those in the past, and more business was pledge loans.
Traditional Chinese pawnshops have been inherited more by Chinese people in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. They still retain and inherit the traditional customs of ancient pawnshops, and even the layout of pawnshops is similar to that of previous pawnshops.
As soon as you enter the door, there is a big wooden sign, which is also called a "sham proof board". Many people come to pawn shops and work as things, but they are forced to do so. They don't want others to know that they are embarrassed. If they have a shy cover, they are not afraid of being seen by acquaintances.
Bypassing the big wooden sign, there are high counters, and there are iron fences on the counter, which is similar to the previous bank's structure, but the counter is much higher than that of the bank, and an adult is just standing and handling the business.
Long Fei wondered that in Hong Kong Island, this kind of pawn shop is completely legal and serious business. When they collect things, they have to ask where the things come from. They don’t want things of unknown origin. Tian Kunsheng knows that he is
The things that are not from the right origin, why did you bring yourself here?
Isn’t this kind of underground transaction going to an abandoned factory in the suburbs that is rarely visited, or a place with deep forests and dense grass, and no one monitors the place? Or is it better to trade directly in a car? How can it be traded in such a place?
Although Long Fei was confused, since he came, he would be at ease. He just watched the development of things quietly.
I saw Tian Kunsheng stepping to the counter and whispering with a charming smile at the counter inside: "Uncle He, I'll introduce you to an acquaintance. I have to take some private work. I've seen the thing, it's a good thing. You can see
Can't you take time to see it?"
Uncle He is an old man in his fifties, with a goatee, a pair of round-framed flower glasses on his nose, and a gray-white long gown. Unfortunately, he didn't have a long braid behind him, otherwise Long Fei would think he was
It was from the Qing Dynasty.
After hearing Tian Kunsheng's words, Uncle He stood up from the counter, glanced at Long Fei and Abu twice, and then said slowly: "Let him wait a moment. Wait until I finish this
Account."
"Oh! Oh! You are busy first, you are busy first!" Tian Kunsheng nodded and said.
Tian Kunsheng retreated and said to Long Fei: "Mr. Maimaiti, Uncle He is busy, let's wait a moment."
Long Fei looked at Uncle He who was pretending to behave at the counter and suddenly understood. It seemed that this pawn shop was both black and white, and no matter what business it was, it would be fine!
And they choose to conduct underground transactions here, which is very beneficial to them! This is their territory, and they can either lower the price at will or put pressure on the seller at will, giving the seller a sense of awe.
For example, now, Uncle He clearly has nothing to do at the counter, but he doesn't do business with him immediately, just to put some pressure on himself. He is showing himself an attitude: we are not very interested in your things. If you
If you really want to sell, just stay honestly for a while and everything will follow my rules.
Thinking about this, Long Fei showed a sneer on his face and said to Abu: "Brother, it seems that they are not concerned about our things! Forget it, let's find another one!"
After Long Fei finished speaking, he raised his legs without hesitation and left, with Abu following closely behind.
Tian Kunsheng was startled and quickly grabbed Long Fei's clothes and said, "Mr. Maimati, wait a moment. Don't be so anxious! Did Mr. Maimati forget what I told you when I came? Don't be impatient,
Don't be impatient, I'll go over and urge Uncle He."
Tian Kunsheng knew the value of Long Fei's things, and he didn't want this big business to be ruined. So he ran to the counter and whispered to Uncle He: "Uncle He, can you hurry up? Ours
The goods are really good!”
Uncle He did not answer Tian Kunsheng's words, but he narrowed his eyes and looked at Long Fei, and said with a sneer: "Hmph, it seems that Mr. Maimati is still impatient, but I can tell you that as long as we say something in Hong Kong,
You will definitely not be able to sell your things in Hong Kong! No one will ask for your things, no matter how good your things are, it will be useless!"
Long Fei looked back suddenly, looked over to Uncle He's gaze, and suddenly walked to the counter with a smile, saying, "Shopkeeper, are you threatening me?"
"Even so." Uncle He said with his eyes drooping. Long Fei's eyes were too sharp, and he didn't dare to look directly.
"Haha, your threat is useless to me. If you can't take action in Hong Kong Island, I will go to Macau. If you can't do it, I will go to the island country. If you can't do it, I will go to Australia... The world is so big, as long as my goods are good,
I don't believe that I can't find a buyer. I really want to know, if your superior knows that he missed a peerless treasure because of your attitude, what would he think of you?" Long Fei said with a smile.
Uncle He couldn't help but feel nervous when he heard Long Fei's words. He ignored Long Fei, just to raise his identity and put some pressure on Long Fei. When the price negotiation is held later, he will be fine.
Taking the initiative, he didn't expect Long Fei wouldn't take this trick at all! He just wanted to beat him up and look fearless!
If Long Fei’s things are really good and he will ruin his business again, his superiors will indeed punish him!
At this time, another person in the counter stood up and walked over and said, "Everyone is doing business to make money, not fighting. Let's find a place to check the goods first!"
There is usually a station cabinet in the pawn shop and one seat cabinet. The seat cabinet is to smooth things out when the negotiations with the station cabinet break down.
Uncle He heard the other party's words and just glanced at Long Fei, without saying anything. He took out a bunch of keys from his body, opened two iron doors in a row, walked outside the counter, and said to Long Fei and the other two with some dissatisfaction: "You guys."
Come with me."
After Long Fei walked into the iron gate, he realized that the iron gate did not lead into the counter, but a narrow corridor, with a closed iron gate at the end of the corridor.
Uncle He led the way, opened the iron door that was closed at the end of the corridor, and bowed to Long Fei and others and said, "Please come in, please come in."
The room is not small, more than 100 square meters. On the left side of the entrance is a delicate tool holder with small hammers, small balances, magnifying glasses, frosting paper and other utensils. Long Fei guessed that this might be used for
To identify the quality of the utensils, there is a large mahogany coffee table in the middle of the room, surrounded by a circle of mahogany sofas, and a few chairs scattered beside the wall.
"You can take out the things now, right?" Uncle He said coldly. The defeat with Long Fei just now made him feel very unhappy. He didn't even control Long Fei and Abu at all.
In my eyes, both of them were white shirts and gray trousers, and they looked very old-fashioned. At first glance, they were locals from the mainland! I didn’t know where I got some treasures, but I thought of making money here.
Long Fei felt unhappy when he looked at Uncle He's 20,000 or 50,000 yuan, so he said, "Let your leader come! You can't make the decision on our business!"
Tian Kunsheng, who had just sat down, was shocked by Long Fei's words, and he had a counterproductive effect on his instructions along the way! He agreed not to talk nonsense after coming, but Long Fei seemed to not take others seriously at all! If this
It really makes people from Asian pawn shops angry, and there is no benefit from Long Fei!
Tian Kunsheng hurriedly winked at Long Fei, hoping that Long Fei would take back what he said just now and apologize to Uncle He. However, Long Fei seemed to have not seen his hint at all!
Uncle He almost got angry with Long Fei, and he sneered: "Hehe, Mr. Maimaiti has such a big tone. Do you think our leader can meet as long as you want? If you really want to do this business
, let me see the things first. If I can’t make the decision, it’s not too late to hire a manager for you!”
The pawn shop’s cabinet is just a middle-level leader of the pawn shop and needs to work at the counter. The real leader is just a manager! In fact, although the pawn shop in Hong Kong seems to have completely inherited the ancient pawn shop culture from the outside, it actually has the internal management system.
, it has long been modernized.
"Okay, then let's open your eyes first."
Long Fei realized that the other party regarded him as a rustic guy, so let's be a rustic guy!
As he spoke, Long Fei took a woven bag that Abu had been holding in his hand, and pulled the zipper apart with a sting. Uncle He was wondering what was inside the woven bag, and he saw Long Fei grab the bottom of the woven bag, and ding
Dingdangdang poured everything in the woven bag on the floor!
Uncle He was shocked as he looked at the things on the table! He felt his eyes were blurred! What was even more surprised was Tian Shengkun. He didn't know that Long Fei had these things to take action before!
