Chapter 63 I asked a store to buy a watch, but the money is still too little.

This commission shop is very large and contains a wide variety of items. It can be said that it has everything.

There are everything from torn clothes and cotton-padded jackets to old bicycles, watches, and even radios and sewing machines.

Among them, old furniture accounts for the majority, and this is the most common, but basically they are furniture made of ordinary materials.

The first thing Li Jiayi looked at was watches. Although he had watch tickets, he didn't like the watches that could be bought with the tickets.

Come to the counter where the table is placed.

There are quite a few watches here, but most of them are domestically produced, the most typical of which is the Shanghai brand.

Of course, there are also some foreign brands, such as Plum, Patek Philippe, Rolex, Vacheron Constantin and so on.

Except for the plum blossoms, the rest were definitely not bought in China. They were probably brought back by those who studied abroad.

"Hello, can I see this pocket watch?" Li Jiayi asked the clerk at the commission bank.

The waiter, perhaps because he was too young, said, "You can't watch this. If you want to watch it, ask your parents to come and see it."

Li Jiayi touched his nose helplessly and said, "I have money."

He can't wear a watch, but this pocket watch is fine! Put it inside your clothes, and no one can see it.

What's more, even if it doesn't work, you can put it in the house in the space courtyard and take it out when you want.

"Even if you have money, it won't work." The guy shook his head.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? You sell things and I buy things, why do you need an adult to come?"

"What's going on?" Just then, a middle-aged man came over with a frown and asked.

"Manager, this kid wants to see this pocket watch. I'll ask his parents to come."

Hearing what the waiter said, the manager looked at Li Jiayi, who was wearing a modified military uniform and carrying a water bottle and a school bag.

The most important thing is that he is neat and tidy, and you can tell at first glance that he is not a child from an ordinary family.

If Li Jiayi knew what the manager was thinking, he would only say that you were overthinking and he was just wearing cleaner clothes.

There's no way. As a person born in the 21st century, he can't tolerate sloppiness.

Clothes can be torn or old, but they must not be dirty and must be washed clean.

"Show it to this young comrade."

"Ah! Manager..."

Before the clerk could finish, the manager interrupted him and said, "Just take it if I tell you to."

"Yes, manager."

This store is a public-private partnership, and the manager should be a public manager.

Because if it was a private manager, this guy would not be so obedient at all, and it would be good enough if he didn't come to him.

After the waiter took it out, Li Jiayi took it and looked at it. Unexpectedly, it was a famous watch, a Patek Philippe pocket watch.

"how much is this?"

"Two hundred and eighty dollars."

"Hiss!" Li Jiayi took a breath of cold air.

You know, this is an old pocket watch! It looks very old, but I didn't expect it to cost 280 yuan.

You know, two hundred and eighty yuan is enough to buy a new Plum watch, or even two Shanghai all-steel watches.

But think about it, this is a Patek Philippe pocket watch! Although I don't know how much Patek Philippe watches sell for now, it is definitely not cheap.

In this case, it is reasonable to sell this pocket watch for two hundred and eighty yuan.

"I want it, give me a ticket."

Li Jiayi handed over the pocket watch first, then said to the waiter.

"Ah! You want it?"

"Is there a problem?"

"No, no problem, I'll issue you a receipt right away." Seeing the money Li Jiayi had just taken out, it seemed like no problem at all, and judging by the thickness, it was enough to buy a pocket watch.

The clerk quickly issued the ticket. Li Jiayi took the ticket to the cashier's counter to pay, and then took the receipt back to get the pocket watch.

At this time, the guy was a little numb, this was two hundred and eighty yuan! You have to know that his monthly salary was only twenty-seven and a half yuan.

It was not even that much money his ten-month salary earned. It would have been fine if an adult had come up with it, but it was actually a child who came up with it.

He couldn't accept this, but at the same time he admired the manager's vision. Why didn't he realize that this was a child from a wealthy family?

"Take out this watch and have a look." After Li Jiayi got the pocket watch, he pointed to a Patek Philippe and said.

"Ok."

This time the guy didn't hesitate and took out the watch quickly.

Li Jiayi took it and took a look. It was a watch that was at least 80% new, but he didn't know how much it cost.

"How much does this cost?"

"One hundred and six."

"How much?" Li Jiayi thought he had heard it wrong. You know, this is a Patek Philippe!

And it was a wristwatch, but the price was so much cheaper than a pocket watch, which made him speechless.

"One hundred and sixty." said the guy again.

"I want it."

Are you kidding? If you don’t take advantage of a good deal, you’d be a bastard, especially such a big one.

I just don’t know whether this watch was commissioned by someone else, or the commissioning bank bought it itself and then sold it.

If it is the former, it is easy to deal with, because the principal has the right to set the price, and the entrusting bank only charges the entrustment fee.

If it is the latter, then the commissioning bank is too ignorant of the value of the product, this is a Patek Philippe!

In fact, it is very normal. It can only be said that Li Jiayi himself is making a fuss, because the current price of Patek Philippe sold abroad is not expensive.

Even for newly produced watches, the expensive ones can cost over a thousand dollars, while the cheap ones can cost hundreds of dollars, and three or four hundred dollars is a normal price.

At that time, the exchange rate of RMB to US dollar was 1.5 to 1, which means that one US dollar was only one and a half RMB.

Take a watch that costs three or four hundred US dollars, which is only about four hundred to six hundred RMB.

This is old and of course less valuable. Moreover, those who have studied abroad may have bought it earlier, when the price was cheaper.

As for why pocket watches are so expensive, he doesn't know, but there must be a reason.

The clerk quickly issued the ticket. Li Jiayi went over to pay and came back with the receipt to pick up the watch.

He didn't look at anything else this time, but even so, it still shocked the guy.

In just a short period of time, Li Jiayi spent more than four hundred yuan, which was his salary for a year and a half even if he did not eat or drink!

In fact, it’s not that Li Jiayi doesn’t want to watch anything else, but he doesn’t have much money in his pocket. It would be embarrassing if he asked again if he couldn’t afford it.

After coming out of the commissioned store, Li Jiayi rushed towards Fuxingmen. Although it didn't take long, it was better to get there quickly.

It’s better to sell more meat today. As for the tickets, it doesn’t matter whether they are accepted or not. Now that he has spicy strips, he will not be short of tickets.

Ten minutes later, he arrived at the Pigeon City, still carrying a basket filled with wild boar meat.

Just find a place to squat down and start selling.

"This is fat and delicious pork. Come and have a look."

"Little comrade, how much do you want to sell this pork for?"

"One yuan per pound."

Looking at the wild boar meat that was more than three fingers long, the middle-aged woman said quickly, "I want two pounds."
