"51 yuan Lang Qin mechanical watch, 20 yuan.”
"Five hundred dollars worth of diamonds, two."
" Refined lighter, ten."
"Three-edged military knife, two."
"Two toy pistols that can ring.”
" Penicillins, Cephalothrin, Syringe, Ganmaoling, Tetanus vaccine…"
“……”
In the rented house, a handsome young man was carefully bowing.
His name was Rowe, and he was preparing to go on a long journey.
The destination of his journey was the most prosperous city in China.
Shanghai.
However, it was not the 21st century Shanghai that he was currently in, but the 20th century Ten Miles Trading Company!
Yes, at this moment, he was preparing for transmigration.
It wasn't that he had lost his mind, but that he could really travel to the past.
"System."
Rowei packed his luggage and called out silently in his heart.
Ding!
[Host: Luo Wei]
[System Space: 1×1×1(m)]
[Transmigration location: Shanghai (default, can be adjusted)]
[Secondary Function: Language Proficiency (Proficient in Mandarin of various countries)]
Time travel: 1921
[Time travel cooldown: 10 days]
" The cooldown time is ten days."
Luo Wei calculated silently in his heart, This means that I have to stay there for at least ten days. I have to be prepared for safety.”
"Phew!"
Luo Wei tidied up everything, then packed them all up and threw them into the System Space.
Then, he mentioned the box he had custom-made from a certain treasure.
There were only some clothes inside.
The truly valuable things were all in the System Space.
" System, starting transmigration."
Luo Wei muttered in his heart.
His figure immediately disappeared.
When he reappeared, he was already on a noisy street paved with bluestone.
"Explode ~ fried rice pudding ~!"
"Osmanthus Red Bean Soup ~!"
"Lard and Eight Treasures Rice ~!"
“……”
Everywhere was filled with Shanghainese dialect.
As a non-Shanghainese, Luo Wei did not understand, but he was greatly shocked.
Looking at the buildings and pedestrians in front of him, Luo Wei was a little dazed.
But he quickly calmed down.
"The first step of transmigration is to find a pawnshop to cash in!”
Rowei silently recalled the plan he had made before he transmigrated and looked around for a moment.
Then, he saw a rickshaw driver walking over.
"Sir, where are you going?"
He saw a handsome young man in a western dress walking over.
The rickshaw driver immediately greeted him in fluent Mandarin.
"Go to the biggest pawnshop in Songhu. Do you know where it is?”
Luo Wei didn't bother with his awkward Mandarin and asked directly.
"I know."
The rickshaw driver nodded." There are more than 20 pawnshops in Shanghai. I dare not say that Tailai Dang is the largest, but it's about the same.”
"Then go to Tailai Dang."
Luo Wei said as he boarded the rickshaw.
"Alright, sit tight."
The rickshaw driver nodded and pulled the rickshaw straight to the pawnshop.
"What's your name?"
Luo Wei was suddenly curious." Rickshaw drivers who can speak Mandarin are rare in Shanghai.”
"Sir."
The rickshaw driver chuckled and said," That's because you're inexperienced. In Shanghai, if you want to make a living, you have to learn a few skills. As for my name, you probably haven't heard of it before.”
The rickshaw driver paused and said," My name is Wang Yaqiao.”
“？？？？”
A big question mark appeared on Luo Wei's head. You're telling me your name is Wang Yaqiao?
Assassinate King Wang Yaqiao?
And a rickshaw driver?
What a joke!
Why don't I believe it?
Luo Wei was shocked, but he couldn't say it.
Ding ding-!
After passing through the streets of Shanghai, the rickshaw finally stopped in front of a pawnshop with the iconic 'ding ding' sound of the streetcar.
"This is it, sir."
Wang Yaqiao stopped the rickshaw in front of the pawnshop and said.
"I don't have any cash on me."
Luo Wei got out of the car and looked at Wang Yaqiao." If you trust me, I'll pay you after I go to the pawn shop." Of course, you can also come along."
"No need."
Wang Yaqiao smiled." I'll wait for you here."”
"Alright."
Rowe took a deep look at this man, who was not tall or strong, but rather short. When he smiled, he even gave off a gentle feeling. He turned around and walked into the pawnshop.
"I want to pawn something."
Luo Wei walked to the counter and said.
"Sir, what do you want to pawn?"
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up when he saw Luo Wei in a suit.
He pushed the waiter away and personally walked up to ask.
"How much can you sell this Swiss-made Longines watch for?”
Luo Wei took out the golden Langqin watch that he bought from a certain treasure and placed it on the counter.
"Foreign goods?"
The shopkeeper was shocked at first. He straightened his eyes, took the watch, and looked at it carefully.
"This gentleman."
The shopkeeper raised his head without batting an eyelid and asked," Are you going to live or die?”
"Die."
It could be redeemed in the future, but the price would be lower.
It could not be redeemed, but the price was much higher.
Luo Wei didn't care about the mechanical watch he bought at wholesale price, so he naturally chose to die.
"A thousand dollars."
The shopkeeper pondered for two seconds and slowly gave a price.
A thousand dollars was not a small amount.
According to the purchasing power of this era, a dollar was equivalent to 1,000 girls.
One thousand yuan was one million yuan!
It could be said that he had easily become a millionaire.
And the price of all this was a mechanical watch that he bought at the wholesale price of 50 dollars!
As one of the largest pawnshops in Songhu, his price was actually fair.
After all, he wouldn't go so far as to ruin his reputation for a little money.
"1,500."
Luo Wei looked at him deeply and said lightly," I bought the watch for 200 pounds last month. It should be worth quite a bit.”
"Sir, you can't settle the score like this."
The shopkeeper was shocked, but he smiled bitterly.
200 pounds was 2,000 dollars, but the pawnshop would not give you the original price.
How could a businessman not make a profit?
" Then forget it. There are more than twenty pawn shops in Shanghai anyway…"
"1,500 yuan for a Western watch!”
Without waiting for Luo Wei to finish, the shopkeeper immediately sang loudly.
"Hiss! 1,500 dollars?"
"Are Western goods that valuable?"
"Of course, this is a Swiss-made Longines watch!”
"Do you know where Switzerland is?"
"I don't know."
"Then why did you say that!"
"I can't say it!"
A small watch was actually sold at such a high price.
The surrounding passersby were instantly envious and jealous.
"Sir."
The shopkeeper's attitude was obviously much more respectful." A small yellow fish costs 40 dollars, and a large yellow fish costs 400 dollars. I'll get you three big yellow croakers, six small yellow croakers, and 60 yuan. What do you think?”
The small yellow croakers were small gold bars. Ten small yellow croakers were exchanged for one large yellow croaker.
After all, 1,500 yuan was too much. Ordinary people could not afford it.
"Sure."
Luo Wei nodded, and the shopkeeper immediately ordered someone to get the money.
"Wait a minute."
At this moment, a crisp voice suddenly sounded from the side.
Luo Wei looked over and saw a young girl wearing a student uniform with the characteristics of the Republic of China blinking her bright eyes at him.
However, his gaze was more focused on the man behind the girl.
He had a burly figure, stood tall and straight, and his waist was bulging.
There was no need to say what the ingredients were.
"This gentleman."
The girl quickly walked to Luo Wei's side and said softly," I'll pay 1,600 dollars, but will you sell me your watch?”
PS: Explain the exchange rate.
1 pound =5 dollars =10 dollars =10 yen
