About half an hour later, Xu Xiangyang heard people outside talking about returning home.
They're going back already? He hasn't even disembarked yet!
Hearing this, he became a little anxious and pressed his ear against the door to listen carefully to the sounds outside.
After a short while, there was no more sound of talking, so Xu Xiangyang immediately opened the door and went out to check the situation.
There was no one left on the ship, so he disembarked and followed the crowd out. Because it was a port, there were a lot of people.
No one checks when you leave; they only check when you come in.
After leaving the port, Xu Xiangyang looked at the people coming and going on the road and the surrounding buildings.
It's somewhat like mainland China in the 1980s, but it's certainly very prosperous now.
Look at the mainland now, the cities are just like the countryside.
The times need development and progress, and there's nothing he can do to help.
Moreover, the current situation is quite chaotic, and even if one wants to help, one is afraid of getting caught up in this storm.
After all, his first priority in doing anything is to protect himself; otherwise, what's the point of talking about change?
Xu Xiangyang stood on the road and sighed for a while before wandering around.
Because he frequently traveled for work in his previous life, he still knew the local dialect of Hong Kong, so he was able to inquire about things very smoothly.
He found a free market and took out the watch he had found earlier.
This time, instead of selling them himself, he found a large watch shop and planned to sell them to them all at once.
The shop owner was a man in his fifties, bald, with a somewhat greasy beer belly.
This was the first time Xu Xiangyang had seen such a fat man since his rebirth. It was very much in line with the environment of Hong Kong; money naturally makes people fat.
"Where did this come from?" The boss asked, a look of satisfaction in his eyes, but his face remained calm.
When doing business, you must control your emotions. Whether it's buying or selling, you have to be sensible, otherwise you won't make much money.
Xu Xiangyang was dressed in a trendy outfit this time, with a slicked-back hairstyle, sunglasses, and flashy clothes.
He tilted his head, one hand resting on the counter, and said, "Why ask so many questions? Do you take them or not? If you don't, plenty of people will want them!"
You can't be timid when dealing with this kind of person. After all, they're out selling things. If they act all honest, they'll bully you to death.
Seeing his reaction, the shopkeeper chuckled and said, "No, just asking. Are there really hundreds?"
He genuinely didn't believe it. Such beautiful watches were rare on the market these days. If he could get his hands on a few hundred, wouldn't he be rich?
Xu Xiangyang lit a cigarette and said impatiently, "Are you going to buy them or not? Why are you asking me all this time? There are five hundred in total. If you want them, we can discuss the price. If not, I'll go to the next store!"
As soon as the boss saw him about to leave with the watch, he immediately grabbed him. "Hey, hey, hey? Don't wait! I'll keep the watch. Let's go inside and talk!"
As he spoke, he pulled Xu Xiangyang into the small room inside to talk, since there were many people outside and they couldn't be careless about what they said.
Xu Xiangyang did not resist and followed him into the small living room inside.
He sat on the sofa opposite his boss, crossed his legs, and waited for the person opposite him to reply.
After thinking for a moment, the shop owner gave a price of about RMB 1.80.
Xu Xiangyang immediately stood up. "I don't see you're interested in cooperating. Forget it, I'll find someone else. The owner of the shop across the street seems pretty good."
In response to attempts to lower prices, he gave an even more provocative reply.
The shop across the street is about the same size as this one; the two must be old rivals.
Upon hearing this, the boss immediately smiled ingratiatingly and asked Xu Xiangyang to sit down.
"Don't rush, young man, how much do you think is appropriate?" He was genuinely sweating.
If these things are sent to the other side, they will keep us occupied for a while.
Therefore, you absolutely cannot let the other side take your things.
Xu Xiangyang glanced at him, then sat down on the sofa and said, "I hope you'll show some sincerity too, how about this..."
After discussing it, the two of them finally agreed on a price of 100 RMB per piece.
Of course, the money they use here is not from the mainland.
Xu Xiangyang went out for a while and came back carrying a large bag. The two of them had completed the transaction.
"Young man, remember to come to me if you find anything good in the future, I'll definitely give you a good price." The shopkeeper smiled and watched him leave.
He's happy because he can make a lot of money by reselling this watch.
With money in his pocket, Xu Xiangyang wouldn't bother with him anymore. He probably wouldn't have another chance to come over.
After all, taking a month off at once is simply impossible, unless you break the bone again?
But he's not stupid; it's not worth harming his health for money.
Arriving at a hotel, Xu Xiangyang booked a room. This time, he had the equivalent of 50,000 RMB on him, so he naturally wouldn't mistreat himself.
After changing his clothes, Xu Xiangyang was now wearing a casual suit and leather shoes.
I dressed up a bit and then went out to eat some local food.
As night fell, he glanced at the time; it was almost seven o'clock. There were quite a few people outside, unlike in the mainland where the lights go out and no one is around.
Xu Xiangyang hitched a ride to a bar, then found a bartender and whispered a few words in his ear.
The bartender then took the money he handed over and respectfully led him into a room downstairs.
Once the door opened, the scene inside was even more lively than the bar upstairs.
"Are you kidding me?! It's small again!"
"Hahaha! I won again!"
"Seriously? Are you kidding me?!"
For a moment, it was noisy and chaotic, with all sorts of sounds coming from inside.
But there is no doubt that the people who come here are there to gamble.
Xu Xiangyang found the bar and exchanged 1,000 yuan for chips, then randomly found a table to sit down.
Looking at the baccarat table in front of him, he felt as if he were in another world.
He had accompanied his boss to places like this many times in his past life and had seen his share of big events, so this kind of bet wasn't considered big.
He casually placed a few bets, lost two hundred yuan, and then moved to another place to place bets again.
He found this place out from the locals; although it wasn't a big area, it wasn't too chaotic.
Some small groups are often a mixed bag, with all sorts of people involved, and double-crossing is a common occurrence.
Xu Xiangyang watched the dealer's hand and slowly figured out some of the rules.
He placed his bets and won a hundred or two in one go, but the dealer didn't bother him.
But he kept changing tables, winning a couple hundred at each one, and his original thousand chips had grown to two thousand.
The bookmaker usually chooses to lose small amounts and win big, so he keeps observing the situation at other tables.
When he won two thousand yuan, Xu Xiangyang stopped. After all, this place wasn't just full of gamblers; there were also the bookmakers' men watching over the place, who were always on the lookout.
So they won't care if you win a little, but if you win a lot, then people will be watching you and following you.
Wherever you go, he'll follow. In the end, the house will win and the person in charge will win, and you'll lose.
