"Brother Fan, with all due respect, most of these things are worthless." Zhou Zichen shook his head. As long as this kind of defective product has been in the industry for more than three years, you can tell at a glance that it is definitely not a good product.
"This is impossible!" If he hadn't been in the car, Fan Yi would have jumped up now.
"Brother Fan, look, this rough stone has a smooth appearance and a pleasant color, but its toughness is pitiful." Zhou Zichen casually grabbed a rough stone and weighed it twice in his hand.
"Look at this again. It's so light. What good things could be in it?"
"This is too rough and has too many colors..."
Zhou Zichen gave Fan Yi several examples one after another. Even though Fan Yi didn't know how to distinguish, he could roughly understand the meaning just by listening to Zhou Zichen's words.
Anyway, it means that these things are all tricked by others, and none of them are good.
Fan Yi's face turned red and blue for a while. The red color was because he was embarrassed, and the green color was because he was angry. But he couldn't find anyone to reason with him. He bought this thing and wanted to return it? Do you think it was an online purchase?
"Then, what should we do now?"
Fan Yi stuttered a bit as he spoke. It cost him a lot of money to buy these things. But his old man said that in order to compete for the family business, every penny is precious now.
Fan Yi had never earned a penny for his family in his whole life. He thought he could deceive the brokers with his fame, but he was deceived instead.
"There is a way, it just depends on whether Brother Fan can trust me or not." Zhou Zichen has a good impression of Fan Yi. If helping him can bring benefits to himself, then it will be the best thing.
"This...as long as brother can help me catch some good goods, I will naturally trust you."
Fan Yi hesitated for a moment. He knew nothing about this. If Zhou Zichen could help him purchase a batch of good rough stones, he would be able to gain a firm foothold in the Fan family in the future.
By then, my old man will have bragging rights with others, and his face will be bright.
"Brother Fan, please rest assured. Since I dare to say such things, I will definitely help you." Zhou Zichen smiled slightly. This is only the first step. Only investment will pay off.
"The West Market is next to it, why don't we go take a look first?"
Fan Yi knew that what he bought were all defective products, so he was naturally a little anxious. Now that he was passing by the market he went to before, he couldn't help but want to go there now.
"It's okay, if I can eat after I solve the problem, I won't be considered as being rewarded for nothing."
Zhou Zichen doesn't have any objections. It's not noon yet, so there's no rush to eat.
Fan Yi informed the driver to drive to the West Market, and the three of them got off the car outside the market and walked in.
It’s now tens of degrees below zero in Mongolia, but even so the Western Market is still very popular.
Many people running street vendors wear thick cotton clothes, with their hands folded in their cuffs, and thick hats on their heads, which is very characteristic of Mongolia.
Fan Yi was a little puzzled when he saw Zhou Zichen lingering in front of the street stall, and suggested: "Brother, why don't we go and see the places I've been to before? What good products can be found at this street stall?"
Zhou Zichen was a little speechless. It seemed that Fan Yi really didn't understand anything. How could he choose a place to buy goods? It seemed that he was undoubtedly a playboy.
"Brother Fan, you don't understand. Although there are more genuine things inside, there are many knowledgeable people inside. These people outside are all bought from small places, and they may have good goods, and they
I don’t even know.”
Zhou Zichen patiently explained to Fan Yi, and then his eyes were fixed on a piece of relatively old but relatively well-preserved jade.
"Boss, how much does this cost?"
Zhou Zichen held the raw jade in his hand and felt it carefully. Although his eyes could see through the material, he tried not to use it when he could. He still had the ability to look at these things.
"Hey! Sir, you have good eyesight. I spent a lot of money on this thing..."
The boss's opinion came to the business, and he immediately became energetic. No matter whether the weather was cold or not, he would take off his mask and give a long speech to Zhou Zichen.
"Okay, tell me what's the lowest price?" Zhou Zichen waved his hand. He could just pick up a random stone on the roadside and ask him, and he would be able to say something like this.
"One price, eight hundred!" The boss didn't care and casually said a price.
Zhou Zichen turned around and left after hearing this. Such a small piece of low-grade rough stone costs such a high price, and the processing fee is more than the selling price.
"Don't go, young man. If you are sincere, you can be a little lower, but the quantity is important. You definitely can't just buy this one..."
The boss quickly stopped Zhou Zichen. Fan Yi next to Zhou Zichen saw that he was a young master from a wealthy family. If the price was right, he would pay a little more.
"How much more can you, a street vendor, have?"
Fan Yi looked at the stall owner with disdain. If he really had the money, he would have gone to the next room to open a shop.
"As much as you have, I want them all."
Zhou Zichen stopped Fan Yi. If most of them were of this quality, it wouldn't be a problem to charge a little more. And if Fan Yi asked like that, wasn't he just forcing people to tell him where to eat?
"There are still fifty pounds, how much do you want?" Seeing how generous Zhou Zichen was, the boss probably gave him some advice.
Zhou Zichen did not answer in a hurry, but turned his head and walked aside with Fan Yi.
"Brother Fan, what do you think now?" Even if Zhou Zichen wants to buy it, he has to ask Fan Yi if he is willing. What if he makes his own decision if he doesn't want to?
"You don't want to buy them all, do you?" Fan Yi looked at Zhou Zichen in surprise. This guy seemed crazier than himself.
Seeing Zhou Zichen nod his head, Fan Yi felt a little hesitant in his heart.
Speaking of which, he and Zhou Zichen just met by chance, and he is not stupid. Fifty pounds would cost at least several hundred thousand to buy.
"Let's do this, Brother Fan. I'll pay the money in advance, and I'll have to trouble you for the rest. We'll share the money we make, how about it?"
Of course Zhou Zichen had considered this and simply paid for it himself. Several hundred thousand was not a big sum of money in his eyes.
Moreover, he recently wanted to find trouble with Li Yao. It was purely an accident that he encountered such a situation. He is a bastard if he doesn't make money. As long as the stone is good, he will definitely make a profit if he buys it.
"This...is good."
Although Fan Yi is usually a bit dandy, he is very business-minded, but he just doesn't want to quarrel with those in his family.
If his father hadn't been ill for a long time, he wouldn't have messed with these things, so he could just take advantage of Zhou Zichen's guidance to prove it to himself.
"I want them all, when will they arrive?" After the two of them agreed, Zhou Zichen turned back and said to the stall owner.
"In three days." the boss replied.
Zhou Zichen thought that he would be able to finish his work in three days, so he made an appointment with his boss to meet in three days.
"Brother, he is a cruel man!"
After Fan Yi and Zhou Zichen left the West Market, they couldn't help but give Zhou Zichen a thumbs up.
"What's going on? If Brother Fan is proficient in these things, he might be more ruthless than me, right?" Zhou Zichen smiled and said modestly.
Fan Yi rubbed his head in embarrassment. He had never liked these things since he was a child. He was smart but not motivated. He knew this very well.
"Stop talking about this, let's go eat first."
After Fan Yi got in the car, he told the driver and the car drove to the hotel.
Furong Restaurant is not the most luxurious hotel in the area, but the environment is very quiet.
In the private room on the second floor, Zhou Zichen and Fan Yi were having a drink and chatting happily. Xiaohua was picking up vegetables and eating alone, not talking to the two of them, pretending that they did not exist.
"Brother, as long as things can go through this time, you will be my brother from now on!"
Fan Yi seemed to be a little over the top, and Zhou Zichen also felt a little dizzy. People from Meng Province really don't want to drink too hard.
He was referring to the rough stone Zhou Zichen selected this time. If it could really be sold at a good price, then he would have taken advantage.
"That's natural. Brother Fan is a generous person, which suits me very well!"
When men drink, it is inevitable to say this kind of thing. Otherwise, why is it said that the business negotiated at the wine table is most likely to be concluded? Because they all like each other!
"By the way, brother, if you are not busy, just stay at my house. Won't the stone come over in three days? Let's take a look together then?" Fan Yi raised his glass again and touched it with Zhou Zichen, and then said.
"I still have something to do recently. I'll talk to Brother Fan after I finish handling it."
Zhou Zichen waved his hands with a melancholy look on his face.
Of course he was just pretending, otherwise how could Fan Yi take the bait?
"Things? I have friends all over Mongolia. If you encounter any difficulties, just tell me."
Fan Yi took a bite of his food and said to Zhou Zichen with all his heart.
"It's not a difficult thing to say, but most people really can't solve it..."
Zhou Zichen frowned, how could he look like there was nothing difficult?
"I don't think my brother is in need of money, so he must be in need of people?"
Fan Yi saw that Zhou Zichen didn't look like he was fine, and he and Zhou Zichen still had an appointment, so he tried to help as much as he could.
"Hey... Since Brother Fan is so enthusiastic, let me explain it to you. I learned that a group of tomb robbers came recently. These people were sent by people I know in my business. This kind of thing doesn't happen to everyone. Disgraceful, in order to prevent him from getting deeper into trouble, I can only expose him."
Zhou Zichen pretended to be distressed, but the most important thing was that what Li Yao did was really unreasonable, otherwise Zhou Zichen would not have had the chance to catch him by his pigtails.
"I have so many good hands here. Tell me, how many do you want?"
Fan Yi slapped the table. Tomb robbing is illegal. This shows that Zhou Zichen is a pretty good person, at least he is upright.
"That's not what I meant. There are many people and they may notice something when we get there. I just need Brother Fan to help me expose them. I will call you to tell you the specific arrangements."
Zhou Zichen shook his head. If there were too many people, it would be inconvenient. If Meng Sheng was not familiar with him, it would not be difficult to catch them, but if he wanted to be exposed, it would not be that simple.
After hearing this, Fan Yi expressed his support for Zhou Zichen and assured Zhou Zichen that there would be absolutely no problem.
The Fan family's power is not weak, and Fan Yi's reputation is even more famous. He also knows some people in the officialdom, so this matter is really not difficult for him.
The meal passed quickly. After eating, Zhou Zichen and Fan Yi left each other's contact information and agreed to notify each other if necessary.
"Xiaohua, get a car quickly..."
After Zhou Zichen waited for Fan Yi and others to leave, he sat down on the side of the road.
This man from Meng Province is so good at drinking!
Zhou Zichen felt like his head was going to explode now. Just now he was able to show off his strength in front of Fan Yi, but now he couldn't bear it when he left.
