The important thing is that this butterfly jade pendant is not only of good quality, but the entire piece of jade pendant is also relatively large in size!
Not only quality but also quantity!
That's why Xu Nanxing fell in love with this butterfly jade pendant at first sight!
The two parties over there were still arguing over the price.
The pawnshop employee saw that the man's clothes were old and gray, and his face looked malnourished. He knew he had just arrived in Hong Kong and was in urgent need of money, so he unscrupulously lowered the price. "This is the price! Sell it or not!"
Fu Yaozu was so angry when he saw that the other party was trying to lower the price so hard, but he could do nothing.
His family in the inland was a landlord and capitalist family. After several years of movements, his parents could not bear the pressure and both died of illness.
After his parents passed away, Fu Yaozu saw that his once wealthy home had become destitute. He made up his mind and dug out all the ancestral treasures that his parents had secretly hidden, and fled all the way to Hong Kong.
Needless to say, the journey was extremely difficult and he almost died on the road. Fortunately, his ancestors blessed him and he arrived in Hong Kong safely. However, half of his companions died on the road.
He thought everything would be fine in the future, but he didn't expect that Hong Kong was very hostile to people like them who had come here illegally. It was common for them to be looked down upon, beaten, and scolded.
Now that he was at his wit's end, he made up his mind to pawn his ancestral jade pendant, hoping to redeem it when he became rich with the money.
Unexpectedly, when the pawnshop heard that he only wanted to pawn the item alive (live pawn: refers to the pawner redeeming the pawned item within the current period and the pawnshop earning interest), the people in the pawnshop pushed the price so low, which made it clear that they wanted him to have a dead pawn (dead pawn: refers to the pawner being unable to redeem the item within the current period, which becomes a dead pawn and the pawnshop will sell the pawned item, which is what the pawnshop hopes for most and also the biggest bonus)!
Of course Fu Yaozu refused.
This is his family heirloom. If he pawns it, he will be considered a prodigal son of the family and will be considered to be sorry for his ancestors. How could he possibly pawn something that is his family heirloom?
He pawned all the family heirlooms and was too embarrassed to see his ancestors after his death!
Xu Nanxing, who had been watching for a long time, also saw the conflict between the two sides.
It's obvious that the people who come here to pawn things are from the south, and they have a very strong sense of family.
Of course, heirlooms are more important!
How could someone be willing to pawn an heirloom?
The pawnshops want to maximize their profits, so they lower the price of live pawns, hoping that the other party will compromise and give them the dead pawns.
We can’t say that pawnshops are dishonest. After all, they are running a business and it is normal for them to want to maximize their profits.
For those who have come here illegally and have no relatives or friends to rely on, they usually have no choice but to pawn their valuables to them.
The people in this pawnshop have very sharp eyes. They can see the seller's situation at a glance, so they dare to lower the price of the work so low. It seems that they have done many similar things.
Unfortunately, she met Xu Nanxing now. She didn't care whether the two parties were still discussing or not, and she followed the rule that other people couldn't interfere.
She had taken a fancy to this butterfly jade pendant and didn't want to let it go!
He immediately stepped forward and said to the owner of the jade pendant with a smile: "My friend, your jade pendant is quite beautiful! I like it very much! Otherwise, why don't you sell it to me!"
The two parties who were arguing were suddenly noticed and looked over in surprise. Those who were waiting to pawn items at the back also looked over when they saw that there was something exciting to watch.
The pawnshop employee was immediately displeased when he saw someone cutting in, a young girl who had appeared out of nowhere. "Hey! Do you understand the rules? The buyer and seller are bargaining, and you're suddenly butting in. What's the matter with that? Didn't your family teach you not to butt in outside?"
Xu Nanxing was scolded by the other party, but she didn't get angry.
"Really? Your pawnshop is clearly a place for pawning things, but now it's acting like a place for selling things! People clearly just want to pawn their things alive and redeem them later! But you're keeping the price so low for the live pawns, obviously wanting people to pawn their things dead to you! If you really want to sell the things, you might as well sell them directly to those antique shops! At least the price they pay is much higher than you! You're clearly trying to trick fools!"
He continued to smile and asked the owner of the jade pendant, "My friend, do you still want to sell your item to this pawnshop? If you really want to sell it, you might as well sell it to me! The price I offer is definitely higher than what this pawnshop offers!"
"Or, if you really don't want to sell it, you can pawn it to me! Let's agree on a date. As long as you come to redeem it within the specified time, I'll redeem it to you! How's that?"
Fu Yaozu pondered for a while. Looking at the attitude of the pawnshop owner, it was obvious that he wanted to lower the price and force him to pawn the item.
But this ancestral jade pendant must not be lost in his hands!
It is absolutely impossible to die!
He was very moved by the girl's suggestion that would allow him to redeem the items in the future!
But, can we believe what this girl says?
