In just a moment, a middle-aged man in a green shirt came out of the house. He looked very elegant and had a smile on his face. He asked, "Does this girl want to be pawned or redeemed?"
Su Mianyue put the bag on the counter and said, "Pawn it."
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "May I have a look at what the girl pawned?"
Su mian took out a bunch of jade hairpins that she had brought back from the beginning of spring and autumn. She put the brocade box in front of the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man just looked at the box, nodded, and then took out a white silk glove from the cupboard and put it on his hand. It looked very professional and made Su Mianyue look very impressive.
The middle-aged man carefully opened the brocade box and examined the pair of jade hairpins.
To su mianyue's surprise, the middle-aged man did not show any surprise, as if the jade hairpins were nothing more than ordinary.
Su Mianyue knew very well that this pair of jade hairpins were of the highest quality, especially the two jadeite grains at the top of the hairpin.
If he was not knowledgeable, then he was determined.
In any case, the man in front of him was an expert, so thinking about it, Su Mianyue seemed to have changed his view of this simple pawn shop.
The middle-aged man held a small mirror and looked at the jade hairpin carefully. Su Mianyue looked at the middle-aged man, who looked normal and focused.
Not long after, the middle-aged man put away the small mirror. He looked at Su Mianyue with a smile, and a trace of inquiry flashed in his eyes, "Can you tell me where this pair of jade hairpins came from?"
Su Mianyue's heart thumped.
It seemed that this man had seen something.
She turned her eyes and said casually, "I have no idea where my miss's personal belongings came from."
The middle-aged man looked at Su Mianyue with his eyes blazing, then smiled clearly, "Girl, don't be nervous. I'm just asking casually."
Asking casually, Su Mianyue rolled his eyes in disbelief.
The middle-aged man shook his fan and said, "Is the girl alive or dead?"
Su Mianyue raised an eyebrow, "Tell me how much you can pay at most."
The middle-aged man was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "If you live properly, this pair of jade hairpins can be given to the girl for three or two thousand yuan. If you die, it will be three thousand seven hundred taels."
Su Mianyue had a bottom line in her heart. Without saying anything, she silently took back the jade hairpin, sighed deliberately, and said, "The shopkeeper didn't want to do a big business, but I think highly of the shopkeeper."
The middle-aged man frowned slightly, but still maintained a smile, "What do you mean, girl? It's all business to open the door. Who doesn't want to expand the business? Do you think there's a good way for a girl?"
Su Mianyue's eyes sparkled, and he looked at the middle-aged man, smiling happily, "There are ways, but..." She looked around a little. When the middle-aged man saw Su Mianyue like this, he knew what was going on. He personally walked up to her and made an inviting gesture, "Girl, there are so many people outside. Please sit inside."
Su Mianyue nodded with satisfaction and followed the middle-aged man into the inner hall. She looked around a little and found that the boss had a good eye and the furnishings were very elegant.
The middle-aged man personally served Su Mianyue a pot of tea. Su Mianyue smelled it. It was tie guanyin before the ming dynasty. It seemed that the middle-aged man knew her value.
"Miss is an honorable person. She was humble before. My surname is wu. Miss has something to say, but it's okay to say it." The middle-aged man put away his businesslike smile and showed an expression of modesty.
Su Mianyue picked up his teacup and blew on it, taking a sip. Well, it's really good tea. It's sincere.
Su Mianyue thought to himself, the movie said that before you start a big business, you have to put on a show, so that no one will look down on you.
Sure enough, boss wu couldn't sit still when he saw that she didn't say a word but just drank tea.
"Boss wu, if this hairpin were to change hands, how much would you be able to sell it for?" Su Mianyue looked at the middle-aged man with a faint smile on his lips.
Boss wu hesitated and muttered, "About 6,000 taels."
Su Mianyue smiled meaningfully, without saying anything. In business, everyone will keep their hands on it.
"If I say I have a way to make this pair of hairpins sell for ten times the price you said before, do you believe it or not?"
Boss wu, who had been unaffected by the changes, was suddenly dumbfounded.
Ten times! That would be sixty thousand taels!
"Does miss really have this method?" Boss wu looked at Su Mianyue in disbelief.
Su Mianyue smiled meaningfully, "If boss wu doesn't believe me, he won't invite the little girl to the inner hall."
Boss wu got up and held the teapot to fill the cup in front of Su Mianyue, "The girl is really smart."
Su Mianyue played with the teacup and said slowly, "I wonder if the boss has heard of the auction?"
"Auction?" Boss wu shook his head. "Never heard of it."
Su Mianyue smiled, "The boss of the Yihong Whorehouse has always been there."
Boss wu blushed and nodded.
"Those rich businessmen and high-ranking officials bid for the most money, and those who bid high get it. You should know this boss," Su Mianyue said with a smile.
Boss wu suddenly understood, and he asked in surprise and uncertainty, "Is this the way the girl wants to use?"
"Yes!" Su Mianyue said firmly. "That's the way! But this is only the first step. The specific method depends on whether the boss is willing to cooperate with the little girl."
