Everything Has a Price

The customer photographed a fake on my counter and asked for three million. I looked up at the painting, and there were three lines of words floating on it—— Transaction price: zero. The price of conscience: his daughter's life. Liquidation price: three seven dollars. I said: three dollars and seven. He broke down the door and left. That night, he came back on his knees. I am the third-generation manager of Mingde Pawn Shop. The shop has been mortgaged for 1.2 Million, and the debt is due in 11 days. The employee is a blind black cat. But since those eyes opened, everything in this world has a price in my eyes: transaction price, conscience price, and liquidation price. The old fox in the antique shop, the boss of the listed company, and those people who clearly died three days ago but are still walking on the street—— They were lining up to come to my door, begging me to take their stuff. I can buy anything, and I can change anyone's life. It's just that every time I make a move, my own liquidation price is deducted. Three years ago, my father locked a pawn ticket into the cabinet with his own hands. The prices of the items on that ticket are increasing every day.
