Official Wizards
Chapter 234 The First Pawnshop
Of course Yang Ding would not think that Liu Ping would be involved. For Liu Ping, this matter was really not a big deal. He wanted to take bribes, and he didn't like this little money.
However, this matter turns out to be a common phenomenon, so it is very difficult to rectify it, and the law does not hold everyone accountable.
Just like what Liao Peicheng said in Yanzhou, many things are really beyond their control. Some leaders can manage their own hands and stay out of the mud, which is very valuable.
Yang Ding had something different in mind. He was single and had no relatives. He could eat enough for one person and the whole family would not be hungry. He dared to stir up a hornet's nest that others didn't dare to poke.
Unfortunately, my power is limited, and there are some areas that I cannot intervene in.
At this moment, the private room door was pushed open, and a strong voice sounded, "Sorry, I took a call outside and kept you waiting for so long."
Hearing this voice, Yang Ding could imagine the calm character and serious expression of Liu Ping's friend.
Yang Ding turned around, why was it him?
Liu Ping saw the weird look in Yang Ding's eyes, "What's wrong, let me introduce you, Yang Ding, this is my friend, Su Jianghe, you can just call him Mr. Su, Jianghe, this is my nephew, Yang Ding, "
"Hello Yang Ding, I heard from your uncle that you are already the main leader of the township at a young age, which is not bad,"
Su Jianghe, this is the person who scratched the right side of Tian Xiaojie's face.
Of course Yang Ding was surprised when he saw it. He didn't expect that he would be Liu Ping's friend. Su Jianghe was a drug dealer. Yang Ding's favorable impression of Liu Ping began to decline at this time.
Su Jianghe is a big drug dealer, and Liu Ping is the police chief of Denghe City. Yang Ding's mind is very confused at this time. He really didn't expect that he and Su Jianghe would meet so quickly on such an occasion.
Yang Ding could not show hostility. Only by understanding the enemy can he find out the enemy's weaknesses. He said, "Hello, Mr. Su. Compared with you guys who are doing big business, my little official is nothing. Mr. Su." Please take a seat,"
After Su Jianghe sat down, he rolled up his sleeves and said, "I went to Thailand not long ago and looked at how tanned I was. Yang Ding, let me tell you, your uncle knows that I was never so tan before, haha."
How could Yang Ding know what color Su Jianghe's skin was before? "Mr. Su, it's nice to have darker skin. He looks strong and mature. By the way, Mr. Su, what do you mean?"
"Oh, I didn't even give you my business card when I came in. Come on, I'll cheat on you too, haha,"
Su Jianghe took out his business card, and Yang Ding took it with both hands.
This ** person doesn't know what kind of identity he uses to disguise himself, but since he dares to give himself his business card, he must have some business in the industry.
Yang Ding looked at the general manager of the No. 1 Pawn Shop in Denghe City. Humph, he really knew how to find a bright identity to cover up. But even the owner of the small restaurant that day knew that Su Jianghe was a gangster on the road. He was just a business card. Really? Can you turn black into white?
Yang Ding smiled and said, "Mr. Su, I don't know much about the pawnshop business. I don't know how you make money."
When they talked about the pawnshop, Su Jianghe's interest was very high, "Yang Ding, this pawnshop is famous. If you do it well, you will definitely make money without losing money, and the profit will be doubled. If you don't do it well, you will lose everything." Haha, Liu Ping, ask the waiter to serve the wine, and let’s chat while drinking,”
"OK,"
Liu Ping called the waiter and approved it with a strong attitude. There were only a few cold dishes. Wine and hot dishes started to be passed around immediately. Everyone was here, but there was no response. The service quality was really low.
Pawnshops first originated in the Northern and Southern Dynasties and were one of the contributions of Buddhist temples. People who were temporarily short of money could exchange items for silver.
However, the function of pawnshops was soon improved by some unscrupulous people and became a tool for making money.
"Yang Ding, the ancient underworld saw this opportunity and found people who were in urgent need of money. They could mortgage anything, whether it was real estate, fertile land and houses, or movable chickens, ducks, cows, or pigs. When these people paid When they come to redeem their pawns, both movable and immovable properties will be returned to them, but very high interest will be charged."
Su Jianghe spoke very seriously, and Yang Ding had already begun to wonder, did Su Jianghe really run a pawn shop? How could he be so familiar with the history of the pawn shop? People who didn't do research would definitely not tell these things.
Yang Ding said, "Mr. Su, I understand when you put it this way. In fact, pawnshops are now underground organizations that lend usury, right?"
Su Jianghe smiled and said, "Yang Ding, you can understand that the pawnshops of the past were similar to the loan sharks of today, but the pawnshops of today are different. We have obtained a business license and we are operating legally."
Yang Ding shook his head, looking puzzled.
"Mr. Su, I've actually seen pawnshops on the street a few times, but they were always closed. I don't know what they look like inside. Why aren't they open for business?"
The waiter brought the hot dishes, and after Yang Ding finished speaking, he stood up and poured wine for the two of them.
Liu Ping also has a certain understanding of pawnshops and said, "Many pawnshops now are just like in ancient times, with high thresholds and high counters. In fact, they are always open, or can be said to be open 24 hours a day."
Now that pawnshops have obtained business licenses, they are of course fundamentally different from the open loan sharking of the past.
There are people inside the pawn shop at night. As long as you knock on the door, someone will open the door for you.
Yang Ding's mind immediately showed an old man holding a lantern, opening the door and moving the light to his face to examine carefully.
There were only three people in the private room, and the topic of conversation felt very depressing. Yang Ding had a creepy feeling in his heart, why did the pawn shop sound more and more sinister.
Yang Ding immediately changed the topic, "Mr. Su, your pawn shop is neither a gangster nor a legal operation. How do you make money?"
Su Jianghe did not regard Yang Ding as an outsider, but as a junior of his friend, that is, his junior.
Su Jianghe told Yang Ding that the current way for pawnshops to make money is still through mortgages, but the collateral is very special. If banks don't dare to use it as collateral, pawnshops do.
Yang Ding was a little confused. If he thought about it according to Su Jianghe's intention, wouldn't it be similar to a financial company or a guarantee company? They were all illegal institutions cloaked in legal guise.
Su Jianghe said, "Yang Ding, didn't I just say that a pawn shop can make a huge profit, but if it fails, it will lose everything. In fact, many of the collaterals are not common things. What if they are common houses, cars, gold, and land? Will come to our pawn shop to exchange cash,"
"What kind of items do Mr. Su's pawnshop usually trade?" Yang Ding asked.
"Heirlooms, such as bowls, bracelets, ancient currencies, and stamps, are all uncommon things. I hired three appraisal experts to sit in the counter. They really have a good eye and found a lot of treasures."
Sujianghe's No. 1 Pawn Shop has three stores in Denghe City. Each store has a treasure appraiser. Their task is also very simple. If they find a treasure, for example, this dongding is worth 100,000 yuan, they will pawn it. 20,000 yuan per person, if the person who finally pawns still pays 20,000 yuan, then the baby will be returned at a cost of only 20%. In other words, the first pawn shop will make a profit of 4,000 yuan out of the 20,000 yuan.
Every transaction has a time limit. If the pawnee cannot redeem the money within the agreed time limit, the transaction will be officially completed. The No. 1 Pawn Shop bought something worth 100,000 yuan for 20,000 yuan.
Every item has value, but how to determine its value requires experts who sit in the cabinet to identify it.
Once the person sitting at the counter takes a wrong look, he may encounter a scammer who accepts worthless things and gives the other party a large amount of cash, and then he will definitely lose everything.
Yang Ding finally figured out that the pawnshop run by Su Jianghe was a gambling-like business. As long as you had a good vision, you could make a lot of money.
Yang Ding took the cup and said, "Uncle Qian, Mr. Su, I respect you two and wish you both a promotion and a prosperous business."
When Su Jianghe got up to go to the toilet, Liu Ping whispered, "Yang Ding, Su Jianghe is not a small player in the city. Not only is the legal business of the pawnshop flourishing, but he is also very popular on the street. If we meet him in the future, If you have any troubles that are not convenient to show up to solve, you can come to him,"
Yang Ding had a lot of things to ask in his heart, whether Liu Ping was using Su Jianghe to do something, or whether he was really friends with him.
Yang Ding said from the side, "Uncle Qian, Mr. Su is a person on the right path, so how could you..."
Liu Ping laughed and said, "Yang Ding, people like this can help us do a lot of things that we can't do. They are worth paying attention to. As for what kind of ending he will have in the end, I can't control it. Su Jianghe's reputation is very wide." ,"
Yang Ding thought for a while, and now he has another clue. Who instigated Su Jianghe to deal with Tian Xiaojie? He can also find clues from that person. If he and Xie Qixin go together at the same time, he can lock the target more accurately.
Su Jianghe came in from outside, and Yang Ding said, "Mr. Su, let's leave each other's numbers. I'm very interested in your No. 1 pawn shop. I will definitely come and take a look when I have time."
"Okay, you are welcome at any time, but I am usually not in the store. You can contact me two or three days in advance and I will accompany you then."
It seems that for Liu Ping's sake, Su Jianghe agreed.
After drinking again, Yang Ding found a substitute driver. It was safer to return the Mercedes Benz to Fengtai County.
On the way, he contacted Sun Hou. Yang Ding had already given Sun Hou five days and did not call to inquire on the third day. Because Sun Hou did not reply to him within three days, it meant that he had not found out about the batch of medicines.
"Sun Houhou, it's been five days. You, the number one person in Fengtai County, are not very efficient."
Sun Hou also regretted the day he boasted about Haikou. The matter was more troublesome than he imagined, but luckily, he got some news.
"Brother Yang, I haven't found where that batch of drugs is now, but I heard that someone may be related to this matter. Brother Yang, I think the matter is difficult to handle. It will be difficult to get the words out of that person's mouth. "
Yang Ding asked, "Who is that person?"
"The most powerful figure in Denghe City, Pan Zuo,"
