~ Shuhai Pavilion -~ Early the next morning, Xue Xiang arranged for Gu Changdao and Vice President Wang to accompany Liu Ying'er in the hospital, staring at Dabao's surgery.
The taxi headed towards Rong Bao Tang. The Rong Bao Tang chosen by Xue Xiang is the largest pawn shop in Hong Kong Island. It is very powerful and is a good place to pawn national treasures.
Rongbaotang is located on Central Avenue, only a ten-minute drive from Shengye Hotel. Xue Xiang arrived before finishing a cigarette. When he got off the car, the middle-aged driver suddenly said something more, "What if?"
If you want to pawn something particularly valuable, it's better to go to Xie's Pawn Shop, which is a century-old shop with a high reputation.
The middle-aged driver's seemingly unintentional words seemed to be praising the pawnshop, but in fact, they were implicitly indicating that Rongbaotang's business was unethical.
You're at the door, how can you turn around and go back without asking? Even if you want to go to Xie's pawn shop, you always have to shop around.
Xue Xiangchong smiled at the driver, handed him a cigarette, and asked him to stay in the car for a little while. He said he would go in and have a look before returning. After explaining, he led the lame old man towards the store. It must be said that the decoration of Rongbao Hall was extremely gorgeous.
Magnificently, in Hong Kong Island, where land is at a premium, a trading hall of hundreds of square meters has been laid out and decorated with splendor.
Xue Xiang guessed the reason why the pawn shop was decorated like this. First, it gave people a feeling of great power and financial resources, making people feel that they could pawn any treasure here; second, it made the customers feel embarrassed and insignificant.
I feel that when bargaining, I lose momentum first. This is the same as the believers in the Middle Ages who built magnificent temples to coerce believers.
Naturally, Xue Xiang will not be fooled by this little trick. Although this hall is large and rich in decoration, it is just a good living room for him, not to mention that in his previous life, he has encountered various large-scale luxury stores, and in this life
, he has also been to the Great Hall of the People. The formation in front of him is just chicken, duck and goose feathers, not worth a penny.
Xue Xiang held the mahogany box in his hand. He held his head high and walked with ease, but the lame third child was not good enough. He was walking slowly with a limp. After seeing a big scene that he had never encountered in half his life, he didn't even know how to take a step before walking.
Which foot is up? Stand with both feet
On the thick woolen carpet, I couldn't stop shivering, which made the hostess who greeted guests at the door cover her mouth and chuckle. Fortunately, this was a pawn shop. It didn't recognize the clothes or the person, it only recognized whether the customer had a dick in his hand. He couldn't tell if he was lame.
The third child was kicked out long ago.
Xue Xiang walked a few more steps and suddenly realized that no one was following him. He turned around and saw that the lame old man was still at the gate. He held the gate and trembled. At that moment, he became angry and shouted: "You are all blind. I didn't see you."
The guest has difficulty moving. Why don't you help me help him in? What kind of service is that?"
Xue Xiang did not use Cantonese this time and pretended to be from Hong Kong. After all, Lao San was lame and could not pretend to be fake. He simply returned to his true colors, opened his mouth and spoke in Mandarin, shouting arrogantly. The reason why Xue Xiang did this
Panqiu eight looks like
You have to keep your posture high, otherwise you will definitely be sold by the honest nanny when the price is raised later. Although this painting must be redeemed, the more money you pawn, the more you can earn in the stock market.
If there are too many, Xue Xiang naturally hopes to sell them at a high price.
After Xue Xiang cursed, the lobby immediately became silent. The customers who were doing transactions at the windows and counters, the pawnbrokers, and the service staff standing around all looked at him with surprise. Everyone was really speechless.
Thinking that someone dared to speak so wildly in Rongbao Hall, he was still a mainlander and didn't ask where this place was.
As soon as Xue Xiang said this, several big men in yellow clothes immediately surrounded him, looking like they were the security guards here.
"What's the matter? The store is bullying customers?" Xue Xiang still stood there holding the mahogany box.
The four or five security guards seemed unable to understand Mandarin and continued to move forward until they surrounded Xue Xiang before they stood still.
One of them, a guy with a broad nose called Brother Hao, seemed to be the leader. He thought that Xue Xiang couldn't understand, so he cursed and greeted the others in Cantonese along the way, saying that he wanted to take Xue Xiang, the big guy, to a quiet place and clean him up.
He murmured again, guessing that there was something good in the mahogany box. If he handed it over to the hall, he would definitely get a prize.
After hearing this, Xue Xiang already knew in his heart that this Rongbao Hall must be the property of a certain society in Hong Kong Island.
Speaking of Hong Kong Island, the Independent Commission Against Corruption has been established for four or five years. It has spared no efforts in cracking down on corrupt elements in the government and police systems, but it has been unable to control the size of associations. At this time, Hong Kong Island associations
Their power is extremely powerful. The most famous "Lao K" and "Yi Zi Tang" each have more than 100,000 gang members, which can be described as astonishing power.
However, the Hong Kong society is also known as a thief. The business they run is very strict in rules and credibility, and they will never defraud customers. Therefore, the lobby of Rong Bao Tang can still be filled with customers.
Although the Rongbaotang store does not bully customers, it will never allow others to come to the door. Xue Xiang just shouted provocatively, which was naturally regarded as a troublemaker. Moreover, since he speaks Mandarin, this gang is called security guards.
As a member of the community, he was naturally regarded as the fat in the bowl.
The security guards surrounded Xue Xiang and were about to take action. Suddenly, a loud shout came from the distance: "Stop!"
While he was talking, a young man walked past.
The young man was about 27 or 27, with an ordinary appearance and a short stature, only about 1.6 meters tall, but he was very powerful. Behind him were four or five big men in black clothes. He just shouted and surrounded Xue.
The several security guards who came to Xiang all turned around, bowed to the man, and said in unison: "Hello, Xiang Sheng!"
Xue Xiang knew that this was the person who had the final say. After watching the TVB soap operas of later generations, he knew that in Hong Kong Island, it was generally customary to address important people as "someone".
The young man known as Xiang Sheng waved his hand as a greeting, then stretched out his hand from afar, walked towards Xue Xiang, and said in standard Mandarin: "Sir, our store is not polite, don't blame it.
Don’t be surprised!”
After saying that, Xiang Sheng said something to the man in black on the left side behind him. The man immediately shouted at several young and beautiful girls in red, and helped the lame old man forward, and finally stood in front of a large table.
I put it on the sofa and went back to work on bringing tea and water.
Xue Xiang gently shook Xiang Sheng's stretched out hand, then let it go, and said carelessly: "You are the only one who knows how to do things. Well, we men don't talk nonsense. We are tight on money. Let's press something."
Change some money to spend, go and go to the sofa, I will let you open your eyes."
Xue Xiang spoke like this, and all the big men behind Xiang Sheng changed their expressions, but Xiang Sheng remained calm and said with a smile: "From the accent of this gentleman, could it be that he is from the capital, and he hasn't asked for his name yet?"
Xue Xiang waved his hand with an impatient look on his face: "Xue Xiang! Okay, stop asking around. I'm here to do business with you. Don't just try to get close to me. Hurry up and get rid of the old master in your shop."
Call them all, and call a few doctors too, don’t scare them to death later, and I didn’t say hello in advance.”
After saying that, Xue Xiang ignored everyone and strode towards the lame old man. When he got close, he sat down on the sofa and sipped tea leisurely.
"Xiang Sheng, I think they are just two bumpkins who smuggled in here to attack the boss. I think it is better to drive them out first, and then we can find a secluded place..."
"Shut up, a dog can't change a thing that eats shit. What kind of place is this? I'll put away those tricks of beating and killing." Xiang Sheng stared at Brother Hao who just spoke out with gloomy eyes, and scolded in a deep voice.
.
After training all the boys, Xiang Sheng snapped his fingers, and the man in black, who had just called the girl in red to serve the lame old man, immediately walked towards the counter. Not long after, four old men in sixties came through the small door on the side of the counter.
Stepped out.
Xiang Sheng waved his hand to stop everyone's greetings, made a gesture, and strode towards the sofa where Xue Xiang was, followed closely by four old men.
However, it is said that this student's real name is Xiang Qiang, and he is the third son of Xiang Yan, the leader of "Yi Zi Tang". He has a gloomy and stubborn temperament and a ruthless figure. After his old man Xiang Yan abdicated due to health reasons, he took refuge in the treasure island, and Xiang Qiang
However, the three brothers independently supported "Yi Zi Tang". In recent years, its development momentum has surpassed that of "Old K".
The reason why Xiang Qiang tolerates Xue Xiang so much and recruits a group of old men according to Xue Xiang's request is not because he is naturally good-tempered. It's because Xiang Qiang intuitively believes that Xue Xiang has seen the world and must have something good in his hands.
Objects.
Xiang Qiang's judgment is not only due to Xue Xiang's standard Beijing accent, but also because Xue Xiang's magnanimity is clear when he enters the door. He is not moved by the splendor of the hall at all. This is not the magnanimity that an ordinary mainland boy should have. Moreover, Xue Xiang
The ruffian's tone, when you hear it, is not just pretentious, but an overwhelming momentum, which shows that you are full of confidence.
As soon as Xiang Qiang led the four old men to sit down, Xue Xiang called to the girl in red standing beside him to remove all the teacups and fruit plates on the table. He also asked someone to wipe the tea table carefully, then opened the mahogany box and put the silk
The quality scroll was placed up and slowly unfolded.
The entire coffee table is very long, more than four meters long. The scrolls are rolled together, and the volume does not seem to be large. However, when the cloth is unfolded, it actually takes up three-quarters of the coffee table. Then, Xue Xiang snaps his fingers, Lame Lao San
After understanding it, he immediately started talking to himself.
"The name of the painting is "Han Xizai's Night Banquet", written by Gu Hongzhong, a painter from the Five Dynasties. It was painted during the reign of Emperor Li of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Size: 28.7 cm wide and 335.5 cm long. The whole picture is neat and delicate, with precise and elegant line drawings. Most of the characters are painted in vermilion.
, light blue, light green, orange and other bright colors………….”
When the lame old man saw the antique, it was as if he had taken a sedative. At this moment, he was calm and composed, with a clear demeanor, a Beijing movie, a loud voice, and clear enunciation, which made everyone understand clearly.
Lame Lao San's introduction to the painting was originally explained by Xue Xiang early this morning. At that time, Lai Lao San almost went crazy when he saw "Han Xizai's Night Banquet". When he heard Xue Xiang said that he wanted to take this national treasure
, the barbarian immediately lost his temper and refused to agree to anything.
, Finally, Xue Xianghao talked hard and promised that he would only pawn it for one month, and he would redeem it immediately after one month. He also threatened that if the lame old man didn't help, the painting would be sold cheaply, and the money was not enough, he would have to exchange it for death.
Redemption, such a two-pronged approach, made Lame Lao San surrender.
