Chapter 150

The purpose of taking a boat to Honolulu has been achieved. The plan is very smooth. It depends on the price of the gold.

Honolulu now has US dollars in circulation. The best Remington double barreled shotgun in this era is about $10, and a comet bike is only $4.

These are good things in the future. If they are well preserved, in the antique market in 2018, the old Remington shotgun can be sold for $7000, and the comet bike can be sold for $5000.

Su Ming's gold jewelry should be worth 2000 U.S. dollars. Of course, that's the price in the jewelry store. The pawnshop can't afford it.

But Su Ming had to sell the jewelry at a high price.

Drilling through the crowd in the port, he sent a few short-sighted thieves and easily broke their fingers. Su Ming naturally walked into the pawnshop.

Antique counters and fences, but also placed some vases and paintings as decorations, an old man with round glasses and white beard was dozing in the counter.

He was wearing a mandarin jacket, wearing a black yuan Wai cap, and an abacus and magnifying glass on his hand.

Su Ming knocked on the counter with his knuckles, took out a small cloth package and put it on the table.

"Shopkeeper, business is coming."

The old man took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes. It was strange that he saw a white boy in front of him. How could he open his mouth and be an authentic Beiping accent?

But the rule is not to ask the way, so he just politely smile, took a small cloth package and unfolded.

After a while, the old man took a cold breath like a soup.

"Hiss..."

not to mention the excellent quality of these gold, the gemstones on them are brilliant, even the carving and design are superb.

It's a first-class treasure in the world.

Of course, this is the technology of the future, the more inclusive aesthetic concept in the future, isn't it the first in the world in this era? There are also vacuum molding machine, computer micro lathe to understand?

The old man picked up the abacus and stroked it up and down. The abacus beads crackled, indicating that he had done business.

"Young man, things are good things. They are full of real gold. I will not deceive you. However, according to the rules of our pawnshop, you know how to cut down when you enter the pawnshop?"

The old man had the accent of a southern province, so Su Ming immediately changed into the same dialect. Who could not speak a few dialects in the Internet age?

"Shopkeeper, I understand the rules, but I'm not here to pawn, but to give you a way to get rich."

The old man was stunned. OK, this is a foreigner who has become a native. He wants to see what kind of flowers the foreigner can say.

"Oh, I'd like to hear more about it."

He plucked the abacus bead to signal Su Ming to start his performance.

Su Ming, of course, is not willing to give in. The old man is willing to listen to the story, which can sell more.

"Let's not say anything else. Look at the color and workmanship of the gold, and then look at the water and flour of the gem. Have you ever seen it before?"

The old man frowned. Naturally, the more money he made, the better he got out of business. But the foreigner said that there was no pawn, and there was a way to get rich. This was strange. He wanted to hear about it.

Pawnshops pay more attention to eyesight. Their favorite guests are the second generation ancestors who don't know anything. Because they don't know the trade, they pawn the treasure of the family.

And this very fluent Chinese foreigner brought a variety of surprises as soon as he entered the door, which showed that he had seen the world.

"No, as I said, you are a good thing." The old man touched his beard: "people say that our business is immoral, and we are talking about taking advantage of the fire. But I am still a businessman. I have a valuation for you, and I am willing to accept it."

Su Ming nodded with a smile, but he didn't believe a word. The old man asked him to do it, but he wanted to cooperate in another way.

"To tell you the truth, these treasures came from the palace, not the one in Peiping, but the Louvre in France. Have you heard of it?"

Actually, the source of jewelry is bat cave, but can Su Ming tell him?

"A little bit."

The old man took a cup of tea with dignity, but he felt a little thirsty. He could not hear the name.

"Well, France is now the world's largest army power, which is not comparable to Qing Dynasty. And these things were once the jewels of Mary Louisa, the wife of Emperor Napoleon a hundred years ago, Queen of the first empire of France Su Ming went on to make up the story. Anyway, the party had already died. There was no carbon 14 test this year: "but an accident happened. Napoleon was defeated and captured, and Mary was exiled overseas, so these jewelry... You know."

Does the old man understand? In fact, he doesn't understand at all. He doesn't know what these foreign names mean.

But he understood the words emperor, Empire, first power and queen.

"No wonder such exquisite jewels are really used by the royal family."

The old man was silent, but he was secretly pleased. He just had to remember the story and resell it to make a lot of money.Su Ming doesn't care about his inner thoughts. He can see his heart beating from the old man's eyes. Now, as long as he can push it again, he can't lose.

"These pieces of jewelry later fell on my ancestors' hands, but the moon waxed and waned. A few days ago, my father's fleet suddenly disappeared on the sea. Now I have to buy a boat and hire someone to look for him. That's why I took out the treasure and looked for a person who was destined for him."

The old man glanced at him. Is this a fake foreigner? This little word is a set.

But... Is there anyone?

He did not speak, but calculated the price of jewelry in his heart, not to mention the way to get rich, and the truth or falsehood of the story. The value of the thing itself is also the guarantee.

"Shopkeeper, you are a man of vision. Take this treasure to Dingling, Hebei Province. The Buddha will climb out from below and give you two thumbs."

"Poof..."

the old man doesn't know whether the old Buddha will come out, but his mouth full of tea is gushing out. This is definitely a real foreigner. He is so generous that he dares to say anything.

Although the Qing Dynasty died, but people died for great.

But Su Ming came from the future. He didn't have any positive views on Empress Dowager Cixi. Now it's light to make fun of her. If the time of crossing was a few years earlier, he would have stolen her tomb before sun dianying.

The value of burial objects is more than 100 million taels of silver. Is it not for nothing to blow down C4 along the way?

The old man coughed for a while and finally said, "young man, do you know the way out of our business after collecting gold and silver jewelry?"

Su Ming nodded: "it's nothing more than changing hands, or melting and recasting."

"Yes, but it's expensive. Now that the Qing Dynasty is gone, who can be qualified to match this kind of jewelry?"

The old man is still dying. He wants to lower the price, which means that he can't find a market and the goods are under pressure.

However, this was already in Su Ming's plan. He didn't want to pit his compatriots, so he had prepared a clear road for the old man.

He laughed: "shopkeeper, you are wrong about this. You are not in Qing Dynasty, but in Honolulu. Although the queen of Hawaii abdicated, she did not die."

As soon as the old man's eyes brightened, he was really a fan of the game. He ruled the royal family of Hawaii for hundreds of years. They had money!

The United States forcibly annexed Hawaii and compensated the queen with 420000 dollars and a sugarcane field. Now the queen of Hawaii has nothing but money.

As long as he takes the jewelry and sells it to the royal family, he can make a steady profit and double the profit if it runs well.

It turns out that this is the way to get rich, even if they may catch up with the old nobles. These people still have great energy in Honolulu. This is not only a way of wealth, but also a ladder.

He didn't know why Su Ming went to their pawnshop, but if he couldn't get along with him, Su Ming turned around and went to find a foreign comprador, and his fortune would fly away.
