Chapter 341 Rolex Watch
Jiang Yanqiu and Tian Mi looked at the Rolex for a few seconds and then stopped looking at it. To be honest, even if they had the money to buy such a watch, they would not dare to wear it.
Unless she wanted to collect it, but she didn't understand. If people knew that she collected a worthless piece, wouldn't it be a joke?
So I followed Tian Mi to look at other things. In the end, Tian Mi and Qi Bing each bought a second-hand Longines watch, both of which were older and cheaper.
Unless you bring your own newer ones, there is no room for profit.
After buying it, the three of them went to look at bicycles. There happened to be two bicycles, one Forever and one Phoenix, both with 28-inch bars!
The asking price for the Phoenix is actually two hundred, and the permanent one is one hundred and ninety.
But Qi Bing was an expert and he immediately pointed out the problems with the car, such as the tires were not original, there was a problem with the chain, there was a problem with the bell, and he almost mentioned that there was a problem with the screws.
Finally, after some bargaining, the Phoenix one was reduced to 120 yuan, and the Yongjiu one, which was 80% new, was 180 yuan.
Tian Mi chose Phoenix, firstly because it was cheaper, and secondly because Phoenix was more prestigious. People in her circle were all about appearances and looked at the brand.
Looking at the two people's shrewd way of buying things, Jiang Yanqiu couldn't help but sigh in her heart that she used to rely on luck when buying things. She would just pay the price people quoted and didn't even know she was being cheated.
After a few rounds of shopping, they headed home. When they passed by a watch counter, they saw an old man standing in front of it.
The staff said: "Mr. Wu, it's not that we don't want to help you sell it, it's just that the price is too high. When people hear it's a thousand yuan, they don't even dare to look at it, for fear that they can't afford the compensation if they accidentally break it.
If you really need the money urgently, our trust store can buy it, but I asked our manager before, and the maximum they can offer is 700."
As soon as Jiang Yanqiu and the others heard the name, they knew it was the owner of the Rolex, so they stood aside and watched the fun.
Mr. Wu hesitated for a long time before asking, "Can't you give a little more?"
"I really can't do that. Our manager is only buying it at a high price because of your past contributions to the country. Otherwise, this watch is so expensive that we would just keep it here as collateral. Few people can afford it, and those who can would not buy second-hand. Besides, you've been wearing it for decades."
Jiang Yanqiu looked at the old man's hesitant and embarrassed expression, thinking that he might have encountered some difficulties, and suddenly wanted to help him.
It's not that she is righteous, she just simply admires those who have made contributions to the country. The fact that the other party has such a watch means that his current identity should be a bit embarrassing. After these two things, everything should be fine.
Although she didn't know much about watches, she knew that Rolex had a high collectible value, and she shouldn't lose money if she bought it.
So she stepped forward and said, "Comrade, please sell this to me!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the staff glared at her. Jiang Yanqiu's heart skipped a beat, and she remembered the bicycle she had just bought. She knew that she was blocking someone else's financial path.
But the staff didn't say anything, and said with a forced smile: "Okay, I'll give you a ticket right away."
Tian Mi and Qi Bing were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped. That was a full thousand yuan, what would a girl like you buy it for?
Mr. Wu looked at Jiang Yanqiu and said with gratitude, "Thank you so much, little girl!"
Jiang Yanqiu replied cheerfully: "Why thank you? I just need it."
When the staff handed the form and receipt to Jiang Yanqiu, he glared at her again.
Jiang Yanqiu didn't care. She picked up the bag and left without looking back.
After leaving the trust, Tian Mi couldn't help but stand up and say, "Don't come with us again in the future. You must have offended that staff member, and they probably won't forget you."
Jiang Yanqiu said nonchalantly, "It's okay if it's an offense. The old man has made such a great contribution to the country. He must be in urgent need of money to sell such a valuable item. If you can help us, please do so. Judging from the staff's appearance, I won't suffer any loss if I buy it."
Qi Bing came over and said curiously, "Let me see it. I saw an old man wearing another one in the park before. He said it was a second-hand one bought before the founding of the People's Republic of China and it cost several thousand yuan. This is the first time I've seen a second-hand one for sale."
Several people simply stopped and looked at the watch carefully.
At this time, Mr. Wu ran over breathlessly and said, "Little girl, thank you so much today. Can you leave me your address so that I can redeem the watch when I have money in the future?"
Before Jiang Yanqiu could say anything, Mr. Wu continued, "I know you bought this watch out of kindness. You have your own watch that you don't use, and this watch is very important to me. If I had no other choice, I wouldn't be willing to sell it. When I have the money to redeem it, I will definitely treat you well."
Jiang Yanqiu sighed helplessly and said, "Okay!" She had originally thought of keeping it for collection, but now it seems there is no hope.
Mr. Wu quickly thanked him: "Thank you!"
The two exchanged addresses. After Mr. Wu left, Tian Mi couldn't help but sigh, "I've never seen anything like you. You're basically lending money to a stranger."
Qi Bing smiled and joked, "Money is only a thing outside of one's body. Although I've worn this watch for decades, it's been well maintained and looks like new. It's worth the price. If someone doesn't come to redeem it, it won't be a loss. If they do, Jiang Yanqiu will definitely not suffer any loss."
Jiang Yanqiu also smiled and sighed, "The employees here must be quite rich."
Qi Bing thought for a moment and said, "Look at the situation. They're all sentimental people. We're playing with what others have left. He paid 700 yuan for this watch, but it should sell for at least 1,000. And as for these bicycles, they only buy popular brands, buying the ones that are so broken down that only the markings remain. When they bring them back, they replace everything except the markings with off-brand ones and sell them at the original price. They're rewarded for reporting these profit margins, but if they keep it secret, they split the profits with the insider."
Jiang Yanqiu sighed again and said, "It's a good thing I came with you guys, otherwise I wouldn't even know I was cheated."
Qi Bing also lamented, "The main reason is that no one has tickets, so for convenience we can only buy second-hand ones."
Jiang Yanqiu nodded and said, "That's what happened."
When we came, a few people took the bus, and when we left, there were two more bicycles.
Seeing this, Tian Mi said anxiously: "How are we going to get back? We don't know how to ride a bike."
Jiang Yanqiu said confidently: "I can ride, I'll take you."
Tian Mi asked in surprise: "When did you learn this? How come I don't know this?"
"One day I suddenly got it!" Jiang Yanqiu said after riding around.
Tian Mi's lips were almost pouting to the sky, and she said in disbelief, "You actually learned it secretly behind my back!"
Qi Bing smiled and said, "It's still early. I'll teach you. I guarantee you'll learn it in no time. Otherwise, you'll have wasted your money on this bike!"
Finally, the three of them found an open space, and Qi Bing taught Tian Mi how to ride a bicycle.
The one who knows how to ride is quick to teach. Although they ride crookedly, at least they know how to ride. The two before them took a long time to learn and couldn't sit steadily without help.
On the way back, Jiang Yanqiu was still with Tian Mi, and she watched Jiang Yanqiu riding steadily.
Tian Mi was once again certain that Jiang Yanqiu must have been secretly practicing riding a bicycle with someone on her back, otherwise how could she be able to ride so steadily and quickly with someone on her back.
Jiang Yanqiu joked about talent.
Tian Mi asked why she hadn't noticed her talent before.
