Chapter 546 [Who is more stupid than who] (Part 2)
Gu Jiayuan's eyes widened. He dared his lover to think it was cheap. I'm an idiot. Why didn't I say five thousand taels? But now it's too late to regret. The person who regretted it more than him was the fat man Liu Zhiyang. Liu Zhiyang saw that his companion was so easy to do it.
When it came to five hundred taels, it was too cheap to think that I had sold the jade ring for only fifty taels.
Everyone regarded Hu Xiaotian as someone who had been taken advantage of. These days, meeting someone who was taken advantage of was almost like picking up a treasure. Everyone hurriedly wanted to sell the things they were wearing to Hu Xiaotian, and showed off their personal accessories. Li Mingju couldn't stand it anymore, and watched
This group of companions who claimed to be well-educated and sensible all tricked a foreign merchant, and felt resentful in their hearts. He said calmly: "Mr. Hu, we are having a small gathering, and we have some things that we would like to discuss privately. I hope that Mr.
Don’t bother me, we’ll talk about it later if you have anything else.”
Hu Xiaotian said: "I'm really sorry to disturb several young masters from eating. Why don't you just charge this meal to my account? Hu will go first. I will live in Room 1, Tianzi, Cyclamen. Dear gentlemen,
If you have time, feel free to come over to my place and make friends." He said goodbye and returned to his seat.
As soon as Hu Xiaotian left, Liu Zhiyang and Gu Jiayuan complained about Li Mingju. Liu Zhiyang whispered: "Brother Mingju, why did you drive him away? We finally met a fool. It's a good thing to make some money."
Gu Jiayuan said: "That's right, of course, if we get any benefits, your share, brother, is indispensable."
Li Mingju was obviously a little angry. He said seriously: "We are Bohai scholars. We represent not only ourselves, but also the image of Bohai in many cases. Don't think that you are complacent just because you have made some petty profits from others. If others
What will you do if you find out that you have been deceived?"
Gu Jiayuan said: "Where can he find us when he finds out he has been deceived?" The fat man nodded.
Li Mingju said angrily: "It's a good thing to find you. If we can't find you, people will spread their grievances on the entire Bohai Kingdom, because you and all the citizens of the Bohai Kingdom will be accused. You have done bad things, but you have done something wrong."
If you want to damage the face of Bohai Country, you keep saying that you have read the book of a saint. How can you have the dignity to salute under the statue of a saint?"
Several people were made to look bad after he said it, but no one felt that they were at fault.
Although Hu Xiaotian was far away, he heard their words clearly. He sighed in his heart that Li Mingju was a sincere gentleman, but his friends were really poor in character. They regarded themselves as heroes, and they all wanted to
To steal money from his own hands, Hu Xiaotian had already thrown out the bait. Just waiting for the bait to take the bait automatically, he didn't say much, asked the waiter to directly throw him a silver coin, and then turned around and went back to the room.
Li Mingju and others saw Hu Xiaotian's behavior and decided that this person was a nouveau riche. Li Mingju said: "Brothers, I have something to do, so I'll leave first."
Gu Jiayuan and Liu Zhiyang had their own thoughts, and when they saw Li Mingju leaving, they couldn't help but bid farewell to him one by one.
After Li Mingju left, he quickly chased after Hu Xiaotian. Hu Xiaotian left the restaurant and was on his way to the backyard inn when he heard someone calling from behind: "Brother, please stay."
Hu Xiaotian stopped, turned around and saw Li Mingju, and couldn't help but smile to himself. But he didn't know whether Li Mingju called him to remind him or to leave everyone alone to get more benefits from him. Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Master Li, what do you want from me?
"
Li Mingju looked behind him, fearing that his companions would see it, and then whispered to Hu Xiaotian: "I chased after you just to remind you that the things they just sold you are not worth the price at all. In your opinion,
I don’t know much about jade and jewelry, so it’s better for a foreign merchant to try not to reveal his money in Bohai Country. My brother looks like he’s also a scholar. Don’t you understand the principle of not revealing your wealth?”
Hu Xiaotian had already concluded that Li Mingju was a good person. He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you Mr. Li for reminding me. Hu has his own thoughts." After saying that, he walked away.
Li Mingju looked at Hu Xiaotian's back in confusion, wondering to himself, what did he mean when he said that he has his own number of times in his heart? Could it be that I was worrying too much? Hey! Anyway, I have already reminded him, it is up to you whether you want to or not.
, Li Mingju shook his head and left Cyclamen.
Hu Xiaotian returned to the inn and asked the waiter to bring a pot of good tea. As expected, he heard a polite voice from outside the door not long after: "Is Hu Caidong here?" He had already walked through the door without opening the door.
From the heavy footsteps outside, I could tell that the person was Liu Zhiyang.
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "The door is unlocked, just come in."
The chubby Liu Zhiyang walked in with a smile on his face and eyes that were almost dripping with honey.
Hu Xiaotian pretended to be surprised and stood up and said: "Who do I think it is? It turns out to be Mr. Liu. I hope Mr. Liu won't be offended if I miss you."
Liu Zhiyang chuckled and said: "You're welcome, you're welcome. Hu Caidong and I hit it off immediately. You look a few years older than me. If we don't see you outside, I'll call you Brother Hu."
Hu Xiaotian cursed in his heart, how can I look older than you? I am wearing a human skin mask. He smiled and said: "Then I won't be polite. Could it be that brother Liu came to me because he regretted it? He wanted to pull the jade finger.
Want to go back?"
Liu Zhiyang waved his hands hurriedly. How can he get back the bargain he finally sold? Do you think I am as stupid as you? He said sternly: "A gentleman's words are hard to follow. Brother Hu, I am a person who reads the books of sages.
How can you go back on your word?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "That's good, sit down, please sit down! I just thought Brother Liu had regretted it."
After Liu Zhiyang sat down, he took a cup of tea from Hu Xiaotian and sighed: "To tell you the truth, I definitely have regrets, but I can't go back on my regrets."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Brother Liu, I also know that this transaction took advantage of you. I have been in the jewelry business for so many years. With my eyesight, I can tell at a glance that the jade ring you sold me is better than Mr. Gu's just now."
The jade pendant sold to me is even more precious."
"That's right!" Liu Zhiyang took the opportunity to call out to Qu.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Brother Liu, I can tell at a glance that you are kinder than Mr. Gu. To tell you the truth, this is my first time to do business in Bohai Country. I have no friends here. I can only rely on friends when I go out.
I think Mr. Liu is loyal and sincere, and he is definitely someone we can get along with."
Liu Zhiyang thought in his heart that you might have made a mistake, but he said: "That's right, that's of course. I also feel that I am in love with Brother Hu."
Hu Xiaotian said: "I came to Bohai Country to do jade and jewelry business. I originally wanted to buy goods from Jubaozhai, but Jubaozhai was closed down for some reason. I am also afraid that I will be deceived by others because of the unfamiliar place. Brother Liu, do you know?
Do you know any reliable channels here where you can buy really good goods?”
Liu Zhiyang said: "Well..." He deliberately played it deep in order to let Hu Xiaotian fall into his trap.
Hu Xiaotian took out a stack of silver notes from his arms and put it on the table. Liu Zhiyang looked at the thick stack of silver notes with only two eyes missing, and thought to himself that this guy is really rich.
Hu Xiaotian said: "As long as Brother Liu can help me find the source of genuine goods, I will never treat you badly, and I will buy it from you at a price that is 30% higher than the market price."
Liu Zhiyang had been completely occupied by greed. He nodded and said: "I am not satisfied with Brother Hu. I have some treasures at home. If Brother Hu is interested, I will go back and get them for you."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Go quickly! Go quickly! I can afford no matter how much money you have!"
Liu Zhiyang got up and left. This guy was going to buy goods. Thinking that so many banknotes would soon become his own, he felt very happy.
Just after Liu Zhiyang left, Gu Jiayuan came again. After Gu Jiayuan left, his drinking companion came again. Hu Xiaotian naturally followed the same pattern. He went back and forth and asked a lot of information from this group of people. Jubaozhai has now been closed.
All of them, including the shopkeeper and accountant of Jubaozhai Branch, were arrested and sent to the Ministry of Punishment. Recently, the jewelry businessmen in Wanghai City have not dared to act rashly. After all, they have had many contacts with Jubaozhai in the past, and everyone is worried that the matter of Jubaozhai will be contacted.
to your own head.
Hu Xiaotian collected a lot of information just by sitting motionless in the room. Liu Zhiyang and Gu Jiayuan's gang were not idle either. Seeing that Hu Xiaotian was so rich, they went out to buy goods one after another. Not only did they spend the little money Hu Xiaotian gave them
, and also put in a lot of money, and they were reluctant to let go of their children, so they thought they had met a fool and wanted to make huge profits from him today. People like Liu Zhiyang, who came from a well-off family, brought two thousand taels of silver notes from home to buy them.
The jewelry and jade were going to be resold to Hu Xiaotian, and he was not very greedy. He could just turn the two thousand taels into ten thousand taels.
As for Gu Jiayuan, who usually doesn't have much money, he not only spent the 500 taels given to him by Hu Xiaotian, but also borrowed money from everywhere, raised 3,000 taels, and even borrowed money from loan sharks. Gu Jiayuan was even more greedy than Liu Zhiyang.
In the evening, these guys came one after another, carrying large and small baggage to Cyclamen. After these people met, everyone knew what the other person was doing, but no one said anything, and they just pretended not to see each other.
.
Hu Xiaotian opened the door and called all the guys in.
Liu Zhiyang and Gu Jiayuan rushed into the room at the same time, both panting from exhaustion. Liu Zhiyang said: "I came first, Brother Hu looked at me first."
Gu Jiayuan said: "Hu...brother...I...I..."
Someone called me Uncle Hu from behind.
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Don't be busy, don't be busy, as long as it is from you, I will accept it all, come on! Brother Liu, you put it on the table, I will take a look first!"
Liu Zhiyang spread out the baggage, revealing the jewelry and jade inside. Hu Xiaotian glanced at it and knew that this time it was much better than last time, but there were no real treasures. He said to Gu Jiayuan: "Open it now."
Put it on the ground." Then he turned to the people behind him and said, "Put them all on the ground and spread them out, let me take a look!"
Everyone was obedient.
Hu Xiaotian took out a thick stack of banknotes from his arms.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the banknote in his hand.
Hu Xiaotian said: "The things you brought are all good, I want them all!"
Who said that the cold came back? You are right, Octopus will send you the first update first, and try to write the second update! In pain and suffering... (To be continued.)
