Just as Xu Zhixin was about to answer, she noticed that everyone around her, whether selling or buying things, was looking at her. To be more precise, they were all looking at the Rolex on her hand.
"It's the watch!" Suddenly someone shouted excitedly, and the shout immediately spread out to the second courtyard, where someone shouted loudly: "Where is the watch?"
"Listen to the sound, it seems to be in the third courtyard." Immediately, another sound came from the second courtyard.
Xu Zhixin was a little surprised. Why did it seem like this watch was so popular? Everyone seemed to be very interested in it. Could it be that her previous guess that no one would buy watches on the black market was wrong?
"Uncle, how much is your watch? How much is it? What brand?" The man who Xu Zhixin had actively recruited earlier saw that Xu Zhixin was distracted and did not answer him. He frowned slightly, a little displeased, and raised his voice and shouted.
Xu Zhixin came back to her senses immediately, showing the man an embarrassed expression, and quickly replied: "This watch is a foreign brand Rolex, it costs one thousand yuan."
As soon as these words came out, it was like a bomb, shocking the man and the people around him.
"One thousand yuan!" The man took a while to come back to his senses, showing a very excited expression. "Uncle, you are not crazy! How dare you ask for a thousand yuan! A Shanghai brand watch only costs more than a hundred yuan!"
People around nodded one after another. Some said that Xu Zhixin was cruel, and some said that Xu Zhixin might be really crazy to dare to ask for such a high price. A large number of people gathered around and stared at the watch on Xu Zhixin's hand, wanting to know why it was worth a thousand yuan.
There were also many people who ran from the second courtyard, or even the first courtyard to the third courtyard, and surrounded Xu Zhixin because of the watch.
Xu Zhixin looked at the huge crowds of people around her, which were so crowded that there was no room for movement, and suddenly felt a little pressured.
Why are there so many people?
How rare is this watch that it can attract so many people? Is it because it is from foreign countries, or is it because it costs one thousand and is too expensive, making these people so curious?
"Have you heard of Swiss watches?" Xu Zhixin asked the crowd.
Someone had heard of it and responded, "I've heard of it. I heard that Swiss watches are very good, they never break, and they keep accurate time. They're not like domestically produced watches, many of which don't keep accurate time. Some brands are of poor quality and break easily!"
“The Rolex on my hand is a Swiss watch, and it is the most famous watch in Switzerland, even the most famous watch in the world. It is much better than the Shanghai brand watches produced in our country. Look at the style of this watch, it is so beautiful!
I tell you, if a Rolex like this is sold at the Friendship Store for 1,200 yuan less, you can’t buy it, so I’m asking for 1,000 yuan, which is really not expensive at all, it’s already a bargain.” Xu Zhixin began to sell frantically.
“And you know what the Friendship Store is, right? It’s a place that only foreigners and officials can enter. Ordinary people like us can’t enter.
And if you want to buy things in the Friendship Store, you have to use foreign exchange coupons, which means you can’t buy them with the money we usually use.
So you say this Rolex is so precious, it is too cheap to sell it for one thousand dollars, it is too cost-effective, whoever buys it will be lucky and blessed. "
Xu Zhixin secretly sighed that she was a little impressed by her own mouth. She was so eloquent and good at fooling people.
However, at that time, foreign products like Rolex were only available in the Friendship Store, and the Friendship Store did not allow ordinary people to enter. Only foreign friends and officials were allowed to enter, and they only accepted foreign exchange coupons, not RMB. It was extremely difficult to buy a Rolex outside.
As for the claim that you can’t buy a Rolex at the Friendship Store for less than 1,200 yuan, that is pure nonsense.
However, this Rolex is a classic model among Rolexes, and it does cost more than one thousand yuan. I did not ask for a high price, so there is no such thing as cheating people.
