"East...East."

The clerk was stunned for a moment, a little panicked.

"Huh? Are there guests coming to pawn something?"

The person who responded to the clerk was a thin man in his 30s.

He was wearing a light cyan T-shirt and had a shiny slicked back hair.

There was a cigarette in his mouth, and he was still breathless. He was no more kind than the tattooed man before.

"He's a customer here to buy something."

The clerk answered honestly.

"Oh, someone actually came to collect the things in the store?"

The pawnshop owner looked at Su Bai.

It made her feel a little uncomfortable.

"Just buy a shabby book? Don't buy something else?"

The pawnshop owner didn't have any special reaction when he saw the Bible in Su Bai's hand.

Su Bai was a little surprised.

I thought the owner of the pawn shop would be an old man with vicious eyes.

Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a dandy.

But that's fine too.

The big leak picked up will not be discovered by the other party.

The fat middle-aged man who was following the pawnshop owner suddenly spoke and asked in Cantonese: "Friend, do you want to sell the silver tableware in your hand?"

Su Bai frowned, a little confused.

He glanced at the silver cutlery in a clear plastic bag in his hand.

How could the other party know the value of these silver tableware without taking a closer look?
Could it be that the other party also has a system?

Or was he just asking casually?
"It seems like these tableware were in the store before?"

The pawn shop owner also asked at this time.

Before Su Bai could answer, the clerk spoke first: "That's right, boss, this customer just bought it from the store."

Su Bai put his hand on his chin, thoughtfully.

He didn't even know what was in the store, so the pawnshop owner was so incompetent.

No wonder it was picked up by myself.

"You haven't answered my question yet."

The fat middle-aged man spoke again.

The clerk explained for Su Bai: "She is a tourist from the mainland and can't understand Cantonese well."

The fat middle-aged man was suddenly enlightened and asked in broken Mandarin: "Do you sell these tableware?"

Su Bai shook his head: "No, I'm going to take it back and give it away."

Seeing Su Bai's refusal, he turned to leave.

The fat middle-aged man quickly said: "My friend stayed here, how much did you spend on it?"

"Not much, just a few thousand yuan."

Su Bai said casually.

The clerk breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Su Bai didn't say the specific price, he would have room to operate.

Worried that the fat middle-aged man would ask Su Bai again, he quickly interrupted: "Sir, we still have a lot of good things in the store. You can look at others."

The pawn shop owner did not have any doubts, but introduced to the clerk: "Boss Bai came to our store to collect things."

"understood."

The clerk quickly echoed, "Boss Bai, please come inside..."

Boss Bai was unmoved.

His eyes stayed on the bag in Su Bai's hand.

"How about I pay 1 yuan and sell me these silver tableware?"

Seeing that Su Bai was about to leave, he suddenly spoke.

"Ten thousand? Do you think these tableware are worth that much?"

Su Bai pretended to be surprised.

I don't seem to know the price of this set of tableware.

Boss Bai saw it and couldn't help but show a hint of excitement and explained: "I just like this kind of old-fashioned silver tableware, so I only paid 1 yuan."

"No one would pay so much money elsewhere."

"Really? But I don't want to sell it to anyone else."

Su Bai still shook his head.

Boss Bai was a little anxious: "Sell me this set of tableware, and you can use the 1 yuan to buy a better set in the mainland, right?"

"Now the prices in the mainland are no cheaper than those in Hong Kong."

Su Bai looked at Boss Bai with a smile.

Boss Bai seemed to have misunderstood what she meant.

Without thinking much, he said, "Let's do this. I'll add an extra 2000 yuan. How about [-] yuan?"

"Not for sale."

"Fifteen thousand!"

Boss Bai added another 3000 yuan.

The pawnshop owner's expression froze.

He just heard that Su Bai only spent a few thousand yuan to buy this set of tableware.

But before anyone even left the store, someone was buying it at a high price.

This made him a little dumbfounded.

"Why did you sell that set of silver tableware for thousands of dollars?"

He asked the clerk in a low voice with a cold face.

The clerk swallowed and quickly explained: "Boss, this is none of my business! The price registered in the store is several thousand yuan."

In fact, he had already killed Su Bai.

The tableware originally priced at 5000 yuan was sold for 7500 yuan.

That's enough to make a profit of 2500 yuan.

He dared not tell the truth.

The pawn shop owner scolded: "Damn it, I just said that Lao Hu's vision is getting worse and worse, and he gives random valuations to the treasures in the store. Fortunately, I opened him in time!"

"My boss is wise!"

When the clerk saw that the boss didn't pursue the matter, he quickly flattered him.

Boss Bai waited quietly for Su Bai's response.

But he didn't expect Su Bai to turn around and leave.

"Hey, didn't you hear clearly? I meant 5000 yuan!"

Boss Bai was stunned for a moment, thinking that his Mandarin was not standard, so he quickly called Su Bai to stop.

Su Bai frowned: "I told you not to sell it, so don't bother me!"

"You are stupid, you don't make money even if you have money. With 5000 yuan, you can make 1 yuan!"

Boss Bai blurted out.

"Eh? Why do you think I can earn ten thousand?"

Su Bai tilted his head and asked.

5000 yuan happened to be the price she saw at the counter just now.

The clerk later added another 2500 yuan.

But she didn't say anything about it.

How did Boss Bai know?
"My guess is that if this set of tableware is placed in the store, it will only cost 5000 yuan."

Boss Bai realized that he had made a mistake and hurriedly explained.

"Really? Then your guess is somewhat accurate."

Su Bai said with a light smile.

"So are you going to sell it or not?"

Boss Bai didn't want to get entangled in this matter and quickly changed the subject.

Studio.

The new fans were all surprised.

[Oh no, did the host miss something? 】

[The tableware I bought for 7500 yuan has doubled when I changed hands. This is too exaggerated! 】

[It’s so fake. How can silver tableware be so expensive? It must be an act. 】

Faced with these doubts, old fans immediately stood up to refute.

[Haha, I say you don’t understand, but you still don’t believe me! 】

[Just watch, 5000 yuan will definitely not buy what the anchor has. 】

【real or fake?It’s doubled and you still won’t sell it? 】

【Don’t brag! 】

[If it were me, I would definitely sell it! 】

[If you don’t sell, you’d be a fool! 】

There were quite a few new viewers, and questioning comments filled the screen, making old fans furious.

Su Bai smiled and shook his head.

It seems that I can’t stand up for my old fans anymore.

"Sell it to me. These tableware are all black. It would be bad to give them away..."

Boss Bai is still struggling.

Su Bai smiled lightly and said, "Well, you add two zeros and I'll sell it to you."

"Two zeros? You, are you kidding!"

Boss Bai was suddenly speechless.

Su Bai was annoyed and a little impatient.

No longer wasting words with Boss Bai, he took out a silver spoon from the bag and said, "Do you think you saw the English words on it? Revere's spoon."

"If you want to buy it, be sincere."

Su Bai said seriously.

"Sincerity? What sincerity?"

Boss Bai is still pretending to be confused.

But there was already a turbulent wave in his heart.

The little girl who looks like an ordinary tourist actually knows the secret of this set of tableware!
Now that things have happened, it is no longer possible for him to buy this set of tableware at a low price!

"You can come to me after you think about it."

Su Bai left a word, turned around and walked out of the pawn shop.

The pawnshop owner and clerk were stunned.

"What is she talking about?"

They both asked in unison.

"I, how do I know, just don't sell it."

Boss Bai couldn't explain, so he said instead: "By the way, I'll go out and make a call with the customer first. Please wait for me."

After saying that, the two people were left looking at each other and walked to the door of the pawn shop.

Looking at Su Bai's retreating back, Boss Bai stamped his feet angrily.

But helpless.

I had to take out my mobile phone and dial a number.

After being connected, Boss Bai looked around.

After making sure no one was watching, he whispered: "Old Hu, something big has happened!"

"what's up?"

On the other end of the phone was Hu Chaofeng, who had resigned from this pawn shop.

"The set of silver tableware made by Revere himself was bought by someone!"

"How could this be?"

Hu Chaofeng was also shocked when he heard the news.

After a few seconds, he calmed down and said in an urgent voice: "Do you know who the buyer is? Find the buyer and spend more money to buy it from him."

"Oh, it's too late!"

Boss Bai sighed: "She knows the origin of that set of tableware and wants me to go back to her with sincerity. Where can I find so much sincerity for a set of tableware worth millions?"

Hu Chaofeng's mood instantly sank to the bottom, and he said after a while: "In that case, forget it, hurry up and buy a few other items, especially the breeches version of the Bible, don't miss it!"

"understood."

Boss Bai put down his cell phone, took out the list of items given to him by Hu Chaofeng, and then entered the pawn shop after confirming and writing it down.

Hu Chaofeng met a middle-aged foreigner who came to the shop a few days ago and planned to pawn his deceased father's belongings.

He discovered that several items brought by the middle-aged foreigner were actually sky-high price antiques.

Through small talk, Hu Chaofeng discovered that the other party did not seem to understand the value of the items in his hands.

An evil thought arose in Hu Chaofeng's mind.

The original owner of the pawn shop had just passed away, and his unlearned son inherited the pawn shop.

The new owner felt that the salary his father paid Hu Chaofeng was too high, so he planned to open Hu Chaofeng.

Hu Chaofeng worked in a pawnshop all his life.I was fired when I said I was fired, and I was holding my breath in my heart.

Decided to teach the new owner a lesson!
He deliberately reduced the antiques in the hands of foreigners to nothing.

And deceived the other party into mortgaging the treasure to the pawn shop.

After he resigned from the pawn shop, he contacted his friend Boss Bai.

The two planned to buy a few treasures at low prices from pawn shops and earn a fortune for their retirement.

I didn't know that it was a bad start.

As soon as he arrived at the pawn shop, Boss Bai discovered that Revere's handmade tableware worth millions had been cut off.

The key is that the other party is still knowledgeable.

Now I can only give up.

Boss Bai kept comforting himself that there was a set of Bibles worth millions in the store that could be picked up...

I looked around in front of the counter.

Boss Bai was confused again.

Where has the Bible gone?

It’s not like I just put the breeches version of the Bible on the counter.

Can you find it anywhere?
"What do you want?"

Seeing Boss Bai in a daze, the clerk couldn't help but ask.

"Do you have any old books or anything here?"

Boss Bai thought for a moment and then asked.

Of course, he did not specify a Bible.

Just beware of being discovered by the new owner.

"Old books? I remember there seemed to be..."

The new owner of the pawn shop frowned and glanced at the counter.

He turned to look at the clerk and asked, "I remember there was a black book here. Where did it go?"

"Black Book?"

The clerk suddenly said: "It was bought by the tourist from the mainland just now."

"By the way, she also bought a lighter."

"understood."

The pawnshop owner was unimpressed.

But he didn't notice that Boss Bai next to him had his eyes widened.

"It's her again!"

Boss Bai almost sat down on his chair.

The Bible was actually picked up by that little girl!
The original Zippo lighter is also gone!

I still underestimated the other party!
"Boss Bai, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing Boss Bai's face turning pale, the clerk quickly came forward to greet him.

"No, it's okay. I'm a little hypoglycemic. I'm going to go out and take a breath."

He walked out of the pawn shop again.

But Su Bai could no longer be seen.

Su Bai was a little thirsty.

After shopping for a while, I bought a cup of stockings milk tea at a roadside shop and drank it.

Hong Kong Island Stockings Milk Tea tastes good.

It is smoother than the milk tea in domestic chain milk tea shops.

After taking a look at the barrage, I found that netizens were still discussing tableware.

She was surprised: "Paul Revere, you don't know?"

[Anchor, are you kidding us?How could we have heard of such partial knowledge! 】

[So what is the origin of that set of silver tableware? 】

[Don’t whet our appetite, tell us quickly! 】

Netizens protested one after another.

It means that if Su Bai doesn't talk about it, they won't be able to eat.

Netizens are too lazy this time.

Can't even use search engines.

For the health of netizens, Su Bai had to explain: "Paul Revere was a hero during the American Revolutionary War. On the eve of the gunfire in Lexington, he galloped on his horse to warn the colonial militia that the British army was about to attack. This He became famous overnight and was known as 'Paul Revere's Midnight Run'. Later generations had poems and paintings praising this event."

"At the same time, he was also a famous silversmith and engraver. This set of tableware was made by Paul Revere. It has his initials on it and the carving is very detailed."

"A few years ago, a foreign auction house sold a set of Revere tableware, but the spoons in it were incomplete, with twelve pieces missing."

[Twelve spoons?The anchor bought exactly twelve! 】

[This is too coincidental! 】

[No, how does the anchor know that these spoons are not fakes from later generations? 】

Netizens were shocked, but still had doubts.

Because things like silver products are too easy to imitate with modern craftsmanship.

Of course, Su Bai cannot be said to have been identified by the system.

She thought for a while and explained: "I wasn't sure at first. It was only after seeing the Bible and the lighter that I became convinced that the silver tableware was most likely real."

Netizens in the live broadcast room were confused.

What is the connection between tableware from the Revolutionary War and a Bible?
Another point is that Zippo lighters are a brand that only existed in the 20th century.

It’s so far away from the era of the War of Independence!
"Let's talk about this Bible first."

Su Bai did not write any ink and tried to introduce it as concisely as possible: "The Bible has been circulated so far more than 100 billion copies. In countries that believe in Christianity, almost everyone has a copy."

"There are actually many different versions of the Bible. The King James version is commonly used in casual conversations. Things are rare and valuable. Among the Bibles, only some special versions are valuable."

"For example, the breeches version of the Bible in my hand was published half a century before the King James Version."

As she spoke, she took out the small Bible from her bag and took off the black cover.

Reveal the original appearance of the Bible.

"The Breeches Bible is also called the Geneva Bible. As the name suggests, it is small and can be placed in a trouser pocket, hence the name."

[I thought it was published by a man named Breeches. 】

[Isn’t it an ancient version of a pocket book? 】

[Everyone in the past wore breeches? 】

Su Bai glanced at the barrage and continued: "The breeches version of the Bible was brought by the first people to settle in the beautiful country. It has another interesting point, that is, there are annotations on the side of the pages to explain the meaning of the scriptures. "

[The anchor wants to tell you, how much is this Bible worth? 】

Netizens were impatient.

“A complete 16th-century breeches version of the Bible once sold for over $10,000.”

Su Bai flipped through the Bible in his hand page by page and continued: "This book is well preserved. It is the first edition published in Geneva."

[So, this Bible is worth nearly 100 million? 】

【It’s too exaggerated! 】

[It’s just a book, why is it worth so much money? 】

Some new netizens don’t believe it at all.

It wasn't until someone posted news about the auction website in the comment area that the doubts gradually disappeared.

Curious netizens opened the website and clearly saw the picture of the Bible given by the auction company.

Compared with the Bible in Su Bai's hand, the layout and font cannot be said to be very similar, but they can only be said to be exactly the same.

The only difference is that the Bible that sold for over $10,000 is more damaged.

Some pages were even stained by water stains and the color changed.

On the other hand, looking at the Bible in Su Bai's hand, there were almost no broken pages so far.

There are only primitive traces left by the years.

[Anchor, will this Bible be sold?I am religious and would like to buy a copy. 】

A netizen with a fan card suddenly spoke.

"Okay, I'll put it in the antique shop late at night. Welcome to visit then."

Su Bai put away the Bible.

[The anchor hasn’t said anything about the relationship between the Bible and that package! 】

Some netizens reminded.

"Don't worry, didn't I just say that?"

Su Bai dug out the Zippo lighter he just bought.

"This lighter was produced in 1936. It was also in this year that Zippo obtained the windproof patent. For the first time, it designed a perforated windproof wall for this lighter and reduced the size. The classic design has been retained to this day. , it can be said that it is Zippo’s prototype lighter.”

[Why does the anchor know so clearly? 】

[It’s okay to know about porcelain calligraphy and painting, but why do you even know the history of lighters? 】

[The range of knowledge covered is too wide! 】

Netizens find it incredible.

Outrageous!

No one knows everything.

Su Bai shrugged and said, "Boss Yu happens to have a collection of prototype lighters of this style."

"This prototype has 14 windproof holes. There is a dotted line at the connection between the upper and lower cards of the hinge. When the cover is closed, the upper and lower dotted lines will connect into a straight line. Finally, the year and month of production are engraved on the bottom of the lighter."

"Boss Yu has models in various colors, but the black model is missing. The black model is the legendary prototype lighter that has never been sold. He must like it."

When Su Bai bought the lighter, he had already found a home for it.

This time I must kill Yu Qing hard.

She thought happily.

Netizens couldn't bear it anymore.

[Anchor, what is the connection between the Bible, lighters and silver tableware? 】

"Didn't you notice?"

【Notice what? 】

Netizens are puzzled.

"The label numbers of these three items on the counter are consecutive, and the store clerk's records of the three items are also on the same page. What does this mean?"

Su Bai asked back.

Netizens were silent for a while.

I don't understand why Su Bai asked this.

Su Bai paused for a few seconds and explained: "This means that the collectors of these items are the same person, that is, they were used by people to mortgage at the pawn shop at the same time."

[The anchor wants to say that the other two treasures are real, so there will be no problem with the silver tableware. 】

[Isn’t this speculation too far-fetched? 】

[That’s right, it’s just a guess. 】

Facing the doubts from netizens, Su Bai shook his head and explained:
"I wasn't sure about this speculation at first. There was an element of gambling when I bought the silver tableware."

"However, when the clerk wasn't paying attention, I flipped through the book he casually placed on the counter and found the pawn shop's mortgage records, confirming that the same person had mortgaged these items."

【I go!When did the anchor look through pawn shop records? 】

[Why didn’t I notice?You're not lying to us, are you? 】

Su Bai smiled and said, "If you don't believe it, you can watch the replay after the live broadcast. When the tattooed man selling jewelry came in, I took advantage of the clerk not paying attention and got the registration book."

Netizens in the live broadcast room recalled it in unison.

It seems that he remembered that after the tattooed man came in, Su Bai was reading a small book in his hand.

But at that time, everyone's attention was on the tattooed man.

No one paid attention to the contents of the brochure.

[This operation is too awesome! 】

[I thought that only the sellers had more tricks, but I didn’t expect that the anchors had so many ways to find out the mistakes! 】

[I learned it, I will try it next time I go to an antique store and see if I can find the purchase list. 】

[The brother in front is overthinking it. Antique shops will not be stupid enough to throw this kind of thing around so that you can see the purchase price. 】

Speaking of the tattooed man, some netizens suddenly remembered that Su Bai also bought his brooch and hairpin.

[Anchor, what about brooches and hairpins? 】

【Is it also a baby? 】

[Isn’t it the one worn by the Queen of England? 】

Su Bai took off the hairpin on his head and laughed: "It's not that exaggerated. This is an early product of Cartier."

【Cartier?Selling watches? 】

[My watch is from Cartier. 】

[I sell jewelry, a top luxury jewelry brand. I despise you in front of you. 】

Netizens are still familiar with the Cartier brand and do not need popular science.

"This hairpin and brooch are early accessories from the Cartier Bird of Paradise series. It is not a problem to sell them for more than 10,000 dollars."

The audience in the live broadcast room was shocked.

I went to the pawn shop and picked up so many pawns!

Even the new viewers had their eyes opened.

They can easily search for the information Su Bai mentioned on the Internet.

In less than an hour, the live broadcast made millions.

Make their eyes turn red.
