"Master, please give me some advice on the Feng Shui of the shop. These are some of the shop's thoughts..."
The boss got on with it and asked Su Xiaofan to sit on the chair. He first took out a few pieces of jade, and then asked Su Xiaofan to help him check out Feng Shui.
"I'm not a Feng Shui master."
Su Xiaofan shook his head, turned around and left the pawn shop. There was nothing good in it. It was a waste of time to wait there. There were so many shops to see later.
"Hey, master, don't leave."
The owner of the pawn shop offended Su Xiaofan for some reason. He watched him leave, wanting to pull him away but he didn't dare.
"Master, you are here, please come in, please come in quickly."
The boss of the next store has already prepared something.
Knowing that Su Xiaofan was here for antiques, he not only took out all the jades in the store, but also took out a few pieces of porcelain.
"Master, please help me take a look."
This person just heard Su Xiaofan's words and didn't dare to mention the word Feng Shui. He was afraid of offending the other party's taboo, so he turned around and left the store.
"This thing is wrong and cannot be kept."
Su Xiaofan reached out and picked up a jade brave, and with one hand, he smashed the jade brave into pieces.
Although he had heard colleagues from two pawn shops brag about it before, when he saw Su Xiaofan's move, the shop owner was still shocked by Su Xiaofan and insisted on packing the pieces of porcelain and jade for Su Xiaofan to take away.
Su Xiaofan waved his hand and rejected the shop owner's intention. He was not here to collect rags. What did he want with those rubbish items?
The remaining jade stones are all ordinary jade stones, which can be sold for three to five hundred yuan a piece at most. As for the porcelain, it is even worthless. You can buy it in any antique market for thirty or fifty yuan. With these things, you can
For Su Xiaofan, it was just a burden.
"A little more repair value."
Looking at the number 89 displayed in his mind, Su Xiaofan was very satisfied. Playing the same game would earn repair value, which was much better than searching for meteorites in the ice and snow of the Arjin Mountains. The only thing that made Su Xiaofan a little regretful was that these pieces of jade absorbed
The repair value is a bit low.
"Could it be because there is less evil spirit in it?"
While Su Xiaofan was thinking, he walked into another pawn shop. This pawn shop was separated from the previous one by a video store. I wonder if he was afraid that Su Xiaofan would jump over, so the boss directly greeted the person from the previous store.
door.
The owner of this shop is a bit older, an old man in his sixties, wearing a pair of glasses and looking shrewd.
"Are you quite united?"
Su Xiaofan looked at the boss with some confusion. How could all the pawn shops on the street know about it in such a short time? There were more than one or two people waiting outside.
"Ahem, people usually come to buy things that we don't have. Can we introduce them to our colleagues?"
When I asked Su Xiaofan for help, the pawn shop owner told the truth, and Su Xiaofan suddenly understood.
It is beneficial to these pawn shops to exchange what is available, as it can make items circulate and be cashed out faster, and if you introduce them to others, you will definitely get commissions.
"Master, these are the jades and antiques I have collected over the years. Can you help me check if there is anything evil in them?"
The pawn shop owner brought out twenty or thirty pieces of jade, as well as a few pieces of porcelain.
"Um?"
When Su Xiaofan glanced at the jade articles, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
[Hongshan Culture: Jade Pig Dragon!]
[Shijiahe Culture: Sapphire Human Face!]
[Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty: Jade ring finger!]
The information about the three objects made Su Xiaofan slightly stunned. This is a good thing. How could it be left here?
More than one jade pig dragon from the Hongshan Culture has been unearthed, but the auction price on the market was never less than 5 million, and the most expensive one sold for more than 16 million.
The jade dragon from the late Shang Dynasty that Su Xiaofan got just now is actually an imitation of the jade pig dragon. Although it is an imitation, the jade dragon is worth at least one million.
As for the sapphire human face from the Shijiahe culture, even though it is only a jade tube that is only three or four centimeters in size, it is still a priceless object.
An auction house once sold a jade artifact from the Shijiahe Culture, and the transaction price seemed to be around 6 million.
"Is this really going to be a special jade auction?"
Su Xiaofan didn't expect to visit a pawn shop and get such a huge harvest. The three jade items in front of him may be worth more than the eight famous ancient spring treasures he bought.
"Master, what's wrong? I...there's something wrong with my store?"
Su Xiaofan remained silent there, which frightened the owner of the pawn shop.
"Ahem, something's not right."
Su Xiaofan coughed twice, frowned slightly, and said, "The yin energy in your store is a bit strong. Are these jades recently collected?"
Jade articles from the Hongshan Culture and Shijiahe Culture have been auctioned many times abroad, and anyone with a little experience can identify them.
Su Xiaofan believed that this old man must be ignorant, and it had not been long since he had put the things away, so he probably hadn't had time to find someone to look at them.
"Yes, I just collected it the day before yesterday."
The old man's face turned pale with fright at Su Xiaofan's words, "It was a few street guys from the Mainland who said it was taken out of a tomb and was worth a lot of money. They defrauded me of more than 20,000 Hong Kong paper."
"The jades from the Hongshan Culture and Shijiahe Culture were pawned for more than 20,000 Hong Kong paper?"
Su Xiaofan was speechless. What's more, there was a jade ring from the Qing Dynasty. It was an item from the early Qing Dynasty. It might have been used by Emperor Shunzhi for hunting, so it was a perfect item for auction.
"It's really something that comes out of the soil."
Su Xiaofan nodded solemnly and said, "I don't know if it's worth it, but it's definitely not good for your life, and it's not good for your business either. You only took it in a short time, and the consequences haven't appeared yet."
Since everyone regards him as a master, if Su Xiaofan spends money to buy it, I don’t know what will happen. Master, let’s be a master and wait until we get the thing.
Su Xiaofan didn't feel any psychological burden from swindling items from the hands of these old pawn shop men, because these people were also good people.
They dared to take over a million-dollar watch for only 30,000 to 50,000 yuan. This piece of jade worth tens of millions was actually taken for 20,000 yuan.
If casinos are eating the flesh of gamblers, then these people in pawn shops are drinking blood. In this industry chain, no matter upstream or downstream, there is no good thing.
"Master...Master, what should we do?"
The old man at the pawn shop was about to cry. He was only sixty-two years old and had a sweetheart who was in his twenties just last month. He didn't want to die so young at such an early age.
"I'll just destroy these things."
Su Xiaofan said: "Don't worry, but if I destroy these things, it won't affect you, right?"
"These are not dead pawns. The other party has left a period of half a year to redeem them."
The old man at the pawn shop was hesitant when he heard this. Although it was said that few people came to redeem pawns, but if they did, he would have to pay for it if he couldn't take out the items.
"Oh, forget it, you can find a way to deal with it." Su Xiaofan shook his head, turned around and left.
"No, Master, you'd better help me deal with it."
Seeing that Su Xiaofan was about to leave, the old man couldn't help it. "It doesn't matter if they are all destroyed. At worst, I will just pay them some money."
Thinking of his own safety and the business of the store, the old man couldn't care less about life and death, and wished they could all be thrown out the door.
"Okay, just don't feel bad!"
Su Xiaofan picked up a jade pendant. This thing was a bit big and difficult to hold in his hand. Su Xiaofan simply rubbed it with his fingers and crushed the jade pendant into powder.
"One intensity seems a bit insufficient."
Raising the powder on his finger, Su Xiaofan picked up another jade Ruyi, and with a gesture of agreement, he twisted the Ruyi like powder.
In fact, Su Xiaofan had no repair value to absorb these two things, they were just for show to the boss.
With Su Xiaofan's current level of cultivation, the jade powder he kneaded out was probably more crumbly than the powder it turned into after being absorbed. The old man was stunned when he saw it.
No one would have thought that a master with such strength was just trying to trick him into buying a few jade articles, and the owner of the pawn shop did not have the slightest suspicion.
"Okay, these things are not too evil, just destroy them."
Su Xiaofan patted the powder on his hands, but changed the topic and said: "But these evil spirits are a bit heavy. If they are destroyed here, I am afraid they will remain for a while..."
Before the old man could speak, Su Xiaofan picked up the jade pig dragon from the Hongshan culture and said, "But the problem is not big. There are so many people coming and going here, so it will be fine in ten and a half months at most..."
Seeing that Su Xiaofan was about to crush the jade pig dragon, the pawn shop owner quickly grabbed his arm, tears welling up in his eyes.
"Master, please take it back and deal with it. My body can't bear it!"
The old man in the pawn shop was really about to cry. During this period, he felt a little powerless to deal with his young lover. If any evil spirit entered his body, he was afraid that he would cause a sudden disaster if he turned around.
"This is better, it's safer!"
Su Xiaofan naturally couldn't destroy the Jade Pig Dragon, which cost more than 10 million yuan. He just showed it to the boss and took it back immediately.
"I'll take these three back and destroy them. The others are fine. You can just keep them in the store."
Adhering to the principle of not trashing, Su Xiaofan only took away the jade pig dragon, sapphire human face and jade ring finger. These items were not big and were more than enough to put in his own money bag.
"Boss, your body is a bit weak. It has been affected these past few days."
Su Xiaofan felt a little bit regretful about getting tens of millions of dollars in vain, so he patted his boss on the shoulder, spent a bit of his true energy on it, and helped him unblock a few meridians.
"ah?"
After hearing Su Xiaofan's words, the old man felt a warmth coming from his shoulders before he could get scared.
The boss is over sixty years old this year, and his body is not as strong as before, but is a bit stiff.
But after being slapped by Su Xiaofan like this, the old man felt that his whole body suddenly relaxed a lot, as if a big stone had been removed from his back.
"Master, master, wait."
Seeing that Su Xiaofan turned around and walked out of the door, the old man quickly opened a small safe behind him, took out a box from it, chased Su Xiaofan out and grabbed Su Xiaofan.
"Master, this is my suggestion. You must accept it. You must accept it!"
"Huh? I go out for a walk to experience myself. Forget about these external things."
Su Xiaofan shook his head in a funny way. If he accepted this thing, wouldn't he really become a liar? How could Master Su's structure be so small?
"No, Master, you...you must accept it, otherwise I will feel very sorry." The old man was unwilling to do anything, and pulled Su Xiaofan to force him to accept the watch box.
"Oh well."
The watch box was not small. Su Xiaofan didn't want to put it away because it was inconvenient to put it in the bag. However, seeing the old man's gracious attitude, Su Xiaofan could only shake his head and said to Aguang: "You can hold it for me first."
"Yes, Brother Su!"
Aguang agreed respectfully and took the watch box from the old man's hand.
"Okay, I've accepted the things, can you let them go?"
Su Xiaofan looked at the boss with a wry smile. He did not dare to break free for fear of knocking him out.
"I have eight more stores in front and on another street. Master, you have to help me take a look."
The old man spoke his mind. He had been in this business for decades and opened eight stores in total. The meaning of giving away the watch just now was naturally self-evident.
Su Xiaofan didn't want to waste time and said, "I'll look over one by one and I can see your other stores."
It took at least a few minutes to see this store. There were more than a thousand on these streets. Su Xiaofan felt that if he just dazed a little, he would definitely not be able to finish them all in one day.
"Wait a minute, I'll accompany you!"
The old man was afraid that Su Xiaofan would miss some of his shops, so he turned around and pulled down the rolling shutter door of his pawn shop, because I was closed today.
"Okay, then you can follow."
Su Xiaofan smiled and shook his head.
However, after walking around a few stores, Su Xiaofan found it convenient. With the old man following him, he could talk less.
When Su Xiaofan went there, he didn't need to say anything. The old man just said what happened just now in Cantonese. All Su Xiaofan had to do was read.
Later, the old man simply told the story again in the group. Now it was good. When Su Xiaofan went to the store again, the other party had almost prepared everything.
Luxury watches and the like are naturally not evil, so most of the pawn shop owners prepare items such as jade and jewelry.
Not all pawn shops have jade, so Su Xiaofan just skipped five or six of them.
The harvest was not very big. There were some pawn shops that had already picked out valuable items. Su Xiaofan only found one piece of jade, which pushed the repair value to 90 points.
Su Xiaofan knew that this was a normal phenomenon. In fact, Qinxue jade, also called Qinse jade, was very popular among ancient jade players. He was lucky to have encountered these pieces.
However, when strolling around noon, Su Xiaofan still harvested another piece of jade.
It was a safety buckle made of jade. It was not big, but the repair system gave it valuable information.
So Su Xiaofan pretended to be a ghost and crushed another piece of jade, and safely put the jade away. This thing will most likely be a magic weapon after being cultivated.
"Boss Feng, I have to go eat first. Can we continue after dinner?"
Su Xiaofan came out of a shop and said to the old man following him that after following him for so long, he also knew that his surname was Feng.
From around eight o'clock in the morning, Su Xiaofan went shopping until one o'clock in the afternoon. He visited at least two hundred pawn shops.
Su Xiaofan was fine. With this frequency, he would have no problem even walking around for three days and three nights without eating or drinking.
However, A Guang, who was following behind him and carrying a paper backpack worth more than one million Hong Kong dollars, was breathing heavily. At this moment, A Guang was also regretting that he had allowed himself to snatch the backpack away.
You know, as he walked from store to store, he didn't even bother to take a sip of water. The backpack containing more than one million yuan weighed on him, and the clothes on his body were completely soaked.
Su Xiaofan, on the other hand, didn't even have a drop of sweat on his forehead, and his calm and relaxed look made the old man Feng who was following him think of him as a master.
"Oh, Master, look at me, I should have arranged this a long time ago."
Old man Feng was actually tired and hungry at this moment, so he just kept holding on. After hearing what Su Xiaofan said, he immediately said: "There is a Cantonese restaurant in front of me, and the food is very authentic. Old man, I will be the host, and the master must give you a favor."
.”
"Hey, Mr. Feng, the master hasn't come to my store to check it out yet."
"That's right, after Master finishes reading, I'll treat Master to dinner."
Seeing that Su Xiaofan was going to eat, the pawn shop owners who were looking forward to it were not happy. Some people had been waiting for several hours after receiving the news.
Su Xiaofan didn't know that his master had already left the circle.
Not only has he become famous in these streets, but even some people in Ao Island have heard of this young master, and many people are inquiring about Su Xiaofan's background.
"No matter what the fuss is, master will come over after dinner and won't watch any more noises."
Old man Feng looked like he was running forward and backward in front of Su Xiaofan, but in front of these colleagues, he looked very majestic.
Hearing Old Man Feng say this, the noise immediately disappeared. Old Man Feng's deceptive behavior just now made others think that he had something to do with the master.
He led Su Xiaofan to a restaurant, where Old Man Feng was very familiar. After taking the two of them to a private room, they went out to order food.
"Brother Su, the watch given by Boss Feng is not cheap."
After taking a sip of tea, Aguang regained his composure and placed the watch box on the table.
"Patek Philippe, this model has been discontinued. Now it costs more than 3 million to buy a second-hand one."
A Guang is very knowledgeable about goods. He secretly glanced at the watch in the box just now and recognized it at a glance.
"So expensive?"
Su Xiaofan was slightly stunned. He originally thought it was a watch worth tens of thousands of yuan.
"Brother Su, if you can open seven or eight pawnshops here, then Boss Feng is worth at least hundreds of millions."
Aguang knew that land was at a premium on this island, and the monthly rent for Old Man Feng's stores would cost one or two million, so he could really afford to give away this watch.
And having said that, the cost for Boss Feng to collect watches from those rotten gamblers will not be too high, only a few hundred thousand at most, which is just a drop in the bucket for him.
"Brother Gang still needs a watch, give it to him later." Su Xiaofan said nonchalantly.
Based on Su Xiaofan's current state of mind, apart from the repair value, it would be difficult for anything external to move his face.
I recommend a good book, "The Golden Eyes". It is said that the author was very handsome back then. Friends who are not good at reading can go and read it.
