... Just when Mr. Liang was marveling at Qin Fang's superb gambling skills, the two of them happened to pass by the small room where chips were exchanged, and a man's sharp voice immediately came to their ears.
Qin Fang paused for a moment, then turned his head and looked in that direction... A man in his forties, wearing a somewhat old suit, was relatively neatly dressed, and his hair was also very neatly done. .
At this time, he was holding a scroll in his hand. The paper looked a bit old. It seemed that it had been passed down from ancient times... Of course, this was just the first impression. Whether it was a real antique would have to be carefully examined. The only way to identify them... In this day and age, there are so many fake antiques.
"If you like selling or not, if you don't like the price, you can go elsewhere..."
The staff member in charge of the pawn had obvious dissatisfaction on his face and waved his hand in a very rude manner.
In addition to normal cash, checks, and transfers, casinos will occasionally accept the pawn of some valuable items. This is also to cope with the eagerness of some gamblers to make money and take the opportunity to make profits.
In fact, some casinos also offer usury loans, but they all require local guarantors, and generally outsiders are not allowed to borrow money.
There are no loan sharks here at Hyatt, but there are pawns. There are short-term pawns, and there are also direct pawns... Gamblers are eager to make money, and sometimes they can do anything if they are hot-headed. .
When pawned in an outside pawn shop, the value of general items will be underpriced or underestimated, otherwise the pawn shop will not be able to make money... The lower the price, the interest will not be low at all. So once the customer does not come to redeem it, the pawn shop will Once the item is sold, you can immediately earn a very large profit.
The same principle applies to pawns in casinos. As long as the items are real and have a certain value, the price can be set as low as possible. Gamblers are eager to make money and don’t have capital, so sometimes they will use valuables. The items are pawned here... If you win, you will naturally lose the items back later. It is reasonable to pay a large amount of interest. Anyway, if you win money, you won't care about this little interest.
But if you lose, you won't have the money to redeem the items. If you can't raise the money within the pawn period, the pawn shop will sell the items immediately. In this way, you will get back your capital and profits, and you can even make a lot of money.
If you want to make more money, you will naturally have to lower the price... This is what happened to the pawn worker in front of him. He had actually noticed this man for a long time, knew that he had lost a lot, and was eager to make money. This thing is genuine. He is not sure whether it is worth three to five million, but three to five million is definitely indispensable. He directly lowers the price by one hundred thousand. If he can get it, he will really make a profit. He will wait for something later. If he makes a move, his commission will be quite considerable... "Sir, can you show me this thing..."
Qin Fang saw this scene in his eyes and threw an investigative skill on the scroll. When the results came back, he was slightly stunned, then stepped up and asked very politely.
"Er..."
The middle-aged man was in a hurry. The casino staff was really frustrating him. He scolded this guy in his heart, but he just refused to raise the price.
"Please look, please look..."
Now when I saw someone coming to ask, I immediately felt that things had taken a turn for the worse. I quickly handed the scroll to Qin Fang's hand and said excitedly.
Of course, he is not the kind of fool who doesn't look at people at all. He has already paid attention to the clothes of Qin Fang and Mr. Liang. Qin Fang is relatively good. The clothes on his body may not look good, but in fact they are all made of Customized by internationally renowned designers... It's just that the clothes and shoes don't have clear brand logos, so most people can't recognize them.
Young Master Liang looked very coquettish. The clothes he wore were from Versace, the shoes were from Louis Vuitton, and the watch on his hand was from Vacheron Constantin... The middle-aged man seemed to have some knowledge, and he recognized it immediately and looked at Qin. The looks in Fang and Young Master Liang's eyes were also different.
Just from their outfits, it is not difficult to tell that the identities of these two people are not simple, and their worth must be relatively rich. So if you want to see this treasure of his, if you want to buy it, you will definitely not pay only 100,000 yuan... Qin Fang took the scroll over and slowly unfolded it, revealing its true face in Lushan.
This is a landscape painting. The quality of the painting itself is quite high. Judging from the style of the painting, it should be a calligraphy and painting work from the Song Dynasty.
However, Qin Fang carefully distinguished the names and seals, and found that most of the names and seals on them were not famous people, at least not the works of famous people he knew.
In this way, the price of this painting will naturally not be too high, so it is no wonder that the casino staff in charge of pawns kept the price so low.
The painting is a good one, and it is also an authentic work from ancient times, but it is a pity that it is not the work of everyone, at most it is the work of a slightly famous painter.
The price of 100,000 yuan is indeed too low. It must be more than 30,000 to 500,000 yuan, and it is estimated to be in the millions.
Judging from the quality and age of this painting, it is probably not the work of an unknown person. If a professional can verify its origin, then this painting may be sold for three to five million without any problem... " I like this painting very much, but I wonder if sir, can I part with it?"
When Qin Fang saw the painting, he looked like "I like it very much" and asked with a smile on his face.
"Okay, okay! But the price..."
This middle-aged man originally wanted to pawn the painting. It was said to have been passed down from his ancestors and has been treated as a family heirloom.
It's just that he's been a little short of money recently, and this family heirloom can't be used as food. He once asked an expert in this field to appraise it. Three to five million was his exaggeration, but at that time the expert said that it could be purchased for eight hundred thousand. ... Today he came over to gamble a few times. His luck was very good at first, and he won a lot, but he soon lost it all... Eager to make money, he thought of this painting and planned to temporarily pawn it here. , he will redeem it after he wins the money!
It's just that this staff member lowered the price too hard, and of course he wasn't happy about it.
Now Qin Fang suddenly expressed his intention to take over, how could he be unhappy
It's just the price... "The price is not a problem. Just tell me the lowest price. If I think it's okay, I'll buy it directly..."
Qin Fang waved his hand and said in a very casual tone. He didn't seem to take the question too seriously, which immediately made the middle-aged man's heart move slightly.
"three million!"
The middle-aged man lowered his head and thought for a while, then popped out a number. At the same time, he stared directly at Qin Fang, observing the changes in his expression.
"This is what the expert said at the time. I am in urgent need of money now, so I will sell it to you for three million..."
Naturally, he did not forget to explain a few words.
Just hearing the price, Qin Fang frowned slightly, as if he was not very satisfied, which immediately made the middle-aged man's heart rise.
Liang Shaoze, who was next to Qin Fang, immediately raised his eyebrows and said very unhappy, "I think you are too evil-minded. They are only willing to give you one hundred thousand, but you ask us for three million. Sincerely It's a trap, right... Mr. Qin, I think we'd better not give it up, this guy is too dark!"
"That's because he doesn't know the goods. This is my ancestral treasure. I definitely didn't ask for three million from you..."
The middle-aged man had been observing Qin Fang's reaction. He finally figured out that this was the real owner. Although he frowned, he didn't say it was expensive. Naturally, there was still hope. At the same time, facing Mr. Liang's He said it plausibly.
"Forget it, stop talking..."
Liang Shao was about to continue to refute, but Qin Fang waved his hand to stop him, then turned to the middle-aged man and said, "I like this painting very much, but the price of three million is really too high... Let's do it, two hundred Wan, if you agree to the price, I will buy this painting..."
"Young Master Qin..."
Mr. Liang was also stunned and opened his mouth to say something, but Qin Fang waved his hand to signal him to stop talking.
"This... Okay, two million is two million. I'm selling you. Who asked me to need money in a hurry!"
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and agreed. He sounded unhappy, but it was easy to see from his slightly raised brows that he was also very excited.
Of course Qin Fang knew this. He even knew that the middle-aged man's psychological price was one million, but Qin Fang was too lazy to bargain with him here. He just wanted to finalize the deal as soon as possible and keep the painting. Having something for yourself is the most important thing.
The longer time dragged on, the more likely something would go wrong. He didn't want to delay his affairs just for this little money... "Check or transfer?"
Qin Fang nodded. The man agreed that it would be the best, and immediately asked if he planned to pay directly.
"I'll come, I'll come..."
Before the middle-aged man could speak, Mr. Liang immediately jumped out and shoved the chips in his hand directly into the man's hand, "Here are two million chips, count them yourself..."

Two million is actually not a small amount of money for him. Although he comes from a wealthy family, and his uncle is the chief executive of Hong Kong Island, his money comes from legitimate sources and he spends money more restrainedly. It is impossible Like other dandies, he was lavish... But this time it was different. Not to mention that he was trying to curry favor with Qin Fang. This money alone was what he had earned by following Qin Fang. He used it to pay for Qin Fang. It's also very reasonable.
After deducting the two million chips, he still had more than 100,000 scattered chips in hand. In fact, he didn't lose much...
