Chapter 588: Broken leather can be sold at sky-high prices
The two women stood under the eaves and talked. The black dragon who was staying in the black tiger's kennel came close to them, turned around and sat down with his butt against the upper part of Zhao Jun's shoe. Then he tilted his head, raised his right hind leg, and scratched continuously.
I touched my ears several times.
Seeing Zhao Jun lowering his head, Wang Meilan thought he was looking at the puppy, so she immediately pulled Zhao Jun's arm and said anxiously: "Stop looking at the dog, mom is talking to you."
Zhao Jun raised his head and looked at Wang Meilan helplessly. He didn't know what to say at this time.
In the past, Zhao Jun had always believed that Zhang Yuanmin was suitable for deception and would be able to become a prince by engaging in pyramid schemes. Li Ruhai, on the other hand, was a clear stream and suitable for literary and artistic work.
But what Zhao Jun didn't expect was that he was mistaken. This Li Ruhai was even more evil than Zhang Yuanmin. This part of waiting to get rich was probably made up by Li Ruhai on the spot, but those simple sentences echoed the folk customs and
Tradition, every word reflects the working people’s desire for wealth.
This kind of addiction is extremely lethal to people of this age, otherwise it would not have stewed Wang Meilan in one spoonful.
"Mom." Zhao Jun smiled bitterly and whispered to Wang Meilan: "Don't listen to Ruhai. Someone is taking this. If you can raise the price, we will sell it."
"Sold?" Wang Meilan glared, dragging Zhao Jun and said, "Why do I think (jiǎo) what Ruhai said is pretty good?"
"What's so good?" Zhao Jun glanced back, then turned to Wang Meilan and said, "Mom, hurry up and get it for him."
"Okay." Wang Meilan agreed reluctantly, passed by Zhao Jun, entered the house and went straight to the east room.
Zhao Jun, on the other hand, returned to the west room and smiled at Zheng Xuekun and said: "Master Zheng, wait a moment, my mother has gone to get (qiu) for you."
Then, Zhao Jun raised his hand and asked: "Is there still water in the tank? No, I will give you some more."
"Yes, yes." Zheng Xuekun opened the lid of the tea jar, picked it up and took a sip of tea. When he put it down, Wang Meilan came in with a leopard skin.
Zhao Jun came back to pick it up, but after he grabbed the leopard skin, Wang Meilan did not let go immediately. It was not until Zhao Jun winked at her twice that Wang Meilan gave the leopard skin to Zhao Jun.

Then, Wang Meilan turned around and went out.
"Master Zheng." Zhao Jun handed the leopard skin to Zheng Xuekun. Zheng Xuekun reached out and took it. Zheng Donghai hurriedly stretched out his hand, and they opened the leopard skin together.
"Oops!" After listening to Li Ruhai's words, when Zheng Xuekun looked at the leopard skin again, his eyes were different. He rubbed it with his hands and asked Zhao Jun, "Xiao Zhao, this skin costs three thousand dollars. I want it."
”
Zhao Jun heard this and was about to speak when he heard Wang Meilan say from behind: "Three thousand, we won't sell it!"
"Huh?" Everyone was stunned. Zheng Xuekun looked up at Wang Meilan, but before he and Wang Meilan could ask the price, they were shocked by Wang Meilan's dress.
Wang Meilan was dressed very ordinary, with a dark blue shirt on her upper body. Some parts of the shirt were washed and turned white.
But Wang Meilan wears a gold necklace around her neck. This gold necklace is unusual. Others tuck the gold necklace into their clothes, but Wang Meilan puts the gold necklace on the outside of her clothes.
In addition to the gold necklace, Wang Meilan also wore gold earrings on her ears. Looking down, she saw her sleeves rolled up and a large gold bracelet on her wrist.
As for the golden hairpin, it was not very conspicuous when worn on the finger, and Zheng Xuekun did not notice it.
But just this startled him.
Even though Zheng Xuekun can buy more than 10,000 yuan of bear bile, that is the money to buy the goods. He uses the money to do business, money begets money, and he continues to expand his business. But Zheng Xuekun is reluctant to buy gold jewelry.<
/p>
In front of the bejeweled Wang Meilan, Zheng Xuekun's momentum instantly weakened and he asked Wang Meilan: "Sister, what price do you think is suitable?"
"This..." Zheng Xuekun's question really confused Wang Meilan, but she told the truth: "This leather... I don't really want to sell it."
"Huh?" Zheng Xuekun heard this and looked at Wang Meilan. After observing Wang Meilan's expression and recalling her behavior just now, Zheng Xuekun concluded in his heart that the widow was not raising the price, but that she really didn't want to sell.
Seeing Wang Meilan's jewelry, Zheng Xuekun felt discouraged. He couldn't afford such a family with the little money he had in his pocket!
Thinking of this, Zheng Xuekun raised his arm slightly, pushed away Zheng Donghai's hand holding the leopard skin, and then prepared to roll up the leopard skin so as to return it to Wang Meilan.
But at this moment, Zhang Yuanmin saw Zhao Jun wink at him, and he immediately thought that Wang Meilan's statement of not selling it just now was a ploy between her and Zhao Jun's mother, who wanted to take the opportunity to raise the price.
Seeing Zheng Xuekun's current actions, Zhang Yuanmin quickly spoke and said to Zheng Xuekun: "Master Zheng, if you want to go to Guanli to sell a piece of leather like this, you have to sell it for 40,000 to 50,000 yuan, right?"
Hearing Zhang Yuanmin's words, Zheng Xuekun stopped moving his hands. He looked up at Zhang Yuanmin and couldn't help but laugh.
"Heh." Then, Zheng Xuekun quickened his hand movements, quickly rolled up the leopard skin, and handed it to Wang Meilan and said: "Big sister."
Wang Meilan stepped forward in two steps and quickly took the leopard skin. When she reached out to grab the leather roll, the gold barb on her finger naturally shook Zheng Xuekun's eyes.
At this time, Zheng Xuekun had a thought in his mind: This widow is really rich!
Wang Meilan took the leopard skin and turned around to go to the east room. At this time, Zheng Xuekun took the cigarette from Zhang Yuanmin, lit it and took a puff, then Zheng Xuekun said to Zhang Yuanmin: "Brother, what kind of skin can sell for 40,000 to 50,000 yuan?"
Now? Tiger skin isn’t that valuable, right?”
"Can tiger skin be so valuable?" Zhang Yuanmin asked with a smile, and then stated to Zheng Xuekun: "This is the skin of a leopard. Don't you all have to pay attention to good omens when doing business?"
"That's true." Zheng Xuekun first agreed, and then said, "That's not worth that much money, is it?"
"Haha..." Hearing Zheng Xuekun's words, Zhang Yuanmin laughed. He pinched Zheng Xuekun with his eyes, his expression seemed to be a little contemptuous, and he muttered: "Then you have to see who buys it."
"Huh?" Zheng Xuekun was stunned by Zhang Yuanmin's smile. He could see that Zhang Yuanmin's attitude was a bit wrong, and immediately frowned and asked: "Brother, what do you mean?"
"What do you mean? Haha..." Zhang Yuanmin smiled and flicked the ashtray into the ashtray made of cans, and then said: "Master Zheng takes this leather for the same price. Do you want to change it to a rich boss?"
Isn’t it the same price?”
At this point, Zhang Yuanmin saw Zheng Xuekun stunned, and then said: "We just have no way. We have to go to Guanli and find a rich owner. With such a good skin and such a good omen, the big boss won't give him four
Fifty thousand?"
As soon as Zhang Yuanmin said these words, Zheng Xuekun was stunned. He felt that he saw a beam of light, and it was shining golden light, but it was getting farther and farther away from him!
Thinking back to what the kid said to the man with the wheel just now, Zheng Xuekun suddenly realized an opportunity to make a fortune!
He thought that Zhang Yuanmin was right. If he took the leopard skin back to Guanli, or even took it to the capital, found a rich owner, and told the kid to sit back and wait to get rich, Zheng Xuekun didn't believe that those big bosses could do it.
Live.
Even though it has only been open for a few years, there are still big bosses in China.
But when Zheng Xuekun thought of his own net worth, and then thought of Wang Meilan's jewels and the row of bear bile in the warehouse, Zheng Xuekun knew that this matter was probably hopeless.
But the businessman was pursuing profit, and he would definitely not be willing to let Zheng Xuekun leave like this, so he turned back and looked towards Wang Meilan.
At this time, Wang Meilan had just come back. She did not sit down when she entered the house, but stood at the door. She saw her with her right arm slanted in front of her body, her right hand clenched and resting on her stomach, and her left hand resting on her right hand. The big bright gold bracelet
Wearing it on her left wrist.
As soon as he looked at the gold bracelet, Zheng Xuekun felt cold again.
Zheng Xuekun retreated when he saw the difficulty, but his son Zheng Donghai was a little young and energetic. He couldn't help but ask Zhao Jun: "Brother Zhao Jun, we will give you four thousand for the leopard skin, will you sell it?"
As soon as Zheng Donghai said this, Zheng Xuekun raised his elbow and poked his son. In Zheng Xuekun's opinion, adding a thousand yuan is a sky-high price to others, but to the Zhao mother and son, it is not worth mentioning at all.<
/p>
"Ha!" Sure enough, Zhang Yuanmin, who was sitting opposite the father and son, sneered before Zhao Jun even opened his mouth.
Things are really unpredictable. Just now Zheng Xuekun said "he" to Zhang Yuanmin, and now Zhang Yuanmin "he" to the two of them.
Zhang Yuanmin glanced at Zhao Jun secretly and saw that Zhao Jun had no instructions, so he plucked up the courage and put out the cigarette butt before saying to Zheng Xuekun: "Master Zheng, if you sincerely want to buy it, just tell me the real price."
."
When Zheng Xuekun heard this, he thought that if Zhang Yuanmin said it, then he had a way to buy the leopard skin. But he also knew that this Yuanmin was to accompany guests, and I am afraid that words cannot be counted. The two of them had to make the final decision in this house. Thinking of this, Zheng Xuekun turned to find Zhao Jun, because he knew that he couldn't defeat Wang Meilan with this little money, so he might as well find a breakthrough from young people.
"Xiao Zhao." Zheng Xuekun asked Zhao Jun: "What price do you and your mother want for the leopard skin?"
As soon as Zheng Xuekun said this, Wang Meilan next to her immediately became nervous. She walked quickly to Zhao Jun, but heard Zhao Jun say: "Why don't you pay 10,000 yuan?"
Ten thousand!
Everyone was dumbfounded. Only Wang Meilan walked up behind Zhao Jun and put her hand on Zhao Jun's shoulder.
At this time, the bright gold bracelet hung on Zhao Jun's shoulder, which made Zheng Xuekun groan inwardly.
He could tell that the mother didn't want to sell the leopard skin, but the son wanted to exchange the leopard skin for money.
So Zheng Xuekun bit the bullet and said to Zhao Jun: "Xiao Zhao, isn't ten thousand yuan too much?"
"Not much." Zhao Jun said with a smile: "In recent years, logging in the Northeast has become more and more serious. The mountain animals can eat grass, but there are fewer and fewer people eating meat. This leopard skin will be used for the next twenty years."
Without the second one."
"That's right." Zhang Yuanmin echoed from the side and said to Zheng Xuekun: "Master Zheng, what are you thinking about? If you get this piece of leather in Guanli, you can just wait and make money. This is because we are destined.
I'll let you watch, otherwise...heh!"
At the end of the sentence, Zhang Yuanmin rubbed his neck. Although he didn't say everything, his expression said everything.
"Son." At this time, Wang Meilan finally couldn't help it. After listening to Li Ruhai's words, Wang Meilan drew a grand blueprint in her heart. Now, Zhao Jun wants to sell the drawings of this blueprint.
What's the point?
So, Wang Meilan bent down and whispered in Zhao Jun's ear: "Why don't we stop selling it."
Her voice was soft, but Zheng Xuekun was no more than two meters away from his mother and father. After listening to Wang Meilan's words, Zheng Xuekun hurriedly said to Zhao Jun: "Xiao Zhao, we don't have that much money in our pockets anymore."
A while ago, after Zheng Donghai came to Zhao Jun's house to see the bear bile, the two of them hurried back to the customs. Then they didn't even have time to sell all the mountain goods they had collected, so they hurriedly took 20,000 cash out of the customs and went directly to Zhao Jun's house.
Come.
But when he arrived at Zhao Jun today, after Zheng Xuekun saw the row of bear bile, he knew that the 20,000 yuan in his bag was not enough. Since he couldn't round up Zhao Jun's bear bile at once, he would buy a few and exchange them first.
money, and then raise funds.
Now Zheng Xuekun still has more than 8,800 yuan left in his hand, and he plans to collect some mushrooms, autumn ears, and buy some skins.
But now, the appearance of this leopard skin disrupted all Zheng Xuekun's plans. But he still insisted on not letting it go, saying: "Xiao Zhao, five thousand yuan! I'll give you five thousand yuan."
, you let me take the leather away."
When Zhao Jun heard this, he shook his head slightly with a smile. Zhao Jun was not sure how much the leopard skin could be sold for. After all, this thing hadn't been sold for many years. As Zhang Yuanmin said, it might be the only price in the world.
This leopard skin is the same for ten thousand and one hundred thousand.
But looking at Zheng Xuekun's attitude, Zhao Jun felt that the price could be higher. He was confident in this aspect. In his previous life, he worked for ginseng in the Far East and handled much more money than this. Zhao Jun's bargaining ability was also obtained through ginseng dealers in the two countries.
Approved.
Furthermore, for this leopard skin, two of Yongan’s four great skills have been demonstrated. How can a mere five thousand yuan be enough?
Seeing Zhao Jun shaking his head, Zheng Xuekun gritted his teeth and said, "Xiao Zhao, what about five thousand and five?"
This old boy is very naughty. He is afraid that the price increase will be too much, so he increases it little by little.
Zhao Jun still shook his head with a smile. He glanced at Zheng Xuekun's canvas pocket and said with a smile: "Master Zheng, I will give you one thousand yuan. Nine thousand, if you can take it, you can take it."
Zheng Xuekun was startled. The price Zhao Jun asked for was based on the amount of money in his pocket.
Not speaking secretly in front of Mingren, Zheng Xuekun smiled bitterly and said to Zhao Jun: "Xiao Zhao, you are too cruel. Why do you have to leave some travel expenses for us two?"
"That's okay." Zhao Jun heard this and said with a smile: "Then eight thousand and nine, and I will give you another hundred to Master Zheng."
"Eight thousand and eight." Zheng Xuekun said even more: "Eight thousand and eight is auspicious!"
After finishing speaking, seeing Zhao Jun hesitate, Zheng Xuekun continued: "Xiao Zhao, eight thousand eight, I want the leopard skin!"
"Dad." At this time, Zheng Donghai couldn't bear it any longer. He pulled Zheng Xuekun beside him and whispered: "Don't we have to collect some gray skin?"
Zheng Xuekun frowned and shook his head. He dared to spend 8,800 yuan to buy a leopard skin, and he must have a plan in mind. He had been hanging around in the pass for so many years, but he could still meet a few rich people. When the time came, he would take this skin and give it to those rich people.
Let go, and then put down a few words that the child said.
Not to mention too much, Zheng Xuekun feels that he can earn a million dollars.
"Okay." Zhao Jun suddenly decided and said to Zheng Xuekun: "Master Zheng, please take the money and I will ask my mother to peel the skin for you."
"Hey!" Hearing this, Zheng Xuekun grabbed the canvas bag, pulled the zipper, poured out all the money inside, and then placed piles of money on the edge of the kang.
Everyone looked at the money with envy, but Wang Meilan reluctantly went to the east room.
Zheng Xuekun spent a total of 11,180 yuan on bear bile and badger skin.
But at that time, he took out eleven stacks of unity from his canvas pocket, and the remaining one hundred and eighty yuan was taken out by Zheng Xuekun from his clothes pocket.
At this time, nine wads of money fell out of the canvas pocket, which should be nine thousand yuan. Zheng Xuekun opened a wad, counted out twenty bills and put them into his pocket, and then placed the rest on the edge of the kang.
After Zheng Xuekun finished counting the money, Wang Meilan came back with the leopard skin.
But in addition to the leopard skin, Wang Meilan also took three leather scrolls, all of which were gray skins that Zhao Jun and the others had killed from hunting squirrels.
Wang Meilan came in and said to Zheng Xuekun: "Master Zheng, I heard your son just said that you still want to collect gray skins?"
