Chapter 3 Selling Watches
Qin Guangcheng was the most loyal person, and was grateful to Wang Hengyue for saving his life, so he patted his chest and agreed.
After drinking seven or eighty-six seconds of drunkenness, Qin Guangcheng stumbled and stood up, asking his family to support Wang Hengyue to the guest room to rest.
I slept so well this time, and when I woke up, it was already noon.
A maid was waiting there for a long time. When she saw Wang Hengyue woke up, she hurriedly brought her toiletries.
The wealthy families are indeed different, and they don’t have to do anything by themselves. Wang Hengyue sighed. Although he is not used to rinsing his teeth powder, he is acceptable after all. He quickly washed it and left the house with his maid.
As soon as he went out, Qin Guangcheng had been waiting there. When he saw Wang Hengyue, he smiled and said, "Brother is sleeping well?"
"Okay, very good." Wang Hengyue also smiled and bowed.
While accompanying Wang Hengyue to the dining room, he asked, "It's okay for brothers to cut their braids, but it looks a bit eye-catching. Do you have to prepare a fake braid for brothers to cover people's ears and ears?"
Qin Guangcheng is right. Cutting a braid is no longer a crime of beheading at this time.
The Boxer Rebellion in 1900 was a very important event in Chinese history. Since then, the Qing government’s prestige was ruined, its control over various places was weakened, and local forces began to grow. The domestic “Hubei student community” proposed to cut braids and change their clothes in 1903.
After 1903, with the return of international students, a small number of young students began to cut their braids in southern provinces where the Qing government had weak control. After the Qing government established a new army, in order to facilitate the wear of military caps, some soldiers also cut off their braids. For this reason, the Qing government issued an order on May 6, 1907, strictly prohibiting students from cutting their braids. Once found out, they would be punished. However, at this time, the control of the Qing government was no longer as good as before, and this order was not strictly implemented in various places.
The Qing government had no choice but to adopt a default attitude towards this.
Therefore, there are many soldiers in all parts of the country, especially in southern provinces. As long as they do not publicly say that they are "revolutionary parties", the government generally does not interfere.
Wang Hengyue pondered for a moment: "Brother, when I was overseas, I had already cut my braids. I was so unaccustomed to having me drag my tail like this."
Seeing that Wang Hengyue insisted on doing this, Qin Guangcheng no longer insisted. He accompanied Wang Hengyue to eat, took him to the living room, chatted for a few words, and his family reported that a guest was here.
After bringing the two guests in, Qin Guangcheng greeted him with a smile: "Brother Luo, Brother Du!"
As he said that, he introduced Wang Hengyue first, and only introduced that he had returned from overseas. His surname was Wang's name was Hengyue, and his name was Shuzhi. The word "Shuzhi" was originally the first name Wang Hengyue's grandfather gave him. When he talked about it at the banquet yesterday, Wang Hengyue simply used it as his own word "Shuzhi".
Then he pointed to the two guests and said, "This is the shopkeeper of Luo Taiwuluo from Hengtong Jewelry and Pawnshop, and this is Manager Du Charlie Du of the Bocao Foreign Goods Store."
Luo Taiwu is a well-decorated Chinese businessman dress, and he has seen it before. However, Du Charlie is a foreign style, without braids, wearing a foreign costume and a top hat, and a civilized stick is in his hand. When he saw that Wang Hengyue was dressed similarly to him, he suddenly felt intimate and opened his mouth and said, "hello, i’mcharliedu, gladtomeetyouhere!"
A mouth is a mouthful of foreign language. Finally, Wang Hengyue has not forgotten the bird songs he learned, and he also smiled and said, "hello, iamwanghengyue, gladtoseeyouhere!"
"Oh, this is really a foreign country." Du Charlie was overjoyed. Seeing that Qin Guangcheng and Luo Taiwu were confused, they were showing off and showing off: "This is a way for real foreigners to say hello. If you don't stay abroad, you don't know. The brother was sent to the United States by his father, and finally saw some of the world. When he returned to Sichuan, there was no one who could talk to his brother. Today, he felt very close to seeing Brother Shuzhi."
This is another standard fake foreigner, Wang Hengyue thought with a smile.
After asking a few people to sit down, he served tea, Qin Guangcheng carefully explained how he was in danger and how Wang Hengyue was rescued. Luo Fuzhi and Du Charlie were amazed.
After talking for a while, the topic changed: "Shuzhijia is a big overseas business, with good business operations, and trades all over the United States and Britain. This time, Shuzhi returned from overseas and returned to the business after his family's order, but the remittance has not arrived and his position is tight..."
Wang Hengyue almost spitted out. Qin Guangcheng, who is so honest, doesn't blink when he makes up lies. When dealing with these business people, it really takes more care to achieve it.
When he looked at Luo Taiwu and Du Charlie again, he immediately looked embarrassed when he heard that he was going to change his position.
Qin Guangcheng was prepared for a long time. Before the two of them could refuse, he smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Shuzhi must not ask you about the loan. If you want to talk about money, I can still take out tens of thousands of taels of silver. Is my life more than tens of thousands of silver?"
Luo, Du finally felt relieved, but he didn't understand the meaning of Qin Guangcheng's words.
Qin Guangcheng gave Wang Hengyue a wink, and Wang Hengyue said, "I came back from the United States... and detoured by Switzerland. I purchased a batch of Swiss gold watches. Because my father had not received the money, I wanted to sell this batch of gold watches. I wonder if you are interested?"
When they heard it was Swiss watch, Luo and Du’s eyes shining.
The old saying of watches is "Swiss watches, German clocks". Swiss watches and German clocks are the most famous in China. Luo and Du were originally engaged in jewelry and foreign goods business. There is a group of Swiss watches, so how can you not be interested in it?
Du Charles calmed down: "Since Brother Shu brought it from Switzerland, it must be good. How about taking the liberty to ask Brother Shu to take out this batch of watches?"
Wang Hengyue nodded, stood up, accused him of guilt, asked a few people to wait, and then returned to Qin Guang to become the guest room he arranged.
I thought about it for a while in the guest room, took out three copycat gold watches from my bag to keep them for later needs, and then returned to the living room with a full pack of copycat goods.
"Jiuhou, Jiuhou." Wang Hengyue smiled and put the bag on the table. Luo Fuzhi and Du Charlie, who had been unable to hold on for a long time, quickly got up and surrounded him. Qin Guangcheng also walked over curiously.
Open the bag and took out a few exquisitely crafted boxes. As soon as I opened the box, Luo Fuzhi and Du Charlie's eyes suddenly shone.
Du Charlie took the box and kept exclaiming: "Good goods, good goods, what foreign countries bring is different. Such goods are rare even when brothers are in the United States!"
