The boss of the apocalypse travels back to the 1970s with space
Chapter 389 Flood (1) (page 17)
The next morning, Xia Meng got up early and washed up, but she didn't go around for interviews with her resume as usual.
After getting up in the morning, Xia Meng went to the school cafeteria to have breakfast.
After breakfast, she sat in a pavilion in a small garden of the school with her mobile phone, lowered her head and started browsing the rental app.
Xia Meng clearly remembers that the apocalypse of natural disasters will begin in a month, and the first natural disaster will be floods!
At that time, most of the countries in Blue Star were flooded and soaked in water.
Everything below the sixth floor of the capital was flooded!
Therefore, if you want to survive this natural disaster safely, you must find a sturdy house with a floor height higher than six floors.
After Xia Meng thought about it, he started looking at luxury houses in high-end communities.
Xia Meng was not sure whether the house was really strong. After all, in her previous life, Xia Meng had heard that many houses were shoddy projects. After being soaked in water for several months, the load-bearing walls and pillars were cracked, and there were no signs of damage at all. Fazhu people, many survivors who lived in high-rise buildings at that time, did not die in the flood disaster, but died in the shoddy construction.
Although luxury houses are not necessarily the sturdiest, you get what you pay for. Xia Meng thinks that with the price, even if you cut corners, you don't dare to go too far, right?
Xia Meng saved more than 30,000 yuan through part-time jobs, which may not be enough to pay for one month's rent in a luxury house.
But fortunately, there is gold and various precious jewelry in Xia Meng's space.
Xia Meng planned to sell an imperial green jade bracelet first.
Xia dreamed of doing it and took a taxi directly to the most famous pawn shop in Beijing - Yintong!
The taxi parked outside the gate of the pawn shop. The facade of the pawn shop was inconspicuous and antique, but when you walked in, you discovered that there was something else going on!
Whether it is the golden nanmu chairs placed inside for guests to sit on, the agarwood on the table, or the various antique porcelain placed on the Duobao Pavilion, they all give people a sense of returning to nature and having a profound heritage.
After Xia Meng walked in, a pleasant-looking young man wearing a long gown received Xia Meng.
"Madam, what do you want to pawn?"
Xia Meng took out the jewelry box and handed it to the young man.
The young man had a smile on his face, and his smile was calm and calm. At first, he didn't pay attention to the jewelry box in his hand. But when he opened it, the smile on his face disappeared, and his expression became much more solemn. After staring at the jade bracelet carefully for a few times, the young man quickly glanced at Xia Meng and then said,
"Ma'am, please sit down, I'll fetch the master!"
Xia Meng nodded slightly and sat on the chair. The young man carefully placed the jade bracelet on the table next to Xia Meng's seat, and then hurried to the backstage.
The young man did not forget to ask another waiter in the store to serve Xia Meng tea.
Soon, a middle-aged man in a long gown hurriedly came down from upstairs and asked the young man in a low voice with a serious expression,
"Did you read that correctly?"
The young man said with determination, "Master, this apprentice still has good eyesight."
The middle-aged man nodded and said nothing. When he came to the hall and saw Xia Meng, he bowed his hand to Xia Meng first.
"Hello miss!"
Xia Meng nodded slightly, "Hello, sir!"
The middle-aged man glanced at the jade bracelet on the table, and then said,
"Can I take a look at this jade bracelet first?"
Xia Meng, "Of course!"
In front of Xia Meng, the middle-aged man carefully opened the box, took out the jade bracelet inside, and inspected it carefully...for more than ten minutes, and even took out a flashlight and a magnifying glass later.
Finally, the middle-aged man looked at Xia Meng,
"I wonder if Miss wants to sell? Or want to mortgage?"
Xia Meng, "Sell it!"
The middle-aged man's eyes lit up, "This jade bracelet has good water quality and is transparent... But this jade is destined to be destined for only one!"
"Since Miss really wants to sell, then...two million!"
Xia Meng couldn't help laughing when she heard this. She spent 50 million on this jade bracelet in her previous life!
Xia Meng didn't say anything, didn't even negotiate the price, just picked up her jade bracelet and left.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man quickly stopped him and said,
"Miss, don't worry yet. If you are not satisfied with the price, we can discuss it again."
Xia Meng sat down again, then snorted coldly, the smile on his face disappeared, and his tone was not polite at all,
"Originally, I came here because I heard that your Yintong Justice is fair. I didn't expect you to be so dark-hearted!"
The middle-aged man wasn’t angry either, he apologized and said with a smile,
"Miss, your jade bracelet is indeed good, but it is not easy to sell a jade bracelet with such a high price. There are too few people who can afford it. If we accept it, we won't be able to sell it in the end. Wouldn’t it be smashed into your hands?”
Xia Meng, "This is imperial green, don't worry about selling it!"
For those who know jade, such a good imperial green jade bracelet is indeed rare. They are a pawn shop. What a pawn shop does is buying at low prices and selling at high prices. It is impossible for them to have no sales channels. They must know many rich people. People, and even have connections with some auction houses.
If Xia Meng sent the jade bracelet to the auction house, she would definitely get more money, but the time span was relatively long and time was running out, and she couldn't afford to delay.
"Since you are not sincere," Xia Meng said in a very flat tone, "then I will send it to the auction house."
"Miss, of course we are sincere," the middle-aged man saw that Xia Meng was not easy to deceive, so he finally showed his sincerity. Let's do this.
"Ten million!"
Xia Meng still shook her head. She looked at the middle-aged man with a half-smile, and then said,
"Although I am very young, it's not that I don't understand jade. This jade bracelet was handed down from my ancestors. I have also consulted friends at the auction house. If this jade bracelet is sent to the auction house, it can be sold for almost five thousand Ten thousand!"
"Miss, you are too optimistic," the middle-aged man smiled bitterly and shook his head, "The jade bracelet... there is a high chance that it will not be sold."
Xia Meng twitched the corner of her mouth, stopped talking, picked up the jade bracelet, turned around and left.
The middle-aged man quickly said, "Miss, how much do you think is appropriate?"
Xia Meng thought for a moment, "Minimum 35 million!"
If it is sent to the auction house, even if it can be sold for 50 million, the auction house will still take part of it.
Xia Meng leaves a lot of profit space for middle-aged men.
The middle-aged man negotiated the price, "Thirty-five million is too much, I can't make the decision! How about 20 million?"
Xia Meng looked at the middle-aged man without taking a step back, "If you can't make the decision, then let the person who can make the decision come out and talk to me!"
Seeing Xia Meng's determined expression, the middle-aged man thought for a while and said,
"Okay, miss, please wait a moment while I call the company."
Xia Meng nodded slightly and sat back again.
The middle-aged man went to call the company's senior management.
A business of tens of millions is not a small amount, so the company sent two more experts to appraise antique jade.
After they came over, they also stared at Xia Meng's jade bracelet for a long time, and finally confirmed that it was indeed an imperial green jade bracelet of rare quality.
However, they differed on price.
