The leader is my girlfriend

A horse that has eaten its fill of grass will of course run well. His superiors have told him that he is not allowed to be late again, so Wang Yiming, who received the "youth loss compensation", immediately went to inquire about the location of the trust store.

He has no great interest in the current Shanghai and May Day watches, but for Swiss watches, he is full of love from afar. Although Wang Yiming does not know much about watches, he still knows those big brands, Omega, Rolex, Patek Philippe, Jaeger-LeCoultre... If he buys one now, then decades later... Although he is old, he will have super security for his retirement, and he will not be worried with money in his hands. As the saying goes, raising children to prepare for old age and storing grain to prepare for famine, the prerequisite is to have money.

To look at new goods, you go to a department store, bringing money and a ticket. To look at used goods, trust stores are the first choice. But what else is the next best choice? The black market.

As the older generation says, "I've eaten more rice than you've eaten salt, and I've walked more bridges than you've walked roads." Of course, Wang Yiming had to find a dealer to buy second-hand goods, so after a chat with the gatekeeper, he decided on his route: Dongsi Trust Mall.

【According to the results of the analysis,

Trust stores can be broadly divided into three categories:

One category buys and sells miscellaneous items, ranging from cameras, handicrafts, watches to clothing, leather shoes, hats, clothes, etc. ——Destination: Dongsi Trust Store;

One category is to collect furniture, beds, tables and chairs, boxes, wardrobes, etc. ——Destination: Donghuamen Trust Store;

The last category is buying and selling bicycles, including complete bicycles and bicycle parts. —Destination: Beixinqiao Trust Store.

----------

Before going, Wang Yiming first went shopping in the department store, just looking without buying anything, feeling uneasy. After getting a rough idea of ​​the prices, he went straight to his final destination. Along the way, he made a very pious wish in advance, praying that he would find high-quality items.

The predecessor of a trust store should be a pawnshop. There are many forms of consignment. Regarding the consignment items, the price sold by the trust store is also determined by negotiation between the two parties, and the store has no right to change it privately.

When an item is sold, the store charges a fee. If it is not sold, the original owner can take it back intact without paying any fees. When someone buys the consigned item, the trust store will notify the customer to pick it up and they will deduct the corresponding fee from it.

As for the reason for selling things in trust stores?

Some were short of money and wanted to exchange for some cash; some had families sent to the cadre school and had no way to deal with their belongings; some had their belongings confiscated during house searches; and some wanted to keep up with the fashion trends in order to get married, so they took their old furniture to the trust store and sold it for a small amount of money... In short, where there are sellers, there are buyers, and there are quite a few people visiting the trust store these days.

The Trust Store was a two-story building. It was a bit dim inside, even in the daytime, when the lights were on. The smell inside was a bit strange, like the musty odor of a woolen coat and the smell of a clock.

After entering the door, there are two glass counters in front of you. There is a passage on the left. There is a small door inside the passage with a half white curtain hanging on it. Next to the passage is a large glass cabinet with various commissioned goods on display.

Unlike the salespeople at department stores who always look up to you, the old comrades at the trust store wear round-framed glasses and speak in a friendly manner.

"Comrade, is there anything you need?"

"Hello, I'd like to see my watch."

The old comrade raised his left hand and said, "Go this way. It's the first counter upstairs."

"OK, thanks."

Wang Yiming went up to the second floor along the wooden stairs, and sure enough, the first counter was a watch display stand.

"Hello, let me check my watch."

Upstairs was another old comrade, and his attitude was still kind. "Take a look, and I'll give you whichever one you like."

Inside the watch counter, various men's and women's watches were neatly arranged in three rows. Wang Yiming immediately took a fancy to one of the watches in the middle and pointed at it, "This one?"

The old comrade took out the watch and introduced it, "This is a vintage Omega watch, equipped with the in-house 620 manual movement, and the case is printed with a 20-micron gold-plated logo. Whether it is collected or worn, it is very suitable. The original owner has preserved it very well."

Wang Yiming looked at the watch, which was 8% new, and tried to hide his excitement. "How much is this watch?"

“130 yuan, worth it.”

"Um, put it aside for now. Can you show me the one next to it?"

In the middle position, this watch is the most expensive no matter how you look at it.

"Okay, this one is a Patek Philippe. It has a small three-hand gold dial and the famous 27-460M movement inside. It comes on a brown alligator leather strap with a gold buckle."

"Hearing you say that, I know this one is more expensive."

"Yes, this Patek Philippe, priced at 165 yuan."

An 8% new Omega and a 9% new Patek Philippe, neither of which required a ticket. Wang Yiming looked at them left and right, and couldn't bear to part with either one. He knew that money should be spent wisely, but it hurt to him to feel like a blunt knife was cutting his flesh.

At this moment, the watch seemed to be calling him, come quickly, I am the blade.

Struggling...

Old comrade, this time he said something even more lethal, "Why don't you try them on and see which one is more suitable."

Which one fits? They both fit, except for his wrist and his wallet.

However, Wang Yiming still agreed and tried it on. After putting it on, he felt completely confused.

"Please prepare it. I want both of them."

"...Okay, please wait."

In fact, it is not "important" whether to buy or not. Their main point is that no matter how many times you ask, you will never get tired of taking it. But today, unexpectedly, the young man who came to see the watch directly bought two pieces.

The total amount was 295 yuan, and nearly half of his "youth loss fee" was directly spent. This was what it meant to be in pain and happy.

He was reluctant to take such a good watch out, so he set his sights on a watch with a defect on the edge of the strap and some paint peeling off, but the dial also looked good.

"How much is this?"

"36 yuan, a Jaeger-LeCoultre watch."

This time there was no extra sales pitch: "I want this one too."

"Ok."

The old comrade packed the things and handed them to him. The two parties exchanged money and received the goods. Wang Yiming put the 35-yuan Jaeger-LeCoultre watch directly on his wrist. The two "expensive" watches were transferred into the space when they were packed.

There is still 469 yuan left in the "youth loss compensation".

After today's bargain, Wang Yiming plans to take some time to visit the Donghuamen Trust Store. He also wants to sleep on a step-out bed one day in the future. He is not picky about the wood, nanmu, rosewood, and huanghuali are all fine, as they all smell so good.

----------

At this moment, it was almost time to get off work at the steel plant. Wang Yiming transported some vegetables out of the space and rode his beloved "little motorcycle" to pick up his uncle and aunt after get off work.

He is the good nephew of his uncle and aunt.

An Chong and Cui Jinhua had always been thinking about buying a watch ticket for their eldest nephew. Of course, they had to buy a Shanghai brand watch, but they didn't expect that the child bought it himself.

He also comforted her, "Xiao Ming, you wear this one first. I'll buy you a new one after I get the watch ticket."

"No, uncle, I just like this one. It's a Swiss watch."

“Switzerland is not as good as Shanghai.”

"Yeah, yeah, uncle, let's go home."

Wang Yiming quickly changed the subject. He really didn't think the Shanghai watch was good. He just liked the one he was wearing on his wrist, especially the two hidden pieces in the space.

Wang Yiming pushed the cart and followed his uncle and aunt, and the family of three walked home.

“How much did it cost?”

"Twenty dollars."

"It's not bad, it's not expensive. Your aunt will reimburse you later. When you become a regular employee, I'll try to get a Shanghai brand car."

"Aunt, I already have a watch. Why don't you try to get me a sewing machine when I get a permanent job?"

"What? Do you want to get married?"

"No, our family can make our own clothes."

"My aunt wouldn't do that."

"I can do it."

Wang Yiming wanted to pat his chest and assure himself that he could do it.

"What kind of clothes does a young man need? Wait until you want to get married before buying them."

"Aunt, then our family may not be able to buy it."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Stop talking nonsense. How can you not get married?"

Cui Jinhua took action for the first time, raised it high, put it down gently, and patted her nephew.

"Hey, aunt, let's have scrambled eggs with chili peppers tonight."

"it is good."

The family of three gradually walked away...
