The knockoff gold watches that Wang Hengyue brought to this era have elegant outer packaging, and the "gold watches" placed on the velvet cushions inside are well made. They even come with an "original production certificate" written in English, which can be regarded as
The "best" among counterfeit goods!
Ducharlie picked up a watch and praised it so much that he couldn't put it down.
This watch is sparkling and luxurious. How could Du Charlie have thought that there could be such a thing as a "knockoff" in the world? Especially the "original production certificate" that came with it all in foreign language made Du Chalei even more interested in these watches.
Its origins from Switzerland are unquestionable.
Luo Taiwu was a little confused: "Why do these watches look so strange? I have never seen them before."
Wang Hengyue then remembered that this era was all about pocket watches, and his batch of goods were all wrist watches. He was thinking about how to make it up, but he didn't expect that Du Charlie had already said in a showoff: "Shopkeeper Luo doesn't understand. Thirty years of Guangxu"
, Foreign countries have invented watches that can be worn on the wrist, but they have not been introduced to our country, so our country mostly uses pocket watches. These watches that Brother Shu brought back are very new and rare things, so why make a fuss about them."
Luo Taiwu was relieved. He picked up a watch and looked at it from side to side: "It doesn't seem to be made of real gold."
Du Charlie had long regarded Wang Hengyue as one of his own "people who have seen the world." When he heard this, he disagreed: "Shopkeeper Luo, so I often say that it is best to go outside more and see more of the world.
Only when you go to a foreign country can you really gain experience. What foreigners call a gold watch is by no means made of real gold and silver, but refers to its manufacturing process. If it is made of real pure gold, how much is a piece worth? Fortunately, you are the only one who can say this.
When my brother hears this, if outsiders find out, he will laugh at me because there is no one in Sichuan."
Luo Taiwu was very embarrassed and just turned his head over and looked at the watch over and over.
When Qin Guangcheng saw that the goods brought by his brother were so popular, he couldn't help but feel proud: "Brothers, you have seen the goods, are you interested?"
"We have seen the goods, and they are indeed good things." When it came to buying and selling, Charlie Du put down his watch and sat down again: "But most people in our country use pocket watches, and there are very few people who accept new things. Brother and Brother Luo
If we eat them all, shipping will be a big problem..."
Next to him, Luo Fuzhi also echoed incessantly, with the same meaning. The things are really good, but if they can't be sold, no matter how good they are, they are piled up there and weighed down by money.
Qin Guangcheng, a person who has been in the business field for a long time, can't he understand the meaning behind their words? He smiled slightly and said: "The price is easy to talk about. Please estimate the price. Brother Shu thinks it can be sold and the deal will be completed immediately."
Du Charlie pulled Luo Fuzhi aside. The two of them murmured for a long time, and then came back and said: "The best foreign watch in the world is priced at 210 silver dollars, which is equivalent to 150 silver dollars."
Three taels and two cents for eight cents. Since it’s shopkeeper Qin’s favor and this batch of goods is really good, let’s decide on a price and let him see if it’s suitable. We’ll give it a small change, each piece is one hundred and fifty.
We want as many taels of silver as we have!"
One hundred and fifty taels of silver per piece? Are these counterfeit goods so valuable in this era? Wang Hengyue was overjoyed and was about to agree, but Qin Guangcheng laughed "haha": "You two are really good at doing business. Who doesn't know that Sichuan's official circles are the most powerful?"
Good foreign goods. When it comes to the local gentry, everyone is surprised by the fresh foreign goods. After the two of you ate this batch, you would probably have more than three or four hundred taels when it changed hands. But now the price is only one hundred and fifty taels. Is it really true?
Do you think I don’t understand anything?”
Du Charlie's face turned red when someone saw through his thoughts, and then he smiled: "This has been the case with businessmen since ancient times. They raise prices all over the place and pay back the money on the spot. Brothers always have to have some income to make money."
Qin Guangcheng was no longer polite to them and argued endlessly about the price. It took half an hour before he finally agreed that each gold watch would be worth a hundred and ninety taels of silver.
The price was agreed upon and everyone was happy. Luo Fuzhi and Du Charlie argued for a long time about how much each person should get before giving up.
Wang Hengyue listened on the side, surprised and happy. This time he brought a total of fifty-five counterfeit watches. Who would have thought that these counterfeit watches would actually "shine brightly" in another time and space.
He kept three yuan for himself in case of emergencies. He still had fifty-two yuan left, so he took out two more yuan. Regardless of Qin Guangcheng's excuses, he insisted on giving it to Qin Guangcheng as a thank you gift.
Luo Fuzhi and Du Charlie saw that they had lost two watches in the blink of an eye, and that they would earn hundreds of taels less. They couldn't help but feel distressed, and secretly cursed Wang Hengyue in his stomach as a "waste", how could he get such a good salary?
What’s the point of giving a watch to someone else? But what can you do if it belongs to someone else? Is it possible to snatch it back?
But how could these two people have thought of the true "worth" of these "gold watches"?
It was then agreed that Qin Guangcheng would advance the payment first, and Luo Fuzhi and Du Charlie hurried back to get the silver notes to exchange for gold watches.
After the two left, Qin Guangcheng asked Wang Hengyue to sit down for a while, called the accountant, and gave some instructions. After a while, the accountant brought a banknote, and Qin Guangcheng personally handed it to Wang Hengyue.
When Wang Hengyue saw it, it turned out to be a 10,000 tael bill. He was very surprised: "Brother Qin, I'm afraid he made a mistake? Fifty watches, a total of 9,500 taels. Brother Qin's bill is only 10,000 taels."
Qin Guangcheng smiled and said: "Five hundred taels exchange for my life, but it is very cheap. Since you call me big brother, don't refuse anymore." He then raised the two gold watches Wang Hengyue gave him: "Not to mention brothers.
He also gave me two yuan, speaking of which, I can still make a profit."
Wang Hengyue laughed a few times, but felt very embarrassed.
Frankly speaking, these watches of mine are not worth much at all, but they have been exchanged for such a large fortune here.
The first pot of gold I dug in this era came really easily. With these ten thousand taels of silver, I will be much more confident in doing things in the future.
After collecting the banknote, Qin Guangcheng suddenly asked: "Brother, what are your plans for the future?"
Wang Hengyue was startled. What are his plans? He really didn't have any plans. He was living in this remote place and had no friends except Qin Guangcheng.
Qin Guangcheng pondered for a while and said sincerely: "Excuse me for talking about it. Although you are a revolutionary party, you are alone at the moment. How can you achieve anything? It is better to find a place to settle down for the time being and then slowly figure it out."
Wang Hengyue nodded slightly. As a "revolutionary party", he was really a fake.
Seeing that his brother agreed, Qin Guangcheng cheered up: "I originally wanted to keep you here. I have some family property, so I can still get by. But when I think about it, my brother is by no means a thing in the pool. How can I be allowed to live with you?"
Bound by the smell of copper? I thought about it for a moment, there is a place I want to go to, and I wonder if my brother would like to go?"
