Chapter 1375 A fake pocket watch
It is quite interesting to talk to Fat Ding on the phone. Han Xuan actually heard that it was complaining that the director was too harsh and scolded Bi Chi several times without guessing it. Only the director in the crew would make it so angry. Other crew members were very nice to her.???
After the New Year, Fat Ding went to California, stayed alone in the crew, and it was normal to call and complain.
At first it found it interesting to film. After going home for a while, it was no longer willing to go again. It was forced to send it away by its owner. It was only three minutes hot to do things. It was so comfortable to lie down. Don’t expect the cat to be dedicated.
Han Xuan turned on the TV and watched "Secret Skills of Survival in the Wild" while listening to it. In order to show his existence, he would occasionally say "um" and tell him that he would rush over after two days and then quickly hung up the phone. The chatterbox never stopped actively, and he had long had experience in this.
Hearing the stranger's voice, he looked up and saw his father leading an old man in his fifties and gray-headed man in his arms.
It was obviously the first time that the old man came here, looking at the interior of the room with his eyes, full of envy and amazement.
For ordinary people, everything in the living room is shocking enough. There are several dollars of gold on the shelf. Selling one is enough to make ordinary people have enough food and clothing for a long time, not to mention those antiques that look very valuable. No one would believe that this family uses fake antiques as decorations.
Han Xuan could tell at a glance that this was a craftsman. The old man's hands were full of wrinkles, rough skin, and his leather jacket was already very old. He heard his father say that, and his butt was only halfway and his waist was straight.
Without introducing the article, my father went directly to the small door leading to the basement. There was a vault underneath, which was really a vault with a lot of gold piled up inside.
Han Xuan looked at the old man, helped pour a glass of water in person, and asked him, "Who are you?"
"Hello, my name is David Eaton, the carpenter in Augusta.
I once came to your house to build a cowshed, and my team was responsible for building the wooden house where the pets lived next to me."
The old man seemed a little nervous. When he was talking, he looked at the passage where Mr. Han entered twice. Han Xuan nodded and said, "I have seen it in the cabin next to him. The craftsmanship is pretty good. My pets like it very much, and they won't leak even in winter.
By the way, is there anything I have to do today? Help me repair the wooden door? The door in the attic is loose and there will be a creaking sound when it opens."
The old man smiled and said, "I will help you repair it when I have time, but I don't have time today.
Something happened at home recently, and I didn’t take up the job. If I’m anxious, I can ask my friend to come and help.
The reason I came here was because I sold a watch to your father, Vacheron Constantin gold pocket watch, which I brought back from the Vietnam battlefield.
No one in the town wants to buy it, and it takes time to consign to big cities, and I am anxious to use the money.”
"Oh? How much does he spend? Can you show me?"
It is said that playing watches will get addicted, which will hurt money and energy. Han Xuan is not afraid of being addicted, and can buy whatever he wants. When he was a child, he was a little interested in very cheap antique watches. Now he has too many, and he has no love.
As for my father, he usually doesn’t even wear a watch, let alone a pocket watch. He thought it was a treasure, so he asked to watch it.
The old carpenter replied: "Of course.
Your father was willing to pay me 6,300 dollars. He didn't have enough cash on him and he had to pay taxes when trading with checks, so he came back to withdraw money.
That little money is nothing to you, but to me, it has been a salary of several days."
Han Xuan's lips curled up and joked: "It's better to save some money. Anyway, our Montana has a small population and is not burdened with heavy fiscal expenditure. I will pretend that I don't know..."
He took the gold pocket watch that his father wanted to buy from the old carpenter, and he immediately realized something was wrong.
As an antique watch that has been through a long time, the dial of the Vacheron Constantin pocket watch in my hand is too new and there is no trace of time left. The surface may be gold, but the scratched area reveals black inside.
I haven't heard of any company that uses a gold-plated case, especially the top brand Vacheron Constantin. Even if my dad doesn't understand the watch, he should be able to tell that this is a fake watch. It's not even considered a fine imitation. You will know something is wrong after taking a look.
In this way, the old man's nervous expression made sense. He knew that the watch was wrong, and was worried and guilty.
Just as he was about to speak, my father walked out of the basement with a stack of brand new dark green US dollars, handed it to the old carpenter, and said, "You count, I won't sign a contract with you. If you can, just make a deal?"
When Han Qianshan saw his son holding a pocket watch, he deliberately patted him on the shoulder, and threw a look at him reminding his son in a place where the old man could not see it.
Han Xuan knew it and held it back to his stomach. Without saying much, the old carpenter shook his head repeatedly: "No need to count, thank you.
Then I have something to do, so I will leave first."
"Okay, there is something to do after spring, and you need to do it. Then call you."
Hearing Han Qianshan's words, the old man left as if he was running away
After he left, Han Xuan lay lazily on the sand again, threw his pocket watch at the coffee table at random, and asked his father: "Tell me, why are you spending money to buy fake watches? Why do I feel like you are deliberately giving him money?"
"You are smart, but fortunately you didn't talk too much, otherwise you would be embarrassed.
Last week, his grandson had a life dispute with someone else in a bar and shot and injured the other party's leg. I heard from Patton that if he couldn't afford $70,000 in private settlement, the other party would go to court to sue his grandson.
This old man is quite pitiful. He recently borrowed all his relatives and friends who could borrow. If he hadn't been forced to leave the road, I believe he wouldn't have done such a thing. He had dealt with David before and was a good person.
It's just over 6,000 US dollars. If I didn't use this watch to deceive me, I would lend it to him if I borrowed money from me. After meeting in the afternoon, he said he wanted to sell me the watch, and it was a fake watch. This made it difficult for me to speak, so I could only follow his wishes.
David said that he would be the mortgage and he would redeem it when he had money. Just treat it as if he didn't know it, and don't tell others.
If the news spreads, the old man will be tortured in his heart. He will be ashamed of his dear as Old Patton, and it will be more uncomfortable to be embarrassed than killing them..."
Dad Han was deceived, but his expression was so happy that he waved to Joanna and asked her to put away the fake pocket watch.
For some reason, Han Xuan believed that the old man would one day raise enough money and redeem the watch.
This is Montana, and most of the residents are still very pure. In this place of cowboy spirit, deception makes local residents more disgusted than shooting people.
Han Xuan said, "How many good people are forced to a dead end by their descendants, commonly known as cheating fathers and grandfathers, and even principles can be discarded for future generations.
In fact, it would be better to let his grandson suffer a little. It is obvious that the matter can be solved by moving his fists. It is necessary to use a gun. The nature of these two is too different, so it is okay to sue him for attempted murder."
"Yes, if you encounter this kind of thing one day, don't expect me to raise money to save you."
"You're kidding, right? I want to compete with me who is richer?
If I can’t solve it, then you don’t need to save it. It’s definitely a big case.”
Han Xuan didn't give his father any face. After looking at the time displayed on the watch, he stood up and said, "Said, the prince of the Emirates of Dubai, just gave me a message. He said he had arrived and I'll pick him up at the airport now."
"I didn't say I've come and have fun, I remember hearing you talk about it last year." I had an intersection in the Maldives a few years ago, and my father still remembers the prince.
"I guess something has been delayed. I called me and explained that I wanted to negotiate a business a few days ago. I had been planning to come and have come to play, but I met a group of real estate developers who wanted to go to Dubai to start a business at the airport.
He was trained by his father as his successor, and the competition among several brothers was so strong that he could not have a real rest time.
I guess I came here to find me, and I wanted to negotiate business matters. Traveling is just a by the way. I bought so much land but haven't opened it yet, which may make Prince Said anxious."
Han Xuan put on his coat and drove a Hummer out in person. The roads were covered with ice and snow in winter. This kind of big guy with full power is more convenient than Rolls-Royce and sports cars.
When he arrived at the airport, Prince Said had already got off the plane and waited. A half-blue and half-white Boeing 747 belonged to Emirates Airlines. The prince was wrapped in a white robe and stood in the cold wind and night, straightening his waist and peeing far away.
Turning his head to see Prince Said who is Han Xuan, he is extremely embarrassed at this moment...8
