Xue Chen noticed the gloomy expressions of the three men next to him, but he didn't care. This is a free market. The seller has given the price, and of course anyone can bid.
When the little old man saw that Xue Chen was willing to bid for it, he didn't think much about it and immediately said, "Okay, I'll sell it to you. Let's go and get the money from the city."
The three men from the south were anxious.
"We want to buy it too, but why did you sell it to them? We can also pay 15 million and give you the money right away."
"I can give you another million!"
"We came from a very far away place."
The little old man glanced at the three of them sideways and curled his lips: "The things belong to our family, and we can sell them to whomever we want! Even though we are poor, we are also trustworthy. Fifteen million,
That’s fifteen million!”
"Eh." Xue Chen was a little surprised. He was so trustworthy. He didn't even regret giving an extra million.
But he didn't know that the little old man was very unhappy with these three men from the south. Why? Although he didn't know how a piece of wood on the beam was cracked, and there was no evidence that it was these three men who did it.
Damn it, but he felt that it must have something to do with these three men, otherwise why would it be such a coincidence that it split at this time?
Although the crack in that piece of wood was just a crack, the impact was indeed very bad. Yesterday, even if five pieces of wood could not be sold for 35 million, 30 million should be no problem.
But now that there was such a gap, he was caught off guard and had to lower the price. He didn't dare to delay any longer. What if another piece of wood cracked tomorrow?
From more than 30 million to 15 million, this is a loss of more than 10 million. Since he has already lost so much, he is no longer short of the one million. Naturally, he is unwilling to sell to probably
The person who caused him to suffer such a big loss would make him feel very angry. He is not a real businessman and does not understand that profit is the most important thing.
Yan Ruxing, who was standing aside, was a little stunned. He didn't expect that things would suddenly change so much. He was still thinking about buying those two pieces of good material just now. If those two pieces of material were really what Xue Chen said, one day.
Between 15 million and 20 million is very profitable.
And now we have bought all five pieces of material for a price of 15 million. Even if the three pieces of material are rotten, they cannot be completely rotten. Even if they cannot be made into furniture, they can be made into bracelets.
It might be worth eight million.
The three men from the south never expected that things would turn out like this. They spent a lot of effort to suppress the price, but instead they made wedding dresses for others.
The little old man turned around and shouted: "Second, second and third, get ready and come with me to the city. The boss is looking after your home. You must keep an eye on it. Don't let anyone get close to these materials. Do you understand?"
After giving the instructions, the little old man looked at the three men coming from the south, and his meaning was very clear: to see off the guests.
The three men turned and left with gloomy faces.
Yan Ruxing also stayed in the village. After all, he was too old to withstand the hardships, and the road conditions were not good.
Yu Qiang drove Lu Jianmin's car, took Xue Chen and the three old men straight to the nearest county town to transfer money.
This round trip took more than three hours, and it was already evening when we came back.
After the little old man and his family got the money, they were beaming with joy, even happier than during the Chinese New Year. They had already begun to think about how big a house to buy in the city and what kind of car to buy.
Xue Chen and Yan Ruxing stayed in the village, and the little old man's family arranged accommodation in an empty room in this old house.
Lu Jianmin and Yu Qiang have to return to Sanlian City and rent a large trailer.
These five logs all grow on the old house. If you want to remove the logs, you have to demolish the house first, which requires manpower. Fortunately, the little old man said that he can ask people in the village to help and help carry them outside.
Early the next morning, the little old man and his family called the young and old men in the village to start digging into the old house.
The little old man bought several good cartons of cigarettes in the city yesterday and took them out to the villagers to spread the smoke. The smile on his face was unheard of, and the wrinkles in his smile were deep.
The villagers also expressed great envy. This little old man's family was originally a poor family in the village. His three sons got married and owed a lot of foreign debt. But now they have turned over and become prosperous because of a dilapidated house.
Since this news broke out, other villagers have also gone home and rummaged around. Unfortunately, most of the houses have been rebuilt into brick houses. The old houses in the past have long been demolished, and even the huanghuali among the beams have been chopped and burned.
Already...
It took a dozen young and old men less than half a day to knock the old house down to the ground, and the five old huanghuali materials were finally fully exposed to people's sight and were carried out and placed on the road.
side.
Yan Ruxing immediately checked carefully and used a knife to cut off some debris from both ends of the wood to check the condition inside. The result was the same as Xue Chen said, one of the top beams and two beams were very rotten.
Seriously, the value is not very great anymore. There are still one pillar and one beam of wood that are well preserved, with only slight decay.
Yan Ruxing is very satisfied with this result.
What's interesting is that when Xue Chen saw the little old man, he also came over to take a look. He saw that three pieces of wood were rotten, with a very lucky look on his face. He smiled inwardly and thought to himself, this is really a buyer and seller.
Everyone is satisfied with the transaction.
Speaking of which, he and Yan Ruxing made a profit. It is conservatively estimated to be more than 10 million, and it should reach 15 million, which is doubled.
Of course, in the eyes of the little old man, their family has also made a profit. With fifteen million, they will have enough food and clothing for the rest of their lives.
He stepped forward and took a look at the piece of material that had inexplicable cracks, and he actually discovered something. There were a few finger marks faintly left on the surface of the material. Although the surface of the material was somewhat moist and rotten, he wanted to leave finger marks.
How much force does it take? Obviously, this piece of material did not crack because it could not bear the weight of the roof, but was broken off! Is this the strength that normal people can have...
With the help of the villagers, the five logs were carried out of the village one by one and transported to the main road two miles away that was accessible to vehicles.
Although these villagers did not ask for compensation and were here to help the little old man and his family, Xue Chen was not a stingy person. He was so tired that he broke into a sweat when he saw the wood being carried, so he gave each of the villagers who helped three hundred yuan.
money.
The car that Lu Jianmin and Yu Qiang found had arrived a long time ago. It was a large trailer, more than enough to hold five pieces of wood.
After the wood was loaded on the car, Xue Chen and the others had no need to stay any longer. They said goodbye to the little old man's family and the villagers, with the car in front and the taxi behind, heading towards Sanlian City.
But before arriving in the town, Xue Chen, who was sitting in the passenger seat of the car in front of him after walking a few miles, saw a car parked in front of him, crossing the road, blocking the already narrow gravel road.
Sealed.
Standing next to the car were three men, the three buyers.
"Xue Chen, who are they?" Yan Ruxing glanced ahead with some worry.
"Uncle Yan, you stay in the car, I'll go over and take a look." Xue Chen opened the door and got out of the car. When he saw Yu Qiang, he followed him out and stopped him. "Just stay in the car. I'll go there by myself."
."
After getting off the car, Xue Chen walked straight over and stood in front of the three men: "You three, please move the car and let us pass."
The three men all looked ugly. The man who discovered the cracked wood yesterday took a step forward and seemed to be the leader among the three. He looked over with an unkind look and snorted: "Friend, you are not being kind to do this. Price
We made it, but you bought the material, is this appropriate?"
"Is there any problem?" Xue Chen also admitted that he got a bargain, but there was nothing wrong with what he did, whether it was from a legal or moral perspective.
This is a very fair transaction. It is impossible that because the other party set the price, he cannot participate in the transaction? There is no such reason.
"I'll give you two solutions. You can transport the wood, but we can't make the trip in vain. We can also lower the price. It's not much. It's five million hard work, or you can keep the wood.
, you go, we will be reasonable and give you an extra million, a total of sixteen million, you think about it."
Seeing the man in front of him vowing to give him two ways, Xue Chen raised his eyebrows, chuckled and said, "If I don't like these two endings, do you still want to grab it?"
He really didn't expect that he would meet such a domineering person and ask for five million. Even if he gave it, it would still be a big profit, but why should he give it? It doesn't make sense.
"Boy, don't give me a toast and eat as a fine. You don't know the bounds of heaven and earth! We won't do it if we try to rob it, but we will have to break one of your arms to let me vent the anger in my heart. Don't believe me that I dare not do it. I
If you dare to say it, you dare to do it, and you won’t have any trouble if you do it!”
When he heard that one of his arms was about to be broken, Xue Chen's expression gradually became cold, and he glanced at the three people: "Get out of the way."
Xue Chen's actions completely angered the three people. The man standing at the front looked cold, stretched out a big hand and grabbed it, and said viciously: "Your arm will break like that piece of wood, and so will you."
I regret not knowing what is good and what is good!”
"Huh?" Xue Chen glanced at him and saw that the palm that was grabbing at him fiercely seemed to have changed. It seemed to have grown in size, and the blue blood vessels on the back of the hand were bursting. It looked very intimidating.
force.
An idea popped into his head: Special people?
Obviously, the person in front of me should be a special person with special abilities in his hands, and he is also the culprit who broke the wood. (To be continued)
