At around eight o'clock in the morning, three buyers arrived as scheduled. I saw that the woman named Qin Juan looked confident, as if she was determined to win our tower. Wang Ruhai also wanted to try to bid. As for the man named Liu,
He remained expressionless after sitting down.
Wang Ruhai said with a smile: "Master Wang, everyone is here. Let's take out the thing and show it to everyone. I've only seen that thing once in the museum. If I can't buy it and touch it, it's not a worthwhile trip."
He pressed his head with his hands to signal for calmness, and then gave me a look.
I nodded in understanding, walked quickly to the door, opened it, took a look, and then closed the door to signal safety.
Only then did the boss say:
"Everyone, something happened yesterday. That thing will have to be kept for a few more days."
Liu Yuanning, who had been saying very little, stood up suddenly. He narrowed his eyes and said, "What do you mean, someone cut off the beard? Or do you, the king, don't understand the rules?"
"Rules are dead, people are alive. Please pay attention to what I just said. I said to keep it for a few more days, but I didn't say that I can't ship the goods." He looked at the three of them and said, "So, you can continue to bid, and the one with the highest price will win."
This rule still applies."
Liu Yuanning looked at the boss and said, "So what you mean is, pay the money first and deliver the goods later?"
He shook his head and said, "Pay 15% of the total price as a deposit first."
Liu Yuanning immediately shook his head and said: "I don't agree with this. In the past, when we cooperated with Boss Sun, we paid and delivered. Boss Wang, I see you have recruited a few new faces, but as for this rule, you still have to stick to the old ones.
"
He raised his head and said, "I know this." He looked at Qin Juan and asked, "Miss Qin, what do you mean?"
Qin Juan asked hesitantly: "How many days were you talking about? How many days specifically?"
"Five days." He stretched out his head and slapped him.
Qin Juan said with embarrassment: "It's not that I don't trust you, Chief Wang, but you also know that my money does not belong to me alone. Lao Kong, Lao Zhao and others all have shares."
"You can pay a deposit, let's not talk about it for now, you can take a look at the goods." The boss instructed me to bring over the iron box.
The moment I opened the iron box with the key, everyone stopped arguing and stared at the iron tower with shining eyes.
I only let them look at it for a few minutes and then put the tin box away.
"I'm out for 40," Wang Ruhai said, "Don't come in secret, come in the open."
Just when Qin Juan was about to speak, Liu Yuanning stood up and said: "438, everything I can get."
My head and I were both stunned, why would you buy something like this?
"Wait a minute, I need to call a few shareholders to discuss paying the deposit and delaying delivery for five days," Qin Juan took out her mobile phone and said.
Liu Yuanning shrugged, looked at the boss and said: "The rules in the industry are that you don't wait for anyone to play cards. Over there in Guangdong, it's ten minutes. Look at the boss, how about ten minutes?"
I thought to myself, this guy surnamed Liu is very powerful. He talks about things with rules, and he also talks with rules. There is indeed a saying in the south about selling stolen goods, which is to play cards for ten minutes, and the rules wait for no one.
If the leader wants to say there is no time limit, he will definitely say, "I followed the rules, but you didn't. This is a rebellion against the general's army."
There is a co-buying shareholder behind Qin Juan, who is the strongest, and Liu is also trying to seize the opportunity.
As a result of this competition, the person named Liu won the bid.
The time came before Qin Juan finished the call. As for Wang Ruhai, I guess his upper limit of strength at that time should be around 200. The boss was not very satisfied. He said that Qin Juan should be able to give a higher price, but if he did, Wang Xiansheng's reputation in the Tao would be bad.
Afterwards, Liu Yuanning and the boss went out for a trip. According to the agreement between the two parties, we received more than 650,000. He would pick up the tower five days later and pay the rest at that time.
When leaving, the man surnamed Liu shook hands with the boss and said: "Wang Boss, my wife has been betting all my life for half my life. I just bet on this for the rest of my life. I hope nothing goes wrong."
Just tell me you understand, don't worry.
Now that the matter has been decided and we have collected the money, we must take out the contents of the fourth section of the tower within five days.
It is generally said that the outside of Ashoka Pagoda is wrapped and protected by a stone letter and an iron letter. Our origin is special. It may be regarded as a "human letter" because this thing is taken out from the belly of the mummy. As for why it is hidden in the human belly,
I don't know, there's no way to verify it.
Boutou and I studied all night last night and formulated several plans. We tried all the plans the day before, but nothing worked.
Dou Sprout was impatient and yelled, "It's so hard, let's just cut it in half with a chainsaw."
I said, Yazai, don't talk nonsense. We have already collected the money. How could someone want it if it was cut in half? We might even have to pay liquidated damages to others.
Dou Sprout scratched his head and said: "What should I do? If I were Sun Wukong, I would become smaller and go in to see what is hidden inside."
"Get smaller?"
"Get smaller and go in and have a look?" He suddenly stood up and patted the table, "Yes! Yazai reminded me!"
He immediately asked: "Ya Zai, you used to run boats all year round. You should have seen the plumbers doing repairs on the boats, right?"
Dou Sprout thought thoughtfully for a few minutes, then suddenly clapped his hands and said loudly: "I know the clue. You want to use a ship repair endoscope to go into the tower and have a look! Don't you?" Dou Sprout looked excited.
"Good boy, you are not stupid," said the head with a smile.
"But the tool," Dou Yazai seemed to have thought of something again, and he said: "My uncle does have this thing on the ship. It is usually used by mechanics to check the internal corrosion of pipelines and look at solder joints. If it is shipped, it will take a long time.
It’s definitely not enough.”
He nodded repeatedly and said that Yazai was right, the high-tech endoscopic equipment we wanted to buy could only be purchased locally.
At that time, the endoscopes on the market were mainly divided into industrial grade and medical grade (don’t think wrongly). Douyazai and I asked people in the local market where we could buy industrial endoscopes.
It was hard to buy this thing. At that time, the local hardware stores in Yinchuan had no stock. Finally, we rented one through a hardware store owner and spent more than a thousand yuan. It was expensive, but there was nothing we could do about it. Maybe we could get it at this price.
Bought one.
At this time, the delivery date is getting closer and closer.
That afternoon, I drew a sketch on the paper and drew a pagoda. Then I divided the pagoda into five sections. I pointed my head at the picture and said: "The bottom of the pagoda is solid, and the middle may be hollow. If it is solid, there is no way to hide anything.
So we have to use a drill to drill a hole at the bottom of the tower, and then send the endoscopic line into the tower body."
After hearing this, I asked: "Yes, it is possible, but how will this small hole be repaired and covered up in the end? If it can't be repaired well, I won't be able to communicate with Liu Yuanning."
He told the head that it wasn't difficult, we could just leave the iron filings from the tower. He had already sent experts over, so there was no need to worry about it.
That's it, in the room that night.
A few of us gathered around and started to work. At around 8 o'clock in the morning, three buyers arrived as scheduled. I saw that the woman named Qin Juan looked confident, as if she was determined to win our tower. Wang Ruhai also wanted to bid.
, As for the man named Liu, his face was expressionless after he sat down.
