The purpose of taking the boat to Honolulu was achieved, and the plan went well, depending on what the price of the gold could be.
Honolulu now circulates US dollars, and the best Remington double-barreled shotgun of this era is only about ten dollars; A Comet bicycle is only $4.
These are good things for the future, and if well preserved, vintage Remington shotguns can fetch $7,000 and Comet bikes can fetch $5,000 on the 2018 antique market.
Su Ming's gold jewelry should be worth $2,000, of course, that is the price in the jewelry store, and the pawnshop must not give it.
But Su Ming wanted to sell these jewelry at a high price.
Drilling through the flow of people in the port, sending away a few thieves who were not long-eyed, and easily breaking their fingers, Su Ming naturally walked into the pawnshop.
The antique counter and fence were also furnished with vases and calligraphy and paintings, and an old man with round glasses and a gray beard was dozing off in the counter.
He wore a riding coat, a black man's hat on his head, and an abacus and magnifying glass at his side.
Su Ming knocked on the counter with his knuckles, took out a small cloth package and placed it on the countertop.
"Shopkeeper, business has come to the door."
The old man took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes, weird, obviously there was a white guy in front of him, why did he open his mouth to be an authentic Beiping dialect?
But the rule is not to ask where you came from, so he just smiled politely and took the small cloth package and unfolded it.
Suddenly, the golden light shone brightly, and the old man gasped as if he was drinking soup.
"Hiss" Not to mention the excellent quality of the gold, the gems on it are transparent and shiny, and even the carving and design are exquisite.
This is a treasure of the highest rank in the world.
Of course, this is the craft of the future, and the more inclusive aesthetic concept of the future is not the first in the world in this era?
There is also a vacuum pouring machine, a computer micro lathe?
The old man picked up the abacus, squeezed it up and down, and the abacus beads crackled, indicating that he had done the business.
"Young man, things are good things, full of real gold, I don't deceive you, but the rules of our pawnshop, break in half when you enter the door, do you know how to cut it?"
The old man has an accent from a southern province, and Su Ming immediately changed to the same dialect, who doesn't know a few dialects in the Internet age?
"Shopkeeper, I naturally understand the rules, but I'm not here to pawn, but to give you a way to make a fortune."
The old man was stunned, okay, this is a foreign devil who has become a fellow countryman, he wants to see what flowers this foreigner can say.
"Oh, I want to hear about it."
He tugged at the abacus beads and motioned for Su Ming to start his performance.
Su Ming is naturally the one who takes it, as long as the old man is willing to listen to the story, this can sell for a better price.
"Don't say anything else, look at the color and workmanship of this gold, and then look at the water and surface of the gem, have you seen it before?"
The old man frowned, and when he went out to do business, the more he earned, the better, but this foreigner said that it was not a pawn, and there was a way to make a fortune, which was unusual, and he wanted to hear it.
The pawnshop pays more attention to eyesight, and the favorite guest doesn't understand anything about the second ancestor, because he doesn't know how to do it, he treats the baby of the family.
And this foreigner, who is very fluent in Chinese, brought all kinds of surprises as soon as he entered the door, indicating that he had seen the world.
"No, as I said, you're a good thing."
The old man touched his beard: "People say that what we do in this business is a lack of morality, and we are talking about robbing while the fire is hot, but I am still a businessman, and I make money with integrity, I probably have an estimate of your thing, and I am willing to accept it." ” Su Ming smiled and nodded, but he didn't believe a word, the old man asked him to be, and he wanted to cooperate in another way.
"To tell you the truth, these treasures came out of the palace, not the one in Beiping, but the Louvre in France, have you heard of it?"
In fact, the source of the jewelry is the Bat Cave, but can Su Ming tell him?
"I've heard a little."
The old man took a sip of tea in a reserved bowl, but he felt a little dry in his mouth, and he couldn't hear the name.
"Hehe, then France is the world's largest army power today, and it is not comparable to the Qing Dynasty.
And these things used to be the jewelry of Marie Louisa, the wife of Emperor Napoleon and Empress of the First French Empire a hundred years ago.
Su Ming continued to make it up, anyway, the person concerned would have died a long time ago, and there was no carbon 14 test this year: "But an accident happened, Napoleon was defeated and captured, and Mary was also exiled overseas, so you know these pieces of jewelry." ” Does the old man understand?
In fact, he didn't understand at all, and he didn't know what these foreigners' names represented.
But among them, he understood the words emperor, empire, first power, and empress.
"No wonder, such a beautiful jewel is really for the royal family."
The old man remained silent, but he was secretly happy in his heart, he only had to remember this story, and when the time came, he could make a lot of money by reselling it.
Su Ming didn't care about his inner thoughts, he could already see from the old man's eyes that he was moved, and now as long as he could push it again, he would definitely not lose.
"These pieces of jewelry later fell into the hands of my ancestors, but the moon is cloudy and sunny, and a few days ago, my father's fleet suddenly disappeared on the sea, and I am now going to buy a boat and hire someone to find him, so I took out the treasure and looked for a destined person."
The old man glanced at him, this is a fake foreigner, right?

This little word comes in a set.
But is there a fate?
He didn't speak, but calculated the price of the jewel in his heart, not to mention the way to make a fortune, and the truth of the story, but the value of the thing itself is also a guarantee.
"Shopkeeper, you are a person with vision, such a treasure, you take it to Dingling, Hebei Province for a turn, Lafayette will follow "Poof" I don't know if Lafayette will come out The old man doesn't know, but his mouth full of tea squirted out, this is definitely a real foreigner, he really can't be stingy, he dares to say anything.
Although the Qing Dynasty is dead, people die greatly.
As everyone knows, Su Ming is from the future, he doesn't have a positive view of the Empress Dowager Cixi, now it's already light to just make fun of her, if the time traveled a few years earlier, he would definitely steal her tomb before Sun Dianying.
The funeral goods are worth more than 100 million taels of silver, and if you blow it up all the way, isn't it equivalent to picking it up for nothing?
The old man coughed for a while, and finally spoke: "Young man, do you know the way out after our business collects gold and silver jewelry?"
” Su Ming nodded: "It's nothing more than changing hands to the rich, or smelting and recasting." ” "Yes, but this jewelry is expensive, and 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 pressed.
However, this was already in Su Ming's plan, and he didn't want to pit his compatriots, so he had already prepared a clear path for the old man.
I saw him laugh: "Shopkeeper, you are wrong about this, you are not in the Qing Dynasty now, but in Honolulu, although the Queen of Hawaii has abdicated, she is not dead." ” The old man's eyes lit up, and he was really a fan of the authorities, the royal family that had ruled Hawaii for hundreds of years, and they were rich!
The United States forcibly annexed Hawaii, compensated the queen with $420,000, and a sugar cane field, and the current queen of Hawaii has nothing but money.
As long as he accepts this jewelry and sells it to the royal family, he will make a steady profit without losing money, and if he works well, he can double his profits.
It turns out that this is the way to get rich, and it is even possible to catch up with the old nobles, who are still very energetic in Honolulu, which is not only a road to wealth, but also a ladder to heaven.
He didn't know why Su Ming found their pawnshop, but if they couldn't talk, Su Ming turned around and went out to find a foreigner comprador, and this wealth was about to fly away.
