When the manager of the pawnshop saw Ye Feng and Shen Baitian enter, he immediately abandoned the woman and went up to them.
“Do you want to pawn or redeem?” The manager’s eyes darted around the two of them as if he were guessing their net worth.
Pawnshops like this would not only pawn items, but also sell expired items that no one could redeem. It could be considered half an antique shop.
Ye Feng waved his hand casually. “We are just looking around.”
As he spoke, he pretended to casually pick up the antiques on the shelf and admire them.
Seeing this, the manager could only walk back to the woman. “Miss Oda, what do you want to pawn this time?”
Ye Feng was paying attention to the situation over there. From the manager’s words, he could tell that this was not the first time this woman came to pawn things.
That Oda-san glanced at Ye Feng warily. She hesitated for a moment before taking out the cloth bag in her hand. “This time, it’s a stamp.”
The manager took the bag and opened it layer by layer.
It was obvious that this woman attached great importance to this stamp. She had wrapped it up in six or seven layers.
When he opened the last layer, there was an exquisite small wooden box inside. The wooden box was made of golden nanmu wood, and the carvings on it were very exquisite. It was obvious that it was made by a top-notch craftsman.
However, looking at the carvings on the wooden box, it was not the craftsmanship of Japan. It seemed to be the work of Chinese craftsmen.
The manager calmly opened the box and saw a stamp inside.
The stamp had a red background, and the words Qing Post’ and ‘Dang Yi Yuan’ were written in Chinese characters.
The moment the manager opened the box, Ye Feng had already activated the system’s in-depth scan. A large amount of information appeared in his mind.
[A Qing Dynasty I-yuan stamp, verified as authentic. The red stamp was not stamped on the original ticket. It was printed by the Qing Dynasty customs in 1896 by the Eagle Country’s Wudu Huade Road Company. Only 50 were
printed. and there are only left in the world… System valuation: 5 million
Chinese yuan! ]
When he saw this message, he was somewhat surprised.
It wasn’t because of the value of the stamp. With his current perspective, even if it was worth 50 million, he wouldn’t be too surprised, let alone a stamp worth 5 million.
He was just surprised that such a precious Chinese stamp would fall into the hands of an island woman.
Unlike his surprise, the manager looked disappointed when he saw the stamp. “Miss Oda, the value of the things you brought this time is far less than before.’
When Miss Oda heard this, her pale face instantly turned red. “We’ve pawned most of the valuable things at home. We only have this stamp left. Please give us a price.”
The manager put down the stamp with a lack of interest. “We Japanese people aren’t very enthusiastic about these antiques. Moreover, it’s a Chinese stamp, so there’s no market for it. I really can’t give you a price. Why don’t you ask elsewhere?”
When Oda-san heard that he refused to accept the money, she immediately showed a pleading expression. “Manager Ishigaki, please help me. I really need a sum of money now.”
“Give me a price. I only believe you now…”
Manager Ishigaki leaned back in his chair and took a sip of tea. After a long while, he put it down. “If it was someone else, I definitely wouldn’t accept it. But Miss Oda and I are old friends. Just take it as helping you.”
Miss Oda immediately beamed with joy and thanked him repeatedly, as if she had taken advantage of him.
Ye Feng rolled his eyes at the side. This Manager Ishigaki really knew how to do business. He was here to give her money, but after a few words, she actually owed him a favor.
Ishigaki picked up the stamp and looked at it again. He thought for a moment and said, “l can only give you 5 million Japanese dollars for this stamp. The deposit period is still one month. If you don’t redeem it after one month, I’ll deal with it myself.”
5 million Japanese dollars was equivalent to about 270,000 Chinese yuan.
If Ye Feng did not know the true value of this stamp, he might be surprised. After all, it was very rare for a stamp to be worth more than 200,000 Chinese yuan.
However, he already knew the true value of this stamp. That was a different state of mind.
Either Ishigaki did not see the true value of this stamp, or he was too black-hearted.
When Miss Oda heard this price, she was somewhat disappointed. “Manager
Ishigaki, can’t you give me more? This price…”
Ishigaki shrugged. “I’m sorry, Oda-san. I’m already taking a huge risk by offering you this price. Perhaps the Chinese might be interested in this kind of thing. Why don’t you go and look for them?”
Seeing his firm attitude, Oda-san fell silent. After a long while, she said, “l don’t trust the Chinese. I only trust you.”
“Since you said it’s only worth this much, then so be it.”
Only then did Ishigaki smile. “Then I’ll get someone to issue a receipt. According to the previous rules, as long as you can gather enough money within a month, 1 promise to return it to its original owner.”
Oda-san smiled bitterly. “You know my situation. How can I redeem it?”
Manager Ishigaki smiled and didn’t reply. He was about to issue the bill. Ye Feng suddenly said: “Wait a minute, can I take a look at this stamp?”
Manager Ishigaki and Miss Oda looked over suspiciously, including Shen Baitian, who was also confused. She did not know what he was going to do.
Ye Feng walked over under their confused gazes. “l am Chinese, I like to collect stamps. Can you let me take a look?”
Miss Oda was a little embarrassed. She had just said that she didn’t believe in Chinese people, but she didn’t expect a Chinese person to stand beside her. Wasn’t she pointing at the monk and scolding him?
Although Manager Ishigaki was very dissatisfied with this Chinese person who had jumped out to stop him, he could not say anything in front of Miss Oda. He could only put down the stamp reluctantly. “Take a look.”
Ye Feng picked it up and pretended to look at it before nodding. “l like this stamp very much. Can you sell it to me?”
Oda-san’s eyes lit up.. “You… How much can you pay?”
