Chapter 729: Zheng Jiayuan's Method
Kaina Road.
It was noon, the sun was in the sky, and when the temperature was the highest in the day, there were almost no people on the street. Only occasionally could I see cars and rickshaws passing by, and the sweaty driver was sweating profusely.
At this time, most people stay in the house, whether they are cool down or sleeping, no one is willing to run outside when they are fine.
A man wearing a grass temple and a gray tunic robe got out of some alley, and he walked neither fast nor slow.
Wearing a pair of cloth shoes and a pair of brown glasses, he looked like a teacher.
After walking forward for about thirty or forty meters, I looked up and saw the four plaques of "Yuanli Pawnshop" typing, flying dragons and phoenixes, dancing and dancing, just above the round arch of carved stone bricks.
The pawnshop door was half opened, blocking the dazzling sunlight outside.
The man with straw hat looked around and walked in. As soon as he entered, he felt that it was a world of difference from outside. It was at least seven or eight degrees lower than outside.
It was really cool.
A large yard, after crossing it, it is the main hall of the pawnshop business. At this time, except for the pawnshop's servants and Chaofeng, the guests basically cannot see it.
The tall table and thick iron railings are standard for pawn shops.
The straw hat man had a very light pace. When he walked in, he didn't even disturb the guy behind the counter. He was still lying on the table and dozing, even drooling.
The straw hat man was empty-handed, not like he was here to be a thing. After he came in, he looked around at the pawnshop furnishings, then walked over and reached out to knock on the half-exposed counter and gently.
"Yaah!" The pawnshop actually turned his head over, changed to a more comfortable position, and smacked his mouth and continued to sleep.
This is something delicious in my dream and I don’t want to wake up.
The straw hat man increased the force of the knocking. This time, the guy calculated that he was awakened by the shock. He looked up suddenly and saw the straw hat man. He quickly stood up. Perhaps his legs were numb and his movements were getting up too fast, so he hooked the stool under him.
There was a roar, huh.
The entire pawnshop was alarmed.
"Xiao Liuzi, what are you doing..." A stern shout came from the inside door of the counter.
"Big shopkeeper, the guest is here." The young man looked panicked, and he quickly bent down, helped the stool up, then lowered his head and stood at least three feet away from the counter.
At this time, one or two coughs came out. Then, an old man with white silk hair mixed with hair, wearing a silk jacket and holding a hookah in his hand lifted the curtain and walked out.
The guy quickly reached out to help him. Although the pawnshop Chaofeng didn't look so old, there were many rules in the pawnshop. Xiao Liuzi was probably an apprentice or something. This industry is not so easy to get a master. Some people may not be able to develop a pair of wise eyes for decades in this industry.
Talent and eyesight are indispensable.
"This gentleman, my surname is Shi, and he is the shopkeeper of the pawnshop. What do you need?" Lao Chaofeng first reported to the house and then asked politely.
"Shopkeeper Shi Da, please help me see how much this thing is worth." The straw hat man seemed to be a magician, and he handed it over.
"The texture is gentle, so jade." Shi Lao Chaofeng reached out and took it, touched it in his hand, and then took it to the light and looked carefully.
"Thirty oceans."
"Thirty oceans are too low. I am the best white jade with mutton fat." The straw hat man said, lowering the brim of the hat slightly.
"How much ocean does that sir plan to be?"
"At least one hundred oceans, I won't be good at it if I don't have it." The straw hat man said in a valor.
"Sir, if you die, I can make the decision and give you this price, but if you live, I can add up to twenty more oceans to you."
"Forget it, I won't do it anymore, I'll give it to me. I'll go to another house to see it." The straw hat man refused directly and reached out to ask for his bracelet.
"Sir, if you want to be a real person, we can still discuss it." Manager Shi said hurriedly. Those who open pawnshops will not open for three years, and they will spend three years on their opening. Although this is a bit exaggerated, those who open pawnshops are indeed not something that ordinary people can do.
"A hundred yuan is a big ocean, I will only be a week, and I will come to redeem it in a week." said the straw hat man, "If the shopkeeper is willing, I will issue a ticket and pay it, and I can't do it, I will return the jade bracelet to me and I will find another family."
"Sir, if you work hard, you will be worth a hundred dollars. This store can't do anything. If you can't do it, you can travel all over the beach, and no one can do it. If you don't believe it, you can try it." Manager Shi raised his eyebrows and returned the jade bracelet directly.
The man with straw hat took the jade bracelet, turned around and left without saying a word.
Manager Shi Da was stunned. He tried every move. After hearing what he said, no one did he hesitate. In the end, he increased the price a little and then started the business.
But this guy turned around and left. Now, the business is gone. This is a top-notch white jade bracelet.
This one is only 150 yuan acres, and if it is a pair, it will be even more valuable.
The usual scenes are not only happening in Yuanli pawn shop, Yufeng pawn shop, Shengyuan pawn shop...
There are many talented and famous pawn shops in Shanghai, a man wearing a straw hat appeared. He was a white jade bracelet with mutton fat, and it was a hundred dollars. It was not enough to be a living person.
For pawnshops, there is basically no profit for these hundreds of oceans of work, so as long as you see there is no profit, no one is willing to do this business.
So, such a short story began to spread in the pawnshop. There were even some black-hearted pawnshops who wanted to frame the white jade bracelet in the hand of the straw hat man as "stolen goods". They signed up for the police station and wanted to delay time and arrest the people and blacken the things!
This straw hat man is not an ordinary person. Not only did he see through the other party's tricks and get out easily, but that night, this black-hearted pawnshop was killed.
...
"It was Zheng Jiayuan who was looking for the white jade bracelet in Wu Xin's hand. They should be a pair." That night, Chen Miao received a call from Sakurako Ikenai.
In addition to him, Wan Shenghe also rushed to the Broadway building to meet Sakurako Ikenai.
"It seems that he used this method to spread the news. As long as Wu Xin saw the news, she would naturally understand that he was looking for her." Wan Shenghe was also surprised after hearing Sakurako Ikenai's explanation.
"It seems that we want him to come to the door by himself and fail this move." Sakurako Ikenai sighed. Zheng Jiayuan's prudence and difficulty were three points stronger than she thought.
"We have too single channels for spreading news, and we are too underestimating Zheng Jiayuan's cunning." Chen Miao nodded.
Those who were able to become the secretary-general of the Shanghai District of the Military Control Commission and persisted on the isolated island for almost three years after the Japanese invaded Shanghai before leaving because of exposure. How could they be easily dealt with?
"Why is Zheng Jiayuan so confident? Wu Xin will go to him after hearing the news?" Wan Shenghe said, "Chongqing is sanctioning orders against Wu Xin. How dare Zheng Jiayuan fight against Dai Yunong?"
"Can it be, it's just smoke?" Chen Miao said, "Zheng Jiayuan knows we already know what he is going to do to test our reaction?"
"But we have left clues on the black market. Don't he know this news?"
"It's hard to say. He may know, maybe he doesn't know." Chen Miao said, "Let's make an assumption. If Zheng Jiayuan knew that 'Wu Xin' had a pawn shop to put out a white jade bracelet for a difficult life, then he could go to the pawn shop to investigate and ask questions, and then find out the whereabouts of 'Wu Xin'. This is what we hope. But if he knows and doesn't do it, he takes another bracelet and tells Wu Xin himself that I'll find you again, or in other words, he has made any agreement with Wu Xin, such as never going to the pawn shop to put out a jade bracelet or other oath, then we made a mistake from the beginning."
Sakurako Ikenai and Wan Shengka both nodded, which was reasonable.
"Along with that, the second situation, is that Zheng Jiayuan didn't know that the 'Wu Xin' we arranged to dismiss the white jade bracelet, but instead used his own way to find Wu Xin and even asked the military commander to help. It was a flickering shot and deliberately released the smoke screen. What's more, this was a solution they had already agreed upon after they lost contact, and this could avoid the military commander's sanctions!"
"Um."
"No, I have already reported the news that Miss Wu Xin appeared at Henry's pawn shop as you told Director Chen to report the news that my insider had "Ms. Wu Xin" appeared at Henry's pawn shop." Wan Shenghe said, "Zheng Jiayuan should have known this news now."
"How did you tell your insider to report to the top?"
"I asked him to say that a few days ago, Henry's pawnshop held an auction. He happened to see such a white jade bracelet at that auction, so he secretly asked who the original owner of the pawnshop was, and then the people at the pawnshop said it was an old woman in her fifties."
"Have Zheng Jiayuan disclosed information about the white jade bracelet to the people in the Shanghai-1 district of the Military Control Commission?" Chen Miao asked.
"I said it, but the description is not detailed."
"There shouldn't be any big problem. Could it be that he has insight into our plans? He shouldn't know that after Wu Xin was arrested, her items she had with him had been confiscated by us." Sakurako Ikenai said.
"No, from Zheng Jiayuan's perspective, he must take the worst situation into consideration, so he will not take the initiative to look for Wu Xin, but let Wu Xin take the initiative to meet him. This is the safest thing." Chen Miao shook his head and denied, "We have all made him simple."
"What should I do now?"
"I was not considerate carefully. The news we gave before was equivalent to reminding him that Wu Xin was not in our hands, and her escaped from Miss Sakurazi." Chen Miao sighed, "This is the purpose of his plan. The Military Control Commission will also punish Wu Xin. How could he want to find Wu Xin through the Military Control Commission? What if he finds it and directly implements the sanction order?"
"Sanshui Jun, don't blame yourself. When you came up with this solution, we had not received any relevant news yet. Our opponent was too cunning and unexpected." Sakurako Ikenai did not blame Chen Miao. She thought Chen Miao had made a good idea, and she felt that there was no problem, so she could execute it.
