Chapter 56 Omega and Breguet
It was probably the first time Chu Cheng came here, looking here and there like a headless fly.
There are people selling clothes, hats, and used leather shoes.
The most outrageous thing was that Du Fei actually found a pair of flesh-colored nylon stockings among them!
This really sells everything.
Du Fei saw that the toes of the pair of silk stockings were all black, and he didn't know which eldest sister had worn them on her feet.
Chu Cheng walked around a lot, but couldn't find anyone selling radios. It wasn't until Du Fei pointed to the stairs that he realized that there was one upstairs.
As Chu Cheng went up the stairs, he chuckled, "Um... I didn't expect this trust store to be quite big, huh?"
Du Fei smiled and said nothing. He went up to the second floor and took a look at the cultural relics shop.
At a glance, Chu Cheng saw the counter with a radio next to the stairs.
That's what he came for, and he immediately went up to ask for the price.
Today, the waiter at the trust store was obviously more energetic than usual and spoke more enthusiastically.
Du Fei estimated that there might be some inspection by a leader or something.
He didn't follow Chu Cheng to see the radio. After his original radio was repaired, it was working well.
He walked straight past the radio counter and the place where sewing machines were placed, and came to the watch counter.
Under the glass of the counter are dozens of watches of various brands, quality, old and new.
There are domestic brands such as Shanghai and Seagull, as well as Swiss brands such as Tissot, Rolex and Omega.
As expected by Du Fei, the few Swiss watches on the counter could be described as miserable.
After Du Fei inquired, the spirited young man selling the goods answered very firmly that none of the Swiss watches on the counter could be taken away. If you buy them back with money, they are just decorations.
However, Du Fei has something to rely on. There is still a lot of blue light in the portable space, which can be used to repair the watch.
In addition, he saw that these watches were quite old, and they might be able to absorb blue light like the snuff bottle.
Having made up his mind, Du Fei carefully observed the watches on the counter and suddenly found a very old looking Omega.
Even with Du Fei's eyes, this watch still looks very nice.
Unfortunately, the watch has a large amount of wear and tear and cannot keep time properly.
Du Fei didn't know much about watches, so he couldn't tell which year this watch was produced.
As for the salesperson standing behind the counter, Monk Zhang Er was even more confused.
Du Fei asked him, and he could only barely tell which of the watches on the counter were domestic, which were Swiss, and which were Soviet.
Du Fei didn't think about that at all. He pointed at the Omega and asked, "Comrade, how much does this watch cost?"
The salesperson was quite honest. When he saw what Du Fei was pointing to, he reached out to take it and said with a frown, "Comrade, the ones here are all bad, but the needle can't move, so it's useless for you to buy them back."
"Thank you for reminding me." Du Fei lied, "My old man doesn't like this."
When the salesperson heard this, he didn't say anything more and put the watch on the glass of the counter. "Well, think about it. Although this watch is broken, it still costs 25 yuan. The seller said there is some kind of sapphire inlaid in it. Anyway, I don't know. I don’t understand, this is the lowest price.”
Du Fei didn't even think about counter-offering, he simply nodded, issued the invoice, went to pay the money, and then pocketed the watch.
When putting it in his pocket, follow his thoughts and put it into the space.
really! The moment this Omega watch entered the pocket space, the racing blue light immediately started to tremble.
Wisps of blue began to appear on the surface of the watch.
light.
When Du Fei saw this, his eyes lit up!
This Omega watch from an unknown age can indeed suck out blue light like a snuff bottle.
And looking at the meaning, it contains more blue light than that snuff bottle!
Just a moment later, the blue light in the space doubled, and the blue light contained in the watch continued to flow.
This made Du Fei overjoyed. Looking at the badly damaged watches on the counter, it was like he had discovered a big gold mine!
He remained calm, pointed to another more severely damaged Breguet watch set with diamonds, and asked how much it cost.
The salesman raised his head and glanced at Du Fei, as if he was trying to see what the fool looked like. "Comrade, this is precious. This dial is set with diamonds, and it costs seventy-five yuan."
This Breguet is more seriously damaged, with severe rust on the case and not only scratches on the cover, but also a crack.
Du Fei suspected that this watch was probably thrown by a senior enemy official on the battlefield and picked up by someone.
Seventy-five yuan was a little expensive, but he didn't hesitate and immediately issued the invoice and paid.
At this time, all the blue light from the Omega had been sucked out.
The blue light in the space expanded nearly three times!
This makes Du Fei have greater expectations for this Breguet watch.
Just at this moment, Chu Cheng had finished his work. This guy came over with a radio in his arms and complained, "I said, Lao Du, what are you doing? As soon as you turned around, the person disappeared?" As he spoke, he came to the front and looked towards The counter in front of Du Fei "Want to buy a watch?"
Du Fei smiled and nodded, took the ticket and went to pay.
But before he could come back, he heard Chu Cheng exclaim, "What! Just 75 yuan for this piece of shit?"
The salesperson selling watches was holding back his anger and had to explain patiently.
Normally, he would have scolded her, but not today.
According to rumors, the leaders of the Commercial Bureau above will conduct surprise inspections from time to time on Sundays.
It is better to believe that this kind of thing exists than to believe that it does not exist.
If you are unlucky enough to be inspected by the leader, don't make yourself uncomfortable. Anyway, there is only one day a week.
At this time, Du Fei came back and handed over the payment slip with a red stamp on it with a smile.
Chu Cheng saw that the matter was done and stopped making trouble, but he was suspicious.
Du Fei did not explain, looked at the radio he was holding and said, "It's bought, so let's go?"
Chu Cheng was full of questions, and he couldn't help asking when he went down the stairs, "Old Du, what are you talking about? I spent dozens of dollars to buy a broken watch that doesn't work."
Du Fei curled his lips and said, "Look at your ignorant look! What is a broken watch? This is Breguet, do you know Napoleon? The French emperor who almost unified Europe wore this. Twenty years later, this broken watch will not be sold even if it is seventy-five plus two zeros."
In fact, Du Fei was also talking nonsense.
He seemed to have heard before he traveled that Breguet was the official watch of the French royal family.
The most famous French emperor was Napoleon, although it was not certain whether there were watches at that time. Chu Cheng didn't know anyway, so he fooled him without hesitation.
As expected, Chu Cheng was stunned by the bluff, with an incredible look on his face, "Just... that broken watch that doesn't work? Seven thousand five! Are you kidding me?"
Du Fei laughed and didn't argue with him anymore, anyway, it was just a casual remark.
The two went down to the first floor and walked out of the trust store.
Chu Cheng lowered his head slightly, not knowing what he was thinking. When he was about to reach the door, he suddenly stopped, raised his head and smiled flatteringly, "Old Du, uh, no, Brother Du, hehe, do you think... that watch will really be worth a lot in a few years?"
